HAS FOLLOWED HIS HAT

Huron Huronlte: 1t will not be
necessary for those persons who are
anxiously waiting on the promise Of
Colonel Roosevelt to divulge his pres
idential intentions next Monday to
dwell longer in uncertainty. The
colonel is going after the nomi-
nation. From his headquarters at
Washington, campaign literature is
already flowing out.
The first instaliment consist of of an
assault on President Taft for the
wickedness displayed by him in buy
ing southern delegates with patronage
and in his preparations to run the
"steam roller" over the Chicago con-
vention.
Four years ago. when Roosevelt was
employing the same tactics in the in
terest of Mr.. Taft, they were not
mentioned against them.
1t is not now convention to mention
that he was the inventor of the Jug
gernault of the spoils system that
crushed the rising progressive pro-
test in the national republican con-
vention of 1908.
The argument that is now being
employed against Mr.. Taft could as
we'll have been employed against Mr.
Roosevelt.

THE SCHOOL CODE

AT the last legislative session there
was a battle royal over what was
known as the "Bigelow" school code
which was hotly opposed by the coun-
ty superintendents of the state. 40
something so new-fangled and radical
that no one could comply with it.
They secured its defeat. BY the way
Mr.. Bigelow was not the only one
back OF this code, but it was some-
thing in the way of the product Of
the school superintendent of the
state. Now the county superintend-
ents are preparing their school code
for presentation to the next legisla-
tive session, carrying their ideas a.
to what the school law should be to
help them along. Incidentally the
grlndstone is creaking as it puts an
edge on the knives of the school men.
for ready use as soon as the county
superintendent product gets out into
the open. And all the time the
school kid'' is looked upon as large
~ by-product, regardless Of whether
It IS the school superintendents or
the county superlntende who. are
at work ona school code.

EQUAL PAY

In Spokane, WASH, they believe in
the equal pay for equal work" idea
and they're going to practice it by
paying seven women assessors the
same amount per month that 1.-THE AZ
male assessors will receive for the
same amount of work. The women g
speciality will be household assess
ments and there will be small chance
Of slipping any furniture by the keen
eyes of these assessors. Marie d
women of good business ability have
been selected for the positions and it
is expected that others will be ap.
pointed later for several Washington
towns.
Equality is coming to have a like
definition for women and men up
there in Washington.

A GROWING PERIL

Very few young men are learning
trades these days, and the problem is
really getting to be serious one. A
few years ago it was deemed tho prop
er thing to educate q young mans
hands as we'll as his head, but now
that sort of thing seems to be out of
date, and all the young men, or near
-ly oii7'of them, seem TO want to be
doctors, lawyers, book-keepers, etc.
This is radically wrong. The young
man who is master of q trade is al
ways sure of good position at re-
munerative wages, while the profess
sions are crowded with those who
live from hand to mouth, and know
not where the next days pay is COM
ing from.

THE SOIL PROMOTER

The back to the soil movement is
unquestionably the manifestation Of 4
genuine human impulse and human
need, but
Thus far it has been, on the whole,
only another opportunity for promoters
and land sharks to speculate on the ne
cessities Of the land-hungry.
Probably theAworst EXAMPLE is the
Florida everglades swindle where. it is
to be feared, the government that
should have protected the homeseeker,
actually protected the interests that
took millions out Of the homeseekers'
pocket and gave him nothing in return.

TO FILE ON STATE LANDS.

N. M Hanson, deputy in the state
land department, left Monday for the
Rosebud and Pine Ridge country, and
while out on the trip will visit the land
offices at Chamberlain and Rapid City,
to make filings on 10000 acres of state
lands in the Rosebud reserve section to
be opened, and 27 900 acres in the Pine
Ridge section. These selections will
close up the indemnity lands in Mellette
and Bennett counties, and while the
Bennett selections are largely in the
sand hills, there was nothing beside this
left for the state to secure.

this matter is not one to be decided

preferences or interests of any man,
but purely from the standpoint of the
interests of the people as whole.
II Will accept the nomination fo,

will adhere to this decision until the
convention has expressed it's prefer.

CONGRESS CROWS RESTLESS

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 25. Poll
tical activities are heating the atmos-
phere to such degree that it is
freely predicted today that demo
cratic leaders of the house and repub.
lican leaders of the senate soon would
find themselves agreed that congress
could not keep up the pace beyond
the middle of June. Until now it
appeared to be an accepted fact that
the session would be prolonged be-
yond the Chicago and Baltimore con-
ventions.
Unless Democratic Leader Under.
wood and his associates in the house
are willing to abandon part of their
program to bring in metal, sugar,
chemicals, cotton and wool tariff
bills, night sessions soon will be
necessary, for practically nothing
has been done with supply measures.
The appropriation bills will require
time for consideration, as the demo
cratic economy scheme is directly
involved.
The republican senate leaders be
lleve it the session drags out beyond
the conventions and nothing is &C
complished that the house will have
to carry the lions share of the re-
sponsibility. All of these arguments
it is predicted are likely to make
both sides more willing to quit before
the conventions.

tiss stated repeatedly in his argu-

tee that the pamphlet could be placed
in the hands of every voter in the
state for $4,000. The Pierre Daily
Dakotan after making careful ex-
animation. states that the cost of the
printing and distribution of these
pamphlets will be S25, 900 at the least
possible figure. Amendments offered
by the representatives of the Press
association to the old law would have
brought this cost down to within
$4,000 of that figure, and allowed
the publication in the county papers
as before.
