Special to 'ho News Judson Graves of this Ity wandered out of town yesterday ftornoon and became lost for more han two hours. Ho was found by Officer Nichols about three miles orth of this place and going farther way from homo as fast as ho could valk. Several automobile loads were pressed Into service to loacto him be- 'ore it became dark. When approached by Officer Nichols 10 was in the best of mood and con- entod willingly to return home. 'What are you doing out here was Asked.

"I have been looking for a crowd of people all day Mr. Graves replied. 'I am a newspaper man and this Is ho best joke I ever had played on no. More than ten years ago Mr. Graves was editor and proprietor of the Neigh Advocate and on account of ill icalth he disposed of the plant.

He ono of the oldest newspaper men in hls section of the state and his ability as a writer In his younger days was first class. Hs memory Is apparently partially clear as to details and events during his early llfo and while In the employ for nine years on the Chicago Tribune and also his newspaper exper lences in Gnleshurg 111. Vermllliou S. D. and of this city but all recent details and happenings are absolute blank.

For the past several years ho has been gradually falling In health bul managed to take a walk several times a day both in winter and summer. Uses Lash on S. D. Senator. Huron S.

D. May 30. Regarding the appointment of a federal Judge foi the district of South Dakota Chalrmai Richards of the republican primnrj organization has made the followlnf statement The expected has happened and Mr Elliott the Milwaukee railroad attorney noy has been appointed United State district judge for South Dakota li opposition to and in violation of thi platform party of this state. Mr. El llott visited Washington on May 13 and he and Senator Gamble roundec up Senator Crawford and marchei him to the white house and made bin face the music to pay back old obll gallons.

He has been playing "hldi and seek" for months hut last weel ho was forced to line up before Taft Gamble and Elliott. President Tnft is turning over tin judicial positions to the senators ai ordinary political spoils of patronage The frequent press dispatches fron Washington stating that the presldon was Ignoring the politicians In hi judicial appointments nro pure tic tlon. Hero Is the absolute proof thn the politicians yes the railroad poll tlclans control the judicial appoint monts. This at a time too when tin politicians of the nation nro so seriously alarmed nt the thought that tin people the common people shouh hint at the recall of Judges. This casi is the more tlagrant because the pa Hticnl party of President Taft In thl tate wishing to guard the state's In- tnrcHtH In certain rnlltoad legislation now pending In the federal court In this state Involving millions of dollars lars and affecting transportation rates In perpetuity declared In our last state platform against the appointment of corporation attorneys to the position of federal judge for this district In the following words "Wo nro opposed to the appointment to federal judgcshlpfl of corporation lawyers whoso environment IB such as to create distrust or weaken public confidence In cases where Hiic.li corporate Interests may bo Involved.

Offers a Remedy. By numoroiis protests President Taft has boon advised against making such an appointment. Senator Gamble Insistently poralstod and Senator Crawford him boon whipped into line to violate late the state platform of their party. What will ho the answer of the real progressive republicans of this state an to the action of President Taft and Senators Gamble and Crawford There Is but ono answer that will command the respect and support of not only the real progressive republicans hut of the progressive voters of all political parties In this state and that Is to tnko dlroct Issue with all three in the only practical manner now available In the absence of a "rccnll" law viz. to organize for their dofcnt at the first opportunity and vote for the adoption of the Richards primary law which contains the party recall and the remedy for the personal spoils sys tem.

It IH not a question of Mr. Elliott personally but of principle. President Taft has publicly announced time and again that this is a government by parties but ho does not respect his party platform In this stato. Memorial Day a Cloudy One. Memorial day dawned In Norfolk with louden skies a thick humidity and signs of showers for the day.

Following the decorating of graves In the forenoon Willis E. Reed of Madison delivered an address nt the Methodist Episcopal church at 2 o'clock. Mr. Heed spoke of the present generation's war on tuberculosis In part ho said Soldier. What an honored and respected name.

How It causes us to hesitate and stop to think of all they have been and what they did for all of us. They made this a free and Independent nation sustained It that we have one government Instead of forty-llvo or Ilfty and fought to liberate alien races and people in the interest of humanity. Over 200,000 died In that memorable rebellion. They fought and died for the love of their country and the principles of citizenship as they viewed It was probably necessary yet eneratlons to come will wonder why eason and judgment was not used intend of allowing passion pride and rejudlce to control. It Is much easier to look calmly ack over history now after a lapse Ilfty years and give sago advice han to have carried it out under the icated pressure of the then existing ondttions.

