WARNED NOT TO ENTER

Washington, March 2.-The gravity
of the situation in Mexico caused
President Taft today to issue procla-
nation virtually warning American
citizens to refrain from entering that
country and those now residents there
to leave when conditions threatened
to become intolable. The decision
to issue such a warning was decided
at special meeting of the cabinet.
The proclamation was augmented
by telegram addressed by the state
department to Ambassador Wilson liz
the City of Mexico. The am bassador
was instructed to inform Americans
in peril there to withdraw across the
border, leaving their effects in the
care of the nearest United States con-
sui. Copies of the telegram were sent
also to consular agents.
The presidents utterance it was
explained was in no sense recogni-
ton of the revolutionary movement
in the sister republic to the south.
Neither was it to be looked upon as
a declaration Of neutrality. 1t was
declared the utterance was solely q
warning to Americans to avoid any
thing that might SAVIOR of partisan
ship in the existing state Of affairs

exercised over the suicide by shoot
ing Cloud, strong Congregational
ist and president of the Indian Y. M.

FILING PLACE DESIGNATED

White River has been designated
by the secretary of the interior as the
filing place for the lands in Bennett
ana Melette counties, to be opened
tor entry in April. After considera-
ton Of the claims of the various
towns that sought to be designated as
the filing point for the Rosebad lands,
the officials came to the conclusion
that White River was more convent
emily located than either Murdo or
Gregory, Chamberlain or Dallas
The secretary declined to attach
Bennett and Mellette counties to the
Gregory land district.
The land will remain in the Cham
berlain district as at present. While
filings will be made at White River,
entries will be made at Cham berlain
as required under the law.

POLITICS RED1vIvUs

Sure; we all knew the Colonel
couldn't stay out Of the fray. And
it all adds to the gayety of nations.
Already the sight of his hat in the
ring has melted all OF the other poll
tical camps to intense activity.
Such cannonading as is going on
from all the campaign headquarters
in Washington. Now the Colonel's
voice will be added to the din. With
so many candidates in the field on
both sides it really looks as if it were
very open season for huntsmen in
the Presidential preserves. And it's
limited that the woods are simply full
of dark horses which will emerge at
the first sign of deadlock in either
convention, ready to run around the
bunch and get under the wire first.
Some of the best guessers among the
politically wise think, however, that
no dark horse will win out in either
convention.

TAXES PAID BY RAILROADS

The figures in the state railway

railway companies in this state paid
last year local and state taxes to the
amount of Sl,S97, s74,51. The heavi-

the state and local taxes the roads
pay the government certain revenue
taxes which add to the above, but
there is no report which shows what
amount of this federal tax is applied
to South Dakota.

THE SOURCE OF WEALTH

'The man who owns the land is
the man." says the laird of Skibo. BY
this utterance the actual founder and
biggest single bondholder of the
worlds biggest trust admits the
truth of the doctrine of Henry George.
The ultimate source of all wealth is
the land. The steel trust, licensed by
special privilege to charge purchas-
ers of its wares millions and millions
of unearned dollars, holds its domin-
ating power through control of the
land that contains the ore supply for
the future.
Mr.. Carnegie knows that the Lake
Superior ore lands which the steel
trust values at 500, 00O,000 could not
have been tied up as basis for con-
troll Of the industry had they been
subject to a land value tax.
Holding the land and its resources,
parceling it out for profit as oppor-
tune times for opportune purposes,
goth century money kings seek to es-
tablish a control over other men not
one with less absolute than the rule
Of medieval despots.
Truly the man who owns the land
is the man," and Mr.. Carnegie BE-
lieves in having just as few of him as
possible.

MEXICAN SITUATION.

1t would seem that the feeling of APP
prehension regarding the danger Of
American intervention in Mexico is
even keener down there than it is here,
in view of the semi-official threat that
if intervention does take place, every
American in Mexico would be assassin
ated. That's bad threat; but think of
the retribution which would overtake
the assassins. However, there's no de-
sire on the part of this country to get
embroiled with, Mexico. and if such q
thing should happen, it would happen
regardless of threats or fear of conse-
quences.

OLD LAW APPLIES

The presidential predictions in re-
gard to this state have been based
largely on the theory that the rule of
selection of six delegates by districts.
and four at large would be followed.
But the filing of the first list Tuesday
is one of ten delegates to be selected
bv the vote of the whole state. and
an examination of the primary cleo
ton law indicates that while it was
amended at the last session to pro-
vide for the selection of congressman
by districts, the amendment did not
go far enough to carry it with the se-
lection of delegates to the national
convention by any such m ethod, and
the result is that the department Of
the secretary of state will hold that
all the delegates must be selected by
vote of the party followers of the
state at large. This will eliminate
any possibility, or at least any likeli-
hood of divided delegation. Tho
whole delegation is more than likely
to go to one or other factions as .
whole. The only likelihood OF )
break in this is the possible filings
by individuals as candidates for dele Ii
gates outside the regular lists under
notices, which may effect the returns
as those individual candidates ii they
get into the field may swing enough
votes from the regular lists So q
