LORIMER WINS IN ILLINOIS

The State of Illinois must be tenn
porarily lost to all sense of honesty
and decency since the voters Of that
State have renominated nearly every
man concerned in the disgraceful
episodes connected with the election
of Lorimer to the U. S. Senate, in
Guiding Lee O'Neill Brown, the DEM
ocratic leader in the House of Dele
gates. who has just been tried and
acquitted of bribery by a very ques-
tionable jury in Chicago and who is
under indictment in another county
of that State. 1t is hardly believe
able that voters who desire or ought
to desire representatives above sus-
picion should deliberately name men
for public office who are generally
credited with being either bride
givers or bride takers, and yet the
voters of Illinois have done this very
thing 1t is possible and even proba-
BILE that Col. RoOsevelt'S gallery
play in Chicago, when he was guilty
of bad manners in refusing to sit at
the table of the Hamilton club with
Lorimer. who is a member Of the
club and had been invited to the
dinner. had something to do with
the result of the primaries. 1t gave
Lorimer's friends a chance to put
him in the martyr class, and though
the Roosevelt episode was nothing
beyond breach of good taste, yet,
when colored up. it no doubt appeal
ed to a certain class in Illinois. caus-
ing them to stand by Lorimer and his
supporters in order to rebuke Col.
Roosevelt. No matter how we look
at it the result of the primaries Is
disappointing.

TAFT AND THE INSURGENTS

TAFT AND The lNSUkGtNI
President Taft is certainly making
a strong bid for harmony in the Re-
publican party. and the various and
sudden shifts in his attitude indicate
very clearly his uneasiness.
He first apparently stands for
Sherman, and then for Roosevelt
and then again for Sherman; he de-
clares that the recent tariff law Is
the best the country ever had, which
is in accord with the odd guard
idea, and then he declares that the
time has come for revision Of the
tariff down, a schedule at a time, &C
cording to the ''insurgent" idea;
during the last session of Congress
he refused the insurgent congress
men and senators the patronage
which has heretofore been considered
their right, and now when they are
lambasting the "old guard" at every
point of the compass, he clears the
way for them to the pie counter
again.
1t looks like a drowning man
grasping at straws, but in the mean
time Mr.. Roosevelt continues to
throw projectiles of disorganization
into the ranks, which are causing
rents of such proportion that the
diplomacy of the President appears
unavailing.
The Democratic party is apparent
ly recovering from Organism just
about the time the Republican party
is attacked by Roosevelt.

Martyr to Turkish Spies.

Less than a month ago Sevasley ini-
tiated this ecclesiastical strike in Bos-
ton. where Father MartoOgessian Is
held as a great martyr TO the ma
chinations OF Turkish spies and Ar
menian traitors as he is by the breth-
rem in New York. He told his audience
that already there were more than
500 children Drawing infant damna-
tion-a tenet still held by the AT
menian Apostolic church-because
their parents had joined the strike and
had refused to have them baptized.
The church was in fair way OF be
ing wrecked in Boston, Sevasley said
and when the strike spreads TO New
York. Archbishop Semerjian. head OF
the New York diocese. would either
have to prevail upon the primate in
Armenia TO reconsider the disbarment
of Martoogessian or he would have nc
see left.
Seyasley and other speakers told
the Armenians in explosive polisylla-
bles that as soon as Martoogession
was arrested. following the murder OF
H. S. Tayshajan, the wealthy rug
merchant, by agents Of the Huncha-
kist society in the summer Of 1901
Archbishop Semerjian had advised the
primate at home that MartOogession
had been arrested on charge OF com
plicity in the murder and advised that
he be unfrocked. The primate had act
ed upon this advice from the New
York prelate without giving Father
Martoogessian an opportunity to be
tried as the canons of the church pro
vide. and not until he was released
from prison a few days ago had Mar
toogessian learned that he was nc
longer a priest in the church

GAME WARDEN's REPORT.

State Game Warden w. f. Bancroft,
has just issued his annual report Tor
the year ending June 80, 1910, which
is comprehensive pertaining to his de-
partment, and will interest all true
sportsmcn and those Interested IN the
protection and propagation OF game.
The report says in part:
The last legislature, in recognizing
this fact by passing practically a new
game and fish law and creating the
office of state game warden-in fact,
a department OF game and fish, only
rightfully followed in the footsteps OF
other progressive states who have
earlier recognized the necessity OF
better laws for the protection and
PROPAGATION of our game and fish.
The results Of the first years work
irgs OF our game and fish laws has
proven satisfactory on the whole but
with needed legislation to amend the
present law still better results may be
obtained. The enforcement Of the eX-
listing laws has been as good as could
be expected. In some counties the
law has been we'll enforced, while in
OLutIS luP utbll utllOu VI 6dilC anu
fish has conc on nearly as great as in
former years, with but few exceptions
due to insufficient county game and
fish wardens being recommended for
appointment by the different boards
Of county commissioners, but they
are fast being "weeded' out by the
state game warden.
One thing certain, South Dakota
must follow in the footsteps of Min
nesota-one of the most progressive
states in the west when it m to
protecting game birds and animals
and that is to prohibit the spring
shooting of migratory waterfowl.
The recommendations made in this
report for needed amendments 20 the
present laws are made solely to i'm
prove the laws and make them ore
effective for better enforcement and
still greater propagation of our game
both large and small-and fish as
well. The present game and fish laws
now in our statute books should be
codified into one general law, as there
are at present many conflicting as
we'll as inconsistent sections. Solely
on this account are many of the pro
visions almost impossible to make
hold good in the courts, and as a con-
sequence county game wardens find it
almost impossible to do good work
along certain lines.

From the number OF inquiries in re-
gard to the court house bonds that
County Auditor Otternes is receiving,
there will be lively bidding when they
are sold the last of the month. Every
mail brings Mr.. Otternes eight or ten
inquiries and f~inanciers must regard
the bonds as a pretty good investment.
o. A. Brictson, president of the
Brictson Manufacturing company, has

south Brookings, formerly used as a

model the building for the use OF the
company's plans. There is also some
talk of moving the glove and mitten
factory to the building.
The oldtimers predict a long, cold,
hard winter. They say the gophers
are digging their holes deeper than
usual this year, and that the fur OF the
Jack rabbits is much heavier than
usual. Other oldtimers point to the
fact that the muskrats are building
their homes in deeper water than
usuas as positive proof that the win
Ger will be severe, with a late spring.
In another column we give space to
a couple of communications from
Bookings county citizens on matters
of public interest. The Register is al
ways willing to print signed cOmmuni
cations, as we believe it the duty of
newspaper to aid in giving publicity
to the views of its readers, even
