A study of our exchanges as The
Press receives them from week to
week, coupled with the impress
sion made ON MS after two visits
to Pierre, leads us to the opinion
that no great measure of either
advancement, progress, or re.
nown is to be expected from our
present legislature.
This criticism is not intended to
be personal, but is justified i'm
view of the demand in few local
tiles for a constitutional conven-
tion to provide new constitution
to be submitted to the voters of
the state. There is one part of
our present constitution which
we believe needs revision and that
is the limitation of our legislative
session to two months, which
works out to only about six weeks
in actual practice.
What is the reason for the de-
mandl0 for onrvState Genserya-
tion congresses, with their affiliat-
ed associations? Did it ever occur
to any of our readers that it is be-
cause of this sixty day limitation
of our legislative sessions! Well,
that is our impression as result
of what we have seen of them so
far. Why is not our legislature
deputized- explicitly and emphat-
ically-5y our state constitution
to he the conservator of our natu-
raj resources? Why should we be
to the added expense of an annual
which has no power or
authority but to debate-to CON
slider SCHOOL laws and every
thing else under the sun!
The answer is-because our lcg-
islators haye everything else on
their mind, for twenty-five months
of their term of Office, but the sci
ence of law-making.
The Press does not consider it
to the credit of any legislature
that spends three-fourths of it's
time repeating the acts of previ-
Gus legislatures,-a luxury that
costs the taxpayer SIS. per per
''and then some.
To our mind we can proftably
dispense with some of this partic-
ular kind of luxury!

RIGHT SORT OF TARIFF COM.
MISSION

Under the above title, the Chi
cago Daily Journal couple
weeks ago expressed its opinion of
the proposed Congressional Tariff
Commission as follows:
$50 far, none of the proposed
plans for the creation of tariff
commission meets the require
mepts of the case.
''The underlying weakness in
all the schemes is that it is pre-
sumed that protection is what is
wanted. A genuine, adequate
and satisfactory tariff commission
plan should he established and
conducted on the basis of securing
right and justice for all the people
in the matter of such taxation ON
imports as may be necessary for
the needs and purposes Of the
government.
Moreover, the proper working
of the best plan imaginable would
depend almost altogether ON the
character and fitness of the men
selected for the board. 10 make
up such a body of ''lame ducks"
and professional politicians would
defeat the whole object of the
project and render the board and
its workings ridiculous.
''There may he many and mani
fest advantages and benefits to re-
suit from from the creation and
1kork of the right sort of tariff
commission with the right sort of
members. But these factors have
not been suggested in satisfactory
form by any of the plans vet for
mulated by the leaders of the par
ty in power"
According to the notion of The
Press, the above expresses only
/ half truth. While we are in
favor Of a protective tariff as
against the Democratic doctrine of
free trade, we are not by any
means in favor of q tariff ccmmis-
sion being packed by men of rabid
or extreme views.
4 The object of the commission
q should be to get a tariff which will

\ sumer alike. This will only he

\ reliable report from Gettys-

place are seriously discussing tho
possibility of the C&NW and

and building a bridge across the
Missouri river at this point.
We imagine that there arc few

