In society, the plalnest, most

10 the Senate, and nobody will make
any guesSes as to what that chamber

The Democrats have measures on
their programme which they think
more Of than they do of reciprocity,
and they are likely to deal with
some Of them before they take up

FARMERS FINISHED PRODUCTS

Canadian reciprocity may yet be
a determinative question in Iowa
politics. Senator Young has made
that one of his issues. He is op-
posed to New England getting its
food products from Canada, 10 the
exclusion of the producers of Iowa
and the West. The manufacturers
of New England are not entitled 10
Protection on their "fnished pro-
ducts" as they are pleased to call
them, if the farmers of the West are
not entitled to Protection on their
finished products. The fattened
steer and the bacon hog are just as
much finished products as are the
shoes or the knives of New England
factories. 1t takes the farmer three
years to manufacture the steer with
the juicy steaks, and 1t is just as
much of finished product as any,
thing that is made in factory.
Protection must stand as whole,
or go down as whole. The Tariff
cannot be taken down from the
articles of the farm, unless 1t is
taken down from everything else.
If the New England manufacturers
are entitled to get free food pro.
ducts from Canada, then the
farmers of the West are entitled to
free manufactured products from
Europe. This thing must work
both ways or it will not work at all.
This was always the position that
the late Senator Allison took in
Washington. Modestly, but firmly,
he stood by the great West, whose
representative he was in the Senate
of the United States. In those
days it was often said that the West
needed no protection but now the
West knows that it does need it.
Cattle are offered from the Argen
tine and from Mexico, and Austria
liza is offering mutton at the sea-
board cities. The time is at hand
when the farmer of the West will be
more vitality interested in the Tariff
than any other class of people.
He has had time of good prices
and as a result the hands of the
East are raised against bis pros
perity.-American Economist.

THE DR.. HYDE CASE

The news that came from Jeffer-
son City yesterday conveying the
information that DR.. B. Clark Hyde,
convicted by jury of killing Tho'.
H. Swope, is to have a new trial re-
awakened public interest in case
that is without parellel In local his
tory. 1t may be said that opinion
as to the guilt or innocence of DR..
Hyde is fairly divided in this COM
munity, but the first storm of fpreju-
dice and passion has spent itself.
There is probably only small ele-
ment among the people of Kansas
City who will feel resentful if Hyde
is admitted to bail, which seems TO
be logical result of the supreme
courts decree in the case. The
higher tribunal found many and SER
ious flaws in the manner in which
the first trial was conducted.
If bail is allowed there probably
will be no disposition on either side
to hurry the second trial, although
the prosecution announces that it
will be ready to take up the case in
two weeks. 1t is the history of most
cases of this kind that the second
trial is delayed much beyond the
reasonable limit. If set at liberty
under bond the chances are that
Hyde will never again be placed be-
hind prison bars on this charge.
The effort that was made to convict
him was strong one. 1t cost the
Swopes a great sum of money and
1t is hardly likely that they will be
willing to repeat this expenditure
The attorneys who were hired to aid
the prosecution were retained at a
heavy cost, and one of them has
been elected to the United States
senate since the trial. 1t is not
known whether or not he would be
willing to lie. enter the case.
One thing is now certain that may
have an important bearing upon the
second trial of DR.. Hyde. There is
a prevalent feeling that he has suf--
fered acutely, from humiliation and
anxiety as well as confinement, and
that if he is never convicted again
he will at least not have escaped
However, there should
be no unreasonable delay in starting,
the second trial. The accused is
entitled to that under the law. As
the matter stands now it is as though
DR.. Hyde had never had trial at
all. If he is guilty the sooner he is
finally convicted the better for So
cieiy. II innocent, then he should,
as soon as possible, walk from pris-
on free man to take up again the
thread of his life work.

