THE ~HEALTHIEST STATE.

Doan Robinson writes us from Pierre
as follows: Il wish to call the at
tention of physicians, clerks of courts
and the people generally to the splen-
did advertising given to South Dakota
through every newspaper in America
using Associated Press reports, in
the Jews special from Washington,
in which the government officials ac-
cord to South Dakota the preemin-
ence of being the healthiest state in
the union and consequently the heal
thiest community in the world. This
distinction is based upon the reports
of deaths to this department as re-
CURED by law. If South Dakota is
to retain this official recognition of
our healthfulness every person charg-
ed with the duty of making reports
must be vigilant and prompt in the
performance of duty. Should the ma
tional census next June develop that
we are not securing reports upon at
least ninety per cent of all births and
deaths, we will not be permitted to
remain in the recognized registration
area. Money cannot purchase adver.
Using so valuable to the state as the
official report Of our healthfulness
spread broadcast over the world by
the Associated Press. l trust every
citizen will appreciate the value of
these reports and do all he can to
assure their accuracy, by reporting
every birth and death, for the report
of which he is liable. The importanl q
of this work justifies cooperation (
all citizens to make the returns
perfect"

THE MEN OF THE MINE.

Since the Cherry Hill, III. mine
disaster, the attention of a nation has
been centered upon those who follow
one of the poorest paid and most
hazardous occupationg-the miners.
The world has it's plaudits for those
who can rise
On the POUNDS Of the ladder OF fame,
And those who achieve in the striving
for power,
Are hailed with Il wonderful name.
We honor our captains Of finance
and land
Their prowess and skill, that j. fine.
But what do we offer IN merited praise
To the t%oilers, the men of the mine?
Far beneath the gloom they are delv-
ing away
While moments pass silently by,
No sound of the life that is pulsing
above,
Nor glimpse of the blue of the sky.
And death often turks in the caverns
below
And gives neither warning or sign.
In the darkness Gnd gloom they are
digging their tomb
They're the t~oilers, the men of the
mine.
There are heroes whose daring has
never been told,
Who have never marched in array,
Whose deeds are unknown in the an
nails of war
Where b%ayOncts clash in the fray,
There are heroes Whost records were
never inscribed .
Whose courage, we cannot divine
In the darkness and gloom they are
digging their tomb
They're the t%oilers, the men of the
mine.

TAFT
MUST MAKE GOOD

his visitors that he is working for re-
vision Of the kind desired by the peo-
pie. but that he will not ask congress
to reduce any particular rate. He is
willing to deal in generalities, but not
figures.

right kind of revision" says the presi-
dent to congressman who visit him.
do not be severe on the necessities,
but depend more upon incomes for
revenue"
"But, Mr.. President, what about
lumber. hides gloves, tea, coffee, hos
iery?" he is asked. The executive side
steps questions like this.
While this method may be good di-
plomacy under ordinary circumstances,
in a tariff war it does not make much
Roadway for the consumer. Gener-
aIities fall on the politician like water
on a ducks back.
Now that the very things which the
insurgents and democrats prophesled,
are happening almost daily, it is be-
coming more difficult than ever to I'M
derstand why President Taft resorted
to steam-roller methods to perpetuate
the Cannon Dalzell- Aldrich forces. He
has only himself to blame, it is declared
by the insurgents, for his present hu-
initiating predicament. He has placed
men in charge of congress that viii
not do his bidding, and who stand as
a stone wall in the path of legislation
making good his tariff pledges.
President Taft said one reason he
supported Cannon and the old rules
was that he wanted no delay. Yet 1t
was Cannon and the old rules that
was responsible for Wastin" the whole
of last week. The house leaders de-
layed the tariff procession 10 days in
spite of President Taft's statement to
visitors that the people of the United
States are losing s10,000,O00 every day
which passes before the new tariff law
is put upon the statute books
President Taft is not yet willing to
admit that he made mistake In
standing sponsor for the big Three
however Quite on the other hand ne
would undoubtedly again today use all
the power at his. command to retain the
present leaders should they become in
Jeopardy through an alliance of the
insurgents and democrats.
'Why is the president so glued to
Messrs. Cannon, Dalzell and Aldrich::
is the question which naturally comes
up in the mind of the average newspa
per reader.
The sihfa.ion is peculiar. The ma
iority of American newspapers and
irrespective of party, have
frequently denounced the men Taft
makes his bosom friends. Why the
president Stands for Cannon is
real mystery 1t is a matter to which
the corps of Washington newspaper
devote considerable
guessing.
Why the special interests hold the
Cannon. crowd in power in spite of
public opiEion is no mystery. The
schedules in the Payne bill, which pro-
tect the abnormal profits Of the Stan
dard Oil, American Sugar Refining
the lumber and steel trusts
and other monopolies, afford a strik-
ing explanation.

