OIL AND GASOLINE
Food and Drug Department is
Having Placards Dis
played

Vermillion, Dec. 5.-Empl Eyes in
the Office of the state food and drugs
department here at the university are
busy this week mailing to all retail
dealers in kerosene and gasoline cop
les of the placsrd which the commits
sioner, who is also ex-officio inspector
of petroleum products. is required by
Law to prepare and send to all dealers.
This placard sets forth the different
standards recommended by the inspsc-
tor as to Besume gravity for the differ
ent purposes for which the petroleum
products are generally used. Every
retail dealer in these products must
post up and at all times display"
this placard, together with the GER
tifcates received by him fronl the
wholesaler covering the petroleum
products offered for sale in his place of
business.
The purpose of the p.acald is pri-
marily educational. Much of the
complaint from users of gasoline finds
its source in the Fact that the con-
sum + uses the cheaper grades of gas
oline in stoves. fiatirons. etc, and
this gasoline is not intended for such
purposes. 1t is too heavy for use in
these appliances and its use soon re-
suits in a clogging of calves and other
inconvenences. The lighter gasoline,
il properly made, does not produce
these unsatisfactory results because it
contains none of the heavier oils
which. in the cheaper gasolines, are
slow to volatilize and burn. With
kerosene much the same difficulty is
met. The cheaper, heavier oils give
good end satisfactory results when used
properly. but lamps in which they are
used must he more frequen ly cleaned
and the wicks should be renewed be-
foIe they have to be discarded on ac-
count of being too short. Burners
must also be frequently cleaned by
boiling for some time in water con
tanning a small amount of saleratus
or cooking soda.
There has been shipped into the state
recently u small amount of kerosene
which the inspectors have found 1t
necessary to reject for Illuminating
purposes because of the fact that it
showed a flash point below the limit
established in the South Dakota law.
Two tank cars aud a considerable
Lumber of barrels have been rejected
on this ground and the sale prohibit
Ell. There have also been detected
cases of improper labelling on barrels
OF oil and gasoline shipped into the
state. These goods have been reject
ed and the companies notified that
prosecution will follow second ~offense.

STERL|NG'S BILL
Making il Easier for Actual
Homesteaders to Acquire
Land

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 5.-Sena-
tor Sterling, OF South Dakota. makes
the following explanation of a bill in
troduced in the senate by him and en-
titled "A bill piovidiug for free home
steads on the public lands for actual
and bona fde settlers and reserving the
public lands for that purpose"
b purpose of the bill is. as in1i-
Gated by the title. to provide free
homes leads for the actual settlers on
all the public lands. 1t is. in the
main, an extension of the act Of con-
gress Of May II. 1900, to present day
settlers who have not made final proof
or committed their homestead entries.
1t permits final proof to be made and
patent to issue to the settler upon
payment of the land Office fees simply.
without the payment Of any fixed or
appraised price per acre. 10 case the
settler commutes his entry he will.
under the terms Of the bill. pay the
appraised price up to $i.2b per acre,
bat in no CAGE will he be required to
paw more than 81. 90 per acre.
The bill is in the interest of simple
Justice to the settlers On Indian lands
opened for settlement In recent years.
The Standing Rock and Cheyenne
River reservation lands opened for
settlement under the act Of May ~,
1908. were appraised all the way from
so cents to %. so per acre. Four dol
lars per acre is probably not far from
tho average. Add to the purchase
price the value of the improvements
necessary before the settler can have
his patent. to say nothing of the pri-
vations incident to homestead settle
ment, and the a~bsurdity Of calling
these free homesteads is apparent.
There have been four successive crop
failures on the two reservations named
and . petition signed by $50 home
steaders. lately presented to congress.
alleged their inability to make these
payments and asked that patents might
issue to them without further pay
ment.
up to 1891 the settler en- the pub
lie domain could use his three
rights, az they were termed, namely,
the presumption, homestead and timber
culture entry rights. The only pay
ment he was obliged to make. aside
from the land Office fees. was $l.25
per acre. Under the laws allowing
these three rights the better portions Of
South Dakota east of tho Missouri
river were all settled and many set
tiers we're enabled to procure their
40 acres Of land In the most fertile
parts of the state. In comparison
with these conditions the settlers on
the lands recently opened west of the
Missouri river have not had y square
deal.
THE benefits Of the act Of 1900 were
realized BY many settlers on the landl

VICTORY COMPLETE
Byrne and Crawford Won Out

Meetings

Pierre, Dec. 5.-The completeness
of the progressive victory Tuesday
will be more fully realized about the

posal committees meet to make Their
nominations. At that time the pro-
gressive forces of the state. repeated

as in a bad way, will be found pre-.
senting = united and harmonious front
The minority contingent. on the other
hand, will be made up of old-line
stalwarts. Richards supporters and
Egsn supporters. They will find it
difficult to agree on anything.
Nearly all of the majority proposal
committeeman selected Throughout the
state Tuesday are emphatically aligned
either ~ supporters Of Governor Bryne
or Senator Crawford : ia most instances
ardent supporters of both Byrne and
Crawford. The opposition has been
making the claim of strained relations
between these two progressive leaders.
but nothing has been presented in
support Of the claims. In any event
the logic Of the situation points to
the advisability OF them working in
harmony in the coming campaign, and
it lie quite certain that this will hap
pen. One does not need to be .

observe that the progressive republi-

Justice Anderson decides that citizen
and taxpayer cannot, as such, raise the
question OF eligibility to Office Under the
law OF a District Commissioner, appointed
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate: and moreover that, if he could.
the decision of tie President and Senate
in the present case is final for the reason
that no showing has been made that their
determination as to eligibility was reach
ed otherwise than in the exercise Of a
reasonable discretion.
There are two distinct issues involved
in these proceedings: First. Is Conm!s-
sioner Newman eligible under the law,
and, second. can the question on its
merits be brought before the court for
a judicial decision, giving an authorita-
tive construction of the statute.
The Star held the opinion at the time
Of Commissioner Newman's confirmation
that in view of his testimony as to his
intent and the absence of legally con-
vincing evidence OF claim of residence
elsewhere he would be found eligible.
when the final test was applied. But
Justice Anderson's decision does not pass
upon the merits of the question of eligi-
billy, but holds that this question cannot
be tested in the courts at all in the pend
ing proceeding.
II there is an appeal from Justice An
derson's decision, the question carried to
the higher court will be not whether Com
missioner Newman is eligible, but whether
the decision of the President and Senate
concerning his eligibility can in the man
Nor proposed be reviewed by the court.
