One OF the important Offices to be fl
led this fall is that OF county Judge. 1t
combines the duties OF probate judge
with the jurisdiction OF civil cases OF q
limited size. As our local readers know,
Judge Levi MCGEE was elected probate
Judge last fall for two years, by the
adoption OF our constitution, his Office
is abolished. He is a candidate for cleo
ton to the Office OF county judge. The
term is only for one year, and it is only
u measure a justice that he be given the
position il there were no other questions
involved. But there are other ques'
tions. Judge MCGEE has served the
people OF this country one term prior tt
to the present one, in his present posi-
ton. Not a spot can be fonnd on hi
personal or official record. No maj
or woman ever found him of duty o
failed to find him a courteous, kind, abb
and just judge. The people OF this coun
ty are looking for good servants, not 10
an opportunity to pay political debt
for ring politicians. They want officer
who will serve the people, nota crow
ofwire pulling Office seekers, This bein
true Judge MCGEE is your man Tor cou1
ty Judge. Work for him, vote for hin
elect him, and you will have no caus
to regret your action.

Democratic County Platform.

Resolved, That the democratic party O
Pennington county in convention assembled
reafirms Its allegiance to its principles to the
national democratic party as enunciated by
tional coventions OF 1875, 1850, 1851 and
1888.
We extend a cordial invitation to all good
people to join with us in securing the correc
tion OF many abuses in our local affairs, and
for the masses OF the people irrespective OF their
business of centralized power.
We pledge tine representatives OF our party II
elected to legislature to secure the enactment
Of such laws as may be necessary to equalize
the burdens OF taxation and enact laws with
severe penalties for the punishment Of persons
property for taxation or who wilfully make
and file false afidavits with the commissioner
to secure a reduction OF taxes and also to Sc
be necessary to empower the commissioners
to investigate all questions pertaining TO the
taxation of property both real and personal
in any case respecting the taxation,o OF property.
We deprecate the open policy OF the repub-
ncan party as expressed in it's action in its pri.
resident tool Of the nonresident corporations
as the recipient Of its favor, in preference to q
resident OF their own county, a young maj with
to represent his state in the halls Of congress.
We deplore the apparent. increase Of intern
perance IN our country and we pledge our rep
resentatives, If elected to the Legislature, to Sc
cure 1.-THE enactment Of such laws as may be
necessary to carry into effect the provisions
OF our organic law as expressed by the voice OF
the majority Of our people at the polls.
We believe in q reform OF our present ballot
system and pledge the representative OF our par
", Heiected, to secure the enactment OF the
Australian system OF balloting at elections,
with all the safeguards necessary to secure its
enforcement. And we deplore the fact the bill
providing for such reform after passing both
branches OF the legislature at its last session
was stolen before 1t reached the executive, and
thereby the people were deprived of the benefit
intended to be secured.
Resolved, hat we earnestly invite all lovers
OF good government, OF whatever party. all
who are opposed to the dectation of bosses or
the undue influence in politics or corporate
wealth and power, to join with us in an honest
effort to secure to Pennington county such a
representation in the various Offices as shall
properly represent the wish and will of the
people.
Resolved, That we congratulate the people OF

The Harvest Home.

The people OF Spring Valley have
earned a reputation for their fall les.
rivals, as only a people Overlooking
with hospitality and a unit in all their
efforts could. The idea is not to make
money but to celebrate in a right, royal
manner the successes OF the season and
to take from the, busy routine 81 the
farm two days rest and social reunion.
In this the Home OF 1889, was a success.
There had been erected in the rear OF q
large tent a pavilion $50 It. long, taste
fully trimmed with evergreens, its en-
trance surmounted with the word
"Welcome" and on it's side the motto:
"Nothing is too good for the Farm"
Their faith in the latter was shown by
the well loaded tables: The exhibit,
though not large, was creditable con-
sidering, our aso which has not been
favorable for vegetables. Messrs.
Thompson and Hale have q fine show
OF native fruit. There were fine Speci-
mems of corr OF many different varieties,
wheat and oats, also a good showing OF
potatoes and politicians OF all varieties.
But throughout the exhibition the pro-
hibition element led the day.
Although the choir was q mixed zone
the rendition OF the temperance songs
we're enjoyed by all. During the first
day J. M. Leedy led in asshort but
earnest address and was followed by
Capt. Van Etten in one OF his straight
from-the-shoulder talks. On Thursday
Capt. Van Etten was followed by g.
Wood, he showed that the democratic
party had not always been the liquor
party, that in Iowa it led the. republican
party on the question. Both parties
claim to have the interest of the labor
ing man at heart, one would benefit him
with free trade, the other with ,protec-
ton. But how will either benefit with

