The Roosevelt Theory.

But there is theory lately started,
or rather an old one revived, that
war Is good thing in itself; that it
docs nation good to be fighting and
killing the patriot sons Of another
nation, who love their country as we
do ours. We are told that every
strenuous mans life is q battle of one
kind, and that the yirile character
demands some physical belligerehcy.
Yes, every mans life must be to a
great extent fight; but this prepos-
ferrous doctrine would mako every
man prise-fighter.
They say war elicits acts Of hero
ism and self-sacrifice that the country
does not know in the iethargy Of
peace. Heroism and self.sscrifice! |!
There are more heroic and sacriflcial
acts going on in the works of peace
than the brazen throat Of war could
proclaim in q twelvemonth; The
track of every practicing physician is
marked by heroic disregard Of life
that Napoleon's old ghard might envy.
Every fire like that Of Chicago, every
flood like that Of Johnstown, every
plague like that of India, are fields
carpeted with the flowers of heroic
seff-sacritlce, they spring up from the
very graves and ashes. And these
flowers do not have grow up beside
them the poisoned weeds Of self
seeking or corruption, which are sure
to precede, TO attend, to follow every
war The dove Of peace that brings
the leaves of healing does not have
trooping at her wings the vultures
that treat their living soldiers like
carrion. When Lucan has seen
throughout the cataIog of the nation
al miseries that followed the quarrel
of Caesar and Pompey, he winds them
all up in the terrible words, n1ultis
uti1e be1lun,, "war profitable to
every man."
There is now much questioning OF
the propriety Of capital punishment;
it is strongly urged that the state has
no right to take the life even Of a
hardened criminal, whose career has
shown no trace Of humanity or use.
fulness, and has put the capstone of
murder on every other crime. And
yet we are told it is perfectly right to
tale young man Of the highest
prominence, blessing to all " ho
knew him, the very man to live tor
his country, and send him to be cut
down by bullet or by ayscntery in q
cause he cannot approve.-Dr. VIM.

LAND OFFICE RECEIPTS.
Great Increase Reported by Commits
siOneF Hermann.

Great Increase Reported by COmmfs-
siOner Hermann.
large increase Of the work Of the gen.
eral land office is shown by the annual re-
port Of Commissioner Binger Hermann, by
whom 1t is regarded as a result Of the stim-
ulus given to all industries In the country
for a year past.
The total cash receipts of the land office
for the past year amount to $4379, 75S,
which is an increase over the previous year
Of s1.3O9 621. and over the fiscal year of
1898 Of s., 1O1 ,763.
There was a proportionate increase in the
amount Of land disposed of. the total this
year amounting to 13.453. .SS7 acres, an in
crease Of 100000 acres over the previous
year. The homestead entries for the year
aggregated S47S 400 acres, an increase of
2,3OO, 800 acres over the previous year.
There has been also large increase for the
year in the number Of final homestead en-
tries made.
There has been decrease in the number
of mineral land entries made during the
year, but this is to be accounted for largely
by the number Of suspensions. notably in
Colorado and Montana, under late rulings
made by the Secretary Of the Interior.
While there has been a diminution in the
number of mineral land entries in general,
there has been an increase in the number
of patents issued upon coal land entries.
Important work has been accomplished
In the forestry division. Two Of the exist
ing forest reserves-the Prescott reserve in
Arizona and the Big Horn in Wyoming
have been enlarged by 423, $50 acres and
1.1SO.SOO acres, respectively. The Olympic
forest reserve in Washington has been re-
duced by 1,923, $40 acres, in response to the
urgent requests OF representative citizens
and commercial bodies in that state on the
ground that the reserve included q great
deal Of valuable agricultural land which
had been entered upon by bona f1de settlers.
One new reserve was created, that Of Santa
Ynez. in Southern California, comprising
145, 900 acres OF land. The object Of the
reservation was to protect the watershed
upon which a number Of thriving commune
ties depend for their water supply.
Temporary withdrawals have been made
in q number Of cases to insure them from
disposal pending the necessary investigation
prior to their appropriation for forest re-
serves or national parks. These include
the Petrif1ed Forest withdrawal in Arizona
and the Mammoth Tree withdrawal in Cal
ifornia, an extension Of tho Yellowstone
National Park, with q view to further pro-
tecting the big game conserved there the
Wind Cave withdrawal in South Dakota
and number OF other Withdrawals Of local
interest, made for the purpose Of protect
ing timber from destruction and the con-
servation OF the local water supply. There
are now q total Of thirty-eight forest res
ervations under the act OF 1891. embracing
an estimated area Of 40. TT, ,129 acres.

Imperialism Now, Money Issue Later.
80 far as this state is concerned, and SO
far as my knowledge extends, the issue that
is being and will be most talked about on
the stump is the issue Of imperialism, but
the issue that will have the most influence
in determining the choice OF our citizens Is
and will be the money question. SO soon
as our people are made to clearly under
stand the true import Of the charge OF i'm
perialism made by the democrats that soon
will that issue lose its influence. The re-
publican party is one which has always 1ul-
filled its promises. 1t will do SO this time.

form and say to our people. The chief
planks in that platform have been trans

merchant marine must be provided for by
suitable legislation. A good start has al

at the short session of Congress appropr1a-
tions will be made for all these great and
necessary enterprises. To the candid mind
the course of the party in the past has been
such as to win support for itself In the
future.
Republican Party Has Fought Trusts.
'.It can point back to the st. Louis plat
which has heretofore succeeded in placing

