THE MITCHELL CORN PALACE.

MltCnell lnlrteenLn annual lOrn
Belt Exposition this year is schedul
ed for the week commencing Sept.
ember 25th and closing September
Both The Corn Palace which is the
prominen! feature of this Exposition
is the only one of its kind in the world,
and serves as nation wide advertise
ment of the states resources. There
are no finer agricultural exhibits to be
found anywhere. The beautiful de-
signs displayed in the decorations of
the building attract the attention of
all classes from near and far. No
one who has ever had the privilege OF
veiwing freshly decorated Corn
Palace, can go away without the i'm
preston that he has seen a real art
exhibit, a picture in natures own
celors.
Aside from the decorations, there
is given the most wholesome kind of
entertainment. Those who are look
ing for amusement and relaxation
from their cares, will find in the pro-
gram presented something that they
will fully appreciate and which they
will not forget for many day.
Mitchell prides herself upon the
continued success of these exposi-
tions, and just as long as the Corn
Palace is maintained as Mitchell
institution, just so long can the visitor
be assured of getting his moneys
worth, and of greater Corn Palace
each recurring year.
Work is already under way on the
decorations for the 1911 Corn Palace.
The arrangement of the different
colors of corn in the makeup of the
designs will be something entirely
different from what has been present
ed in years past.
The people of Mitchell have right
to ask the co operation of the citizens
of the state for their Corn Belt Elk
position, for, while it is supported in
its entirety by the business men of
that city, there are few who are not
willing to admit that it is the strong
est argument attempted in support
of our claims that South Dakota is
getting into the front ranks as a corn
producer.
One might write book on the sub
ject, giving in detail his impressions
during a weeks stay at the Corn
Palace. Suffice to say that the
stranger is always welcome within
the gates of Mitchell. The citizens
open their homes to those who can
not be Accommodated at the hotels,
and special means are provided for
the attention and comfort of all visitors.
The event is looked forward to by peo-
pie who spend their annual vacation
time here and go home feeling better
for having attended.

Our two senators are trying to
make it very clear that no newspaper
man need expect Office, if they can pre-
vent it, unless they are lucky enough
to guess the winner in the primaries.
Editor Hacket of Parker has been
defeated for confirmation as post
master at Parker because he didn't
support Gamble, and Editor E. B.
Yule of Alexandria has been given
like treatment because he did not
support Crawford in the primaries.
The Dell Rapide Times Tribune says
that newspaper men who do not
crook the pregnant hinges of the
knee that thrift may follow fawning"
will save trouble by declining to
go after postoffices; and this is true,
until such time as there is change
in this policy. To punish news
paper man for position be takes
honestly in a primary, if he supports
the nominees of the party in the
election, is to lay the foundation for
the ruin OF party organization, and it
is coming fast in South Dakota
Argus Leader.
As long as something must serve as
a text for long articles attacking our
senators we presume this rejection of
the appointment of two pastmasters
will serve as we'll as any thing else.
But we fail to see the justice of it
All this tommyrot about these men
being rejected because they did not
"crook the pregnant hinges of the knee
that thrift may follow fawning" is
high sounding, but will deceive no one
who will stop to think for moment.
Any one with an ounce of horse sense
knows that these men were named
for the positions upon the recommen
dation of the congressman because
they did bend the pregnant knee"
The only difference is they happened
to bend in the wrong direction to Sc
cure confirmation. They both went
into the political game, and should
take their medicine. Gamble and
Crawford would be fools to allow
appointments to be confirmed
when those appointment were in the
nature of payment for opposition
to themselves. Dose anyone think
for moment that the congressman
would appoint any one who had
opposed them7 There is no record
of their ever having done SO. Neither
do they give the newspaper man
much of show as evidenced by the
appointment for the office here in
De Smet where they could find a
faithful stalwa-t editor When a
man goes into political fight from
principle all thought of reward is lost.
Wheh he goesin for Office and merely
attaches himself to some principle or
individual as a vehicle to carry him

take his medicine like man or quit
the game. A man is never singled
out for postmaster because of his
superior ability for the place; there
are dozens in the same town who are
just as able or more so, and usually
the later would devote more time to
the job. These appointments are
purely political. If a man lands the
Job he is in luck, if he fails, be has no
kick coming and has no right to bur,

and wailings.

AN UBIQUITOUS SYSTEM.

