HUNTING GROUNDS

SON and the protection afforded by the
state game laws, hes attracted atten-
ton far beyond the confines of South
Dakota. as is indicated by the an
nouncement that Percy Rockefeller,

Gates, Emil EaIling of the Milwau.
kee road and others have leased the
hunting privileges over a large tract of
land in Racine and dreeuville town
ships in this day county, of a. f.
Hart, the owner. and signs are being
posted warning everyone against tres
passing. The announcement has caused
keen disappointment to many Day
county shooters, who have for years
enjoyed the shooting on the passes near
Waubsy, where the Hart lands are lc-
Gated, and where farm boys, towns
people and visitors from the cities
have enjoyed ''potluck" together in
jovial good comradesbip, and there is
an inclination on tho part of home
sportsmen to resent the leasing OF
their good bunting grounds to the
wealthy New Yorkeis.

WEALTHY OUTCAsTS
Idle Rich No Better than Idle
Poor, Says Chicago
Official

Chicago Aug. rs. .-President A. A.
Mccormick of the county board in a
statement today made an appeal for a
volunteer philantbropist who shall rise
up and put to work the idle rich.
He was talking about the work to be
done by James Mullenbach. newly
appointed superintendent of the Oak
Forest institutions. in putting paupers
and outcasts ut work.
THE human scrap pile for which we
have to pay is cluttered up, not alone
with the paupers and down and
outs, I" he remarked philosophically.
but with the idle rich, who sit around
luxurious Lotels and watering places
with nothing to do but overest and
sleep. | was astounded by the waste
of human energy at the county insti
buttons, but am appalled, when l
think of that far greater waste Of en-
ergy among those whose wants have
been provided for and who have moth
ing to do but dress for dinner.
"We have 500 persons sitting with
folded hards in our county institutions
content because their wants have been
provided for, / could net help think
ing of u wealthy outcasts in this
connection. They are really beyond
the pale Of human effort. for they
are doing nothing that is of good to
ANYBODY. not even to themselves.
1.-The idle wealthy are going on the
scrap pile voluntarily. They are not
only useless, but harmful. Somebody
ought to wake them up and make them
think. And this waste can be found at
most any fashionable resort east and
west. If we had a little help from
those who can give help it might
solve a lot of problems that put the
poor wards Of the county where they
are. +"

Whitmarsh is believed to he NJ
what mentally unbalanced. The new
series of charges against him are the
result of his attempt to hold up and
abduct Mrs. Nettie Jensen. Foster while
she was on her way to her home in
Howard with her baby and little
brother. This wac at about nine
O'Clock at night. When Mrs. Jensen
Foster repealed his advances he drew
a gun and ordered her to follow him.
In fear of her life the young woman
followed him for a short distance, and
then, coming opposite the gate OF a
residence she suddenly rushed through
the gate and screamed. Whitmarsh,
alarmed by the scream, which he be-
lieved would bring assistance to his
intended victim, took to his heels, but
was arrested a short time later at a
hotel, where he had registered under
an assumed name.
When searched a gun and a part of a
kit of burglars tools were found in his
possession. His latest offeuse subject
him to the charge of attempted hold
up, assault with intent to commit a
statutory o~ffense, having in his posses
sion burglar tools, and assault with
intent to do great bodily harm. He
was held in bonds of $500 for trial
during the September term Of state
circuit court for Miner county and in
default of bonds has been lodged in
the county Jail.

A LITTLE LATE
Senator Sterling Failed to Record
His Vote On the Sugar
Schedule

Washington, Aug. %. -Absent mind
edness. Il little afternoon nap or some-
thing of that sort was to blame for
Senator Sterling not voting on the
Bristow amendment to the sugar
schedule of the pending tariff bill.
Senator Sterling the day before had
made a speech in which he expended
much lung power in support of the
amendment He had told the senate
how it would benefit South Dakots,
how it would encourage the cultiva-
tion Of sugar beets, how the raising
of sugar / eets would result in rota-
tion of crops, how rotation Of crops
would mean enrichment and fecunda-
tion of the soil to the extent that the
wheat yield could be increased to thir-
ty Eve bushels per acre and the oats
Yield to seventy bushels per acre. and.
finally. how this duty, provided for
in the Bristow amendment, ultimate
ly would mean the establishment of
beet sugar factories within the borders
of his state. the soil of which is better
or, at least, as we'll adapted to Guilt
4 tdttOh VI bdNIu0tluc uCCtb dH tudt VI
any other In the union and how the
building up of this industry would be
made possible IL sugar should te put up
on the free list.
But when the time came TO vote
and the ayes and nays we've demand
ed ON this important question. 10
that the country might know from
the record what senators favored free
sugar and what senators were against
il, the junior senator from South Da-
kota was not there and the calling of
the roll was finished without his name
being recorded on either side. How
ever, there is no doubt the absence was
an accident, for just as the roll call
was concluding, the tall senator was
seen tearing across the plaza in front
of the capitol. He was coming from
the direction of his hotel and was run
ming like the wind, his coat tails
flying like two flags on a racing
motor boat. But, alas. the senator
was too late. Have they voted ~
be painted. They had. The vote was
"a in favor of the amendment, 39
against it. Senat,r St~erling's vote
would not have saved the day, but
If he and three other republican sens.
tors who were absent without being
paired with democrats had been pres-
emit, the vote would have stood 3s for
to 80 against and. in that event, some
weak kneed democrat might have
joined his colleagues. Thornton and
Ransdell, Of Louisiana. in voting for q
protective duty or sugar and the Will
son administration would have been
defeated in the most important schedule
of its tariff bill.
