Mr.. Leadbeater said that north Co
lumbus street had built up on account
of the improvements having been made
on that street. He wanted to know
why no one asked what proportion
OF the cost property owners paid wher
an improvement was ordered on Alfred
or any street other than Washington
Mr.. Burke said he would vote fol-
this appropriation as the street was
needed by the merchants OF the city a:
northern outlet, though he did moi
believe any street should be improved
unless the property owners paid their
share.
Mr.. Chauncey wanted to know il
any of the members who were opposing
this tarring would build a 50, 600 house
and leav the roof off.
Mr.. Brumback stated that the tar
preparation was chiefly useful in lay
ing the dust. He opposed the approp,
ration because he believed the sum
appropriated last year was all that was
intended to be spent on that street.
In reply to question from MIR.
Williams the city engineer stated that
jarvia was a road building material
useful chiefly as a binder or cement.
Mr.. Harrison favored the appropria-
ton in order to properly finish the
work.
Mr.. Smith offered as an amendment
that the approprition be available when
the AUDITING property owners had con-
tributed the sum of $3.50.
Mr.. Leadbeater moved to lay the
amendment on the table, but when
he found that this would lay the whole

down in the midst of a great wheat
producing country, and operated by
cheap water power, are not able to
compete with European manufactur-
ers of -four in the worlds markets.
Although wheat itself, may not be ac-
tually sold at less price in Europe
than at home, the difference is so
small that the discrimination by Am
erica against itself is clearly shown.
Secretary Wilson is working on the
theory that the propducer is not get
ting enough money for his products to
account for the price paid by the ulti-
mate consumer. If this is true it is
an artificial condition, and the inter
ests responsible for bringing it about
must be dealt with by strong federal
regulation. Sioux Falls Press.

WHO GETS THE SUBSIDYp

Apparently there is some earnest
ness in the discussion OF the postal
deficit this year. 1t is debated every
year, but never before has there been
such disposition TO go to the bottom
and to suggest remedies.
After the first few days of discus
sion, it was evident that the Presi-
dent had not reached the root of the
matter in his. annual message. He
had put the magazines under charge
of practically getting subsidy from
the Government. But all that he
really proved was that a subsidy or
something that amounted to subsidy,
was being paid Who is getting it,
The magazines have not been slow
to answer that at an average cost of
carrying second class matter of 9.23
cents pound, the railroads are. the
ones who are receiving the subsidy.
They have brought facts and compar :
sons to the support of their conten-
tions. The Government, for example,
is paying a great deal more per pound
than express companies charge, md
the express companies are doing so
well that they have to cut UP stock
dividends every little while TO keep
their surplus frpm overhowing the
place.
If these are the facts, why does not
the Government get after its contracts
with the railroads? 1t would seem to
be the part of good business sense first
to learn what is a reasonable and fair
price for carrying second class matter,
and then to charge that price. 1t is
ridiculous for the postoffice to assert
that the magazines are compelling it
to lose 1854, 100000 year. The maga-
zines do not compel the postoffice to
do anything. They accept the price
charged by the Government, and they
would have to accept it, if the price
was increased. But it should not be
increased, until the government has
satisfied itself that it is getting the
best possible rates from the railroads
for carrying the mails Minneapolis

A FEW enthusiasts among the dele
gates were anxious to name state
ticket, but the conservative advise of
Congressmen Burke and Martin pre-
vailed.
Should the insurgents later name a
ticket, another stalwart convention
will be called to take like action.
The. best of feeling prevails among
the delegates, and everybody is hap
py.
The above printed in the Aberdeen
News by Editor Mcleod in his re-
port of the stalwart conference puts
Mr.. Mcleod in the humorist class.
Imagine, if you can, such ring leaders
as Kittredge, Day, Halladay, John
Longstaff, and few others feeling
happy over the failnre of the cen
ference to nominate ticket after they
had said it would, and after giving up
the idea only when compelled to sub
NIT to the dictation of the congress
men. Yes, they must feel happy in
the result of the conference, which
leaves the situation exactly as propos-
ed by the progressives.

THE MARKETS
w. G. t. u.

