YESTERDAYS RESULTS.


il was rather discouraglng to have
the rain man butt in yesterday after
noon and just stay on the job long
enough to prevent the Marion and
Lima game at time when the Dig
gers are going mighty good and want
all the opportunities possible to win.
But today there will be double
header. with the weather permitting
and Diggers will have an opportunity
TO hook a pair from the Lima leaders,
Now. IL Is not exactly safe to hang
too many hopes on the Diggers' ability
TO take two i'm day from such a
club as Lima, but at that, they will
he in there trying and at least should
get one. IL the locals get the first
one. keep your eyes peeled for vic
tory In the second.
Even If it is possible to play off
postponed game today, the clubs
still have another one which will be
played when Lima comes here in Aug
ust
Today Hancock, Zmich and Lewis
are the Digger pitchers who are ready
to work. Hancock will probably work
the first game and then either Zmich
or Lewis will pitch the second one.
Miller and Munk will be the Lima
selections, according to the dope
handed out by Manager Fohl.

Tomorrow the Portsmouth club will
be along this way for the first time in
a long while. Marion was not very
successful with Portsmouth on the
last trip, but the Diggers look lot
better now than they did at that time
and Portsmouth will be given run
for the money from start to finish. on
Sunday there will be doubleheadcr
at the yard the management deciding
to play off the one postponed game
. the club has with Portsmouth on d
day when the greatest number might
take advantage of the bargain day
rates. The contest will begin at two
O'Clock and one admission is good for
both games.
With Marion going up the ladder
and making strong bid to overhaul
the Mansfield club and land in the
first division, crowds from this time
forth will be larger than at any time
this season. As most of the games for
the next two weeks are on the local
lot, fans should turn out en- massc
every day and help along the Diggers
TO victory. The athletes are trying now
as they never have before and they
are getting a better break of the base
bah luck,
AS is constituted today the team is
stronger than at amy time this season.
Every one of the pitchers is going
, good and the club is hitting better
than at any time during the past two
months.
There Is no reason why Marion can
not crawl higher. Nothing like sup
port at home will help more than u
little.

MR.. RICHARDS FOR THREE
PRESIDENTS.

The Civic Federation at Huron be-
longs to Mr. r. o. Richards and that
is why the following comment from
the Denver Post upon his scheme for
the election of three presidents for the
United States is Of interest to South
Dakota at time when he is advocat-
ing the establishment by law of twelve
bosses to distribute all political spoils,
says the Sioux Falls Press:
Amongst the many petitions pre-
sented to congress, one of recent date
stands out in all the solitude of orig
inal genius. And it should give that
luster to previously unknown place
that the victories of Mr.. Nelson gave
to modest Hegewisch. There is a
Civic Federation in Huron, S. D., and
its members, instead of squandering
their mental gifts in frustrating organ
lied labor, have occupied their seclu-
sion in considerating grave, national
problems Secure from the com
plexitles Of more crowded minds, they
have discerned ip moment of inspir-
ed vision the cause of all our troubles,
and, on their behalf, Representative
Sulzer of New York presented their
alleviating prayer to congress. Its
objective was simple and direct. Ii
called merely for an amendment OF
the constitution providing for the
election of THREE presidents one
from the south, one from the west
and one from the central part of the
United States. To avoid jealousy

A SPECIAL agent named Davis, of
the department of labor and COM
merce, has made tour of Europe and
brings home the astounding informa-
ton that what he terms the wheat
''corner" has decreased our export
business in wheat and -four. He says:
II confidently believe if wheat
speculation had let the market alone,
we should have exported at least q
100000 barrels more of flour to Great
Britain and Europe on the current
crop than the figures will now be able
to show. Dealers everywhere We're
turning their attention to America
influenced somewhat by the work
done to regain their trade, and they
were finding that the improved quality
of our product and better shipping
service was telling in their favor
Then in October the corner began to
develop and the trade was turned
aside. The price of bread and the
distressed financial condition on this
side did not justify in the minds ol
the buyers any faith in higher prices
The result is home mills on this side
have done more business than usua
and importers less"
Wonderful After only such a small
outlay Of time and money as a tour oi
Europe necessitates, this man Davis is
able to tell us that the high price our
farmers received for their wheat from
October to the present time has pre-
vented export business. The same
information could have been obtain
ed inside of ten minutes any day dur
ing that time by reading the marke'

THROUGH its senator, Aldrich, the
state of Rhode Island, not much
larger than Kingsbury county, seems
to be debating the tariff policy of
this country. There is no other nation
on earth in which the citizens enjoy
so much freedom and have so much
to say as to the policy and laws of
their country as here in the United
States, and there is no other nation
on earth in which representative of
so small an interest could exert such
an influence, and where the people
possessing such privileges and powers
will stand for SO much flimha ming.
But indications point to the present
monkeying with the tariff as the be-
ginning of the eud. Even the worm
will turn, and the people are taking
more interest in, and Watching more
closely, the actions of congress in at
tempting to revise the tariff upward
than ever before. Here in the north
west it will have but little effect upon
the next congressional election for
most of our congressman stand with
the people, but in some of the local
tiles it will mean the election of
democrats to take the seats of repuS-
licans, and will very likely result in a
democratic house.

