mysterious conclave about political
Headquarters in Tacoma, Seattle and

timely warning from the results OF
recent elections held in some of the
eastern states. And in passing, it
NAV not be amiss to call attention OF
local city or town politicians to the
results achieved by some of the
eastern cities and towns, which show
that the old time political ward heel
er has seen his day, and that he
may now occupy comfortable place
on the top shelf of large consign-
ment of has-beens.
In the elections held in Maryland,
Massachusetts,, New Mexico, and
Philadelphia, the natural dominant
party was under fire for its connec-
ton with Objectionable political in
terests or methods, and in each case
the head of the party ticket was
defeated.
Maryland. normally democratic, re-
buked machine politics by defeating
a democratic candidate for governor,
who stood for all that German was
sponsor for. New Mexico and Mass
achusetts, naturally republican, elect
ed democratic governors because the
dominant party had fallen too far
under the influence of a stand pat
machine. Philadelphia elected re-
form mayor, Notwithstanding the
machine had been frightened into
nominating a highly respected candid
ate.
In every one of these cases, how
ever. the element that lost the head
of the ticket saved the rest. ana
this means that where popular up
rising won. with possibly one eX-
ception-that of the election in Gin
cinnati-a party victory can scar

an evil system it becomes necessary
for him to center upon single point,

The moral Is self-evident ana
needs little comment. Public Opln-
ion will soon come to control pubic
affairs. or at least to great degree,
and the public, and especially the
taxpayer, must be consulted and tax
en- into account in future elections.

foundations, residences, factory build
ings, warehouses and skyscrapers built
of concrete. In the country the far
mer is taking a constantly increasing
interest in building his improvements
of the best avilable material. He has
been quick to see that concrete is not
only comparatively inexpensive. but
il is durable, fireproof and sanitary.
He is building his little sidewalks Of
ce nent and the cellars, steps, water
troughs, barn floors, fence posts. silos,
drain tile and even some of the small
err buildings are being constructed of
concrete blocks.
Skilled labor is DOT required to do
concrete work. Only a knowledge of
proportions and mixing and a little
care are necessary TO dc good work.
Very frequently the farmer has sand
or gravel on his land. In that case
only the cement has to be bought,
making the concrete work quite cheap.
The ire resistance of concrete is n
of the most important advantages in
its favor. This is particularly true IN
communities where fire protection is
inadequate and in the country. The
farmer needs no longer be- at the
mercy of the fire tiend, as he my now
construct most of his buildings of fire
proof concrete. For fence posts con-
crete is a most excellent material.
Concrete posts can be built easily and
cheaply and IL properly made, last for
ever.
The cement industry has grown
enormously in the last few years.
Over seventy five million barrels were
made last year and each year shows
an increase in the use OF
cement. Concrete seems destined to
, replace practically all other materials
for general building purposes. The
Cement Shows which are held every
year at New York, Chicago and Kan
sas City, illustrate the widespread
interest In cement. These exhibitions
attract thousands of people from al
over the country who.are interested IL

The popularity Of the guessing con-
test held by the Lumber Company is
in a measure also an indication of the
popularity which cement has won as a
material for building and general con-
struction. Cement Is rapidly replac-
ing wood, brick and stone. Portland
Cement concrete has proven itself a

indicates the presidents course is in
accord with popular sentiment, or the
opposite, can only be told when the
voters pass upon his administration as
a whole. Certain it is, that the presi-
dents friendly manner, his smiling
good humor, his appearance Of good
nature and of great ability, had its
usual effect upon the people, and it is

Taft's Visit
President Taft has come ard gone
Aberdeen has scored a great triumph
in it's entertainment of the president.
The president in turn has created an
impression which was signitied by a
cordial greeting and immense turnout
of people. The crowd in the city was
all that was expected by the time the
chief executive had spoken.
In point of attendance Aberdeen
made one of the most notable demon
strations of any of the towns along the
entire route and comparing population
with crowd it was notable.
Without doubt the personal fortunes
of Taft have been improved by coming
to South Dakota. His coming and his
speaking to the people seems to have
established a closer bond and he left
far more friends here than he found

PRESIDENT WIN. TAFT
MAKES \ SWING THROUGH
SOUTH DAKOTA
GIVEN A GREAT OVATION
At Every Place Where HIS
Special Train stopped. His
Smile and Generality
Gains Him Votes

President VIM. H. Taft made a tour
through South Dakota during the past
week. He came in through the Black
Hills country in which he spent a day.
He made an over Sunday stay at Pierre,
where he was the guest Of Congress
man Burke. Monday he spoke at
Miller, Huron, Redfield and Aberdeen,
and in each city, as was the case in the
Hills, it is reported that he was
accorded the largest crowds that ever
assembled to hear a speaker and from
the general impression the president
made good and is much more popu-
lar in South Dakota than he was pre-
ceding his visit. We have made
arrangements with the Aberdeen News
for it's report of the meeting but some
late advertising compels us to lay it
over until next week. We print the
editorial comments of the News and
the American to show how the meet
ing was seen through different eyes in
Aberdeen and will give our readers the
complete report next week.
The Presidents Visit
Everybody had a good time at the
banquet to President Taft last night.
That was a foregone conclusion. The
business men of Aberdeen always
make good at an entertainment of that
sort. Their long experience at ban
quoting, semi-annually, the members
of the South Dakota legislature aided
them in making the banquet for the
president a success. But, as had beer
announced before, the banquet, after
all, was merely an incident in the days
proceedings. There were about 15(
people at the banquet, while there
were several thousand visitors here t.
see the president, and every effort wa!
exerted, and the News believes with
marked degree of success, to make
every one of those thousands of visitors
feel they were fully as welcome t.
Aberdeen as was the president. Balls
fire department exhibition runs, FREE
lunch at the Guild hall of st. Mark
church, and other attractions helpeC
amuse the crowds before and after tn
president had made his address.
The president was in a fine hume
yesterday. The celebrated Taft smil
was frequently in evidence, and he
seemed to be we'll pleased with hi
reception in Aberdeen. The crowd tina
heard the president was a remarkabl
one in many respects. There was les
enthusiasm than is customary in Amer
can crowds when the chief executive i
present. Applause was infrequen
during the presidents remarks upol
world peace, but the intensness wit
which the people listened to the address
was most remarkable. Whether i

ing as his subject. "The American Of
Today" DR.. Mabie developed the
thought that the American of today
was not understood even by himself,
but that he was awakening to a reali-
cation Of what his country was ac-
complishing and the possibilities that
lay in the future.
DR.. Mabie said that Americans felt a
certain sense Of possession in the
European countries from which their
ancestors came, but all this lay in the
past, and the America of the present
was the vital interest Although the
speaker admitted that many wrong
conditions existed, he said that in the
spirit Of brotherliness and helpfHlness
America was far ahead. In Europe, he
said, the interest was In wonderful
old buildings; in this country it is in
human life. And yet, said DR.. Mabie,
our ideals in education are above the
material. and there is art and poetry
in our cities.
