WANT CANNON RETIRED.

The recently adopted platform Of
the progressive wing Of the republt-
can party of South Dakota says Ia
part:
I'VE commend President Taft for
his declarations of loyalty to the
Roosevelt principles of progressive
republicanism and pledge his admin
istration the support of the progress
sive republicans of South Dakota.
THE dominating issue in the COM
ing campaign Is the wrestling OF con-
trol of national legislation from spe-
cial interests entrenched behind
Speaker Cannon of the house and
Leader Aldrich of the senate, and
their supporters. 1t Is not sufficient
that Speaker Cannon be retired. 1t
Is essential that a successor be cleo
ted who Is committed to and is q
supporter of progressive principles.
The progressive republicans of South
Dakota will not support a candidate
for the primary who does not stand
unequivocally ON this platform.
I'VE believe the Payne tariff law
was a decided step in fulfillment Of
the party pledges, but that inequali-
ties yet exist which should be rene
died when demonstrated to be such
by the investigations of the tariff
commission.
I'VE denounce the practice of col
lecting moneys for political campaign
purposes from persons who hold or
are aspiring to appointive govern
ment positions and favor the prohi-
bition thereof by amendment OF the
corrupt practice act"

ASSESS BY OLD SYSTEM.

That there will be no radical
change in the methods of assess
ment in the counties of the state
for the coming year, that a liberal
compliance with the law requiring
assessment at full valuation would
place an intolerable burden on the
taxpayers. that public policy demands
that this law be held In allegiance,
that the present system Is hopelessly
inadequate and that effective and
ed until better system can be pro
vided and resolution that the next
legislature create a tax commission
to investigate conditions in other
states, was the result of the meet
ing Of the committee on revenue and
taxation which has been In session
at Boise recently.
The committee consists of Cover
nor James H. Brady, chairman; State
Auditor S. d. Taylor, secretary; At
torney General S. d. McDougall,
County Commissioner John D. Rob-
ertson of Weiser, C. T. Harte Of
Rupert and T. c. Bell of Standpoint
After discussing ways and means to
relieve the present conditions and
deciding upon plans to harmonic the
decision of the supreme court with
the present system of assessment
and of determining basis of assess
ment fer the present year, subcom-
mittee of three was appointed to
confer with the county commission
ers and assessors of the state, as
to the best plan of action for the en-
suing year.
The committee has prepared plans
which it urges the county officials
to follow as best they can so that
the best results possible can be oh
tanned under the present system. The
governor, auditor and attorney gen
eral were not on this subcommittee,
as they sit as a board of equalization
later and could not consistently make
the suggestions and then pass ON
them later in the year, when they
begin eQualiZing.

LET STRIFE BE AVOIDED.

1t is the earnest hope of every pub
lie spirited citizen of the town that
strife be avoided in the selection of
site for the new school building
Difference of opinion, owing to the
fact that a site In both the east
and west part of the city has been
secured, is bound to come to the sur
face but all fair-minded men and
women wish to settle the question
without endangering the best inter
ests of the town. fractional fights,
controversy over trivial matters and
strife between the residents of one
part of town and another are detri-
mental in the extreme and every eff
fort should be exerted to avoid them
in Grangeville.
1t is well known fact that every
small town, practically, passes
through such differences of greater
or lesser magnitude, but such never
promotes a city in the eyes of the
outsider. In the selection of a site
for the new building every desire for
individual gain should be forgotten
and the matter settled in a manner
from which the greatest possible
good to the municipality will result.
Perhaps no controversy will occur
and The Globe sincerely hopes that
it will not but inasmuch as several
citizens have expressed the desire
that such strife be avoided 1t is
thought best to calmly agitate the
more sensible mode of settlement.

A NOVEL. COYOTE TRAP.

