It might not be amiss to remind some of our subscribers that this fall will be the proper timo to square up all arrears/ After the big crop is harvested this year South Dakota land values are expected to have a little aviation meet of their own. A man who has the courage of his political convictions can prove it nicely by sending a dollar to his fav orite campaign manager. Twenty-six counties have reserved 8pace for the county exhibit at the state fair. This indicates that the competition will be keen. G^ernor Wilson, it seems, wants lees organization and more work. And yet it is sometimes said that he is not a practical politician. •'*. The battleship Nebraska was badly disabled two weeks ago ns a result of running into a unchartered stioal four miles south of Point Judith light. Numerous property owners about the city have been doing things this summer with reference to improving the looks of things about their homes. Oklahoma claims that it will be fifth in cotton this year with a pro duction of 1,500,000 bales. The south west proposes to hold its place as a boom region.

This is the kind of thing that causes many American citizens to pause before pccenting a presi dential nomination. Even though the railroad compan ies have made a strenuous effort to get a good supply of grain cars on hand at all stations, there is predict ed a shortage.which will be felt about the first of October. Traveling horse traders have been quite numerous the pa«t few days. At least three different outfits have passed through the city during the week, and all have been well supplied with horses of all grades. Canada is naturally interested in the high price of American beef, and is trying to figure out how its stock raisers may profit by it. It would be much easier to do this if the reciproc ity agreement had carried. The Black Hills promises a good crop from the earth this year, and this added to the harvest of the bal ance of the state should again put South Dakota at the head of the states in wealth per capita.

Broom corn is going up also, away up. There is said to be soil capacity enough in the broom cern belt of Illi nois alone to furnish brooms for all the world, but soil capacity has no longer anything to do with a matter of this kind. Everything depends upon how sweetly the town and city are calling. The populist party also has a di vision in its ranks which is causing trouble for the leaders.

