In Paris , Homeward Bound.
Paris , France , Aug. 1C. One of tin
most pleasing features of our tri ]
was the drive of fifty miles in cat
riages from Isello over the famou
Slmplon Pass through the Alps. Till
winding , climbing , twisting road bull
over btreams , cut through the solli
lock for miles was built by that gen
ins of a man. Napoleon , and of hi
ampalgns that is one lasting elemen
of good that his roads are still mos
valuable. As wo ascended the pik <
we passed above the timber line untl
we were in the midst of snow , tei
twenty and more loot deep , and thi
was on August Kith. The Tempi
party could not resist , so they got on
of the carriages and snowballed eac
other awhile and this was great spon
but you can. do the same on the Swli
zerlnnd Trail in Colorado any day i
the year.
We reached the SImpion village , o
the summit of the pass at noon , an
being hungry because we had ha
breakfast at 5 that morning , so w
had a line dinner at Hotel d' Posti
having wired ahead asking them t
have the meal ready. The air wn
delightfully bracing and we were gla
that we had left behind us the he
and sunny Italy. We arrived in Brigu
late in the evening and spent a splei
did time in this quiet city in the va
ley.
Leaving Brigue we took a fast e :
press train for Territet in Switzerlnm
This city is located on Lake Genevi
At Territet we took the funicular cr
to the castle of Chillon which is but
on the bank of the lake where tli
water Is 300 feet deep. The castl
was built a long time ago and !
partly Romanesque and partly Gothi
in style. The whole place Is romant
In spirit and the skipping water make
the place fantastic. Here one ca
dream dreams and see visions.
This old castle Is made most memo
able by Byron's immortal poem <
"The Prisoner of Chillon , " a few Urn
of which 1 will quote :
"There are seven pillars of Goth
mould ,
In Chlllon's dungeons deep and ok
There are seven columns , mossy nr
and gray
Dim with a dull Imprisoned ray ,
A sunbeam which hnth lost Its way
And through the crevice and tl
cleft
Of the thick wall is fallen and left ,
Creeping o'er the floor so damp
Like a marsh's meteor lamp ;
And in each pillar there Is a ring
And in each ring there Is a chain ;
That Iron is a cankering thing ,
"or in these limbs its teeth remain. "
And Byron continues until the vei
itmosphere of the prisoner is ful
described.
The poem Is well worth reading 1
prophet , priest , politician , labor *
king or citizen. After seeing tl
sights of Territet the castle and gti
dens we took a steamer across tl
lake to Ouchy , a fashionable lake i
sort. The place presents a line n
pearance as it skirts the lake shoi
After a time in Ouchy we proceedi
to Lausanne where we had a goi
rest.
I must say it is horrible the way t'
people spend the Sabbath. The shoj
stores and saloons are wide open ai
they seem to have no sense of wro :
doing. I really believe If America h
the kind of saloonkeepers that th
have over in Europe , they would
lynched In twenty-four hours.
But the gay city of Europe Is Pni
which we reached at the very ho
that was scheduled for us by the II
ton office four months ago. And t
pleasantly located nt the Hotel S
ney. We have seen much of Pa
already , having been In the city 01
a few days. At first we chartered
automobile and visited the noted g
lerles , palaces , cathedrals , inuseui
and monuments. We visited the toml
of Napoleon In the Hotel Suvnllde *
The tomb Is underneath the dome li
an open circular crypt twenty feet li
depth and thirty-six feet In dlamettei
In. the middle Is the sarcnphngn
\rlilch measures thirteen feet by si :
oud one-half feet with a depth of font
teen feet , and it was hewn out of i
single block of Siberian porphyry um
Is said to be the Uncut tomb in tin
world. Then around the tomb Is i
nidslac pavement which represents i
beautiful wreath of laurels and in
scribed In the moslac are the names o
the following battles : Rlvoll , Pyin
mlds , Mnrengo , Austerlltz , Jenn
Frlodlnml , Wagram and Moscow. li
order to get a glimpse of the celt
brnted residence of Louis XIV. w
took another automobile trip of on
day to Varsnllles. In order to rei
llze the cost and greatness of ; hl
noted palace you must remember tun
there were rooms and quarters for 10
000 Inmates. The longer facade t (
wards the garden is 630 yards I :
length and is pierced with 375 wlr
dows.
The pah c cost $100,000.000 an
when Louis XIV lived there It cos
$580,000 to keep It going yearly , an
now while It Is only used as a musemi
It costs $125,000 annually to mnintal :
it. And I am sure we do not blam
the French people for revoltin
against such a needless waste of thel
money.
Tin- parks , gardens ana fountain
at Versailles present n most beaut
ful landscape scene. Thus we ar
seeing Paris and bringing to a clos
one of the best tours that the Ten
tile company have ever given.
But my party were still unsntisflc
until we chartered an automobile am
saw gay Pareo at night at which tlm
you will see the real life of the pec
pic.
Thus we have toured Europe a
one big family , almost as large n
Teddy Roosevelt recommends , and
nay add that we have become fas
rlends. We borrow and lend to eac
ither as though we had been acquaint
> d for years. It is in itself an educr
ion to bring together twenty-two pec
lie from the four quarters of Amer
ca , and travel thus for three month
n one company. It is much like th
issociation of college days. We b (
come larger minded , more charitabl
and more self-sacrillcing , because c
mingling with others The youncet
nember of this long tour of the Ten
ile party is Miss Alice Cameron c
Baltimore , who Is with her mothe
Mrs. George W. Cameron and also he
grandmother. Miss Alice Camero
s only 8 years old. And in Rome sh
ind her eighth birthday and we gav
tor a little party , and had a big tirai
Thus we have had many sods
pleasant associations which will nc
e forgotten.
And we are soon to take the stean
hip Chicago on the French line fc
New York City. The whole party ,
think , Is ready to return to the Unl
ed States , being glad that they ai
American citizens.
So I will say Goodbye.

