from the assessment rolls, and thus
have escaped their just share OF
taxes. AS a matter Of informa-
tion this is interesting and we pre-
sume it is true, but it has no polit-
ical significance. It simply shows
that the state boards of equaliza-
ton have perhaps been lax in their
duty of looking up this property.
The fact does not reflect great cred
it upon Mr.. Crawford personally
The session laws of 1896, chapter
%, makes the attorney general a
member of the state board of equal
ization. The board of equaliza-
ton assesses the railroads. In
! 1895 Mr.. Crawford was attorney
general and was thus member OF
this board, yet in that year the
railroads were only assessed anav
erage Of $3, ,292 per mile, while il.
1905, at the close of the ten years
of railroad domination that he re
fers to, they were assessed at $4,,
929.S4 per mile. Thus as tax fer
rets these boards that he claims
were under the control of tire rail
roads beat his own record by ST.
SAT "a per mile.
AS matter of fact Mr.. Craw-
ford is simply trying to take credit
to himself for the reform move
ment that is sweeping the country
from one end to the other. The
movement to exercise greater con
trol over public service corpora
tions is not peculiar to South Da-
kota but it is seen in every state
and in the control of national af-
fairs. Revision of primary cleo
tion laws to give the voters more
| direct voice in the selection of can.
didates is a national rather than a
state movement and Illinois, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebras-
ka have all been adopting revised
primary laws. The movement
J struck this state about the same
time that it did the surrounding
states, and had gained large pro
portions before MIR. Crawford be-
came identified with it. Srch a
movement always furnishes AN op-
portunity for designing politicians
to jump to the front OF the ad
vancing host and proclaim them
selves leaders. They usually try
to convert a healthy reform into a
revolution, and every one who does
not sympatllize with their radical
views is declared to be reaction
ary Pres. Roosevelt expressed
the situation very nicely when he
said that breeching on harness
was sometimes ust as ntial as
a set of traces, and Secretary Taft
says it is no longer a question
whether we shall return to corpo-
ration control, but it is whether
we shall exercise a conservative
control over corporations or adopt
pure socialism.
The so called stalwarts are as
much in sympathy with healthy
reform as are the insurgents. The

JUBILEE IN
DARWIN|SM
TOMORROW

Dublin, September 1.-Savants of
many nations are gathering in Dublin
today for the Darwin jubilee meeting !
of the British Association for the Ad- !.
vancement of Science. The conven- |
ton, which will be formally opened |
tomorrow, marks the fiftieth anniver
sary of the reading by Charles OAR
win of his immortal paper dealing with
the hypothesis of natural selection.
Francis Darwin, son of the great patu-
ralist, is president-elect OF the associa-
ton and will be inaugurated and
preside at the session.
He will follow in his fathers foot
steps and read a revolutionary ad-
dress, a paper explaining his theory
Of the intelligence of plants, which is
the result of many years observation
and meditation, as was Charles Oar
wins epoch-making hypothesis made
public in 1858.
/ Francis Darwin has not received any
more encouragement in his daring
thought than did his father before
him. But he is confident he can prove,
for instance, that plants remember
and soon develop habits"
The notion is just as far reaching as
the doctrine of natural selection, but
not SO important, perhaps, in its so
cial, ethical implications. The absence
of any human interest in the subject
assures a less eager interest among
people not professionally given to
scientific pursuits. But among then
the discussion is likely to be just as
keen and searching as that provoked
in 1858 by the publication of Darwin

MEETS NFORT WORTH, TEX.
BAN ON BIG HATS, PASSES
and SPECTATORS IN THE
Big THEATERS OF PARIS

The ordinance touches other theatre
matters. No child under 13 is al
lowed to appear in music hall or
regular theatre except by permission
of the minister of public instruction.
All parts of every theatre must be
thoroughly ventilated and cleaned af-
ter each performance. 1t is also pro-
vided that costumes must be disin-
fected if worn by different persons.
It has long been a commonplace
that no self-respecting Parsian ever
paid for a theatre ticket. If he could
not go deadheaded altogether, he tried
to secure one of the tickets to which
an author was entitled each night or
at any rate a half-rate ticket, which
tickets are issued in great numbers.
The Theatrical Directors Association
has now decided to end all free
tickets
Every theatre after today will keep
register of newspapermen entitled
to free admission, which privilege will
| be strictly personal The directors
will be allowed to distribute among
personal friends only twenty tickets
for each performance. Only two di-
rectors opposed this plan, one being
Sarah Bernhard.
Another innovation in Parsian the
atrical circles is the opening tonight
of new theatre where American
and English playwrights will be able
to produce plays barred by the
''prudery" of New York and London
Maxine Schottland. young Russian
author who has spent most of his life
in England and America. is the pro
moter of the playhouse, and will open
it with one of his own dramas. 1t is
his purpose to stage only plays ant
comedies of variety so frank thai
they would have to be mutilated be
fore becoming acceptable to a New
York or London manager.

