CITY ELECTIONS LAST WEEK

City elections were held all over
the state last week, and there was
not excitement enough to make
decent article about it for our
readers. A dozen years ago, we
would have had at least a column
telling which towns went dry and
which ones voted wet. There
would have been iniunctions, man
damus suits, writs of prohibition,
and other court proceedings grow
ing out Of a city election in those
days to make excitement and good
reading matter for the newspapers
for a month. But all that has pas
sed. There is no deviltry about a
city election any more.
Here in Philip about dozen
votes were cast. There were no
contests. O. K Whitney and A. S.
Anderson were reelected as mem
bers of the city council, and Ed
Hendricks yas elected in the place
OF +. E. Pohle, who was not can
didate again.
Over the state there was as a
General rule no more excitment
Even Rapid City has quieted down
and elected three members of its
council without opposition. At
Sioux Falls there was the one red
hot election of the state, and feel
ing ran to the point attained in the
old days. There was an attempt
to recall Mayor George Burnside,
but he was reelected by majority
of nearly seven hundred votes.
Senator George Danforth was pub
licly slapped by an irate female
supporter of Mayor Burnside, and
there was a free-for-all fight at
the auditorium the night before
election. Then there was fighting
of real Irish quality, in the street
later on in the evening. Taken all
in all Sioux Falls had real cleo
ton.

WEST OF THE RIVER RATE
CASE HEARD LAST WEEK

The Interstate Commerce Com
ission had representatives at Sioux
Falls last week hearing the case
involving the subject of freight
rates from outside points to towns
IN Western South Dakota. The
railroads, the commission, and the
state were al represented, and sew
crd days were consumed. This
is a most important matter to resi-
dents of Haakon county, because
there is at last just a glimmer of
some relief from the rates we have
been paying. Recently the COM
mission held hearing on the rates
in effect east of river, and the
decision resulted in lowering the
rate on many commodities, the
rate on soft eca!, for example, ne
ing lowered 81 so to Pierre, and
hard coal 81 IS. There seems to
Us no reason why the rate to Phi
In and other points in this local
lty should not also be lowered in
spite Of the contention of the
railroads that exceptional condi-
tons exist in this region that will
1ot permit lowering Of freight
rates.
This case will have a very i'm
Rortant bearing upon the future
.of the state. If decided in favor of
the tomplainants, the state rail
way commission, the rates for all
points west of the river will be
lowered. That is, for interstate
shipments from Omaha, Minnea-
noIis and st. Paul, or other cities
outside the state. 1t is the pioneer
case on west-river rates to be tried
IN this state, involving interstate
traffic for the entire section.
The case originated when the
state railway comission, represent
ing the people, filed a complaint
against the railroads operating in
that territory. The railroads fight
in the proposed decrease in rates
are the Chicago and Northwestern
Chicago Burlington and Quincy,
and the Chicago Milwaukee and st.
Paul.

CROP PRODUCTION FIGURES

a grain producing county than is
commonly supposed. This even
though our chief industry is grow

when it was believed that the
country was not fit for anything
else.

culture at Washington covering

counties, and also covering the
past season. We are very glad to

AT STURGIS

Rev. V. A. Woodworth and Har-
cid Schimke were representatives
from the local Philip church to
the meeting Of the Black Hills
Presbytery at Sturgis last week.
Mr. Schimke gave an interesting
account of the meeting to the local
congregation Sunday morning.
Mr.. Woodworth was honored by
being selected as moderator at all
the meetings of the session. Both
he and Mr.. Schimke are on the
building committee of the Pres
bytery for the coming year, and
this fact may help out some of
the plans of the local church.
Some facts of interest come
home to us from this meeting. No
Presbyterian Church west of the
river has grown as rapidly as the
Philip church Turing the past
year, no other church has such
good prospects for the future. On
~ two Presbyterian churches of
Western South Dakota have lar
ger membership than the Philip
church, and its Sunday School is
today the largest of all in that
territory. Certainly the local
church has every reason to be
proud of its progress and prosperi-
ty.

brought in a verdict of simple as

as much as he had plead guilty to
assault and battery many months
ago and paid a fine, no additional
penalty was imposed

have not been finally discharged.

