The new congressional apportionment
bill which passed the house some weeks
ago was killed in the senate by Root Of
New York. This bill gave to South
Dakota an additional congressman and
the state legislature divided the state
into three congressional districts so that
we could elect third congressman If
the Crumpacker bill passed. Perhaps
Il Mr.. Crawford had not delivered him
self Of so much wind in filibustering he
might have secured the passage of the
bill and by so doing have done the state
some service. There is, however, some
consolation in the fact that having
delivered himself in the senate the peo-
pie Of the state will not be called upon

stitution from the accumulated bile Of

Inscription on the monument of a
Newfoundland dog.)
When some proud son of man returns
to earth,
Unknown to glory. but upheld by birth,
The sculptor's art exhausts the pomp
Of woe
And stored urns record whorest below;
When all is done, upon the tomb isseen,
Not what he was, but what he should
have been;
But the poor dog, in life the frmest
friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend
Whose honest heart is still his master
own,
Who labors. fights, lives, breathes for
him alone,
Unhonor'd falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held on
EARTH.
While man, vain insect, hopes to be
forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive
heaven.
Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour,
Debased by slavery or corrupt by power,
Who knows thee well must quit thee
with digust,
Degraded mass Of animated dust!
Thy love IL lust, thy friendship all a

specified character of tenure, whether
held free or mortgaged by owners, and

Objects to Report.

The write-up of the runaway accident
which befell few of our citizens last
Monday forenoon while enroute to the
funeral of Mrs. Wederhoft, which
appeared in the Aberdeen Daily Ameri-
can of Tuesday morning, certainly was
to say the least. To dig up
an old score, especially without the
proof of facts does not meet with the
approval of fair-minded public. The
American must have been over anxious
for "space filler" and their connection
of mans past with an accident while
enroute to funeral seems farfetched
and did not meet with the approval of
the acquaintance. of the parties con-
cerned. They also, in their write-up,
blamed Reynold Batteen, of Worthwhile,
for the accident, claiming it was due to
him passing the rig at high rate of
speed in his automobile, and that the
occupants of the rig SO stated and that
Batteen admitted it himself. This is an
utter falsehood, as this writer was one
of the party. No blame is attached to
anyone 1t was an accident pure and
simple, and would have happened
undoubtedly if there had been no one
else about. The American should grace
fully retract, unless it desires to be

this neighborhood. Chelsea Herald.

IN trade, neither one had thought of a

Chicago city council. 1t was just a
matter of square deal Rooseveltian
policy of which there was some express
sion so long ago. Lorimer disclaimed in
the senate that he reverted to The Incl
dent to invite sympathy. He told the
little human interest story to prove that
the friendship of "Hinky Dink," dem
ocrat, was not born at Springfield or
out of the relationship of ambitious pol
itics. Mike Kenna is a ward politician.
and his ward may be suited TO him, but
the ward stands by "'Hinky Dink down
to date. But maybe Kenna did not stop
doing kindly and manly things when he
took up politics, and that may be the
reason the ward with its poverty and
sin, stands by ''Hinky Dink. The incl
dent related in simple way by Billy

name, serves to suggest another point.
Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king
dom of heaven; but he that doeth the

There are good many suffering and in

Senator Bailey is quoted as saying
that, because OF the inaction of the
conservatives, of which he is the I'M
disputed leader, in the democratic
party, the progressives, or those who
favor the initiative and referendum,
will succeed in writing the next demo-
cratic platform. If the senator is cor
rectly quoted, he gives up the fight

realizes the hopelessness of continuing
the fight He has seen the handwrit-

NEW FORM OF COTTON
GRADING BEING ADOPTED

A letter was received today by the
Commercial Club secretary from the
agricultural department at Washing
ton relative to the official grading of
cotton as promulgated in accordance
with the act of congress last year.
The new method of grading cotton has
been almost universally adopted by
the large cotton exchanges and large
markets, and this form will be used
next season.
The department proposes to furnish
samples, photographs, etc, to those de-
string them for the purpose of in
structing them in the new method of
grading. This matter will be discussed
at the Commercial Club meeting to-
morrow morning, and it is desired that
all interested in the matter be present
in order that intelligent action may
be taken.