Of the democratic party while 1t was in con-
troll Of all branches Of the government dur

a greater share Of income and OF profits
than ever before.
AN undoubted proof Of this condition Is
found in the report Of our state bank ex-
aminer for the fiscal year ending Decem-
Der 2, 1880. His report shows that the
total resources of all state banking instttu-
uons amounted to over $50, 600, 900, as COM
pared to $41. coo 600 in 1896. The total num-
Der OF depositors in state banking institu-
tons for the fiscal year just ended was
1oS,SO and the average amount for each
depositor was S34407. The increase in the
aggregate Of all the resources in all bank
Ing institutions Of the state. including ma
uonal banks. in 1889 over 1888 amounted to
SIS, 1928. The examiner in his report
makes use Of the following language: The
increase in deposits and volume of business
is unparalleled in the banking history of
the state and the increase in the number OF
banks Is the largest in years.
The report Of our state labor stattstictan
adds further proof Of our prosperity in this
wise: The average yearly increase paid to
workers In 1900 establishments was S3s6 ti3
in 1896 and s42O.50 in 1885, making an in
crease of S23S7. While the average num-
ber Of days worked in 1896 was 263 40 If
had increased in 1899 to PSI 80 the increase
amounting to 1875 days Everywhere o,,r

An employe Of the Laurel Cotton Mills

fatal accident Wednesday morning at the
companys plant in this town while en-
gagged In his line Of duty. The man. whose
name Is Johnson. was working about some
machinery and was caught in a rapidly

he received severe cuts about the face ana

was taken to his home, where medical at

Of the accident has but little show of re-

this year vote the republican presidential
ticket. They have not been terrified by the
phantom Of Imperialism.
THE reaffirmation of the doctrine Of the
free coinage Of silver has had tendency
of confirming in their faith the democrats
who stayed with us four years ago. After
the adoption of this plank by the conven-
ton at Kansas City 1t was quite generally
remarked that the democrats had made
mistake, so far at least as this state was
concerned. and I think that the results OF
the election will confirm the truth OF TINS
remark. Bryan stated in his speech at
Knoxville in 1894. in effect, that the gold
standard would not be maintained In this
country longer than he was able to get rid
of it. This declaration has disclosed to our
people the true, paramount, as well as Inn
mediate, issue Of this campaign.
DANGEROUS POpulistic-Democrat Pa
ternalism.
"Since its adoption Of the Chicago plat
form in 1895 the democratic party has fallen
away from it's ancient ideals and traditions;
has ignored and even slandered Its former
leaders and stands today the exponent and
defender Of socialism and populisn The
democrat Of former days hated paternalism.
the democrat Of today believes in the own
ership and control of our great public utill-
ties It seems like the height Of irony for
Mr. Bryan to talk Of the consent OF the
governed, and at the same time dictate to
the national convention its platform and It's
policy.
.The majority of the people of our state,
having In mind the conditions under which
our island possessions were obtained, are In
favor Of expansion. and even our German
citizens and citizens Of foreign birth who
dread enforced military service and would
fear genuine imperialism are nevertheless
great traders and shrewd men of business,
who have readily comprehended the i'm
mense gain to the business and commerce
Of the United States by our acquisition and
control Of the Philippine Islands. Their
immigration to this country does not render
them wholly insensible to the feelings which
prevail in the fatherland on the question Of
trade expansion. Personally I am a firm
believer In the expansion which came to US
within the last two years as a result Of the
Spanish war. We are not q race OF cow
ards, but people who are willing to meet
the responsibilities which have been thrust
upon us by the treaty of Paris.

lem and In his conduct OF the affairs OF
state throughout that war, and In the more
recent troubles In China. President Mo
Kinley has displayed unusual tadk, keen
foresight and rare wisdom. Democrats are

COMING LEGISLATURE MAY Or
CAME ALONG THE LINES
OF THE LAST ONE
SOME BILLS TO BE PUSHED
Necessary Appropriations Will Be
Heavier Than They Have Here
tOfore Been Wolf BOun-
ty a Luxury.

PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 12-(Special) y
1t looks more and more, as time goes by,
as if the organization of the coming ses-
sion of the legislature would be on the
same lines as the last session. This
would mean Sommers for speaker and
Bower for chief clerk of the house, and
Scriven for secretary of the senate. Cone,
of Sioux Falls, will do llis best to secure
the speakership, but if, as alleged, Bower
comes as a candidate of the Black Hills
section, with the backing of seven out of
the nine representatives from that sec
ton, he will pretty nearly land. Cone
claims the Endorsement of the Minnehaha
county delegation, and with that would
have a good basis to work on, but it IS
also alleged that this Endorsement has
number of strings to it which are held
by the applicants for minor positions
who are numerous from that county
and who will throw all their influence
| for Bower to give them clear field.
An effort is being made to organize IN
opposition to the Sonlmers movement,
but it has not yet crystalized sufficiently
| to settle upon any one man as yet.
The necessary appropriations of the
coming session will be probably the heav-
| lest which any session of the legislature
of the state has been called upon to make,
and this will tend to shut out any ex-
traordinary expenditure which may be
| asked of the legislature. The st. Louis
! exposition people will ask for assistance,
! but under the circumstances will hardly
get it,
Bills will be pushed for reorganization
Of the militia; township local option for
allowing stock to run at large for certain
months in the year; for state stock in
spection, and to repeal the present wolf
bounty, which has run about $50, goo be-
hind the appropriation of $1,000 per year
in two years time, and which is rather
an expensive luxury for the state.
