FEBRUARY 6, 1913 D. Alfalfa experts claim that the west of the river country will some day produce the bulk of the world's alfal fa seed. .j J' The Mexican mess grows' more un savory and Mr. Wilson may find a problem on his hands that will tem porarily eclipse the tariff. Judging by the number of Wilsons who are out after jobs the rest of us ought to be glad that a man named Jones wasn't elected president. The penitentiary investigating com mittee has returned from its trip to that institution and will shape up its report within a few days for presenta tion to two the houses of the legisla ture. In order to equalize the distance between Chamberlain and Rapid City into two divisions, the Milwaukee of ficials are contemplating the removal of the round house railroad shops from Murdo to Kadoka. One month more for President Taft. From the number of appoint ment being hurried to the senate, it looks as if the president was trying to avoid the rush during the last few days of his administration. The doctors and scientists are all the time telling us what to eat but a great part of the population is tired of weighing the arguments for what it shall or shall not eat, and has come to the conclusion that whatever ap peals to be digested is good enough. The legislature is asked to pass a bill forbidding the giving away of trading stamps and similar premiums by mer chants. Such a bill would be a good thing for a man who wants to do busi ness on the merits of his goods and the consumer might profit thereby. So far as disclosed the only member of the new senate who will own up to. the third party designation is Poin dexter, of Washington. Dixon, of Montana, would be glad to share the honor with Neighbor Poindexter, but alas! Dixon will not be there. Governor Wilson is believed to be keeping his ear close to the ground and endeavor to profit thereby. The theory period relative to the presi dent-elect is nearing an end. Soon he will be seen where he will be oblig ed to show the practical side of bis make-up. The democrats now have a majority of two in the next United States sen ate, with Illinois still to be heard from. With control of both branches of tongress and the white house, there is nothing to stop the democrats from putting into effect any policy they may favor. St. Paul Dispatch: The heavily republican legislature of Oregon has elected Harry Lane, a democrat, to the United States senate. Lane won out in the vote by the people, and the legislature confirmed the vote. This comes pretty near being an election by the popular vote. When the peo ple order the legislators must obey. The estimate IOSB from the damage done the California orange and lemon crops by the frost is estimated at $34, 000,000. And of this loss, we are told from California that $19,109,380 will sustained by the growers $4,792,000 by the shippers and $9765,000 by the railroads. If these figures are true, they show that the shippers and rail, roads get almost as much out of the California fruit crop as the growers do. The state will offer several million feet of matured timber for sale on its reserves in the Black Hills on the 18th of thia month and from the num erous inquiries coming to the state land department it appears that tqere will be several bidders for the timber on thia tract, which will be sold un der regulations in regard to cutting only such trees as are marked for that purpose, and the proper care of brush and cuttings to protect the standing timber from damages by /ores? fires. By a unanimous rote the legisla ture of Wsst Virginia has ratified the income tax amendment to the consti tution of the United States. When one more state ratifies the amend ment, it becomes a part of the con stitution. and this is expected to be accomplished within the next month. Thus when the new administration takes bold, the foundation will te promptly forthwMBlm ,. ,||| SSL: ECLIPSES IN 1913 The 1918 almanac contains the im portant information that there will be five eclipses during the year. The aun wilt be darkened three times and moon twice. The first of these phenomena will occur on March 22, at which time there will be a total ecUpeeof the moon, visible all over North America. On April 5 there will be partial eclipse of the sun, which Will be visible only in the northwestern part of North America. On August 31 there will be a partial eclipse4l the sun, visible only in Greenland and eastern Canada. On Sept. 15 there will be a total eclipse of the moon, visible all over North America except in the northwestern portion," There will be a partial eclipse 'i)f the sun on September SO, but it will not be visible in any part of North America. DEMOCRACY IN BLOOM Springfield, 111., Feb. 8.