the situation. The city attorney will
present the results OF his investigation

when a general discussion will take
place. II il the intention Of the ordin-
ance committee to have an ordinance
In form by the following meeting.
In the Investigation 1t has been
found that an ordinance adequate TO
meet the situation would necessitate
hiring q smoke inspector. who must
be an experienced a. drawing q
salary of from 81 900 to 81 800 a year.
This additional expense to the city
treasury. In its present condition is
not possible. according to the city at
torney, hence 1t IL probable that an
u%nfavorable report on the ordinance
at the present time will be made at
council meeting. The ofices OF SAM
tary and smoke inspector might be
combined according to suggestion OF
Mr.. Gardner.
The smoke nuisance is found to be
serious. especially near the Whitewat-
er river between North D street and
Main street. The matter was brought
up In council about two months ago
and ut that time the objection was
raised that II would be very expensive
TO manufacturers al smoke consumers
would have to be used. According to
Frank Waidele. chairman of the or
dinance committee, the size and height
OF the chimneys and the condition of
furnaces and freboxes have much to
do with the amount OF smoke thrown
on. He believed 1t would not be a
great hardship Il the manufacturers.
The matter wa originally introduced
by Councilman Weishaupt when he
presented . petition signed by q num-
Der Of people from the First ward ask
Ing that relief be given from the
smoke nuisance. The health depart.

ance regulating the trouble.

with satisfactory results. It is now

general terms, of which imports were
valued at ~ billion and exports at

excess of exports over imports, $751;
Ill ,349. The imports were larger
than in any preceding year, and the
exports larger than in any former
years except 1907 and 19OSS. The
grand total of foreign commerce, in

imported and exported except that in

preceding year except 1907. when the
total was $3,315,272,5O3.
The excess OF exports over imports

Economy and efficiency.

The dominant note in the presi-
dents message, as well as the reports
Of his cabinet officers is economy
and efficiency in the conduct Of the
government It is sounded first in the
presidents insistent recommendation
for departmental Reorganization, cut
ting out every item of expenses that
can be eliminated without importing
the service. That was the rule laid
down by him to every cabinet member
in making his annual recommends
lions, and 1t is notably true that some
of these statements had to be revised
several times before they came within
the executive prescriptions.
President Taft is operating on the
principle of the greatest good for the
least amount of money. He is con-
WINGED that we are not getting that
under the present system. He Is GER
tain that sinecures exist and is def
nitely aiming at their elimination.
That is reflected in every section Of
his own message, as well as in those Of
his official family. That is why the sec
rotary OF the navy advocates the aboli-
ton of all navy yards except thase
actually needed; it Is why the post
master general proceeds with his gem
eral movement of reducing the postal
deficit and simultaneously extending
the facilities and benefits of the sys-
tenn. (And he has done more in these
directions than any postmaster gem
eral ever did, That is why the sec
rotary of the treasury proposes to
close up several of the minis over the
country that are not needed
When one really comes to study,
with fair and impartial scrutiny,
the achievements and recommends
lions of the present administration
along these lines he must be strucA;
ton OF all navy yards except those
by their immensity, both in num-
Der and Importance. Il is vast
step toward an ideal system of
conducting the government. 1t Is
reducing everything to a simple,
business basis of making all parts per
form their functions to the maximum
degree for the minimum outlay. 1t il
to be hoped the administration will
have the cooperation of congress to
the end in this practical sort OF
statesmanship.

Protect the Hunter.

There ought to be some way of pro-
tecting the hunter from himself, at
least hunters in Pennsylvania, Maine
and New Hampshire. They are the
only ones whose casualties have been
oficially reported. Perhaps the need
may appear general when later returns
come in. The deaths in Pennsylvania
alone equal the number of foot ball
fatalities for the entire season and the
number of deaths in the two New
England states surpasses the foot ball
list, Foot ball is taken as a compar-
ison because of the loud cutlery annu-
ally made against its ravages.
The concrete cause of the hunting
accidents and deaths is carelessness,
and it is much more difficult to deal
with than the foot ball situation. Foot
ball is susceptible somewhat to rules
but 1t would be hard to apply any
definite rule to hunters that would
make them more careful The situa-
ton is serious one. About all that
can be done is to inaugurate a cam
paign of education on, the, extreme
dangers. AS the majority Of victims
are youths under 21. parents might
have some influence At least they
should try to have.
Some weeks ago we brought up this
very subject and called attention to
the increasingly large number of
deaths and accidents from gunshot
wounds resulting from youths or boys
thinking a gun was not loaded when
It was. Many of the accidents to hun
tiers are Of this character, but most of
them are due to falling or slipping
with firearms on the person. II
thoughtful persons would make 1t
their business to warn young people
against the danger Of such accidents
the number could soon be reduced.
The law would have extreme difficulty
in handling the matter. To be sure,
It regulates the season of hunting and
the kind and number OF birds and ami
mails that may be killed. That Is a
task, but 1t is much easier than would
be the one of trying to make hunters
stop shooting themselves.

Indu,trial Advance NeGt Year.

