SAYS TAFT Plan
HELPS RAILROADS

Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 11.-President
Taft's plans for national Incorporation
of railroads are vigorously denounced
by w. j. Bryan in the current issue
OF his Commoner. Bryan says:
'It is evident that President Taft is
planning to urge the national incor
poration OF railroads and other larger
corporations. Such a measure is SO
uncalled for. so indefensible and so i'm
excusabie that the attempt TO bring
about such revolution In the regula-
tion OF corporations suggests an organ
lied and far-reaching plot to with
draw the corporations from state con-
troll.
mo state has asked for this, no
platform has demanded Ii, and the
people have not discussed 1t. With a
cabinet filled with corporation attor-
neys the president seems to be plan
ming the biggest surrender OF the cen-
tury.
THE great corporations want TO es-
cape from state supervision, and ma
tional incorporation is the means pro-
posed The democratic democrats and
the progressive republicans will have
the flgl1t Of lifetime to defeat II.
DOUBTLESS many congressman have
been secretly pledged TO Il and many
Or the senator's are pecuniarily inter-
ested Ia bringing II about. The preda-
tory corporations are preparing to steal
d march on the people. II IL not neces-
sary To have national Incorporation;
we can have ali the regulation neces-
sary without national incorporation,
The democratic platform demands that
federal remedies be added to, not sub
stituted Tor state remedies THAT plat
form waa made TO warn the public
against this very proposition. Beware

CHILD TAKEN TO HOTEL IN
DETROIT.

Detroit, Mich. Sept. 1.-THE dead
body of a s-months old baby girl was
found alone today in a room at the
Library Park hotel. The child was
brought to the hotel yesterday by
woman who registered as Mrs =. G.
Capon of Chicago. On registering she
said she wanted a room for only a
short time, as she intended to leave
town on an evening train.
A post mortem was ordered, as well
as a chemical examination of the
baby's bottle. to determine whether
the little girl was poisoned.
A maid reported that the woman
was occupied much OF the time In
writing after her arrival at the hotel.
She had paid in advance for her room
leaving the key inside the door. Hotel
employees heard the child crying dur
ing the evening and quieted 1t as best
they could.
The woman was a strikingly attrac-
tive and well dressed brunette. The
baby's clothes, which were OF fine
quality, bore no Identification marks.
Chicago, Sept 1.-THE name OF J. G.
Capon does not appear In the city

Schreder Elected.

Attorney John F. Schrader Of this city
was on Wednesday chosen by the South
Dakota presidential electors as the mes
senger to carry the official vote to Wash
ington, and he will leave this evening
for the nations capitol. Three days Of
deadlock preceded Mr.. schrader's cleo
ton and 1t demonstrated that the fight
between the stslwarts and insurgents ID
still on.
The South Dakota presidential elec-
tors were evenly divided between the
stalwarts and insurgents, the former
having Brown, Of Brown county, and
schrader Of Pennington county, and the
latter Lien, of Roberts county, and Doer-
ing of Hutchinson county. For three
days the balloting stood two for Schrsd-
or and two for Lien, and all efforts look
ing towards compromise proved futile.
The only proposition the insurgents
would propose was to decide the choice
by lot, but to this the stalwarts would
not agree. Finally Mr.. Schrader pro-
posed Doanne Robinson, state historian,
and when he failed to secure favorable
consideration of that name, he proposed
and he and Mr.. Brown. the other stall
wart, voted for Mr.. w. c. Cook, the in
surgent republican state chairman.
That was too much for the insurgents
and after seeing that Mr.. Schrader had
them In an unpleasant situation they
wilted and voted for the Rapid City
man.
Mr.. schrader was q boyhood school
mate of Honorable James 8. Sherman,
the vice president-elect, and he
thoroughly appreciates being able to
deliver the South Dakota electoral vote
for Taft and Sherman. Mr.. schrader
will visit New York City, and Utica,
New York, after going to Washington,
and expects to be away about two weeks.
Utica was his boyhood home and Is at
present the home of Mr.. Shermsn.--Ra-

Most Worthy Legislation.

