A "Tariff Commission" Will Be Asked .For.—Other Features.— View's of An Arkansas Con gressman, St. Louis Republic's Forecast. President Roosevelt has already done considerable work on his an nual message to be sent to congress when that body assembles next De cember. It will'be his second mes sage to that body and it will probably be far more important than his first, both to the country and to him. In his firit message he did not go much beyond recommending the car rying out of many important things that had been sanctioned by his pre decessor. In his coming message President Roosevelt will duscuss a number of questions that require recommendations original with him and bearing upon his future and upon the future of his party. Fore* most in importance of these will be the tariff and trust questions. The President's main recommen dation' as to dealing with the tariff will, it is understood, be for the establishment of a permanent tariff commission, as far as possible, a nonpartisan, unprejudiced body, that will at once take up consid eration of all facts connected with the tariff with a view to wise recotn inendation to congress for changes here and there. The President will not take a radical attiude as to the adjustments4he tariff. He will fa vor tariff changes, but will say that congress, without the assistance of a trained body like a commission, cannot take up with wisdom and justice the changes that are needed and must be made- The president will point out that Congress is sur rounded in the readjustment of tariff schedules by influences for or against such changes that greatly hinder that untrammeled eonsider Sation which Congress itself would prefer to give. By j^ceiving facts :aod figures from an expert body, however, Congress would be in po sition to act without a number of long hearings. DEALING WITH THE TRUSTS. On the.trust question the Presi dent will follow the line of his re cent speeches to a considerrble ex tent. He will recommend that safe and judicious legislation be attempt ed by Congress for the regulation and control of trusts, but will like wise take the position that pending the enactment of laws that may be of assistance, consideration may be gone into of the question of a con stitutional amendment giving thor oughFederal control of these migh ty. institutions. The president be rlieveB that the Government- should gosslowly in a matter of such vital concern as this, but holds that with i!lP$ furious and earnest thought a way ft .will be found that will meet all improper requirements and not inter fere with- the smooth running of financial affairs throughout. 4 ^buntryP It is understood that Attorney i§ General Knoxsis engaged in the pre paration of a measure that will go before Congress,« supplementing S ~«laws in existence for the control of ^'^the trusts^ and, that the President Vmay make a ipeciflc reccommend for the enactment of this law, nP^CIkking!- the position- that it is a good ^^i'-itigal step and within the limits of .'f-.the constitution'. "With other things in connection S^^B^ith remedial legislation for the y^£:j*nfi\£L danger, the President will 3f^^' ag£l^recommend publicity of the -Stt"-''-! the Jbusinesa of all 'Corporations. He -. *t" holds, and has held tor years, that v-i'.r^he. trusts are a soypgdVo£' evil SvU. ^roagh'thi^ivabilitj.tsts^er their I •fT -^for Piles,. business of the country. In. store. %t piacU their ability to carry on dangerous work without the geqera) public be ing apprised of the conditions sur rounding them, the President holds that they are hurtful to the general welfare. The President takes the position that to show the difference between sound business enterprises and those more or less open to sus picion, the Government ought to have the right to inspect and ex amine the workings of the corpor ation engaged in interstate com merce. Publicity will reveal the facts so that what further remedies are needed may be determined. Without these facts the trusts may force legislation that will bring trouble upon those not needing pun ishment as well as tho3e that do need correction and supervision. The coal strike will be discussed in the message, but the President will withhold his writing of that portion until the last, in view of a possible report early in December by the commission that is going to take up the question. Should the commission not be ready to report by that time, the President will reserve any pointed discussion of labor and capital questions until the report has been received. He could then transmit this report to con gress in a special message accom panied by. his own recommendations. CUBAN RECIPROCITY. The President will push his ideas on reciprocity with Cuba and will insist that no further time be lost in carrying out an understanding with the little republic. Statehood for the territories will be urged by the President. In fact, the friends of statehood secured the assistance of the president pt the close of the last session and obtain ed from certain senators assurance that the statehood bills would re ceive full consideration. •. ConH!li6ns~4JnM"the Philippines. Porto Rico and Hawaii will make a chapter in the message, with notes on the progress toward good gov ernment and peace. The President will not make any specific recommendation in relation 'to the Panama canal, but will treat of the proposed route and the prog ress made toward securing a clear title thereto. The President will again discuss the need of abundant protection to the great forests of the country. He will also renew his recommen dations for legislation that will not recognize the Indian as an individual and not as a member of a tribe. The President holds that the tribal relations should be broken up, and funds be divided and the lands and moneys of the Indians allotted to them individually, so that they may have an opportunity of proving whether they are making any prog ress as citizens TARIFF COMMISSION WON'T WORK. Washington, Oat. 29.—"Tne peo ple of the country are demanding a revision of the tariff," remarked Congressman, Brundidge of Arkan sas, who is in the city, "and they'll not -accept any tariff commission appointed by the president as an answer to their demand.. Accord ing to the newspapers, the presi dent will ask congress to let a com mission oi tariff experts settle the question, and it may be that the re publicans in the House and Senate will be willing to shi't the responsi bility and turn the subject over to a commission. "But," added Judge Brundidge, "•the scheme will not work. The people were fooled once by a "tariff commission," and they will not be fooled a feecond timel/s^ Congress never paid the slightest attention to the commission's recommenda tions. The discussion of the tariff cannot be delayed much longer, no matter how much the trusts and the administration try to 'sidetrack it.

An Old Veteran Turns Down the Bosses.—A Few Cheap Cam paign Lies Launched by the Re publicans Against Tittle.. "The fight in this county has got ten down to the basis of booze and a five-dollar bill, especially on the treasurership," remarked a promi nent citizen to THE UNION Wednes day morning, and it certainly looks like it. A certain 'patriotic' representa tive of the local republican clique approached an old and decrepit G. A. R. veteran, who had openly stat ed his intention to support Chas. P. Tittle for county treasurer, and of fered him five dollars if he would 'get in line' and support the repub lican candidate. Although himself a loyal republican, the old veteran spurned the proffered bribe with the remark that he would still support Mr. Tittle if the republican manag ers made the offer a thousand dol lars. He was not for sale, nor could they brow-beat the Old fellow into line. There are others like him throughout the county. One or two republican campaign lies have showed up, aimed at Mr. Tittle, but his standing as a man and his record as an official are too clean to be injured by any such methods. Yet the whole republican clique seems to be sacrificing every* thing on the ticket in an effort to defeat Mr. Tittle. They ean't do it! .Farmers and Ranchmen, Our stock of staple and fancy gro ceries is the freshest and most com plete in Rapid City.

Hale, *ne ol the best known cattlemen in western South Dakota, is a candidate for repi esontatlve oyer in Meade county on the democratic tick et. If elected, Mr. Hale proposes to push the adoption in this state of the excellent inspection law now in force in Wyoming. Amcng other things, this law provides that no ship ment of stock can be made without in spection by the sheriff of the county and on a clearance issued by him, and on the first of each month a complete list of the brands borne by stock shipp ed during the preceding month are published. This method has practically put an end to stock stealing wherever it is in force and would be a good thing for South Dakota. If Meade county stock men want this law, let them vote for J. D. Hale for representative next Tuesday. They can't vote for abetter man. that's sure. tioeB Like Hot Cak«g. "The fastest selling article I have in my store," writes druggist O. T.