Ay res delivered a good ad dress at the auditorium on Thursday evening of last week. He is a candi date for the senate against R. P. Pet tigrew, the primary nominee of'the democratic party. Of course the probabilities are against either of them landing, but there are possibili ties. Ay res opened his campaign in this city, taking an advanced stand on matters politically, declaring that if Bent to the senate he would work for the primary for all nominations, direct election of president and sena tors, the recall of all officials, regard less of the places they may hold. He will also advocate government owner ship and management of public utili ties, and includes in this the coal mines and power sites of the country. He says he does not care what brand they attempt to put upon his plat form, as it is principles and not names which are the issues of today. He denounced both Taft and Roosevelt and declares that the Roosevelt party for the first time in the history of the country, is offered to the people "organized litre a piratical corpora tion, subsidized before its birth and born with a trust nursing bottle in its mouth." He denounces the Taft tariff program as a fake, and declares the whole tariff system to be merely graft. Outside of his matters of national policy, he declares that the state should cut out the constitution al prohibition against internal im provements, and then should take up the development of its lignite coal beds, its natural gas fields, its natural power sights and open the way to state aid for good road building. OPINION COMING SOON Appeal to the supreme court iu matters political is being promised by both the Republicans and the demo crats these days, and the only point of delay appears to be that neither is quite ready to take the necessary steps along that line. The republicans at their meeting at Huron, or that part'of the party which is not jrf harmony with existing con ditions, at its meeting, app6inted a committee to carry the matter of getting Roosevelt electors off the Republican ticket by some legal steps. The Democrats failed to make out a complete ticket to submit to the electors at the June primary, and it is reported that they will come before the court in an attempt to secure a ruling which will allow their central committee to "fill vacancies" and their ticket, where no, vacancy has occurred. With past rulings of the court on such matters the indications are that neither of these propositions will get very far, and in fact, when pinned dawn, the promoters of neith er of these moves really expect that they will have much of a showing. But each party is at a point where they feel that they must do some thing, and that something appears to them to be an appeal to the court re gardless of past holdings, and by this manner establish a legal standing of their rights. VESSEY GRANTS A PARDON Governor Vessey has granted a par don to Charles Runkle, sent from Huges county on a charge of horse rustling. Runkle is one of the boys from Casstown, O., who attempted to start careers as bad men here by steal ing two horses and looting farm buil d intrs north of the city. Uunkle appear ed to have been led into the venture, and has been pardoned after serving several months of his sentence. Jfi THE WHEAT CROP Springfield Republican: The north west is a little indignant over the ef forts of the speculators to exaggerate the wheat outlook for the sake of bearing the market, but is not dis posed to deny that it will be a good crop a very good crop indeed. The factors counted upon to stiffen the price area slight falling off in Eur ope, where a crop only 90 per cent that of last year is looked for, a fail ure in Canada to increase last year's record, an&a not specially favorable prospect for the southern hemisphere. In the United States the corn crop may be above the average but in Europe oiats and barley ^re below the standard. 8o the farmers are look ing for a fair price, even if the wheat crop of tlM) United States shonlc reach the totaj of over 70,000,000 which the jipeeulators have been pre dicting, ai oulythre# eooatsy* wtaleh has been reaebed in the history of the ims and lauk-.v lip TRIBUTE TO HIS MOTHER Gov. Thomas R. Marshall, of In diana: I think back through the years, the lean and the fat, the good and the bad ones, to my earliest recollection. I see a woman with an eye that flashes swift as an' archan gel's wing and a. mouth that breaks with laughter and hardens at sight of wrong, singing lullabies a woman who, with hand grasping the unseen hand, walks the brier bordered paths of the life unashamed, unafraid, un harmed. She is clad in garments of beauty for me and age does not soil them, nor years make them oheap and tawdry. Her tongue is without guile, having never been the messenger of lie. It is seventeen years since her soul went home to God and her fing ers became for me the fingers of an angel, but I have qot forgotten all she said. She told me' there was a Santa Claus, and I believe her. He brings me no longer drums and fifes. But he still brings to me the vision of my mother and the music of that angelic chorus which sang at crea tion's dawn and at the hour of man's redemption. TAKING HIS TIME Huron Huronite: Senator Pettigrew interviewed at Spokane, said that he had not yet definitely decided whether or not he would enter the race in South Dakbta for the senatorial place. He said also that he was undecided what part he would take, if any, in the national contest. It was this belief that the time had arrived for the for mation of a new party. Evidently he does not feel that Roosevelt is the ideal man to lead the movement. Mr. Petti grew was on his way from his irrigation project near Spokane to South Dakota, and he will probably be heard from at home ere long. ONE WILL SWALLOW THE OTHER Baltimore Sun: The history of third parties does not encourage the belief that both the republican organization and the Roosevelt organization can long survive the November election. One of them will be swallowed up by the other. Which will do the swallowing will depend mainly upon the result in November. FIRST THEET OF AN AEROPLANE Ths first case of stealing an aero plane occurred not long ago at the Puchem aeredrome at Munich. When the pilot, Belat, arrived in the morn ing he found that some one had brok en into his hangar and that the mono plane was missing. On inquiry be found that several persons in the neighborhood had bear4 the noise of a motor about 2 o'clock in the morn ing. Apparently some enterprising pilot had flown away with the ma chine. In the suburbs of Munich policemen wer? kept busy scanning the horizon in search of the flyer. Up to the present writing the machine had not been recovered. FLOOD OF PROSPERITY The tremendous flood of prosperity which has struck South Dakota with the harvesting of the great crop of 1012 has begun to show up in the in creased sales of automobiles. During the month of July &71 autos were registered here and for the first five days in August 101 were registered Figured at $1200 each, the auto sales in the state for July and the first five davs in August would amount to 988,000. There arc now 18,977 autss registered in South Dakota. The sales during this month will no doubt break all records for auto sales in this state. ELECTING SENATORS Secretary of State Knox has. for warded to the governors of all the states certified copies of the congres sional resolution providing the states with an opportunity to vote on the proposed amendment to the constitu tion authorizing direct election of senators. The governors of the states are requested to bring the matter to the attention of the state legislatures for action. When the state depart ment receives notice of ratification by three-fourths of the total number of states the amendment will be promul gated by the secretary of state, and will from thenceforward be apart of the constitution of the United States.'

PER CAPITA WEALTH Sixty years ago the per capitaiwealthc. in the United States was $807 today it is near 81,800, an increase of about 800 per cent. While the per capita wealth has greatly increased, the distribution, of it has been most unequal. Sixty years ago we had few millionaires and few paupers today we have too /nany of toth, and both are still largely the increase.