a rival city.
We think that idea can be easily
dispelled. as far as any manufac-

RIVER ATTRACTS
THEM AT LAST

THEM AT LAST
II has heretofore been popular
ly supposed that our county seat
city of Gettysburg was not. either
directly or indirectly, interested
in the extension of the C&NW Ry.
to Forest City, not te mention any
unpleasant suspicious of active or
actual interference in the matter.
1t is, therefore, with the great
est of pleasure that The Press
copies the following extract from
recent issue of the Potter Coun-
ty News. A whole coIumn--if
not many columns--could be
written in favor of this project of
the News. We have only space
enough this week to mention two
great reasons why it would be
a profitable enterprise, viz:
1t would get the immense Chey-
enne Agency government bust
ness.
BY the C&NW's extension 60
ing south thru Onida, it left a
strip of territory west of Gettys-
burg equally as rich as any other
agricultural area of the state, that
at one point is over thirty miles
wide leaving out OF considera-
tlon the capabilities OF the Mis-
souri, river basin.
That it would he a.5ss ssssi.at benefit
to Gettysburg bringing, as it
would, an immense river business.
which would steadily increase as
the country on the west side of the
river developed, goes without
saying.
If our Gettysburg friends real
ly get interested in the deal, it
will be sure thing and Don't
You Never Forget 1t.
The quotation from the News
reads as follows:
lit is useless to attempt to
prophesy as to what railroad has
in view in the way of improve
ments or extensions, but there arc
often apparently reliable rumors
afloat. At present there is every
reason to believe that the M&StL
is planning to get line into
Pierre. Several proposed routes
arc being considered, among them
the ironing of the old grade from
Aberdeen to Pierre. Another
project is to iron the old grade
from Aberdeen to Cresbard, thence
run over their present line to Ho-
ven, and south from there to Get
tysburg, then west and south along
the river, thus opening up a terri.
tory which is now tributary al
long range to the North Western.
This is mentioned not as news
item, but as a possibility which
should be followed up.
Another railroad would be OF
incalculable benefit to Gettysburg,
and as long as there is shadow
of hope there should be every
possible effort made to bring tic
railroad this way

Canal Digging at Suez and Panama

Forty years ago, I watched the workers
on the Suez canal Many of them were
girls, digging up the sand with their bare
fingers, scooping it into the hollows of their
hands, throwing it into the rush basket
each had woven for herself, lifting the bas-
kets to their heads, and carrying the load
of 20 to 80 pounds hundred feet up the
bank and dumping it. Panama excaya-
ton is being done by steam shovels. Re-
Gently watched one of them at work. The
fingers, of the Egyptian girl had grown into
a thousand times-larger. steel claws that
dug and scraped the shattered rock and
dirt; the hollow of the girls hands had de-
veloped into a scoop containing two cubic
yards, or FIVE thousand times as much as
her two hands could hold; the rush basket
had grown into a train of fiat cars; the
shapely arm of smooth flesh covering mus
Gle and bone had grown into great beam
moved by chains, flinging great loads onto
the fat cars; and instead of the one hun
dred feet of walking long trains ran per-
haps twenty miles to dump the load Devel-

II acres OF potatoes and about the same
number of acres Of corn on a piece OF land
which was broken up this spring Tor the
first time in 40 years. The land was a
pasture covered with bareback and other
weeds and it was cross plowed TO kill the
weeds No fertilizer was used on the POI
tatoes and only a spoonful in each hull OF
corn. Ii is safe 10 say that there Ism I a
better field Of corn to be found in Brat
tleboro where no more fertilizer was used.
The secret OF the growth OF both the corn
and potatoes on the Retreat fam seems to
be the absence of weeds Mr.. Roel spent
too many years in gardening not to know
that weeds are a bad proposition. He be-
gins to cultivate his potatoes and corn as
soon as the plants are large enough to have
a cultivator or horse hoe run between the
rows with the result that today one may
travel over acres and not find handful
of weeds
To the west of the Retreat buildings
near Camp Comfort is a field OF perhaps l.
acres Of potatoes. Specimens dug from this
lot Monday were as large as two fists and
if the frost does not arrive for three weeks
Superintendent Roel expects they will in
crease materially in size. At present there
are IS mich cows on the farm but Mr.. Roel
is planning to increase the size of the
dairy to GO cows. Only Holsteins are kept
and about a third Of the herd are register
ed animals. The 80 acres or more Of corn
will furnish ensiage for filling the four silos
which hold about 300 tons. Besides the
ensilage corn Mr. Roel has a large field OF
Holden yellow corn which is heavily cared
This corn will be cut and bundled and will
be husked this fall and winter The fod
der will be steamed and fed TO the cows
which eat it with apparently the same
relish as they eat ensilage Besides plant
ing and cultivating these large fields OF
potatoes and corn Mr.. Roel has built about
mile OF wire fence this season. From Is
to 20 regular hands are employed on the
farm in addition to a number Of patients
from the Retreat.
