The new Colorado law providing
that the campaign expenses of politi-
cal parties shall be paid out of the
State treasury is happily limited to
Is cents for each vote cast by a party
at the proceeding election. That is to
say, if the Democrats cast 100000
votes, they may spend of the States
fund in electing their next ticket to
more than $25, 700. But the law still
permits candidates to contribute out
of their abundance, while inhibiting
contributions from others. Ii there
is no limit fixed to the amount candi-
dates may spend and there appears
to be none--the rich men are given
special political opportunities, in
asmuch as the law would tempt party
managers to nominate men with I'M
limited means. No such legislation
is worth while, unless the State as
sumes the entire burden of campaign
expenditure, and limits it vigorously
to methods purely educational for the
voters.

The county Of Meyer was stricken
from the map of South Dakota by the
last legislature and in it's stead we
have two counties, Todd and Mel
lette. Gen. Todd was the Pioneer of
the former territory and the first dele
gate In congress. Mellette was the
last governor of the old territory and
the first governor Of the state of South
Dakota; both men of distinction who
should be rewarded by place on the
state map. Todd county was created
by the first legislature in 1862 and oc-
cnpied triangle southeast and ad-
joining Gregory county. 1t was sub
seqnently taken from Dakota territory
and added to Nebraska.

DARK AT NOON.

A total eclipse of the sun is sched-
uled to occur on June II, visible in all
portions of the United States, except
the extreme south.
The eclipse will begin in this lati-
tude about G:1O in the morning and
will continue until after sunset. At
the time Of the disappearance of the
sun, the eclipse will cover about one
half the area of Old Sol.
The last total eclipse of thesun was
witnessed here shortly after the close
of the civil war, in the year 1869. The
eclipse will be remembered by many
citizens who yet speak of it as a queer
experience, noticeably in the folk lore
Of the south.
The eclipse predicted for June II is
to be total and will be a reproduction
of the one in 1860. The occasion will
afford a rare experience for residents
Of South Dakota and all who ever
witnessed a total eclipse of the sun
state that they can never forget it.

form to this new plan. Des MONIES, iowa
which was one OF the pioneers Of the
plan, reported during the year that All
annual deficit of $4,000 had been con-
verted into an annual surplus OF $2OOOo'
and this alone did much to stimulate IN
terest.
AS a part of the movement for better
conditions In our cities, which have 10
aliens over into Americans. much atten-
ton was given to the critical subject or
immigra ton, exclusion and deportation
of immoral persons being one of the pro-
visions of the American immigration act.
immigration on an extensive scale was
resumed during the year. and the pres
sure for some means of restraining IT
was resumed almost simultaneously 10
meet this pressure the governmental au-
fhorities applied all possible excuses for
restriction, increasing the number of de-
oortations until many cries OF injustice
was advanced. March l federal in
sestigation committee reported that the
immigration laws we're much in need or
amendment, especially with regard to the
criminal classes. March II emphasis
seemed to be given to this contention by
the dramatic killing in Palermo. Italy. or
a lieutenant of police of New YORK. Joseph
Petrosino Petrosino had been for sew
eral years a most courageous ana daring

TO secure evidence against criminal itai-

country on the dangers involved In an I'M
restrictive immigration law. Aside from
The criminal aspect of the immigration
problem, an interesting phase developed

ton of immigrants under federal direc-
ton.
Steel Car Strike.
Something of emphasis was impaired 10
the foreign American problem by the de-
velopments among the steel industries in
Pennsylvania, where a bitter and sullen
strike among the steel car workers at
McKees Rocks involved an almost equally
bitter and sullen conflict between races
At one time the Americans at Mckees
Rocks marched back to work independ-
entity of the foreigners: and again Secre-
tary Morrison of the American Federation
of Labor declared that the whole trouble
at the mills was that the owning company
was seeking to cut down wages by taking
advantage of the fact that the majority
of the employees were newly imported
foreigners. Eventually. this strike settled
itself by popular pressure, the company
giving in 10 the men: but 1t was an in
tense and dramatic affair while 1t lasted
and contained many elements of social
disorder that created momentary appre-
tension.

PRESIDENT TAFT'S
COUNTRYWIDE TRIP

TN fact the Presidents western trip
was fruitful of an extraordinary num-
Der of legislative proposals. The Presi-
dent started across the country Septem-
Der Is from Boston, passing through
many cities en- route, reaching as far
west ard north as Seattle and returning
via San Francisco, Los Angeles, FL Paso
and the southern states. Confessedly,
this long trip was made for the express
purpose of informing the people of the
administrations legislative program.
At Wnona i'm Minnesota. President
Taft delivered the first speech that caus-
ed any popular stir. Winona is the home
of Representative James A Tawney. ana
the President awaited himself of the oc-
casion to Justify the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill ffor which Tawney had voted) and to
pronounce it one OF the best pieces or
tariff legislation in the history of the
country The speech was much criti-
c,sed, both within and without the Presi
dents party. and it served at once to
start the so-called -'inSurgents" of Con-
gress, as represented by La Toilette and
Cumnins, on an anti-tariff. anti-C annon,
anti-Aldrich propaganda.
Postal Savings Banks.
In his message sent to Congress De-
eember the President recommended the
establishment OF postal savings bank,
a nlgner rate OF postage LOT IndSdLlHcS,
simpler methods for the federal courts
to avoid the laws delays, publicity in
federal elections and a strong federal
health bureau. lie promised special mes
sages on conservation and other subjects
discussed on his western trip, urged
economy of administration, asked that no
congressional inquiry be made into the
sugar scandals. sought reorganization in
the State Department. putting the serv-
ice on a merit basis. and declared that
the administration will encourage and
countries. He also wanted pensions grant
government and declared that the work
of the recently appointed tariff board will
be of great assistance in future revision
Of the rates of duty.
But as President Taft got farther into
the west his speeches changed from po-
litical to constructive subjects, and by
the time he had reached Richmond on his
return he stated without n serve that he
would recommend to the approaching
session Of Congress the following topics
Supervision of capital stock and Of bond
issues of interstate corporations, read
justment Of the powers of the interstate
commerce commission. expansion of the
duties and powers of the bureau of cOrpO-
ratiOns. creation of an interstate COM
merce bureau in the Department of Jus.
tice, creation Of a So-called railroad

banks. amendment of the laws governing
the issuance Of injunctions. comprehensive
provisions as to conservation. waterways

District Court.

District Court convened Tuesday,

ceases tried. -
The City of Plains VS.. R. 0.
Thornberry was tried and the jury
returned verdict of guilty. This
was case where the defendant had
refused to pay occupation tax and
was arrested under city ordinance
which provides penalty for non
payment The Court assessed him
the minimum fine and costs and
told him he would recommend that
the city remit the fine. The Judge
said it was not well to avoid occupa-
,tion tax, as it was legal and all
courts upheld the same.
The case of the State VS.. Joshua
Gill, which had been tried and the
Jury was still out when we went to
press last. week, reported Friday
that they had verdict after thirty
six hours deliberation. 1t proved
to be verdict of. guilty. The de-
tense filed a motion for new trial
and Judge Finley announced that he
would return Wednesday and hear
tile same, which he did and granted
a new trial on the grounds that some
evidence had been introduced which
was improper and upon some other
grounds. 1t seems to meet with
public approval that Mr.. Gill was
;granted a<hew trial. The public
seem to have the idea that the YER
dict of conviction was unwarranted
by the evidence, at least we have
heard several say this who heard 1t.
Personally we did not hear it all.
I'VE do know that a much palmer
case Of embezzlement in this county
resulted in acquittal. The case
went over for the term and Mr.. Gill
