TO AID THE HoMEsTEADERs.

Congressman Eben w. Martin, OF
Deadwood, has just completed a three
days tour of the Belle Fourche irri.
cation project. during which the de-
In that section were gone over. Con.
gresham Martin held meetings at
Nisland, Arpan. Newell and Vale, at
each of these places the settlers
fiocked in TO voice their protests. The
trip was made by auto with Presi-
dent Tindall, of the Belle Fourche
Water Users association, in charge,
and the whole project covered. The
burden OF most of the objections Of
the settlers was that their contracts
with the government had called for
two acre feet OF water, whereas they
claimed that in the large majority OF
cases they had received less than half
that amount, and the reservoir is now
dry. Mr.. Martin was besieged with
requests to have the interior depart
ment extend the time limit for pay
ments on the water. as many are now
financially unable TO meet even their
other obligations, owing to two years
of drought. Last year the reservoir
was not completed, and this year no
water was stored. Mr.. Martin told
the settlers that a great blunder had
been made in opening the gates of
the project last fall instead of wait
ing until this spring, when the water
would have been available when most
needed, but that with the continued
cooperation of the water users he
felt that another year would show
a marked difference throughout this
section and that the present contin-
gency had shown how to deal with
the situation. He declared that the
power to extend payments lay with
the secretary Of the interior, and that
every influence would be used to have
the extension granted for at least
two years.

Very much and very valuable infor- rnation has been supplied to the pub- lie by the so-called muck rakers" They have raked the muck heaps of ..frenzied finance" with great indus try and many surprising discoveries. Quite possibly, erors have sometimes crept into their reports, for muck rakers' are but human and by no means ,nfallible, as witness the recent Standard oil Go. But, generally, those interests attacked by the muck rakers" have carefully refrained from carrying their grievances into the courts, and with possibly most ex- cellent reasons. Indeed, the reported fact that J. P. Morgan is engaged in eerraling the magazines addicted to the of Thigh finance" indicates a disposi- ton to admonish them:
 Search not to find what lies too deep-
 ly hid.
 Nor to know things whose knowledge
 Is forbid.
 It is pleasing to be assured that not all Of the undertaking maga- zines have fallen under the Morgan control, and that some are strong enough to withstand all approaches whether In the form of withdrawal of advertising patronage, or of very fa- vorable offers. The result will be that some magazines will continue to ''muck-rake," while others will prob ably defend the '-muck-raked''

DEcIEs-GoULD WEDDING.

Wealthy parents seeking social dis tinction usually play greater part in negot ating international marriages than does Cupid and this may or may not be the case in the match between Lord Decies of England and Mss Vivien Gould. The clamor of the American heiresses for foreign titles is unpatriotic and it is inconsistent with the governmental ideas of the people of the United States. In this republic we deplore the monarchy. the form of government that tolerates dukes, lords and other useless titles. Yet our American girls will sacrifice their fortunes, good homes and the heroism of the true lover to share a title that some foreign government is pledged to support. Rich fathers would not desire that this country be turned into a monarchy, they would take up arms aga nst such a move ment, but still they will persist in en- couraging the very thing they frown upon by using their wealth to buy for their daughters nobleman husband. The shallowness of it all is a ref1ec- tion upon their intelligence.-New Ha- ven Palladium.

THAW LOST ON
 HIS HONEYMOON
Wild Willie, Welded to Bridge port Girl on Good Behavior,
 Has Disappeared

