The New York Tribune, for many years the foremost advocate of high protection, appears to be dissatisfied with the Senates tariff bill. Stating that ''the political sagacity of the fin- ance committee and its followers is discredited by the fact that their work finds no approval from the public opinion which the newspapers reflect" the Tribune asks: Gan such work be expected to appeal hereafter to the vo- ters? Is the Senate right in judging public sentiment, while the newspa- pers of both parties are all wrong?'
 There is strong apprehension in Republican quarters that the radical action of the Senate will bring about the election of a Democratic House? And there are good reasons for this apprehension. The Senate is not full filling the pledge of the National Re- publican platform, nor the campaign promises of President Taft.

The N. Y. State Highway depart ment has decided that in order to pro- tect macadam roads, some type of binder for the surface coat is neces- sary, as heavy traffic turns it into dust which is blown away. It has found that bituminous binder is the best and if the county authorities consent, this type will be adopted. The cost of construction is increased. but the cost Of maintenance will, it is stated, be lessened. Drivers of automobiles and other vehicles have long noticed that the fine top dressing of macadam roads is soon reduced to dust and then blown away, leaving a very uneven surface. If a. .bituminous binder will remedy this condition, other states should not delay in following New Yorks example, not only in order to improve the roads but as a measure of economy.

Struck By Auto,


 Frank D. Lawton, Jr., hopped off a trolley car, in Norwalk, Friday after noon, and hurried around the rear end only to find himself directly in the path of T. Marshall Andrews automo- bile. Lawton was struck in the leg and hurled somewhat heavily to the brick pavement, though fortunately the machine was not travelling at a very fast pace Young Lawton's leg was quite painfully bruised, but he picked himself up and apparently was not seriously injured. He does not consider the automobilist was to blame.

New York, May 25.-Miss Rachel Bengamini. principal of the branch of the Washington Irving High School at West End avenue and Eighty-Second street, gave notice on Friday that hereafter girls who come to the school with powder and beauty spots on their faces should stand up before the class, while these supposed aids to good looks were removed with towel.
 This came as a blow to some of the pupils who had been acquiring the habit of bringing powder puffs to school with them. There were no pow der marks or beauty spots in sight yesterday.

 It is . very shrewd prediction which 1nustrates the ingenuity of the public serv1ce corporations lobbyists. They ev1dently believe that the business or wanfzations and individuals who ap- peared ct previous hearings will be- Hove 1t unnecessary to appeArs before che special committee, and that, there fore, there will be a paueity4 Of afr u1aflve appearances. Should this prove to be the fact, then the argu- xnenk that the matter is only a ''news paper sensation. will be pushed to the limits

There is not an is Z which reaches a greater number of the people, nor one on which public sentiment is so united Opponents of public utilities commission are almost wholly limited to stockholders in the interested corporations and such others as can be influenced by : them.
 The corporations lobbyists are searching high and low for arguments to be used in stiffening the, backs of the special committee which is so closely divided between advocates and opponents ofza public utilities com mission that the balance of power rests with two men who have lodged previous votes upon the matter. If these men can be reached by ingen- ious arguments, like the sunfounded one as to "a newspaper sensation it win be undertaken, not however, with any purpose of preventing the presen- tation of a measure but with a. plan Of it's construction in such manner as will deprive it of value to the people that is. the patrons-too often the vic tims- -o6 public service corporations.

Wolves Attack Cattle.

Van Metre, March "A traveller
who passed through this place on
his way from Stanley county Witness
an unusual and peculiar sight
while travelling along the highway
in the vicinity OF the ranch of John
Rea. He was surprised to see quite
a large herd of cattle come dashing
over the hill at top speed. AS no
other human being but himself was
in sight his curiosity vas aroused as
to why the animals We're so alarmed.
The mystery was not solved until
the last of the herd passed in proNim-
ity to him when he discovered that a
big gray wolf had a death-like grip
on the tail of the last animal in the
bunch. Close behind the wolf We're
two other wolves of the same species,
who doubtless We're eagerly awaiting
the pulling down of the steer so the
three wolves could devour it. AS tie
traveller was unarmed he vas unable
to drive the wolves away from Their
intended prey.

NOT IxJuRe DRY TOWNS
Emergency Law Passed Concerning
Issuing Licenses in Township
Adjoining Dry Towns.

a bill was introduced in the SEN
ate at Pierre concerning the question
of issuing licenses in townships that
are in close proximity to dry towns.
The necessity for this bill arose over
the effort made in this county to Sc
cure a vote on the license question
in Mitchell township, the lines of
which are close in to the city of
Mitchell, where dry conditions exist.
The bill prevented the issuing of
licenses to saloons within a radius
of two and one-half miles of a dry
town, and the emergency clause was
attached. When the bill reached
the house Wednesday it was passed
with the emergency clause still hold
ing good. The bill, was, we under
stand, drawn in this city and sent to
Pierre for passage to avoid any UNI
pleasant conditions to which the city
a not entitled by reason of the pro-
hibition of saloons. The license
was defeated in Mitchell
township, reversing the vote of last
fall when county option was defeated
in that township.
One factor that entered very large
ly into the defeat of the license ques-
ton in that township was of the lack
of police regulations. 1t was evident
as, 81, - $500 =. +, --- ..
and so close to Mitchell that 90 per
cent of the patronage would come
from the town, and without police
protection that the chances We're that
conditions would become very bad
in the course of time.

Real Self-Possession

and were Immediately put down as a
bridal pair. But they were remark
ably self-possest, and behaved with
such sang-froid that the other pas
sengers began to doubt if their first
surmise was correct after all.

the young man rose to remove his
o%vercoat, and a shower of rice fell,
while the passengers smiled broadly.
But ever that did not affect the
youth, Who also smiled, and, turning
to his partner, remarked audibly.

ADJOURNED At NOON
Legislative Session Closed at Noon,
and Was Several Hours Ahead
of t Ii Sessions.

South Dakota's legislature finished
up its work several hours ahead of
any other legislative session that we
can remember, when it adjourned at
the noon hour Friday. Practically all
OF the important bills We're finished
mp Thursday afternoon at a late hour
and the evening session of the house
was devoted to matters of a hilarious
nature. a Norwegian member was
called to the chair and delivered an
address in his native tongue; then
a German member was invited to
preside over the deliberations of the
house he also made a speech in
his language that t~hree-fourths of the
members did not understand and they
could not discover whether the mem
Der was getting even for some of the
bills that he might have introduced
and were killed. Frank Trumbo of
| Wagner, II of the popular members
of the house, and one of the hard
workers, al called to the chair by
common consent of the house mem
beers and he proceeded to give forth
some sentiments in the Indian
tongue. He hadn't proceeded far
when the members commenced TO
call for his retirement, and a motion
was passed unanimously TO lay Mr..
Trumbo On the table. 1t carried and
a number of the members rushed
to the speakers stand and laid TIE
body of Mr., Trumbo on the table.
That was not sufficient so the motion
was reconsidered and another passed
to make it a permanent layout on the
table. Ropes We're secured and Trum-
bo was bound to the table for time
and eternity-until ome friends re-
leased him.
Adjournment was taken at noon
to permit as many of the members to
get away from Pierre on the after
noon train as possible. The mem
bers living in the southern part of
the state and south of Wolsey will
not be able to get home until to-
morrow.