We hear great deal said about the
certainty of president Taft's renom-
ination because of the large vote of
the southern states in the national re-
publican convention, which states
have an unduly large representation,
but how absurdly out of proportion is
this represention, and the iniquitous
system of bossism which it fosters, is
not realized by the people in general
or there would be great protest go
up all over the country against it.
One of most necessary reforms in
politics today is changing of the basis
of representation in the national con-
ventions so that it will be on the basis
of the party vote, as it is in all state,
district and county conventions.
Each state is allowed a number OF
delegates in the national conventions
equal to twice its number of electoral
votes, and without any regard what,
ever to the party vote in that state.
Thus the state of Mississippi which
cast 1853 votes for Taft at the last
president election, had twenty votes
in the convention which nominated
him, while South Dakota which cast
$1,000 votes for Taft had but
eighteen delegates in the national
convention. just why four thousand

SPACE writer's for the daily pape rs
are sending out considerable stuff
from Pierre speculatiEg as to the
probable action Of Congressman
Burke. They are certain that he will
either run for CANDLES seat in the
senate, or run for the nomination for
congress to succeed himself, or retire
to private life. In this instance they
seem to know about as much as Mr..
Burke knows himself at the present
Mime. Mr.. Burke is confronted by a
peculiar situation, one more difficult
than any before experienced In his
political career. Heretofore the two
congressman have been elected at
large. 1t is easier to start the whoop
and hsrrah for man throughout the
entire state under the convention
system than it is in smaller district
under the primary, and especially is
luis true Wucu al oPpouChe 10 OSseOi
known to the rank and file of the
voters throughout the larger portion
of the district Thus Mr.. Burke finds
it difficult to know just what to do.
1t is true that he has string of post
masters to his credit, but even they
are slow to jump into the game when
il is well known that heads have been
chopped off for pernicious political
activity, and this danger looms up
greater when it is realized that the
other fellow may win out in the
primary. Mr.. Burke is an all around
good fellow, a very pleasant man to
meet, but so is Judge McNulty who
is out after Burke's seat in congress,
and McNulty has the advantage of
having been progressive from the

The railroad commission has con.
verted back into state treasury the
sum of S9,722, that amount being
left over from the amount of $25, 900
for taking the physical valuation of
railroads in the state. By the way
this $4,000 appropriation was part
of the "wasteful extravaganza" about
which so much was said in the effort
to defeat Governor Vessey for renom
ination. The balance saved out of
the appropriation shows that the work
authorized was done with economy
and that the states money was not
being wasted. Sioux Falls Press.

IT is given out from Beverly, Mass,
that the presidents 1900 miles trip
is to be one of education along the
line of government problems, 1t is
well. If the president will be in a re-
ceptive mood, and will apply himself,
he can secure a considerable educa
ton along that line. From his record
we judge that he knows too little of
the west, and too much of the east
If he would only enter on this trip in
the right spirit, he would gain much.

ALL TRAFFIC RECORDS BROKEN

Grand Junction, Oct. 26.-All records
for heavy traffic on the Rio Grande
Junction line between New Castle and
Grand Junction were broken during the
month of September, 1911 according
to reports made up by local railroad
officials. The report is made upon a
wheelage basis. In other words when
freight car with eight wheels is pull
ed from Grand Junction to New Castle
a distance of II miles, eight times n
or GIG wheels were moved. The total
number of wheels moved during Sep
tember was 11,114,376. This means that
l6,4l7 cars were pulled between this
city and New Castle. The total num-
ber of trains was 1907 which is an
average of nearly forty every day. The
average number of cars to the train
was 16. The total wheelage last year
in September was s,756,43s or total
of 14,231 cars. All records were broken
this year.

RUDOLPH FIGHTS CONGREGATION

Denver, Oct. 25.-Rev. W. s. Ru-
dolph is nursing bruises and other mem
bers of the United Presbyterian churcn
are using soothing lotions as the result
of 1O-minute fsticuff last night over
church affairs. The board of COVER.
nors attempted to hold an executive
session without Rudolph and his adhec-
ents and an earnest fight ensued.
The Reverend Rudolph referred to in
the above dispatch was pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Glenwood
Springs twenty years ago. Upon leav-
ing here he went to Denver where he
soon organized an independent y"
Presbyterian church which has been in
dependent enough to keep him in hot
water the most of the time from that
day to this. OF late years he has been
connected with children's home in
Denver and has often been seen on the
western slope while on his collection
tours. He has not been recognized by
the Presbyterian synod for several
years.

A POPULAR DENVER HOTEL

Last week great many of the citi-
zens of Glenwood Springs and Garfield
county visited Denver, and it is an ad-
mitted fact that more than half OF
them made their headquarters at thu
Auditorium hotel.
This is one of Denver's newest and
best hotels, the appointments being in
every respect absolutely first-class. The
fact that there is no bar in connection
with the house, therefore, none of the
boisterous conduct which often is a
result of such institutions, makes IL
especially attractive to family patron
age.
The house is owned by Watson Broth
ers of the Denver Mantel and Tile COM
pany and Mr.. R. G. Rippeteau is de-
voting his time and energy to make
the management ar unqualified success,
and in this respect ne is succeeding
remarkably well, as the patrons from
this territory will gladly attest.