DR.. H. F. Rate, Representative from
Custer county, has introduced bill in
the House asking for an appropriation
for the erection of q sanitarium for con-
sumptives to be located at Custer. It is
the opinion of the Call that Of all needed
legislation this is the most worthy.
Much discussion has already been in
dulged in since Governor Vessey advo-
Gated an institution for the care Of ine-
briates, and while this would be all
right, IL the State had the money, it
seems to the writer that the State should
first mako provision to care for those
that have been stricken with tubercu-
losis. Lawrence county alone has so
people who should be taken care of In
an institution of this kind and thus pre-
vent further spread of the disease. II
it IL true, as the medical fraternity aver,
that the greater number Of those In the
early stages Of consumption can be
cured, then 1t is the duty Of the State
to lend every aid possible to this end.
It does not make 30 much difference
where the institution is located, but it
does seem imperative that something
should be done to check the ravages oi
the great white plague.-Lead Call.

bill 116-"Creating and establishing q

TO establish State tuberculosis hospital
at Custer"
Upon the same subject the Pierre cor
respondent Of the Pioneer-Times says:
"Ratts today started his bill for the es-
tablishment Of o State tuberculosis hos
pital at Custer. He is modest In his
demands, only asking for $4,000 for the
structure, and $1,000 year for maine

member of the Legislature who has the
welfare Of the State at heart. There Is
no moro beautiful nor healthful location
in the State for such an institution than
on Custer park, few miles northwest
Of this city. The park 10 surrounded by
picturesque scenery. 1t is high pla-
teau where the invalid could have pure
fresh air from Harney Peak, the highest
point in the Black Hills, and the quiet
ude necessary for such patients. Plenty
of room for tent city until suitable
buildings could be erected. The Bur

should the sanitarium be located within
q mile or so Of Berne, that station could
be made q point for arrival and depart

A Parallel Case.

Here 10 case parallel with that Of
the Graham brothers, when Raymond
was shot The occurrence almost the
same, the rife Of the same caliber and
the boys Of about the same age. How
ever, in our opinion, the case of Ray
Graham is the most remarkable, from
the fact that the bullet lodged in the
skull after passing through the brain,
aud he is recovering without the bullet
being extracted. The other case 10 %
follows:
1.-TWO little sons Of c. P. Gibson. who
live on farm In Hansen county, did
stunt with 22-caliber rife few days
ago which came nsar costing the life Of
one of the lads, and something marvel
GUS resulted from 1t. One of the lads
10 years old and the other Q year
younger. The older boy in handling the
rife shot his younger brother through
the head, the ball passing through the
brain and coming out at the back Of the
head. The little fellow walked into the
house and told his mother what had
happened. A physician was summoned
from town and medical aid rendered.
Although 10 days have passed by since
the accident the little boy 10 still alive
and the chances seem 10 favsr his com.
plete recovery. It was . most remarka'
BILE thing, and 1t 10 believed that there

school and Pubic Lands.

6cDoOl anu IupAio 4Iuhuo'
We have received the tenth biennial
report OF the Commissioner Of School
and Public Lands and copy from 1t the
following paragraphs:
Generally speaking. 1t may be said,
that the department is in prosperous
condition. The lands sold during the
past two years have brought much high
or prices than ever before, and the rent
ais from the common school and endow-
ment lands have greatly increased.
As the controversy between the Ma.
tional Government and the State OF
South Dakota concerning the title to
sections l6 and SO within the Black Hills
forest reserve is in process Of settlement,
it was not deemed policy to antagonize
the government by putting into execu-
ton the law passed by the legislature OF
1907, providing for the sale of matured
pine timber. AS this law was applicable
only within the aboye mentioned re-
serve and appeared to be Objectionable
to the department of national forestry,
q temporary agreement was, therefore,
entered into between the national for
ester and this department whereby the
dead, down and bug-infested timber is
disposed of through the forest service
force. This agreement was entered into
more for the protection of the timber
within said reserve rom the ravages Of
the pine beetle than for the revenue to
DO derived from the sale of such timber.
1t has been found that the system OF
handling the permanent school fund en-.
trusted to the several counties varies
greatly from the fact Of their being no
legislation along this line, and I would.
therefore, recommend that laws be
passed that will require a uniform sys-
tenn of keeping a record of the funds by
the county officials handling the same,
that all blanks used in executing the
loans be uniform, and an appropriation
be made sufficient to procure ell blanks
necessary, to be distributed by this de-
partment as called for, instead of fur
nishing only a portion Of the same, as
is now the case. This fund has now
reached such proportions that the secur.
tiles should be handled in q more care
full and systematic manner, and as it has
been found in some counties these secur-
tiles are not given proper care, l would
recommend that all notes and mort
cages, school, township, county and mu.
nicipal bonds securing loans from the
permanent school fund be required to
be deposited with this department.
Chapter 226 of the Session Laws oi
1907, provides that not less than SO, ,0OC
acres from the common school, endow-
ment and indemnity lands of the State
be offered for sale annually. In my
opinion this chapter should be amended
30 that it should not be mandatory, es.
pecially should q stringency In the
money market exist. 1t being we'll un.
derstood that during such times it is Inn
possible to make satisfactory sales.
