SOUTH DAKOTA sENATORsHIP.

Pierre. S. D., Feb. 3.-Loucks has with
drawn from the Senatorial race, in the
interest Of harmony and requested his
friends to use their best endeavors to
unite with others upon some candidate
who will be satisfactory to the party.
1t is believed that his withdrawal will
serve as an excuse for some Of Kyle's
supporters to leave him, they having felt
that so long as Loucks stayed in the field
they must stay by Kyle. The Democrats
failed to unite upon a Democrat, and it
looks as if the Kyle Democrats might
succeed in throwing the entire Demo-
cratic vote to Kyle to-day. The vote in

THE CITIZEN AND JOE pUREEE.

The poetic frenzy of the Citizen over
the selection of Mr.. Joseph Durkee TO
be a county commissioner for Duval
county is we'll understood. It's c0nten-
ton that il is step in the direction of
education AMI liberation Is sham
Mr.. Durkee is a member of the 'close
corporation" that is debating and con-
trolling the politics of the Citizen, and
through it and other newspapers aud
leaders, wearing the mask of democ-
racy, is attempting TO control the leg
islation of the state.
II is not because the republican
party Is given recognition in the Sc
lection of Mr.. Durkee that causes the
Citizen so much melody and glee, for
he is not representative republican.
1t is "a well-known fact that three
fourths of the republican party of Du-
val county, and throughout the state
generally, are negroes, and this party
can only have representative recogni-
ton through the appointment of one
of this race. Had this party been
given genuine recognition would the
Citizen have trilled its same melody 4?
Dir. Durkee is the acknowledged head
of one Of The corporations of this state.
Heis the receiver of the j., Il. & X. w.
railway. He is also a gold-bug and a
protectionist, and in politics all that
the Citizen is, and through him and
his associates, the Citizen is preparing
the way to form coalition in the
next campaign and thus be enabled to
root out the last vestage of true democ-
racy remaining in this state.
Is there any other explanation for
it? Could there be any other expla-
nation for so much gush, and frenzy,
and little tommy rot over the appoint
ment of so big a man to so small an
office? A 'little thing like that"
couldn't give so much emotional joy
unless there was niger hidden away
in the woodpile.
IL political liberation is the real
plan of the Citizen, why is it not ex-
tended TO all parties? Why does it
not advocate giving the populist party
representation on this board also?
1t is because the populists are not
corporationists. 1t is because the Git
izen is not sincere in its plea for toler-
alton.
The morning star that betokens a
better day for the people of Florida
will be when its political control is
wrested from the corporate nists, and
democrat, who does not wear cor
poration tag and collar, can stand up
in a democratic convention and
In democratic Legislature and i'm a

Lie in Kansas.

For extreme pessimism, says the
Chicago Tribune, the following from a
respondent Kansas editor is worthy
OF Schopenhauer in his bluest days:
MAN that is born of woman is few
of days and full of microbes. The
moment he hits the earth he starts
for the grave, and the longer he travels
the faster he goes. His visible reward
for long days of labor and nights of
walking the floor with "a teething baby
il an epitaph he can't read and a
tombstone he doesn't want. In the
first of the seven ages of man he's
licked, In the last he's neglected, and
in all the Others he's a target for the
lying, meddlesOme mischiefnaker-a
woman who won't tend to her own
business. If he does not marry his
first love, he'll always wish he had.
and IL he does, he'll always wish he
hadn't. Yet norman ever follows free

sucking dog when called To account hy
his wife for his cussedness. He goes
forth IN the morning to pillow corn
with a cross-eyed mule and roam

Beats Columbus Egg Trick.

Here is trick that will amuse you.
Punetnre the shell of raw egg with a
pin, aud through the hole thus made,
extract the contents. When the shell
has become dry pour fine sai d through
the pin hole until the egg is one fourth

white wax, and your imitation egg
will be as natural in appearance as a
real one. Then tell your companions
that you can make an egg obey your

of knife, the rim of a glass, or what
ever you will. OF course, no one will
believe you, but you can prove that
you are right. The only secret is to

will settle at the bottom, and keep the

Money in Circulation.

Hon. S. M. Owen, of Minnesota eff
fectually punctures the misrepresenta-
tions that there is SO per capita in the
channels of trade. He writes that
while it is now officially reported 81,
5S2, 1908, 2S9 is in circulation in the Uni
ted States, on January 8, 1897, it was
reported that $5is, 036, 200, or more
than One-third of all the money in the
country, was locked up IN New York
banks! Tnis left at that date only
about $l4 per capita of money outside
of New York, instead of the nearly
So per capita that is said to be in cir
culation among the people, OF the
rritie of over 81 900, 900 outside of
New York more than one-half is idly
reposing in other than New York
banks, in public treasures, in deposit
vaults and other places, leaving it reas-
enable to assume, not over $500 per
capita in actual circulation among the
people, a condition that readily ac,
counts for the prevailing distressed con-
dition of business.
Strangely enough, New York Ia
per commenting on these figures, ex-
ultingly says: Conditions were never
more ripe than to-day for good times, ,
when as a matter of fact, no more
alarming or hopeless condition could
be imagined. Money is cheap in New
York, no doubt, but it is because of
money CONGESTION there, there being
no opportunity for profitable invest
ment among the people, where it
should be circulating. The west is

Do We Want Peace Under Existing Cir.
cumstanees!

The following is the reply sent to the
World by the editor of the Ban
ner in response to its telegram anent
the arbitlation treaty:
In reply to your telegram, beg to
say that under our system of civiliza-
ton peace is more disastrous aud less
preferable than war.
Since the surrender of Lee at Apo
mattox, now more than thirty years
ago, we find more than 6,0O0, 600 of peo-
pie out of employment AN army of more
than hundred thousand tramps and
more than one hundred applicants
scrambling for every public office.
In Columbus, the capital city of
Ohio, the Presidents own state, we
find the poor, driven by the pangs of
hunger, calling at the penitentiary,
begging for the crumbs that fall from
the tables of the convicts. This dis
counts amazingly the mostremarkable
episode thought worthy to be recorded
in the pages of sacred history, and
which served as a sermon TO Him who
spake as never man spake, and to
which he referred direful warning to
all coming ages. Lazarus begged
crumbs that fell from the rich mans
table, but here, in free-born America
in the twilight of the nineteenth cen
fury, sharing the glory of steam, and
electricity, and labor saving inve 4
tions, driven by the despe alton
of starvation, we find the poor by bat.
taliOns glad TO feed on the r. jecteC
crumbs that fall from the meal erlS
supplied tables of convicts.
Uuder conditions which actually
confront us, We find peace more ruin
Gus, more disastrous and more destruc
tive than the ruffied front of war.
Forced by desperation, want anC
hunger, for the poor privilege of put
ting bread into the mouths of thu
starving, in country rich in re
sources, We find that incendiarism anC
war are less to be dreaded than pitiles
peace.
What is facing death on the field 0
battle to a man unable To provid
bread forstarving wife and children?
More important than arbitration a
present is a change in our monetary
tariff, trust and income tax laws, an,
court decisions, which make it posi-
BILE for the few to exact tribute from
the many by all that is implied unde
the hydra-headed evil of monopoly.
Make peace less ruinous than wal
and arbitration of all national and il
ternational disputes will follow as
natural result. +. +. HARRIS,
