The Harem Skirt.

This back to nature stunt seems
a long way off yet. The new Harem
skirt that women's fashion calls for
drives all doubt from the minds OF
the poor down trodden men that his
tory will again repeat itself. The
Harem skirt means anything that
looks like what men call pants"
They can be ruffied, peg-topped, skin
tight or worn with a pickering string,
just so they look like mems pants,
and bear the label "Harem Skirt.
In the days of Eve, a leaf answered
all purposes for self decoration and
of course Adam wore the same style.
Now women want to vote, smoke,
gamble, stay out late nights, in fact
every thing that a healthy bum does,
but to wear a poor imitation of mems
is and label it the Harem skirt Is
Just a little too much. Things may
not be the same as they used to be
but may womanhood come to the
front enough to do away with the
Harem skirt and give man just one
thing to wear and call his W with
out having Dame fashion claim that
which does lot belong to her and
label it a Harem skirt.

Bugs To Fight Bugs.

1t Is quite possible that anyone
who might happen to be stranded In
the canyons Of the High Sierras Of
California, any time between Christ
mas and Easter, might stumble upon
two or three young men whose actions
in those almost inaccessible solitudes
would look very mysterious. He would
see them gather up great masses OF
dead leaves and rubbish in places
where the snow had melted, sift the
finer material into burlap sacks,
throw the leaves and sticks away,
and then hasten on to a new location.
If he were curious enough to follow
the mysterious strangers, he would
find that as soon as the bags were
filled they were loaded upon the back
of a patient mule, taken to the near
est railroad station, and shipped to
Sacramento.
Inquiry would probably elicit the
statement that the young men were
from the Estate Bug-House," but the
inference that they were escaped
lunatics, If natural under the circum-
stances, would, be altogether wrong.
The 'Bug House" is the name COM
monty applied to the California State
Insectary at Sacramento; and the
methods described are those employed
by the field agents of the Insectary
on expeditions for the collection of
ladybird beetles. These breed in the
canyons of the SierraS, where they
are collected while still dormant in
the winter time. Tens Of millions OF
them are shipped to the ~lnsectary,
| where they are kept in cold storage
until the melon aphis makes its ap'
pearance in the cantaloupe and Gu
cumoer fields of the Imperial Valley,
or until the peach and apple aphids
are reported in the orchards. Then
they are shipped to the endangered
region, in whatever quantities may be
required to meet the emergency; and
the doom of the aphid pests is con-
sidered sealed.-From Battle of the
Bugs" in April Technical World
Magazine.

Of the erection Of Dakota Territory
embodying with this celebration ar
Old Settlers Home Coming not only
for early citizens of Tankton but Of
| all South Dakota and for those resi-
dents of North Dakota, Wyoming
Montana and Idaho who lived within
those states prior to their separation
from Dakota Territory. Iankton
was the capitol Of Dakota Territory
| when its limits included the states
named or large parts Of them, and 1t
is our desire to gather at the forth
coming celebration as many OF the old
settlers as can possibly come. We in
tend to extend to them the warmest
hospitality of which Iankton is cap
able and to prepare for their enter
tainment a program Of varied charac-

as you think may be interested in
other parts Of the state or elsewhere.
We want them all here in June.
Though Yankton will act the part
of host on this occasion, the celebra-
tion will be in reality as much yours
as it will be ours. The semi-centen-
NAL of the erection of Dakota Terri

in the history of the Northwest n
there is not a man, woman nor child
living today within the limits OF the
old Territory, who, il they pause to
reflect, will not realize that the event
was the one which inaugurated the
spread of civilization in this part OF
the United States and made possible
the homes and the material prosperi-
ty which we enjoy today.
You, and those whose names you
send us, will be kept advised from
time to time Of the progress OF our
plans for the event in June. Please
address your communications to the

The President Is Winning Out.

