Santa Fe Shops Here First to Use This
New Force.
G. H. Emerson, now assistant to the
general manager of the Great North
ern, and H. w. Jacobs, assistant super
intendent of motive power of the Santa
Fe in Topeka, were among the first
to experiment with and extensively
adopt oxy-acetylene for welding and
cutting purposes in railway shops.
Both the Great Northern shops at st.
Paul, Mimi, and the Santa Fe shops at
Topeka, are equipped with central
generating plants for the oxygen and
acetylene, which are piped to the diff
ferent departments in which they are
used. That the value of oxy-acetylene
for use in railway shops is becoming
quite generally recognized is evident.
The. use of portable plant on
wrecking cars for cutting the draw
bars between derailed engines and ten
ders and for other purposes of this
kind would seem to possess great pos
Sibilities. A most important feature of
the use of oxy-acetylene. which has
developed gradually, is the retaining
of various parts of locomotive and car
equipment which have become badly
worn, cracked or broken. While the
saving in the value of the material
amounts to considerable, the greatest
saving is often in the shorter time the
equipment is held out of service while
the necessary repairs are being made

and Decorations
Should Be Selected with
This Idea in View.

THE practise of using the dining
room as a general living-room
should not be encouraged, but | greatly
fear it will be long before all readers
will be persuaded to agree with me.
The dining-room should be used
solely for the serving and eating of
meals, and the construction OF the fur
niture is built to that end. Therefore,
let us bear in mind that we must select
our decorations and choose our furni-
ture with this end in view.
First, then, as to furniture. We shall
need a rather large table which is per-
fectly steady. and we must determine
it's length and width according to, the
size of the room, and allow plenty of
space for the servants to move easily
behind the chairs when people are
seated at meals. An oval or round table
is a good n to select, since these
models take less space, and also seat
an extra person or two with more COM
fort, while they are rather more novel
than the orthodox square or oblong
tables which have had it all their own
way until recently.
Another growing fashion is to have
the tables far more ornamental than
heretofore, and many people entirely
dc away with a tablecloth except at
meal times, and keep a high polish on
the top of the table, which brings out
the beauty of the grain and the carving
on the edge.
If the surface has a very fine polish
it is wise to have a felt cover made for
the top. and this should be laid under
the damask cloth at meal times to pre-.
vent the hot plates and dishes mark
ing the wood
Perhaps the favorite wood just now
for dining-room furniture is light oak,
but black oak. mahogany and walnut
still appeal to many people, n ] heal
rumors that rosewood is shortly to re-
turn to favor.
In the matter of chairs one has an
enormous variety to choose from: the
most popular are perhaps those with
high backs, in some quaint artistic
shape; while many excellent models
may be had which are exact reproduc.

The County Machine

There has been quite ruction in the
reform" forces of this county during
the past few weeks that promises to
strand the faction on the rocks at the
June primaries. Ever since the alleged
''reformers' commenced their cam
paign two years ago few of the lead
ers have been quietly at work perfect
ing county machine with which they
could throttle the intent of the primary
law and perpetuate themselves in power
as the bosses of Day county politics.
But the best laid plans of the widest
politicians often fail to materialize. A
couple Of months ago the ''r form"
leaders decided to grease up their ma
chine and start it to going, but they
learned that it did not work as smooth
ly as they anticipated. When the "fav-
orite sons" from various parts of the
county felt the sting of the political
bee and came to the county seat to size
up the situation, only to learn that the
reform" machine had ground out a
full slate, there was considerable dis
content manifested. A number of
them were pacified by the promise of
jobs in the future, but the rest were
promptly put down and out by the
threat of turning the entire reform"
organization against them should they
attempt to enter the lists as candidates.
AS result of this system of procedure
there is feeling of discomfort mani
tested among the rank and file of the
faction. The fact is beginning to dawn
upon them at last that the leaders of
the alleged reform" movement are
not such virtuous mortals as they paint
themselves. The voters have learned
that the county is in the grip of a
despotic machine; that the primary law
for which these "reformers" howled is
utterly ignored, and that the only way
member of the faction can become a
candidate is by becoming servile tool
of the two politicians who control the
destinies of the Day county reform
machine.
Four years ago these same politicians
were advocating the passage of prim-
airy law in order to eliminate machine
politics, and at the present time they
are presiding over the most despotic
machine county could possibly pos
sess. If this is the manner in which
they are going to ''reform" Day county
politics the voters of the county cannot
relegate them to the political rubbish
heap any too soon.

many of the conservative republicans
of the Hills country are greatly alarm
ed over the situation there, and many
Of them go so far as to predict that
Egan will receive a majority in the
Hills.
Egan's seizure of the reform" fac
ton in the southern part of the state
practically eliminates Vessey and leaves
the contest between Egan, the ultra
radical, and Elrod, the conservative.
The nomination of Egan would mean
the dissolution of the republican party
in South Dakota, and return to those
days of political chaos which marked
the early history of the state.
The republicans of South Dakota
cannot afford to place in the governors
office man who has no talent other
than oratory; they cannot afford to
place in power man who has no firm
and stable political beliefs, who is out
of harmony with every interest of the
state, and whose whimsical nature
would make him a menace to the state.
South Dakota has had enough of
reform" oratory and loose business
methods. What the state needs is
safe, conservative, business administra-
ton such as Mr.. Elrod can give us-an
administration that will reclaim the
state from those financial difficulties
into which it has been plunged by the
voters experimenting with those "sil-
vered tongued" politicians who pose as
"reformers.

The Egan Peril

A great many voters in this part OF
the state have the opinion that George
w. Egan is not very important fac
tor in the gubernatorial race, but the
events of the past month prove con-
clusively that he is not only an impor-
tant factor but that he is one of the
most important factors, having fol-
lowing that completely eclipses that of
Mr.. Wesley and Boss Richards.
Mr.. Egan has been making a spec
tacular campaign in the southern part
of the state. He is an orator whose
ability cannot be denied, and as he is
making campaign along sensational
lines he is naturally attracting to him
self large number of the less conserv-
alive element who naturally gravitate
to the first smooth tongued "reformer"
that comes along.
One of Egan's principal stunts has
been to pose as a staunch supporter of
the various trade unions, and this alone
will bring him thousands of votes that
have never before been registered in a
republican primary. In the Black Hills
country every union man is pledged to
Egan. The thousands of socialist, who
are members of the various miners
unions, will vote for him to a man, and
