Wants Advisory Board.


Replying to the criticism that the
forestry officials act arbitrarily in
settling questions pertaining to graz
ing, the speaker urged the formation
of advisory boards for different re-
serves or divisions Of reserves so that
the officials will have representative
mon with whom to consult He de-
clared the forestry service to be an
xious to consult with such advisory
boards and to meet the wishes of
sheepmen when possible to do so He
favored advisory boards for the va
rious reserves in preference to one
board for the entire state

Plea for Harmony

f. Madison Outlook: The last issue
of the Redield Journal-Observer
made a very strong plea for har-
mony in the republican party, mild
ly castigating the leaders Of both
factions and maintaining that a very
large majority of the rank and file
of the party are in favor of harmony.
In the main the Journal-Observer is
right. The Outlook is one of the few
papers of the state that has advocat-
ed harmony for the past two years
or more. but we are beginning to
despair of anything being able to
bring about that happy condition of
affairs, unless unhappily a sting
ing defeat at the polls by the
democrats at no distant date
may be the bitter means to that end.

The Personal Statement

Vermillion Republican: In assum-
ing editorial and publishing control
of his newly acquired newspaper
plant, that of the Mitchell Daily Re-
publican and Weekly Capital, Mr.. w.
R. Ronald submits a personal state
ment which is phrased in a tone that
seems to afford the right sort of ring
and resonance as its clear and cog
emily stated sentences are read by
this writer. We shall deplore the
departure of Bro. Downey and the
Deans, but we wish to extend a
warm welcome to Bro. Ronald as he
comes into their succession and the
possession of the long looked for
ward-to privilege of publishing his
personal views for the public veal
in his W paper. He is aiming high,
but we see no reason for distrusting
his ability to hit the mark.

And then our good brother, Brown

give up everything while he takes

plucky and patriotic enough to go

WHAT EVERY cry MUST HAVEN


No one ever heard of a real city
that was built without the aid OF a
commercial club. A commercial
club is just as necessary to a city
that has any ambition as is a clerk
to a store. Unless Mitchell people
are ready to say that Mitchell has
neither attractions nor advantages
and we believe there is no person
here who would say such a thing
Mitchell people should be jealous of
their commercial club.
What is everybody's business is
nobody's business and it is the bust
ness of everybody in Mitchell to
join in bringing to the city new bust
ness institutions and to help make
prosperous those that are already
here. So, to prevent its being no.
body's business, it is necessary to
make it somebody's business and that
somebody is the commercial club.
If any one has a better plan to
suggest for taking care OF those who
are considering location in Mitchell,
1t ought to be suggested; otherwise
1t is the duty of all Mitchell people
to make the city's commercial club
just as strong and as active as they
can.
Local pride in Mitchell ought to
be enough to assur the permanency
of a commercial club here. But
those who r not loyal enough to
Mitchell to be moved by such a con-
%sideration, should be convinced by
the dollar-and-cents value of an or
|ganization devoted to the upbuild-
ing Of the city. That every one in
any way engaged in business or even
serving as an employee, stands to
profit financially by the bringing Of
new concerns to the city and by in
creasing the business of those al
ready here, is self-evident.
An important meeting of the COM
mercial club will be held Tuesday
evening. The attendance will in a
way measure the loyalty of Mitchell
people to their splendid little city.

DANGERS FOR ROOSEVELT
Chicago Traveller Says that He is Now

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Between the

African expedition, according to e.
M. Newman, a Chicago traveller, who
has just returned from a six months
tour in Africa and who twice crossed
the trail of the former president
while there. -.=.
"Col. Roosevelt is now approach
ing the Meru country-the land Of
elephants-and soo he will be
among the deadly swamps of the
Nile valley, where a fatal fly swarms
and spreads the deadly sleeping

The Mitchell Republican

Yankton Press and Dakotan: Mr..
w. r. Ronald, who has conducted the
editorial department of the Sioux
Falls Press for the past two years,
assumed the ownership and control
Of the Mitchell Daily Republican on
the LIST of this month. The Repub-
5lican has been owned and conducted
by two gentlemen, the Dean broth
ers, for the past twenty years, and
has by able management and good
fnanciering become one of the best
newspaper properties in the state, so
that Mr.. Ronald will be relieved Of
much of the care and worry incident
to placing his property on a paying
basis. All he will find it necessary
to do is to maintain and improve his
plant and keep it fully abreast of the
prosperous and growing city which
he has selected, for good reasons, as
the field for his newspaper activities.
The Republican will continue to be

WATERFOWL IS HAPPY
Minneapolis = st. Louis Road is Mai
ing Headquarters Of That City
for Oficers.

