The reason why the manufacturer

In fact his interest is. or ought to be,
of a direct personal kind for the re-
suits of the policy adopted toward the
national %esourCe will affect no one
more Immediately or more forcibly.
Coal. iron, wood, oil. the products of
the soil. these are the things he must
have to carry on his business. Let the
present waSteful process go on TO the
end pointed gut by our scientists and
experts and the factory chimneys will
cease to smoke and the work shops
will close for the lack OF material.
What this would mean TO Americas
prosperity and place III the world
and incidentally to her manufacturers,
it needs no imagination 20 see. His
own business interest, to say nothing
of his interest as a patriotic citizen,
are thus enough to make the question
of conserving the national resources
one of the questions in which every
foresighted business man-and that
means every member of the National
Association of Manufacturers, as a
matter of courSe-must take the
"livliest possible interest.-Americar

matter was placed before them TO IL
lustrate what the stalwarts We're at
tempting to do and what shape they
would be in if they did so lend aid
to the lost cause of the stalwarts.
this advise was of a friendly nature
and no offense was taken by the par
ties approached. But how about the
high handed methods used by the stall
warts TO pull Bob White out of the
race after he had advertised for sew
eral weeks in all the county papers
as a candidate for county treasurer
and had his petition ready for filing!
How about the treachery used by the
stalwarts to pull Fred Celtschi out OF

had spent S1S0-several weeks OF his
time-advertised in the papers and
had his petition in the hands OF the
county auditor ready for filing?

The old saying is true. that figures
will not lie but liars will figure.
The state taxes for Moody county
were:
Elrod Elrod Crawford Irvine Plant
in 1905 1906 1907 1907
$19,534 $9.745 $16,277 $6,1S2
In making comparisons on taxes
odd numbered years should be made
with odd years, and eve with even.
Since statehood a deficiency levy OF
two mills was made until 1907. when
il was fixed at one mill. The sessions
of the legislature and deficiency
levies occur in the odd numbered
years of each biennial period. The
even numbered years are the ones in
which there are no sessions Of the
legislature and the expenses of the
state are always at a low ebb. If you
wish to make a comparison of your
taxes you should compare 1907 with
1905 or 1903. Now for instance com
pare 1905 with 1907 Elrod's with
Crawford's. The state "a which
Moody county raised in 1905 was
$19.534; in 1907, $16,277. or s3,264
less in favor Of Crawford's admins
tration. The twine plant tax is $6,7S2
Then look at your tax receipts fol
1903 and compare with 1908 and YOU
will hnd a similar difference in favor

Last week the -Brookings Press
whined out that certain Progressive

Does anyone believe that it would
now be necessary for Senator Kit
redgc to defend his attitude regard
ing important legislation in the t. :.
Senate if he had been acting III har,
mony with President Roosevelt?
There is scarcely a Republican in
South Dakota who did not at the time
criticised Mr.. Kitredgc for his silence
toward the railroad rate regulation
measure as proposed by President
Roosevelt and which afterwards pas
sed. The Senator's long silence and
seeming indifference caused a CORES
pendent to ask him what his opinion
was of the measure and he gave the
correspondent to understand that he
had nothing for publication. If at
thai time Mr.. Kittredge had been in
favor of railway rate regulation would
ne not have gladly given the desired
information? by his silence upon the
subject, which was of so much inn
which the President demanded should
be passed his answer could not have
been taken otherwise than that he
was opposed to the measure. i'm
fact he only declared himself after he
found that the measure would pass
anyway regardless OF as attitude
OF what use to the people is such a
representative who either does not
have an opinion or is silently working
with corporate interests.

Odd North German Custom.

In northern Germany a familiar fig
ure of the rural districts is quaint
old gentleman whose hat is very much
decorated with flowers and particol-
ored ribbons and who carries staff
to the top of which is tied huge
bunch of real or artificial flowers knot
ted to 1t by long streamers of similar
ribbons. According to the district, his
costume also is old fashioned and un-
usual III other ways. He is the "hoch-
zeitbitter,' or person employed among
the country folk to go from house to
house and invite guests to attend u
wedding. He delivers himself of set
speech in an old "Platt Deutsch"
rhyme when he arrives at each place,
accompanying it with wagging of the
head and stamping of the staff, and Is
generally in rather jovial condition
by the time his days labors are ended.

CURES FOR LOVE. l
sases and Writers With Widely Diff
L. ferinu Presentations.

Absence is one of the means Of curing
love. Two thousand years ago Ovid
advised his readers who wished to;
cure themselves. Of an unlucky attach
ment to flee the capital, to travel, hunt
or till the soil. H
Love-" said Coleridge, sis a local
anguish. am fifty miles away and
not half so miserable"
But other men have found that alb
sence increases love. La Rochefoucauld
probably hit upon the truth when he
said that absence destroys weak pas.
sions, but increases strong ones, as the
wind extinguishes a candle, but blows
up fire." If the love is all fancy and
has little strength it may be cured by
personal contact with the object. But
the safer plan perhaps is to keep out
Of the way; hence travel is Q good ex-
pedient. Business perhaps is better
one. Ovid said, "If you desire to end
your love employ yourself and you will
conquer, for love fees business"
Still another expedient is reflection
upon the unhappiness of married life.
A man in search of this view can find
it everywhere. Addison said that
"beauty soon grows familiar to the
lover, fades in his eye and pals upon
the sense" and Hazlitt that, Though
familiarity may not breed contempt, it
takes the edge off admiration"
Goethe said, with most marriage it
does not take long for things to assume
q very piteous look" But none of these
men married happily. Goldsmith said,
MANY Of the English marry in order
to have one happy month in their
lives" and Colley Cibber, "Oh, how
many torments lie in the small circle
Of wedding ringv'
But undoubtedly the best way to get
rid of one love is to have another
"All love may be expelled by love as
poisons are by other poisons," says
Dryden. Heine says: 'The most effec-
tive antidote to woman is woman. In
such a case the medicine is often more
noxious than the malady, but it is at
any rate a change, and in disconso-
late love affair a change in the inamo-
rata is unquestionably the best policy"

TOMB OF THE MINes.

