TARIFF ON TIN
WOULD HELP
The Black Hills Country Rich
in Deposits of Tin Ore
Concentrates.
A MILL AT HILL CITY
E. c. johnson Brings News of
Probable Protection 10
Tin Industry.

E. C. Johnson, of the Gentle tin
mine at Hill City, returned from the
east this week, and reports the best
OF prospects for a tariff on tin. Ever
since the tariff bill has been before
congress .at Washington, Mr.. john
son has been endeavoring through
our South, Dakota Senators, Gamble
And Crawford, to get an amendment
to the bill providing for duty on
pig. tin and tin ore concentrates. At
. hearing before the senate finance
committee, before the bill was re-
ported out to the senate, the conn
mittee, of which Senator Aldrich is
chairman, declined to recomm end,
&ariff on tin. Nevertheless after the
bill reached the senate Senator Gam
BILE introduced resolution favoring
q tin tariff. just recently the COM
mittee OF the whole in the senate
has accepted the proposed amend
ment. AS soon as tin is reached in
the free list, where it is now inolud-
ed, Senator Gamble will address the
eenate in support of the amendment.
The senator assures Mr.. Johnsom that
he now has every confidence that the
amendment will he adopted by ma
1ority vote of the senate. 1t is ex-
pected tin will be reached in the free
1lst in the next fewpdays and ii passed
eayorably by the senate, will soon go
to conference between the senate
and the house, where its fate will
anally be sealed as far as congress
Is concerned. Then it will lhave to
survive or fall with the whole bill
BY a stroke of President Taft's pen.
If Senator Gamble succeeds, as NOW
seems probable, in getting a tariff
on tin and tin cre concentrates it
will mean great deal to the tin
mining industry of the Black Hills.
Wath sl.N Gertie tin mill at Hill City
MI completed and ready to handle
100 tons of ore per day as soon as
tne power plant is installed, and
anoUuer mill OF equa. capaclty aDoul
reLudy to START at Wnttc,l, it will
greatly stimulate the activity that
has already commenced among the
owners of tin properties in develop
Ing their mines; and Within a very
few years it is predicted by those
best posted in the tim resources of
the Black Hills, that this famous
Richest One Hundred Square Miles
on Earth' will be producing all the
tin this country can use.
With the placing of a moderate
tariff ON tin the Black Hills country
, will profit Immensely, and not only
the two mills mentioned will be in
operation shortly, but others will
start i'll various sections, developing
the rich resources SO layishly placed
at the command of man. 1t will be
AN incentive to bring eastern capital
I to the Hills country which will be oc-
I scupied in the mining industry, maxi
sing this the producing section ana
practically supply point for the util-
1 tiles of the United States, for il is
here that tin can be produced cheap
I lE and of the very best quality.
Senator Gamble and Mr. johnson
are entitled to much credit for their
interchangeable efforts.

A MIDDLEToWN PROBLEM.

a NEW problem as to Saturday night gath
erings in State towns is raised by petit
tion OF certain merchants of Middletown who
think that the town officials are becoming too
strict in enforcing the law against disorder. For
some time there was much complaint at Middle
town because of disordery Saturday night
crowds who took possession of the principal
streets and did very much as they pleased SIM
liar complaints were heard from other towns.
The Aliddletown authorities argued that with
prohibition in force in Kent county, the Saturday
night crowds would be larger in Middletown than
ever before They expected that some persons
who had been dealing in Smyrna would go 70
Middletown and these would swell the usual
gathering of coored people and whites who came
from the region around Middletown and from
the Maryland counties.
The town authorities determined to get po-
hceman who could handle any disorderly visitors
that annoyed residents OF the town who like quiet
and peace even on Saturday nights. The secre-
tary the Town Council advertised for police
man who would perform many duties and espeo-
tally awe the peace dsturbers.
Evidently the policeman supported by the town
authorities, has been making good for there
is a complaint of a dozen merchants that the
crowd is kept moving at too rapid pace. The
merchants probably take the view that the folk
coming to Middletown to make their purchases
want TO pass some of their time in "oafing"
about the streets, having curbstone reunions
with their friends and gazing into the shop win
hOWo d. WSi do puNlhH Spbbo+ ~ NoNoN
take visitors long to make their purchases, and
when they get to town once week, the visitors
do not wish to pack up and so away at once.
They want to have a social time.
The merchants therefore. we take it, want the
town authorities TO draw the fine iine TO let the
visitors loaf around little provided there is no
disordery outbreak
The situation seems to be new. We cannot
recall a complaint from merchants Of other towns
saving that the officers too strict and that the
law is enforced too rgidly.
The merchants mention rule by which all
negroes are ordered from the town at ten oolocS
at night This is a new regulation so far as VIC
know in AIiddletown. There used to be a tradi-
ton in Kent county that all negroes were ordered
out OF Leipsic after nine O'Clock at night but we
don't think other Delaware towns have had such
regulations.
1t seems to be clear that the Middetown Off
Ger has succeeded in controlling the Saturday
night situation. How he will handle it so that
he may please both the protesti'ig merchants and
the residents who have been eager to stop dis
order and ''loafng' is difficult problem Per
haps he will reach the happy mean so that neither
element will have cause to complain.