Men equal in point of null- ty character station and standing vero matched against each other in mny instances blood relationship ighting against each other and for ivhat to free the slaves Yes and 10. The freeing of the slaves was only an Incident. It was to test our con- titution our ability to sustain cor- nin form of stable government. It was heralded to the world that ir forefathers had not fought and died in vain for liberty to all man kind. And those who wore the blue ire no prouder of the results today han those who wore the grey.

It was numerical strength and ilenty of rations that saved the constitution and carried us to victory lerole deeds and valor oxlstcd in all camps and battles. Never before in history of the world was the vie- or so kind considerate and thought- 'nl as the boys in blue. Each generation seems to have new problems to meet and solve and It IE ever before them until it is solved correctly. The New War. Duty requires more of every citizen today than It has ever required In the past.

There is a war going on in this ountry of a different nature and chnr acter than the ono which caused the birth of this national holiday. It Is also an internal conflict it is no respecter of persons ages or sex. Its carnage is many fold greater it has a deeper grip upon humanity than lithe llrst instance any of us over sus pected. It differs radically from those who passed nwny upon the battle field In prison or at the hospital. Yet for centuries It has been known to exist its approach has been Insidious its attack persistent its victory over whelming.

It was not until within recent years that it has attracted sue national attention. There seems to be no issue at stake except llfo or deatl It is a tight to the finish. Its fa tnlity is frightful. Slowly certatnl and beyond question it is reaping th greatest harvest of any war disease or plague heretofore ever known. Until very recently it was declared impossible to check Its onward march but thanks to the great scientist wh discovered the bacillus productive ese so many deaths It Is destined to mee its Waterloo.

Statistical facts beyond question that In 1908 withl the United States alone 160,000 persons died of this dreadful malady an yet It is not contagious. It is carrie from one to another by infection anIs known as the "white plague" consumption and considering th rapid progress with which it has bee spreading throughout the land it I conservatively estimated that more dividuals In 1909 and 1910 died eac year from the effects of it than perIshed upon nil the battlefields dui Ing the entire civil war. Startling ar these figures indeed and yet is any wonder that I say to you that have duty to perform today greate than ever before The nnture extent effect and fata Ity of this disease should bo bette known and while -could not enlls In any of the wars of Uncle Sam I ni pleased to say that I have enllste and belong to an organization secon to none In the world over ono milllo strong whose growth and vitality ha astonished mankind who have with the last three years undertaken greater work and doing more good I that direction to stamp out tuberculc sis than the entire government of th United States. It is endeavoring stay the hand of death and restor to strong manhood those afflicted wit consumption because scientists knov that there are latent genus In the sys tern of every ono. ready at any inc ment to receive Into and carry throng germs of this dlaonso which sooner later envelope Its victim.

For Fraternal Memorial Day. Heretofore wo have claimed that i all previous warfare men fought to ntlsfy the greed or aim of some nvnr- clous prince or add to the pomp ml royalty of some autocratic power ut the civil war was the first known 11 which free men fought for the llhor- tlon of an alien race and the llowor the nation wont down In that mom- rahlo struggle but when you stop think of the national good and vorth to bo accomplished hy the fra- ornal organization which has cm- arked upon this world-wide work entering Its efforts within the state Colorado as a home for suffering iiimnnlty detracting nothing of honor ml credit nor dimming the luster of hose noble heroes who have fought or their country's good and all they ave done for humanity upon an oc- aslon of this kind when I realize that ow this organization of over a million tcmhcrs is in the great battle which a life and death struggle not only or the Inhabitants of this land but 11 other lands and climes upon which he sun shines I cannot pass it by vithout directing your attention to the act that they the members of this rgnnlzatlou today are foremost In trowing flowers upon the graves not nly of their departed membership ut upon the graves of all those who ought and died for their country's volfare. And while other organlza- Ions may take up and assist the work hat is now going on when the history the twentieth century will have teen completed no brighter pages rtll stand impressed thereon than what the Modern Woodmen of Amer- ca have boon are now and will con- inuc to do for suffering humanity in he stamping out extinguishing and vlping the face of the earth ho dreadful white plague. Three yearse ago upon a similar ccasion in a public address I took ipportunlty to say that I hoped to sec he present generation assume the re- ponslhillty of observing this day with iroper services and attention and ex- iressed the desire to see al fraternal oclctles unite and act in conjunction and observe this day for strewing lowers over the graves of their de- arted members as well as those of he soldier instead of having so ninny nemorlnl days and that the few re- ualnlng old soldiers he treated and regarded as the most honored guests.

