DEVELOPMENTS in connection with
the suit to recover import duties un-
lawfully evaded by the sugar trust
and the scandal in connection with
the weighing department of the
customs houses indicate that the
sugar schedule is the proper subject
for sweeping tariff revision. The
sugar trust was not satisfied with
robbing the people by adding the
amount of the tariff to domestic sugar,
but sought TO, aud did, evade the
duty on considerable part of the
sugar imported. Congressman who
voted for tariff on sugar made a
record of which they have reason to
be ashamed.

SOUTH DAKOTA HEALTHY

South Dakota is the most healthful
state in the union according TO a
bulletin on mortality statistics which
the census bureau has issued. The
government statistics show that South
Dakota had the lowest death rate Of
the seventeen representative states
from which mortality reports were
obtained last year, and that South
Dakota also led with the lowest rate
of deaths due to tuberculosis, cancer
and suicide, three of the principal
causes of fatalities in this country.
South Dakota reported 1916 deaths
during 1908. This gave that state
the remarkable low death rate of only
l0.l for every 1,000in habitants. Wis
consin was the only state to approach
this record with its death rate of IL.
per 1000. Colorado and California,
much famed as health resorts, had
death rates of II and 1874 per 1000
respectively. Other states in the list
chosen by the census bureau to repre-
sent the mortality of the entire coun-
try which also were surpassed by
South Dakota in healthfulness were
Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Mary
land, Massachusetts,, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode I-land, Vermont
and Washington.

AT Cherry, H., Saturday, Nov. 13
occurred the greatest mine disaster
in the history of the country. An ex-
plosion in the mine followed by fire
is said to have caused the death of
three hundred men. tbs said as a
result of the disaster there will be
two hundred wives widowed and one
thousand children left fatherless.
Every effort was made to rescue the
miners, but without success. Several
of those who made the first attempt
at rescue died from being overcome
with gas at the bottom of the shaft.
A little later it was considered safe to
open the mine, but when it was tried
fire Immediately broke out again.
Nothing like the horror of this affair
ever before occurred in this country

Our of a mothers club of S35 mem
bers in Chicago the fact that only
three of the members had become
mothers during the past year was
developed by an inquiry into the sub
ject. We have long heard of ''side
walk" farmers who did all their farm
ing by telling the other fellows how
to do it, but a Sidewalk" mother is a
new wrinkle developed by these pro-
gressive times.

One side of the grain market sees
prices of wheat already too high,
while the other contends that the
empty bins and practically no stocks
of flour on hand atthe beginning of
the 1909 crop will more than absorb
the sixty million bushels we raised
this year more than last. The INDE-
PENDENT is inclined to the latter view.
That to replace the amount of old
wheat usually carried over would
absorb large part of the surplus is a
certainty. The absence of the usual
stock of flour at the beginning of 1909
crop was condition that had not
existed for many years. We think
when the usual consumption is con-
sidered, the usual amount stored in
elevators at the end of the crop year
to carry the millers through the
harvest season, and the usual stocks
of old wheat -four are placed in the
dealers warehouses to carry the
trade through the season mentioned
there will be nothing left of the sixty
millions surplus over 1908. The re-
ceipts of wheat at the terminal markets
have been large but it has been inn
possible to accumulate the usual
amount in elevators on account of the
great demand. We do not look to
see wheat reach the high point of last
year, but we do look for the legitimate
conditions to carry the locrl price up
to oaround 81 10 before another harvest

Gov. BURKE, of North Dakota, has
appointed Fountain l.. Thompson to
the vacancy in the q. S. senate from
that state. Thompson is said to be a
progressive democrat, whatever that
is. We have no records by which to
estimate progressive democrat, but
Thompson will at least sit through
the long session of congress before his
term expires in 1911, which will give
him an opportunity to make a record
and define progressive democracy.

HINTS FOR RE. D. PATRONS

To be read while standing on your
head. Teach your dog to chase the
carriers rig. It's fun for him and his
hofses enjoy yelping cur at their
heels.
Don't keep supply of stamps and
stamped envelopes on hand. It's so
much fun for the carrier to fish pen
MES from the box. In cold weather
it helps if you wet the money slightly,
it freezes to the bottom of the box
more readily then, and in case you
have number of pieces, scatter them
over the bottom of the box as much
as possible.
When putting mail in the box al
ways be sure to throw it clear TO back
end of the box as the carriers arms
are all made on the extension plan.

SOME of the members of the ad
ministration think they see a plot to
discredit President Taft and his adj
ministration with the people. As a
preventative some advise the presi-
dent to make more clear announce
ment of his policies, to take the peo-
pie into his confidence. In this they
are wise. 1t has got to that point
where the people believe they have a
right to know what the policies of the
administration are to be, and after
such an abortion in the way of tariff
revision they will look with suspicion
upon promises that are indefinite.
The people cannot be blamed for this,
and besides i, is their right to know
what their servants in Office purpose
to do.

The Chicago board of trade will,
within week, vote upon an amend
ment to it's rules which will forever
put an end to the corner" of any and
all kinds OF grain. The rule, ii adopt
ed, will provide for board whose
duty it shall be to place value upon
any commodity which has been ''cor-
nered," and the value so placed by
the board shall be the basis of all
settlements where party has default
ed contract by reason of corner"
in that commodity. This proposition
will doubtless receive approval
throughout the country as most people
have an idea that the corner" is in
furious to legitimate values. Strange
as it may seem this idea prevails
largely among the grain producers.
the very class who profit extensively
by such corners" As resident of
the producing section, we are sorry to
see such a rule adopted by the Chicago
board. In this, however, we will be
numbered with the small minority,
even here in the great producing sec
tion of the Northwest. Having made
something of a study of the grain
business from the standpoint of the
dealer next to the producer, we are
firm in the belief that manipulation
of prices on the boards of trade, and
especially the successful corners, are
beneficial to the producing classes.
The object of the corner" of any
commodity is to raise the price, the
market value to depress the price
below the actual market value is an
impossibility because the actual
market value is always that value re.
sulting from the demand Toabolish
the corner" is to abolish one source
|of profit to the producer. An illustra-
ton Of this is to be found in the pres.

ONE of the acts for which the pro-
gressive element was cussed and held
up to ridicule by the late deposed
leaders of the so-called stalwart fac
tion was the creation of the Office of
state fire marshall. At that time the
opponents of the administration said
it was simply to create berth and
salary for political friend. Today
it is very doubtful if anyone would
have the office abolished. During his
term of Office State Fire Marshall
Craft investigated six fires of an in
cendiary nature and in five of the
cases secured convictions. One of
the important cases was at Canton
where four men had made business
of setting fires. As preventative of
incendiary fires this Office will prove
of greater value than any one can
estimate.

ting that the people of the state
should rejoice and be thankful for the
eminence which our Commonwealth
has attained; for the wonderful de-

the material prosperity which has
come to us.
Earth has been gracious in giving

have been reaped, and our mines have
yielded generously.
Throughout the state there is a
general awakening to the responsible
ity of citizenship, to a higher stand
ard of public morals, and to most
wholesome regard for the dignity OF
the law.
Let us be thankful, also, that no
pestilence or dire calamity has be.
fallen our beloved state and, while
we render thanks for the many bless
ings vouchsafed to us, let us not for
get those less fortunate than ourselves.

Martin. Mr.. Shrader is lawyer of

a situation long ago predicted by the

that eventually Mr.. Martin will train
