Here's the way the Sioux Falls
Press puts it: .'Our republican
contemporaries are worrying them
selves about the dispensary amend
nent which the voters set into the
constitution at the recent election.
Before election the republicans
were quietly congratulating them
selves on how easily they could put
the popullst Legislature into a hole
by voting that amendment into the
constitution, little dreaming that
they would have the good luck to
get the legislature themselves;
and now that they have the legis-
hture and the amendment they are
Houndering about trying to saddle
of on others blame for the fix they
are in. Some Of them are sure the
state will have to build breweries
aud d%istllleries at enormous ex.
pense and others say the legisla.
ture a simply ignore. the whole
amendment and thus escape from
the predicament. We feel pity To-
the republicans, but are unable Il
offer any advice on the matter"

nihcance of this great bread mo.

organization absolutely controlling
the American production of -four
from wheat-which reaches the
enormous total of $4,000 barrels

wheat-cannot be contemplated

hundreds of thousands of mill en-

operations of a monopoly thus
controlling the selling prices OF
wheat, the productive capacities of
mills, the purchase price of flour.
The time has undoubtedly ar
rived for the effective condem-

forces must lead in the fight on
the trusts. The reform forces arr

silver is a back number.

silver is a back number. We
mus, understand what has brought
about the wide divergence in the
commercial value of the two
metals that we may be prepared
to struggle for the restoration OF
silver to its old place in our f.
nancial system. When we are
thoroughly posted as to the cause
of the decline Of the silver dollar
we will be better qualified to
counterfeit the efforts of the
bankers conspiracy to degrade
silver. We do not propose to be
silent or permit any good oppol-
tunity to pass unin,proved TO de-
nounce tue r~acsals who perpetrated
the crime of tn. century.
Every IN Of ordianry intelli-
gence who has given this sub
iecl his attention knows that rob-
bing silver of its money functions
is the cause of its decline in COM
mercial value. When the crime
WAS perpetrated the silver dollar
was worth more than the gold
dollar. When it was deprived of
its money use it would certainly
decline in price. 1t is a mistake
to claim that an abnormal pro-
duction Of silver bullion caused
the fall in the price. There was
a surplus Of bullion after
all the demand in the arts was
satisfied. 1t could not be con-
verteG into legal tender, for its
coinage had been be suspended.
1t was comparatively a worthless
commodity.
If the assault had been made up
on gold with the consent and coop
Grafton of the Government off,
Gals, and silver had been the law
full legal tender instead OF gold,
gold would have been
nearer the price OF silver, and II
England, France, Germany and
other gold states had joined the

gold as a money metal the golc
dollar would probably be worth

STAR ROUTE SERVICE.

Present Methods Denounced by Assistant
Postmaster General Shallenberger.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The work of
transporting the mails throughout the
United States is dealt with in the an
nual report of Second Assistant Post
master General William H. Shallen-
berger. The main feature of the report
is a vigorous denunciation of the present
star route methods. Mr.. Shallenberger
refers to the speculative bidding for
star routes as "discreditable to the gov
ernment." He says the bidders cut a
little under the old contract price and
risk being unable to sublet at profit
The competition results in the greater
part of these contracts being awarded
at very low rates, the accepted bidders
or their agents often using deceit and
misrepresentation in securing subcon-
tracts from poor and innocent men as
principals and sureties.