DRINKING Women.

Kansas City Independent.
why do women drink" plaintively
inquiries a sociologist. After a season
Of mental agitation he evolves the ex-
PLANTATION, Because they have nothing
else to do" His theory is substan-
TALLY sound. Why confne its applica-
ton 10 women? Ennui drives more
men TO the saloon than actual thirst.
The drink taken TO break the monot-
ony Of the hour has really marvel
lous faculty of multiplying itself into
a 'souse" that last over into the next
day and leaves the victim borrowing
carfare. Those best qualified TO judge
will admit that few men get drunk in
er headl ght nor gong. 1t sneaks upon
a man when least expected, usually
about the time the bartender suggests
that he have one on the house before
he goes home. Most frequently the in
vitation to "com eand have a little
drink' Is given and accepted because
the parties to the transaction find time
hanging heavily on their hands. Our
absurd Amer. can treating habit does
the rest. Steady and congeniaI occu-
patton is by far the most effective pro-
moter of temperance. Men who de-
wise some probable way to employ
their leisure time seldom feel the need
for stimulants. Despite all the asser-
tions of habitual drunkards, ninety-nine
times out of a hundred the Craving

active mind.

WHAT WILL ROOSEVELT Doa

He crop of heroes has grown nightly dur
u ing the last few days. But short time
since the aviators thrilling Europe and
their deeds were praised to the skies in this
country. America has been in the air. The
laurels OF Curtss and of the Wrghts have been
well earned. They are the conquerors of the
air. Now comes almost in an instant the con-
querors of the North Pole. Cook first, and then
Peary Both Americans. No wonder that the
old world stands aghast, that England turns
green with envy.
We have so many heroes of new type that
we fear some of our old ones are in danger of
being obscured How will all this turmoil over
aviation and over the discovery OF the North
Pole affect our hero in South Africa? Is he
not in danger of being forgotten? He held the
stage for a long time. He stirred the country
from one end to the other, particularly Wall
Street.
Then he disappeared in Africa, but he could
not entirely withdraw himself even in the dark
continent from the light of publicity, from the
mind Of the people. The stories came regularly
OF exploits telling of bravery and skill as
marksman, Of perils and trials and tribulations
The faithful correspondents were III hearing dis
tance The lions and the other denizens of the
wids were angry, but they have all been con
quered, one after another And the world IS
waiting for his return, for the book, and the
possibility of the lecture tour.
His friends have been wondering whether he
will get as great reception as Hartman got
on his return-that is, reception by the papers
But, too bad. The public mind is diverted from
Africa from airships, and even from baseball,
for the moment.
We are all watching with interest the devel-
opments that surround the exploits Of Peary and
Cook 1t is likely that this diversion will con-
tinue, that a controversy will rage so that the
people will be more concerned in the musk OK,
the polar bear and the walrus, than in the lions
and the tigers of Africa
The explorers and their friends have the stage.
The valiant former President who held the pub
lie eye for so long must be for the moment
canned But Colonel Roosevelt is resource
ful. No one would be surprised, should the an
nouncement come flashing to Washington from
Africa that he had made and startling dis
covery held communication with Mars, and talk
ed with the people of that planet or something
like that. If that does not do well wager that
Colonel Roosevelt will be heard from in another
direction. The South Pole has not yet been dis
covered. Shac1leton failed in his attempt. Some
have thought that the Antarctic regions are
harder to penetrate than the Arctic.
Colonel Roosevelt might slip off to the South
seas and turn up as the discoverer OF the South
Pole. That, indeed, would be glcry for America
and for hero who has stepped behind the scenes
for moment.

wRANeLE An SARATOGA.

n RIENDS of the Conservative" Democrats
OF New York who are preparing for the
conference to be held at Saratoga, Thursday, for
the purpose of reviving the party are inclined to
doubt whether it will be successful The activity
of the Conservatives has stirred the Radicals,
and they intend, unless called off, to inject the
income tax into the Saratoga proceedings.
One of them who is close to Mr.. Bryan says
that the Nebraskan wants the income tax pro-
posal indorsed regardless of any action that may
be taken concerning the tariff And this may
make trouble, for ii is suspected that the Con-
servatives do not wish to approve the income
tax In fact, they are rather expected to pro-
nounce against it, and they look upon the discus
sion of the tax by Bryans friends as an effort 10
prevent party harmony in the State and to
thwart the plans Of the Conservatives.
Evidently complete harmony is not in sight
in New York.
