IOWA SHORT OF FEED

The question of coarse feed for stock
during the coming winter in this part
of South Dakota is no longer ques-
tion-it is simply matter of taking
care of the plenty nowin sight. That
it is not so in some of the states
where the inhabitants have been glad
to spread evi reports of South Dakota
is evinced by the following taken from
the Farmer and Breeders of Sioux
City, Iowa, in which the reader will
note the editor implores the farmers
not to sell their breeding stock,
which, of course is good advice at all
times and in all places:
The question that is uppermost in
the minds of farmers and stockmen
in our terriotery this year is how to Sc
cure feed enough to carry their live
stock through the winter. 1t is an
important question and should be
given the most careful and deliberate
attention. Each man, however, must
decide for himself. We can offer no
suggestions except in a general way,
and they may or may not fit the in
dividual. The hay and oat crops are
short and in many localities corn will
not give more than half to thirds
of normal yield, but there will be a
good lot of fodder. Save it. Save
every pound of it. Don't waste a
single stock of corn regardless of how
much hay and oats you may have
harvested. If by cutting all your
corn you should get more roughage
than you need, sell your surplus hay
or keep it for nextyear. The chances
are your meadow will not be in shape
and yield well next year, even though
the season should bring plenty of
rain.
The fodder from 60 to 100 acres of
corn will carry lot of stock through
the winter months. Should you not
get enough corn to fatten the usual
number of steers, sell them as feeders
when the market suits you and save
the corn for hogs. They are likely to
bring good price through the winter
months. Whatever you do don't sacri-
fee. your herd of brood sows or your
breeding cattle. For some years to

SHOULD President Taft veto the
statehood bill because of the judicial
recall contained in the Arizona con-
stitution, he will commit another
blunder. If will appear to the people
that his judicial mind" has once
more broken loose in an executive
place. After Arizona has been ad-
mitted it can amend the constitution
to include the recall, Why should
it be refused admission because the
constitution contains a feature that
can be incorporated in the constitution
at any time after admission? There
are now states that contemplate in
cooperating the judicial recall in their
constitutions.

IT may be we'll enough to talk of
protecting the Judiciary against the
whims of the "maddened mob" when
opposing the judicial recall as outlined
in the constitution adopted by Ari-
zoua terriotery, but we are not edu-
Gated up to that fine point where we
can look upon the common people as
"mob." Perhaps being one of the
aforesaid common people ourselves,
our mental arrangement may be
slightly on the bias. But why should
the judiciary be made secure in their
position against possible recall by
the people who elect them' 1t is
well to talk of protecting the judi
ciary, but what is there to protect the
people against an uuwise or dishonest
iudge9 The people are not fools,
neither do all the people go insane
over an issue. The recall of judge
would be conducted along lines pre-
scribed by law. A judge against
whom the recall had been invoked
would have plenty of time to state his
position, and if he had acted honestly
he would receive the support of the
people at the polls. This judicial re-
call does not propose the immediate
removal of Judge at the instance of
mob, but in calm manner.
Where is the harm in having the
possibility of recall hanging over a
Judge. All that is asked of the judi.
ciary is that they do their duty. The
recall might prevent legislation by
the courts, and if it did it would be a
good thing. The demand for the
judicial recall is the result of evil
practises upon the bench. 1t is not
that the people wish the right to elect
a Judge and then remove him for the
mere fun of the thing, Judges are
often wrong. If it were not so there
would be no need of appellate courts.
Politics Otter place men on the bench
who would better serve the people in
some other capacity. Are not the
people as capable of deciding whether
or not man should remain on the
bench as they are capable Of placing
him there in the first placel If the
people are not capable of handling

THE CANADIAN CAMPAIGN.

President TAFT 1t appears. will be a
larger fatcor on the coming Canadian
compaign. His speeches will be
qouted aud misqouted on both
sides of the battle, and before it is
through with he may find much news
of personal interest in the Canadian
papers.
The struggle between Laurier and
Borden will be bitter in the extreme,
and while reciprocity will be the ral-
lying cry of Government will endeaver
to introduce other issue.

ing the judiciary. 1t is the abuse of
the powers delegated to the bench,
the assumption of power by the bench,
that has created this demand for the
recall. We believe that as long as
the present system of selecting the
Judiciary remains, the demand for the
some way to eliminate politics from
the selection of the judiciary, some
way to eliminate corruption from the
would die out because there would be
no need of such system.

