ANTI So FFrAaIsT.

The statement was recently made that
the women of South Dakota are not
united on the suffrage question, and re-
ference was made to some anti suffrage
speaker. l wish to invite the attention
of the readers of the Chronicle to few
facts.
First. In South Dakota there is one
prominent Pierre woman, who early and
late proclaims Woman's unfitness for
the ballot, because "her place is in the
home"
The lady of Pierre is the most pro-
minent anti suffragist in the state.
"Woman's place is in the home" is her
slogan-now the little joke in this posi-
ton is this. The lady herself is news
paper reporter-and very good one
her own place is not in the home you see.
1t is the old and yet the new incon-
sistency, Woman's place is in the home
for every woman that is-but the Elect.
Those who come to South Dakota from
Boston and New York leaving their
homes to tell South Dakota women
where their place is.
Then there is Mr.. j. B. Manlipg
who is active in the state at present,
telling South Dakota men not to give
their women the ballot for fear of GER
tain dire consequences.
The New York World says that this
gentleman is paid $1,000 a month to
work against equal suffrage. The sour
ces of his salary be conjectured.
l have no doubt that many good men
and women oppose equal suffrage, but q
wide acquaintance with conditions
through the state assure me ofa remark
ably strong sentiment in favor. Agrow.
ing sentiment too, which many thous.
ands of us hope will be strong enough in
number to line up South Dakota with
the ten who already have lifted Their
women from the subject class to Citizen
ship.

MURDER CHARGE.
George Hardesty of keystone Arrested
Charged With the Murder of
Homer Shank.

Rapid City Journal.-George Hard.
esty of Keystone was arrested yesterday
on warrant issued by States Attorney
Egan charging him with the murder oi
Homer Shank, whose body was found
lying in the road mile west of Key
stone on the morning of June 10.
The arrest of Hardesty follows an in.
quisition conducted by the states attor.
ney and the sherif's Office, which has
been quietly going on all summer and
during which more than thirty witnesses
have been examined relative to the
crimess-s s,.s4---rass-c,-asss -,-. a-..s. .s.s
The killing of young Shank took place
under peculiar and unhappy circum'
stances. The morning on which his
body was found by Mrs. H. s. Davis,
who carries the mail between Keystone
and Hill City, was to have recorded the
marriage of the young man to Miss Ollie
Wilhelm, step-daughter of the man now
under arrest accused of his murder.
Shank and Miss Wilhem spent the
evening of the 18th together planning
for their wedding and he left her about
10 O'Clock to 60 to the home of Walter
Garfield. Both had arranged to 60 to
Hill City with Mrs. Davis and be mar.
ried. Miss Wilhelm, who was working
for Harry Schmidt in Keystone, was the
last person who saw Shank alive.
When his body was found it was ly-
ing in the roadway near the Garfield
house and the creek, short distance
away lay an obsolete make of revolver
of 32 caliber. Suicide was first accepted
as the theory of the death of Shank, but
a reason for such an act was wanting.
The coroner's inquest developed the
fact that the fatal shot had been fired
from behind and that the weapon found
in the creek had not been used 1t was
out of commission from age.
Suspicion was directed towards Hard
esty at that time but he denied al
knowledge of the killing and proved ar
alibi supported by the testimony of his
wife. Circumstances before and aftel
the shooting, however, have developed
from the inquisition which lead the
county authorities to affirm that ther'
seems to be little doubt that Hardesty
killed Shank in Hot blood, because hi
oJect ed to his marriage to Miss viii
helm. The two are alleged to have haC
several quarrels oyer that and othe
matters and Hardesty is said to hav,
boasted that Shank would never MARI,

THE MUTUAL TELEpHoNE CO.

The Mutual Telephone Company of
Custer City has applied to the town
BOARD for franchise to construct, main
tain and operate telephone system in
the corporate limits of the town.
The Mutual Telephone Company is
the company at present furnishing tele-
phone service in Custer; and was or
ganized January 2lst, 1911, by the con-
solidation of all the rural lines entering
Custer. Prior to this time a service
had been given by the individual COM
panies but was very unsatisfactory to all
concerned owing to the different govern
ing rules of the different companies
None of these individual companies
were able to secure franchise from the
town board, and the town wiring was
done in haphazard way. With the
organization of the Mutual company,
the first step was the purchasing of a
lot and the erection of building to be
used exclusively for telephone purposes.
The installation of first class switch
board came next. The expense of all
this came to more than $1,000 which was
borne by the various companies, and as
all of these companies were operating at
cost to the subscriber, they in turn were
assessed to meet the additional cost OF
Custer Exchange. The wiring of these
individual companies was taken over by
the Mutual Company and remains in
much the same condition as it was with
allowance for depreciation. The Mutual
| Company attempted to assess the Rural
companies for an amount necessary to
pole and wire the town properly but
some of the companies objected to thit
until the Mutual company was chartered
by the state, and stock to the amount O.
the capitalization apportioned the yari
GUS companies. A franchise obtained
in the town, that the poles and wires o
this company might have legal exis
tence within the town limits. This is
reasonable business precaution, and il
view of the fact this company has acted
in good faith in the erection of its tele
phone Office. and intend to continue tn,
conduct of the telephone busines as il
the past, it would seem that there wa
no reason why franchise should no
be granted.
Better service has been demanded
and it is right that better service SHOULD
be given, and it is reasonable to expec
that better service will be given, ever
on a grounded line, when the wires arr
properly poled and strung. A metallic
service has been demanded. We woulc
GLADLY grant this class of service if th'
business warrants, but at present ther'
are but AZ phones used in the town a
against 725 in use in Rapid City, UsinI

BURKE AND BY RNE
HAVE MADE GOOD.

That Pierre dispatch was interesting
reading in the American Sunday morn
ing. 1t is said that the one-mill levy
made by the tax commission was prov
ing enough and to spare for all the state
expenses. This is what the commission
said would be the case. but enemies of
Governor Byrne declared that it would
not do.
Governor Byrne, who is candidate
on the republican ticket for reelection.
has made good. Other candidates upon
that ticket haye made good.
Congressman Burke, who is the can
didate of the party for promotion to
United States senator, has made good.
1t is quite typical thing of republican
candidates in this state. They have
made good in the npsts to which the
people have called item and SIS result
of the recent primary they have been
called forth to serve the public again.
In the case of Mr.. Burke he has not
only been given the appreciation of the
party for his duty well-done, but
he has been named for higher honors in
public life.
AS United States senator, for which
Mr.. Burke is the republican nominee,
and to which Office undoubtedly he will
be elected, he will carry to the duties of
that Office the characteristics which have
won him renowD. He is one of the
most valuable and hard-working MEM
bers of the present congress, where he
has served the state for fourteen years.
Because Mr.. Burke has always been
faithful to the little things as well as to
the most important, he has been re-
turned again and again by the voters of
the state. Now that there is an oppor-
tunity to advance him in the field of
national craftsmanship, there is even
greater unanimity of sentiment that he
should have it than has ever been CEN
tered upon his repeated reelection to
the house.
Burke, like Byrne, has made good and
the people are going to reward him.
And while they are rewarding these two
men who have made good they are
going to serve their best interests as a
state and elect the men who comprise
the entire republican ticket.-Aberdeen
American.
