COTTON MEN MEET IN sosToN.
President in His Annual Address
Comments on Atlanta Conference.

< Boston, April 16.--Cotton manu-
facturers and persons connected with
allied Industries from ali parts uf
the United States were in attendance
to-day at the eighty-fourth annual
meeting of the National Association
of Cotton Manufacturers.
President VIM. d. Hartsshorne, OF
Lawrence, Mass, called the conven-
tion to order, ard Acting Governor
Draper welcomed the members of
the association to the State.
President Hartsshorne addressed
the convention in part as follows:
One of the most important events
In the past six months which our
panic condition unduly overshadow !.
ed was the Atlanta conference. 1t
was earnestly believed by those who
took part in this conference that It
was an epoch-making event. The
meeting together face to face of RI
val interests and the formulating of
resolutions covers SO many details
in regard to the cotton industry and
the trade relations governing the
same, where 1t was necessary for alb
solute unanimity to carry any reso-
httnn: was noteworthy achieve
ment.
Manufacturers from the United
States, many from across the water
and representatives from the cotton
exchanges met the planter upon his
own ground, and 1t is to the credit
of the planter that he acknowledged
without cavil the handicap which
faulty methods had placed upon the
cotton growing industry and which
was reflected back against MIN by
the seriors results to the cotton
srinners. Some Of the methods Of
the Cotton Exchange received the
strongest condemnation O: both srin-
ner and planter, but against efforts
to legislate exchanges out Of exist
ence wiser counsel prevailed
''It is to be regretted that the mat
ter of permanent organization has so
far hung fire, only few of the as
sociations represented u, having an
pointed delegates. The first setback
came from the British Master Cot
ton Spinners' Association, branch
of the International Federation. who
claimed that to multiply organiza-
tions would not be Of benefit to the
industry, their Efforts being confilied
TO endeavors to unite our manufac-
turing industries on this side of the
water with the International Fedora
tion. Thic would seem practically
impossible of attainment, even in q
very limited way. Not all the inter
ests of our manufacturers are by
any means identical with those of
our European friends, and-it would
seem that the only kind Of unity of
interest would be such as could be
represented in periodical confer
ences. which It was the object of the
permanent organization to foster and
maintain. Possibly this matter may
be taken up more advisedly at the
European conference at Paris, which
meets June next, and to which our
association has appointed FIVE dele
gates whom we turst will be able to
return to us with valuable fnforma-

the most popular features of the FAIR.
One very noticeable feature is the
fact that on the first floor of the

can be said of few store rooms as

agement found that more space was
needed and as it had been originally
planned to use large portion of the
basement for some of the depart

getting an extensive section of the
basement in shape was started. A few
days ago everything was in readiness
ana within space of a comparatively
few hours the big room under the
first floor was converted into a love-

room equal in beauty and modern

NED CHIEFLY
IS IN TOWN

Ned Cheeley the crack football
man and ring artist came in on No )
last night. Mr.. Cheeley if not the
best football player in the state is
second to Nortenholdt of the Mines.
He was the backbone of the Aggie
team last year and with a team of
his equals would have made the
Miners get down and scratch to land
the pennant. Cheeley not only holds
the distinction of being one of the
best football men in the west but,
while in the navy held the undisputed
title of boxing champion of the North
Atlantic Squadron.
The past four months Mr.. Cheeley
has been attending the summer term
of the Washington University locat-
ed at Pullman, Wash, and already
has been notified that he has made
the position of half back on the uni
versity team. In this position he
VIII line up against some of the best
players in the United States Wash
ington University has games sched-
uled with such schools and colleges
as st. Louis University, Pennsylvania
University and the Carlisle Indians.
Ned is well known in this city hav-
ing at one time attended the public
school here. After leaving here he
enlisted in the navy and at the end
of his enlistment he enrolled in the
Agricultural College at FIT. Collins.
For some time it has been rum
ored that he expected to> return to
the college but this morning ne cor
rected the rumor stating that he
would either go to Washington Uni
versity or TO Dartmouth
In talking about football prospects
In this state this year he said 1.-The
big fight will be between Colorado
College and the Mines but its almost
impossible to beat those Miners. AS
soon as one good player quits they
get another one to take his place No
matter how hard you hit their line
you go straight up in the air."
If Mr.. Cheeley decides to go to
Dartmouth he will go in company
with Red" Hartman of the Mines
Cheeley and Hartman are a host in
themselves and are a valuable acqui-
sition to any team.

EPIGRAMS.

From Memorial Sermon, May oath, 1908,
by Rev. II. Preston.
We have sometimes wished that the
colors borne triumphantly in many a
conflict by our soldiers could be hung
n our churches and school-houses, re-
minding succeeding generations of
former struggles, and the cost of our
liberty.
There is close connection between
our religion and our republic. our
piety and our patriotism, our faith
aud our freedom.
When we forget our ecclesiastical
buildings, when they are neglected
and allowed to decay, it is sign of
declining piety; when we fail to indi-
cate in some national way that we
remember the heroic deeds of our
soldiers, patriotism is indeed at low
ebb.
All that our old lighters have done,
surely will not be forgotten by us,
and we will rejoice in every opportun-
ity afforded to honor heroic times and
to inquire afresh into their grandeur
and significance.
In those days new spirit possess
ed the land There was mighty
stirring in town and hamlet, in city
and village, the fife and drum awoke
the echoes of day and night.
Groups of men were formed, these
grew into Companies, and these into
regiments, then all were massed to-
gether into an exceeding great army.
The Grand Army of the Republic
came into view and made history.
Is not secession yet in the air, when
large city will debate the advisabil-
! ity Of obeying the laws Of the state,

In order to get around the increas-
ed state expense without an increased
tax levy the Crawford administration
has sent out instructions for assessors
to increase the assessment of farm
lands about one dollar per acre. =
Lake Preston Times, and others
The Crawford administration has
done nothing of the kind, which is as
well known to the Times as to others
The various county auditors of the
state met at Pierre about two months
ago, as has been customary for sever.
al years, to talk over the assessment
for 1908. This meeting is provided
for by law for the purpose of assisting
in securing a more equal and just
assessment as between the various
counties. Whatever was done in the
way of raising valuations in certain
counties and lowering in others was
done by the auditors by majority vote.
The stalwart auditor from Brookings
county, Mr.. Murphy, was one of the
leaders in the movement for a raise in
certain parts of the state, and we be-
Iieve he was justified by existing con-
ditions. The Crawford state admins
tration had nothing to do in the mat
ter. But the false statement of the
stalwart press in this regard is simply
on par with many others from the
same source, and is only a part of
their continuous attempts at decep-
ton throughout the entire campaign

KITTREDGE says it is true that the
railroads were assessed higher in
1907 than in previous years and they
ought to be for they are worth more.
O.! Yes, they ought to be. But the
stalwart board did not raise the as
sessment at all during the eight years
of prosperity while Kit was in abso.
lutte control and all the time rail
road values were increasing year by
year And then he shed a tear be-
cause the valuation of farm lands was
raised a few cents an acre in 1907.
We suppose Kit thinks that South
Dakota farm lands have not increas-
ed in value. He probably thinks inn
proved farms are selling for from $40
to SIS per acre.

One of the unexplained and unrea-

prohibition party ticket this fall pro
pose to vote for Crawford and his

We have heard of none such, and
we believe the statement above TO be
false. The democratic and prohibi
