NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT MATTERS
 >OF A GENERAL AND LOCAL NATURE

in this country seems to be increas-
 ing in proportionate rate with the price of foodstuffs.
 It is possibly because tho newspapers are casting aside the yellow which pre- vailed few years ago and are producing better. and more nutritious quality of mental food.
 Only last week an afternoon paper in Birmingham-the old established Birming- ham News-was sold to two well-trained and equipped Alabama newspaper men and their friends within their own fami- lies for over third of a million dollars.
 It is well indeed that this good news paper upon the death of it's able and beloved editor and owner, should pass into the hands of men who understand a newspaper and will continue it on high and broad planes.
 A short time ago Charles A. Dana, perhaps the greatest editor America has produced since Greeley, died The New York Sun then went into the hands of Dana's associate, William Laffan, who conducted it thoroughly in the footsteps of Dana, assisted, of course, by Lord and Mitchell. who were with Dana for twenty years or more.
 ed Richard V. Oulahan, for many years it's Washington correspondent, as MT. Laffan's successor as publisher and gem eral director of The Sun. Than Oulahan there is no abler nor better trained news paper man in this country, and if the present owners of this publication con- tinue The Sun will be as 1t has always been.
 But now comes w. J. Arkell. the man who published Judge so many years, and who made it the greatest paper of It's kind in the world.
 Arkell, whose real home is at Conajo- harie, N. Y.. spent ssco in cabling to Mir. Theodore Roosevelt, urging him to assume the editorship of The Sun and agreeing to buy The Sun if Roosevelt would &C., cept the commission and name his own salary. Arkell immediately offered the Laffan estate s2,0oo.Oo0 cash for the paper. The Laffan representative replied that they had already refused s3,500,00O. It is said that Arkell and his associates would perhaps go up to s4o0o,0o0 for the prop erty if Roosevelt would accept the editor ship.
 Much of the stock of The Sun is owned by some of the high financiers of Wall street. notably MT. J. P. Morgan, who was for many years the close personal and business associate of the late MT. Laffan. Indeed MT. Laffan was MT. Nor gan's right bower, so to speak, in the selection of the art treasures contained in MT. Morgan's private gallery.
 These old associates of MT. Laffan in the ownership and policy of The Sun are said to be intensely opposed to this great newspaper getting into the hands of those who would seek the rantanker- ous though brilliant ex-President to be- come it's editor So The Sun may con- sssss

1t means that the republicans are
ashamed of the measure 1t means
that the law is not a fultillment of
the party's promises to give the
country genuine revision of the Gus
toms laws. 1t remains to be seen
what effect this action of the republi-
cans of Indiana will have on the party S
chances for success in the state. 1t
may be that the probability of victory
will be enhanced by the implied
admission that the law is not what
it should be and by the implied feel
ing among Indiana republicans that
if they can have their way there will
be real revision. But the party s
chances might have been improved
by making an out-and-out fight
against Aldrichism. In these days
the party most assured of victory is
the one that isn't afraid to meet an
issue squarely, get on the right side
of a question and stay there to the
end, no matter how such action affects
the reputation of some of the party
leaders.

within such narrow limits.


Indiana republicans, by the same
act, express disappointment with the
national administration, and perhaps
more specifically with the president.
The demand has been that Taft ''do
Something" Nor is this demand con-
fined to the state of Indiana, nor to
the states of the northwest, but out
groupings of the same sentiment are
widespread in New England as well
as in the Mississippi valley.
The Payne tariff law, the only &C
complishment of the Taft administra-
tion by which a measure of service
can be determined, is proclaimed a
failure and demand is made for its
reform. If not to be condemned out
right, it is to be left to make it's own
lonely search for its friends. 1t is
not accounted worthy 10 pass muster
even among republicans who, in the
past, have felt compelled to give
certificate OF character and efficiency
to any law which a majority of their
party In congress could squeeze
through regardless of where that
majority came from or what interest
it represented.
The edict has gone forth from Ind i.
ana republicans concerning the Payne
law: cit is not our child"
What next?

State OF South Dakota
Executive Chambers
A Proclamation.

Whereas, the annual observance OF
Arbor Day has encouraged the senti-
ment in favor of tree culture, not
only for the purpose of adorn-
ment but for it's economic value as
we'll, and,
Whereas, the springtide chimes Of
another year are now sounding
throughout the land and earth's
bea utiful symbols of generation and
rejuvenation are again in evidence;
Mother Nature shyly whispers to US
her secret and the story she tells is
sweet to our ears and gladdening to
our hearts. She asks our assistance
and it should be freely and joyfully
given, for by assisting her we advance
ourselves. The planting of trees and
the cultivation of flowers and shrub
berry is conducive to real home-making,
and upon the home are the hopes of
the nation builded. We need the
trees, not only do they protect the
soil, conserve the moisture, afford
shelter and shade to the beasts and
birds, but they are a delight to the
eye and solace to the heart of man
kind.
Now, Therefore, l, Robert S. Vessey
Governor of the Commonwealth of
South Dakota, do hereby issue this
proclamation designating and setting
apart, as Arbor Day.
FRIDAY, APRIL 22ND, 1910,
to be dedicated to the planting of
trees and to the dissemination of in
formation which may cause the citi-
zens of this state to realize the i'm
portance of having trees around their
homes, along the streams, and in the
cities and towns. .-fwould especially
recommend that appropriate exer-
cises be held in all the public schools
throughout the state and that trees
and shrubs be planted upon the school
house grounds.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State, at the Capitol in
Pierre, this End day of April, A. D. 1910.

Indiana Has Spoken.

