Attorney General johnson has Civ

state auditor as to the right of the
Legislature to authorize the use of a
portion of the general appropriation

that the legislature had that power,

HARMON AND UNDERWOOD

A boom has been started for the
nomination by the democrats in 1912
of Judson Harmon of Ohio and Oscar
w Underwood of Alabama. Although
the strength of the democracy is in
the south, not since the civil war has
the party had the courage to nomin-
ate candidate for president or vice
president from the south. With the
observance of the liftieth anniversary
of the commencement of the civil
war this year, and the numerous Joint
reunions of the blue and the gray, it
would appear that the democrats are
ilnaiiy III d position 10 reward SOM
of tie faithful who kept the party
alive during the discouraging years
that followed the great war. The
time may come, even, when the re-
publican party may take one of it's
candidates from the south. Repre-
sentative Underwood has proven him
self a brilliant politician and has re-
Elected credit upon his party and upon
his state as democratic house leader
and the opposition might do much
worse than to nominate him for the
second place.

THE HUNTERS LICENSE GRIND

The game warden's department es.
Inmates the number of hunting Ii
censes which will be taken out this
year at 0,0o0, and the blanks to sup
ply that number have been sent out
to the county treasurers of the state.
The department issued thirty thous-
and gun licenses last year, and as
grouse and prairie chicken can be
hunted this year after five years pro-
lection, it is believed that far great
er number of licenses will be taken
out than for former years. These
birds are reported to be plentiful in
many sections of the state, as the
past two years have been favorable
for their breeding, especially SO this
year with but few rains in May and
June when the Matching season was
on. The open season will be from
September 10. to October 10, and in
that time the hunters will no doubt
be busy.

TO CONTINUE RESIDENCE

Papers published in the western
half of the state are telling of changes
in plans on the part of many of the
homesteaderrs since the recent heavy
rains. There is now a chance for
pasturage and supply of winter
feed by the prairie putting on green
coat, and the bringing on of the grain
planted earlier in the season, which
will be cut for feed, and a number
who had made arrangements for leav-
ing their lands until next spring will
now stay, as they see their way clear
to supply their live stock with feed
for the winter. Many of them where
they have an opportunity are using
irrigation as means to secure crops,
and are making q success of it to such
an extent that all who have tried 1t
this year are making arrangements
to extend their irrigated area for next
year. Many plants are being put in
along tie Cheyenne river, and where
the water of that stream is being used
the outlook is very favorable.

KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME

And now comes the sad intelligence
that some Of the land which some
companies exploit in Florida is under
water and farms sold to northern in
yestors may be best suited for fishing
grounds. This has come to light
from the Investigations of govern
ment mail inspectors and there is
prosecution in wholesale at hand.
All of this brings US right back to
the proposition that when man buys
land for an investment he would do
better to buy it in South Dakota than
any where else on earth. Let him
spend his money for more rich
prairie acres in this part of the world
and know that he has something he
has seen and can count upon for
proven crops.
Land thousands of miles away is
loor thine to have when so much
better is nearby. South Dakota dirt
is the best investment for South Da-
kota people unless it be South Dako-
to business enterprises.

THE INDUSTRIOUS SIOUX

That the Sioux Indians are begin
ming to look out for themselves to
greater extent each year is shown by
the fact that the Indians of this state
earned as individuals, employed out
side of the government service, for
the month of July $4,000. Includ-
ing those employed in the government
service their earnings were SAC, 900.
These figures do not include the earn
ings of any OF them as farmers, or
business men in any capacity, being
those of laborers. Many of the Sioux
Indians are carrying on extensive
farming operations, and yet a larger
number of herds of cattle and horses
which bring them good income, and
their total revenues by individual eff
forts will run into much higher
figure than the mere earnings of the
laborers.

If HE SIGNS

Ii Taft does not veto the wool bill
there promises to be a cutting and
slashing of prices for the consumer
next year which ought to make him
happy.
just what the president will finally
do when the matter comes up to him
is OF course unknown, but he has
once declared schedule K indefensi-
BILE and if he will sign he will land
blow upon that particular section of
the Payne tariff law which will bene-
fit the poor man.
Here are some of the changes which
are expected if the bill becomes q
law. the total saving being estimated
at $40, 100000 for the people of the
United States in the first year:
Mems ready-made suits; those now
SIS, next winter S. to $40.
Suits now SIS, will be SIP to $14.
Those now $50, soon SIS. And S25
suits for SIS to $40. Equal quality.
Tailor-made suits all chea per, too.
Girls Sis suits for $40, women's $40
suits cut to SIP and SIS, SIS suits to
$1s and $40, $35 suits to $25 and $50.
S5o suits for $40-all to come if the
LaFollette bill is signed by Taft.
Challis dress cloth now go cents to
yard s &c SC sc sc sc sc
Flannel now SO cents to $40 per ward
10 to 20 cents per yard cheaper.
Wool wolfe, now from 81 yard up
3d. So, will be 80 cents to So. 40.
And blankets for next winters cold
nights-the 81 kind now will be 81. so.
allowing the usual jobber's and re-
tailer's profits. The 81 sort will cost
but 1920.
Carpets and rugs to be cheaper,
too. And warm underwear won't
cost so much.
Best of all it will put real wool on
the poor mans back next winter and
let him sleep between real wool blan-
kets at night. Under the Payne
Aldrich tariff there are cheap b.an-
kets, the cloth is wool skeleton filled
with cotton shoddy--poor protection
against cold.

thing sold. Cattlemen just ever the

THE SPoILS SYSTEM

From the white house and from
various department headquarters in
Washington a campaign is in prog
ress having for its purpose the NOM
nation of President Taft as his own
successor.
This campaign, it is said, has been
conducted in secrecy and it has pro-
ceeded through the various channels
that connect the federal office holders
of the country with the federal head
quarters at the capital of the nation.
This is a field of endeayor within
which the man in the white house has
a monopoly, for all the official aven-
ues of intercommunic cation are open
to him and are open to no other
person.
The tremendous advantage thus
maintained over all competitors for
the presidential place has not been
impaired since Mr.. Roosevelt en-
ployed it to pack the national repub-
lican convention in the interest of
Mr.. Taft, who was easily made the
nominee, although the sense of the
country would not have favored him
in a fair field and an unintiuenced
contest.
The secretary to the president is
managing the Cor res p0iiaGiiia;Sc /, rec I.
in the interest of the president, send
ing out inquiries to the office holders
the country over written on white
house paper.
a sample letter has been printed in
the newspapers. 1t is dated at the
white house and is signed by the sec
rotary, Charles ID. Hilles, and it
reads as follows:
my Dear Sir: | shall be very glad
to have you write me your estimate
of the work of the present admins
tration, and to have you give me a
frank statement as to the sentiment
of the people in general and republic
| cans in particular, with respect to
the course of the president. Such a
letter would be treated as confidential
unless you We're willing that it should
be later utilized by some reputable
newspaper engaged in endeavoring to
sense the situation.
Il have recently had occasion to
write friend in Topeka and am TAX
ing the liberty of enclosing copy of
this letter in order that you may have
my present point OF view"
This letter was sent TO a Topeka
man and is presumed to be similar to
other letters sent to other persons, all
of whom are so situated that they
must return favorable replies-replies
eXalting the course of the president
and creating broad foundation for
argument in favor of the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Taftr
| Through such processes the spoils
system is utilized to the utmost and
every beneficiary of the administra-
| ton made to perform function in
