A Deed of Daring,

When the history Of the late war
with Spain is fully written it will con-
tain chronicles Of deeds of heroism
greater than were ever known In any
war in the history of man: deeds that
would be the envy OF ancient heroes Of
Greecian and Roman empires, IL they
could appear on earth to hear them.
For instance, it comes to light that
a high private in Co. G, OF Yankton,
Of the South Dakota volunteers, per-
formed an act recently in Luzon that
should enroll his name on the scroll
Of fame along with those Dewey,
Funston, Hebson and others who
have gained such wide notoriety and
and popularity. For dash and daring,
this private, whose name 10 Halman,
holds the record. The American for
ces IN their march on the enemy came
to the river over which hung bridge,
not far from which the insurgent for
ces were strongly entrenched. Upon
the approach OF the Americans the
rebels set fire to the bridge. As 1t
was the only means Of crossing to the
attack Of the snemy's position 1t be-
came necessary for some one to put out
the fire and this South Dakota boy,
without orders and with a reckless
ness born Of perfect indifference to
death, dashed out from the lines Of
the South Dakota regiment, crossed
the bridge on run In the face Of a
concentrated fire from the rebel tren-
chss, and still under fire whipped out
the flames which had but Just com
|menced TO burn the bridge. A person
might suppose that after this act he
would have sought q place Of safety
but he didn't. Having accomplished
the work OF putting out the fire he
cody turned and began firing on the
rebels, and kept at IL until his COM
rades rushed across the bridge and
put them to flight. In recognition OF
of his deed Gen. Otis advanced him
TO a lieutenant. Talk about the
Greeks having held the pass Of Their.
mopylae in ancient days. Talk about
any other deed Of bravery that hai
been handed down history. Nothing
that has ever been done In war ex'
ceeds the courage and daring of Pri'
vate Halman, an American volunteer,
a boy reared on the prairies OF South
Dakota. and only one among many
others in the same ranks who are only
waiting like opportunity to show
their fearlessness and their devotion
to the flag. When the boys come
marching home this young man
should be signaled ont for special
ovation by his countrymen his state
and nation. He deserves something
better than lieutsnant's s commission

Some Presidential Candidates.

The Democratic party has several sorts
OF troubles which are much more dam
gefous 10 II than the weak head of it's
national committee 1t has the poorest
scrt of candidate which any great
party ever had In this country, and it
lacks votes. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
This sweeping assertion challenges the
lever of truth to a glance into history.
We take it that the expression, poorest
sort of candidate" means the least fit
ted for the office II has no relation tc
Issues. but applies solely to the quail
man for the successful performance of
the duties OF the highest place under our
system. Everybody knows who and what
Nj. Bryan is. The mere fact that. al
though he has been almost constantly
before the people ever since his defeat
in 1896, he is still the most popular man
in his party end reasonably certain of
denomination is a sufficient attestation
Of his intellectual and moral strength.
1t may we'll be doubted II the country ever
had another man who could have borne
so well as he has done the test TO which
he has been subjected
Who will claim that the Wkig party
in 1913 had in Gen. Taylor or in 1852 had in
Gen. Scott candidate so well qualified
for the Presidency as Mr.. Bryan is? VINO
will venture the assertion that the Re-
publican party in its first national cam.
pSign had in Gen. Fremont a filter can
didate than Mr.. Bryan? Great as was
and is and always will be the fame Of
Gen. Grant, the hero of Appomattox, the
idol of his countrymen, 1t would be folly
to assert that he was a suitable eandi-
date for the Presidency. Availability, not
fitness, dictated that nomination, as il
has many others. In 1864 the Democrats
nominated George b. Mcclellan, and in
1880 Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, neither
of whom had given any indication of pos.
sessing those qualifications that are in
dispensable 10 a Presidential outfit. And
what sort of a candidate was Horace
Greeley? The field has not been exhaust
ed by these citations, but Ugh has
been produced to show that candidates are
generally selected with view to getting

We call the attention of all worthy and

Civil Service Commission has now includ-

ment OF the messenger boys. Long have
we wondered that a philosophy which en-
braces not only the clerks, but the jani-
of the public service, should have neg
lected these poor and friendless messenger
boys, and left them solely to the base stand
ards of common sense reliability, and
bicycle aptness. How often We have been
afflicted by messenger boys who were EVIL

habitually wiped their noses on their

Appealing to Race Prejudice.

The decision of the Iowa Democrats to
relegate the financial question and make
opposition to so-called imperialism the
main issue of the campaign is based uron
the belief that tne1arge number of voters
in that State who are of German extrac-
ton will support their ticket. The Iowa
Democratic leaders are ifhpI eesed with
the magnitude Of the question as vote
maker, and In arriving at this conclusion
it is necessary for them to regard the
voters to whom they appeal as being very
narrow-minded and un-American. In or
der to present the question OF imperial
ISM il will be necessary for the Iowa
Democrats to misrepresent the attitude
of the administration and it may be rath-
er difficult for them 10 do this with any
degree of success right up TO the time
the voting begins.
The voters of Iowa who are described
as German-Americans are to be told by
the Democratic orators ard the Demo-
cratic newspapers that 1t is the ultimate
intention of the administration to form
an alliance with England. 1t will be re-
called that the Hon. Joseph Bailey, the
dilettante leader of the Democrats in the
House of Representatives, some time ago
made a complete expose Of the hopes of
the administration in this direction, and
this in itself is sufficient proyOcation for
the Iowa Democrats to assume that the
details of the plot have all been arranged,
and that it is only waiting contamination.
With this sort of ammunition at his
disposal, the Hon. Fred White is TO go
about the State and set up an Anglo
American scarecrow in every voting pre-
cinct, and this particular class Of voters
will be expected to become panic-stricken.
Perhaps in its present condition the
Democratic party can afford to do almost
anything. but it IS quite certain that
there was a time when the men who were
recognized as its leaders would not dare
go so far as TO attempt to divide the
voters of the country upon racial lines.
BY setting up such false issues as the
Iowa Democrats are experimenting with,
the people of the United States who love
their country above their party are prac-
ticaIIy dared to vote en- masse. and it is
not idle 10 assert that this class Of peo-
pie, no matter what country their an
cestors may have come from, constitute
an overwhelming majority of the cleo
torate. However. IL is no. az all likely
that the Iowa Democrats win make prog
ress enough TO bring about such a state
OF affairs. The Iowa voters. whose FORE
fathers were subjects OF the Kaiser. pos
sess sufficient intelligence to see through
such campaign material They have never
faltered In their devotion 10 this country
In any crisis of the past, and 1t is rather
late in the day for them to begin that
sort of thing.
