GREAT COMPLIMENT TO THE
worth

several times lately. we have felt II
necessary for the good of the state
to reprimand the New York World for
Its attacks upon Governor Dix and its
repeated statements that. because Dix
was not managing his office as The
World thought he ought to. Murphy
would re-elect Taft We did not think
that this was quite fair to the Demo
cratic party outside of New Yorl; and
intimated that The World was doing
more BY its course to re-elect Taft
than Dix or Murphy or both of them
together Now comes The Commoner.
Mr. Bryans personal organ, which can
be had for two years now at the price
Of one. with this comment:
The World is very much like the
Richmond Times Dispatch. II the
Democrats can be persuaded TO nomi-
nate an Aldrich Democrat The World
Will sincerely seek TO defeat Mr.. Taft
II the Democrats nominate real
Democrat The World may give him
half-hcarted support. but will really
favor Mr.. Taft's reelection"
Nothing better than that "The World
is very much like the Richmond
Times Dispa tch" was ever said about
Mr., Pulitzer's great newspaper but
Mr.. Bryan should have explained that
The Times Dispatch is not very much
like The World, paradoxical as 1t may
seem. The Times Dispatch seeks to
give good advice. to persuade. to in
struct; it does not try to boss. But
both of these papers are good news
papers. and each is Democratic to the
core. Neither is running for any
office.

There does not appear to have been

NEGLIGENCE OF coMMIrrD.s

Dr' Anna Howard Shaw, the. woman
suffrage advocate, is just home from a
mission to England, where her work
was made light by the committees at
tending to theirs. Dr. Shaw remarks:
IN America we appoint committees
and then tire ourselves out running
work"
That is all too true In this coun.
try committees are so apt to feel no
responsibility. They let their work
aras; they do not attend to it PROMPT
~ There is always chairman who
is too busy Others will do nothing
until he leads. Mere members fear the
displeasure of the chairman, and do
not act in his absence A committee
implies divided responsibility, and that
usually means no responsibility and no
action.

HORSES HIGIiER.

In the decade before the census of
1910 the value of the domestic animals
IN south Dakota increased more than
S6oo0oooo in value. which was almost
"a per cent. Yet In that same period
the cattle in the State actually fell off
about S1.66Oooo or moro than per
cent
Swine made big gain. and so did
poultry. specially in the rate per
cent of increase. but the bulk Of
the added value of domestic animals
was in horses. There the increase
was more than s5a.oooooo. or 2s5 per
cent
That tremendous increase came in
the ten years when the motor car was
making great triumphs, and it took
place In a State which is especially
adapted TO the use Of motor vehicles
and motors for farm work Such facts
answer sufficiently those who predict
the speedy expulsion of the horse. save

background of American life as a fac
tor in traffic and industry. the horse

PASS THE COTTON SCHEDULE.

The Hon. Serene Payne, who is large
iy responsible for the worst tariff bill
ever imposed on this country, protests
against the Democratic cotton seized
ule. He wants 10 wait until the tariff
hoard has made its report instructing
Congress what It should do. and is
shaking in his shoes because the adop-
ton OF the Democratic schedule would
inevitably tend Ito destroy the bust
ness confidence of the country"
The average duty imposed on cot
ton stufs by the PAYNE bill is
4s,l2 per cent. the average duty
proposed in the Underwood bill Is .7os
per cent. Mr.. Payne is in favor OF pro-
lection for a great American indus
try. an infant industry that is now.
after more than hundred years of
protection, getting more protection
than it vas claimed 1t would require
before 1t was weaned. Mr.. Underwood
and his committee have framed the
cotton schedule so that it will be
revenue producing measure.
II the proposed measure pass, the
American consumers will keep s29. 900.
600 in their pockets. which under the
operations of the Payne bill now goes
into the pockets OF the cotton manu-
facturers, That Is large sum Of
money, and /: is worth saving to the
people who have to lose 1t under the
benevolent plan devised by Mr.. Payne.
There is no reason to believe that the
tariff board knows anything more
about questions OF revenue than the
able and distinguished men who have
been considering the question with
n II knowledge OF the requirements OF
the Government and intimate acquaint-
ance with the necessities OF the MOO
rle.
If the tariff board shall find that the
reductions provided for in the Demo-
cratic schedule are not great enough.
1t will be comparatively easy matter
for TIE Congress to make deeper cut
at the regular session; II the ,ar.H
hoard shall recommend the enactment
of purely protective measure. that
also can be brought up for tutlre con.
slderation. II the report OF the iar,n
board shall agree in general terms
With the Democratic schedule. no harm
Will be done by Immediate aston on

puoi'cans are committed in their last
