GOVERNMENT GIVES SOME INTERESTING FACTS
RELATING TO CONDITION OF THE STEEL TRADE

The high record expectation of prac-
tically quarter billion dollars worth
Of iron and steel manufactures from
the United States in the calendar year
1911 and OF over ~ billion dollars
worth in the decade ending with that
year has led the Bureau of Statistics.
Department of Commerce and Labor
10 prepare a statement showing the
relative rank Of the leading nations in
the expectation of that important fac
tor Of International commerce.
The worlds leading exporters of iron
and steel, according TO official figures
covering the latest period for which
statistics are available. are the United
Kingdom. Germany and the United
States, with totals ranging from a lit
tie less than 400 million dollars down
10 about $50 million dollars each. To
these might be added a second group
of countries with smaller totals, which
would include Belgium. Netherlands,
France. Switzerland and Sweden.
These eight countries had in 1910 a.
total expectation of iron and steel of
over one billion dollars. or about eight
per cent of the entire value of all
merchandise entering the international
markets of the world. At the head oil
the list of exporters of iron. and steel
is the United Kingdom. with a total of
361 million dollars, exclusive of 16I
million dollars worth OF agricultural
machinery. manufactured in part from
iron and steel and by certain countries
included under that title. Germany IS
second in exports of iron and steel,
with total of 339 million dollars. in
addition to which exports of agricul-
tural machinery aggregated million
dollars. The United States is third,
the 1910 figures being POI million dol
lars for iron and steel and 81 million
for agricultural implements. Belgium
shows 65 million dollars worth of iron
and steel. including agricultural ma
exported in 1910, and France
= total of IS million dollars. exclusive
of IL million dollars worth of agri-
cultural machinery. From Switzerlan
and Sweden the exports of iron and
steel were, in the latest available year.
about Is million dollars each. exclusive
of agricultural machinery. amounting
to nearly one million dollars in the
case of Sweden and about $4,000 in
that of Switzerland.
While the United States thus ranks
only third as an exporter of iron and
steel. her progress in that branch of
commerce has been rapid. the total ex-
ports of that class of articles having
increased from 1O3 million dollars in
1901, to nearly or quite $50 million in
1911. and of agricultural implements.
from II million to 30 million dollars
during the same period. Taking the
period 1900-19l0, the latest period for
which figures are available in the case
of foreign countries. the growth in OK
ports OF iron and steel has been as
fellows: The United Kingdom. from
271 to SCI million dollars; Germany,

THE CHANGE FOR THIRD PARTY.

When Mr.. Taft has been nominated.
where will Mr.. La Foll'ate and his
friends be? They viii be outside
the breastworks if ever politicians
were. for they have left no passage
open through which they can crawl
back into the citadel They opposed
Mr.. Taft before his nomination. and
it is L. be presumed they will con-
tinue TO fight him until his renomi-
nation. They are in a very different
position from men who have opposed
q candidate 50 long as he was sim
PLY contesting for the nomination
but have taken the oath of allegiance
when he became the nominee. for
the opposition of the insurgents is
put on entirely different grounds. In
surgent opposition to Mr. Taft is
based on high moral considerations.
pubiiCans of 1852 Morality is at
stake. Principle is in peril. II is a
very fine and noble thing for men
to rate morality more precious than
party or politics. This exaltation Of
spirit. this disregard Of all conse-
quences. this willingness TO count no
sacrifice too great imposes obliga-
tions. Morality cannot be juggled
with or paraded today and pocketed
tomorrow. If before nomination Mr.
Taft does not measure up to the
standard of political morality de-
manded by the insurgents he is not
redeemed by the convention. As
honest men-and no one will ques-
ton the honesty. the sincerity, so
repeatedly and strikingly shown. and
the high ideals Of the insurgents
they must turn their backs on Mr..
Taft They have no alternative
Nothing could be better for the
future OF American politics than the
creation Of 4 strong. vigorous insur-
gent party that would have the cOur-
age To call inself insurgent, progress
sive. radical. or some other name 20
mark its distinction from what is
now the republican party. For the
new party would be frankly radical.
and the radical in politics serves
very useful purpose: among other
things. paradoxicaI as il may sound.
~ is one Of the greatest forces To
give strength TO conservatism. The
history Of the worlds progress is
written in the interaction Of con-
servat'on and radicalism, and both

GREAT SAFE AND
SANE AT MILLER
Celebration Attracts Large Crowds
From Radius of Forty
Miles

Americas greatest day was duly
celebrated at Miller last Thursday
with bands, auto parade, base ball,
foot races. and fireworks. An unus.
ually large crowd, a fine day, and
rain the night before combined to
permeate the atmosphere with
Fourth OF July cheer.
The days program was opened at
nine O'Clock with a concert by the
Rec Heights band, followed by the
open air exercises in the court house
park. Mayor Christ presided and
introduced the speaker. Attorney
General r. c. Johnson, of Highmore
Mr. johnson entertained his audience
with a pleasing and appropriate add
ress, and Miss May Walsh read the
Declaration Of independence. The
auto parade took place from the
park at one o'clock and proved one
of the most attractive features of
the day. All of the cars were dec
GRATED. some of them very hand
somely, and the first and second
prizes were awarded by a commit
tee of three travelling men to the
Crabtree and Halloween cars.
Three base ball games were played
at the grounds on N. Broadway.
The morning game between Miller
City and Spring Lake was IA to a in
favor of Miller, the afternoon game
between Miller high school and Rock

