IT is too early to talk of the presi.
dents veto of the wool bill as an issue
in the coming campaign. Before
that opens there will be another ses.
sion of congress and the tariff on wool
and many other things may be lower
ed scientifically. 1t may as well be
understood now as later, however,
that whatever reduction there is will
be absorbed by the trust before the
goods reach the ultimate consumer,
just as was the case with sugar. The
ordinary person has no license to get
worked up over this question.

you are aware of the extraordinary
attraction to be offered this year at the
state fair, when the Curtiss aeroplane
will make daily flights from the avia
ton field in front of the huge grand
stands. These flights will consist of
racing an auto, flying for height, fol-
speed, etc. The aviator will soar high
in the air in circles, and with hair
raising swoop will descend to the
starting point. Edison, the great in
ventor, said that in twenty years aerial
navigation will be firmly established
and on a practical working basis.
Here is real opportunity to see future
locomotion in the making. Our

and early growth of steam power; it
is now our privilege to see the begin
ming and evolution of air craft.

WARMING UP

The entrance of Judge Frank Me-
Nulty, of Aberdeen, into the political
arena as a candidate for congress from
the Second district is the most i'm
portant political news of the cam
paign in South Dakota. 1t reaches
out and beyond the district in which
Mr.. McNulty resides and touches
closely the question of the United
States senatorship For some time it
has appeared that there would be but
two republican candidates in the field
for the senatorship. Thomas Sterling
and Senator Gamble. Congressman
Burke, who has been considered, has
given no indication that he would
enter the lists for this Office, and the
impression gained ground that he
had gwen up the idea, but the Nc
Nulty announcement puts new face
on the matter. Mr.. McNulty Is
popular and a very strong man in the
Second district, but it is not likely

A GREAT railroad strike on all the
Hartman lines is threatened by the
shop men, involving nearly 10000
men employed in different capacities.
The question involved seems to be
the recognition of a new union. The
matter is up for settlement this
week This matter of differences be-
tween railroad managers and employ
ers is growing greater and greater
every year, and therefore becomes
more difficult of settlement. The
men are becoming better organized,
and the managers know that sooner
or later about so much freight mnst
be moved, if it is not moved this
month it will be the next. Both sides
are thus confident and becoming what
appears to them to be more
secure in their position. 1t is only
matter Of short time when this
country will see great railroad
strike. Probably nothing will be
done 10 prevent it, but when it does
occur the people will have to "pay the
freight" and then something will
have to be done to prevent repeti
ton. That something will be the
placing of the operation of railroads
under control of the interstate
commerce commission. There is no
solution of the difficulty except
federal control.

INJURED IN AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT.

Denny Burns, of Iroquois, narrowly
escaped death last Wednesday when
an automobile in which he was riding
was hit by box car on railroad
crossingin Watertown
Tuesday morning John Pyle, OF
Huron, and Clinton Halliday, of Iro
quois, left here on an advertising trip
for the state fair, with Denny Burns
driving the Zahllar car. When with.
in four miles of Watertown the car
broke down and the boys caught a
ride into Watertown in a passing
auto. Early the next morning Denny
went to a garage and hired car and
a driver to take him out to where the
broken machine was left for the pur-
pose of bringing it into town SO that it
could be repaired and the trip con-
tinued. As they were crossing the
Dakato Central tracks within the city
limits, with the garage man driving
the automible, box car driven by
a switch engine crashed into the ma
chine, carringit over a hundred feet
before it stopped. Tie driver miracu-
!ously escaped with few scratches.
but Denny was badly cut and bruised
and his clothing torn into shreds.
He was taken 70 the hospital where
his wounds were dressed. He re
mained there until Saturday and was
then brought to Iroquois. He is now
at his home in Manchester where he
will remain until he is again able to
take up his work at the Zahllar livery.
One hand was badly cut and small
bone broken, one wrist cut, a cut in
the head and bruises and cuts all
over his body. The automible, a
heavy machine, was literally broken
into small pieces. The escape of the
occupants was almost miracle
All the eye witnesses to the acci-
dent state that the engineer neither
blew the whistle or rang the bell, and
that the car driven by the engine
came to the crossing swiftly and noise
lessly, the attention of the automobile
that was struck being directed to-
wards another auto that was just
ahead of them,
1t was bad mix up and while
Denny received bad treatment he can
be truly thankful that it was no worse.

