Indiana, Pa.-When he was ques-

Standard Oil money, Associate Jus

that he has received $1,000 on one

NEW COUNTY WILL
MAKE EXHIBIT
HARDING HAS SPLENDID CROP
YEAR AND WILL SHOW AS
MUCH AT STATE FAIR.

Redig, S. D.-The citizens of Redig
Harding county, the new county in
the Northwest corner of the state, are
making elaborate preparations for
the county's tlrst exhibit at the state
fair at Huron. Harding county. in
common with other parts of the state
has suffered for the past two years
on account of dry weather, but this
has been a banner year for crops
in this section, almost equal to the
phenomenal year of 1909. Three
fourths OF the residents of the coun-
ty have settled here in the past
three years since the county was or
canned, but Harding County is one
or the largest counties in the state,
being about SO miles square and
there is still about 500, 900 acres or
BOO quarter sections of good land
open to homestead settlement. 1t is
expected that the exhibit will be
shown at the State Fair and do
much to dispel the old notion that
TINS part OF the state is fit for MOTH
ing but a cattle range, and that it

the Eastern part of the state to the

cality. One of the features of the ex-
hibit will be samples of Ignite coal
of which this county has practically
the largest deposits in the state.
Most OF this GOA has been reserved
by the United States government and
is free to residents of the county.
Specimens of wood from the forest

will also be shown. Water is another
thing in which Harding county is
very fortunate. Good wells of the very
best water are obtainable at a denth
of 20 to 100 feet.
Harding county is practically the
only county in the state tn at still has
a large body of good homestead land
open to settlement and it is expected
that this fall will witness an influx
of settlers that will take up most al
the remaining free government home
steads.

10 PER CENT
COAL l. USED
AMAZING WASTE IN PRODUCTION
AND UTILIZATION OF FUEL
SHOWN IN REPORT.

Washington, ID. C.-Of a produc-
ton OF 500 million tons of coal in the
United States in the last year ESQ
million tons were either wasted or
left under ground, probably unfit for
future use. according to a statement
today by DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, di-
rector of the United States bureau of
mines.
In addition TO this startling waste
DR.. Holmes declared that users of
coal. through faulty methods, derived
only about 10 per cent OF the energy
OF coal used. Furthermore, he added,
the loss by waste in other minerals,
such as zinc, nitrogen, potash, sulphur
and natural gas, would reach into
the hundreds of millions of dollars
annually.
Director Holmes based his declara-
ton on an exhaustive report made
by Charles p. Larsons, chief mineral
chemist of the bureau, who points
out some of the heaviest annual loss
es as follows:
Two hundred and fifty million tons
of coal.
More natural gas than is now man
%ufactured.
Ninety per cent OF the mercy of
coal consumed.
BY antiquated coke making meth
DDS, $4,000, 600.
Nine million tons of sulphuric acid
from smelter's chimneys.
These losses are only the beginning
OF the enormous drains on the coun-
try's natural resources, Mr.. Parsons
contends. The loss of nitrogen, he
says is Uncomfortable" while mil
lions of dollars literally go up in
smoke through losses of sulphur,
arcnic and bismuth from the factory
chimney and the flue of the home.
officials of the bureau, however,
are hopeful for strides toward reform
Already they say, remedial laws, fed
eral, state and municipal, are bring
ing about a better understanding of
the situation.

BLOWING HAY TIES

STOPS UP FLUME AND SHUTS OFF
WATER RUNNING DYNAMO
AT RAPID CITY.

Rapid City, S. D.-McCurdy broth
ers, old time placer miners at Pactola
on Rapid Creek, are also farmers in
a small way. The open flume of the
Dakota Power Company %trayerses
the McCurdy mountain ranch. The
other day the brothers cut a field of
hay and as it lay spread about the
field drying a fierce Chinook wind
came up and little by little deposited
the drying hay in the open flume.
Floating down the gentle current of
the water in the flume the hay lodg-
ed against a screening of a tunnel

Big Bend unit of the company. This
in turn stopped the flow of electricity
to Rapid City, leaving it minus light

In other words Mr.. Wilson believes

go even farther, and maintain that

A PIFFLING CONGRESS.

1t required nine months to COM
plete the second session of the Sixty
second congress. In other words, IL
took that long for the members to
go through the motions.
In point of actual accomplish
ments, the session Is singularly lack
ing In results. The important work
can be summed up in a single para
graph:
The expulsion of Lorimer; submis.
sion OF the amendment for direct
election OF United States Senators to
the states; the Panama canal bill and
the zone system parcels post.
Only two of these could be consid-
cred Legislation In the strict sense OF
the word. The Lorimer case was more
"A matter of trial than anything else
and while its outcome is certain to be
salutary, the result was negative
in it's nature. Direct election OF Unit.
ed States Senators should have been
approved many years ago. 1t required
the election of a sufficient number oil
Senators OF the new type to bring
about Its ratification. This accom-
plished, 1t was a small task to put
through the amendment. The parcels
post bill Is a compromise and from
Its operation it will be determined

groundless. there is no doubt the
system will be extended by putting
all the parcels rates on a flat basis.
For all of the time consumed by

