PARDON is ASKED FOR
DANTE SALOON KEEPER

Wheeler, S. D.-A petition is be-
ing circulated throughout Charles
Mix county asking for the pardon Of
S. b: Perrin, formerly a saloon keeper
at Dante, who was convicted in the
United States court on the charge of
selling liquor in prohibited territory.
The land where Dante is situated
formerly was embraced in the Yank-
ton Indian reservation. The treaty
opening the land to white settlement
contained a clause prohibiting the
sale of liquor on any of the ceded
land for a period of years.
Perrin believed this provision was
unconstitutional and appealed his
case, in order to make a test, to the
United States supreme court, which
recently upheld the legality of the
provision. 1t is said the petition ask
ing for PERKINS, pardon is being sign
ed by hundreds of Charles Mix county
people, and in due time it will be
presented to President Wilson.

CRAWFORD is STILL
SILENT UPON PRIMARY

Washington, d.. C.-Statements
sent to South Dakota newspapers pur-
porting to come from Washington
and to speak for Senator Crawford
regarding his attitude toward the re-
publican ticket recently nominated,
are made without any authority what
ever from the Senator himself.
He has made no statement since
the primaries except to say that he
desired to examine the official re-
turns in detail before making any
statement whatever. After he has
looked over the official returns, he
may make a statement, but until then
no one is authorized to speak for
him. He made a statement of his po-
sition before the primary and all sub
sequent statements p%urporting to
come from him are absolutely unau-
thorized. No statement regarding this
matter should be accepted as author
lied by Senator Crawford which does
not bear his signature.

STERLING o
REPEAL BILL
DECLARES IN LETTER HE Has
ALWAYS BEEN OPPOSED TO
EXEMPTION OF CANAL
TOLLS.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Unitod States
Senator Thomas Sterling is for repeal
of the clause in the Panama canal
bill exempting American coastwise
shipping from tolls.
Commenting upon a poll of the
United States Senate printed by a
Chicago newspaper, in which Senator
Sterling was represented as for free
tolls and Senator Crawford as for re-
peal, The Sioux Falls Press editorial
ly discussed the position of the South
Dakota delegation as revealed by the
vote in the House, which recorded
Congressman Dillon and Burke as for
free tolls, and as indicated by the
purported investigation of the atti-
tude of senators by the Chicago pap
er's Washington correspondent.
The publisher of the Press receiv-
ed yesterday the following letter from
Senator Sterling announcing his posi-
ton and declaring the Chicago paper
to be wrong in it's guess:
Il see in your editorial of April 2,
under the heading: The Delegation
and Tolls, in referring to a poll OF
the Chicago Tribune on this subject,
that | am designated as against the
repeal of the tolls exemption clause
of the Panama canal act.
THE Tribune is quite in error in
thus listing me. have always been
and am now for the repeal of the eX-
emption clause. l do not know how
the impression got abroad that
stood otherwise than for such repeal,
l enclose you a clipping from the
morning Washington Herald, which
gives the position of several senators,
and among them my own. | may have
something to say on the subject be-
fore the debate closes. The Sims bill,
which passed the House, is not yet
before the Senate, but a few speeches
have been made and some three OF
four are already scheduled in advance
of the report of the committee on the
bill"

tors of a school district. a school may
be abolished, and the pupils be sup
piled with education advantages by
the districts paying tuition and en-
penses of transportation to an adjoin-