A Heppner, Oregon, farmer goes
on record as the originator of a
unique scheme for the determination
of the coyote pest. He secures a
pole several feet in length, sharpens
it and places it in the ground with
the pointed end up. Over the pole is
a ring large enough that 1t will work
easily. To this, by q chain, is at
tached a common cat Outside the
circle the cat can reach, a number
of traps are placed. The farmer
then mounts a horse and, riding out
mile or so, lets down piece of
fresh meat and drags it TO the pole
The coyote comes skulking along and
hits the trail, following it to the pole.
When he sees the cat, which is quite
delicacy with him, he loses his
customary caution and makes a dive
for it. The cat goes up the pole.
In his eagerness, the coyote races
around the pole and gets his foot in
to a trap, attached to block Of
wood, and he forgets the cat and
drags off the trap until it gets caught
in the brush, and here the farmer
finds him the next day. There being
no place for the cat to sit ON the
sharp end of the pole, he soon comes
down and Is ready for another Wis
itor. In one night the farmer got six
coyotes and in six weeks 70. So far
he has not lost a cat.

HUGHES URGES HONESTY.

At the University of Pennsylvania
ON Washington's birthday Governor
Hughes, who delivered the principal
address, said In part:
THE problem of America today is
to secure honest and faithful perform
ance of public obligation. Important
questions constantly claim our atten-
ton, and 1t is easy, in the zeal of
political controversy and the debates
Of policy, largely to lose sight of the
simple requirements of fidelity in ad-
ministration.
But we can not afford to forget
that whatever the merit of executive
proposals, the final test must be
found in the character and purpose
OF public servants. We have been
sickened with the corruption that
rots public enterprise, and with the
spectacle of legislative halls and ad-
ministrative offices turned into mar
ket places, where the exercise of gor-
ernmental powers Is made the sub
ject of barter and sale.
1T will always be the glory of this
nation that at its very beginning it
was demonstrated In the character
of Washington that the ideals of
representative government are not
unattainable. That for which Wash
ington must be most admired is that
in which he can be mosteasilyfollow.

Before the Passion PLAY.

AS the time for the first production
approaches, the religious spirit of the
people deepens. The productions are
given several times a week during
every tenth summer. They continue
from May to September, and are now
going on. At seven o'clock the nights
preceding the performances, a band
of musicians marches from one end
of the town to the other Announcing
the next days performance, with the
intention of warning all those who
expect to attend to prepare for it. At
FIVE o'clock the next morning the
village cannon, placed at the foot Of
a high peak crowned with a large
cross which stands guard over the
town nesting at it's foot, calls all to
early mass, both villagers and visi-
tors, and they are expected to re-
spond.
At seven o'clock the musicians again
march through the town to warn
those who have no reserved seats that
they had better hasten to the theater.
At eight o'clock the cannon sounds
again, and the play begins. Before
the curtain is raised, the 500 who are
to take part join the pastor of the
church in silent prayer behind it, and
with this preparation the drama
opens-Harper's Bazaar.

The latter seems to be very descrip-
tive name. AS is more or less gen
orally known, the botanical family to
which the mustards belong also takes
in some very useful cultivated crops,
such as the turnip plant, the rape, cab
bage, caulif1ower and radish. The
hare's-ear mustard is one of the "black
sheep" of the family that bears con-
siderable resemblance in LEAKAGE to-
ward it's estimable cousin, the cab
bage plant, the leaves of the young
plant being f1eshy in appearance and
Of much the same color as the leaves
of young cabbage.
This is weed quite general
throughout the West, and spreading
rapidly. It bears a creaIny-white
flower about the end of June and rip
ems its seeds in August and Septem-
Der. The plant developes quite stiff,
wiry stem when ripe, and during it's
growing period it takes up consider
able room, crowding out other plants
and making heavy drain upon the
mo- .ure content of the SOIL

