Time makes statesmen and service
educates representatives. Both of
these results have taken place in the
person of Chas. II. Burke, congress
man from the second district. Mr..
Burke is recognized as a statesman
in Washington because of the time
that he has served and the experience
that he has gained. On the other
hand the long period which he has
served his constituents gives him a
knowledge Of the peculiar needs of
his own people, and likewise an in
sight how to secure them at the
Washington end of the line. Mr..
Burke has got beyond the common
seeker class and is now what might
be very properly termed a real con-
gresham of the United States. The
men who are trying to get his posi-
ton have neither experience nor the
natural tact that it takes to develop
a competent servant, and certainly any
sound thinking citizen will not vote
for anyone else than Mr.. Burke at the
primary in June in the second con
gressional district

IRA'S AWFUL EFFORT

Sisseton Standard: Ira o. Curtiss,
the "slandering. grating" candidate
for congress, spoke to a small and un-
a%ppreciative audience at the opera
house Saturday evening, who gather
ed there purely out of curiosity to
hear what excuse he really had for
appearing as a candidate for congress.
Curtiss claims the credit of having
been the author Of about all the freak
laws that appear on the statute books
including those he had John" intro
duce for him. While he was lumber
ing along on the little speech he had
SO oft repeated and nearly knew by
heart he was called to a sudden halt

An avalanche of petitions from

The Arizona senators are sustain
ing the reputation of the new state
for being ca~ntankerous, their latest
performance consisting of centering
their energies against the confirma-
ton of former Governor Sloan, who
has been named a federal judge by
President Taft. The protests of the
Arizona senators were given respect
full hearing before a committee of the
senate and it is pointed out that Sena-
tor O'Gorman, who, like the Arizona
senators, is a democrat, and who has
also had a broad experience upon the
bench, has become very much disgust
ed with the partisan objections raised
by his Arizona colleagues, and will
make a fight to confirm Governor
Sloan because of the injustice that
he believes is being heaped upon the
gentleman for purely partisan reasons
Governor Sloan has served as a ter
ritorial judge in Arizona, having been
first appointed by President Harri
son and twice by President Roose-
welt.

ONLY TRIAL JUDGES FOR SU-
PREME COURT

Since the organization OF the South
Dakota supreme court November 81,
1889, there have been eight different
judges on the bench, beginning with
Judges Dighton Corson, A. G. Kellam
and John f.. Bennett. At that time
there were but three members OF the
court. Out OF the eight men who have
occupied positions of the supreme
bench, three. Judge Kellam, Bennett
and Fuller, are dead. The first change
in the original formation of the court
was caused by the death of Judge Ben
nett and the vacancy caused by his
death was filled by the appointment OF
Judge Fuller from the sixth circuit
bench. The next vacancy was caused
by the resignation of Judge KellaTn,
which was filled by the appointment
of Judge Haney, trial judge from the
fourth circuit. Both OF these appoint
ments were made by Governor Shell
don. The next vacancy was created
by the death Of Judge Fuller, which
Governor Crawford filled by the APP
pointment of trial judge Chas. S.
Whiting of the ninth circuit. When
the legislature increased the member
ship of the court to five, Judges Eli
son G.. Smith, trial judge OF h first
circuit and Judge ], II. Mccoy, trial
Judge OF the fifth circuit, were APP
pointed by Governor Vessey. Every
vacancy which has occurred in the SUI
preme bench has been filled by the ad-
vancement of a trial judge Of exper-
fence to the place. The court, as 1t Is
o constituted, is composed Of Judge
Dighton Corson, with an experience OF
twenty-three years on the supreme
bench. Judge Dick Haney, with TWEEN
ty-three years experience on the trial
and supreme bench, Judge Ellison G.
Smith, with twent-three years on the
trial and supreme bench, Judge Chas.
S. Whiting, with nine years on the
trial and supreme bench, and Judge j.
II. Mccoy, with ten years experience
on the trial and supreme bench. The
rule has always been to advance trial
judges when a change has been made
for any reason and 1t has become the
a, nuyrfttAn lam, 80 Gnnth To bnta Sipnn
the court has been increased to five
members the work Is kept up to date
and cases do not lag. From April,
1909, to April, 1912, since the court has
been increased, 1t has handed down
52S decisions, Of which 1909 have been
the work of Justice Corson, the first
presiding Judge Of the court.
These are five able and experienced
judges, just and upright, who have
proved in long years Of service their
loyalty to the duties intrusted to them.
Their opinions are cited with great
respect in the courts OF every state.
They represent no political faction, no
combination and are a court whose
ability and integrity have been ack-
nowledged by the courts OF other
states as inferior to none The voters
of South Dakota will continue in the
Office they have honored Judges Cor
son. Haney, and Whiting. Watch for
these ame on the ballot.

