ON
TARIFF QUESTION
Addresses the People of South Da-
kOta on important Issue

Sioux Falls, >. D.. Sept. "a
great crowd assembled here today
to greet x-President Roosevelt,
representative citizens Of South Da-
kota being present from all sections
of the state. The reception was en-
thusiastic and we'll ordered.
Colonel Roosevelt and his party
arrived at Abs p. m. He was &C
companied from Omaha by Congress-
man Martin and United States Mar
shell Bullock and from Sioux City
by the South Dakota committee,
headed by State Chairman Cook
The colonel was driven to a large
tent that had been erected to accom-
mOdate the great audience. the COM
mittee rightly concluding that the
auditorium with It's 1000 seats
would not hold the crowd.
Colonel Roosevelt's address to the
people of South Dakota was on the
important question of tariff. and in
regard to the present law. he said:
Il think that the present tariff is
better than the last and consider
ably better than the one before the
last. but it has certainly failed to
give general satisfaction. | believe
this country is fully committed to
the principal Of protection. but it is
to protection as a principal, to pro-
lection primarily in the interest of
the standard of living of the Ameri-
can workingmen.
What we want is a square deal in
the tariff as in everything elsa
square deal for the wage Garner, a
square deal for the employer and a
square deal for the general public
To obtain it we must have a thor
oughly efficient and we'll equipped
tariff commission.
do not want to see a tariff COM
mission composed of one political
party of one profession or one
trade. but | do want to see a tar fl
commission composed Of experts
who can be entrusted with the work
of finding out the truth about the
tariff and telling it to the public"

ROOSevelt'S Position

In an interview with Col. RooSe-
welt at Sioux Falls Saturday; the
ArguS-Leader secured a number of
interesting statements from the
Colonel in regard to his position on
the political situation in the republi-
can party today. The Argus-Leader
quotes Mr. Roosevelt as saying that
he is a progressive, not an insurgent,
and he himself defines the differ
ence. He says An insurgent is a
progressive who exceeds the speed
limit, one with the bride off,"
AS a result Of the interview the
Argus-Leader sizes up the situation
as follows: That Col. Roosevelt is a
progressive in the best sense of the
word, that he desires to gather
under one banner the sane, level
headed insurgents and the progress
sive stalwartS, eliminating the fire.
brands on the one hand and the
moss hacks on the other. That he is
opposed to the reelection of Cannon
as Speaker, that he is also opposed
to the demand of the insurgents for
a general revision of the tariff. He
agrees with President Taft that the
schedules which are wrong should
be revised, but that a wholesale re-
vision would cause too great a
business upheaval.
Col. Roosevelt, in direct advice to
the republicans OF South Dakota,
admonished them 70 stuck together
on the election or Gov. Vessey and
Congressman Burke and Martin and
the whole ticket, regardless of what
a few disconnected partisans might
say to the contrary. The democrats
of the state are busily copying
articles from two or three disgrunt-
led lnsurgent to editors the effect
that the progresslveS should not
vote for Burke and Martin, in an
~effortto convince their readers that
that is the stand taken by the whole
progressive wing of the party, but
it is only necessary to point to the
majorities piled up by Burke and
Martin at the primaries TO combat
any such tommy-rot.
The Argus Leader sizes up the
object of Col. Roosevelt's western
trip as a desire to gather under a
safe and sane leadership all republi-
cans who desire to progress in the
right direction and to put a curb on
those who are inclined to exceed
the speed limit"

Big Yields In Bates

The biggest yields that we have
heard of so far this year come from
Bates township. Jake Fisher thresh-
ed 55 acres of wheat from cornstalk
land that made the remarkable yield
of II bushel and 3 pecks per acre.
He still has 50 acres of the same
kind Of ground to thresh yet and he
says it is just as good. On the stub
BILE ground he is expecting a yield of
from Is to l8 bushels. Mr. Fisher
explains the large yield on the corn
stalk ground by the fact that the
early snow last fall caught him with
a good portion of his corr l.. the
field so he was unable to let mis- cat
tie run IN the stalks. They stood
high and thick and the snow banked
in several feet deep covering the
ground so completely thu it did not
freeze at all and when the thaw
came this spring a good share of the
water soaked into the ground and
was stored there as a reserve sup
ply during the dry spell. Mr. Fred
Bell also had a big yield of 26 bush
els per acre from ground that was
practically in the same condition as
that just described. Mr. Fisher tells
US that his corn crop is good too and
that the good showers of the 18th of
August will be sufficient tn bring it
to maturity in good shape Yves

