Fast driving with the automobile
is something that the autoist cannot
hardly avoid. When a man sits in
a car with his hand on the throttle
the impulse is altogether too strong
to snake along the country at a slow
speed. and he follows the natural in
%clination to hit it up a good clip. What
ever the impulse may be there is the
law to be regarded. The Arlington
Sun makes quite a good pont con-
corning the fast driving in the fol-
lowing article, which might be APP
piled In some cases to drivers in this
territory:
Owners of automobiles seem
some Of them to be unaware that
there is a state law governing the
speed at which the machines may be
run, in the country as we'll as in
towns. Ten miles an hour within the
limits of any incorporated city or
village, fifteen miles an hour on
country roads, is the limit Of speed
set by the law of the state of South
Dakota. All drivers of automobiles
exceeding this speed are liable. The
auto is regarded as a vehicle, not as
a railroad train. 1t is not intended
that the public highways or the
streets of a town to be used for rail-
road trains, or for touring cars which
run at the speed of railroad trains.
When owners of automobiles secure
the right of way and fence in a road
for themselves, with regular signs
at the crossings or below or above
grade, then probably they can Sc
cure a state license to run at any
speed their recklessness and the
power of their machines may make
possible, but as long as they use the
common roads they will have to con
form to the speed which less fortu-
nate mortals, who possess only hors
es. or their own good legs, for loco
motion. find possible. There is a
deal of trouble ahead for some who
do net seem to clearly understand
the existence of this law"

The Aberdeen Democrat, a weekly
publication. has been rejuvenated by
Granville Jones. and appears in a
different form than formerly. The
Democrat has needed something for
the past year or two and perhaps
Mr.. Jones has the qualifications to
inject new life into the publication.
The Democrat will doubtless assume
the leadership of the party in the
state, for Mr.. Jones was one of the
strong workers for democracy. w
I. LaFollettte, editor of the Gazette
of this city. has been the bright and
shining light of the democratic press
for several years, but now that he
has gone out of business in this city
the Gazette having been sold to Other
parties. the chances are that the Alb.
erdeen paper will assume to be the
leader in the democratic newspaper
world of South Dakota. The fac
that subscriptions are being solicit
ed over the state indicates that Mr.
Jones and his paper are going t.
cut more than an ordinary figure il
the democratic political situation il
this state.

The Standard Oil Co. has reduced
the price of gasoline in this state
two cents a gallon, and it came
about through the action Of the
Legislature which changed the in
spection Jaw and permitted gasoline
Of a lower gravity to be sold. Chem
lists. it is claimed, gave a very
thorough investigation of the lower
gravity and they arrived at the con-
clusion that the lower gravity fur
nished more light and heat than the

this kind Of gasoline. Anyway you

AS TO AN INCOME TAN.

The Washington Herald, an indie
pendent newspaper, touches With
some interest on the question of the
income tax and what effect it will
have on the tariff and a changing
of the system of raising the reve-
nue. for the government. Its iueas
are given below:
I'VE are not so sure that the de-
mocratic senators will score a great
hit with the country by proposing an
income tax that will yield $4,000,
900 IN revenue unless they couple it
with tariff reductions that tend to
reduce the cost of living. 1t is true
that they are committed to a pc
%functory declaration for low duties
on the necessaries of life and high
duties on the Injuries; but what
does this doctrine come to in prac-
tice when the strongest opposition
to it's application exists among demo
cratic senator's themselves? In the
Wilson bill the income tax was COM
Elementary to vital reductions on
the necessaries-sugar, for instance.
How many democratic votes could
be obtained today for free sugar?
Among the stoutest advocates of
stiff duties on hosiery, on lumber, on
cotton goods, on rice, tobacco and
hides, on fruits and vegetables, and
on many other necessities, are our
democratic friends of the south. As
long as these duties are to remain
and will, according to Mr.. Aldrich
the purpose of raising more revenue?
"The fact is hat in this matter the
democrats are as usual, on the wrong
side of the proposition and the re-
publicans on the right side. Mr.. Al
drich proposes to frame a tariff bill
that will yield sufficient EVEN TO
meet the necessities of the govern
ment economically administered, 10
quote from sundry democratic plat
forms. If the republicans succeed
in their present plan of reducing eX-
penditures SO that the income from a
tariff bill supply the needs of the
treasury, thus avoiding the lmposi-
ton of new taxation they will have
executed a very shrewd and appeal
ing program. 1t will so far to xcnse
the imperfections, even the enormi-
ties, of any tariff bill they may en-
act. And they will have dished the
democrats, as is their habit, oy ar-j
propriating one of the most ancient
maxims of the democratic party.
1.-The income tax will be all right
when we need it. We do not want
it simply to maintain the eXtrava-
gance of public expenditure as it's
present height. The duty Of the
hour is economy in expenditure and
reform in administration-good old
democratic ideas, for the practical
application of which we have to
look to MI. Aldrich and President
Taft"