Panama canal bill was not enacted
too hastily. Great Britain already has
announced an appeal from it to The
Hague. where every other nation

than the national honor is at stake.
There is a sharp difference of opin-
ion as to whether American ships
should be exempted from the canal
tolls, eve If engaged in coastwise
traffic. 1t Of course amounts TO a
subsidy; in other words. a tax on
the country for the cost and mainten-
ance OF the canal for the benefit OF
American shipping. Furthermore, sec
tlonal interests are involved. Both
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts are in
terested In reducing the cost OF rams

minimus and also in the develop

AS for the tariff, the House play
Gratis were fully aware that a reason
able tariff act. one framed in the
light of information obtained by the
tariff board, would be given Taft's
approval. But in the illusion that
they we're putting Taft In the hole,
they deliberately put through meas
ures that they knew he could not
consistently sanction. Underwood,
the party leader In the House, is not
believed to be in sympathy with any
proposal to revise the tariff down

he was perfectly willing t play q

when he knew that the game was to
frame bills that Taft could not on
sistently sign. If the democrats had
been genuine in their desire for tariff
Legislation and had proposed a mod
crate and sensible reduction. they
would have been able to appeal to the
respect of the public. AS it is, they
have imagined they were living in a
period that passed into history a gen
Grafton ago.
Taken altogether, the session is
not one to which the members of con.
gress can point with very much gen

WHAT is

The Des Moines Register and Lead
er, for many years the leading re-
publican organ in Iowa, has abandon
ed Taft and declared for Roosevelt.
| At the same time, the Des Moines
paper considers itself still in the re-
publican party, and will advocate the
election of the republican ticket in
that state.
In commenting upon this an
nouncement, the Sioux City Tribune
says:
THE party can survive the loss OF
any man, but 1T cannot survive the
loss Of character involved in the
theft of the presidential nomination
and in association with corruption
which Archbold's testimony fastens
upon the party organization"
This bears upon the question of
what constitutes party loyalty. Or,
to be more specific, it involves the
question whether the party belongs
to its candidates or its candidates to
the party. In 1912, it is to ask
whether the republican party should
be willing to wreck itself just because
the ambition of Taft is easy enough
to accept a tainted nomination.
Is it serving the republican party
to say that it should swallow it's self
respect, Its honor, in order to accept
a nomination that Is a nomination in
form only? Or is it more of loyalty
TO the party's interests to say that no
man has the right to blacken the
party and that rather than permit
such a thing, the party will go
Through the campaign without ac-
knowledging any candidate for the
presidency.
After all, it is in fact necessary
that a party shall take good care OF
Its reputation. Reputation, it should
be borne in mind, is a sensitive thing.
Sometimes it needs only suspicion
to work ir%reparable damage upon it.
Scarcely ever can it survive a SER
ious attack.
So 1t is that The Republican con-
ceives loyalty to the party in this
campaign to require rejection of the
work done at the Chicago convention.
We cannot accept it without endors-
ing it, and surely that is no chapter
to be placed in the really illustrious
history of the republican party.
(. Partisan prejudice should never be
confused with party loyalty. 1t is a
base counterfeit.

WILSON AGAINST THE FARMER.
In the course of his speech at
Williams Grove. Pa, Gov. Wilson
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1912-09-05

lie every scrap OF evidence bearing
upon the 1904 campaign, is Senator
Penrose's reluctance to make any
adequate explanation of the $4,000
sent him by Arcbbold for the oil trust
In 1904. OF this, Col. Roosevelt says:
THE charge against Mr.. Penrose
was a direct charge. This charge was
not merely that he took $4,000
from the Standard OIL company, but
that at or about the time of his TAX
ing IL, while a member OF a com
mlttee of the senate which was form
ed to investigate Industrial affairs In
the United States, he was in constant
communication with Mr.. Archbold on
the subject. and hat he submitted TO
Mr.. Archbold, for his approval, in adj
vance, q copy OF the report of the
commission. If these statements are
true, OF course Mr.. Penrose is unfit
to represent the people In the United
States senate; and the testimony
against him Is direct. Apparently,
however, the committee Ii investigat-
ing not this charge against Mr.. Pen
rose, which was sustained by direct
charge, which was sustained by no
evidence at all, and only by the re-
petition of second hand gossip"
On the one hand, we find a Unit
ed States Senator getting a $25, 900
certificate with a my~steriously word
ed letter and also receiving other let
ters showing him to be in fact the
servant of the oil trust in congress,
On the other hand, we find Roose-
welt fatty refusing to accept any gug-
gestions from the most powerful rail
against additional rate regulation.
We find, In addition, as shown In this
statement, Roosevelt repeatedly re-
fusing to entertain protests by the oil
trust against either Roosevelt's suit
against hat monopoly for accepting
rebates or his action against 1t for
violating the antitrust law. Rogers
and Archbold called on him and sew
eral times Senator Bourne of Oregon
brought Archbold to see him. In
every case, the president refused abb
\ uTlttfnttr IN artattnttx nntr
evidence, but Mr.. Penrose's counter
saying that the government had tie
strongest evidence against the con-
earn and that II the company had any
real evidence to combat 1t. counsel
for the company should present 1t to
the governments counsel.
On the one hand, we find the
ready, willing, paid-for servant of the
oil trust. On the other, we see a pre-
sident 30 %resolute in his sense OF
duty that he turns a deaf ear to the
voices of the greatest railroad mag
nate and of the chiefs of the greatest
monopoly in the world.
Surely Archbold and Penrose have
by their ~ill-guided assault upon Col
Roosevelt indicated to the public the
man whom organized wealth does
not want to e elected president
next November.
