A total eclipse of the sun is sched
uled to occur on June II, visible in
all parts of the United States. except
the extreme south The eclipse will
begin in this latitude about Clio in
the morning and continue until after
sunset. The last total eclipse of the
sun was witnessed here shortly after
the close of the civil war, in the year
1869. The eclipse will be remember
ed by many citizens who vet speak of
it as queer experience. The eclipse
predicted for June II is to be total,
and will be reproduction of the one
in 1869. The occasion will afford a
rare experience for residents of South
Dakota, and all who ever witnessed a
total eclipse of the sun state that they
can never forget it-Chief.

INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS Basford is
said to feel very certain of his reap
pointment. When the Legislature ad-
journed he admitted that he would
have to retire. What has brought
about the change in the governors
mind? Or is he being compelled by
the machine to do something which
is distasteful to him2 Governor Vessey
should take lessons from man like
Charles 4. Hughes, of New York, who
follows his own ideas, and who makes
friends by doing so. Argus Leader.
In retaining Basford the governor
would be doing just what the Argus
Leader advises him to do, viz: follow
his own ideas. This movement
against Basford was commenced in
the interests of Reinsurance combine
The A. L., with others, tried to bluff
Mr.. Vessey into turning Basford
down.

DISPATCHES from Pierre state Geo

Sioux Falls, has filed petition with
the supreme court praying for rein
statement as member of the bar OF
this state We have always thought
there was more or less politics mixed
up in the proceedings that resulted in
the disbarrment of Egan, but after
the findings returned by the court il
is hard to see how he can hope for re-
instatement, whether just or not.

ROOSEVELT is reported to have made
another trip on the cowcatcher of an
African locomotive. Either the ex-

been tanned for the occasion. 1t would

ride from choice on the pilot of the

The easy manner in which trans
portation companies overcome regula-
tions imposed by state lawmakers by
changing classifications, and the
limited field of action to which the
state is confined, make the regulation
of transportation by congress a
necessity. With the present member
ship of congress this could not be
done, but the membership can be
changed. The American people are
long suffering, but they can be awaken
ed once in while.

SENATOR LODGE denies that the re.
publican party promised revision OF
the tariff downward. This statement
brings out the question as to what is
the republican party. Is it the rank
and file who stand for the principles
set forth in the platform, and as utter
ed by the standard bearers of the
party, or is the republican party com
posed only of those senaotrs and con-
gressmen who are interested in, or
controlled by, trusts benefting by a
high tariff schedule? Every utter
ance on that subject by President
Taft during his campaign was right
ly interpreted to mean revision
downward in all cases where the
tariff is considered excessive, and
especially in the case of trust con-
troled products. When Senator Lodge,
or any senator or congressman says
the republican party did not promise
revision downward, he utters what he
knows to be an untruth. Had these
senators and congressman gone be-
fore the people in the campaign and
denied the promise of revision down
ward, and offered as the party policy
revision upward such as is now be-
fore the senate, the republican party
would not now be in control of con-
gress. If the Aldrich measure be-
comes the tariff law, it is very doubt
full if the next house will have re-
publican majority. Little better, if
any, can be expected from the demo-
Gratis as is evidenced by their actions
in congress, but that party is not

IT is an old cry, but just the same
this tariff controversy is making plain
the fact that there are too many multi
millionaires in the senate. The peo-
pie should expect very little in the
way of tariff justice from men heavily
interested in manufactures and other
monopolies.