Sioux City Tribune: Some time ago
it was told by Washington cores
pondents that great efforts were to be
made in those states where insur-
gency has raised it's head to quell it,.
A list of speakers was given who were
to perambulate the region and con-
vert insurgents to orthodoxy. Spe-
officially, me of the correspondents
informed his paper that:
I'm the Sixtieth congress Indiana
had seven republicans and six demo-
Gratis. In the Sixty-frst it had IL
democrats and two republicans. In
diana Is rampant with insurgency and
in the Hoosier state republicans have
their hardest row to hoe. Into the
campaign there the republicans will
send their heaviest oratorical artil-
lery, the big men oA3he party
Indiana made answer yesterday to
this insolent purpose of the steam
rollers. Its republican convention
adopted resolutions that ring true
and fling defiance to the congressional
committee. 1t virtually dares it to
send it's speakers there to swerve the
voters from the kind of republicanism
it's platform declares.
1t repudiateS with emphasis the
tariff which Mr.. Taft declared "the
best ever enacted by a republican con-
gress." 1t recognizes the virility OF
the issue, derides the notion that it
was settled by the p. A. T. tariff, and
steadily demands redemption of the
Chicago pledge by the creation of a
capable commission to ascertain that
difference in cost Of production which
must be the basic principle of the
next revision.
1t voices in diplomatic, but unmis
taxable language, the feeling that is
SO general of disappointment in the
course of Mr.. Taft, while retaining
confidence in the integrity of his pur
pose. This is expressed in the state.
ment of the confidence felt in him on
entrance in Office and the conditional
pledge to support him in his advocacy
of all genuine progressive policies
AS If to give point, if it were needed
it expressly approves of the position
taken by Senator Beveridge on the
tariff bill and Of his vote against it.
BY this action of the Indiana re
publican convention insurgency
crosses the Mississippi and invades
territory hitherto held by the stand
patters as their own by divine right
Instead of awaiting the attacl
threatened, it advances It's frontiers
and throws up defenses. 1t is incred
ible that in the face of what has hap
pened, in face of this fresh demon
stration of the force, the energy ant
the determination of progressive re
publicans, there should exist a pur
pose among the leaders to suppress it
even hope that they can.

What has Indiana Done.

S. G. Tribune e-Hoosierdom, re-
presented in republican state conven-
tion yesterday, spoke in two-fold pur-
pose, but what did it mean? Silent
on the Payne-Aldrich tariff law by
name, but vociferous in applause of
Senator Albert J. Beveridge, who
voted against it and who yesterday
had the courage to speak against it
before the constituency which holds
his political fortunes in its hands.
"I was against it then and 1 am
against it now," was his bold repudia-
tion of it.
The contest between the jadherents
of the Taft administrationin Indiana
and Senator Beveridge, who is can
didate for reelection or his record,
has ended in defeat for the admins
tration and such endorsement for
Beveridge as seldom comes to a man
after fight terminating as did the
struggle against the enactment of
the new tariff law.
In direct face of the fact that the
enactment has been approved by the
administration, Indiana, first in the
group of middle western states north
of the Ohio river to express it's judg-
ment, leaves the law without a de-
fender and makes gallant defense of
that laws's antagonist.
While this is in itself significant,
presenting precedent for other mid
die and northwestern states, which
have recently been courageously inde-
pendent in matters of legislation, it
would not be stating the whole case
to confine the meaning of the incident

SHALL MINNESOTA DO?


From une Minneapolis Journal:
The republicans of Indiana not only
refused to endorse the Payne tariff
in their platform yesterday, preferr-
Ing to be silent on the subject, but
they wildly applauded the declaration
Of Senator Beveridge that he was
against the bill then and he is against
it now. This is an open hint to the
organization in congress which push
ed the bill through that the insurgent
states are not to be Modified with
anything less than real revision
downward.
The republicans of Minnesota should
be prepared to say something upon
the Payne tariff, and probably as
good thing as they could say would
be that the bill was betrayal of the
pledges Of the party made possible by
the fact that the party pledges were
not as definite in words as they we're
in the minds of the voters. The
party should declare clearly for real
tariff revision downward, and should
demand that hereafter tariffs be
made on scientific basis.

Indiana Points The Way.
SHOWS STATESM ANSu HIP.

From The Lincoln Journal: The
Indiana republicans point the way to
party harmony and party success at
the coming elections. Without break
ing with the national administration,
they indicate the way it should 60 to
win the approval of the country, and
promise to give it their united and
enthusiastic help. This convention
shows that statemenship EXISTS in In
diana. The platform and the pro-
ceedings mark Senator A. j. Beveridge
as leader upon whom the republi-
cans of the nation are likely to rely
with more and more confidence in the
coming years.
MERELY STOOD PAT.
From the St. Paul Dispatch: All
that the people OF Indiana did was to
reassert their position with regard to
the tariff as they assumed it prior to
the election, and have a right to hold
today. The trouble is not with them
or with those who sympathize with
them. The trouble is in Washington
where the rank and file have weakly
submitted to the domination of few
men who have not kept faith with
the people. Whatever of party men
ace there may be in the present situa-
tion is chargeable to the weakness of
the, great body of congressman who,
either through incapacity or incom-
potency or for the sake OF securing
personal advantage through the favor
Of the leaders, have failed to stand for
that which their constituents demand.

From the Cedar Rapids Gazette:
The failure of the republicans of
Indiana to specifically indorse the
new tariff law will make it rather
difficult for any congressman or cabi-
net officer or any one else to go on the
stump and unequivocally commend
the administration. In this case
silence does not mean Endorsement.