Pittsburg. Feb. 1o-According to in- l form ation given out at North Side Police Headquarters and verified at the Thaw home. William Thaw. 3d. has disappeared while on his honey moon. Detective Frank Lee of the north side force who for many years acted as --.ard for "wlld Willie Thaw. Jr.''. has been pressed into service and 1 is on his way to the West Indies, Thaw having last been head of in i the vicinity of Jamaica. Details of the disappearance are lacking. but it , is feared that Thaw has broken the six months sobriety pledge which was given by his mother to Miss Gladys V. Bradley of Bridgeport. Conn.,, be- fore she would consent to marry him.
 Mrs. William Thaw. 2d. who receiv- ed the word of her sons disappear ance within the past three days. fears the young man may have been lost overheard. Very recently the Thaw home was entered at the dinner hour of S35 GOO taken. including necklace of pearls and diamonds valued at $18,- 000
 William Thaw. Sd. is a nephew of Harry K. Thaw. the slayer of stan ford White. About one year after William Thaw. 3d. created somewhat of a sensation by entering the Pitts burg courts and asking that her son be declared a habitual drunkard and that his property be placed in charge of guardian. By prorising 70 do better. however. young Thaw man. aged to get his mother to withdraw these broceedings The young man has always had penchant for dis appearing suddenly. Some years ago at Cairo. Egypt. for instance. he sud- denly left his mother and sister alone. on a trip n~ound the world ca ching up with them months later in Paris.
 William Thaw. 3d. was married at the Hotel St. Regis. in New York. on Dec. last. to Miss Gladys Virginia Bradley. daughter of MT. and Mrs. Charles Henderson Bradley. in the presence of 100 guests. When the on- gagement was announced in Pittsburg on Aug. 20 1t became known that Mrs. William Thaw. 2d. had guaranteed that her son would be good and keep sober after marriage.
 It was said that when he proposed to Miss Bradley she withheld her con- sent and conferred with her sister. Mrs. Drexel Riddle of Philadelrhia, who later went to Mrs. Thaw and in- formed her that unless some guar, antee be given Miss Bradley would not accept William Thaw. 3d.
 Mrs. Thaw called her son into con- ference and he promised that he would let drink alone for all time and settle down to be good member of society if the girl would marry him. This promise was indorsed by his mother and sent here to Miss Bradley. who then accented the offer of marriage on those conditions
 William Thaw. 3d. had been on his good hehavfor for nearly a year be- fore his marriage under promise to his mother and only broke bounds o-ce when he drank seventy hrandies and sodas at the Alle9fenv Country Club on a wager and for days lay in a hosrital in a critical condition as the result

In an article upon the tariff ques-

In an article upon the tariff ques- ton, Norman Mack's monthly says:
 With the prospect of tariff legisla- tion removed until next December, the W sdom of the Democratic caucus, in. appointing it's Ways and Means Committee, to frame the necessary bill Or bills for action at the opening ses- sion of the Sixty-second Congress. is beyond question. There will remain, perhaps, a difference of opinion as to whether the committee should report one bill embodying all the schedules, or series of bills, taking up the tar if schedule by schedule. This Is cer- tainly not an irreconcilable difference. Wait and seei our Republican friends say. We'll, we will wait and see. The unanimty. good judgment, and good temper shown by the Demo cratic eau GUS, leads us to believe that not only will the Democratic party revise the tariff but that the Democratic revi- sicn will bring immense benefit to the masses of the country for the first time in our tariff memory.

SERMON OF SENSE AND SLANG

London, Feb. 10.-Leonard Brassey member of Parliament for North arpton, and one of the hardest riding sportsmen in Ensland, proved his sporting procivities recently by con- ducting the service at Apelthorpe parish church and preaching the ser mon.
 The vicar. being called away or business. asked the sporting M. F. to get the rector of Fother'ngay to take the service. Brassey promised, and then forgot. Sunday came and he remembered. It was too late to get the Fotheringay rector.
 The congregation could not believe it's eyes when it saw Brassey in the pulpit He read the lessons and gave out the hymns. and wound up by de- livering an informal sermon wh ch everybody said was chock full of com. mon sense and sporting slang.

until the next Senatorial contest, MT. Kenealy would probably be as active for Brandegee then as he was two years ago, for they are law partners. And the position being one of material influence, it is not strange that the Hill Republicans desire MT. Kenealy's retirement or that Senator Brandegee will demand his retention. The result of this contest over the State chair- manship will mark the first stage of the Hill-Brandegee Senatorial contest to occur four years hence.

Speculation as to whether Hon. Michael Kenealy can retain the chair manship of the Republ can State com mittee, is somewhat rife. He was a supporter of Brandegee's candidacy for reelection two years ago and of the defeated Bulkeley candidacy Of this year. A Stamford letter to the Ncrtford Times. says:
 .nre of The ardent admirers of Con- gye-sman HiIl of the Fourth District. which takes in Fairfield and Litchfield count es would be delighted to have him Knocked out of the chairmanship of the State Committee. It is recalled by these Hill men that Kenealy was not what one would call anything like a dead individual when Senator Bran degee was in that hot struggle against Congressman Hill for the Senatorship. not so long ago that the voters of Fairfield County have forgotten the in- cident.

President Taft is said to have given notice that unless Congress votes up- on the reciprocity agreement with Canada, he will call special session of the next Congress. This announce ment follows quite closely the unan- in,ous decision of the House Demo- cratic caucus to support the agree nnent. and is. perhaps. a result of such action, for it indicates that the agree rnent. If carried over. will pass the next House The Senate. is, however the great obstacle. Under It's rules, debate is unlimited. and there would he no great difficulty in extending the debate to the end of the present session. Tn an extra session of the next Congress. the Senate would, despite its increased numbers of Dem- ocratic members. be still the obstacle. for there now seems to be a probabil- ity that the Progressives, or most of them, will antagonize the reciprocity agreement as inimical to the agricul- turaI interests Of their States.
