CULn's OFFER WAS FAIR.

The offer made by Gull to Hon. Frank
Byrne and which appeared In the Call
of Saturday evening, showed that the
Rapid City man In writing the letter
was actuated by the proper spirit and
that he had at heart the good of the Re
publican party in this State. In this
letter the Judge agreed to Withdraw from
the race for the nomination for Cover
nor provided Mr.. Byrne would do the
same. The object of Judge Cull's max
ing that proposition was due to state
meut which is credited, If not to Mr..
Byrne himself, to some Of his friends
that if both he and Gull remain in the
race it may mean the nomination OF
George W. Egan. In order that neither
Gull nor Byrne could be accused of sell
fishness, the former advocated that both
himself and the Faulkton man with
draw from the race and that each Sc
lect ten republicans who should agree
on some person upon whom all might
unite for the place, the one to be nam
ed to be some person other than Gull or
Byrne.
The offer made by Judge Gull was fair
and one that appealed to all fair mind
ed men, and it is unfortunate that Byrne
has not seen fit 10 view the matter in
the same light as his opponent. How
ever, when the primaries are held next
June Gull, no doubt, will stand in the
lead Of all other candidates. Lead Call,

Is State Geologist.

W. II. Storms, we'll known in the
northern Hills, has been appointed state
geologist of the State of California. Old
residents of Custer will remember him
as printer on the Weekly Herald, and
later he held cases in Rapid. He was a
constant student, and when he left the
Hills in 1887 he was considered an ex-
cellent authority on the geology and
mineralogy of the Black Hills. Those
who knew Mr.. Storm believe he has
merited the position just given him.
Mining and Industrial Review.
Old-timers in Spearfish remember
"Bil" Storms, who as not more than a
mere "kid" held cases on the Register
in 1884. He was a genial chap, but
somewhat preoccupied. The writer has
seen him drop his stick" while work
ing at the case, turn and light a candle,
pick up blow pipe and piece of quartz,
heat the latter in spots, then turn to his
case and go on setting type as if he had
nothing else on his mind. He has been
state geologist Of California one or two
terms before, with satisfaction to the
State and credit to himself.-Spearfish

Regarding Shipment of Explosives.

at has come to the attention of the
Bureau of Explosives, American Rail.
way Association, that many of the users
Of explosives, and especially miners
who are foreigners of the federal law
are in the habit of including packages OF
explosives in their baggage checked in
the usual way on passenger train and
in packages of household furniture ship,
ped in the usual way by freight.
The federal law strictly forbids con.
cealed shipment of explosives or the
transportation of explosives on passen
ger trains even when declared. Pack
ages of explosives must be packed ir
their regular shipping containers prop
erly marked and accompanied by ship
ping orders of the usual form. The
penalty provided for violations of the
federal law are severe and may equal 6
fine not to exceed $2,OOO.OO with ol
without imprisonment not to exceed IL
months.
Many violations of the kind described
above have been reported and in al
such cases where the evidence was suffi
cient to warrant conviction prosecutions
have been started. Guilty parties ever
when their action was due to ignoranc,
have been 6ned and imprisoned; ignor
ance is no excuse for violation of thi
kind.
AS examples, may it be stated tha
miners and other parties have takeI
kegs of blasting powder and even pack
ages of loose sticks of dynamite mixet
with blasting caps all wrapped in loos,
paper packages into the smoking cars O
passenger trains. In other cases wasl
tubs and barrels supposed to contain
only household goods have been foun,
to contain loose powder and sticks o
dynamite.
This Is a matter that affects publ
safety and this information should b.
used not only by parties to prevent thei
own practice from being in violation o
the law, but each person should do al
in his power to spread this information
in the interests of public safety and Il
prevent violations by all parties"

Recent charges and denials of abuse
and misuse of the American flag have
developed the fact that there is no Ma
tional Statutes making such acts pun
ishable. Several States are said to have
severe laws on the subject and the war
department officials are hopeful that
agitation will lead Legislatures of other
States to adopt similar laws. Major
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff Of
the army, contends that the National
Ensign should never be used as table
covering or be tackled up as drapery, but
that it should be suspended from line
or hung against the wall. An attempt
probably will be made to secure Ma
tional legislation on this subject

OFFERS TO WITHDRAW.
L. 8. Gull Makes Offer to r. M. Byrne
Which is not Accepted.

Rapid City, s. d., Jan. 15.-Loomis s.
Gull, candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for Governor, has made public
the following letter addressed to Frank
NJ. Byrne, also candidate for the nomi-
nation:
RAPID CRY, s. D., Jan. IL, 1912.
Hon. FRANK NJ. BYRNE,
Faulkton, 8. d.
MY DEAR Mr.. BYRNE AS I under
stand your position relative to the pres
ent campaign for the republican nomi
nation for Governor of this State, you
consider that the nomination of George
w. Egan would be the greatest calamity
which could befall the people of South
Dakota, and that there is great danger
of Egan's nomination if both you and
remain in the field as candidates. While
do not share in your belief in either
proposition, my judgment should yield
to yours in matters of practical politics.
Such being the situation, there is great
danger that both you and l will be
charged with se6shness if We both re-
main in the field.
AS you remember, we have already
discussed the question of one or the
other of US retiring, but without results
Now, l make you the following offer, be-
lieving We can thereby refute the charge
of selfishness, prove our loyalty to the
republican party and relieve many of
the republicans of the State from a stu
alton which is no doubt embarrassing
to them. My offer is this: That we
each withdraw from the race; that each
of US name ten republicans who shall
meet together and suggest the name of
candidate upon whom your friends
and mine can unite. Such joint com.
mittee, composed, as it undoubtedly
would be, of the leading republicans of
the State, would without doubt be able
to select as candidate man who would
be certain of the republican nomination
and election. Should you not approve
of such method of selecting a candi-
date, will agree that such committee
of twenty, so selected by you and me,
shall determine the manner of selecting
candidate, the understanding being
that in no event shall either of US re-en-
ter the field as candidate.
My own plans are such that l must
make this offer conditional on its accept
ance before January 10th, 1912.
Hoping this letter will be received and
considered in the spirit which i is writ
ten, with a view to harmony in the re-
publican party, remain,
Yours very truly,
LOOMS S. Gull.
