Roosevelt and Fairbanks Tale.

However. in this connection there was
a queer story in circulation at the Capitol
today. 1t was that some of Mr.. Fair
banks friends are considering an alliance
with the colonel to revive the old ticket
Of 1904. which won-Roosevelt and Fair
banks.
II Indiana should swing to Roosevelt on
the second ballot it would. it is said. pre-
sent most critical turn in affairs. and
compel the anti-Roose, cit forces to some
quick thinking and quicker acting. 1t
was not asserted that Mr.. Fairbanks is
party to such a suggestion. and in some
quarters doubt was thrown upon the cor
rectness of the report
In TACT the best political Judgment at
the Capitol is that if Mr. Fairbanks we'll

ance Of second place t.iey would hitch
their chariot to the Hughes star now
recognized to be in the aScendency, rather
than risk tying to a possible Roosevelt

Unfortunate Incidents Possible.

II was impossible from headquarters
to exercise direct control of this sort of
fighting because the telegraph and tele-
phones We're out of commission and
nearly everything had to be left to the
troops on the spot. Possibly unfortu-
nate incidents. which we regret now
may have occurred. They We're in
evitable consequences of a rebellion of
this kind. which could not be sup
pressed by kid glove methods where
our troops were desperately opposed
and attacked Some of the allega-
tons certainly are false and probably
were made in order to establish a
claim for compensation from the gov
eminent.
Il have ordered a strict military in
quiry into all the allegations. officers
will visit all houses and Investigate
the circumstances impartially. The
battalions concerned will be paraded
in order that witnesses may have an
opportunity if they can of identifying
the officers or men responsible. Any
proved guilty will be properly pun

will be made public as soon as pos
sible.

Hughes Strength Recognized.

MIR. Loeb, in his talks with repub-
licans yesterday. recognized, it is said.
the present strength of the Hughes
sentiment, but continued nevertheless
to make arguments in behalf of the
colonel.
Some of the republican party lead
ers at the Capitol are of the opinion
that the activity in behalf of Col.
Roosevelt, while not containing the
likelihood of his nomination, has the
purpose and promises the effect of ac-
centuating his hold upon the conven-
ton and investing him with the power
of debating the nominee, and that was
what the Roosevelt boomers are really
after.
The situation thus being created has
one element of danger, as they view it,
which is that unless there is speedy
decision upon a candidate al Chicago
every successive roll call will hold the
menace of a break and a rush to RooSe-
veft.
Hard Problem for Field

grave responsibility upon the field
which is supposed to be intent upon
staving off Mr.. Justice Hughes nomina-
ton until the field starters can try

WaterWOrkS Talk.

At the meeting of the CONNER
cial Club held on Tuesday evening
a committee was named to go into
the records and ascertain what the
taxation rate would be in order to
raise bonded amount of SI4, 600. :
90 or SIS, 100000 to be used in Sc
curing a water system for Kadoka.
This is move in the right direc-
ton and we are indeed glad to see
the Commercial Club become inter-
ested, and believe that if they will
get behind the movement they can
do much for our town during the
coming year, for it is an admitted
fact that they accomplished more
for kadoka during the year past
than was ever accomplished be-
fore.

Hold Big Meeting

The knights of Columbus had a
great ceremonial at Aberdeen Sun
day at which 100 Knights were
taught the Fourth degree. From
the newspaper reports it is claimed
that the meeting was a tribute to
the United States, but perhaps the
most remarkable feature is the fol-
lowing tribute to Masonry as it is
reported in the News, which was
made at the banquet. Especially
is this true when non Catholics have
been taught to believe that the
Catholics hold masonary as being
one of the great evils of mankind.
This toast if correctly reported,
would indicate an expanding fra
ternalism on the part of the Knights
of Columbus:

siad: The Knights of Columbus
fraternity has been called the Ma
sonry of the Catholic church. Even
so, the compliment paid us is a
high one, for that organization
stands for what is most worthy in

country and a beautiful fraternal-
ism. II / was not a Catholic |

Has Empty Jail

The Pennington county, jail at
Rapid City has been empty since
the first part of December, the first
time in its history that it did not
contain a single prisoner for SO
long a tire. The last two inmates
were Lee Slower and Ernest Will
Jams, convicted of robbing stores
in Rapid City and now serving
time in the penitentiary in Sioux
Falls. These arrests were made
the first of last December.
A search of the records for years
past fails to reveal period of two
months any time when the jail was
deserted, according to the Rapid
City Journal. The cause for this
unusual condition of affairs is found
in the fact that Rapid City has
been dry since the first of last
July, and since the saloons were
closed the business of making
drunkards and the resultant crimes
has very greatly decreased. 1t is
said the streets are the most order
ly that they have ever been in the
history of this city, which was at
one time wild frontier town.
Sheriff Baken is puzzled to know
what to do with the empty Jail.
Some have suggested that it be
converted into a municipal welfare
building, where helpful and health
full recreation can be found and
where the community could come
together for a general meeting
place. 1t is expected that the good
results of Prohibition in Rapid
City will cause the city to remain
dry at the election to be held this
spring.

Can't Tax Indians.

In decision rendered in a case a
rising from Dewey county, Judge Ell.
loitt, of the United States court at,
Sioux Falls, holds that trust proper
ty of Indians is not subject to taxa
tion by the counties or states in which
it is located.
His decision is another victory for
the Office of the United States district
attorney of South Dakota, and follow
ed the action in the case of the
United States against John Pearson.
as treasurer, and Calvin M. Smith,
as sheriff. of Dewey county, this state
on an injunction and order to restrain
the collection of taxes against trust
property of the Indians on the Chy-
enne River Indian reservation.
The court determines that all of the
property assessed against the Indians
named in the bill of complaint was is
sue property or increase of issue prop
erty belonging to one of the classifi-
cations indorsed in the opinion, and
as such an instrumentality used by
the government of the United States
for the benefit of these Indian wards.
and not taxable for county or state
purposes,
Judge Elliott's decision, it is believed
will have far reaching effect through
out the counties in which Indian sre-
seryations are located, and will be-
come of importance as a precedent in
other western states.

Good Seed Corn
Means Millions

(By Grover c. Allen, Professor
OF Agriculture and Biology, State
Normal School, Springfield, s. d.
Carefully conducted termination
tests OF seed corn in the state OF
South Dakota this year will, if
properly conducted and ears of
weak vitality discarded, make an
increase of the corn produced that
will exceed a value of So, 900, 600
tor the 1916 crop. This statement
may sound phenomenal to the aver
age farmer and corn raiser, but it
is by no means and exaggerated
statement,
1t is matter of undisputed
knowledge that the termination
test alone, if properly conducted
and its results needed, increase the
yield of each acre of corn planted
from an IS per cent stand to an ap-
proximately perfect one, or increase
the yield from IS to IS bushels to
the acre.
The danger of poor seed corn be-
ing used this year is much greater
than usual, following the excessive
wet season of 1915. All corn ma
tured slowly. and much was crib
bed before it was ripe enough to
produce vital sprout. Very little
of the corn was firm and properly
matured, and great deal was so
wet when cribbed that it is almost
sure it has heated and no small
portion nodded even if it were ma
tlire enough when gathered. The
South Dakota farmer who gathered
his seed properly, if he has sur
plus of such seed, has a veritable
gold mine, as it is a lamentable
fact that a large percentage Of our
farmers winked at the extra labor
necessary in such selecting and
wintering of seed corn.
At first though the task of test
ing seed corn for South Dakota'S S
more than 2,ooo,o 900 acres seems
gigantic, but it is not so great
when it is remembered that the
work falls on the shoulders of