YALE VARSITY TO ROW
ON fHE SCHUYLKILl
Pennsylvania VIII Race Sons Of Eli
for Two Miles Over Water
Course Tomorrow.
PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA, April 9.-The
committee on rowing of the athletic
association announces the arrange
inent of a boat race between the
Pennsylvania and Yale university
crews to take place on the Schuylkill
on Saturday, April 10, 1909, the dis
tance of the race to be two miles.
Both the Yale and Pennsylvania
crews will this year be almost entire
~ made up of new men, and therefore
it has been felt at both universities
that the arrangement of preliminary
races would be most desirable in ord r
that the crews may have had some ra-
cling experience before rowing at New
London and Poughkeepsie.
Moreover, so far as Yale is con-
cerned, the water and conditions at
New Haven in the early spring are not
very well fitted for practice, the har-
Dor being rather unprotected from the
brisk winds which are apt to prevail
at that time. The Easter vacation at
Yale begins on March 81, and it is the
intention of the management to bring
the crew to Philadelphia Immediately
upon the beginning of the vacation.

n TARIFF PROVES A FlAsco,
BLAME WILL BE LAID ON
HIS SHOULDERS.
Democrats and insurgents Blame Him
for Sticking to the Ring OF
Old Liners.

WASHINGTON, April eff the re-
vision of the tariff turns out to be a
fiasco, the responsibility will be laid
1T the door of President Taft. AT
leaat ne will be blamed by the insur-
gent republicans and the democrats.
heir position is that the Payne
end of the country to the other, is
wholly the handiwork of the Cannon
i)aizell- A1drich contingent. Foresee-
ing what these lifelong anti-revis-
;cnists would do, the insurgents and
democrats endeavorel at the opening
Of the special session to put these
men, together with the rules which
enable them to control all legislation,
out of business forever.
The insurgents and democrats, 1T is
being recalled, predicted what is really
occurring. They prOphesied Cannon
and his friends which includes Payne
and Fordrey, would bring in and
then by the manipulation of their rules
force on the public, tariff bill that
would be so overwhelmingly in favor
Of the trusts that it would cause the
country to stand up and shout its dis
approval.
The insurgents wanted Cannon and
his followers out of the way so they
could secure the kind of tariff revision
promised by the republican party. The
insurgents lined up with the demo-
Gratis to bring about honest revision.
President Taft insisted that the
tariff should be left in the hands of the
old crowd 1t is admitted on all sides
that it was his action in using all
the power he could muster in favor
of Cannon and the old rules that saved
them from defeat. Therefore, 1t is
contended, he should be game and
stand willing to shoulder the respon-
sibility for the action of the men
placed in control of national legisla-
don. @
Having made the mistake of sup
porting men who time and again have
proven their unfitneSS to make laws
for the nation, President Taft is MAX
ing a belated effort to secure revision
along the lines desired by the people
generally While his good faith is not
questioned in these efforts, his work.
ing methods are such that it is not
believed he will be successful.
Although more than one million per-
sons have signed petitions protesting
against increased duties on certain ar
ticles. particularly gloves and stock
ings, President Taft has not asked the
house leaders to alter these particular
features of the Payne bill. He tells

Principal StockhoIder Says Testing OF
Law Will Be Left to T. n. Will

LOS ANGELES, April 7.-Officials
announcement was made today that
the present meet of the Santa Anita
Racing association will close on Sat
urday, April II, the same date as the
Emeryvile closing, and two days be-
fore the Walker Otis anti-racing law
track and racing men in general ex-
press no doubt whatever but what
there will be racing at Arcadia next
year regardless of the new law.
1t is also announced that the Santa
Anita association will make no effort
at testing the new law. but will leave
that important work entirely to
Thomas H. Williams, president of the
New California Jockey club. 1t is un-
derstood that Williams will test the
constitutionality of the law, and will
base his objection to it upon that sec
ton which specifies that violators OF
the law shall be confined in the
county Jail. 1t Is asserted that the nam
ing of the specific place of confinement
is unconstitutional.
George Ross. principal stakeholder
of the association, said today: There
is no question but that we shall have
racing here next year. Efforts at test
ing the validity of the law will be left
in the hands Of President Williams, Of
the California Jockey club, and l have
no doubt of the success.
1--WE believe the law to be clearly
unconstitutional and that the courts
will so define it. The Santa Anita
grounds and track will be kept in their
usual condition throughout the coming
summer to be in readiness for the
meet next winter"