— Judge Ed ward F. Dunne, of Chicago, was at noon today inaugurated as governor of Illinois, succeeding Governor Chas. Deneen, and for the first time in twenty years the democracy came into power in Illinois. INSINCERITY. Denver Republican: It having been definitely settled that anybody who wants to can send a baby by parcel post, it now develops that nobody wantB to. In which respect it re minds us very much of others of these later dav demands being made upon the government. There are a great many things in this world which we think we want until we get them VETERANS TO CELEBRATE Gettysburg veterans planning to at tend the fiftieth anniversary celebra tion rf that,big battle to be held on the owl battle ground at Gettysburg, Pa., July 1 to 5, will have the oppor tunity of attending either the G. A. national convention or the national convention of confederate veterans. This news was received in a letter from N. H. Kingman of Selby, state chairman of the Gettysburg commis sion for this state, who is at present spending the winter in Florida, but took occassion to attend the general meeting of the fiiftieth anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg commis sion held a short time ago in the east. .... Gov. Marshall, not being so very rich, plans to live at a hotel during his term of service aB vice president. Rich vice presidents have contributed liberally to campaign expenses and the social life of official Washington The pay of the eice president, $12,000 a year, is barely sufficient to enable him to live at a Washington hotel. THE SIX-YEAR TERM PROPOSAL Louisville Courier-Journal: It is unfortunate that the question of constitutional amendment limiting the presidency to one term should be affected by the ambitions of Theodore Roosevelt. Considered solely on its merits, there is no doubt that a pro position for a single six-year term would be successful but with the bull moosers refusing to consider it except in its relation to the desires of their leader we shall probably have to await a more propitious season for the effectuation of this much needed reform reiorw. ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD The annual state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Woman's Relief Corps will be held in Aberdeen June 3, 4 and 5 The official announcement of this was received Tuesday from Phil Lawrence, chairman of the council of administration, Mrs. S. Nevada Hereford, department president of the W. R. Cfev CONSERVATION From the tone of the utterances of the President-elect, the new adminis tration will be vety strong for conser vation. This principle is one which the American people have adopted, and is not any too soon. As to details there will be differences for some time ta come, but on the broad proposition that it is wise—more. necessary—to make proper use of thoae resources which pe culiarly belong toi the whole people there will hardly ba any dissent. Those who are fortunate enough to be able to viait the 8in Diego Exposi tion in 1915 will fet an idea of what con •ervation means as especial attention will be Bliil lliii tiftitiuhitcL THE CONSERVATION CONGRESS Huron Huronite: The state con servation congress held at Pierre is mentioned as having been an unusal ly harmonious and successful con ference of earnest men. The resolu tions finally adopted covered a com prehensive scope and aim directly at achievements in the interest of South Dakota at large and of all its citizenB. They urge the legislature to appro priate liberally to the scientific edu cation of farm workers and spend less money on the little standing army of the state. The call for centralized rural schools, devoted sufficiently to agri cultural education, and the early con solidation, of the state educational istuttions. They ask that counties be authoriz ed to expend money for thejpromotion of agricultural and domestic science. Conservation of such resources as soil coal, mineral, timber land, water power and artesian supply was urged in the resolutions and good highways received the attention their import ance demands. The congress adviBed the employ ment of convicts on the roads of the state, though not under the contract system. The organization of farmers along cooperative lines for social, religious, educational and financial improve ment was made a special subject of endorsement. The congress proceeded wisely and well and set the pace for a develop' ment of resources of high value to the state. PROGRESSIVES TO ADVISE Governor Wilson's address to the New Jersey electors was brief but it was to the point. He said that only Progressives would be summoned by him as advisers because they only were in harmony with the cause to which he is committed. The presi dent-elect is entirely right—he could not consistently say anything else He has a right to assume that the re actionaries are honest and that an honest reactionary would conscienti ously advise against progressive measures. Why should he ask advice which he must necessarily reject? Reactionary democrats who support ed the ticket are eligible to other im portant positions but they are not available as advisors. THE MAN OF THE FUTURE Chicago Evening Post: A French savant peers far ahead to see the man of the future. He will have, says the scientist, a larger head, a less power ful jaw and fewer teeth. Prevalence of food that is easily masticated is to lead to the change in the chewing ma chinery. Two or three ribs are to disappear stature, arms and legs are to be shorter. The little toe will be come obsolete, a start in its elimina tion being noticeable even now. By that