Lieutenant Governor shoLer is

Lieutenant Governor Sholer is
taking issue with Governor Vesssy
and Insurance Commissioner Bas-
ford on the distribution of the In
surance statements among the re-
publican newspapers Of the state.
This plan has been outlined by II
o. Richards and 1t is said to be en-
dorsed by Governor Vessey. 1t is
too much for the lieutenant COVER
nor, and he has addressed a letter to
the governor on the subject. AS long
as the insurance statements have to
be printed in the newspapers the
governor thinks that the republican
newspapers should be treated alike
in that regard. The lieutenant gov
ernor is of the opinion. and he en-
presses it very strongly, that nom
but the progressive republican pa
pers should have the p,c. Shober
thinks that the governor should not
overlook thr attitude of the stalwart
papers during the camnaign. When
they made attacks Oh the progressive
candidates, aud that now they ought
to be punished. Shober doesn't want
to see harmony in the republican
party, not the least little bit, and it
should not be understood that tie
giving Of the insurance statements
is the basis Of harmony. for we dc
not believe that the stalwart press is
making anything of a kick for the
statements. If the statements are
sent out to both papers alike vel
and good, but the stalwart press is
not urging anything of the kind.

TOO MUCH OF ONE KIND.

OF much discussion in the pres.

of possibility that they may flock

The railroads of this state have
started petitions to secure signers to
referendum the electric headlight
law, and thus prevent it's being en-
forced after July 1. The legislature
passed a law during the recent ses-
sion requiring that all engines in the
state should be equipped with an
. electric headlight of 1900 candle
power. 1t looks a good like it is a
very heavy and unnecessary burden
to force the railroads to equip every
engine with an electric light plant,
and it is doubtful if the plan could
claim hat the use of the electric
headlight would, in the curse of
three or four years. destroy their
eyesight. The law has the appear
ance of being in a way revengeful.
and when it is presented to the peo-
pie to vote upon it will very likely be
repealed.

boxes must be placed within easy
access, where the mail carrier ~
have an opportunity to get to The
boxes with the least degree of dis
comfort and further that the roads
will have to be kept in condition to
travel. This one feature the rural
community has lost sight of ever
since the government established
the rural service. While the farmer
may be willing to drive along any
old kind of a road, the government
insists that these roads must be kept
in good condition, and the govern
ment has been very generous in this
respect in not cutting out routes on
which the roads have not been kept
up to anywhere near a decent con-
dition. When these roads are made
good and kept that way it is not
the mail carrier who gets all the
benefit of the good roads, but the
farmers themselves are helped to a
great extent, more, perhaps, than
they will really acknowledge. There
are some individual farmers who will
take an hour or two "a week to work
the road in front of their farm home
and it is in marked contrast with
the poor road approaching or the
one beyond. A farmer who has a
good piece of road in front of his
farm must have a feeling Of salts
faction in his own breast that he
has done some good for himself and
for the travelling public, and further
than that it creates a telling of pride
within his being when he is compli-
mented by the traveller on the man
ner in which he keeps the road in
front of his farm. There is plenty
of room for improvement in the ter
ritory surrounding Mitchell, and we
believe that the business men stand
ready to cooperate with the resident
farmers to help in whatever way is
the best for all concerned.

will undoubtedly go into the courts
before it is ended. While the vote at
the recent election showed that the
town went vet by N majority,
when the anvas of the votes vas
conducted by the city council several
votes were thrown out and when it
came to a vote of the council on
these matters it was a tie vote and the
mayor voted dry, which settles the
question of license for the present.
It is understood that the wet side
will carry the case to the courts for a
final settlement.
