day regarding the cause of the indus
trial and commercial depression and
reiterated by him yesterday. This
high-minded diagnostician AYERS and
reiterates his firm conviction that the
pre-present industrial and commercial
depression is merely psychological and
AYERS an all pervading, all-permeating
and all-satisfying prosperity upon ev-
cry hand
Thus, the man who never met a
payroll" who never directed a depart
ment head or chief executive any
branch of business from a department
store to steel works, cleverly, almost
flippantly, throws aside every bit of
knowledge which he might possess re-
garding present conditions and hanks
back to the voices of the political fol-
lowers surrounding him.
Last Thursday petitions were pre-
sented him by representative employ
ers from 33,167 shops and mills which
give employment to 1854 900 workmen
and represent an investment of $751;
100000. Those petitions point out that
because of the Wilsonian five broth
ers" threat, business is hesitating,"
that hundreds of thousands of work
men are standing idle, and all because
of the undigested legislation which the
president and his followers already
have placed upon the nations statute
books, and worse than all, are prepar
ing to continue doing so with faces of
flint.
In face Of all this the president sets
himself in opposition to the plain. sob
er expression of these 1,0S4.000 work
ingmen and declares they are all
wrong.
He alone Is right.
The cocksureness of his judgment is
equalled only by the fuidity of his
mellifiuent phrases at the making of
which he has few equals.
Fine feathers make fine birds"
But fine phrases do not always ex-
press sound business judgment.
Bent upon working his will upon
American industrial and commercial
life. the president as a diagnostician
has failed to grasp the psychology" of
himself in relation to election day next
November. Facts are stubborn things,
votes are concrete things and the iron
and steel business is a hard-headed,
matter of fact thing into which psy
ehology enters little.

Candidate Thompson, at the pro-

Gentlemen
We beg to call your attention to
the fact that at the present time you
can buy IMPORTED GIRDER rails
cheaper and get them quicker than
DOMESTIC.
During the last few months we have
imported large quantities of steel
rails, etc, at very low prices, and
have gotten them here within a very
short time after receipt of order
AS far as the quality is concerned.
the material which we offer is first
class in every respect, and subject to
inspection before shipment.
We have rolls for several standard
patterns used in this country, and
can, also, If the quantity warrants,
make rolls for any pattern which you
may choose.
We would be glad to take this mat
ter up with you, and make you prices,
and trusting to hear from you, we re-
main,
Yours very truly.

The above letter does not explain g
matter directly vital to the New Eng
land states, but it shows our people
why men are out of jobs in some Of
our American industries. When we
can buy foreign products cheaper thar
they can be made or raised at home
then some of our home laborers are
out of work.

the article does the Journal ,criticise
Auditor Callahan. We are, however,
too well acquainted with the methods

the fact that the Lewiston Journal was

explanation of it's motives than those

clare, and we desired to strip the mask

is possible that Mileswill. in the

the settlement steadily growing in

the western portion feels that Fort
Pierre isn't q good place for county
seat so far as they are concerned.
The 1911 statutes provide for a
preliminary contest. with the two
towns securing the highest number
of votes to enter the fall election,
and the, one then receiving a
majority is the permanent county
seat.

The plan has turned out to be
such financial plum, that other

adopting it. De Smet, s. D., will
probably put the proposition up to

Why: Well, usually the price
cutter has found himself unable to
get trade by legitimate means and
adopts the price-cutting plan as a
last resort in staving off the sheriff !.
Yes, sir, he can't get business at
the regular prices; something is
the matter with his store; either
location, lack of publicity, dingy
store front, or because he does not
treat his trade well. Usually you
will find the price cutter is the fel
low who acts as though he does
not care whether his trade comes
back or not. In most cases you
will find that he has no regular
customers; just buyers 60 into his
store; his store lacks friends. get

HanSen'S Alfalfa
Seed In Demand

Orders for five dollar packages
of hardy alfalfa seed are coming g
daily TO James w. Wilson of
BroOkings, director of the expert
ment station. Professor Wilson
states that South Dakota farmers
who want this seed should mail
their orders to him at an early
date. The charge fixed by the
Board Of Regents is So, per pound,
for 1850 ounds, only one pound
to go to each farmer. Farmers
have first choice. After this demand
ceases, remainging seed will be
sold to seedmen and to outside
buyers. Professor Wilson will
test all seed before shipment.
This is an excellent chance fer
live agriculturists to begin alfalfa
growing on high and dry uplands.
There is great demand for this
seed by leading farmers in other
states who are engaged in farming