IL Is a Risky Place For Traveller to
Visit Alone.
Every traveller in China goes to the
tomb of the Mings if he stays more
than a few days in Shanghai. The
Chinese consider the Mings the great
est rulers of the ancient kingdom, and
they rank second only to Confucius.
The tomb is composed of two colossal
figures facing each other and elabo-
rately carved in the style affected by
Chinese artists centuries ago. Seen in
Central park or Versailles they would
look grotesque enough, but standing as
they do among bleak and lonely hills,
outlined against the clear blue oriental
sky, they have rude grandeur and
imposing simplicity which make them
seem ft guardians Of imperial dust.
It is not an easy journey the tourist
must take If he wishes to pay his re-
spects to the stone giants, nor Is 1t
trip advisable for a woman to under
take, as it lies through region where
hatred of the white devils" is consid-
cred as much part of the Chinaman's
religion as the worship Of his ances-
tors. A donkey and a guide are neces-
sary, and 1t is also wise to get party
of sightseers together for the excur-
sion if possible and to go we'll armed,
for once foolhardy traveller started
forth alone from the hotel on the Bub-
bling Well road, Shanghai, to visit the
tomb Of the Mings, and he was never
heard of again. There are many places
in the purlieus of Shanghai even where
it is imprudent for white man to ven
ture alone in broad daylight. An ex-
ira donkey is also needed to carry pro-
visions as well as the cameras, for
most tourists want picture Of the
towering images which have so sue
cessfully withstood the wear Of the
centuries.-New York Press.

Gaping THE WIGS.
Official Visit Of London's Lord Mayor
to the Law Courts.

Official Visit of London's Lord Mayor
to the Law Courts.
A curious survival Of medieval GUS
tom is witnessed in London on every
lord mayors day. This is an official
visit Of the lord mayor to the law
courts. In old times the sovereign
himself awaited at Westminster the
coming Of the lord mayor in chariot
of state with sword bearer, mace hold
er, chaplain and gorgeously liveried
coachmen and .footmen. The forms
have been changed, and the visit is
now paid to the high court, but the
spirit of the act remains, for the lord
mayor opens his term in the Mansion
House with a ceremonial involving rec
ognition Of the supreme authority Of
the crown.
The instrument used for expressing
this traditional idea is an old fash
ioned cooked hat. When the lord may
or in his splendid robes Of Office en-
ters the high court with his retinue In
costume he solemnly lifts his cooked
hat three times from his head and sa-
lutes the lord chief justice and the
justices.
The judges always wear robes and
wigs when in court. For lord mayors
day they have also a fiat Black cap,
which can be slipped over the top Of
the wig. The lord chief justice and his
associates return the lord mayors sa-
lutte grayely, but do not take off their
black caps. If they were to do this,
they would place the crown on a level
Of equality with the municipality.
The lord mayor, with his retinue,
then visits the judges in other courts
to invite them to the Guildhall ban
| quet. When the rustling noise of the
procession is heard each judge fumbles
in drawer, pulls out a little square
Of black cloth and crowns his wig
with It. The lord mayor takes of his
three cornered hat three times, and the
justice on the bench bows, but remains
covered. New York Tribune.

More oratory Wanted.

The remark made on prolix Scotch
counsel when some one observed that
he was ''surely wasting great deal Of
time is among the wittiest Of bar an
ecdotes: Time! He has long exhaust
ed time and has encroached upon eter-
nifty"
1t is seldom, to do the judges justice,
that they encourage this failing in
counsel. But in Coekburn's memoirs
we are told how dull and common
place advocate was almost frightened
out Of his wits by an observation of
Lord Meadowbank, who thought his
style undignified: 'Declaim, sir. Why
don't you declaim? Speak to me as If
were popular assembly" st. James

NOT IN A HURRY.
A Royal Funeral and an Embarrassed
Bunderinq Official.

The Comtesse de Boigne's memoirs
contain an interesting account of the
departure from life of Louis XVIII,
an event which the king himself had
long been anticipating:
ssHe was great stickler for eti-
qnette and gave the most minute in
structions about his obsequies. All
the ceremonials observed at the de-
parture of the kings Of France were to
be respected, and as he had an ex-
traordinary memory he settled the
procedure down to the smallest details.
At the last the royal almoner made
mistake in reading the prayers for
those In extremis. Louis XVIII. inter-
rupted him and corrected the mistake
with presence of mind and calmness
which never left him for moment.
The family was assembled at the end
Of the room and was deeply affected.
The doctors, the attendants on duty
and the clergy were around the bed.
The first gentleman of the chamber
held the curtain. When the chief
physician gave the sign that all was
over, he let it fall and, turning around,
bowed to the princes. Monsieur left
| the room sobbing, and madame pre-
pared to follow him. Hitherto she had
always taken precedence of her hus-
band as the kings daughter. When
she reached the door, she suddenly
stopped, and through the heartfelt
tears with which her face was stream
ing she said with difficulty, Take pre-
cedence, Dauphinv He Immediately
obeyed without any hesitation or re-
mark. The first gentleman announced
the king The courtiers repeated the
king and Charles K. reached his
rooms.