time, according to other prophets, the appendix will have nearly passed through atrophy, There are only a few of us who can employ tlie muscles of the ear now. The large head will hold a larger if not more active brain. With the shorter arm, the hand, next to the eye the most highly sensitized agent of the brain, will become larger, and the fingers will be of still greater use in development. All this predicted on the evolution of man as he is, there being no likeli hood of a natural upheaval to change habits, surroundings or food supplies TRAVELING EXPENSES There has been considerable com plaint in regard to the travel claim oi' some of the state officers in their wanderings over the country, especial ly in this complaint aimed at the ac counts of Gov. Vessey for the past two years, and those of State Engineer Lea, which are alleged to have been excessive. Several members have been investigating along these lines and Senator Howe attempts to cdre the situation by a bill which goes to the opposite extreme. He seeks to pre vent any Btate officers from drawing travel pay anywhere outside the atate save the attorney general in caaea which call him outside the state to ap pear in courts. This is elimination with a vengeance, aa it would prohibit atate officers from attending national meet ings of like officers from all the states of the union, or force them to pay their own travel expenaea if they did go^ and would prohibit the state land commis sioner from going to Waahlogton fan look into matters of interest to the state lands, which in many looking after personally to get akapped JUSK. "J ®feg# O, THAT ANGRY MAN Huron Huronite: Senator Craw ford becomes delirous as he surveys the field of endeavor at Pierre, as ife'v looks to him, while the contest waa on over a choice for United States senator. The situation of then has not ap peared as lurid to others as It does to the senator and considerable wonder ment will be experienced over the play of emotion that exhibits Itself through his contributions to the pub lic press. Referring to the republicans who did not vote for Mr. Sterling, Mr. Crawford depicts their characters in burning language, saying: 'Along with the mephitic odors and putrid smells, these men have left be hind them a record of betrayal and treachery so black and damnable that it will remain to curse them aa long as they live." Attributing their alien* ationfrom the Sterling cause to the malign influence of certain persons and corporations, Mr. Crawford fur* ther dclares: "No matter what fialse pretenses are made, we may be assured Gambit, Richards, Egan, McLeod and Burke, with the Milwaukee and Northwest* ern, the Homestake Mining company and the saloons will play aside game with Ed. Johnson and the democratic organization to defeat the progressive republicans." No one can tell exactly what illus ions are behind the analysis made by Mr. Crawford, but be certainly takes a startling view of a condition of af fairs that is very easily explained, and has been explained many times. The republican opposition to the election of Mr. Sterling was ba$«d en tirely on the reasonable Mllef that hi had abandoned the republican party after it bad abandoned the republican party after it had nominated him for the senatorBbip. If loyalty to old party associations and achievments causes men to eimitf^ mepblttc odon andpntrM" snfelis,*V those who betrayed that party in iU^.v own council and appropriated its Ut« ery may be Justly classified with the night wanderer that is shunned by the human, and the animal kingdon^. alike, yfji -Stft' CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION It is not within the power of the present session of the legislature to call a constitutional convention. Un der the state constitution all it can do is to put the matter to a vote of the people at the next election, and if the people feel that the need for a conven tion is great enough to justify its cost, they can so declare by electing members of the legislature pledged to it. If the convention were called, it would consist of as many delegates as there are members of the lower house. This number is now 108. The delegates would be chosen In the same way, and they are paid the same. —$5 a day. No limit of time is put on the conventions deliberations, and it might remain in session for several months. The cost should not be as great as that of a legislative session but it would no doubt prove to be nearly so. The per dfom of the members is only one item of the cost and that would exceed $500 a day. The reason given for the deman4 is that our constitution, though onO of the new ones, is already out of date. Every election however offers a chance to amend it by popular vote!! These chances are open every two years, and before a constitutional convention is held, the promoters will have to tell tbe people wherein the present document is defective and why the present methods of amend ment fail. The grain crop of tbe world for the year 1912 was over 4,000,000,000 bush els greater than any previous year, so considering the vast amount of wheat already placed upon the. market, the present price is very good.