MORE RAILROAD RUMORS.
It Is Reported Again Milwaukee Su
veyors Are in Tripp County.
Gregory , S. D. , Sept. 3. Special I
The News : Word has just reachc
here that the Milwaukee railroad su
veyors are again in the Held runnir
a new line through Roseland. Or
of the reports indicate that the ere
is at work setting grade stakes on tl
line surveyed west and southwest n
through the county from Oacotna In
year. But another report , seeming
reliable , states that a new line is b
ing run out which is heading off non
of the one run last year and being rv
in the direction of the governmei
town of WItten , which Is a little sout
but mainly west from Roseland.
the Milwaukee should build over su <
a route it would effectually shut tl
Northwestern off from all of the tra <
of the settlers from a few miles nor
of the line of the new Northwestei
extension now building clear to tl
White river on the northern bounda
of the county.
Hoselan , or Hamlll as the postoffl
Is named , is located In the northeas
ern part of the county and not f
west of the Missouri river. It Is 1
cated In the heart of a large tra
of perhaps the best land in Tripp cou
ty and which Is thickly settled wi
new comers. It Is In that section
Tripp county that hot flowing artesis
wells are secured at a thousand fo
depth with a strong pressure. Tl
Milwaukee , in building into that pa
of Tripp county , will tap the riche
part of the new agricultural domain.