today that hope and desire Is elng carried out in many places and 10 greater help upon such occasions can be obtained than through the var- ous fraternal orders and clubs assisted by the Spanish War soldiers who have also endeared themselves to his republic because since the last remnants of that memorable conflict will soon leave us forever we wanted to know as well as the faithful Spanish War boys that organizations that will never die united and accepted their day as our day and that we shall in the future treat them as lonored guests of the occasion so long as they shall bo with us and when hey have passed nwny the tender muds of the loved ones left behind will continue In the grateful duty of strewing the graves with flowers recalling their virtues and acts of her oism. So that in the future the U1 soldiers as well as the new need liave no cause to question or wonder whether this remembrance will be properly regarded when they are no more. The few remaining old soldiers are In the twilight of life each year sees fewer and fewer faces. They have performed their work they did their duty and did it well. They can review their past and in the silence of declining years when we note their faltering footsteps and weakened voices they can feel proud of the fact that while some republics in the past have been ungrateful to her people and her soldiers so long as the sun shines and the moon and stars continue to kiss the dewdrops of nnture nnd Nature's God reigns over us they shall ever be foremost In the hearts of grateful people.

CHANCE MAY HAVE TO QUIT. The Chicago Manager Is Losing Weight Too Rapidly. St. Louis May 31.

Frank Leroy hance's friends are greatly alarmed over the physical condition of the icerless leader of the Chlczfgo Cubs. Chance was struck on the head by a ltched ball In a game with Clncln- mti ono month ago and ho hasn't en- eyed a good night's rest slnco then. Us weight has dropped from 210 to 175 pounds. The peerless leader of ho Cubs complains of shooting pains his head suffers sudden attacks of dizziness and blindness and is losing onfldenco in himself. In Saturday's game ho missed a couple of throws from Joe Tinker.

The lg first baseman soys the heat bothered him greatly and ho lost the ball both times while temporarily "fogged. Hugh Fullerton baseball correspondent traveling with the Cubs begged Chance not to work in Saturday's amo and even went so far as to suggest to Mrs. Chance who was with icr husband on the trip that she ought to make him take a rest. Mrs. Chance told Fullerton that she had Deen urging Frank to take a vacation nit ho said it was impossible for him to lay off while Johnny Evers Is out of the game.

Evers has been In the hospital with an attack of nervous prostration. The llttlo second baseman had just recovered from a severe nervous shock the 'result of an automobile accident In which ono of his companions was killed when he suffered severe business losses. Ho went all to the had and had to quit playing ball. Chance told Fullerton Saturday night that ho couldn't think of laying off while his chief lieutenant Evers was absent. "Well you know the old saying replied Fullerton "A stitch In tlmo is worth nine after the damage Is done.

I think you are making a mistake playing ball in your present condi tion. George Suggs the speedy Cincinnati pitcher delivered the ball that struck Chance on the "dome. According to Fullerton It was about the forty-ninth time Frank Leroy has been "beaued. "Heretofore Chance has never paid any attention to a llttlo thing Hko getting cracked on the head by pitched balls said Fullerton. "Tho famous leader of the Cubs has stopped more wild pitches with his 'bean' than any man living or dead In baseball.

He got his share of hard knocks In the minor leagues and has handled more than his share of fierce raps in the big ring. The punch that Suggs handed him was a fright It knocked ulm out for the tlmo being. I sincerely hope that Chance's present condition Is not serious but I hate to see him working so hard when ho should bo resting up. A man can't lese his sleep uid weight and keep going. Chance is a wonderful piece of machinery ono of the nover-say-dlo kind who never knows when ho Is beaten but there Is limit to everything and If ho doesn't look out ho'll find himself on the broad of his back..
