PRESIDENT AND SENATORS
CONFER AS TO THE TARIFF

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The tar
III conference between President Will
son and the Senate finance commit
tee was ended at AIS o'clock. Presi-
dent Wilson made the following
statement:
THE result of our conferences is
that we don't see any sort of diff
Guilty in standing on our party pro-
gram"
President Wilson announced some
time ago his intention of frequently
visiting the Capitol to keep close
watch on legislation. The Chief Elk
ecutfve believes his presence at the
Capitol to-day to personally discuss
the tariff bills and the currency re-
form will greatly aid these easures.
This afternoons conference is not
expected to have any far-reaching
results, other than establishing a
precedent, and is only one of a series
between the President and the FL
nance Committee the first of which
was held at the White House last
Monday. The Presidents visit to the
Capitol will be informal, the Chief
Executive being accompanied only by
Secretary Tumulty and a secret
service operative.
The Presidents room has long been
one of the show places of Washing
ton, containing as it does probably
the handsomest cut glass chandeliers
in the city. Its unitarian facilities
were few, however, during the past
century, as it was used but once a
session, on the last day Of Congress,
so the President could sign bills
passed shortly before adjournment.

BRYAN FEARS TREATY PERIL.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Secretary
of State Bryan fears that the clause
in the Underwood tariff bill granting
concessions to goods brought in on
American steamships will prove
menace to twenty commercial treaties
between the United States and other
countries These treaties contain the
"most favored nation" clause, TO vio-
late which it is feared might prove
troublesome. The section of the bill
reduces by . per cent any goods
brought here in American ships.
New England dealers who threat
ened to go on the warpath against
the provision in the tariff bill for free
boots and shoes have apparently sub
sided, according to Representative
Murray. of Massachusetts. 1t is be-
iieved that there are enough conces-
sions in the shape of reduced duties
on leather and tanning materials to
make up for the wiping out Of the
present duty of Is per cent ad val
orem. The shoe manufacturers are
further protected against foreign in
vasion. il was declared, by American
prejudice against foreign made shoes.
The consensus of opinion to-day
was the free shoe provisions would
not cause nearly as much STRIFE
among Democrats as was at hrst eN-

CAPITOL GROUND LAKE

The artesian water was turned into
the capital ground lake last week,
and the lake is rapidly filling. With
the new ground freshly graded it had
been supposed with good reasoning
that the lake would take at least a
month to fill, first having to soak up
the ground down to a considera BILE
depth. It is now thought it will be

cold enough weather should happen
to come along to Pierre this year to

turned in last Thursday, all the frogs
seemingly thought spring had come,
and croaked all night loud enough to
be heard everywhere.

midnight Of October 81, report that
unregistered voters continue to put in
an appearance for the purpose of hav-
ing their names enrolled 30 they will
be eligible to vote at the primary cleo

provides that those who failed to
register by October 81, can have an
additional period in which to do so,
this terminating at midnight on De
cember 81. Those who fail to regist-
er by that time will have no further
opportunity to do SO, and will not
be permitted to vote at the party
primaries in March. Everything now
indicates that practically full vo,e
will be cast at the March primaries
throughout South Dakota.

There isn't democrat in congress,
facing the prodigious amount of work
ahead, who is not glad that the extra
session was held and the big start
made on the party's legislative pro-
gram. If this were the first assemb-
ling Of the congress chosen in 1912
and the democrats had the tariff and
currency bills to take up de noyo, as
well as the mass of other measures,
the congestion would be terrific. But
having made the start last spring,
the record of legislative achievement
may now become exceptional in spite
of the large amount of time already
wasted.

NO TEST OF STRENGTH

Huron Huronite: While the news
paper organs of the state machine are
indulging in congratulatory comments
over the disposition of the republican
majority proposal committee to ratify
the program of the machine, the aver
age thinker is aware that the conclus-
ions reached on Tuesday were not test
OF the intentions of the state.
The majority proposal committee was
chosen from the ranks of the faction
that adheres to the administration and
1t must necessarily represent the ad-
mlnlstratlon. being the faction that
won in the election of last fall. The
minority proposal committee is the dig
senting committee. I.represents the
opposition to the administration, to the
winning faction of last fall.
AT the state proposal meetings ct
Pierre on the 5th OF January, each COM
mittee will select ticket that will re.
present the views Of it's faction. and
that proceedings will be no test Of the
strength of the factions.
Il
| The test will come at the primary
election next March. when the perfume
tory preliminaries will have exhausted
themselves, and the voting forces of the
factions will meet at the polls and wage
contest for supremacy.
On the 7th of January the majority
and minority committees Of the several
counties will meet at the county seats
and name their respective county tick
cts, which will be voted for within
each party at the primary election Of
March next.
The conclusions of the several pro-
posal committees possesses no signifi-
cance outside of the factions represent
ed by the committees. Resolutions
adopted by mass meetings for the Sc.
lection of proposal committees were
but the expression of the factions that
named the committees.

STILL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT

Washington, d. c., Dec. S.-David
F. Houston, secretary of agriculture.
today published his annua report for
the year 1918. The report differs
from previous reports in that, in
stead of merely reviewing the agri.
cultural situation, it presents in
summary many broad economic cues.
tions. Throughout the report strong
emphasis is placed upon cooperation
between the departments of agricul-
ture and other federal department. f
and the state agricultural agencies to
promote coordination and eliminate
dudlicetion of effort. The keynote is
getting the departments information
in all fields more directly and in more
valuable form to the people.
Increased tenancy, absentee owner
ship, soils still depleted and exploit-
ed. inadequate business methods, the
relative failure to induce great ma
Jority of farmers to apply existing
agricultural knowledge, and the sug-
gestions of dependence on foreign ma
tions for food supplies warn us of our
shortcomings and incite us to addi
tional efforts to increase production.
The report states that there is no
ground for thinking we have yet ap
proximated the limit of our output
from the soil, but that we have just
begun to attack the problem, and
have not reached the end of the pion-
eering stage, and only in a few locali
ties have developed conditions where
reasonably full returns are secured. :.
We have unmistakably reached the
period where we must think and plan.

THE MILK cow, MANS FRIEND

AS far back as history runs the COW
has been mans best friend. Her milk
and butter have sustained the family in
periods of distress and afforded neces-
sary part Of the provender at all other
times A fresh exemplification Of the
cows usefulness and indispensability
is being witnessed in western South
Dakota. where her presence is the ono
thing that prevents vast territory
from depopulation. Farmers in several
counties have had cause for Discourage
ment over repeated crop failures They
have borrowed money until their credit
is exhausted. In order to secure seed
wheat they mortgaged the next crop
and promised one fourth of the hnrvest
for the use of money to buy seed.
In many cases everything the farmer
owns, except his cows, is incumbered.
But in no instance, SO far as heard Of,
has mortgage been placed on the
cows. The farmer dares not risk the
loss of this one great and unfailing
source of sustenance for his children;
and financial income for the family. BY
keeping his cows he is assured that the
gaunt wolf of hunger will stay outside
the door. Not only will the dear ones
within have something to eat. but the
sale of butter aud milk will enable the
father to keep his family clothed suffi-
GENTLY to Withstand the rigors of win
ter. Truly, humanity owes much to
the COW.