Watertown Public Opinion: An
announcement of vast Importance to
the future of Watertown was made
today when accredited agents of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad
gave cut facts that the company has
leased the entire second floor Of the
new G. NJ. Cannon block, Oak street
south, and will establish therein gen.
eral offices for the handling of all
business of the road west of Min
neapolis. The assignments Of men
to the offices have not yet been
made.
In the new offices will be located
the superintendent and his force, the
chief train dispatcher and five 9TH
ers, the roadmaster, the travelling
engineer, and the trainmaster and
clerks. These are the Offices assign
ed to Watertown for the present but
1t is regarded as certain that in a
short time other officials will be
ordered to make their headquarters
->re.
The announcement is in line with
a prediction made by Public Opinion
some time ago. AS noted, it mean
that the general management of the
st. Louis sees in Watertown the cen
trail city of the northwest, and pro-
poses to locate here the headquarters
for all lines of that road west of the
twin cities. In the great Hawley
plan of developing a coast to coast
line, Watertown will be the city on
the st. Louis between Chicago and
Pacific coast.
The Cannon block will serve as
quarters for these Offices until next
year when it is expected that a new
depot will be completed here. The
Rock Island will assist in building
and will use the new depot at this
point. Inasmuch as the general off,
ces will be here, the St. Louis will
need a very large station, and it is
predicted that when built, the struc-
ture will be the largest and hand
soonest passenger station in South
Dakota.

States Birthday

Pierre Capital Journal: Twenty
years ago Tuesday. the state of South
Dakota came into legal existence.
And with it Judge d. Corson, of
Deadwood became a member of the
supreme court of the state, a posi-
ton which he has held ever since that
date. and holds under an election
which will continue him three years
more as a member of the highest
judicial body Of the state. Judges
ID. Haney and e. G. Smith, of the
court, while members of the supreme
court, for shorter time than Judge,
|Corscn, have been judicial officers Of
South Dakota since the same date.
Judge Haney having been elected as
the first circuit judge of the Fourth
district at the beginning of statehood,
and serving as such until he came to
the supreme bench through appoint
ment to the supreme bench by Gov
ernor Sheldon in February, 1896.
Judge E. G. Smith was elected as
Judge of the first Judicial circuit
with the beginning of statehood, and
held that position until his appoint
ment to the supreme bench by Gov
ernor Wesley last May. These three
are the only state officials who have
served the state continuously since
It's organization twenty years ago,
and this is the twentieth anniver-
sary Of judicial service for the three.

WHAT Idaho needs is better trans
portation facilities The open river
from Lewiston to the sea, railroads,
electric lines and, first, last and all the
time, better county roads. The state
is coming more and more into public
notice every day. Thousands and
thousands of people, attracted by the
hospitality dispensed at our building
at Seattle, the splendid exhibits which
we now have and the literature there
being distributed, are registering their
names and addresses on the little
cards, asking for information about
Idaho. When they are shown our
splendid fruit farms, mines and
ranches, the first question they ask is
where is the market and how do you
get the product to itl We should be
able to point to the splendid, easily
accessible highway. We are enter
ing a new epoch in the history of the
development of Idaho; that is to say,

tor in this development. Every good
citizen in the state should. and will,
lend his aid and moral support to the

SEN. BoRAH ON INCOME TAX.

| have always believed and | still
believe, that an income tax will teach
economy in public expenditure. We
are the only civilized government on
the earth today Boosting as we do Of
our equality of rights and freedom.
In fact we are the only government
that ever existed in the history of the
world without the legal power to tax
wealth for the support of the national
government. Can anyone think OF
that and be at easei Here is a free
government of equal rights and yet we
have not the constitutional power to-
day to put one cent of taxes for the
support of the national government
upon the most lucrative form of
wealth in this country.
1t is the most subtle, the most mis-
leading and the most damnable sys-
tenn that was ever conceived for the
paupcrizing of the masses and the en-
riching of the few. Can you imag-
Inc a more potent instrument for
building up an aristocracy of wealth
IN a democracy of paupersl l do
not inveigh against wealth as such.
| would make our laws strong and
safe in its protection and shield il so
long as it is honestly obtained, but i
know. and no one knows better than
you. that if the burdens of government
are not more equitably distributed this
extravaganza will go on. The great
weight will rest with those least able
to pay and when the time comes that
our public lands are all gone and pub
lie resources exhausted, and the poor
become poorer and more numerous,
that wealth will be glad to escape the
wrath to come by paying its proper
ton of the burden of the government.
Senator Borah's reply to Lewiston
Tribune.
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1909-09-29

Gov. BRADY in his Seattle speech,
seems to have taken his cue from the
great railroad magnates when he says:
We must not forget, we must plan
for the completion of the great PAN
anna canal. Freight rates have much
to do with our development, for we
must send our products away from
home. If we can have freight rates
planned out on common basis for
the three states of Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon, so that there is no
change when the border is reached.
we hold, in a way, the advantage of
being practically one great state"
The belief prevails that first, and even
beyond the competition of rival rail-
road lines, the prime cause for the
double-tracking of the great trans
continental lines and the construction
of the very expensive cut-offs, such
as the Lolo, the Milwaukee and the
Salmon river, is due to the fact that
all of these lines will soon be called
upon to compete with the steamship
lines via the Panama canal, and that a
few miles saved in cut-offs and the
thousands of tons saved by lighter per-
cent grades will settle the question of
the profits. The present hot rivalry
has largely to do with the desire of
the great lines to secure the very best
and shortest routes across the CONT
nent, in view of the day when the
great steamship lines will cause them
to haul both passengers and freight at
a greatly reduced rate.

cess in the matter of conservation OF
natural resources and in the immense
value Of what you have done and pro-
pose to do with reference to forestry
and kindred methods of conservation,
and that am thoroughly in sympathy
with all of these policies and propose
to do everything that | can to main
tain them, insisting only that the action
for which | stand or for which my
administration becomes responsible
shall be within the law"
