M obridge on a charge of robbing a box
car in the Milwaukee railroad yards at
Bristol, had their preliminary examina-

Pit Brow Women,

The Dit brow women work at the
mouths Of English coal mines in sheds
open to the weather Mt the sides. The
work which they perform has to do
with the sorting Of the coal according
TO size and quality and the freeing OF 1t
from stones. There Is some lifting to
be done and some pushing. There Is
some risk, but not a great deal. Wo-
men have been hurt by the catching
of their clothing in the betting n
machinery. but Of late there has been
more care than formerly in covering
the parts of the machinery which
proved dangerous. At the present
time accidents are rare and confined
for the most part to the crushing OF
fingers. There is dust constantly riS-
ing. and this makes the work untidy.
Women working in coal get black
faces as well as men, but they wear
cloths on their heads. which keep the
dust out of their hair, and the fact
that they are in the open air, together
with the constant muscular eXertion
required. is on the whole beneficial to
their health. Many Of the girls are
fine figures and all have good color
They prefer the occupation to domes,
tic labor or employment In factories.
The wages they carr range from a
shilling to rs. Sd. a day. In the vari-
Gus colliery towns there are upward
of 5000 women thus employed.-Ex,

page at last legislative session was
ruptured Saturday by being piled upon
in a kid football game and died shortly
afterwards. He was a boy of unusual

At a large and enthusiastic meeting
at Miller Friday night, Mayor Christ
presiding, X. O. Richards explained
the proposed primary bill which has
become a state issue and answered

seemingly nailed many points brought
out in Senator Crawford's criticism.

Another Empty Gun

The accidental discharge of an old
and long unused revolver nearly caused
the death Of Mrs. AGolph Tulowitzki at

charged. The bullet struck Mrs. Tul-
owitzki on the left side just below the
collarbone and lodged near the back
bone, inficting a dangerous wound.

making a half dozen or more speeches
daily, Mr.. Taft appeared in splendid
physical condition. His voice was
clear as a bell, and he spoke vigor
ously, clearly and at times eloquently
calling forth frequent applause from
his hearers.
After paying graceful compliments
TO the young women of st. Agnes
Guild, the Commercial club, the PEG
pie of Aberdeen and those OF South
Dakota, the president took up the
subject of the enforcement of the
antitrust law during his administra
ton, addressing his hearers as bust
ness men and speaking in part as fol
lows:
Enforcement of the Act
You are interested, therefore, il
the question of the enforcement o
the antitrust act. That was an ac
passed twenty years ago, for the pur
pose of restricting the movement to
ward a combination to control al
prices, and to maintain a monopol.
in the manufacture and sale of al
merchandise across interstate lines
For twenty years we have been al
tempting to enforce that act and hav'
it properly construed. There ha
been a good deal of difference of opin
ion in respect to it, and while Their,
have been a good many court decis
ions, men have still maintained tina
there was much uncertainty as to 1T
meaning. Now two supreme cour
decisions have beeen rendered, ION
with respect to the Standard Oil con
pany, and the other with respect t
the American Tobacco company.
I'm each case the supreme cour
has held that the history of the con
bination showed it to be a %conspirac
in violation of the antitrust law,
conspiracy to establish a monopoly,
conspiracy to exclude competitio
and a conspiracy to control prices.
DEGREES Not Entered
Those DEGREES have not yet bee.
entered. They are under discussion
but we can be very sure, from tn
statement of the supreme court, tina
before those DEGREES are finally ell
tered and approved by the suprem
court, they will be self acting in tina
under the effect of a permanent il
junction which would subject ther
to constant supervision in the coul