In his Labor day speech Color
Roosevelt said :
Women and children should , beyo
all question , bo protected ; and In tin
cases there can be no question tl
the states should net. They shoi
I be particular objects of our sollcltmi
I and they should bo guarded In an
3fectlve fashion against the deman
h ' of a too greedy commercialism. '
e iny recent trip In the neighborhood
Scranton and Wllkeslmrro every one
spoke to agreed as to the Immense In
provcment that had been wrought b
the effective enforcement of the * law
prohibiting children undt'r the ago d
fourteen yearn from working , niul pit
hiblllng women from working mor
than ton hours a day. Personally ,
think ten hourts too long , but. bo thi
as It may , ten hours a day was a greva
advance.
Among the planks In the platform o
Hit- American Federation of Labo
the-io are some to which 1 very strong !
subscribe. They are :
f. Free schools ; free textbook *
nnd coiiipulFory education.
2. A work-day of not more thai
c'lght hours.
3. Release from employment om
day In seven.
4. The abolition of the swent-shoi
system.
5. Sanitary Inspection of factory
workshop , mine and homo.
C. Liability of employers for Injur ;
to body or loss of life.
(1 ( regard the demand In this fern
as Inadequate' . What wo need is ui
automatically fixed compensation fo
all injuries received by the omployi

Infinitely hotter for the employe am
more just to the employer. The enl ;
sufferers will be lawyers of that nude

7. The passage and enforcement o
rigid anti-child labor laws which \MI
cover every portion of this country
S. Suitable and ple-ntiful play
ground for children In all thecities. .
Inasmuch as prevention Is always
host , especial attention should bo pnli
to the prevention of Industrial acci

use of safety de-vices. At present tin
loss of life and limb among the Indus
trial workers of the I'lilted States li
simply appalling , and every yein
equals In magnitude the killed am
wounded in a fair-sized war. Most o
the-bo casualties are preventable , am
our legislative policy should bo shapoi
accordingly. It would bo a good idn
to establish In every city a museum o

ROOSEVELT ON THE TARIFF.
He Says the New Method Adopted I
President Taft , is Right One.
Sioux Falls , S. D. . Sept. 5. The
doro Roosevelt said in his address
this city :
Whenever men just like ourselves
probably not much better , and c <
talnly no worse continually fall
give us the results we have a right
expect from their efforts , we may Jn
as well make up our minds that t
fault lies , not In their personality , h
in the conditions under which th
work , and profit comes , not from e
nounclng them , but In seeing that t
conditions are changed. This is es |
cially true of tariff-making. It h
boon conclusively shown , by expe
inents repeated again and again , tl
the methods of tariff-making by cc
gross , which have now obtained I
so many years , cannot , from the vt
nature of the case , bring really sat
factory results.
With the present tariff , mndo by t
same methods as Its predecessor a
as that predecessor's predecoss
there Is grave dissatisfaction. T
people know that there are soi
things In It which are not right , n
therefore they tend to suspect , at
think , the more numerous things In
which are right. They know that I
system on which It was made , i
system on which Its predecessors wi
made , encourage a scramble of self

sarlly moro or h'ss subordinated.
There was a lime when this scramble-
was regarded as the natural course *
in tariff-making and was not resented.
Now the people demand , and rightly ,
that the piolit of the special InterestK
shall bo subordinated to the general
welfare in every case. It is this atti
tude of the people which must bo
met in dealing with the present tariff
and with proposals to amend the pres
ent tariff. Very little Improvement ,
indeed , will follow any attempt to revise - -
vise the tariff by methods hitherto
used. ? The thing to do IK to change tlie >
methods.
1 believe this country is fully com
mitted to the principle of protection ;
but it IB to protection as a principle ;
to protection primarily in the inter
est ot the standard of living of the'
American workinsmnn. I believe that
when protection becomes not a prin
ciple , but a privilege and a preference'
or , rather , a jumble of privileges and
piot'eroncos then the American people
ple dlsappiove of it. Now , to correct
the trouble , it is necessary , in the
flrt-t place , to get in mind clearly what
we want , and , In the next place , to got
in mind clearly the method by which
we hope to obtain what we want.
Whnt we wnnt is a square deal in the
tariff as in everything else ; a square *
deal for the wage-earner ; a square
deal for the employer ; and a square
deal for the general public. To ob
tain it we must have a thoroughly elll-
clont and well-equipped tariff commis
sion.
