Swindle On Farmers.

Two smooth swindles are being
worked among farmers in South Dako-
ia. A we'll dressed, smooth talking
Individual appears at the farm home
and announces himself as an inspector
of livestock. He proceeds to inspect
the cattle, sheep, etc., and then pres
ents a bill of from $3.50 to $500, as
the case may be. Later the farmer
discovers, that the inspector is an i'm
poster.
Another scheme is where an alleged
imposter examines farmers cattle
and declares he has found tuberculosis,
He ventures the suggestion that the
disease is in Very light form and ad
vises the owner to dispose of his stock
as early as possible to some one outside
of the county in which he resides.
A few days later a stock buyer
chances along and purchases the cattle
at price below market quotations,
the farmer congratulating himself that
he has disposed of them and saved
himself from loss, only at later date
to discover that he has been the victim
of swindle and that his cattle passed
inspection and were sent to eastern
markets..

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet
Remarkable Home Mixture

A well-known authority on Rheu-
1natism gives the following valuable,
although simple and harmless, pre-
scription, which any one can easily
prescribe at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in b bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime. -...
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take. 4... g.. r.. IL .:i,. +.
This pleasant mixture, if taken re.
gularly for q few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juripg the stomach. While there are
many So called Rheumatism remedies
patent medicines etc., some Of which
do give relief, few really give perma.
nent results, and the above will, NJ
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.

SPEAKER CANNON MUST BE
GOOD.

The following dispatch from Hot
Springs, Va, is very significant:
"The speaker has got power in sup
pressing legislation. If this repres-
sive influence should stand in the
way there would be but one course
for the president-elect to pursue,
and that is to exert his influence
against obstruction
In these words, Theodore E. Bur-
ton of Ohio, after a long conference
with President-elect Taft, substan-
tiated the report that Judge Taft
has made up his mind to make such
a fight for tariff revision that the
reelection of Speaker Cannon must
be a secondary consideration.
In the event of the defeat of Can
non for the speakership, the election
of Mr.. Burton to that Office is fore
cast.
After the conference which occur
red in the Taft cottage, Mr.. Burton
said he was none the less a candi-
date for the senate than when he
came and that on his return tC
Washington, he would give vigorous
attention to the canvass in Ohio.
Regarding the possible contest
over the speakership, Mr.. Burton
had this to say:
''In speaking on this subject
am not assuming to say anything
for Mr.. Taft, but only to express
what seems to me is clearly a cor.
rect view of the situation.
"The president-elect made certain
promises during the campaign. One
was for a thorough and honest re-
vision of the tariff. This does mo-
necessarily mean that rate in al
schedules will be lowered or tha
any legitimate right or interest O.
either capital or labor will be dis
regarded. $50, :.
''It does mean a careful re-exam
ination of the whole subject. Be
sides the tariff there were othe
, promises contained in the platform
i and reiterated by the president-elec
, which shall be fulfilled even at tn
cost of contest for the speakership
! "No doubt Mr.. Taft would; oppos
, Mr.. Cannon reluctantly. but as hea'
of his party as we'll as the president
! elect of the nation. he is bound t.
meet the expectations of the peopl
and insist upon the observance O
party pledges"
Mr.. Burton then made the state
ment in regard to the speaker
powers of legislative obstruction.
cit is to be hoped" he continued
: "there will be harmony and concer
of action between the president-elec
and Speaker Cannon that a contes
will be avoided"
Mr.. Taft has made no statemen
for publication on the subject. Thos
who have talked with him say tha
| his determination to "prevent OF
struction'' is most vigorous.

The Fake Primary Law.

The Journal Radical voices the
sentiment OF republicans throughout
the county in an editorial suggesting
that two years hence the party return
to the old county convention system of
nominating candidates. Of course the
convention would be merely suggestive
unless in the mean time the primary
law should be repealed. But it would
have all the force and effect OF the old
convention system. As noted by the
Journal. hadical it would be the ex-
pressed will of the people. The prim-
ary election to legalize it would simply
be matter of form. The primary
system was established as reform
primarily to give all the voters an op-
portunity to participate in the nomi-
nation OF candidates. But as matter
of fact voters have always had the op-
portunity to exercise that privilege and
we believe more SO through the old
caucus than through the primary.
Indifference on the part of the people
was possibly as great in the one case
as In the other. But that is the
fault of the voter, not of the system.
Under the primary the voter does not
select the candidate-the candidate
selects himself aud the voter must
! choose between such candidates as
may avail themselves of the privileges
; of filing. Practical tests and expert
ence has shown that under the primary
the office rarely seeks the man. There
is no opportunity for the voters to get
together for the purpose of considering
available timber and suggesting nomi-
nations to the end that good men of
ability may become candidates that
otherwise would never think of rum
ming and who under the primary
would not push themselves to the front,
Certainly the old system is far more
preferable in securing a definite ex-
preston of the people. 1t is fact
that the primary system is a bowling
farce and in no sense reform as in
tended. The law should be instantly
repealed upon the assembling of the
legislature. e.-Janesville Argues.
