nounced by Thomas A. Edison, the

100000 to putting his proposed system
into practice.
Edison declares he can teach boys
and girls through the medium of the
Photographic film what they have
heretofore painfully learned through
printed words, figures and diagrams.
He declares that in this way any con-
crete thing can be learned to the max
imum of efficiency and with the min
imum of effort. Edison has already ac-
complished enough in his experiments
to assure him of the practicability of
his latest work.

pie will assemble all over this fail
land of ours to garland with sweet
flowers the graves Of our dead heroes
who realized for the world the dream
OF centuries, the hopes and aspirations
of ages past; who made liberty real
ity and planted truth and righteous
ness in this nation to grow and bios
som and ripen into the fairest heritage
ever bequeathed by mortal men to the
generation that should follow them
since hope first dawned upon the hu-
man heart.
And from the banks of our streams
we will cast flowers upon their wa
ters, in token of our love for those
who fought for liberty there and fell
to rise no more until the morning rev.
ellie shall call them to the assembly OF
the Grand Army on the other side of
the Great Divide.
'And from shores of oceans we will
trust our floral tributes to the tides
to tell our deep devotion to the men,
DRY of those who fought for freedom
there and fell to their last resting
places beneath the rolling pillows, lull-
ed to sleep by the ceaseless mur1nur-
ings of the sea that whispered to their
departing souls, God reigneth, and
righteousness and liberty shall yet
prevail in all the EARTH
"And then our hearts will go out
in feryent prayer to the God of bat
ties that all these-those who sleep
where kindred hands may cover them
over with beautiful flowers and those
who sleep where only the sunlight
kisses the flowers into bloom above
their graves, and those who sleep be-
meath blue waves, where old oceans

decoration of their tombs-shall meet
again and see each other face to face,

SNAKE DROPS BABE

SYDNEY, N. S. W., May 9.-Because
a big carpet snake recently tried to
swallow John Watts baby whole near
Walcha, the settlers are waging a war

LeCocq for Railroad Com

Your Vote

Notwithstanding allegations
made by self-seeking politicians
with axes to grind, Frank LeCocg,
of Harrison, stands before the
voters of South Dakota as the
only Independent and unhampered
candidate for nomination to the
office of railroad commissioner.
He is absolutely free from all cor
poration influence, and as a mem
Der of the board of railroad COM
missioners will have in mind only
the interests of the people of South
Dakota and will protect these in
terests at all times and see that
the people secure a square deal.
His unblemished personal and
public record, gained during his
more than thirty years residence
in the territory and state, guaran-
tees that he will serve the people
faithfully and well.

The question is being asked :
"How old is Judge Corson % A
good answer would be that he is
old enough to attend faithfully to
the duties of a supreme court
Judge, and to write as clear and
logical decisions as any member of
the supreme court. Admitting
that he is advanced in years, it
has oeen conceded by all of the at
torneys except one in his district
that he has earned the right to
recognition as long as he sees fit
to ask for it. If change is to be
made it should be at time when
all of the ablest attorneys of that
district feel free to enter the race,
and the people can then select the
one best suited.

The United States District court

solution of the powder trust. The
courts seem to be doing all that is
within their power to abolish
trusts, but the courts can not be

The trouble is that simply dissolv-

Frank Knox of the Roosevelt

Frank Knox of the Roosevelt
committee, was in Sioux Falls one
day last week. He says: "The
Taft leaders after reading the re-
turns in Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Massachusetts and
California no longer delude them-
selves with the idea that Taft can
be elected if nominated" Yes
they have been reading the returns
from Massachusetts where Mr..
Taft carried the popular vote by
about 1000. They have also read
the returns from Maryland where
Mr.. Roosevelt carried the state by
hiring negro ward heelers in Balti-
more at $75 per day to get out the
negro vote for him. They have
also read the primary vote in New
York, in New Hampshire and in
North Dakota, and they are fully
convinced that if Mr.. Taft can not
be elected most certainly Mr..
Roosevelt can not.

Atty. Gen. Wickersham

Atty. Gen. Wickersham has
commenced action in the federal
court in New York, against the
coffee trust. It is alleged that
95O,OOO bags of coffee, valued at
$40, 100000, are being held in the
ware houses of the New York Dock
Co., for the purpose of raising the
price to an unreasonable extent.
The case is complicated from the
fact that the valorizatlon committee
which is alleged to be holding the
coffee, is composed not only of
American dealers but also of Brazi-
lian exporters, so the case will
have an international coloring.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1912-05-23

In the general political mix-up
the fact is apt to be lost sight of
that we have three supreme court
Judges to elect. In the Black Hills
district Judge Corson, the nestor
of the supreme court bench, is be-
ing opposed by G. S. Policy the
present secretary of state. The
only objection that can be brought
against Judge Corson is his ad-
vanced age. This has not SO far
disabled him, and in the light of
his able and clean record should
not be used against him. In the
Huron district we believe Judge
Whiting has no opposition. In
this district Judge Haney is being
opposed by Mr.. Gates of Sioux
Falls. We know nothing of the
qualifications of Mr.. Gates, but
his reputation as a lawyer has
never extended very much outside
of his home county. Mr.. Haney
has been for many years on the
bench and has won an enviable
reputation both for ability and for
strict integrity. We believe it
would hardly be good policy to
change for a new and untried man
