WASHINGTON

lAuutinucN from flieA rage
which Mr.. Taft has made the center
Of his efforts and policy, there is
every likelihood that he will either
be defeated. or win thru Democratic
aid. Roosevelt was blamed for fight
ing and getting into the same box
now Taft's peaceful attempt TO get
along with c. A. & Co. seems 10 be
leading in the same direction. IL Is
too soon yet 10 tell for sure. but
things certainly seem 10 be going that
way. We shall see later
Added to these unpleasant features.
Cannon has lost his head and begun
open threats against the men who
have found that they will have 90
drop him overheard, or go over with
him. Many a Republican has found
that his district simply viii not stand
for another term of Cannon, and has
promised that he will not vote for
the present Speaker tor another term.
II is not strange that Mr.. Cannon
does not like this. and he is cussing
mad. At a dinner OF the new Republi-
can Congressional Committee In
Washington Friday night he entered
suddenly and made a speech. in which
he declared that the whole party,
with all its members and all Its
works, must stand or fall together,
and added that any man who did
not fight II out that way would GER
tainly be defeated What he means
is this, In straight talk:-"Certain
men are hoping to get reelected by
announcing that they viii not support
me Cannon. Let me tell them that
] expect that they will stand by me,
and II they don't ] will see they are
defeated If possibly can arrange It,"
That is what he meant. IL not what
he said, and If you will read thru
his actual remarks carefully, you
will see that meaning behind them.
Naturally there was a fuss, and
some of the members of the Commit
tee, especially some who cannot hope
for reelection unless they promise TO
vote against Cannon, were angry. AS
matter Of fact they had a good
right to be, for there is nothing in
party honor which compells the whole
party to stand by a man who has dis
graced it, or TO shelter with its
strength and reward with its wealth
any hanger-on who may come in and
declare that he Is a member OF that
party. And yet that was about what
Cannon was asking for 1t is safe TO
say that this outburst has not help
ed him. 1t has simply shown how bad
ly scared he was, and is an encourage
ment to his enemies.
While all these things have been
going so badly for the Republican
party, Pres Taft has strengthened his
position in at least one line. He
heard that the Senate was waiting
for something to do, till the House
passed the appropriation bills. He
at once sent for some leading
and suggested that while
they were waiting they should pass
the postal saving bank bill. They pro-

THE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE

II is widely believed thruout this
great nation of ours. that the Noun
tain people of Kentucky are in many
ways the most uncivilized people in
the world. We are indeed sorry that
the Mountain people are misrepre-
scented so many times.
IL is true that there are more
drunkards than teachers in the noun
tains. Is 1t not also true that there
are ten times as many drunkards as
teachers in any of the American cit
les? Are there any bowling alleys,
dancing halls, theaters, pool rooms.
skating rirks, or race tracks in the
mountains of Kentucky? Is there a
Tammany society in the mountains
OF Kentucky? Do the officers of the
elections, in the mountains of Kentuc-
ky vote men who have been dead
twenty years as was done in the
city of Philadelphia? Is there any
corrupt political machines in the
mountains of Kentucky such as in
Cincinnati under the leadership Of
Boss Cox, and in Frankfort, Kentucky,
under the leadership of J. C. w.
Beckham? Are there so many burg
lars in the mountains of Kentucky
that every family must have paddock
an6 key and savage bull dog TO
make it secure in person and pro-
perity?
Kind critic of the mountains of
Kentucky, can you answer these ques-
tions correctly and give logical rea-
sons for your answers? ] shall not
hesitate to give my answer and rea-
sons. While l am a Kentucky noun
tain man and more proud of having
the distinction of being a Kentuckian
and not a high-headed stiff necked
millionaire. and having plodded over
many of the Kentucky hills barefoot
ed, and having become acquainted with
great number Of the mountain peo-
pie and also having had the opportuni-
ty of being In a few cities and learn
ing something of city life, / think
| ought to be able TO make a very
good comparison of the mountain peo-
pc with the people of the cities. No.
these things do not exist in the noun
tains of Kentucky. The reason is
due to the honesty of tho people
But you will want 20 know why the
people are more honest than the
people Of the cities. First, the people
of the mountains are descendants of
the people of Virginia hence are
less mixed race of people than are
to be found anywhere else in this
country. Second, they live in the
very heart of nature where they can
hear tho songs of the sweet singing
birds, the ripping of the brooks, the
whistling Of the quails, the boot of
the owl, and the signing Of the breeze
among the branches of the trees.
They can knccl by the ever-flowing
fountain at the foot of the hill and