President Taft has put the insurgents
and democrats into nice, big, round
hole. He secured the passage of his
treaty with Canada. Then the democrats
and insurgents thought they could get
any old free trade measure which they
wanted. They passed the wool bill and
Taft has vetoed it. They passed the
farmers free list, so called and the pres
ident vetoed it at once. When the cotton
schedule was passed, the president
vetoed it. Thus the insurgents and the
democrats are left high and dry, with
the bag to hold. They are stranded.
AS we understand it, the two Iowa sena-
tors have voted for all these bills, having
tendency to embarrass the administra
ton. Three Iowa members of the house,
to-wit: Messrs. Haugen, Woods and
Hubbard, voted with the democrats for
all these measures. Taft is on his feet
again And the brethren mourn. The
democrats and insurgents in Iowa will
have a great time. They might carry
things if they could hold one convention
in Iowa instead Of two. But it SO hap
pens that the democrats will hold a con-
Vention of their own in Iowa, land the
insurgents will have to hold a conven-
ton Of their own or meet with the
republicans. The report from the
country is that the republicans are
feeling more kindly towards President
Trft.-Daily Capital.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION
NOT INCONSISTENT
he Had Plenty OF Information Upon
Reciprocity But Not Enough
IS Conserving Tariff
ReViSIOn.

President Taft is accused Of inconsis-
tency since he vetoed the wool bill be-
cause the tariff board had not reported
on the wool schedule, while he put
through the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment without waiting to hear from the
tariff board as to the items specified in
the agreement.
There was no reason why he should
wait. We know the wool duties are too
high, but how much too high the tariff
board will tell US. But there are some
matters on which the board can throw
no new light. If it were a question
whether tin should be dutiable we
would know it belonged on the free list.
II Il O matter of common knowledge
that none Is found in th9 United States
and that duty on It would be tar on
all the industries that use it.
SO, too, no intelligent man needs q
tariff board to tell him that the free ad-
mission Of Canadian wheat cannot affect
the price Of the American product,
since. the price OF both is regulated by
the market which consumes their
SURPRISES.
We do not need tariff board to tell
rs that the removal Of the duties on
Canadian planks and timber will bene-
&c this country. That Is conserve
ton measure. II is an effort to protect
the American forests by making It easier

Of production" outs no figure here.
The potato raisers Of Maine know
that the cost Of production Of their crop

Brunswick. So as to the various articles

THE PRESIDENTS VETOES
FORTIFIED BY PLATFORM
The Republicans Who Opposed Him
Regulated The Platforms
Adopted By Their Own
States.

Both the Tribune and Record Her,
aid sustain the president in his vetoes,
which should be fairly indicative of
the trend of sentiment in the middle
west.
The one surprising feature of the
situation is the apparent confidence of
the insurgent leaders at Washington in
the purpose of the democratic majority
to permit tariff reform at this session,
Of the sort a republican president could
attach his signature to without wreck
ing his party.
There was never the least reason to
believe that the democratic leaders
would do differently than they have
done. The tariff is their issue for next
year. They are now just where they
planned to be and wanted to be. That
they should have been able to hoOdwink
the insurgents to the last minute only
astute may be led by the nose once they
allow their jealOusies and personal
animOsities to be aroused.
The presidents vetoes are fortified
in every republican platform of the
middle west. There is not even a peg
on which to hang an impeachment of
HIS dLSuHoHC' Nc TcpuDllCdnS Vi In6
west who stood out against him by that
act repudiated the platforms ON which
they were elected and which they,
in most instances helped to write.-
Register & Leader.
Bro. Ingham expresses surprise that
the insurgents could be hoodwinked by
the democrats. They were not hood
winked at all. The reciprocity bill put
the insurgents in a hole and they voted
for the democratic tariff bills to return
the compliment. Uncle Harvey is also
because they allowed their
''jealousies and personal animosities to
be aroused" to such an extent that they
"repudiated the platforms on which they
were elected and which they, in most
instances helped to write" No surprise
to US. Those fellows are doing just
what we expected they would. Their
best and most enthusiastic friends are
the most grievously disappointed in
their conduct. Instead Of condoling
their faults most of the leading pro-
gressive papers are criticising them
mercy.

Judge Green Remains 10 Audubou.

Statements made by some people and
some newspapers that Judge Green in
tends to change his residence from Au-
dubOn are not correct. He assures US
that he has never thought of such a
thing. He has formed law partner
ship there with Geo. H. Mayne in
Council Bluffs and in that he has shown
his good Judgment. That is the largest
and best and most central town in this
judicial district and the proper place
for q lawyer Of his ability and experience
to have an Office. Moreover. in q politi-
cal way. it is much the best place for
him to spend his time while at home
because his constituents can call upon
him there much more easily than they
could in Audubon because it is easy Of
access from all parts of this district.
Still more. when the time shall come
for him to retire from his political Of
Ace he will have an established business
in o fine little city at the center Of his
business and political acquaintance.

the second fall, just little less than 20
minutes was consumed when the match
