THE PASSING OF PopULIsM.

The democratic state commit
tee met at Sioux Falls last week
and selected Hnron as the place
for holding their state conyen-
ton Tund %. An address is
to be prepared, invitiugall vot-
ers opposed to the republican
party to Join the democrats in
caucus andconvention. Thus the
masque finally falls of and all
"reformers" are to be gathered
in the old simon-pure democratic
party. In speaking Of this action
the Huron Huronite says
"This action on the part Of the
committee is a deathblow to the
populist party, so long domi-
nant over the democrats and
partly victorious, over the repub-
leans in this state.
The committee evidently con.
clude that all those opposed to
republican principles favor dem
ocratic principles and that the
democraticrank will be increased
by the old-time populist voters.
In this the committee and the
democratic party will be doomed
to bitter disappointment. Many
of the populists will not be de
livered into the democratic par
ty, but will return to the repub-
lican party from which they sep
arated under conditions brought
about by democratic rule. These
conditions have changed since
1926. and the republican party
since its advent into power has
brought about industrial, COM
mercial and monetary conditions
which have revolutionized
domestic affairs and brought
prosperity throughout the whole
breadth of the United States.
Demand for labor has increased,
wages have advanced, farm Pro-
ducts have doubled in value,
lands have trebled and the agri-
cultuy;st as a class is as prosper
Gus as at any time in the history
OF the country. Therefore, the
populist who was led away from
the republican party by the de-
pressed condition Of the demo-
cratic period heretofore referred
TO, having seen his. mistake will
return to the party whose gov
ernmental policies have restored
prosperity rather than to be led
into the democratic party which
was responsible for the impover-
ished condition that faced the
country when William Mckinley
was first chosen president.
Ifis more than likely that this
state will give larger republi-
can majority than at any time
since statehood, and that the
popul st party has passed away
forever"

SHAW VS. THE BANKS.

Secretary Shaw has poromptly
shown that he has the nerve and
the disposition to manage his
Office in the interest Of the gov
eminent solely and without re-
ference to the wishes of the nat
ional banks. When ne found
that owing to the stiff premium
on United States bonds the
banks were retiring their circula-
ton in order to sell bonds and
they were also retiring their
notes in order to use the bonds
on which their notes were based
to secure government deposits,
he promptly announced that the
government would buy no more
bonds and that it would deposit
no more money with banks act
ing in this way. Such an indie
pendent policy will doubtless be
a severe shock to the banks but
the people will applaud the new
secretary.-Argus Leader.
