Mr. ker, in the course IF his argument in the
star route eases yesterday gave the jury some adj
dtl0nal facts and figures which are calculated 10
help them materially IA arriving at just verdict
He showed that one route held by the favored cOn-
tractors OF tn ring yielded net profit OF So AZ
The SefTice for that route cost Sl2600, and Brady
allowed the contractors S36,0s Tor performing II.
What stronger evidence OF the dishonesty of the
star route administration could b. produced? No
Doiy has ever accused the ex-Seconl Assistant
Postmaster General OF inclpacity. 1t Is apparent
That he had a pretty thorough knowledge Of the
routes now In question; OF their length cost etc.
To say that lie allowed contractors to make a
clear profit OF si3, 1913 on single rOpte through
ignorance would argue degree OF stupid " which
would unfit him for any sort OF business. This
plea has hot been made, and there is but one other
conclusion TO be- inteli gently reached. The allow
ance for the service was 50 far out OF proportion
TO Its value and its cost that there must have been
sene motive for thus improperly drawing money
from the government treasury, and this theory
sxetains the governments accusation OF division
Of spoils between officials and contractors.

Huron Huronite: George H. Hand
did not secure the nomination at Grand
Forks for congress, yet he holds higher
position in the estimation of his many
friends in the territory. He has passed
through bitterly contested political
fight unscathed. Not charge of cor
ruption or dishonor defiles his reputa-
tion. He was the only candidate who
represented south Dakota in the contest
for representation at the seat Of govern
ment. He was the only man who dared
to make the contest. Handicapped un-
justly with the prejudiees against others,
he made q noble and successful fight.
His courage has relieved Dakota of q
blot. His failure to receive the nomina-
tion was mere matter Of circumstance
and of lesser consequence. That his
merit and services will be gratefully re.
cognized at no distant day is scarcely a
prediction, but certainty.
