exhaustive investigation the Good Gov
eminent league has made a report in
reference to the saloon question In

tant recommendations are made. The
league suggests that in view Of the fact

ing open for a period OF an hour or
two each Saturday evening for tho

to 90, and that not more than 20
licenses per yea be granted until the
population Of the city reaches $1,000,
when an additional saloon may be Ii
censed for each 1000 Of population. The
league further suggests that arrests OF
drunken men be suspended for a time
as al experiment, and that instead a
few of the saloon men who sell to in
toxicated men be prosecuted. 1t is fur

UNSATISFACTORY SERVICE
ON MOREAU RIVER BRANCH
COUNTY SEED DISTRIBUTION
AS CONSTRUED BY JOHNSON

Pierre, S. d, Feb. IA recent at
torney generals opinion throws light
on the seed grain distribution by
counties. States Attorney Wederath. of
Lyman county. inquiries concerning the
date for making the distribution, and
the opinion holds that the section of
the 1911 seed grain law providing that
no distribution shall take place until
the 18th OF April is mandatory; as the
law gives parties the right to- file re-
ouisitions for grain until April /, and
the careful following of the statute will
prevent any parties being left out.

10 Serious Drawback.

Rapid City. s. D.. Feb. 10.-Applica.
tons are beginning to be filed with
Auditor Fall for free seed grain and
they will be considered by the board
of county commissioners at q special
meeting to be held at the county court
house February IL.
Thus far there have been filed tho
following petitions: Victor ]. De-
bauche, Quinn, 90 bushels wheat and
60 bushels of barley; William Bessette.
Scenic, SO bushels Of wheat, rs bushels
of oats and 26 bushels of barley; Mrs.
Emma Smith, Hill City, two bushels
wheat, 100 bushels of oats and four
man, Rockford, 1000 pounds seed oats.
There IL a conflict of opinion among
attorneys al to Just how the county
commissioners can provide the seed
asked for, owing to the presence OF
two statutes, which are themselves In
conflict. States Attorney Denu has
given as his opinion that the old law
Royal G. johnson officially construes
the new law as having repealed tho
old n by implication.
AS a matter OF fact the opinion of
one attorney 10 as good az another,
and none OF them are Of material val
ue in solving this vexed question. The
supreme court. alone can unravel tho
antiquities of the two statutes.
Under the new law free seed grain
cannot be distributed until April 10.
h date IL too late In the season to
make 1t available for the purpose
of sowing and receiving the advantages
Of the moisture afforded by the winter
SHOWS.
States Attorney Denu rays that
he has a plan to suggest to the board
OF county commissioners which he
thinks will bridge the present difficult
ties and allow, the commissioners to is
sue the grain required, to settlers for
seed. His plan Is to have a contract
drawn which follows as far as possible
the old and new statutes construed to-
gether and in consideration for the seed
grain advanced have the recipient give
a chattel mortgage as security for the
payment.

JUDGE LEWIS RULES
CHAUNCEY WOOD WAS
RATIONAL AT DEATH
Widows Claim to Property
Against Sons Upheld Pend
+. ing Further Action.

Rapid City, s. D., Feb. 1S-Judge
Lewis, after hearing the arguments In
the petition brought by George F.
Schneider, administrator Of the estate
OF the late Chauncey M. Wood, to de-
termine the validity OF some assign
ments OF rents Of real estate TO his wife.
Bessie Wood, said that in his opinion
Mr.. Wood was Of sound and disposing
mind at the time he made the assign
ments and continued to be so up to
within a few hours Of his death.
The signatures" said Judge Lewis.
ARE bold and the instruments are
valid for what they are worth. I can
arrive at three conclusions Of law In
considering the evidence as submitted.
"First-That the assignments are q
transfer to Bessie Wood Of all the
rents and profits. This I do not believe
was the real intent Of Mr.. Wood. He
was capable at the time Of signing
these instruments Of making q deed
with all the formalities surrounding
such a'document. This he did not do.
S~econd-that the Assignments m void
as against the statute Of perpetuities
in the state of South Dakota. Third
that the assignments convey the rents
due and those which may become due
at he date of the instruments.
Il shall adhere to the latter con-
clusion and instruct the administrator
to pay over to Bessie Wood the rents
accrued. at the date Of the assign
ments. That he in the future hold the
rents accruing under present leases,
pending a compromise between Mrs.
Wood and the heirs at law Of Mr..
Wood, which involves having Mrs.
Wood execute a quit claim deed to
the administrator of whatever interest
she may have in the real estate of her
deceased husband by virtue of the
three assignments. II she accepts this
then the rents accruing from the pres
ent leases shall be paid over to her,
from the a I Of the assignments.
IF this comprosntsA Is not effected
by March / then I instruct the admin
istrator to bring suit In the circuit
court to have the validity OF tho leases
determined and the rights Of the par
ties determined"
Tho amount Of property involved is
about SIS, 900 and its present income is
$40. One lease Of $50 per month has
five years to run n another Of $25
per month has two and a half years
to run