miles an hour and three or four farm
ers scared to DEATH
ooh, mol crawl along in one!" was
the reply.
The accent was on the crawl, and
Mr.. CranstOn smiled where he wanted
to grit his teeth. The immediate re-
suits of the antagonism were that
Miss Winnie determined to speed
whenever she went out on the road,
just to be independent, and Mr.. Grams
ton determined to crawl along, Just to
show that her jibe had glanced off his
armOr. Out of two hundred guests at
the big hotel, and out of twenty auto
lists these were the only two who felt
quarrelsOme. Other autOists would
come in after q spin and congratulate
Miss Winnie on her nerve and daring,
but Mr.. Cranston would sit there with
reprOof spread all over his face Other
ladies, old and young, who had been
out motoring would come back to
speak Of him as a sensible young man
for maintaining a slow and easy gait.
and a smile of contempt could be no.
ticed on a certain face for half an
hour after.
The best road from the hotel. and
the one invariably taken by the auto
lists, led to the west. Ten miles away.
at the foot of long hill, stood the
farmhouse Of one Mr.. Jones. There
were other farmhouses, but Mr.. Jones
was the farmer fated to become en-
tangled in the affairs Of the two
young persons. One day as Mr. Grams
ton had started out for crawl" and
as Miss Winnie had sped past him in
her usual manner, almost ticking his
wheels and looking straight ahead,
Farmer Jones held up his hand for
the "crawler" to stop and then said:
Does it happen that you know that
girl who went by here like a streak of
lightning a few minits ago?"
'Why. yes. She is stopping at the
Hill Top"
Say, now she ought to be sent to
JAIL Almost every day she comes
along here on the whizz and it's
enough to raise your hair. She's killed
three chickens, two geese and a
turkey She's knocked down a calf
and throwed a hog over the fence and
just now the wind of her machine
blew my hat off, You tell her that
she's got to stop it,

best work when the soil is moist and
yet not too sticky. This is frequently
within half-day's time after a rain
When the earth is in this state it
works the best, and the effects of
working it are fully as beneficial as
at any other time.
So much has been written and said
pertaining to the great benefits from
the use of the road drag that many
people beginning the use of it become
discouraged before they are we'll start
ed. They should not feel thus as it
often takes a whole season for the
road to become properly puddled and
baked to withstand the rains and
traffic. After a road has been worked
with drag only short time it is not
we'll to expect it to stand up to heavy
traffic during a continued damp spell
without being affected. However, it
will take far heavier traffic than most
earth roads receive to more than scuff
up the surface.
It is not we'll to consider the bene-
fits from a good road as solely con-
fined to heavy traffic, for there is no
doubt but that the time saved to light
vehicles and the greater pleasure de-
rived from their use over good roads
far surpasses the economy in heavy
hauling.

Automobile
Antagonists
By c. ARL JEN KINS

Phillip Cranston was driving his
automobile along a highway in the
Berkshires at a gait of ten miles an
hour and smoking a cigar to please
and soothe, when Miss Winnie Ora
ham appeared in a cloud of dust in an
other auto and whizzed by him at a
gait of 80 miles and missed MIN by
less than foot. They looked into
each others faces for a second, and
they felt immediate antagonism, one
to the other-he because she was
reckless and had her chin in the air,
and was good looking and knew it and
she because she saw reproof in his
eyes and had no patience with man
who would crawl along when he could
as easily fly.
They had been staying at the same
hotel for two days without seeing each
other. That evening they were intro
duced. They had the opportunity to
refer in laughing way to the incident
on the road, but neither of them did.
On the contrary, they bristled at each
other.
THAT young man thinks every girl
ought to be a poke, like his sisters, y
was the mental comment of the young
woman.
That person is wilful as we'll as
reckless, and rather conceited to
boot" was the mental comment of the
young man.
The antagonism was there and both
felt it, but they didn't groan and snarl
and threaten. Oh, no! They would
have done it in the days of Adam, but
times have changed. There was one
little outbreak of sarcasm as they chat
ted and sized up each other and
looked for trouble. Mr.. Cranston
quietly asked
Does it happen that you drive an
auto?''
There was an accent on the word
drive which meant thirty or forty

Call for DR.. Blank.

To have themselves publicly called
out of a crowded place of entertain
ment on the pretense that they are
urgently wanted by importunate pa
tients is stated to be one of the stock
methods of advertising resorted to by
young doctors who wish to build up
a practise. A budding physician tried
this device. He instructed his boy
to go to the doorkeeper of the theater
and say that patient of his was in
urgent need of attention.
Right you are, sir" said the serv-
ant, with solemn wink. ''You leave
it to me. I'll manage it all right"
But apparently the honest retainer
exceeded instruction in his zeal, for
at the end of the second act the man
ager appeared before the curtain and
made tbs announcement:
eff DR.. Blank is in the audience, ]
am requested to tell him that he Is
wanted at once, as the poor fellow
ne gave some physic to this afternoon
has been having fits ever since!"
