AIRSHiP BEATS CARRIER
PIGEONS IN A BIG RACE.

Amiens, France, Aug. 19.-
The first race between the birds
of nature and birds of mans pro-
duction took place in the course
of the great aerial cross country
competition and was easily won
by man. A flock of az carrier
pigeons was released at Douai
yesterday at the same instant
that lie Blanc in his Farman BIZ
plane started from the mark on
his So mile flight to Amiens.
Rushing without a tremor
through the calm air, the BIZ
plane soon outdistanced the
birds and when lie Blanc
reached Amiens the flock was
not yet in sight, the first pigeon
arriving six minutes and 20 Sec
onds after lie Blanc. Before the
last Of the flock had como in

at the same time as lie Blanc,
but consumed nine minutes
more on the trip, arrived. beat

a member of the class of 1906 of Dakota
Wesleyan and a graduate Of Garrett
Biblical institute last May. has been
recently elected to the presidency of

vancement and will be glad to join
Dakota Wesleyan in wishing he and
his wife, a Dakota Wesleyan girl, all
the success possible in their new
position. Mr.. Evans has, since grad
uating from Garrett Biblical, been
pastor of washington, s. D., which
place has acceptably filed.

INDIAN STEALS HORSE
WHICH HE TRADED OFF

Hayes, S. D., Aug. 15.-Rob-
.ert Gray, of this place, had an
interesting experience with
mixed blood Sioux Indian from
the adjacent reservation. While
in town the Indian bantered him
about trading horses, and final
ly Gray made trade with him.
The Indian left town with the
horse turned over to him by
Gray and that very night
sneaked back into town and
stole from Gray the horse he
had traded to him. The red
man then disappeared and now
no trace can be found of him or
the horse.

industries. As to Roosevelt
being a strong protectionist, :"
the inference that the result
would have been the same
had he been president, will
scarcely appeal to anyone who
accepts the past conduct of a
man as a basis for judging
his future action. 1t is well
to recognize the fact that be-
tween protectionists who fav-
ored a tariff only sufficiently
high to offset differentials on
foreign made goods, and pro-
tectionists who advocated and
secured the passage of a tariff
act so outrageously unjust as
to cause general suffering and
distress among consumers, for
the benefit of a few favored
interests, there is difference
as wide as the universe. To
imply that Roosevelt would
have aligned himself with the
Payne-Aldrich-Cannon combi-
nation in allowing legislation
that would submit the people
to the tender mercies of COM
mercial pirates, is imposing a
too great strain on the credul-
ity of those who have. for
many years respected the
ex Presidents commanding
quality moral courage.
Assuming that his honor
able successor did the best he
could in his efforts to fulfil a
party promise, we still con-
tend that there is a vast diff
ference in Presidents. Had
we some other incumbent of
less flexible will to deal with
the tariff making triumvirate,
there would have been no
concessions or compromise
short of an adjustment in the
interests of the people. There
is warrant for believing, that
Roosevelt would have come
nearer securing a square deal.

Schley was way off, both
times.-Tucson Citizen.
We don't imagine that the
reputation of Admiral Schley
any more than any other in
dividual in the world, will
suffer because of his guess on
the real discoverer of the
North Pole. We have been
under the impression, how
ever, that this particular ad-
miral was strictly on the job
when the Spanish feet sought
to escape from Santiago, so
much SO, as to cause the Am
erican people to hail him as
the real hero in command on
that particular occasion.
We recall that Admiral
Sampson was way off" at
that time, almost out Of the
signal zone, and was deeply
chagrined thereby. We hope
your guess on this incident
is wrong, Mr.. Editor, for we
are sure "poor old Admiral
Schley' would be panied to
find that he is to be deprived
of all that glory after enjoying
it so many years.

upon which Darwin had SO long been

led Darwin to the discovery of natu-

had led Wallace to the very thresh-

Western Sentiment on The
Tariff and Taft.

In deprecating the sentl.
ment expressed by the editors
of republican and independent
papers throughout the coun-
try on the subject Of Cannon,
ism and the Payne Aldrich
tariff, one of the stand-pat or
gans dismisses the matter in
this breezy fashion:
Gas for western sentiment
about the Payne tariff, that
tariff remains to be tried out,
and will be judged largely by
its workings. Much water
will run under the bridges be-
tween now and 1912, and it
is just as well to remember
that the vests idol, Colonel
Roosevelt, is a strong protec-
ZIONIST. '-Milwaukee Sentinel.
1t would be interesting to
know what length of time the
Sentinel might consider suffi-
cient to demonstrate the effect
of this tariff on the people at
large. That it has been de-
nounced from one end Of the
country to the other as a
measure that serves the trust
benefciaries to better purpose
than any tariff bill ever framed
in our national legislature;
that it has engendered a wide
breach in the republican par
tvs own ranks by reason of
that party's failure to reduce
instead of increase the tariff
in fulhlment of a solemn
party promise; that imme-
diately upon its operation the
prices of commodities gener-
ally assumed proportions un-
precedented in the history Of
the country are evidences
too insignificant for accept
ance by an "ltra-partisan or
gan, as indicative of public
opinion on the results of this
iniquitous law. The Sentinel
would perhaps advise waiting
until the last dollar of the con-
sumers' money had become a
part of the bloated treasures
of tariff benehciaries, before
pronouncing judgment a n d
writing its epitaph.

Partisanosis.

Judging from the rantlng
and fustian indulged in anent
the statehood situation by
some of the democratic press
of Arizona, it might not be
far amiss to insinuate that
they don't want statehood
Nogales Oasis.
The above opinion repre-
sents another case of the mod
ern affection readily disting-
Unstable as acute partisanosis.
1t exists generally through
out the country, in fact wher-
ever political measures are
being considered. In Arizona
it has almost reached the
proportions of an epidemic,
chiefly among the editors of
republican organs.
Its early symptoms are
manifested by a disposition
to attribute every evil happen
ing, including floods and earth
quakes, to the Vaccinations
of their political opponents,
and a persistent endeavor to
appropriate all the blessings,
not neglecting bountiful crops
and fair weather, as the AL
mighty's recognition of the
all-wise acts of their own
party.
Sufferers of this malady
are prone to examine the tag
on every legislative bill before
pronouncing judgment on its
qualities.
In this territory, the con-
sideration of a varied assort-
ment of statehood measures
is probably responsible for the
presence of this maladv in
such malignant form and as
the victims while in that state
are not susceptible to any
remedial measures, the pub
lie will have to treat them
with the indulgence accorded
other helpless unfortunates
whose unhappy plight excites
our compassion.
Unlike other mental dis
eases, its effects are felt most
keenly by those who possess
mental equipoise, the patients
themselves seeming to enjoy
freedom from physical suffer
ing, even an utter upcoscious-
ness of their affliction.
In its advanced stages, as
illustrated most notably by the
Bisbee Miner and the Arizona
Republican, it is character
lied by hysteria and halluci-
nations which render the sub
jects incapable of distinguish
ing between a bona hde state
hood bill and poorly dis
gulSed gold. DrlCk. With their
brand on the tag they accept
the real or the phoney with
ecstatic delight and proceed
to rend the air with denuncia-
ton of those who object to
having their pie loaded with
Tobasco sauce. II for any
reason a statehood measure
fails to pass at this session of
congress they will charge
Democrats with the respon-
sibility. Watch them.