RELATIVE VALUE OF NEWS ITEMS
Some Remarks Addressed to the Met
ropolitan Press.
(From the Lawrence American. ]

ILL.,
The metropolitan Sunday newspa-
pers blossom out in July with their
special supplements of summer resort
news. The doings of the fashinoable
colonies are given as much space as
is allotted to the telegraphic dis
patches from all the rest of the world.
All this is good newspaper work and
sells papers, though one questions ii
the editors do well to give as little
space as they do to the many simple
resorts patronized by the million
Father than by the millionaire
The funny thing about it is that
this summer resort news is so very
like the cross roads reporting in the
country weekly which the Smart
Alecks of the metropolitan press dress
up so cutely under the style of the
.Bungtown Batter
1t is a very amusing thing when the
country weekly reports in all serious
ness that Reuben Corntassel has paint
ed his barn. Yet the same news
paper that makes fun of it will give a
column with cuts to the millionarie's
new 100000 country house. And the
aforesaid country house probably rep
resents no larger proportion of the
millionarie's capital than the proper
tion of Reuben's little nest egg that
was required for the aforesaid adorn-
ing of his farm buildings.
There is a sincerity, reality and
an industry reflected by the effusions
OF the country correspondent, that is
absent from the fashionable summer
resort news. When you consider how
hard Uncle Reuben had to struggle to
gain the funds for the above named
job of decoration, it really becomes a
sociological fact of some import. 1t
typifies the spirit of enterprise, tends
to show that there are powerful forces
battling against rural decadence.
Running further down the column,
one reads how the rain has helped the
potato crop, how Uncle ESb Smith has
built a new poultry house, all reflect
ing the useful and toilsome lives that
are serving their fellow-men by deyo-
ton to daily tasks and plodding in
dustry.
Turning to the summer resort news,
nothing is seen about anything so dull
and homely as crops Teas, bridge
parties. golf and tennis tournaments,
yachting and coaching parties, verify
the wine and froth of life, good in so
far as it is wholesome recreation,
futile in so far as it is the customary
occupation of idle lives
Wherefore, when the country cor
respondent, in her faded and pathetic
black ibombazine hears her simple and
sincere village Items derided let her
reflect that human nature is just the
same in Newport as in Lonesomehurst.
1t is of vastly more significance that
Uncle Reuben has painted his barn
than that Mrs Vanderbilt has given a
heart party For the first was crea-
tive act, the second was non -produc-
tive

How to Renovate Net.


Black net requires good brushing

How TO Protect Dining Table.


The housewife who possesses a high
1y polished table does not care to have
it ruined b. hot dishes, for wherever
the hot dishes are placed upon the
table. if the table is not properly pro-
tected. an ugly White blemish occurs.
Even though one has beneath the
table linen the heaviest of silence
cloths. there is often danger of the
heat penetrating to the table. The
only way to make sure that the table
will be protected is to place asbestos
mats beneath hot dishes. and asbestos
mats. unless they are covered, are tln-
slightly Ola of the most attractive
ways of Disgusting the useful mat is
to make linen cover with embroider-
ed scalIoped edges and slip this over
the mat. Before slipping the mat into
the linen holder cover it with canton
flannel on both sides. Many of the
table mats bought in the stores are
made Of straw. These. however, are
not heat proof. In order to make them
so one can add to them piece of as
bestos. placing it on the under side,
where it will be hidden from view.
These straw and linen covered asbestos
mats are indispensable when one is
using a daily service or luncheon cloth
where the silence cloth is not used.

Mayor Riddle for Wilson.

