IN DEFENCE OF SHERMAN

tween Sherman and Taft.
Topeka, Aug. 5.--United States Sen.
ator Charles Curtis left this afternoon
for Muskogee, where he was called by
the inquiry commission in response to
his offer to testify in regard to the
allegations made by Senator Gore
Thursday. Senator Curtis will take
the stand either Saturday or Monday.
Senator Curtis said before he left
Topeka:
81 shall tell the committee that
President Taft sent for Vice President
Sherman and myself to discuss this
Indian matter and as a result of that
conference and acting on the advice Of
Mr.. Sherman and myself the presi-
dent decided he would not open the
rolls nor would he further consider
the matter of placing his approval on
the contract with the lawyers McMur-
ray and Long for the big fee claimed
in the sale of Indian lands. This con-
ference with President Taft should
alone set at rest any further consid-
Grafton of the vague charges made by
Senator Gore in this matter. We have
proof beyond the shadow of doubt as

THE ANANIAs CLUB REoPENS.

as Member.

New York, Aug. 5.-Colonel Theo.
dore Roosevelt has added another dis
tinguished member to the Ananias
club in the person of Col. George Har.
vey, editor of the North American Re-
view.
The initiation took place in the Of
fee of the Outlook, Of which Colonel
Roosevelt is contributing editor, and
the new member, while not actually
present, was put through with much
vim and considerable bounce.
While Colonel Roosevelt did not use
the Shorter and uglier word" in con-
nection with Colonel Harvey, his lam
guage was distinctly blunt and plain.
The reopening Of the club, which
was closed just prior to Mr.. Roose-
velt's departure for Africa, was
brought about through an article in
the August number of the North
American Review entitled SIS Roose-
welt an Asset or a Liability" which
was signed "The Editor" In one para.

But recently Roosevelt, the man,
declared that II national election
were to be held next November he un,
doubtedly would be the republican
candidate and would win"
When Colonel Roosevelt saw this
his eyes snapped and his teeth click
ed as he almost shouted:
THAT is a simple falsehood; | have
never said anything like that"
1t was pointed out to Colonel Roose
welt that Colonel Harvey evidently
meant to convey the impression tina
he would be forced to accept the nomi
nation. By this time Colonel Roose
welt appeared extremely angry; and
again repeating that he had neve

Yankton, S. D., Aug. 5.-After hav-

tains the plaintiff and an injunction
ordered restraining the said road from
continuing it's construction work
across the claim of the plaintiff, who
holds claim No. in the Trip county

importance and the decision is far
reaching, as it gives other homestead

conditions Miss Salee has successfully
contested. The question involved was
somewhat complicated and turned on
an entryman on public land giving a
deed to the Northwestern for right-of-
way while a contest was pending
against the entryman on his filing.
The court held that inasmuch as the
railroad had failed to file an approved
profile of it's road in the local land

it acquired no right-of-way under a
deed given 1t by an entryman named
Schneider, whose claim was contested
by Miss Salee, who is a very popular
settler of Trip county.

The state auditors report, consist
ing of three volumes, has been de-
livered, This is tbs first time that
the report has consisted of more than
one volume, and each one is about
three times ;as ;aass large as any before.
The increase in size is caused by the
new law of 1909, which provides that
an itemized account Of all expenses of
every department and every officer
must be published. This means that
the people have means of knowing
how their money is spent. 1t is
noticeable that some departments
were more careful after the new law
went into effect, as this report covers

prior to the enactment of the law.

THE BIG FIGHT.

The fight for control of the nation
in 1912 is already on.
The people or the interests will con-
troll. The issue will never again be
lost in the shuttle of patriotic speeches
and distinguished delegations headed
by corporation attorneys and presi-
dents. They may again control. They
are already laying plans to control
both conventions, but il they do they
will know they have been to a conven-
tion and we predict big doings before
a harmonized democracy or Can
nonized republicanism gets away with
the political lspoils of 1912.
The people are slow to arouse, but
1910 helped some and with two more
years they should be in fine fighting
trim.
No, don't strain yourself to uee
some great trouble down east. We
have it right here at home. A
Keep your eye on Washington the
next few weeks. There may be ssme
scalps that will need lifting by 1912.
While watching Washington, don't
overlook Pierre. We always get the
best results where the voters are pay =
