dangerous to the country" all move
ments for the recall of judges or of
judicial decisions.
The report cites that in Ohio the
constitutional convention declined to
apply the principle to recall of the
judges, but instead provided that
laws should be passed for the prompt
removal on complaint and hearing OF
judges for any misconduct involving
turpitude. This, the report points out,
substantially is the system used in
Massachusetts, New York and other
states, while besides California and
Oregon, where the judicial recall ex-
lists, the other states which have tax
en- action looking to recall are Ari-
zona, Colorado, Nevada and South
Dakota. In the latter states, the re-
port asserts, the bar associations have
started vigorous campaigns to induce
the people not to support the re-
call.

of Pennsylvania, today issued a leng-

cit must be remembered, he said,
that we have agreed to place a new
ticket of electors in the field and
afford opportunity to have the vacan-

Finn declared both Chairman

there was ample time to replace them
on the republican ticket with Taft

Wolf BOUNTY CASES
IN FEDERAL COURT
FALL BROTHERS AND TWO
OTHERS WILL BE TRIED IN
FRAUDULENT BOUNTY
CASES AT DEADWOOD

Pierre, S. Dat the term of fed
eral court to be held at Deadwood
beginning Sept. ., the wolf scalp
bounty cases that attracted so much
attention in Pennington county a
few months ago, will be tried. At the
time the cases We're tried against the
Fail brothers in circuit court in Pen
nington county they were found not
guilty, and We're released. A postof
flee inspector, however, took up the
case and made a thorough investiga-
ton and found that the men had
used the United States mails in the
matter of helping to secure their
money on the fraudulent sale of the
scalps. The information secured by
the inspector was laid before the
grand jury of the federal court and
indictments We're brought against
the Fall brothers and against HI. W.
Hulett, who at present is in England,
having left for that country shortly
after the state aduitor opened up the
method the men had employed in de-
fraudng the counties of Fall River
and Pennington. Hulett's bookkeep-
er is in Canada at the present time
The men did wholesale business
in the disposal of scalps, it is alleged,
and cleaned up large sum of money.
In Pennington county ending July l,
1911, 1861 scalps We're disposed of,
at the rate of SO each, and from Aug.
5, 1911, to May, 1912 they sold SSS
scalps. In Fall River county the busi-
ness conducted was much heavier
The state auditors reports show that
from 1911 to June 80, 995 scalps
were marketed, and from Oct. IL
1911, to April Is, 1912, 2,901 scalps
were sold, aggregating nearly $4,000
All of this money, however was moi
paid by the state, as the auditor is
holding a large sum in certificate:
which will not be paid, and it is est
mated by the state department tha
fully $4,000 will be recovered from
the parties in Fall River county. II
that county in 1910 between l,6ON
and LOO scalps were turned in OF
which the money was paid, and vi
to June, 1912, about 900 was brough
in.
The system adopted by the partie
who were in on the deal was to max
the returns on the wolf scalps o

possession. This was particularly tru

DISCOVERS
CORN ON THE COB
ENGLISH DECIDE THAT THE

LY QUITE DELICIOUS,

London, England.-' London has
been captured by delicious new
vegetable. Long standing prejudices
have been overcome and the green
cob of American Indian maize has at
last found its way to the British din
ner table.
In this and similar words the Lon
don papers announce that corn
that's what American Indian maize"
really isis now being eaten in this
country. Already, so the journals say,
the devotees have divided into two
camps, the consistent corn consum-
ers' and the conventional corncob
consumers"
The former dispose of the delicacy

latter endeavor TO scrape off the

that the choice will lie between Mr..
Roosevelt and Governor Wilson, there
are certain considerations that will
appeal in behalf of the former to
those of republican atfiliation.
THE coming congress will be
hopelessly democratic in the lower
House and safely democratic in the
Senate Governor Wilson is an
academic free trader, standing on a
platform that does not mince words.
He is somewhat qualified in his cam
paign utterances, but not to the eX-
tent of repudiating the platform or
the democratic record
I'm such a siuation how can any
man who holds to the republican
doctrine of protection. and who sees
in a reasonable adjustment of the
tariff a very powerful argument for
continued prosperity in this country
prefer Governor Wilson to Mr.. Roose-
welt?
Democrats themselves might prop
erly wish for president of different
utilization if they are to have UNI
wieldly majorities in congress, while
the country at large can ask no bet
ter surety. With Mr. Roosevelt in
the chair, nothing could be done that
would not be in the nature of fair
compromise, and that would mean
that nothing could be done that the
progressive sentiment of the country
is not fully ready for.
Taft Impossible.
The Register and Leader has come
to the conclusion that President
Taft's reelection is impossible, if moi
undesirable, in view of the sort o.
men who have now come into contro
of the national campaign. 1t believe!
| that his nomination was brough
about in ways that Justify those who
choose to vote for Mr.. Roosevelt
believes that as between Mr.. Roose

compelling reasons why the forme
should be chosen 1t therefore
without over emphasizing the i'm
portance of one man to grea
movement, proposes to advocate tn
election of Mr.. Roosevelt
State Ticket O. *.
con the other hand, the Registe
and Leader believes there is nothin
to be gained by the defeat of re
publican legislature in Iowa, an
nothing to justify it, 1t believe
there is nothing to be gained by tn
retirement of Senator Kenyon thi
year and of Senator Cummins in tw
years and nothing to Justify it,
therefore will not sustain distint
abandonment of the progressive re

any hand in a movement that can {
best merely divide the forces of r,
