An Active Business Agent.

1t is 4 task Of pleasing superfluity
to defend Delegate Cameron against
the charges Of official negligence and
inefficiency which are made against
him from time to time.
1t is conceded by fair minded demo-
Gratis. as well as republicans, that this
territory never had a more energetic
business agent, and that is all terri
torial delegate may be. The activities
of Mr.. Cameron are not confined to
the furnishing to the agricultural de-
partment Of a list of his constituents
to whom garden seeds are to be sent.
Every matter that has been referred
to him has received the promptest at
tention and the list of results in be-
half of individuals and communities
is. we believe, far larger than that
achieved by any of his predecessors.
We are moved to these observations
by a criticism of Mr. Cameron be
cause an old soldier who has been try
ing to get a pension since before the
election of Mr.. Cameron has not yet
been granted one. The reason for the
delay is that the applicant is pecul-
iarly situated, as is explained by Mr..
Cameron in a telegram printed else
where.
The bitterest and unfairest and most
senseless accusation made against Mr..
Cameron is that he is opposing state
hood in his antagonism to the pending
Flood resolution, insisting that the
resolution be amended by striking out
of our constitution that provision for
the recall Of the judiciary, thus max
ing the resolution acceptable to Presi-
dent Taft, whose approval must be
secured if we are to have statehood.
The enemies of Mr.. Cameron must
concede that if his amendment was
adopted, the last obstruction to state
hood would be removed; that his
amendment would surely be followed
by admission. Whereas, as those who
have been maligning the delegate have
within the last week admitted, as mat
tiers now stand, statehood is in the
balance" that is, it is conceded that
the Flood resolution is repugnant to
Mr.. Taft Thus we are brought to
this: Mr. Cameron proposes to substi-
tute a certainty for an uncertainty.
We may, it is true, be admitted
by the Flood resolution, though Of
that, all parties believe there are
grave doubts. 1t is admitted by every
body that the plan proposed by Mr..
Cameron eliminates all doubt.

The Rain.

1T amt no use to grumble and COM
plain,
It's just as cheap and easy to re-
joice
If God sorts out the weather and
sends rain.
Why rains my choice"
Sang the Hoosier poet.
But Mr.. Riley was not the owner Of
thousands of acres of alfalfa on the
point Of ripening into seed. Nor was
he the proprietor of broad fields Of
cantaloupes, and again, he had not
thousands and thousands of sacks of
grain in the fields. fresh from the
thresher. or tons of grain loosely
stacked, ready for the thresher. So
situated, rain yesterday. especially
such a rain as persistently drenched
the Salt River Valley, would not have
been Mr.. Riley's choice.
1t was, perhaps, the most disastrous
rain that ever fell in this region,
where precipitation is generally well
come. and where we have been ac-
customed TO estimate the value of the
downpour at high figures, all feeling
that we had all been so much richer.
The foregoing is not set forth in a
spirit Of captious criticism of the rain
for its inopportuneness. If the deluge
of yesterday has served no other use
full purpose, it has at least silenced
those croakers who feared that the
Roosevelt dam would not fill.
We have now plenty of water laid
by for a dry day.

RAISE DENIED
TYNDALG BUSINESS MEN WIN A
VICTORY. IN THE TELE-
PHONE ~AsE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and Diff
ferent Parts Of the .....
State.

Tyndall.-Local attorneys have just
received word that the business men
OF Tyndall have won their fight against
the Dakota Central Telephone COM
pany. At a meeting Of the state rail
road commissioners held in Huron
recently the board handed down h de-
cision in the matter to the effect that
local phone rates cannot be raised.
In his recommendations to the board
Commissioner Rice stated that in his
opinion the telephone people had fallen
far short of making the showing nee
essary to permit the raise petitioned
for; that according to the showing
made the local exchange would have
TO wear out in the very near future
like the deacon's wonderful one boss
shay" which was not at ali probable,
as it still seemed to be efficient.
Last November the Dakota Central
Telephone company petitioned the
railroad commissioners to allow a raise
in rates of 81 a month on all phones
in Tyndall, giving as it's reason that
the local exchange was about worn out;
that it was necessary to make about
$3.50 0 worth of improvements, due
to the fact that the city vas installing
a new electric light plant which would
interfere with and impair the efficiency
of the local telephone system; that
the stockholders were realizing prac-
tically nothing on their investment.
The business men felt that they were
about to be held up, and accordingly,
after a mass meeting, hired attorneys
to fight the case. After three hear
ings, in which the evidence was
thras.ed out before them, the com
missioners have decided in favor of
the citizens.

Gentry Held for Murder.

Mitchell.-The cOroner's inquest
over the body of Gust Kraft, who vas
found in a mud grave seven miles east
Of WoCnsOCket, returned a verdict to
the effect that Kraft came to his
death as the result of being shot with

The evidence brought out the fact
that Kraft and Gentry left Croker
suddenly several weeks ago to make a
trip through the country, travelling in
a light wagon. Two men from Crock
err appeared at the inquest and stated
they saw Gentry and Kraft start away
together. The description they gave
of Gentry is the anle as that given by
