acres of cane land and $50 acres OF
pineapple land available for home

cants get the land they actually apply

Culmans jewelry and curio reposi-
tory, at the corner of Fort and Hotel
streets, was broken into at an early
hour this morning and goods to the
value of between $1,000 and $500 car
ried away.
The burglar gained access to the
store by throwing an empty beer bot,
tie through the top right-hand division
of the Hotel street window, This sec
tion of the window opened and closed
witha catch and after breaking the
glass it was an easy thing for the
burglar TO reach through, unfasten the
catch, open the window and enter the
store.

business with great deiberation, for

directors Of the American Beet Sugar
Company, who are personal friends

likelihood of some agitation for the
reduction of the sugar tariff at the
next session, they have positive as
surances that there will be no such
reduction of the tariff on raw sugar.
This statement, says the CORE

RULING ON GRAIN TARIFFS

Washington. d. g., MAY z5.-Pro-
posed advances in the freight rates
on grain and grain products from
North Dakota and South Dakota pro-
ducing points to such primary grain
centers as Minneapolis, Duluth, Mil
waukee and Chicago are held by the
interstate commerce commission, in
q decision last week, to be not un-
reasonable. The commission held,
however, that the former established
rates from origin to these destinations
should be restored, except in in
stances of bonaide error in tariffs or
manifest violations of the long and
short haul provisions.
Advances in rates on coarse grain
and wheat from South Dakota to
Omaha were condemned.

AN ARBITRARY RULER

DiaZ was an arbitrary ruler, but
none other could have taken the reins
in Mexico when he did and have es-
tablished reasonably stable govern
ment. In the evolution toward great
er liberty such man was necessary
Without quelling disorder by the
strong arm there could have been no
start toward better things. Cruel in
his methods the old president was,
but he did great work for his coun.
try. Bad as conditions are in Mexi-
co as compared with those on this
side of the line, they are immeasur-
ably better than during the early
terms of Diaz as president. The coun-
try has enjoyed periods of peace dur
ing which the people have had a
glimpse of the possibilities of the flu
tnre. The Introduction of CAPITAL by
intelligent and enterprising people
from other countries in mining, man
ufacturing and agriculture, has ex-
erted a beneficial effect. Probably
the old man couldn't change sutfi-
GENTLY with changing conditions.
Had he gradually Stacked the rein he
might have closed his rule in peace
and handed the government down to
his successor unthreatened by dis
SenSion.

THE BLESSED RAIN

Monday nights rainfall was of untold
value to western and central South Da-
kota. Fields were revived and growing
crops were given boost upward. The
rainfall was about an inch, and it
was well distributed over the central
and western portion of the state. In
the grazing sections of the state the
rainfall was also truly welcome visi-
tant. The farmers who were in the
city Tuesday were greatly rejoiced, and
reported splendid progress by growing
crops the past week in all portions of
the country around about Pierre. Flax
is growin5 fine and promises much big
returns to the husbandman; hundreds
Of acres are yet to be sown upon new
land wheat mas made splendid pro-
gress during the past two weeks as has
other small grain. A look into the
future is quite convincing that 1911 will
be profitable year for those engaged
in farming operations, and that the re
suits will be direct cause of starting a
flow of humanirg ssbaek to the farm"
throughout South Dakots.

SOCIALISTS MEETING

Excepting cases" on Mr.. Seidel's ad-
mlnistration, will feel sympathy for
him, for it is conceded by unbiased
critics that the socialists have done
their best to conduct the municipal
government in an unseltish and Judi
cious manner and, considering the
conditions they have had to meet
they have been very SUGGEST ub iii
their endeavors. But the socialists
are learning a much needed lesson
and that is that it is easier to criti-
else than to execute. For many years
they have criticised other parties sit
ting in the seats of power, and some
times the criticism has been mali
cious. They have spun nice theories
and told pleasing dreams of govern
ment under socialist regime and have
firmly believed that, if given the OPP
portunity Utopia would be an accom-.
plished fact. Since getting into con-
troll in Milwaukee they have begun to
learn the lesson known to all parties
who have been entrusted with power,
that the theory OF government and
the practice of 1t are very different
propositions.
The men who make up the socialist
party are doing great work for their
countrymen. They are dreaming the
dreams that some day more practi-
cal men will work out into improved
political and social conditions NJ
student and no one interested in hui
manity's betterment and develop
ment can afford to sneer at what the
socialist offers. Unhampered by sell

STEINFiELD's FREEDOM

Peter Steinfield was taken before
Judge Alderman in the city court

to the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. Steinfield was
brought back from Pierre Wednesday

placed under arrest on q warrant
sworn out by Cohen & Gumbiner,
clothiers, of Lead. He was formerly
in the employ of the Lead firm and
was discharged for trusting q man
for $22.50 suit of clothes. Later he
found the man and told him that the
amount had been held out OF his
(Steinfeld's) pay and the man there
upon settled for the goods.
Steinfield failed to turn the money
in to the firm and yesterday with tho
cost of the suit, the fine and costs,
the total will amount to $4,000. He
was unable to pay the money, but his
spouse who accompanied him from
Pierre, put up some valuable jewelry
which was sufficient to raise the
money. He was released Dead

SIMPLY PLAYING POLITICS.

Senator Crawford doesn't like the
reciprocity treaty and he ascribes the
chief sentiment for it to the newspa-
pers which are interested in getting
cheaper print paper. The same kind
of ring-worm politics that caused the
state legislature to run in circles last
winter when anything affecting news
papers was mentioned appears to be
working in the system OF the Huron
senator. The fact of matter Is that
cheaper print paper has very little to
do with the newspaper sentiment on
the reciprocity subject. This is DEM
onstrated by the fact that some Of the
biggest consumers among print users
are opposed to the reciprocity agree
ment. Newspaper men generally,
however, favor reciprocity because
they believe that the cost OF living
is out of all proportions while the
earning capacity of the average work
man has not been increased sufficient
ly to offset the raise in prices, and
that steps must be taken to leave
some of the wealth of the country,
anyway enough to support family,
in the pockets of the producers, and
they are not dependent for their jobs
on the voters, as is Senator Crawford
and his colleagues. The real reason
why Crawford opposes reciprocity ID
that he believes the farmers Of South
Dakota think it will be detrimental
to their interests and Go not want it.
1t is purely a matter Of politics with
him as are all his public policies.
and his attempt to hide behind the
newspapers is contemplate and cow

were considered relating to telephone
rates. After Investigating such petit
tions at Waubay aud Summit the