DISCUSSES FOOD VALUES

At the Dry Farming congress held
the past week in Colorado Springs and
at which Mrs. Eugene Grub of this
county was delegate, the first session
of the farm women was held. Among
the interesting lectures was one by Mrs.
Mary Pierce Zile of the Kansas Agri,
cultural college ON food values. She
couched her address in the simplest Ian
guage and was easily followed by the
ladies who heard her.
"The subject of tuod vaiues," she
said, "has been complicated in recent
years by modern methods of transpor
tation, which have brought the markets
of the world to our very door. The re
suit has been tendency to serve any
thing that is new and novel, without
consideration Of its body building val
ues. Millions of dollars have been spent
for research in the development of a
system for feeding domestic animals to
insure efficiency, but until recently we
have been content to remain in iguor
ance Of what factors contribute to the
development of an efficient body and
mind in mankind.''
Going into detail she pointed out the
physiological structure of the human
body with reference to tissue building,
describing the elements necessary for
a perfect body and showing a number
of charts which gave the perfect bal
anced ration.
The practicability of her address as
applied to the daily menu in farm
homes was emphasized in her conclud-
ing sentences. Economy of food ma
terials is entirely compatible with good
living,'' she said. "The cheapest food
is that which supplies the most nutri-
ment for the least money and the most
economical is that which is cheapest
and at the same time best adapted to
the needs of the individual for whom it
is intended. The plain, standard food
materials are as digestibe and nutrl-
tious as any of the costlier materials
The trouble lies in the fact that we try
to make our diet suit our palate by
paying high prices for materials rather
than by the skillful cooking and serv
ing of the Inexpensive materials

EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE

| The conference of Episeopalan cler-
| gymen which has been in session IN
| Glenwood Springs since Friday mon
| ing closed with the service )f Sun lay
The sermon On Sunday morning hy
he Rev. c. Rollit oS IInueapols
| was remarkably clear and strorg pr"-
sentation of the missionary policy of
the church, showing the encouraging
advance made in this fundame ntal fea-
ture of the church s life during the
past few years, and explaining the rea-
sonableness of the plans set forth by
the board of missions looking to the
further development of interest along
this line. Mr.. Rollit speaks with the
authority of one in touch with the
central organization, he being the sec
retary of the Sixth Missionary De
partment, which comprises eight states
from Minnesota on the east to Cuora-
do on the west His knowledge of the
conditions throughout this vast region
gives especial weight to his words All
who heard him Sunday were deeply
impressed.
The final service in the evening was
beautiful close to this helpful confer
ence. The sermon by the Rev. j. W.
Hard, lately from Utah, and henceforth
to be connected with the work in west
ern Colorado, gave just the fine spirit
ual note which was wanted; it was an
explanation of the symbolism of the
Cross-a real gospel sermon straight
from the heart and reaching the com
mon heart.
At the morning service Bishop Brews
ter made the announcement of call
that had been extended to the Rev. W
II. Doggett to become the rector of St.
Peters church, Denver. This is the
third largest congregation of the Epis-
copal church in that city, and the honor
is notable one. 1t is by no means
certain that Mr. Doggett will accept
this invitation; but he has gone on to
Denver to look over the field and see
the vestry of the parish. His many
friends here, while acknowledging that
the honor is deserved, are disturbed at
the thought of his leaving this region,
where he has made his power felt SO
strongly for all good things in the
year he has been with us.
The members of the conference seal
tered for their respective fields of la
Dor on Sunday night and Monday morn
ing, after three days which they uuani-
mously spoke of as most profitable and
enjoyable. They passed vote of
thanks on Saturday, which was not a
mere perfunctory procedure, for the
hospitality that had been shown them
by the members of st. Barnabas church
and the people of Glenwood in general
The st. Barnabas Guild took great
pains in the preparation of the lunches
which were served at the bishops
house on Friday and Saturday, and the
reception there on Saturday night. As
usual, everything they did was most
successful Also a vote of thanks was
passed in appreciation of the courtesy
of the Glenwood Hot Springs company
in offering to the members of the con
ference the privileges of the pool. The
swim was enjoyed by four members on
Saturday afternoon.

THE NooNAN CON-
DERIVATION SUIT

In the district court this week Judge
Shumate and a jury of "twelve good
men and true" are hearing the con-
demnation suit by which the Denver s.
Rio Grande Railroad company seeks to
acquire title from John Il. Noonan to
six-acre tract upon which the COM
pany is already building a round house
and turn table in the North Glenwood
section.
Mr.. Noonan stated that the land in
question was not for sale, but if he
would offer it for sale at all he would
consider $1,000 an acre reasonable
price for it. He agreed, as compro'
mise and in order to avoid litigation, to
accept $500 an acre for this tract, at
or Immediately after the fling of the
present suit.
1t is understood that the company
has offered Mr.. Noonan $3.50 an acre
for the tract and have introduced n
number Of witnesses to prove that it s
not worth that except for railroad pu:.
poses. On the other hand, Judge Noon
ans witnesses FIX the value all the way
from $1,000 to $4,000 per acre.
Attorney c. W. Darrow represents the
railroad company while J. W. Dollison
is assisting Judge Noonan to protect
his rights
