Pierre. Commissioner OF Public

ture. The consideration was $50.
This little piece of land, an ordinary
Mossouri river sand bar, covered with
willows and few cottonwoods, and
built up since the government survey
OF the country, has caused a vast
amount of discussion and raises the
question az to title Of much accretion
land. AL Fort squatted on it a number
Of years ago and almost from the time
of his first occupancy has been trying
to acquire title. The interior depart
ment refused to give a patent be
cause it said that to its official knowl-
edge such a piece of land did not eX-
ist, having been created since the gov
ernment survey. The state land de.
partment refused to give deed say
ing that 1t was in the middle OF a nav
igable stream and hence government
property. Senator Bartine OF OacO-
ma claimed 1t as accretion property.
Matters stood thus when Senator He
drick of Brule county introduced q
bill in the last session deciding the
island to AL Fort in consideration for
the appraised valuation. The measure
was fought tooth and nail by Senator
Bartine, who owned the adjacent

Of the deed and it is expected he will
bring some sort Of an action testing

forty years ago, before a railroad ex-

since that time the railway develop

Baltimore's School Muddle.

And now Baltimore is having trouble
with its school board. Mayor Preston
has removed three of its members in
order to pave the way for the ousting
of Supt Van Sickle This official, ac-
oording to the mayor, seems never to
have been able to get in touch with
the sentiment of our people or in sym
pathetic accord with the teachers of our
schools"
One of the reasons given. for the
overwhelming sentiment against the re-
tention of Mr.. Van Sickle is that he
is an importation. 1t Is believed that
if he is succeeded by new superintend-
ent all "the discord and unrest in the
schools viii be thing of the past
The mayor goes further, and suggests
that at would be wise to select the
superintendent from among the trained
and accomplished educators of our own
city and State"
The situation in Baltimore interests
Washington because here in the past
we have had our own school board
troubles, and because here, as in Balti-
more, We have intrusted to an educa-
tor from another city the responsibility
of managing our schools.

EARLE CONTINUES
ATTACK ON 7. R.
Lawyer Appears Before the
Sugar Trust Probe.

Accusing Theodore Roosevelt and his
Attorney General, Charles ]. Bonaparte,
Of "dereliction Of sworn duty because
Of their failure to prosecute the Amerf-
can Sugar Refining Company, George H.
Earle, jr.. of Philadelphia, said a lot OF
things about the colonel yesterday that
made the members OF the Hardwick
sugar investigating committee sit erect
in their chairs. Wednesday, while on the
stand, Mr.. Earle, who started in pursuit
OF American Sugar after the wrecking OF
the Real Estate Trust Company and the
closing Of the Pennsylvania Sugar Behn-
ing. produced SOME Roosevelt letters
whose contents created something Of a
stir. Yesterday Mr.. Earle became more
personal.
The committee made an effort to re-
veal that there was personal animus be-
hind the attack of Mr.. Earle, but the
witness insisted that he had never had
any trouble with the former President.
His complaint was that President Roose-
welt and Attorney General Bonaparte
ignored his pleadings that unless they
were alert certain evidence that had a
bearing on the alleged completely Of the
American Sugar Refining Company IN
Company and the Philadelphia Real
Estate Trust Company would soon dis
appear. But Mr.. Roosevelt could not be
persuaded. Attorney General Bonaparte
reported to his chief that the evidence
at hand did not warrant prosecution
of American Sugar.

The Arbitration Treaty,

Coincident with the announcement
that President Taft and the British
Ambassador have practically agreed
upon the text of the proposed arbitra-
ton treaty with Great Britain comes
the assertion that Germany's interest
in negotiating a similar agreement is
the result of the Kaisers personal ac-
ton. Il is said that when he visited
England he found the sentiment in
favor of arbitration so widespread that
he determined his own country should
not be laggard in the great movement
toward peace. He therefore directed
that steps be taken for the negotiation
OF treaty between the United States
and Germany upon the same lines as
proposed between this country and
Great Britain.
It IS quite possible that there was
something more in the Kaiser's purpose
than a mere desire to further the prof.
ect of universal peace. If there is to
be a paot between England and the
United States which may have a far
reaching effect Germany would lose
nothing by being placed upon the same
footing. It would be good politics for
Germany to be attached to the United
States by ties of everlasting aniity, es-
peciaily if at any time the German en-
tire should create questions which il
would rather submit to arbitration than
TO war 1t must be remembered in
this connection that under the new
treaty matters Of vital interest and ma
konal honor are te be settled BY ar
Eunent in the council chambers Of The
Hague.