WIRELESS EXHIBIT
At The South Dakota State Fair.
Greatest Invention of the Age
To BE Demonstrated For
State Fair Visitors

Two stations of wireless telegra-
ply will be in constant operation on
the grounds each day of the State
Fair at Huron. What is more, every
South Dakotan who visits the Fair
will be given an opportunity to make
a practical use of this the most Won
derful of all methods of long dis
tance communication. How wireless
brought the Carpathia to the aid Of
the Inflated Titanic, how Jack Binns
sent his famous &C. Q. D." from the
ocean liner Republic, and other won
derful performances will be clearly
explained.
Two young men, one of whom is
O member of the Signal Corps of the
National Guard of New York, go into
the subject fully, and carefully, and
will explain the uses Of wireless in
the army and navy, and will describe
ap experimental communication be-
tween an aeroplane and the earth, in
which the young officer figured Wis
itors who desire, may dictate brief
communication at station number
one, and then receive a copy at sta
tion number two. The educational
feature of this exhibit will doubtless
be appreciated by all who attend the
Fair,

SOUTH DAKOTA GIRL
SAVES DROWNING MAN

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 25-Spec-
ial: By rendering first aid to the
drowning, Miss Amanda Clement, the
famous girl baseball umpire of South
Dakota, who during the past year has
been physical director in the Young
Women's Christian association head
quarters at La Crosse, Wis, saved
the life of a young man who appar-
emily had been drowned. Particulars
of the rescue have been received by
South Dakota friends of Miss Glenn
ent. Instead of returning to South
Dakota this summer and accepting
the numerous Invitations to umpire
ball games, Miss Clement remained
at La Crosse, and has devoted her
time to teaching classes of young
women and girls to swim. The young
man was swimming near where Misc
Clement and her flock of girls were.
Another man named Hood went to
the rescue of the drowning young
man, aud when he had brought him
to the shore he was so exhausted
that he could do nothing further to
resuscitate the young man, who was
the next thing to DEATHS door. Miss
Clement saw the rescue and went to
the assistance of the young man.
Her knowledge of first aid to the APP
parently drowned came in very handy
and after strenuous work she had the
satisfaction of seeing him recover con-
sciousness. 1t was generally conced-
ed that he would have died after be.
ing brought to shore had not Miss
Clement been at hand to work over
him so promptly and so scientifically.

A GREAT STATE FAIR

The South Dakota State Fair is
rapidly winning the reputation OF be-
Ing the most up-to-date exposition
of the West. In fact, persons who
know declare that in proportion to
population and development, the
great fair of our state is excelled no.
where in the world in attendance,
quantity of exhibits, and the quality
of both.
Last years record was one to mar
vel at and conjure with. In the mid
die of June, the states OF the Missis-
ssppi valley were hit by a damaging
drouth, and for time, a successful
State Fair at Huron was considered
in despair. For short time, II was
thought that but few counties could
send creditable exhibits. But the
pioneer spirit OF South Dakota got
busy with the result that the 1911
fair was the greatest in the history
OF this state. 1t effectually ST.
fenced the declaration of other states
that South Dakota was down and
out" No other advertising medium

ions that are being secured at the Six
tn Annual Stanley County Fair that
will be held in Kadoka on the IT, Is
