new RAILROAD Being
BUILT in MONTANA

a Kansas corporation has COM
menced the grading for the con-
structiOp of a railroad between
Helena, Three Forks and Raiders
burg in Montana, which will con-
meet with the Chicago, Milwaukee
& Puget Sound line at Three
Forks. The construction work
on this line will be pushed as rap.
idly as possible, and it is expected
that considerable of the line will be
built before the season closes. 1t
is understood that the line will be
extended south from Helena to the
Yellowstone park before it is COM
pleted.
This will open a large additional
territory to the Puget Sound line
and mean considerable traffic for
the Milwaukee. Persons who are
familiar with the territory covered
by the new line, state that it is a
beautiful and rich country.

President Taft is a peculiar sort
of an official. Instead of trying
to regulate the size of the families
to be raised and change the meth
Cd of spelling. he wastes his time
in saving the money of the people.
A recent message to congress from
the president suggests changes in
the administration of affairs that
will save $11, OOO, 900 annually.
Why retain a president that allows
his mind to dwell on such trivial
affairs when we are offered one
that has built up a superb Ananias
club and owns a Big Stick .-Iro.

The fact that q man is authority
on any prominent subject in con-
gress makes him strong in other
ways, as he is always consulted by
all the other members on the one
subject at least and in this way he
has a speaking and working ac-
quaintance that scores of members
do not have. Mr.. Burke, of South
Dakota, who is congressman from
this district is the recognized
authority on Indian affairs and as
it takes more than $40, 900, 900 a
year to provide for this one gov
eminent charge Mr.. Burke is a
real leader by reason of his being
authority on this subject. The
people of this district and this
state cannot afford to lose him and
his services and when there is no
reason for retiring HIM except the
personal grudge of one individual
who is a candidate the voters
should see to it that Burke gets
the votes in June.

friday, April 20. 1912.

In his political address IN tins
city last Saturday evening, the
loud-mouthed candidate for con
e from Aberdeen took occasion
TO refer to j. w. Harris, of this
city, in language unbecomlng a
candidate for such a high office as
he seeks. The candidase III ques-
ton seemed to be angry because
of a couple OF editorial paragraphs
which appeared in the columns Of
The News several weeks ago-one
written by tie undersigned and
the other reprinted from the Java
Herald. He had no reason what
ever to place the blame on Mr..
Harris. Mr.. Harris had nothing
whatever to do with the ap ear
ance of the two articles and knew
nothing about them until he read
them in the columns of The News;
nor does he own any interest IN
The Mobridge News whatever.
The undersigned, editor and man
ager of The News, printed the two
articles solely on his own respon-
sibility. and has no apologies to
offer for so doing, and is prepared
to make sworn affidavit to the
above statements. Further, this
statement is not in any way iu-
tended as an apology fer the APP
pearance of the articles.

Statement.

BrOokings, s. d, April o.
Manley Champlin, of the agrono-
my department of the state college,
has recently investigated the Eur.
eka sub-s,ation and reports that a
bumper wheat crop should be OBJ
tanned in that section of the state.
He states there appears to be fal
above the normal of moisture in
the sub-sOil and barring excep-
tiOnal unfavorable circumstances,
such conditions usually insure q
wheat crop. A well is being put
down at the sub-station, and the
buildings are new being completed
and occupied by the farm foreman,
Frank Sutherland. A line of soil
moisture Investigations, with a
view of determining the actual
quantity Of moisture conserved by
the different methods of farming
will be commenced at each expert

present season.

Thus far the only federal Office
holder who has taken an active and
aggressive part in behalf of any
candidate for the presidency, is the
clerk of the United States court at
Oklahoma City, and he succeeded
in stampeding the convention to
Roosevelt. Had he been working
for Taft instead of Roosevelt the
anti Taft press would have set up
q terrible howl about it.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT POLICIES

The friends and supporters of
Colonel Roosevelt have a great
deal to say about the policies which
prevailed during the time the
colonel occupied the presidential
chair, generally referring to them
as the Roosevelt policies"
During the time Mr.. Taft was
secretary of war he was the former
presidents most trusted counsellor
and adviser, and nearly all of the
policies that marked the Roosevelt
administration from February,
1904, to July, 1908, and which be-
came popularity known as 'Roose-
welt policies" we're formulated by
Mr.. Taft. This is a fact we'll
known to the cabinet members of
that day, and to his friends Mr..
Roosevelt frequently acknowledged
that Mr.. Taft was the real invent
or of many of the popular policies
which had been attributed to him
self.
AS late as September 8, 1908, in
a personal letter written by him,
to Mr.. Conrad Kohrs, of Helena,
Montana, Mr.. Roosevelt called at
tention to the fact that Mr.. Taft
was equally entitled to credit for
the policies for which he, the
colonel, stood. We regret that
Colonel R~oosevelt's letter to Mr..
Kohrs is too long for us to publish
it in its entirety, but the following
paragraph, taken from the letter,
will show how thoroughly the
former president appreciated the
support and sympathy he received
MI. laIC:
Il have naturally a peculiar in
terest in the cce Of Mr.. Taft,
and in seeing him backed by a ma
jority in both houses of congress
which should heartily support his
policies. For the past ten years,
while l have been governor of New
York and president, l have been
thrown into the closest intimacy
with him, and he and | have OH
every essential point stood in heart
lest agreement, shoulder to should
err. We have the same views as to
what is demanded 6y the national
interest and honor, both within
our own borders, and as regards
the relations Of this nation with
other relations. There is no fight
for decency and fair dealing which
] have waged in which | have not
had his heartiest and most effec-
tive sympathy and support, and
the policies for which l stand are
his policies as much as mine"

Tuesdays Aberdeen American
publishes an article to the effect
that Congressman Burke is OPP
posed to the opening of the Stand
ing Rock and Cheyenne In1ian
reservations. Those who are at
all acquainted with conditions
know that Mr.. Burke has worked
with the other members of the
South Dakota delegation for the
opening during the past two or
three sessions of congress, and the
article in the American is absO-
lutely without foundation or the
slightest semblance of truth. 1t
vas published solely for the par
pose of impairing his chances for
denomination, but the unreliability
of the American and the utter dis
regard for truth by its present
political editor will result in the
article being completely ignored
by the reading public.

SPIRIT OF PLAY.

The spirit of play in mankind is
a primary cause of the success OF
the secret organizations. That
spirit seems to never die. Age
does not wither the sentiment.
This was exempliied in Fargo re-
Gently when one of the candidates
in a large class was 10 years old.
His heart was still warm and he
enjoyed the festivities, the mlrth,
the jokes and the horse play j1st
as much as the youngest member
of the class. In all secret orders
the same conditions are found. Of
course there are side issues OF in
3urance and sick benefits and
things in some-but underlying it
all is the desire to be a boy again
and have some fun.
The member Of Il secret society
feels, when he cutters Il lodge room,
that he is with his friends with "A
coneenial band and for the time
being he forgets the trials and
troubles of his professional or bust
ness life. Care is lost III the
shuttle and years are forgotten.
It's a good thing that the aver
age man can enjoy himself III this
manner. 1t is il mental rtlaXa-
ton. 1t keeps the heart young
and develops and broadens one. 1t
gives him Il keener insight into
humanity-and adds greatly to the
pleasures Of life.
The man who is not SO cOnstl-
tuted that he can enjoy something
of this kind misses more than he
realizes and is unfortunate, in
deed. Fargo Forum.
