CHICKEN TIME ONCE MORE

There was time when South Da-
kota was known throughout the ma
ton as the place Of the best chicken
shooting in the country. But the
greed of the game hog changed this
and two or three years ago the prair-
ie chicken was almost exterminated.
Then the state took a hand and pro-
hibited shooting this magnificent t
game bird until Sunday last. The re-
turn of the open season for prairie
fowl makes the opening of the hunt
ing season bear special significant ce
this year.
Reports from the stubble indicates
that the tlocks have multiplied dur
ing the years of safety and that with
proper regard for the future, they
may be conserved for much future
sport. This is conservation much
more vital to hundreds of men who
own gun and bird dog than the
question of what to do with the west
ern forest lands.

LOSING CONFIDENCE IN HIM

Ex-President Roosevelt must be
losing all confidence in President
Taft. He has expressed disapproyal
of his course in tariff legislation,
and the Ballinger-Pinchot controver-
sy over conservation of resources,
and the Controller Bay matters and
the Arizona statehood veto. And
now he has come out in 3 strcng az.
ticle condemning the arbitration
treaties negotiated by Taft as worse
than silly Despite efforts to; main
tain friendly relations between the
tive who were formerly 80 intimate,
it is becoming evident that they are
very strained. And it is almost q
foregone conclusion that Roosevelt
who made Taft president will not
support him for re-nomination.

A BOOST IN VALUES

The tabular summary of general ag-
ricultural data for the United states.
just completed by the census bureau,
shows remarkable progress in values
put upon farm land and property of all
kinds. In striking contrast with the
slow growth in the number and slow
growth in the number and acreage of
farms and the area of improved land
during the ten years, from 1900 to 1910,
is the enormous rise in the value of
farm property. Farm land, exclusive
of buildings, which were valued at $13,-
S,008,000 in 1900, had more than
doubled before 1910, being then return
ed as having a value of S28, 3 Sc. 77O, 900
an increase of 1l7.4 per cent in the val
ue of all farm lands. Farms have
grown slightly smaller, averaging in
1910 1873 acres against LAG in 1900. The
average value per acre has grown from
1881 to S39. Gan increase of 1OO.4 4
per cent.

THE ARBITRATION TREATIES

Ex- President Roosevelt has re.en-
tered the lists as an opponent of the
pending arbitration treaties, which
he considers hypocritical. loosely
worded and lacking in explicitness
and straightforwardness The ma.
]ority of careful readers of those doc
uments have failed thus far to find
any of these alarming defects in
them, and they will be inclined to at
tribute Col. Roosevelt's conclusions
rather to obliquity in his own vision.
Nor will the ex-President' $ elaborate
observations concerning righteous
ness and peace and his adherence OF
brutality and wrong-doing carry con-
vlction of the sincerity of this attack
upon the treaties, or conceal the OBJ
vious purpose of discrediting Presi-
dent Taft and his earnest advocacy of
the extension of international arbitra
tion. Mr.. Roosevelt is exceedingly
unfortunate in his choice of phrases
it the latter Interpretation of his pur
pose does him injustice.

WILL HUGHES RUN?

Aberdeen News: The New York
Herald, which is quite prolific IL ia the the
circulation of startling political rum
ors, steps forward with story to the
effect that when the time comes.
Senator LaFollette will withdraw
from the fight for the Republican
nomination in 1912, and will throw
his strength to Justice Charles Evans
Hughes, of the federal supreme court.
The claim is made that LaFollette
is more interested in the success of
the cause" than in the nomination
or election of any particular man
even LaFollette himself. So, he is
ready to throw his support to Hughes
whenever the latters' supporters in
dicate a readiness for the move to be
made.
The Herald S story may or may not
be true. If it is, it is apparent Taft's
supporters will have harder fight on
their hands than they would have
with LaFollette as the presidents op-
ponent. Hughes is sufficiently pro-
gressive to meet with the approval of
the LaFollette men throughout the
country, and he would very likely
gather some strength that LaFollette
could not get, because he has not dis
played SO many political vagaries as
the Wisconsin man has given his ad
herence to.

THE HURON MEETING
The Meeting of Progressives wa. Largely
Attended Hot Contest Coming.

Attended-aot Contest Coming.
The mass meeting of progressive re-
publicans, held Tuesday night in Huron
was well attended. and can be likened
to gathering of enthusiasts in the heat
of campaign. President taft could
hardly be more criticised than he was
during the deliberations of the meeting
there Tuesday night.
Hon. George Rice, member of the
state board of railway commissioners,
who served as permanent chairman of
the meeting, said that only for the pro-
gressives at Washington, Taft would
have turned the coal lands of Alaska
over to the trust. 4
w. S. Glass of Watertown, who is a
candidate for congress in this district,
declared that Taft was a reactionary;
is in alliance with the railroad kings
and exploiters of the public domain; is
an enemy to the farmer, and anyone in
South Dakota who votes for his renom-
ination should have his actions closely
! seTuttiii1iizEd. tiii -
| HI. l.. Loucks paraphrased Abraham
Lincoln and said that under Taft this
was country of the people by che
judges and for the trusts.
P. j. Tsharmer of Perkins county
thought Taft was a good man, but does
not like the company he keeps.
Thomas Patwin of Lemmon, editor Of !
the Perkins County Signal, said Taft
had been a traitor to the people and
that he had lined up with the despoilers
of our national resources.
E. M. Miner of Deadwood prophesied
that the east would put up millions to
assist in the reelection of Taft, whom
he declared, was the representative of
corporate greed.
/ United States Senator Coe /. Craw-
ford was present and was the last
speaker in the long list. It was almost
midnight when he concluded his talk.
He spoke with great vehemence He
said La Toilette is in the light just
now and has BEEN for months, without
a thought for himself in the coming
campaign. The senator said at one Of
the conferences of the progressive SEN
ators held during the summer down in
4 Washington, Senator Cummins had said
that because of Senator La Follette's
poor health and because the strain upon
him would be SO great, he did not have
it in his heart to make the sacrifice
which a candidacy for the presidential
nomination would mean Moreover,
LaFollette had said that if Roosevelt or
Cummins would make the race he would
he glad to be relieved of the physica L
strain.
The resolution committee: Judge Per-
kins of Perkins county, d. w. Reeves
of Brookings county, G. w. Stormbeck
of Hyde, L, A. Webb Of Lawrence, A.
P. Rustwick of Sisseton, reported a set
of resolutions strongly endorsing LaFol-
lette for the presidency, and the same
were adopted. 1t is said that r. O..
Richards was the author of the resolu-
tions passed, and that he was much in
evidence throughout the meeting.
