THE PRESIDENCY.
A Defect in the Law in the Matter Of
Succession

The language of the constitution
is generally we'll chosen, but in the
matter Of the presidential success
sion it is defective. Had it said that
the vic epresidency shall succeed to
the presidency in case of vacancy
in that Office this would have includ-
ed all sorts Of vacancies and have
left no room for question. AS it
anumerates vacancy from one Of
four cause.-the death, resigna-
ton, inability or removal of the
president"- it leaves doubt
whether vacancy resulting from
mother cause, viz, the death of the
president elect-would entitle the
vice president elect to succeed.
The death of both president and
vice president elect would leave the
succession still more doubtful. An
Nrgument can be made for line OF
recession through the holdover
members Of the cabinet of the re-
firing president, but it is not abso-
lutely conclusive. It probably would
not satisfy everybody and thereby
Teate a disputed title. It might
even cause very serious trouble, and
congress should take the necessary

Interior Index Clippines.

A sort OF farewell gathering Of
the friends and neighbors of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed Portwood occurred at their
home on Saturday evening. A very
pleasant evening was enjoyed by the
young folks in singing, dancing, card
playing, ETC., while the elders visited
one with another and enjoyed the
antics Of the youngsters. A very
good supper was discussed at eleven
o'clock. 1t is much to be regretted
that Mr.. and Mrs. Portwood have de-
cided to cast their lot elsewhere, and
they will be missed by every one in
the valley. =
Mrs. Whally. Of Conata, was in
town on last press day, having some
legal business to transact at the In
dex Office. On returning home from
her trip to this place last week, Mrs.
Whally was doomed to lament the
loss of their three cows. their driv-
ing horse, large stack Of hay and
fine barn, from the ravages of fire.
This is indeed serious loss to the
elder and his good wife.

fund for the support and mainten.
ance of roads and public schools.
The amount of timber cut from all
the national forests was 392,792,-
| 600 feet, board measure, as against
| 194,S72,00O feet in the previous
year. This figure for 1908 does not
include the 1,4S2,000 feet given
away to settlers, schools and
churches under free use" permits.
This increase of 102 per cent shows
far better use and increasing pro-
ductiveness Of the forest under con-
sentative methods of cutting. There
was a marked increase in small sales
last year, resulting in an increase
of 236 per cent in the number of
sales, Notwithstanding the fact that
the timber contracted for was far
less in the aggregate than in 1907.
In making timer sales the for
est service seeks small in preference
to large sales. and aims to safe
guard a supply for future needs
rather than to swell the immediate
receipts. We're it desired, the pres
ent receipts from timber sales could
be quickly doubled. During the
year it was found necessary in the
interest of continued supply to
restrict sales on many forests. New
erthless, use Of the national forests
as source Of timber supply was
more general than ever before.
The total receipts from timber
sales each year have been as follows:
1906, $60,136.62. 1906, s24S,O13.-
40; 1907, s66S,S13.12; 1908, $S49,-
027.24.
Payment for timber is always re-
qured in advance. In large sales,
however, and in small sales on ac-
casion, payment is made in INSTALL
ments so arragned as to protect the
against loss without i'm
posing unnecessarily severe burdens
upon the purchaser. Thus the re-
ceipts of each year represent sub
stantially, but not exactly, the value
Of the timber sold and removed dur
ing that year

To Test Gambling Laws.

Pierre, S. d., Jan. 22.-An action
under the gambling laws of the last
session has been begun at Water
town, by George w. Kuhn,a promi-
nent Deuel. county farmer, against
tho proprietor of gambling house
in WATERFOWL. Kuhn is a well-to-
do man, advanced in years and ought
to have known better, but he went
into the place to try his hand at a
poker game and came out two or
three hundred dollars poorer. I'm
der the law of 1907 every one in
anywise responsible for gambling,
the owner of the building, the man
ager Of the gambling room and the
gambler who actually sat in the
game are equally responsible to the
loser in gambling game, and Kuhn
has selected the most responsible
of the crowd and gone after him.
1t is perhaps the first case under the
law though 1t has frequently been
used as bluff to get the money
back.

FORMER WATERTOWN MAN.
Speaker Shurtleff Was law Partner
of Wilbur 8. Glass.

Watertown, S. D., Jan. 10 Ed
ward Shurtleff, who is creating
something of a furore in political
circles in the state of Illinois, was
formerly a Watertown man, having
come here in an early day from Ma
rengo, Iowa, and associated himself
with Wilbur S. Glass in the practice
Of law. While residing in Water
town he evinced more than passing
interest in political matters, becom-
ing the leader in the movement
which made Hon. w. H. Donaldson
mayor back in the Sos Donald
son in turn became & member of the
territorial legislature and post mas
ter. About twenty years ago Shurt-
left returned to his Illinois home,
where he has become one Of the
most noted Of that states legisla-
tors, having won the speakership at
the last session and being now en-
gagged in a life and death struggle
with the wing of the party under the
domination of United States Sena-
tor Hopkins.

TO SAVE THE CHILDREN.
Meeting of the National Child Labor
Committee in Chicago.