Paris, September 1.-Ticket specula-
tors, free theatre passes and Merry
Widow hats have fallen under the
ban of the the theatre commission of
Paris, headed by NJ. Lepine, perfect
of police, and the new ordinance di-
rected against these nuisances be-
comes effective today.
1t provides for the price of places
at each performance as announced in
advertisement, and orders that, once
changed by the ticket office or by any
agency. Managers of theatres cannot
sell tickets at reduced prices unless
the entire house at that performance
is sold out at reduced rates. 1t is also
provided by the ordinance that the
price must be stamped on each
ticket.
The commission was less brutal in
its decision on women's hats and ex-
presses itself politely, saying that no
spectator shall be allowed to prevent
another from seeing or hearing. After
today any man who finds difficulty in
seeing the stage from behind a hat
! has only to call an usher, who will
notify the owner of the offending
headgear to remove it.

SOUTH and west ARE
LARGELY REPRESENTED
Principal Business of the Gathering Is
to Make Prices for the Products Of
the Farm-No Attempt to Batter
Down Prices.
Hearst News Service.

Fort Worth, Tex, September IL
Delegates from all over the South
and from many central and western
states, representing over million
American farmers, are today gathering
in Fort Worth for the national con-
vention of the largest and most power
full organizations of agricultural inter-
ests in the worlds history. The Farm
ers Educational and COOPERATIVE
Union. familiarly known as the farm
ers' union was originally organized
to maintain fair price for the South's
cotton crop. but the present convention
finds it truly national body, with all
classes of farmers represented. 1t is
likely that Charles Barrett, of Geor-
gia, under whose guiding hand the
union has made its great strides in
the past will be reelected as national
president.
The union is organized on entirely
different lines from any organization
of farmers ever got together. Instead
of trying to force down the price of
goods they purchase except so far as
to cut off the profits of middlemen,
their principal purpose is to get bet
ter prices for the products of the
farm. They have also formed an
alliance with the labor organizations
of the various states and of the
American Federation of Labor.
The union is especially strong in
the South and West, although thou
sands of farmers in the Northwest
are joining the organization daily.
AS a business organization it has
overturned the old order of things as
advanced by the Grange and Farmers
Alliance. 1t believes that the better
the wages paid workingmen the high
err prices the latter can pay for farm
products-and more will be consum
ed. Hence, under the principle o
business they attempt to bring int
force, the farmer and worker arr
brought together in material inter
est instead of being forced apart.
This is the first organization in tn
history of the farm that has stood b
organized labor and joined with it i
the effort to benefit the condition c
all labor. Its members teach that tn
interests of the farmer and worke
are indentical.
The principal business of the Farm
ers' Union is to make prices for tn
products of the farm. In 1904, whe
the largest cotton crop in the histoI
of the world was produced, and II
price was sent down to > cents
pound at interior points, the Tex
farmers showed what they could
through organization. They he
their cotton until the price was for
ed back to 10 cents a pound. TIL
at that time was regarded as Il
greatest industrial victory ever gal
ed by an organization of this cha
acter Since then in annual conve
ton they have fixed the minimu
price at which members would-al
they always got it-sell cotton. T
fore that spectators fixed the priC

RETIRE CERTIFICATES.
[special to The SentineI. ]

Washington, Nov. 20.-In accord
ance with the announcement of Sec
retary Cortelyou. the one-year per
cent treasury certificates will mature
and cease to bear interest tomorrow.
National banks desiring to main
tain their circulation secured by those
certificates must furnish other United
States bonds not later than tomor-
row. National banks may retire their
circulation by authorizing the re-
demption of the certificates and the
application of so much of the pro-
ceeds as may be necessary to the re-
tirement of circulation based thereon,
1t is understood that this action
does not involve any immediate call
on national banks for the return to
the treasury of any part of their
present holdings of government de-
posits. Owing to the redundancy of
currency. many of the banks now
having treasury certificates on de-
posit to secure circulation will retire
so much of their circulation as is
thus secured This will relieve the
secretary from the necessity of pay
ing out any considerable sum of
money at this time.
