JUDGE CoNKLIN, that old ruffies on
mighty, who has done nothing the
past few years but hold office, or kick
because he did not hold one, is out
with a letter advising all stalwarts to
bolt the nomination of Gov. Vessey.
Conklin has made the rounds OF
political parties and political factions.
He is now a political orphan whom
no faction or party cares to own de

taching himself to any party from
which he could extract favor he
now advises stalwarts to bolt a
nominee named at primary in which
they took an active part, advice that
is worthy only of one who is entirely
lacking in principle. The trouble
with Conklin is that Crawford ana

The grain market went down the

the state against r. A. Reed on the
two charges of practicing surgery
without a license, and practicing
medicine without a license. The
defense set up the claim that the COM

the law governing osteopaths, instead
of under the medical law. The cases
are now to go before the supreme

conventions, farmers congresses m
stitutes and congresses that had for
their purpose the development OF
South Dakota and the betterment of
her people.
Governor Vessey has given the state
clean, business-like administration,
and as result, the affairs of the state
and our state institutions were never
before in as good condition.
Governor Vessey has repeatedly
iourneyed outside of the state to at
tend congresses. and he has always
been found boosting for the state over
whose people he presides as governor.
| call attention to the fact that his
speech delivered at the Farmers Con-
gress in Chicago, something like a
year ago, was referred to by Chicago
papers at the time, as the best speech
delivered at that congress on the sub
ject before the meeting This speech
partook of the nature of a general
boost for South Dakota, her people
and her resources, and attracted to
South Dakota, the attention of all
those who heard the speech and others
who read the report of the meeting.
Well may it be said that the people
of a state are judged by those who live
beyond its borders, by the quality of
the-man who presides over it as its
governor. Judged by this standard
those who dwell in other lands can
have no hesitancy in coming within
the borders of South Dakota to make
their homes. South Dakota has been
made a better and richer state by rea-
son of the fact that Governor Vessey
has been elected it's governor.
And now I want to say in conclu-
sion, that my purpose in asking for
the valuable space in your paper, is to
let others know who have not had the
opportunity that | have had to know
Governor Vessey well and to learn
what good work he is doing for the
state, that he is the only candidate
who is running for Office of governor
of our state, who is entitled TO con-
sideration at the hands of the voters
next November. Governor Vessey is
a good business man, and the expert
ence he has gained in serving the state
as its governor during one term will
enable him to make even bettefgov
ernor DUNG his second term.
Although, two years ago | support
ed the democratic candidate for gov
ernor, and although | have lived at
Rapid City and am well acquainted
with the democratic candidate who is
now seeking the votes of the people,
neverthe less shall support Cover
nor Vessey for re election, and urge
all voters who want good, honest,
straight man for governor, to oassist in
re electing Governor Vessey next Nov
ember by an overwhelming majority.

VESSEY SHOULD BE ELECTED

|
One of the interesting and import
ant developments of the present cam
paign in the state is a letter written
by Dr. Herman F. Rate, who was
elected a member of the 1909 legisla-
ture from Custer county on the dem
Ocratic ticket. DR.. Rate believes the
| best interests OF the state demand the
return of Governor Vessey as the head
of the state government for another
term, and in his letter he gives his
reasons why the governor should be
reelected at the election in November.
From a personal acquaintance with
the governor, and after observing his
course during the legislative session
and since that time, DR.. Rate does not
hesitate to recommend the reelection
of Governor Vessey. DR.. Rates letter
is as follows:

stood out in the open and made a
clear cut fight for what he thought
was for the best interest of the people

N0 MORE SEALSK|NS

The last consignment of sealskins from the Pribilof Islands reached san Francisco three weeks ago. The 2o years lease granted by the Unit. ed States government to tho North American Commercial Company has expired and no more sealing will be allowed, al least for the present
 The final shipment consisted of 66i skins. which will be forwarded to London to be prepared for the market. As they appeared when piled up in the warehouse the seal skins looked neither attractive nor valuable. but after their transform. ation in London they will represent value of several hundred dollars apiece
 The lease of the islands by the North American Commercial Com pany expired last April, and these skins were taken previous to that date by the force of men who have passed the winter on St George and St. Paul islands.
 From now on the government will have agents stationed on the islands to prevent poaching w. J. Lembke the government agent, has returned to the islands with supplies that will last the camp throughout the win ter
 It is reported that another Jap anese schooner narrowly escaped cap ture while it was poaching near the islands, and but for a dense fog which enveloped the poacher she would have been overhauled by the United States revenue cutter Ia homa.

 Meat pies are ordinarily baked in a fairly deep dish, the side of which may or may not be lined with dough. The cooked meat. cut into small pieces, is put into the dish, some times with small pieces of vegeta- bles gravy poured over the meat, the dish is covered with a layer Of dough. and then baked. Most com monly the dough is like that used for soda or cream-bisCuit but some times shortened pastry dough such as is made for pies, is used This is especially the case in the fancy in dividual dishes usually called patties Occasionally the pie is covered with a potato crust in which case the meat is put directly into the dish without lining the latter Stewed beef. veal. and chicken are probably most frequently used in pies, but any kind of meat may be used. or several kinds in combination Pork pies are favOrite dishes in many rural regions, especially at hog killing time, and when well made are excel lent.
 If pies are made from raw meat and vegetables longer cooking is needed than otherwise. and in such cases it is we'll to cover the dish with a plate, cook until the pie is nearly done, then remove the plate. add the crust, and return to the oven until the crust is lightly brown ed.

PecuIiarities of the Opossum.

The American opossum is one of the most curious animals living in the United States. It is the only one that carries it's young in a pouch like the kangaroo. It is the only animal that can feign death perfectly. It is remarkable for hanging by it's tail like a monkey. It has hands resem- bling those of human being Its snout is like hogs, while it's mouth is literally furnished with teeth. It's eyes are like rats, and it hisses like a snake.

HOW WAGES HAVE DECREASED

Although the workers receive a little more than actual cash for their labor than they did ten years ago, when the increased cost of provisions and the enormous advance in rents which have occurred are taken into consideration it will be found that the workers actually re- ceive less for their toll than they did in 1896.