tween four or five parts into which
il may be necessary to divide them.
history of the antitrust movement. |
consider it an event that all men
should rejoice in, for the reason that
il is a decision by the supreme court
that we must return to the period or
competition, that free competition as
he basis upon which that statute
rests. Unless we are willing to give
up competition and go into fixing
prices by the government, then We
ought to rejoice at being rough
hack where we can make progress
along legal lines.
1T was said at the time OF the
decision, because the court used GER
tain language with reference to the
construction to the statute that the
statute had been emasculated, n that
it's value for the purpose OF suppress
ing INJURIOUS combinations was lost.
"The railroads are now working I'M
der a statute and when the corpora
| tons do it is our business to see that
they receive just compensation.
'"The railroads should not be at
tackled simply because they are rail-
roads. They should be allowed a rea-
| sonable compensation for their SER
vices. Neither should other corpora
tons that comply with the law be at
tackled simply because they are cor
porations.
Replies to Bryan
my Interpretation OF the ERECT OF
the supreme courts decision in the
Standard Oil and the Tobacco Trust
cases has not been answered. At
| have seen no answer to 1t. Inc
only attempted answer to my conten-
ton has made a charge that is an In
suit to both the members OF the SUI
preme court and myself. An Insult
rejecting so strongly upon the honor
of the members of the court and upon
nv own honor that l could not find
words strong enough to express my
resentment, were it not for the TACT
that believe the American people
regard the charge less seriously than
| do. The charge has been made that
| have purposely made my appoint
ments to the supreme bench in order
that the antitrust statute shall be
e~masculated. There is nothing to
that charge. I do not believe the peo-
pie think there is anything to it. l
am proud of the appointments have
made to the supreme court OF the
United States. l am proud OF the
character and of the ability of the
men | have named as members OF
that tribunal"
The Tariff
Taking up the subject of the tariff,
the president said:
Taking up the question of he tariff,
the president defended his course in
vetoing the three tariff bills passed by
the extra session of congress, large
Iy because the congress had no ac'
curate data upon which to go, and
tariff-making, under present condi'
tions, is largely guess work. He re-
lated how he had endeavored to in
duce congress to pass a tariff com
mission bill, and upon the failure OF
the bill to pass, through a %fulibuster,
he had availed himself of the privil4
eye granted in the passage of an ap'
preparation of $500, 600 for purposes
of investigation, 10 appoint a tariff

To Succeed Bishop Johnson

Bishop Rowe is a man of family
about As years old and is one of the
heroic bishops of the church, having
been missionary bishop of Alaska for
ten years: and has had a wide and
strenuous experience with the Indians
of that northern land, as well as with
white men who were wild as well as
others who are civilized. This exper-
fence will make him especially well
fitted for work in South Dakota.
Election by the house of bishops
does not, however, make Bishop Rowe
bishop of South Dakota. His election
must be confirmed by the standing
committee or the various dioceses of
the church. After such confirmation
he will at orce become bishop of South
Dakota, which will probably be about
the first of next January.
Dean Biller of Calvary cathedral,
and Rev. +. B. Barnett, Of Mitchell,
who were in Sioux Falls, agree in say
ing that Bishop Rowe is a man well
fitted for the duties of the office Of
bishop of South Dakota.

Jugs of a lot Of the cattle rustling work
which has been going on in Stanley

1t was alleged that the ~janitor of the
Jail said he had been offered 5000 to
help the prisoner to escape, and Judge
Hughes called into court in Stanley
county, Sheriff Laughlin, Jailer Nc
Mullen and Janitor Reisdorfer, with
various other witnesses. Reisdorfer
denied having made the statement
charged, but said he did say he thought
there were people who would give
SIS, 900 to have Moore get away.
Jailer Mullen told of the manner of
escape, and there was nothing further
doing until Friday, when Tolbert
Maupin, an old-time resident of Stanley
county, who now lives at Dupree, was
called to the stand, aud testified that
he had a verbal message sent by a
woman to Moore, and attempted to
deliver it, but the jailer would not
allow him to communicate with the
prisoner. He was asked to give the
name of the woman, and the message,

For the first time, President
Taft Monday night in his speech
before the Aberdeen CONNER
cial club, made reference TO the
recent attack by William Jen-
nings Bryan upon the presi-
dents appointments to the fed
eral supreme court. Bryan in
timated that the president had
been influenced by improper or
at least unworthy motives in
making his appointments to the
supreme bench, and had APP
pointed men who yer friendly
to corporations, asking the
president to make public the
recommendations given him re-
garding the qualifications of the
men he had appointed. The
president did not mention Bry-
ans name, but replied to the
attack of the N~ebraSkan so di-
rectly that there could be no
mistaking his meaning, when
he said, in the curse of his ad-
dress last night:
Il am proud of the men /
have appointed to the supreme
court. The records of the men
whom | have appointed to the
supreme court + sufficient
refutation of the charge made
against them and against my
self. I would be more indig-
nant than | am over the charge
if | believed the people did not
already accept the charge at its
true worth"

The latest political rumor to float
this way is that Judge Frank McNulty,
of Aberdeen, will not be in the running
for the lower house of congress when
the primaries come around, but that
he will be making a campaign for the
senate instead. The report is to the
effect that the ultra progressives are
not satisfied with Thomas Sterling as
their senatorial candidate. This ele-
ment has been feeling around for a
candidate and seems to be centering on
the Aberdeen man.
Regardless of whether Judge Nc
Nulty continues in the congressional
race, or tries for the senate, Frank
Anderson, of Webster, is keeping an
eye on the judicial position now occu-
pied by McNulty. By the time the
campaign opens properly McNulty will
be practically obliged to resign from
the bench to carry on a campaign, and
when that situation arises Anderson is
ready to go after the judicial position,
for which he was al applicant at the
time of the appointment of McNulty. =