that he would throw up his position
on the bench to engage in fight for
the congressional nomination with
Burke, who is also strong and has the
prestige of years Of service in congress.
But if McNulty were assured that
Burke intended to become a candi
diate for senator, he would be warrant
ed in entering the field for congress
with good chances of success.
That the campaign is warming up
at an early date is indicated on all
sides. The possibility that Governor
Vessey will be candidate either for
congress or for the senate, is of deep
interest as he is strong with the
people and would make good run
for either place. Then Dean Sterl
ing is pushing his candidacy for the
senate in way to indicate that he
will be formidable candidate.
There are now no new develop
ments in the governship except the
talk of stalwart opposition to the
candidacy of Lieutenant Governor
Byrne seems to have subsidized With
the indications there will be no COM
plete stalwart and progressive states,
and having no candidate of their own
for governor, the stalwarts are not in
a position to raise serious objections
to Byrne. Everything points to the
coming campaign as one of the most
interesting in many years. = Sioux

The announcement of the candi
dacy of Judge McNulty, of Aber-
deem, for congress will materially
change the political situation here
in the second district. With only
Glass in the race against Burke
nearly everyone conceded the return
of Burke TO congress. With Nc
Nulty in the race it is entirely diff
ferent situation. INSTEAD of conceding
Burke's return to congress, all his
friends can now do is to "hope for the
best. McNulty is an able and ropu.
lar man; his acquaintance among
the voters of the district is more ex
tensive than Mr.. Burke's and he halls
from the more densely populated
part of the district On the other
hand Mr.. Burke has the advantage
of being the more experienced politi-
clan and ofihaving long line of
postmasters to his credit who can
probably be depended upon to help

ness men is that a measure drawn
without any serious consideration of
the actual effect on the industry must
necessarily be disruptive to business.
The other, and the more important
one from a conservative viewpoint, is
found in the presidents insistence
that no revision of the schedules shall
be attempted except on the strength
of exact information furnished by the
tariff board. The president was
elected overwhelmingly on plat
form declaring for tariff revision on
the protective principle, the measure
of protection being virtually the
difference in the cost of production
at home and abroad. And having
been so elected he feels it his duty to
oppose the enactment of any tariff
bill ignoring the protective principle
as thus defined.
If we grant that the above is true,
then arises the question: Why did
president Taft sign tariff revision
(upward) bill containing what he
termed an ''indefensible" woolen
schedule which was tightly drawn by
the lobby for the wool manufacturing
trust? We grant that the trust
schedules in the Pavne-Aldrich tariff
were scientific" but they are all
in the interest of the trust. Look at
it any way you will, President Taft
has not been consistent on the tariff
question. He seems to approve of a
raise without the sanction of tariff
board, but any reduction must be
scientific" and come through tariff
board that will report the Lord
Almighty only knows when. Mr.
Taft's attitude on the tariff question
has.cost the republican party dearly.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA

The truth about Alaska is that its
mineral wealth is trust of the Gov
ernment for the whole people. The
extreme conservatiopist's idea of such
trust is something to be locked up
until an ideal plan is devised for its
use. The ultra conservation idea is
as useless as the monopoly idea is
mischievous. The one holds Alaska's
wealth away from the people indef-
nitely. The other throws it away
now.
What is needed is plan for the i'm
mediate development and exploita
tion of Alaska's mineral wealth for
the benefit of the people-not the
people living in Alaska alone, not tS-k
people who live on the Pacific Coast
alone, but the people of the whole
Country. 1t must be a plan that
prevents capital from monopolfa
ing the coal deposit, for instance, as
capital has succeeded in monopoliz
ing the anthracite deposits of Penn
sylvania On the other hand, unless
the government itself undertakes the
work, it must be a plan that offers
fair rewards 10 capital. Otherwise
capital will not enter Alaska and
mine coal
The American people are not ready
to see their Government go into the
railroad and mining business, as has
been. suggested in connection With
Alaskan development. 1t is true that
the government is building the
Panama Canal and is operating the
Panama Railroad. But the work of
piercing the Isthmus is gigantic
public work of so costly and difficult
a description that private capital
would not undertake it And the
strategic military purpose of the
canal, which makes it necess sity,
even if it does not pay profit, puts
the whole project on different foot.
ing from the exploitation of Alaska.
The American plan is to enlist pri-
vate capital in railroad building and
to regulate the operation of the
roads built in such way as to assure
fair rates and equal treatment to all.
We have been half century work
ing out that plan, and there is still
much to be done. But we have the
principle and the foundation. 1t will
be an easy matter. if Congress attacks
the problem on the right lines, to se-
cure the building of development
railroads in Alaska under such regula-
DRY provisions as to prevent the re,
urrence of such conditions as have
permitted the railroads to monopolize
the anthracite coal business.
Similarly the development of coal
and copper mines, which the build
ing of railroads must precede, can be
so arranged as to conserve the peoples
rights and yet offer a profitable field
for Investment 1t is only necessary
that Congress steer middle course
between the Scylla OF monopoly and
the Charybdis of ultrr conservatism
that would prevent all develop