The markets are off all down the
line this week. The loss in wheat is
2 cents, No. Nor. selling at $1.l2a in
Minneapolis Thursday. The drop
in wheat seems to be due entirely to
the fact that the railroads have been
taking large shipments of wheat into
Minneapolis. However, the heavy re-
ceipts at that point fail to bear the
market as much as might be expect.

in transit have been cleaned up the

mills now own practically all the

is a tendency of fierce northwesterly
gales over all that region, annually,
in October and November, but this
tendency is increased when Venus
equinox falls in these months. The
storm diagram shows a Venus period
central on October IL and extending
into November.
"The mercury period coming into
force the last week of the month,
blending with the Venus period as al
ready noted, will breed storm and
weather conditions; especially on and
about the great lakes, and perhaps on
the north Atlantic seas and coasts,
that ought to put shippers and navi-
gators on their guard We thus re-
peat and emphasize the warning"
If 1910 was ushered in with rag
ing blizzard it will not go out,as a
lamb, for it will be very cold and on
Christmas day there will be blowing

PROOF AT HAND.

The Press has called attention to
tie low freight rate on wheat from
Buffalo to the seaboard as an evidence
that conspiracy existed to favor
European importers of American prod
ucts, while at the same time rates to
points in the Northwest are kept up
and held to maintain high prices in
this country.
Now comes Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson with the positive statement
that he has proof that American farm
products are being sold cheaper abroad
than the are in this country. Such
condition could only exist through
conspiracy in which the railroads and
other big shipping interests are con
cerned to bleed the American people
to the limit of their endurance on all
products which must be shipped even
for short distance, while preventing,
through shipments to Europe, sur
plus in this country which mighttend
to lower prices. The main object
sought through this conspiracy is to
maintain high prices in America. To
this end any over production in this
country is relieved through export.
Railroad and water rates are made to
conform TO this plan. With freight
rates on any sort Of an equitable basis.
American farm products should be
much cheaper in all parts of the Unit
ed States than they are abroad, but
every effort is made 10 encourage ex-
ports and create shortage in this
country.

1T is claimed that stalwart ticket
will be put in the field by petition
and that Sam Elrod will head it for
governor. The claim is quite likely
true, although Sam must want the
Office very badly if he will consent to
help pull the chestnuts from the fire
for the benefit of the bunch who
thought he wasn't good enough for
them two years ago when they claim
ed to have a good chance to win. But
Sam will probably do as well for them
as anyone they can get, and then the
object isn't so much the election Of a
governor this year as the building up
of an organization for the purpose of
landing the senatorship when
Candles term expires.

1910 TO BE A BAD YEAR.

If Ira r. Hicks is to be believed,
South Dakota is to experience one of
the worst storms in the history OF the
country during the present year. A
good many people consider Rev.
Hicks a joke so far as weather fore
casting is concerned, but it must be
admitted that he has made many a
''lucky guess" so far as the weather
for this section is concerned, says the
Argus Leader.
Rev. Mr.. Hicks is regarded as a pes
simist, but this year his forecast is
indeed gloomy and foreboding. He
says that between the dates of Jan.
II and October 20 this section will
be visited by cyclone that will put
all former wind storms in the shade.
Although definite date is not desig.
mated, the st. Louis prophet declares
that in the interval mentioned South
Dakota will be seething, whirling
storm center.
The storm will begin in February,
when a raging blizzard is due to sweep
across the state. 1t is called ''crisis
to reactionary period" and Hicks
adds:
without the slightest pretense of
claim to prophetic knowledge, we now
again declare that 1910 will have its
victims of storm weather. With equal
truth and emphasis we may also re-
peat that 'all years have them And
just as truthfully may we affirm that
almost 100 per cent of loss and suf-
fering and death will occur within the
limitations of periodic times, defined
and charted in this almanac as a
storm and danger period We could
not afford to put this declaration on
this page, if we were not gladly will
ing for thousands to say whether the
history of our work for forty years
justifies it,
This same storm will cause trouble
in all parts of the globe in the opin-
ion of Rev. Mr.. Hicks. Cyclones and
tornadoes will be in order everywhere
and he says the loss of life will be
great. The month of April will fur
nish interesting news for the papers

wholesale destruction.
Following these disturbances foods
will be in order, and the planets

gage in triangular fight, causing

A Sioux FALLS correspondent insists
that the attempt to start another
factional fight in the republican party
of this state was backed by the

claim of the correspondent was based

for the stalwart candidates two years

stalwarts was made by those who
were closely identified with the in