The Bear Butte Well near Stur-
gis has developed into q gusher
flowing over thirty thousand ga
Ions per day-of water. These oil
prospectors have developed one of
the most active artensian wells in
the state, and at no great depth.
The flow is so great that many
people are speculating as to wheth-
er the artesian basin might not be
successfully tapped in that region
for irrigating purposes. The drill
ing goes on, as oil is expected at
greater depth, hat for the pre-

we'll where the oil was discovered
is located right at the edge IF
town and was the result of efforcs
being made by the party owning

Two suits, each asking 5000 dam

September, 1912 were filed in Federal
Court late yesterday. The complaints in

FeiIer and wajciechowsh are aliens,
their legal residence being in what IL
known as the Polish republic. Because
there is international disagreement as
to whether the territory embraced by this
Government really comprises the Polish
republic, Feilers complaint sets out in

Similarly Wajciechowsk is given resi-

the plaintiffs were shot and severely
wounded by the guard and policemen in
an encounter at Columbia and Highltnd

Unemployed Put on Block,
None Bid for Their Services
Boston Welfare Worker Tries Experiment to
Bring Home Stories of Human Misery.

BOSTON, Mass. Sept. 9.-Jobless men
were placed on the auction block on
Boston Common yesterday afternoon.
Stripped to the waist. after the custom
of the old slave auctions. they declared
their willingness to work by standing
before a crowd of thousands. offering
their services to the highest bidder.
"Shorn lambs of unemployment" Ur-
balm Ledoux, their auctioneer, callel
them. Ledoux, a philanthropic worker,
who recently opened the Church of the
Unemployed in the west end, led
group of fifty to the common to bring
home, he said. to the people Of Boston
their stories of human misery, just ~
William Lloyd Garrison pleaded for the
slaves on the same spot seventy years
ago.
1t was to prove that his charges were
not parasitic 6oaters but, instead, good
citizens out of a Job, that he put
number of them on the block, he ex-
planned.
Ledoux's efforts to obtain work fo-
his men were not rewarded. OF the three
who stood up for bids none went away
to a Job, although from the crowd came
pledges of help to tide them over
week or two while they sought employ
ment.
Their leader said, however, that he
considered he had succeeded in bringing
their plight and the honesty of their
purpose to public attention, and he au-
nounced that the auction was to be
daily event, to be continued at least for
the remainder of the month.

NAVY YARD MEN
WANT HARDING
TO CANCEL CUT
Appeal From Decision of
Secretary, Who Reduced
Wages ID Per Cent.

Special 10 Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-President
Harding viii be appealed to by the Navy
yard workers of the country to set aside
the reduction in wages averaging Il per
cent which was announced Thursday by
Edwin DENLY, Secretary Of the Navy.
Washington representatives of the Navy
yard workers charged that the reduction
was unwarranted by the arguments OF
the wage board itself and said the work
ers would have hard time getting along
on the reduced pay.
I'VE will have to protest against the
report of the wage board and the re-
duction ordered by the secretary" said
NJ. p Alias, president of the Forty
fourth district of the International As
ISOLATION of Machinists. "as neither one
recognizes the cost OF living at this
time. AS compared with wages and the
cost Of living in 1913, Navy yard ma
chinists are entitled to 80 cents an hour
at this time"
Robert II. Alcorn, national president
of the American Association Of Super
visory Employees of Navy Yards, con-
demned the reduction.
THE employees are very much disap-
pointed and displeased at the action OF
the board IN ordering Sucn a large ue-
crease in wages he said. land many Of
them will have Il hard time making both
ends meet If the reduced wage scale goes
into effect, Sept. 49,"
The action of ths board In reducing the
clerical workers below the scale for I'M
skilled laborers was attacked by Luz
Their c. Steward, president of the National
Federation of Federal Employees.
THE most startling and apparently the
least applicable Of the divisions Of the
award" he said lis that by which the
clerical employees of long experience are
forced down to a scale which the board
itself does not believe to be decent for the
Government to pay. Although skilled
mechanics receive e cents en- hour more
than unskilled laborers, skilled clerical
workers actually receive less.
This language IS clear and yet in spite
of its wages for clerical employees are
fixed at $500 a day as against 1928 for
unskilled laborers. Certainly the clerical
workers both upon the grounds Of service
rendered and Of necessity are entitled to
equal consideration with other skilled
workers. Even assuming that decreases
were necessary, 1t is apparent the clerical
worker has been seriously Disseminated
against even as compared with other
classes. As a mltter Of fact there was
no justification for any decrease, taking
the boards own figures. '-Copyrigh
