Congress has been acquiring bad
habits in Incorporating subjects of
general legislation that doubtless
could not be passed If the matters
were TO stand upon their OWN merit,
by making these subjects a part of
general appropriation bills. Senator
Curtis of Kansas, succeeded in eli
minating a great many measures in
volving large sums OF money which
had been included in the Indian APP
preparation bill. A portion of these
were in payment of e~xorbitant fees
for attorneys for services to the In
dams, and it is generally conceded
that a majority of these claims could
not be established in any manner,
and have no show of passage upon
their own merit; therefore, the in
GLIDING of them in the appropriation
bill is plainly an imposition upon the
American public. Nr. Curtis made a
vigorous fight and in the face of a
great deal OF opposition, but sue
ceeded in having the items stricken
from the bill.
Judge Archibald of the Commerce
Court, one of the greatest tribunals of
the nation, must defend himself be-
fore the senate in answer to the in
dictment of the house charging in
thirteen counts that he has been
guilty OF corruption and offences of a
lesser degree. AT the same time a
congressional investigation of a Fed
eral Judge is being conducted in the
of the country's greatest magazines
has this month published charges
against a half dozen Federal Judges
which are plainly libelous If they can
not be proven. In view Of these speci-
fc instances, it is little wonder that
the question of placing the judiciary
within easier reach of the people has
found its place in public discussion
and in the affairs Of political parties.
The republican national committee
met in Washington this week, and in
view of the great agitation that has
been going on in respect to political

that they should therefore lock up
their children until this wicked man"

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE FAIR

The State Fair Board is eXerting
itself to the utmost to make the fair
of 1912 the greatest in the west, and
judging from the manner In which the
work is shaping up these expectations
will be more than realized. With at
fractions already secured and exhibit
ton space already demanded, the
board can now guarantee that the com
ing South Dakota State Fair will be
the star attraction of tn west, says
Huron dispatch.
The aviation meet will far surpass
that of last year. Three different types
of aeroplanes, two biplanes, CurtiSs
and Wright, and a French Newport
monoplane, will be in the air stimuli
~taneously twice daily. This will mean
six flights each day under an iron-clad
contract. The daring work last year
by the unfortunate Cromwell Dixon
called forth unanimous praise, but
the flights of this year will be still
greater and still more amazing.
No other fair in the country will
provide a stronger speed program.
There are already thirty more entries
than last year In the stake races, a
total of 175, including the best racing
stock of Colorado, Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Oklahoma,
Wisconsin, Louisiana Washington,
North Dakota and South Dakota.
The board has secured an excellent
list of attractions, most of which
have never appeared before in the
west. A marvellous exhibition OF
wireless t~elegraphy will be in actual
operation, giving visitors the privil
eye of sending and receiving mes
age Young men operators viii

CHARLTON BANK
PAIO0u1 $4,000
BANK RUN DID NOT SERIOUSLY
AFFECT BANK; BUSINESS
MEN MAKE DEPOSITS.

Charlton, Nov. 25.-Rumors set
afloat by a few irresponsible parties
caused a heavy run on the State Saw
irgs bank at Charlton last SATURDAY,
but the institution was able to meet
every demand made upon 1t and was
ready to pay cash as long as deposit
ors called for it. The president or the
bank, J. A. Brown, had Just returned
a few days before from an extended
trip to Boise, Idaho, and last week
Webb Hultz, vice president OF the IN
stitution, was compelled to go to the
hospital in Des Moines for medical
treatment. These things, together with
the statement that the bank had be-
come embarrassed through a large
loan upon which it could not realize,
were largely instrumental in causing
the furry. The failure of the First Ma
tionaI bank here five years ago is still
vivid in the minds of the people OF
Lucas county. It is stated here that
Mr.. Brown is the owner, of $500 acres
of Lucas county land without dollar
against it, and owns as much more
Iowa land elsewhere. The bank also
owns $4,000 capital and surplus and
has been doing an excellent and con-
sentative business. Both Mr.. Brown
and Mr.. Hultz were in the bank all day
Saturday and the institution paid out
in cash about $4,000. Late in the aft
ernoon money commenced to flow
back into the bank, placed there by
business men of the community and
by the frightened depositors who had
recovered from their scare. s....-
