It has been shown that the people of the state are awake ‘to the advantages which way accrue from this new awakening of the people over the whole country for “taking care” of what we have. Those who attended got their pri- mary lessons in what may be accom- plished ‘along many lines in this state. ‘They ‘expect ' to take a more extended course of study in the future meetings of the congress, which are certain to find ‘as interested attendants many of the hundreds who came to help start the movement on its way in.South Dakota. The selection of the men who are authorized by the congress to make the movement a permanent one, and to proceed at their full option as to place and time of the next meeting and make all the arrangements for the same, is a guarantee that the work will be pushed along. Governor Vessey at the close of the meeting announced this committee, it being composed of H. H. Cable, Lin- coln; Isaac Lincoln, Brown; H. R. Dennis, Minnehaha; M. P. Beebe, Ed- munds; W. H. Stokes, Codington; A. G. Granger, Stanley; Professor F. L. Cook, Lawrence; C. H. Tucker, tiharles Mix; J. W. Campbell, Beadle. This committee is authorized to meet and organize by selection of its own officers and to take the necessary steps to make the congress one of the permanent institutions of the state. “HURTING BUSINESS.” Not long ago a manin Illinois wrote to a newspaper, protesting against an agitation concerning-cer- tain highways. ‘It hurts business,” he said, “to be forever talking about the muddy roads of Illinios.” There was recently a mild outbreak of smallpox in a New England city, and earnest efforts were made to suppress the facts for fear that publicity would injure the com- mercial interests of the community. One of the reasons why Montreal gave up its practise of erecting a beautiful ice palace each winter was the argument that it hurt Canadian business to have the im- pression of severe winters go aboard. When the gift of one million dollars was made for the purpose of fighting the hookworm, a few people in the Sonth resented it on the ground that' the crusade would injure - the -good name and the busi- ness prosperity of that -part-of the country. Similar instances: might be multiplied. The cry of “Don’t hurt business!” is raised by timid souls who fear..agitation .of-any kind, by politicians who bave-an instinctive horror of publicity, and by well- meaning people who -honestly be- lieve that business is. affected by various external and wholly foreign influences. ‘As for the last class, it is a.safe assertion that their fears are usually groundless. Trade is a matter largely de- termined ' by:the ‘needs, convenience and habits of ‘the buyer. -Business; local, sectional or national, depends upon bigger and broader: considera- tions than those above mentioned. 1910, No:one:will hesitate to buy Canadian % :lumber ' because ‘Quebec Provinece usouno.s. bas; cold winters, and Illinois: corn | Foan and Discounts. ... can-command its price regardless | pirsom Banks ”'“’”9 ., " d ‘ofithe state:of its higways. o.,n’fi%fi".n«f’g‘_fgm}benl'«?w egé%-n Ourrency, Gold, % LlflE M It can hardly be said that |SITe Zeppelin’s airship got off its trolly.

THREE INSURGENTS CALL| 8enator Bristow and Representatives Madison ‘and Murdock ‘of ' Kansas See ‘the 'Ex:President—All: Visitors _Arrange “Appointments in Advance and It Is Made Plain That No One Is Being “Summoned.” Oyster'Bay, N.'Y., July 4—Theodore Roosevelt as a “native oyster,” in_his own. phrase, 18 toibe more active this summer than faunal naturalists have hitherto found oysters, native or oth- erwise. Colonel Roosevelt does not wish to bedge himself about with formalities and at the same time he has work to do which demands his time. Accord- ingly all visitors come by appoint- ment, but since there is no executive office ‘here now to do the weeding out appointments are made at the' colo- nel’s editorial offices in New York. Senator Joseph L. Bristow and Rep- resentatives R. H. Madison and Victor Murdock, all of Kansas and all pro- gressives, arrived here at noon for a conference with Theodore Roosevelt. “Senator, shall you have anything to say ‘before your conference?” was asked. “No,” sald the senator, “but we | may have when-we get back, if the colonel ‘will let us.” Admits They Are Insurgents. “Are you gentlemen insurgents?” asked a reporter, anxious to be doubly sure of his facts. . The 'senator grinned. “I suppose we might be mistaken for such,” he acquiesced. Mr. Madison was'a member of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation com- mittee. The colonel is painstaking in his in- formal chats, not ‘meant for direct quo- tation, to indicate that he'is not' woo- ing “insurgency.” Progressives come to him; he does not summon them. Governor Hughes asked him for an expression of opinion on' direct pri- maries; he did not attempt to dictate. Usually these seekers of counsel ar- rive by the noon train, take luncheon at Sagamore Hill-and leave the same afternoon. Such guests as Oyster Bay designates as “big guns” come down late in the afternoon and stay all night. MAY HELP SENATOR LODGE ‘Sald ‘Roosevelt Will Jump ‘Into Massa- chusetts Fight. Boston, July 4—The decision ot Colonel Roosevelt to jump into the campaign to help Senator Lodge is regarded by some standpatters as no- tice to the progressive Republicans that he is not with them. Senator Lodge Is being opposed for re-election by every progressive in Massachu- setts, the battle against him being led by Congressman Butler Ames. The ‘Ames camp is filled ‘with consternation at the ex-president’s decision. They presume, of course, that Senator Lodge is “talking by the book.” NOMINAL LOSS IN'MINNESOTA Recent Fires Have Caused No Seri- ous Damage. International Falls, Minn., July 4— Reports from Canadian sources have greatly exaggerated the amount of loss by the forests on the. American side of the boundary, as the loss: has been nominal. Fires are numerous, but the loss to standing timber has been small. A ‘million. feet of logs owned by the Backus-Brooks interests ‘were burned on skidways at Orth, but aside from'that there has been small loss to timber. Settlers-and rangers are on the alert.and have done splen- did work, as shown by -the small losses. On the Canadian side of the:bound- ary, to the east and west of Fort Frances, the losses in timber and vil- lages will amount to at least $5,000, 000. The smoke from: the-fires-has at times obscured the sun.

MAY CUT PASSENGER RATES Effect of Ruling by Interstate Com- merce Commission. St. Paul, July .$.—Through passen- ger fares between some of the im- portant centers of the country, such as Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City, will have to be reduced by the rail- roads under the provisions of the new railroad law. It is provided in the new measure that carriers cannot charge more for a through haul than the sums of the local rates, which is in direct opposition to the practice followed in many cases by rate clerks in drawing up schedules. Unless the interstate commerce commission rules to the contrary, and it does not seem likely that it will if it is to follow a strict interpretation of the law, there is every prospect that the rate Letween Chicago and St. Paul will be reduced from 5 to 20 cents. On the same basis the pas- senger fare between St. Paul and Kan- sas City will be reduced. There is some likelihood, also, that the rate be- tween St. Paul and Seattle and Port- land will have to come down. HATPIN DRIVEN INTO BRAIN lowa Woman Fatally Injured in a Runaway.