Missouri's Logical Candidate.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that th,
situation In Missouri will not reach
the point where Speaker Clark will bt
compelled to sacrifice his political fu-
ture upon the altar of party devotion
1t would be dignihed and unselfsh
action for him to eliminate himself from
the field of Presidential possibilities
rather than jeopardize the electoral vote
of his State through factional fight
At the same time, the occasion for such
elimination ought not to arise.
1t is true that at the meeting of the
State Democratic convention a resolu-
ton was passed indorsing former Gov.
Folks candidacy for the Presidency.
Since that time conditions have so rad
ically changed that Mr.. Folk ought to
release his fellow-Democrats from their
complimentary Endorsement. He has
not the slightest chance for the nomi-
nation. His more or less meteoric
career has come to an end, and he no
longer commands public interest. Mr..
Clark, upon the contrary, has reached,
through the unanimous vote Of his col
leagues in the House, the high and re-
sponsible position of Speaker, and is,
moreover, seriously considered as one
of the three leading possibilities for the
Democratic Presidential nomination.
OF course, Mr.. Clark does not want
TO precipitate a factional fight in his
State. He thus demonstrates his loyalty
to his party. Mr.. Folk has nothing to
gain by standing in the way, while Mis-
souri, may have everything to gain if
he will realize that the support of the
State should be given spontaneously and
heartily to the man who is its logical
candidate.

First In srIls Making.

trOu Lno 6L- fHu D1sIalcn
A bulletin recently issued by the Census
Bureau shows that the United States
leads the world in manufacturing
silk. with the possible exception of China
from which no figures are obtainable.
We took first place from France in 1905,
and have maintained our lead. We not
only are the greatest manufacturers Of
silk goods, but the greatest consumers.
Although we manufactured in 1909 silk
worth S196, 425,00O, we exported less than
per cent OF the goods we made.
Our silk industry In 1860 amounted to
$12,2 1000. 1t was more than H,0o0, 900
ten years later. It had more than dou-
bled again in 1858, when It was $S7, ,2SS, ,oeo
1t was $40. 7.256.Oo0 in 1908 and more than
s1S3, 100000 i've years later. The per capita
expenditure for silks in this country in
1880 was s146, and In 1903 It was $3.50.
And all the increase In consumption has
been taken care of by home mills. Our
imports of manufactured silks have
shown no increase ia thirty years. the
annual purchases verying little from SS3,-
10000. Our imports of raw silk. admitted
duty free, are valued at about SO, 600,
indicating margin Of about s1A, ,Ooo, 900
a year In the silk business for the Amer
lean manufacturers and their employees.

original outline of the treaty has been
removed by q provision that arbitra-
ton is to be conducted under terms
Of submission subject to the advice and
consent of the Senate. This recognizes
the right Of Congress--or at least Of one
branch Of Congress-to be consulted in
matters of grave import Under the
Constitution, Congress alone has the
authority to declare war. and yet sp-
parently it was to have been ignored

The Lynchings in Georgia.

The Atlanta Constitution ! is bold
enough and brave enough to charge the
public officials of Georgia with shame
full official neglect in allowing two lynch
ings to occur recently in Walton Coun-
ty, of that State. Here is what it says
Notwithstanding this full knowl-
edge of the situation by every Off
cial, from the highest to the lowest,
charged with the sacred response
bility of maintaining the law, two
prisoners, presumed TO be IN the
safe-keeping of the State, and SOL
emnly guaranteed fair trial under
its constitution, were openly will
fully, and deliberately sent to death
at the hands of mob"
The Constitution asserts that the facts
in the case should bring the blush of
shame to every Georgian who believes
in law and order Somebody, it in
sists, is responsible, and should be held
accountable, not only for the purpose
of fixing the blame for criminal official
indifference, but to prevent the repetition
of such an outrage in the future.
1t has long been to the discredit of
the South that it has countenanced the
action of mobs in taking the law into
their own hands. A vigorous protest
such as the Constitution utters is an
evidence of an awakened spirit. Only
when the culpable officials are punished,
however, can Georgia expect to be COM
pletely vindicated in the eyes of the en-
tire country.

When Togo Visits America.

Admiral Togo, the winner of The
greatest sea battle ever fought between
modern ships, will soon be a guest Of
the United States. He has been at
tending the coronation in England, and
will return to Japan by way of America
He will spend seventeen days in this
country.
The honors to be accorded this dis
tinguished sea fighter will be second
only to those conferred on Prince Henry
on his visit to America some years ago,
The United States can well afford to
entertain Admiral Togo, Our army and
navy officers, especially those who have
been in the Philippines, believe that
Japan is preparing for war with this
nation. Whether this be true or not,
no harm will be done if Admiral Togo
be allowed TO study the natural re-
sources of this coutry, our progress and
inventive genius, and permitted to in
spect OR shipyards and our arsenals
He will learn of our ability to equip a
large force of men on land or sea, ard
keep them fighting almost indefinitely
The realization that we are in a position
TO fight, and fight hard, will be carried
back to Japan by Admiral Togo, and
his advice as to the outcome of con-
fict will be based upon observation.
Admiral Togo knows that Japan had
practically reached the limit of her
physical and financial resources in the
war with Russia. Should his country
engage in war with US, Our endurance
will prove much more lasting than Rus
sia's; our borrowing ability is greater
our credit will remain good longer
Should We turn the energies now de-
voted to peaceful pursuits into martial
lines, We would far outweigh the for
mer adversary of Japan. This fact
presented to Admiral Togo will make
his visit one for peace, rather than one
for war. Nor need we fear that any
information given him will be in the
nature of divulging secrets, for Japan
has already made a careful study of
our military accomplishments and the
present condition of our arms. The
visit of Admiral Togo will no doubt
result in supplementing these reports
with cautionary advice which will 60
far toward maintaining peace betweenI
the two countries.
