PRoHIB SPEAKERS BARRED.

At meeting of the Methodist min
listers of the Sioux Fails district of
the South Dakota conference, held in
Sioux Falls Nov. 20, it was decided by
unanimous vote hereafter to refuse to
allow the use of pulpits to any repre-
sentative of political party. This
means that in this district speakers
representing the prohibition party
will no longer have access to the
Methodist pulpits.
This was included in a resolution
indorsing the work of the South Da-
kota Anti Saloon league. The min
listers were inclined to the view that
the league represents more practi-
cable movement and that more can
be accomplished by working through
either of the big parties than to assist
the prohibition party plan, however
commendable may be its object. None
| OF the ministers wished to give out
the details of the action taken, but it
became known nevertheless
1t was decided further that the sec
retary should communicate with the
other four districts of the state, re-
garding the action taken. 1t was
agreed that the district should begin
now to look forward to the expected
renewal in 1910, of the attempt to
obtain the enactment of county
option law.

The Lake Preston Times offers a
suggestion in the manner of prepar-
ing the ballots for constitutional
amendments and laws submitted to
the voters which is a good idea:
The Australian ballot law is with
us TO remain until better system of
voting, probably machince, is perfect
ed, and there will be NJ going back
wards, but there is certainly a range
for improvement For instance the
election ballot fer amendments to
constitution and referendum PROPOSE
tions should be made more easily un-
derstood by such as do not study
sample ballots. How much easier it
would have been for some to vote up
on these questions in the recent cleo
tion if the square for crossing the will
of the voter had been provided in
front of the words, For County OPP
ton" and Against County Option"
and the same way with the proposed
increase in the salary of the attorney
general, the Sunday observance, the
revenue law and other questions.

GEORGE w. EGAN handed the su.
preme court few nice ones in his
lectures after he was dsbarred, but
the court had the last move and it
hands Egan one in its decision in the
Kaufman case that would lake the
wind out of most men. 1t reads as
follows:
Clearly says the court, this is
not the case of thoughtful conscien-
tious advocate prompted alone by a
desire to have the truth established
who inadvertently passes beyond the
limits of legitimate argument in one
or few excusable instances. 1t is
one wherein from the beginning to
the close of the trial an egotistical,
ambitious actor sought popular APP
plause and the personal renown re
gardless of consequences to any one
except himself"

lican party in the last campaign.
We trust that the expressions SO
far published do not represent the
prevailing spirit of the republican
party. Asolemn pledge has been Civ
en- to the American people. 1t was
made in the national republican plat.
form, and was constantly reiterated
during the campaign. The American
people expect revision of the tariff.
They expect that the makers of trust
goods shall be cut out. They expect
a gradual revision downward. They
expect congress to be on the square.
A failure to meet this demand of
public sentiment and to keep the
pledges of the party in the campaign
just ended will defeat the party later,
and it ought to.
Tariff revision is always a touchy
matter. The tariff is local issue,
and the making of the schedules is
essentially selfish struggle. Those
who want the big end of things are
on the ground with skilled attorneys,
and those who are only looking for
congress to do the right thing are
not represented. This puts upon con-
gress a solemn obligation an obliga-
tion to look after the man who has
no AK to grind.
If the next congress falls into the
hands of the standpatters, and if the
pledge of honest and thorough tar
iff revision is broken and if only
those are recognized who have lob
by on the ground, the protest of the
country will be prompt and effective.
The incoming president evidently has
a big fight on his hands to give to
the country the kind of revision which
is expected, and those who know him,
and know what sort of fighter he is,
will need have no doubt about the
outcome. Argus Leader.

A NEW SWINDLE.

At the present time there are swind

Dakota who part an unsuspecting
farmer from his money by represent

to send stranger about his business

ABOUT TARIFF REVISION

Hints are being dropped here and
there that many of the leaders, of
congress 'do not anticipate" any
material change" in the tariff. Those
hints come from Senator Aldrich, who
has got to be the dean of the senate
from Senator Hale, who is reputed to
be factor, and from other high re-
publican sources. In fact, Speaker
Cannon has limited that not great
deal will be done, and already the
impression is going out that it will
be hard to keep the promise made
to the country by the last republican
national platform, and by William FL.
Taft, as the candidate Of the repub-

CLIMBING THE. FAMILY TREE.

unfortunately curious as to where we

Has railroad company any special

The South Dakota Central runs re-

state that the railroad did not take

The Minneapolis Journal has it
figured out that the option movement
has been given check in Minnesota
and Ohio. In our neighbor state the
optionists are weaker in the legisla-
ture than two years ago. But Ohio is
where the greatest setback appears.
1t was in Ohio that the Anti. Saloon
movement had its inception. The
league, which was powerful enough
four years ago to defeat Governor
Herrick, who had disappointed the
temperance sentiment of the state,
this year was powerless to accomplish
the defeat of Judge Harmon. who is
looked upon as the enemy of option,
and who was denounced from one end
of the state to the other by anti
saloon orators. The returns from
Ohio show remarkably discriminat-
ing voting. Taft carried the state by
about 75,OO0, but the republican
candidate for governor. WHO was
supported mainly by the temperance
element, lost by $1,000 The repub-
lican candidate for treasurer, against
whom charges of mismanagement had
been made, lost by 5000 The defeat
of Governor Harris was a defeat of
extreme temperance. But too much
is expected by the promoters of the
movement everywhere. 1t is not
within reason to expect to wipe out
an institution such as the liquor habit
and the financial interests connected
with it all in year or two, or within
a generation, for that matter. 1t must
be remembered that millions are in
vested in it's manufacture, and that
the owners of brewery and distillery
stock are entrenched in high places,
not even excepting the church in
some instances, as witness Mr.. Rock

regard Morrow as positive damage
to the cause, as evidenced by the fact
that one of the district associations Of
the M. +. church in this state has
passed resolutions barring Morrow
from their pulpits, a privilege hereto
fore extended and greedily accepted
by him. This will cut off large
source of revenue for it was rich pick

it was then three feet above the soil.
The willow posts, instead of being
dead, were very much alive, and We're
getting ambitious. In their upward
move they carried the barn along.
Last year the barn was on stills nine
feet high, and the farmer put in a
new floor and surrounded the posts
with siding, thereby making two
story affair. There is now a space of
nine inches between the floor and the
ground, and the owner expects to
have three story barn in the course
of time.

A REASONABLE" profit to the manu-
facturers may mean almost any per
cent, they choose to name. Some
who have appeared before the com
mittee now in session at Washington
have insisted that tariff protection
was necessary to make them "rea
sonable" profit, and at the same sit
ting have admitted that they sold
goods abroad at less price than at
home. When asked for a reason the
manufactures had none to offer but a
member of the committee obligingly
stated that the manufacturer had to
do it to dispose of his surplus. 1t is
evident that if the testimony taken,
and the wish of some of the com,
mittee, is to govern, the consumers
would have little to hope for in the
revision to be made. But congress
knows that something must be done,
and that the people will hold that
body accountable, which may insure
revision along the lines of justice.

We always knew that South Dakota

at the corners and along the sides.
After year had passed he saw that