Americans.
What we are interest in is reciprocity,
The Conservatives show a disposition
to add annexation, though it is evident
to Canadians that there is only one
real issue.
The question of trade does not in
volve the question of annextion.
Annexation would mean complete and
immediate free trade under our
Constitution. If it was difficult
enough to let down the bars on our
side a little, how would fare policy
that meant sweeping them away en-.
tirely? No American thinks seriously
of the annexation of Canada. No
Canadian thinks seriously of it either
But it will serve to draw some
English money into the opposition
campaign fund, undoubtedly it will
be worked for what it is worth.
The Canadian House of Commons
consists of two hundred and twenty
one members. In the present men,
bership there are one hundred and
thirty three supporters of the gov.
ernment, and eighty-eight in the
Opposition. There are no side parties
and will be none in the next Parlia-
ment. So the issue will be clean-cut
between the Liberals and Conserva-
tives. The latter must gain twenty
five members to have working
majority. If they should get these
they would lay the Reciprocity bill
aside. 1t would be dead. This is
the issue that must tend to sober the
Canadians and brush out of their
minds all minor issues. Shall they
give up the chance of the big Ameri-
can market merely for the purpose
of Furnishing some local politicians for
domestic mistakes2 1t is this issue
which the government will press
vigorously, and which will in all pro,
liability return Sir Wilfred Laurier to
power, and force the final ratification
of reciprocity.

AT Des Moines, Iowa a street car
strike was settled temporarily by a
Judge who ordered the strikers to go
back to work and ordered the street
railroad company to reinstate a dis
charged employee. There is not the
shadow of doubt that the judge ex-
ceeded his authority, but everybody
seems glad that the affair is settled
for the time being. Of course the
differences exist the same as before,
but the chauces of an amicable agret =
ment are much better now than they
would be in the heat and passion of
a strike. The action of the Judge is
in line with suggestion made in
these columns at the time of the
swithchman's strike in the northwest.
ern cities two years ago. The only
reasonable plan for avoiding such
labor difficulties is the enactment of
a national law governing all public
utility corporations and all individ-
uals engaged in the operation of
snch utilities. The law must govern
both management aud employees,
provide for compulsory arbitration,
and prohibit lockouts and strikes.
1t would be necessary to prohibit a
man from leaving his job without
written notice and then only upon
reason approved by commission. On
the other hand the employee should
be made secure in his position during
good behavior. The employee and
the management of a public utility
owe somthing to the public, and
when a man enters into such service
be should be made to understand this
obligation to the people. 1t is only
a matter Of a short time when the
points mentioned will be embodied in
a law. There is no other solution of
difficulty that will grow greater
under DELAY.

is hand that is not calculated to in

Pierrot's Death
By Hans Holzshuher.

candelabras. In the uncertain light
it often looked as if Pierrot's pale
face smiled, as if he felt the mockery

was dead, for his face was white as
it had always been, and his lips
seemed ready to sing a last song.
"Pierrot is dead said the blushing
maiden and knelt down at the foot
of his coffin.
"Pierrot is dead" sobbed the little
girl and on her knees she moved up
along the side Of the coffin and kissed
Pierrot's cold hands till a breath OF
wind famed the strings of a man
dolin hanging on the wall and the
soft trembling tones drove her away.
''Pierrot is dead said the lady in
black as she placed a bouquet Of mag
nificent yellow roses and orchids in
the vase at his head. 'rPierrot, poor
Pierrot."
But she had not come. She for
whose sake his shirt bore the little
blood red spot; for whose sake his
hands were stiff and cold, and for
whose sake his lips and heart were
silent forever
Softly the pendulum of the big
clock licked off the seconds. A sweet
fragrance Of whitening flowers filled
the room. The f1ickering candles had
grown small and the light of their
flames no longer reached Pierrot's
face. The black men came and with
heavy steps carried the coffin down
the creaking oaken stairway. The
heavy door Changed, and the black
horses trotted through the dark rainy
night with the rumbling hearse. Lights
shone through. many little windows
behind which meidens softly sang
Pierrpt's songs.
But on the seventh day Pierrot
arose. smiling and carrying in his
hands long stemmed white roses, and

IMPROVEMENTS AT
WASHINGTON PARK

Washington park, now in control Of
the city, Is TO be made the recreation
place of Ell Paso. Park commissioner
Robert A Harris is transplanting more
than 200 trees in different parts Of
the east side park Cannas are being
planted along the sides OF the lagoon.
The banks are being terraced and these
cannas will be planted next to the
waterline on these terraces. Clumps
Of bamboo viii also be set out near the
lagoon and in different parts of the
park to hide the unsightly view of the
stables and rough board fences.
l. Is the present plan or the park
commissioner TO put walks in all parts
Of the park as soon as the money IS
available The curbing for these
walks will be concrete and the surface
will be of asphalt composition. With
the installation OF these walks the park
will be made one OF the prettiest in
the state. A number of flower beds
are also to be planted in different
parts Of the park inside OF the hedge
rows and the trees and the hedges
kept trimmed all the time.