Chicago, Jan. 21.-To save the
children of the nation from the Jug
gernaut of the factories and the Mo-
loch of the mines is the object Of
hundreds of earnest men and wo-
men who gathered in Orchestra hall
today for the opening session Of the
fifth annual child labor conference
under the auspices of the National
Child Labor Committee.
Isaac N. Seligman, Of Nav York,
chairman of the national committee,
opened the conference, and a re-
spouse was made by Governor De-
neen. A discussion Of the propos-
ed children's bureau, to be estab-
lshed in connection with some de-
partment of the federal government,
will be held tonight. The sessions
will extend through tomorrow and
Saturday.
Practically all the states of the
union, except few in the south,
now have some sort of laws regulat-
ing child labor, but delegates to to-
days convention assert that most
of these laws are inadequate and
ineffective in checking what has be-
come a crying national evil. 1t is
pointed out that horse breeders real
ize the evils involved in the prema-
ture working of colts, and 1t is as
serted that as much regard shou 4
be paid to the young of the human
| species.
The conference promises to be one
Of the most comprehensive on the
subject of children ever held by the
committee. "The Children of the
Nation" will be the general topic OF
the discussions, which will be partic
ipated in by some Of the most prom.
inent social workers, physicians, ed
ucators and labor leaders Of the
country.
One of the objects of the confer.
ence is to arouse public sentiment
in favor Of the adoption of bill
pending in congress to establish ;
national children's bureau. Tho bill
was introduced in the senate thre1
years ago, but did not come to ,
vote, although it received the en-
kdorsement of President Roosevelt

and other high officials of the .edera,

and other high officials of the federal
government.
The national child labor commit
tee will urge the passage of the bill
at the present session of congress.
The proposed bureau is designed 10
devote itself specifically to the inter-
est of the children of the nation.
1t us proposed that it investigate and
report on all matters pertaining to
the welfare of child life, particularly
with reference to child labor, infant
mortality, birth rate, physical de-
generacy, orphanage, delinquency
and juvenile courts, dangerous &C.
equations, accidents and diseases Of
children of the industrial class, and
legislation affecting children in the
several states and territories.
Following are some of the leading
topics to be discussed during the
seven sessions of the conference.

GREGORY GETS LAND OFFICE.
Won After Hard Contest With
Gregory.

ufcSOTy.
Washington, Jan. 2O.-The Greg
DRY county, South Dakota, land Office
fight between Gregory and Dallas
was settled today with the announce
ment by Secretary Garfield that he
would locate the office at Gregory.
1t has been one of the hardest
fought contests of the kind ever
known here. Immense political
pressure was brought to bear, es-
pecially in behalf of Dallas. Sena-
tor Gamble supported Gregory, and
after Secretary Garfield had prac-
tically decided for Dallas, Mr.. Gam
BILE, by personal appeal to the presi-
dent, got it re-opened and the de-
cision reversed.
The campaign for Dallas was led
by Ex-Governor Frank D. Jackson,
of Iowa, and his sons, who have
large land interests there, and would
have profited largely by the loca-
ton of the Office at Dallas. They
were represented by Senator Kilt
redge in their losing fight against
the town of Gregory.
1t is not understood that the To-
cation of the land Office at Gregory
affects in any way the possibility Of
the discontinuance of the land office
now located at Chamberlain. but no
action affecting the latter place will
be taken for some time, although
the lands to be comprised within
the district which vii be formed
with Gregory as the headquarters
are now in the Chamberlain district.

Mail Service Not Satisfactory.

The new mail service was sup
posed to help out the west end OF
this line in great shape, but 1t is
working fierce. There was short
age OF clerks on this end, but they
were added. The trouble now is
the postal car is stopped at Huron
md the clerks must transfer all their
mail and that takes lot OF time.
Saturday che clerks came in here
With dozens OF sacks Of stuck" mail
and lots Of letters. The Capitol
Journal got two letters Sunday that
were mailed on the train SOL Satur-
day and the postmark showed It.
This means the letters were here and
returned. The clerk into Rapid
City had "A sacks of papers and 20
packages of letters. The letters
were worked up and the papers sent
back with the next mail car. That
clerk got another dose of AZ sacks
md after struggling with this the
next man got SO sacks at Capa.
Among this congestion was the Sioux
City Tribune of the 18th, which
landed in the Pierre Office from the
west last night, the 10Th. One issue
IF the Minneapolis Journal of last
week is floating around somewhere
on the line. A catalogue for this
office sent from Minneapolis Tuesday
got here Sunday. Great service
that. 1t will cost the government
$4,000 year to run postal car
from Huron to Pierre, but with the
growth out west it seems to be the
only thing that can be done. And
yet 1t is only three years ago when
John Erickson used to transfer the
mail here for the country west and
carried it all in one sack on his back.
Superintendent Dixie says one day
the past week there were 40 sacks
OF mail in the baggage car when
the train reached here. OF course
no clerk could handle that. It looks
as though the superintendent in
charge of this division had some
thing to account for. The railway
people say they will try to get their
officers to take the matter up at
Washington. 1t will not be long till
Mr.. Burke goes to headquarters and
when he does the people who are
operating on the plan that this is
still the Great American Desert will
learn few things.-Pierre Capitol
