Senator Mason fired an unex-
pected shot into the ranks Of the
Philippine annexationists when he
offered his resolution starting with
a quotation from the declaration
of independence as follows:
"Whereas, all just powers of
government are derived from the
consent of the governed" etc.
His resolution declares that the
United States will not attempt to
govern the people of any other
country without the consent of the
people thereof, or subject them by
force to our dominion against their
will Unless the attitude of Ag-
uinaldo and his followers changes
radically from what the latest dis
patches indicate it to be, we have
got to govern them by force or not
at all.

But the matter does not end

Good Times for the Hills.

That the mining industry is on
the v of the greatest period of
activity in its history is a fact that
should be apparent to all. The
past year has produced gratifying
results in every district, but more
new locations and more active
work on promising properties is
being done today than ever be-
fore. New plants are being put
in shape for operation and old
ones are being overhauled for the
same purpose. Extensive works
are planned at several points for
erection in the early spring, while
every mill in the whole Black
Hills country is being operated to
fullest capacity in treating the ore
at hand. Capital is seeking in
vestment in undeveloped districts

New York, Jan. 9.-The Engineer

increase of $.5, o69, 1923, over the pre-

of gold was $64, 800, 900, an increase for

Governor Lees Message.

Governor Lees Message.
Governor Andrew E. Lee has
in the estimation of the hon.
st class Of people of South Dako
a since his message to the legisla-
.ure last week has been read and
,)ondered over. That he is abso.
lutely fearless in the pursuit OF
what he knows to be his official
1uty as chief executive of the state
verybody knew, or if there were
my doubters on this particular
point their doubts surely were dis
PEELED after reading his message OF
last week. The document dis
played good business methods,
.trict economy, faithful service n
office and a keen sense of duty as
governor.
To those who knew Andrew E.
Lee personally, it is not surprising
that his name has become a terror
to evil doors in Office. He has un-
covered so many steals perpetrated
by state officials and either brought
the guilty parties to justice or
forced them to a position where
they could not rob the people fur
Their, that his record along this line
has become established. His i'm
partiality in these prosecutions has
been shown by the manner in
which he decapitated populist
wrong-doers the moment he dis
covered their crookedness. The
governor has pursued the policy
that a thief is a thief, without re-
gard to his political affiliations or
his standing in the community.
The portion of Gov. Lees mes
sage which created a sensation and
which has for the time being dis
organized the corporation forces
was that wherein he dwelt upon
the charge preferred against Kirk
G.. Phillips, the defeated railro ad
candidate for governor. 1t was
charged during the campaign that
this man Phillips was guilty OF
having collected interest on depos-
its of public funds and approprlat-
ing them to his own use. Repubii.
lean newspapers rushed to the de-
Tense of the corporation candidate
and declared him innocent, while
Phillips lodged the charge at ev,
cry turn. Gov. Lee and others
interested have been doing a little
investigating since election, with
the result that Phillips guilt has
been pretty thoroughly established.
He has unlawfully taken something
like $4,000 of the peoples CASH
money which should today be tc
the states credit. Thus charges
Gov. Lee in his message, and be
furnishes some of the drafts show
ing the payment of these funds TO
Phillips, the culprit's signature ap.
pearing on the back Of the drafts.
The time for lodging this accuse
tion has passed. Phillips and his
corporation hackers must come ur
to the rack and face the music.
The crime is not only a statutory
one, but the state constitution

Gov. Lee asks that the legisla-
ture choose a com,nitte of investi-
CATION and provide funds for the
prosecution of this defaulting Off
cial. Will the legislature, republi-
a though it is, dare wink at this
ofense and sanction this crime
against the people of this state by
refusing to grant Gov. Lees re
quests? THE UNION believes not.
That Phillips is guilty as charged
that he has unlawfully taken
over 1884, Of public money-,s
a fact already pretty we'll estab-
lished. 1t was established before
election to the satisfaction of so
many honest and loyal South Da-
kotans that Phillips was defeated
for governor.
And in the face of all this Phil
lips proposed to contest Lees
election. Imagine, if you can,
this corporation tool taking a SOL
emn oath to obey the law and up
hold the constitution of the state
from whose taxpayers he had un-
lawfully taken over $4,000! Yet
that is what he did, although he
md his clique of INSCRIPTIONS
supporters have since given up the
task of overthrowing the will Of the
people as expressed in the election
of Andrew E. Lee as governor.
Phillips has been called to the
bar of justice and he will have to
answer for the crookedness which
has characterized his term as state
treasurer. If the republican state
Legislature shall pass by UNDECIDED
the requests of Gov. Lee for a
committee of investigation and
funds for proper prosecution Of
the case, then means will be pro.
vided in other ways to meet the
emergency.
There is no criminally sympa.

Gov. Lee is a man of different met

A SYMPOSIUM OF WRATH

Ed D. Curtis deserves vote Of thanks
from the people Of this state for his ar
raignment OF the petty politicians in
their treatment OF the Second Regiment.
II fills two columns Of Thursdays Or
egonian--solid shot, and fully sustains
all that has been printed ia THE JouR-
NAL.
When the second Oregon enlisted, the
partisan editors, whose heads run 10 a
peak. loudly claimed that they were all
Republicans. The election returns,
with the second Oregon not voting, did
not indicate anything Of the kind. But
the only point we make now is that
loud-mouthed blatant partisanship will
get very little satisfaction out Of Mr..
Curtiss arraignment of the state adj
ministration and the legislature ior its
treatment of the Oregon volunteers, and
II they hear something drop some day
they must not be surprised.
TuE JouRNAL still believes Governor
Gecr would do right II lac knew what is
wanted, or had any advisers who knew
anything. But the most unfortunate act

National Guard Regime IN office and