JUSTICE FULLER'S SCHOOLING.
Washington Times: Chief Justice
Fuller vas a type of lawyer and jur-
list that is rapidly fading from Amer
ican history. He was the delving,
searching, student type. Into his
cases he threw the best there was in
him. When he was a young man
judicial sign posts were scarce The
profession had not adopted the
precedent" method of fighting and
deciding cases, perhaps because the
country was not old enough to have
established principles for the young
lawyer to follow. Today the law
yer turns to Texas, to California, to
Maine, to Pennsylvania, to Iowa and
to every other corner of the nation
for help in building up his cases ano
the jurist turns to Mississippi, to
New York, to Wisconsin, to Missouri,
to Colorado, and to any other tate
whose decisions are handy in decid-
ing it. The lawyer takes a little
of this man and a little of that, and
the judge takes a little of another
and a great deal OF someone else,
and between them they arrive at an
opinion.
In the days when Chief Justice
Fuller was a young man graphing
with legal problems such practices
were of minor instead of major i'm
portance. AS a lawyer fighting for
his client and as a juage upon the
bench, such me as Fullen went into
their W minds and built their own
intellect into their. cases. I It. was
hard work, but when it was over
the man had been broadened, in
structed and made to comprehend
the everlasting conviction the prin-
ciples involved.

NEXT LAND OPENING
TO BE DELAYED
Dakota Reserve tracts Won't be SUBJ
ject to Disposal for Year
or MoRe.

Washington, July s. James w.
Witten, special agent of the land Of
flee, who has supervised the drawing
for Indian lands for the past several
years, says that none Of the lands in
the Dakota reservations which were
authorized to be opened in the recent
session Of congress would be subject
to disposal for at least a year.
"a portion of the F"rt Retho,a
lands in North Dakota are still AN
surveyed said Judge Witten. The
survey must be completed before the
lands can be classified, as provided
in the act. Following the classified
ton allottments must be made and
the state will be allowed to make its
selections of school lands.
I'm the Pine Ridge, Cheyenne Riv-
or in Rosebud reservations in South
Dakota the classification must be
made, and some of the Indians must
receive their allmottments. AS with
the Fort Behold lands the state will
be allowed to make selections OF
school lands, all of which will take
much time. Under these conditions
it will be impossible to dispose Of any
of these lands for probably a year.
The usual plan Of registering and
drawing will be followed in opening
these reservations.

meeting of the Commercial club was
called Tuesday evening to discuss a
made by a Mr.. Moore.

The proposition made is to sell

understanding that the stock amount

The proposition met with the hearty
approval Of everyone who was at the

farmers this week. Since the burn

has been none on the Milwaukee

FIR STATE FIREMEN
Pass Rules Conductive to More In.
terests in Contests - Also
.~ More Speed.

