Now II Ia determined that South
Dakota has adopted by a small plural
lty q constitutional amendment EN-.
bodylng the South Carolina dlspen-
sary plan for dealing with the liquor
problem. South Dakota formerly
adopted prohibltory law. Then 1t
was repealed and now has taken this
shoot, AS Is usual with good laws,
they must run the gauntlet Of the
courts and they are fortunate indeed
II they do net come out mutilated,
emasculated, and almost annulled.
AT present the South Carolina law Is,
as we understand II, tied up in the
federal courts 80 far as itapplies pro
hlbltlng the sale of liquor In original
packages, and South Dakota will UNI
doubleday suffer the same way. II
the courts would let the law alone 80
as to allow ii full and undated
force, we should be inclined TO regard
the dispensary system as the most
practical way Of dealing with the
question. In Dakota the State IS to
all liquor sold, which IL
an entirely new feature IN the law.

REPUBLICAN, and corporation pa
pers do not usually have very much to
say on the plan of direct legislation
but when they do II Is to taboo and
idicule 1t, as impractical and of no
value or effect. Speaking of the
amendment adopted by the people of
South Dakota, one such paper says
that, five per cent of the people would
petition for so many laws to be sub
United that the people rs a whole,
would take no interest and pay no
heed to them. This seems to be a
just criticism but it is nothing to the
detrlment ofthe system, it is only an
Argument against that particular de-.
tail as 1t Is established in that State.
It would not apply at all to another
State where the petition of twenty
per cent to twenty FIVE per cent of the
people would be required to submit a
proposition. Suppose the city of Chi
oaRo had such charter as the city of
San Francisco has recently established,
providing that no public franchise or
extention Of time for one can become
valid until ratified by the people.
There would not be 100000 citizens of
alb parties wearing badges with a
gibbet and moose and shouting that

system of letting everything to con-

wherever it could be inaugurated, In

CONGRESSMAN BabcOck, chairman
Of the republican national congress-
ional committee, In an article In the
December Forum says that, Before the
breathing out Of hostllitles in the Sp an
ish war, the conditions which always
defeat the party in power in an of
year, prevailed to an unusual degree. {"
That is frank and 1t Is true. The
populists and democrats who forced
the war, we've defeated by it, While
it is not probably true that all of them
unders' God that the war was certain
to result that way, many of them and
probably most Of them did, and they
forced the war as patriotic measure
at party peril. 1t will be remembered
the GAZETTE said when Mckinley was
tagging that he was a most fortunate
man, that he had an opportunity to
lick little bankrupt five cent nation
aud make hero out of very cheap
material. That is precisely what
happened.

There are republicans and then
there are republicans. The usual
cant propaganda is to get as high up
on the hind legs and no wi as Justify as
possible that things under republican
administration are just as near per-
fectIon In al things material, spiritual,
intellectual or moral AZ 1t IL possible
for humanity Of the common clay to
attain. But Tom McNeal of the
Topeka Mail and Breeze, Is u unique
specimen. In speaking Of socialism,
populism and other isms, he actually
admits that there are a few thing even
In the year of his grace Mckinley,
which are not what might be wished.
He says: 1.-THE people Of this country
are not ready, and probably never will
be, for common ownership of property
and all that. There are, however,
some socialistic ideas, or at least what
are called socialisuc, that will receive
the attention Of the sensible people of
the United States and ought to re-
ceive the attention Of the politicians.
The so-called capitalstic and laboIlng
classes ught to be brought to o better
understanding, AS a matter of fact
there ought not to be any such divis-
ion US Is made now. There ought to
be no class called the laboring class
and no class called the capitalistic
class. Every man in this country ought
to be laborer and every man ought to
be capitalist The present wage
system may be the best that the
world can have, but 1t occurs to US
that this progressive people ought to
substitute a better system. 1t occurs
to us that system Of mutual interest
ought to take the place Of strikes and
labor wars. Strikes lure the strik-
ers more than employers az a rule, but
they are bad for both, and that isn't
the worst Of 1t; they injure the bust
ness and disturb the peace of the
whole country; some plan ought to be
adopted to make both sides do the
fair thing. A plan that will stop
strikes and labor troubles isn't going
to be found in day or a year or a
decade. 1t will come about through
experiments and a lot OF them will be
failures. We may stumble on the
true plan finally, but it will be prob
ably when this generation has passed
away. What we want In this country
is general prosperity and az general
evenness Of conditions and comfort as
possible. We want in this country no
exceeding rich or exceeding poor"
In all Of the above there is nothing to
which any populist can take excep
ton, and 1t is the ideal toward which
all sincere populists are working.
When however, he criticises the pop
ullsGs Tor setting the man who has
skill, muscle, and energy, aglnst the
man with capital" he immed-
lately places himself in the position of
one who wishes for something better,
but lacks energy or courage to work
for it. Unjust institutions are not
swept away nor new and vigorous ones
established without tremendous effort
and conflict. Such condition Of equal
ity as described above can not come
without offending those who have to
surrender something of their luxuries.
The wage system cannot be abolished
without Offense to its benehciaries.
AS long as men with benevolent mo-
tiyeS take it out IN wishing, there will
never be anything done.

THE CONFIDENTIAL CLERK"


The second nights performance of ffhe
Confidential Clerk by the members Of
ST. PauPs Dramatic Circle, was a vast
Improvement Upon the performance of
the preceding evening. Many changes for
the better were made, such as elimination
Of gestures and unnecessary lines which
had no bearing on the piece. The hall
was filled to Overlooking with a much
larger audience than was present on the
first night. Each bit of clever acting was
duly appreciated and the performers came
IN FOR some well merited applause.
Harry Walsh as Maxwell, the william and
friend of Montgomery, the confidential
clerk. was even better h on the open
ing night. Harry O1Mealia as the con-
ffdential clerk also improved his acting.
Miss Minnie Hohman was quite clever as
Edna Morgan. Kate Walsh filed the part
of Edna's mother to the satisfaction Of
all. Martin Roehrenbeek as Richard
Morgan was also good, and Paul Rivfere
as Nike Mccain. the Irish servant inn
proved on his acting of the night before.
In the last act he occupies the stage very
nearly the whole time, and has to repeat
about five hundred words, which is by no
means an easy task Little Margaret
R~oehrenbeck as Bessie Morgan did very
well for q. child and she was frequently
a~pplauded. The piece will be given again
this evening.