WOMAN'S CLUB
IN ~GREANLEAF
Literary And Social Organization
A Successful Venture In
Rural District

The Current Event Club, a wo.
mans organization, of Greanlcaf twp
has completed its fifth month, and
with the publication of its second
program booklet. is fairly launched
for a successful years work. The re-
cord of this club proves beyond ques-
ton the feasibility of such an or
~ganization in the rural districts. II
was organized last winter with Mrs
Maude Vessels as president and
Miss Anna Moncur as vice president,
and has grown to a membership of
seventeen women IN the township.
1t has held regular weekly meetings
at the homes of the members, where
a literary and social program has
been carried out. and has been a
source of much entertainment to its
fortunate members. AS indicated
by the title the club devotes con-
siderable time to the discussion of
current events. supplemented by
papers, music, etc.
This club is perhaps the most COM
plete one of its kind ever organized
in the county. outside of Miller, and
is representative of a new and en-
teresting feature Of woman's club
work. Practically every town of
any size has its woman's club, with
its purpose primarily educational,
but the extension of such organic
atoms into the rural districts is a
decidedly recent development. The
women of Greanleaf twp. have rea-
son to feel proud of their new en-
terprise.
The membership of the Current
Event Club is as follows: Mesdames
Aymer. Garlic, Moncur. Vessels,
Murphy. Davis, Marsten. Eva Will
son. Weise, Pierce. Myers, Louise
Wilson. Bowman, and Misses Anna
Moncur, Goldie Wilson, Jessie Mon.
cur, and Anna Bender.

CELEBRATION AT
MILLER IN 1883
Locking Backward Tween Nine
Years To First Big
Celebration

At the thirtieth anniversary of
her first Fourth Of July, Miller en-
tertained some $500 people with a
celebration which might have been
taken from the annals of her first
years with exception of an automo-
bile parade and about 1000 more
people.
The towns first observance of the
Fourth was in 1882. but there were
not enough people here for a real
celebration, so the first real one oc-
cured in 1888. just twenty-nine years
ago. The following is the Press's
account of it.
Fourth At Miller
(From Files of Press July 10, 1889
Shortly after sun rise people be-
gan arriving from the country, and
when the 10 A. M. passenger arrived
a host of Rec Heights people joined
the throng. Shortly afterward
Marshall Rowland commenced form
ing the procession at the Vanderbilt
Hotel. The president. T. M. Wilkins,
and the orator, Major A. 6. Kellam,
were in the lead behind a pair beaug
tiful white horses. then come a dou-
BILE quartet composed of Messers Ed.
Tom. Joe, Will. and Dick Williams.
and Messers. Wescott, Cutting. Dix
on, and Kephart.
The Miller cornet band of ten
pieces. with l.. w. Arnold as the
drum major came next. followed by
members of the Candy Post G. A. r.
and carriages. wagons, and civilians
on foot. After a parade through
the main part of the city. the pro-
cession wound up at the mammoth
wigwam erected on the east side of
South Miller. and the orator. Major
Kellam delivered an eloquent add
ress. ). l.. Sage Of the Journal,
read the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, and Henry Miller, founder of
our town gave a few brief remarks.
The afternoon progrom consisted
of foot racing. horse racing. dan
cling and various other sports. The
game of bali between Miller and Rec
Heights stood s to 3 in favor Of Mil
Ter. In The evening the people were
treated to a magnificent display Of
fireworks costing nearly seventy-f1ve
dollars. 1t was undoubtedly the
finest pyrotechnical display west of
the Jim river.

Four Years ASe

Baltimore. July g. Richard Frank.
lin Pettigrew. former senator from
South Dakota, and one of the field
marshals of the Clark, campaign. to-
day issued a remarkable attack on
William Jennings Bryan. He denoun-
ced as "hypocracy' the Bryan con-
tention that no man supported by
Murphy's New York delegation was
worthy of the support of honest
democrats. and declared that four
years ago he (Pettigrew) was sent
by Bryan to seek the support of this
same Murphy. for both the no.nin-
alton at Denver and the election in
November. He declares that he was
authorized to assure Murphy that
Tammany would get fair treatment
at Bryan's hands.
He also states that upon Bryan's
request he went to see Roger Sulli-
van, boss of the Illinois democracy.
and made like requests and
like assurance. He declares that
after the Denver convention he was
asked by Bryan to see Mr. Hearst
and to seek the support of the Hearst
publications for Bryan.

So. OAK. HEADS
AUTO RANKS
Leader In Automobiles Per Capita
OF Population

That South Dakota outranks
many of the larger and more popu-
lous states in automobile ownership.
and undoubtedly heads the list in
autIs per capita of population, is
shown by the publication Of the Off
cial registration records for the fiscal
year ending June 80.
There are 717,875 autos in this
country. New York leading with "a,
989. South Dakota stands eigh-
teenth On the list with 11.422 regis
stored. 1t is claimed that there are
at least a thousand more operating
under old licenses. With her popu-
lation 583,S80. as shown by the 1910
census this undoubtedly places South
Dokota in the lead in the number Of
autos per capita.
The state of Washington with a
population twice as large as this
state has 1900 fewer machines. Kan
sas with three times our population
has 1000 less. Virginia. with four
times as many. has only about one
third as many autos. North OAK
ota registers only 1880 cars.