Mayor VIM Riddle, of Atlantic City,
last Monday startled the Republicans
of the State by announcing his de-
termination to support Governor Will
son for President.
Il am for WILSON, said Mayor
Riddle, because | believe he is the
biggest man who could have been
named for the place. AS Governor
he has done more for New Jersey and
Atlantic City particularly than any
Chief Executive the State has had.
"By his persistency and honesty of
purpose Governor Wilson has done
more to restore government by the
people in this State and city than the
most optimistic among us could have
hoped to obtain after years of agi-
tation.
AS President ] believe Governor
Wilson would be able to accomplish
Just as much on a broader scale for
the country at large. That is what
we need more than anything else at
the present time With it will come
a restoration of confidence and safe
and sane adjustment of the many in
tricate, problems which confront the
nation at the present time.
1.-THE need of the hour is restora-
tion of government control to the peo-
pie and that il not going to be accom-
plished by third party. There is no
occasion for one with Wilson the
nominee of the Democratic party.
What he has accomplished here in
New Jersey as Governor he can and
will do for the nation as President.
Every Democrat and believe the in
dependents along with them can ac-
complish more by voting for Wilson
than by following the fetch of third
party when all they seek in that di-
rection is personified in Governor
| Woodrow Wilson.

So many non resident motorists are
abusing the fifteen day touring law
passed last winter permitting them to
come into this state free for that
length of time, that State Motor We
hicle Commissioner Lippincott has
perfected a plan for checking the
length of time that foreign automo-
biles remain in this State. He is to
receive the cooperation of the Po-
lice Departments throughout the state
in this work and already several au-
tomobilists have been arrested and
fined for exceeding the fifteen day
limit.
Mr.. Lippincott has drafted a bill to
be introduced in the Legislature next
winter requiring that lamps shall so
be placed on the rear of automobiles
as plainly to show the registration
number at night.

The report of the Interstate Com
smerce commission on the express
monopoly sets forth that while these
companies are capitalized at $106,000,-
900 they represent an actual invest
ment of only $7000,000.
This shows that the express COM
panies charge about fifteen times as
much as would be necessary to give
them a profit on their actual money
invested, and that is just about the
size of this graft They get As
cents for carrying a package that
they should carry for 8 cents. And
that is what they would have to

PASS SUGAR BILL
REDUCING TARIFF
BristoW-L Lodge Measure Adopted
by Senate 81 to 3.
BELIEVED TAFT WILL SIGN IT
Cut Would Save $2o,ooo,ooo to Con
sumers and Decrease Revenue
$500, ooo-Reciprocity Re-
peal Is Defeated.

Washington, July 30.-The senate,
by vote Of 81 to passed the Repub.
lican sugar tariff bill on Saturday, the
only real Republican revision measure
that has been adopted at the present
session Of congress-
DESERVING their allies OF the last two
days, the Republican progressiyes, by
an ironclad agreement with the regu-
lars, succeeded In passing a tariff re-
ductfon bill which they believe Presi-
dent Taft will sign II it reaches him.
The sugar bill was a compromise
between the Lodge plan, Endorsed by
the regular Republicans and the Bris-
tow bill. behind which the progress
s1ves lined up. 1t would cut the pres
ent sugar duty to $190 to $1.60:
would abolish the Dutch standard. un-
der which practically no refined sugar
can be imported; and would abolish
the 7z cent ''reflners differential," an
additional duty on refined sugar,
which, 1t Is claimed, has accrued d.
rectly to the profit of the sugar re-
fners.
1t is estimated that the sugar tariff
reduction, If it becomes effective, will
reduce government customs receipts
about $5,500,000, while its savings In
the retail sugar bill Of the nation is
estimated at $20,000,O00.
An attempt to attach the Canadian
reciprocity repeal amendment to the
bill, made by Senator McCumber, was
defeated 81 to "a. This vote showed
the purpose of the Republicans to pre-
vent any change in the sugar bill that
might mean its defeat when it goes
back to the house
Democrats and insurgents united
again in the senate on Friday and
by vote of So to Is passed
the Democratic excise tax bill, ex-
tending the present tax on corpora
tons to the business of individuals,
private firms and co-partnerships.
Attached to the measure, also by the
aid of Republican votes, we're amend
ments for the repeal of the Canadian
reciprocity law and the fixing of 50
per ton tariff on print paper, and for
the establishment Of a permanent non
partisan tariff commission
The bill as passed by the senate
leVies an annual tax equal to one per
cent. of net incomes In excess of S.
600 upon all persons, firms or co-part-
nerships. AS amended it will now 60