Auto Accident At Pierre

Pierre, Sept. 3.-An automobile
belonging to Max Kerr, occupied by
Jack Bates and G. H. Jaynes. smash
ed into an obstruction in one of the
principal streets in this city Thurs
day night. The occupants were
thrown for 20 feet, falling in the
road and the machine was nearly
demolished. Bates was driving in
darkness which enveloped completely
the steam shovel. property of |.
Fanebust & Sons, contractors, which
has been used in the grading of the
streets. The headlights of the auto
failed to disclose the shovel, which
was arelessly left in the middle of
the street without a danger signal
of any kind.
Mr. Jaynes received the more Sc
we're fall but luckily escaped without
serious injury, although he is seri.
ously handicapped at present and
will be for a few days. The machine
was being driven carefully at slow
speed and the accident was due alone
to the lack of lights on the shovel.

THE BEST FAIR
IN THE WEST
Better Exhibits, More Machinery,
Better Races and the Only
Derby i'm the West

Are you going to the State FAIR!
Only a few days more to make up
your mind, and, while it is import
ant to the Fair, and to your fellow
citizens who are vitality interested
in its success, 1t is even more import
ant to yourself to decide right.
South Dakota has never given,
South Dakota has never e such a
fair as this one. In number and in
volume the exhibits, the races and
the entertainment will be double all
former fairs; in quality they are not
to be compared. Above all else, you
should see the great South Dakota
Derby on Monday, Sept. 18th, the
opening day of the Fair, the only
one in the West. Remember that
both Iowa and Nebraska started
Derbys but neither of them filled
with starters. What those two COM
paratively old and rich states could
not do, the young State of South
Dakota has accomplished. 1t is an
earnest Of the states determination
to distance her older sisters n other
respects.

ALL READY FOR
COUNTY FAIR
Hand County's Annual Exhibition
To Begin Today At Fair
Grounds

Today is the opening day of the
Hand County Far and the fair
grounds east Of the city have assum-
ed a busy appearance in conse-
quence. Two large tents have been
erected one for the agricultural ex"
hibits and one for the ladies depart
ment. and everything is in readi-
ness for a first ella IS exhibition.
The ladies' department, under the
management of MeSdames II. K.
Schroeder, and Port McWhorter,
will, as usual, be one of the most
interesting features of fair. The
ladies in charge of the different
departments have taken hold of the
matter and will have some exhibits
very well worth seeing.
The management has decided this
year to have all the attractions at
the fair grounds instead of distri-
buted about Main street as former
ly, and the electric light company
has been busy for sometime wiring
the grounds in preparation. The
carnival company has all of its
attractions out there, and with the
aid of about $50 electric lights, the
grounds will assume quite a metro
politan appearance at night. No
admission will be charged t. the
grounds in the evening. as the
management merely has the carnival
out there to attract more attention
to the fair, itself.
The race horses are en- the grounds
and the track events are looked for
ward to with much interest. The
advertised program for today pro-
vides for a 300 minute trot, a 2:22
pace, and a half mile running race.
No one who is interested in the
welfare of the county should miss
Vattending the fair all three days.

A student of the political situation
in this country at the present time
could find much of interest in COM
pairing the receptions accorded by
the insurgent west to the two men
most in the public eye today. And
if the newspaper accounts are to be
taken as accurate the receptions
compared most favorably. allowing
for difference in the temperments
of the two men. The welcomes
accorded to Roosevelt n like the
ma. breezy, enthusiastic and typi=
caily western. while to President
Taft they were perhaps no less
cordial, but decidedly more conser-
vative. The people of the west feel
that Col. Roosevelt. is peculiarly one
OF themselves and their admiration
for him rs a |" different Kind than
that accorded to any other man in
public life.

Latest Use For Autos

He makes it run the washing ma

of the auto was lacked up clear of

the hub so that i. acted a a drive
