OUR INTELLIGENT SENATE

ASeAAAy IA 1SAoy VIC oliltCA AC0OCS SCIi-
ate voted down the McCumber bill pro-
viding for the federal inspection of
grain. On the fifteenth day Of May,
H. B. Gripper, secretary of the Corn
Trade association of London, England,
wrote the Secretary of Agriculture of
the United States, stating that in the
future his association would buy no
American corn except on "official in
spection certificates of the government
as to quality and moisture content. !"
Our intelligentsUnited States senators,
before voting down the McCumber bill,
accepted the statements of the grain
magnates that the inspection boards
stand higher than any government in
spection certificates could do
1t may as well be taken for granted
that the monopolists is very intelli-
gent man. Our Grain monopoly has SO
misbehaved itself as to grain inspection
that the market, in at least one great
foreign city, is destroyed until this
adopts federal inspection. 1t has be-
fooled the United States senate into a
position of disgraceful inefflciency be-
cause the senate berieved it's misrepre-
sentations. And it has in some manner
reduced the Department Of Agriculture
into compromise on the Lever bill
which will ultimately prove one of those
half way measures which is worse than
nothing, yet will cost the country huge
sum of money.
Farmers join heartily in the express
sions in the letter Of Mr.. Gripper to
Senator McCumber, saying, "My COM
mittee trust that you will see your way
to use your influence in getting a bill
passed by your congress providing for
only government official inspectors,
which European buyers of your corn
consider to be absolutely necessary.

REQUESTED TO DEsGORGE

Announcement has been made that
actions will soon be instituted Id the
name of the State Of South Dakota
against four former state treasnrsrs
and their bondsmen, to recover $2O5.-
GOO interest money on state funds
collected by them when In office.
T Up to the administrator Of Treas $
urer johnson, 1t was the practice Of
state treasurers to appropriate 10
themselves money that was earned
by the state funds and the practice
was winked at under tho allegation
that state treasurers were inadequate-
~ compensated and that the interest
was q perquisite under IN unwritten
law. d
As far back 40 1898, when Kirk
Phillips, then state treasurer, wss !
candidate for governor, the point was
raised that he had appropriated the
states interest money and while the
meagre investigation Of those times
established no proof Of his delln-
quency. 1t is probable that the charge
contributed to his defeat.
When the insurgent republicans
came into power in tho state, their
candidate for treasurer was g. H.
Cassill and he was elected. It Was
presumed that he, being . produc / Of
q reform movement, would not COM
tinue the practice Of his predeces.5
sors. but in this he disappointed his
supporters and in two years hs pock-
eted $4,000 and left the state. d
From three banks in which state
funds were deposited, he drew salar-
les aggregating "a. 900 year. although,
he rendered the banks no service.
And now day Of reckoning ID ap-
preaching. Mr.. Cassill 10 asked 10
pay the state $4,000. the estate Of
Kirk Phillips $4,000. and John
Schamber and 9. b. Collins $4,000
each. This is money that belongs "a
the state and it should be exacted toi
the last penny.

BYRNE STATE MACHINE
GIVEN HEAVY JOLT
Hearing Next Month Certain to Be
of Paralytic Force.

Deadwood Daily Telegram, 4. 1t ap-
pears that the fame of the Homestake
Mining company of Lead this state has
spread beyond the confines of South
Dakota, and has reached the ears of
Uncle Sam at Washington.
One of the ears your Uncle has is
known as the ''U. S. Commission on In
dustrial Relations. Its business is to
receive and investigate complaints OF
any improper or unfair treatment OF
employees by large employers of labor,
or OF violation of law, or of any undue
exercise of power in political affairs
through control of the votes of those in
in their employ.
Evidently some complaints have been
made to this commission of the Home
stake company, as two Of the commits
sion's representatives, VIM. P. Harvey
and George P. West, have been here
a couple of days doing some preliminary
investigating.
While the gentlemen were seeking
information, and not giving much, it is
to be inferred, from the questions they
asked that complaint has been filed with
the commission along several lines.
The Homestake's attitude toward union
labor is doubtless one; its dominance in
political affairs is probably another, and
possibly the commission has heard from
Bishop Bush relative to the utter dis
regard of Sunday laws and one days
rest in seven in the Hornestake mine.
The last public utterance the bishop
made on the matter was to the effect
that he would appeal to the federal au-
thoritles since local appeals were in
effectual.
The investigators who were here were
wholly impartial and interviewed hum
BILE private citizens as well as Supt. T.
j. Greer and other officials of the Home
stake. The impression they left is that
they were doing necessary preliminary
work to public hearing by the COM
mission. It is practically certain that
such kea4jng will be held in this coun-
ty by the commission ere long, at which
anyone with complaints against the
Homestake or any other company along
the lines of industrial relations, can be
heard.
Judging from reports of hearings that
have been held by the commission at
New York, Philadelphia and other points
they are absolutely informal and anyone
with a complaint is heard. No attor-
neys are allowed tointerfere with tech
nical objections to inquiries and testi-
mony. The evidence submitted is taken
freely, and at its face value.
The commission has power to sub
poena persons from any part of the
United States, and to require that books
and documents be presented for their
examination.

Do You Know

In 1918 coal gas had never been
used to light streets. The only street
lamps that existed burned sperm oil.
They gave very little light and were
very expensive and troublesome to
keep up. There were no lucifer
matches. These were not invented
until 1929. sixteen years later.
Clothes were as expensive a hun
dred years ago as anything else. Dur
ing the last years of the French wars
both cotton and wool rose to terrible
prices.
Peas and beans are the most nutri-
tious of vegetables. containing just as
much carbon as wheat, and about
double the amount of muscle-forming
food.

have ivory tusks, while in the Asiatic