The stalwart theory for distribution
of political patronage is to keep all
they have for themselves and then
howl for share of that which is con

sickening part of it is, that there are
some progressives mellow enough to
listen to the howl, says the Highmore

IT seems that congress is bound to
protect the sugar trust. 1t is to be
accomplished through the thin guise
of protecting the sugar beet grower.
There are twenty one factories con-
verting sugar beets into sugar. OF
these sixteen are in Michigan, four in
Wisconsin, and one in Minnesota, and
the total wholesale value of their pro-
duct last year was $43,037, ,4SS.64. A
Washington correspondent figures
that under the tariff every human
being in this country is made to pay
Sl.65 extra rake-off to the sugar trust,
or $l41, ,793, $50 so, being more than
three times the total value of the pro-
duct of the sugar beet industry con-
gress is so anxious to protect. The
country coul2 afford to pension the
sugar beet grower, if he would agree
not to raise a pound of beets, and
still be more than dollar ahead each
year for every human being in the
country. Congress may think they
are going to fool the people, but such
work is too coarse.

PRAISE FOR SOUTH DAKOTA
SENATORS.

New York World: No stranger pro-
test has come from any state against
excessive taxation through the tariff
than that made by the Senators from
Iowa, which has cast its electoral vote
for the republican ticket ever since
there was republican party.
Messrs. Cummins and Dolliver are
not dissidents, like Mr.. LaFollette.
They have given proofs of regularity"
Mr.. nolliver, as favorite platform
orator, has always defended protec-
tion as a principle. Mr. Cummins
rose to prominence by championing
the ''Iowa idea" of lower tariffs. but
as the presidential election approach
ed he loyalty moderated his tone,
trusting to assurances that this time
the tariff would really be revised by
its friends"
The Iowa Senators are not alone in
their attitude, though honorably
prominent in public utterance. Both
Senators from South Dakota and both
from Minnesota are dissatisfied with
bunco revision. Mr.. Bristow, of
Kansas, who was elected because he
was progressive; Mr.. Burton, of
Ohio. than whom no Senator stands
higher in public esteem; Mr.. Bever-
idge, Mr.. Borah, Mr.. Burkett and
Others represent great belt of west
ern republican states which demand
a reversal of the policy of increasing
public taxation for private profit.
These men represent more than
their region. They stand for the
rank and file of their party through
out the country. And, SO long as
some democrats would give the re-
publicans rope enough to hang them
selves and other democrats will trade
their votes for local advantage, these
men also represent better than its
own nominal leaders thu true demo
cracy.
On the outrage and consistency Of
such men is the best hope of improv-
ed conditions of living for tbe av rage

peoples cause, and to the extent of
their perseverance and energy in the
contest they should receive present
commentator and future gratitude.

THE DINGLEY LAW.

Customs Receipts Prove Ii tn Have
Been Advantageous Measure.
Now that the days of the Dingley
TO review the history of the law as q
revenue raiser 1t has been denounced
by tariff-revision enthusiasts as a mar
row, prohibitive measure, but the Gus
tom house receipts give the lie to any
such story. If it had discouraged inn
portations to an unwholesome or OPP
pressive degree, 1t would have failed
to meet the revenue test, whereas. the
truth is that It has produced the most
abundant revenues the government
ever had at it's disposal, accommodating
the greatest treasury surplus on rec
ord.
The first full year after its adoption
it went into effect July 81, 1897
was 1898. The amount of duty col
lected that year was S145, 43S.3S5. Its
smallness was due to war and trade
depression. The next year. 1899, saw
a marked increase in duties, the
amount being $202,072, $50, and from
this point there was a steady progress
sion to $2S0.752, 900 in 1903. The spec
ulative and industrial reaction in 1904
reduced ethe customs receipts of that
year and 1905 to S25S $4,000 and
S25S. 426, 900. respectively; but in 1906
the upward movement resumed, culmi-
mating in receipts of 1929, 4S0,04S in
1907 and importations of no less than
S1649 in value per capita for our
whole population, as against an SS.05
capita in 1898.
The law has, therefore, been one
which. while IL protected and promot-
ed American industry, was magnifi-
Gently effective from the revenue
standpoint. Proof that it is unneceS-
sary to sacrifice the Protective quality
in order to assure Sufficient revenue
could not be more complete, nor would
this customs revenue have been so
ample if the Bingley law Protection
ism were as hidebound as some of its
Free-Trade critics have professed to
believe. Congress should take all this
into consideration in framing the
new measure.-Pittsburg Press.

In colonial days York, Maine, was
the county seat to which the Judge
and lawyers from New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, often went, and the
court sessions were attended with
much official pomp and ceremony. In
"Old Colonial Houses in Maine" EN-
ma Huntington Mason quotes from q
record left by John Adams, who. as q
young barrister. went to York in 1774,
and who made at that time the follow
ing entry In his Journal:
When l got to the tavern on the
eastern side of the Piscataqua river,
/ found the sheriff of York and six of
his deputies. all with gold-laced hats,
ruffles, swords and very gay clothes,
and all likely young men who had
come out to that place to escort the
court into town"
This gives us a hint of the pomp
and splendor affected by the court of
ficials of those days. when the judges
wore robes of scarlet with large cam
brsc bands, and immense wigs, and
the barristers had gowns and also
bands and tie-wigs."
As the judges approached the shire
towns, the sheriff met them with an
escort and flourish of trumpets. Their
arrival was announced by cannon: and
the daily summons to the court be.
fost bells were introduced was by
tsating a drum.