Mitchell, S. D., July AT the
election of the officers of the board
of control Of the firemens' tourna-
ment held at Chamberlain, a COM
plete change was made by the fire
men when the old board was elimin-
ated from further management OF
the association. The following Off
cers were elected: President, John
Latta Of Pierre; vice-presidents, F..
]. Murphy of Mitchell, and John Nc
Bride of Lead; secretary, Henry
Mussman of Chamberlain; treasurer,
A. A. Grant of Yankton.
Some eve years ago complaint
was filed with the board of control
by some of the departments which
were unable to produce. fast run
ners to compete in the hose contests
that their men did not have a fair
show in the race against men who
wore spiked running shoes, and used
other parphernalia of the speedie-
men. At that the board sided with
the smaller departments and passed
a law eliminating the spikes from
all contests. AS a result many of
the departments dropped from the
contests and these have been tame
practically every year. At this time
a new board of control was elected
which will stand for the use Of spik-
ed shoes and anything else which
will contribute to men being fast in
the traces. Efforts will be made
through this action to restore the in
terest of a number of towns which
have dropped from the state associa-
ton, and bring a larger number OF
towns into the tournament in the flu
ture. At the January meeting OF
the board of control the next location
of the tournament will be determin-
ed. This is usually put up to the
highest bidder, and the case has been
frequent wherever $1,000 has been
paid for the privilege of entertaining
the firemen.

STANLEY COUNTY PUZZLE.

Pierre, July 9.-The county COM
missioners of Stanley county have
set the 18th Of this month as the
date when they will finally decide
in what n they will dispose OF
the petitions or county division in
that county. The petitions asking
for different plans of division are
80 numerous that the commissioners
are puzzled as to the method OF
submission. The petition carrying
the largest number of names IS
backed by Philip boosters, and asks
for the cutting off of more than
half of the county on the west and
the creation of the county of Iowa.
A second petition asks for the re-es-
tablishment of the old county OF
Jackson, in the southwest part OF
Stanley, which would give some OF
the ambitious towns along the Mil.
wankee road an opportunity to Sc,
cnre county seat honors. The third
asks that the old county of Sterline
he re-established in the northwes.
corner of Stanley, which would re
ate a county without a railroad and
open the way for the numerous lit
tie prairie towns in that section
10 fight among themselves for coun-
1y. seat honors. The commissioners
will first have to decide in what
manner they will submit the differ
ent questions. With so man. con
f!lcting interests the indications do
not look particularly bright for any

ty, with the probabilities that It will

ENIGMA OF FIGHT MADNESS.

Denver News: For the last few
days the newspapers have been rep
r~esenting the entire nation as fight
mad. However regrettable this meA-
tai condition of people may be, it
nevertheless is a fact, it is a psyche
logical phenomenon that has Its
mystery as we'll as it's fascination.
The men who denounce prizefights
as brutalizing, who believe they are
right, and undoubtedly are right,
themselves neglecting their duties
to stand in glazing sun and choking
dust to read bulletins of the fights
by rounds. .justice of the supreme
court is astof1fshed when he rubs ell
bows with an elder Of the church,
and he reads pain, surprise and CEN
sure in the clerical gentlemans' eyes.
If they discuss the fight they prab-
ably agree that it is brutalizing and
degrading.
There is a mystery difficult to
solve.
When we analyze the question we
are prone to make some trite re-
marks about admiration of courage,
of tenacity Of purpose, of skill in
any line. 1t is an explanation that
does not explain. We have not pen
etrated even the surface of the eng
; ma.
Two thousand years ago myriad
men and ONE watched the glad
iators shedding one another's blood
and applauded with %insance ardor.
In Paris today men and women will
follow a dueling party for miles to
witness, if possible, the sword thrust
that exacts a human life.
There is the mystery of death in
that. Not SO with a prizefight.
Gladiatorial contests have gone
the way of human sacrifice, and
duelling has almost disappeared
from the earth. The only relic OF
the duel in this country is the Ken.
lucky feud, and the days of the feud
are numbered.
The lure of bloodletting may b.
founded on primeval instincts tina,
have survived from the brute world
but whatever the cause, the lure i!
lessening. Civilized men have los
the desire to see men in the throe,
of death. That fascination has los
its hold. This Transformation un
d%oubtedly marks a moral victory fol
the whole race, and it points tn.
way to another and the final trump,
over brutal instincts.