The year 1910 was much better
one than early conditions promised.
In the early summer we had some
good reason for fearing a corn failure
and failures in other crops, and there
fore a crippled industry in many lines
Instead Of these adverse results we
had the largest corn crop in history
and the largest aggregate value Of
farm products, reaching nearly
So, GOO, 100000. Such a stupendous
harvest Of prosperity is almost beyond
comprehension. II is not beyond our
power to realize, however, that Il will
furnish a mighty good basis for con-
tinued prosperity in the year TO come.
Large crops always make for enlarged
activities in commercial and indus
trial lines, and therefore we should
look for industrial advance in 1911.
The country has had some diflculty
Of late getting the scales OF produc-
ton and distribution properly adj
justed, but they are fitting fairly well
now. For that matter we cannot rea-
sonably expect any serious impairment
Of business with farms producing
5000, 600, 900 in crops a year. That
is all new wealth. II is wealth to be
added to what the country already
had. When that fact is realized we
ought to be able to even endure the
predictions Of hard times which the
pessimists have been making of late.
But other conditions besides last sea-
sons crops are propitious. The area
OF winter wheat this year Ia going to
be exceedingly large and that will
have q contributory effect. The rail-
roads, while they have complained
much this year, have actually main
tanned consistent, though not heavy,
gains over earnings OF last year and
the most significant feature of this Is
that these gains are uniformly dis
tributed as to sections.
As a matter Of fact, plans and prep
arations now on foot show great in
dustrial expansions coming, particu-
larly in the south and west, in 1911.
We are very likely to have another
big building year and good times an
along the line to put the country in
excellent shape for the 1912 cam
paign.

South Dakota makes q handsome showing

a population Of 5sS,SsS, compared with 40ib7O
In 1900. This is a gain for the decade Of
1872. SIS. or A6.4 per cent. The previous de-
cade recorded an increase OF only 7276o, or
221 per cent
Growth has been general throughout
South Dakota, every county but Buffalo
showing a gain over 1900. The large towns
have done very we'll. but furnish rea-
lively small proportion OF the gain. The
figures on urban population have not yet
been given out, but the county figures in
dicate what may be expected. Minneheha
county, containing the metropolis, Sioux
Falls is given a total population Of 1881.
This represents a gain for the decade OF
about Is per cent II Sioux Falls accounted
for the whole gain OF the county, which Is
probably not the fact, it's population would
go only little above 1900. Brown county,
containing the growing town OF Aberdeen,
has made better speed than Sioux Falls In
the population race. The county has MADE
a gain OF 1851, or 6S per cent, and has
Jumped from third into second place, with
a total population Of 25.s67. Aberdeen is
sure TO account for considerable portion
Of the gain, and may prove a likely bidder
against Sioux Falls for metropolitan hon
ors. Lawrence county, containing the min
ing town Of Deadwood. has dropped into
third place. with a population of 1862,
compared with 1881 in 1900. Pennington
county, containing Rapid city, has jumped
from $50 in 1900 to l2,45S, more than

The discussion of the state primary
election law at present turns on the
question OF preserving party integrity.
A few enthusiastic advocates Of the
primary law are demanding that It be
so amended as to obliterate all party
distinction. These so-called indie
pendent, voters insist that they be
given recognition above all others, be-
cause they protest that it is their pur-
pose to choose the man rather than
what he stands for. The fact that
they are in a minority does not turn
them away from their desire.
The late primary in Nebraska is
continually cited as an example of the
evil effect of the "wide-open" plan.
Even II Il be true that a large number
OF. repu blicans voted for a democratic
candidate at the primary, and thus
secured his nomination, it must be
admitted that this is the naural result
Of the law as amended by democratic
legislature. At the time the amend
ments we're pending before the last
general assembly 1t was pointed out
that this condition would be brought
about. 1t was the logical result.
Political parties are a necessity un-
der our form Of government. II is
natural for men of a common turn of
mind to associate themselves together
for the purpose of achieving a COM
mon object. The mere designation of
such an association by one or another
of the party names is an immaterial
detail. Il does not seriously matter
what the party Is called so long as it
generally stands for the principles ad-
vocated by it's members. Our form OF
government is sufficiently elastic to
permit the formation OF any number
Of political parties, and provides easy
methods for their recognition. The
right OF any member Of one OF these
political associations TO express his
animation Herewith. and his fealty
thereto, by his ballot is unquestioned.
The voter should at all times have the

A correspondent Of the World
Herald makes a tremendous fuss about
The Bee and BaIlinger" The trou-
BILE with this gentleman is that he has
purposely misconstrued what The Bee
has said on the subject Of ''Ballinger-
ism" He has also fallen into the
same blunder that characterized the
course of the minority Of the investi-
eating committee, which made it's re-
port to the so-called conservation"
congress at st. Paul, apparently mis-
taking that body for the one which
meets at Washington. At any rate,
the gentleman is so unfair in his state
ment of the position of this paper,
and so wide of the truth in his con-
illusions, that a categorical answer is
scarcely required. The Bee has never
undertaken a defense Of Ballinger, but
it has tried to give publicity to the
salient facts in the case, and in it's
files will be found to be published in
extenso the statements of Pinchot,
CLAWS and others who appeared for
the prosecution. IL has also COM
mented edltorislly from time to time
on the progress OF the case, always
standing for simple Justice. The
trouble with the world-Herald CORE
spondent is that he has allowed his
prejudice to carry him away entirely.