Prof.. Bower, Judge Thomas and Atty.
HASTE addressed the people OF whom
there were 500 present. We believe in
the Harvest Home, but the idea should
enlarged upon, people should take more
interest, the labor should not be laid
upon the few, and it isn't enough to 60,
but carry more OF the products OF the
farm and dairy and take your stock

ons, but true agricultural exhibit. We
are under obligations to Capt. GarInor
for his Kindness during our visit.
Carefully repeated experiments made
by an experienced English nayigat4ss ct
santander, on the north coastotEfain,
showed the crest OF the sea waves ina
prolonged and heavy gale OF wind to be
40 feet high; and allowing the same for
the depth between the waves, would
make a height "a feet from crest to base.
The length from crest to crest was found
to be 1856 feet. Other estimates Of the
waves in the SouthAtlantic duringgreat
storms give . height OF 80 feet for the
crests and 400 iest for length. In the
North Sea the height Of crest seldom ex-
ceeds 10 feet and the length 100 feet.

would be the rankest kind OF a
prohibitionist. They are the greediest
wolves that ever invaded the human
flock, they increase, their tusine6sii at
anycost. Thee r thatprohibitiondon't
prohibit, comes from them, yet we find
that they are putting thousands Of dol
lars into. Dokota to-day to defeat pro-
hibition. In their national and state
associations they denounce prohibition,
in the strongest terms. They say it is
an invasion Of personal liberty. What?
Is it an invasion Of personal liberty. to
make whisky. plentier than it is now?
If it is true, as they claim, that the sales
OF liquor have increased in Iowa and
Kansas since the enactment Of prohibi-
ton, have the people Of those states lost
anything? This lie like any other is out
OF proportion. It don't measure out
right. The truth is always full size,
plump, square, it's angles. sharp, but a
lie is stoop shonldered and shrivels up il
exposed to the light. The liquor men
are not afraid that prohibition won't
prohibit, they are afraid that it will.
They know that prohibition means
death to the traffic, it means Increased
prosperity, it means better homes,s less
crime, less paupers, mor property and
less taxes. It means honest labor OF
starvation to q class Of men who to-day
eat and drink at the expense OF want
| and tears in the homes Of our fail
country.
We are not blaming the men who are
in this traffic. The existence OF the
business is not their fault. The people
have built it up, licensed it. fostered it,
made it respectable and even encourag-
ed it. While it is a business OF large
profits it is a business that even those
engaged in it ought to be glad to get rid
OF. It is a gallows on which the execu-
toner hangs himself eventually. A
prominent saloon keeper of this city
when asked for an advertisement, some
years ago said: No sir, I don't care to
advertise my business. I don't want
my people in the east to know what
business I nm in" That ia the senti-
ment, very largely Of the. s~aloonists, and
many Of them will, within q year after
prohibition is adopted in South Dakota,
bless the day that saved them from
themselves. The business is a blessing
to none, ave a financial aid to thu
manufacturers, and a curse to all. Or
the first Of October rise in your might
men OF South Dakota, and crush tn
evil while you may. Lay the the foun
dation OF your state in the cement o
whisky..and the superstructure will b.
spotted with crime. Do your duty ant
let no n persuade you otherwise.