AN EXODUS OF NEGROES

One of the interesting exhibits
of these parlous days of discomfort
is the exodus of negroes from
Oklahoma to Canada. For several
months past colonization agents
have been working among the ne
gro population of Oklahoma,
painting in glowing colors the at
tractiveness of the Canadian
provinces in the Northwest and
the fortunes to be won from their
fertile soil. The fruits of these
labors became apparent a week or
two ago when the first party of
emigrants, numbering ninety
families, or about 500 negroes in
all started on the long journey to
the newly opened region of the
Northwest. They sold all their
property in Oklahoma, much of it
at A great sacrifice, intending to
homestead quarter section claims
II Canada Many other negroes
are preparing to follow their ex-
ample with the pro5pect that there
will be a heavy exodus. Accord
ing to the reports of the colonial
ton agents, the next party will
number over 1000 families Pre-
parations have been completed to
move this party in the spring. A
treaty provision admits them to
Canada if they have S. each in
cash. These emigrauts as a rule
are fairly we'll educated, many
having beel taught III the govern.
ment schools for Indiaps in the old
Indian Territory.
The causes of the exodus are not
hard to find. Aside from the ad-
vantaRes which they have been
told Canada possesses, there is
general discomfort among the ne
groes on account of adverse legis-
lation in Oklahoma. ''Jim Crow"
coach and depot laws, the grand
father clause" act which prohibits
them from voting separate school
laws and other oppressive measures
have filled their cup OF bitterness
to overflowing. The exodus has
been bitterly opposed by large
per cent of the white population of
the Canadian provinces, but the
Canadian government has decided
that there is no law agains; their ad-
mission, and the exodus will prob
ably continue until the heavy negro
population of Oklahoma is largely
depleted.
There is something sad about this
movement. It seems an anomaly
that the negro should be driven by
hard circumstance to leave the
genial climate of Oklahoma to
build a new home in the bleak, icy
Northwest. The negro is a crea-
ture of tropical sunshine. 1t is
difficult to associate him with
land of frost and snow. By nature
and inheritance he belongs to the
land of cotton. The negroes who
compose this exodus are going
among a hostile population in a
strange land-a people with foreign
ways, customs and laws, the op-
poste of those they have hitherto
known. 1t is more than likely that
the change will be an unhappy one,
and it is not improbable that most
Of these immigrants will fad their
way back across the border before
the SHOWS of many Canadian winters
have chilled their toes.

MOTHERS PLACE OR HOME

MOTHERS PLACE OR HOME
In glancing over the Kansas City
Journal of Saturday, April 8, we ran
across an article that recalls to
memory, incidents of the past and
bears upon the question "The
Mothers Place or Home"
The article we refer to is in re-
gard to wealthy woman of that
city. through an error, being drawn
for jury duty, and considering the
advisability Of insisting that she be
allowed to serve.
The jury or court room is no
place for lady unless compulsory,
and IN this case it can be avoided.
We think this woman, and all
Others should be content with
domestic duties, and leave such
affairs to the sterner sex.
We are all travelling too fast in
the present day. We are not con-
tent with our lot. We have too
many aspirations, desire the lime
light to play upon US too strongly.
Wives and mothers care not for
home as they should. Their great
EST ambition being to attend some
suffrage meeting or grand social
gathering, while their little ones are
left with neighbors or at home with
a nurse. The wife and mother
should be the highest ideal In the
life of man. Instead of being in
attendance at some gathering, social
or otherwise, she should be the
beacon, to draw him closer, cause
him to look forward to the cheerful
greeting of love and devotion after
the days work is over.
If such course were persued by
all women there is many a man who
spends his evenings seeking pleas
ure or entertainment on the streets
and at places of amusement, no
matter how strenuous the day has
been, who would look forward to
the time when he should reach his
own freside. Happy in the thought
that some one cared, that there was
a place of rest prepared for him
just him.
There would be fewer estrange-
ments, less cause for separation and
divorce if this policy were adhered
to more closely.
Once more we suggest. wives and
mothers, be content to rule the
home and leave the affairs of busi.
ness to men. We would all derive
more JOY and innocent pleasure, in
this life, and would find 1t much
sweeter If our homes were built more
securely upon the foundation of this

Decision in Bresky
Case is Reversed
Minneapolis G. St. Louis Road Held
to Have Violated Safety AppIi-
ance Act.

Justice Bum of the Supreme court
reversed Judge William Louis Kelly
of the Ramsey county district court
in an opinion handed down yesterday
in the case of Leo Bresky, appellant,
against the Minneapolis & St. Louis
Railway company.
Bresky was injured at Watertown,
S. D., because of the failure of the
railway company to have a car euuiD-
ped with an automatic coupler. He
set up violation of the federal safe
ty appliance act of March 2, 1893, re-
quiring cars engaged in interstate
commerce to be equipped with safety
devices
Judge Kelley ruled that the car in
question was not being used in inter-
state commerce and directed a verdict
for the railway company. The su-
preme court holds the car in question
was being used in interstate COM
merce and that the safety appliance
governed. A new trial is granted and
Judge Kelley is held to be in error.
Bresky sued for $4,000 damages. The

II made governor, he would bring
to the governors chair a knowledge

the courage to drop their heads into

that the people are uselessly and eX--

He has the culture, taste and re-
finement to represent South Dakota
at her meetings over the country and
bring honor and dignity to the state.
The traits and characteristics which
