If Rev. A. 9. Shepherd has any
thing on which to base his state
ments recently made concerning the
conduct Of certain professors in state
colleges he will have an opportunl ty
to present it in a different form.
Last week Gov. Herried took cog
@nizance Of what Mr.. Shepherd said
in his pulpit and addressed him a
letter asking for more detailed and
specific information on the charges
preferred. Had MIR. Shepherd in
formed the governor of what he knew
in the first place there would have
been a great deal of trouble saved
and Mr.. Shepherds efforts would
have been praised instead Of criti-
cized as they are at present.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
FRIDAY, MAY %, 1903.

The Brookings Register refers to
the charges of Rev. A. G. Shepherd,
Of Canton, as having been made in
the Methodist church in this city.
The Register got its information
from the wrong source. The rever-
end gentleman was in his own pull
pit at Canton when he made the
charges against the state college pro-
fessors.

Better Than a Platform Pledge.

Various contemporaries in the Uni

reform ukase with the assertion that
it will mount to nothing unless the
reforms are properly put Into effect.
They have not, however, gone SO far
as to claim that the ukase is no more
binding than a platform pledge OF our
own happy land.

Mr.. Rose ofIowa Pleads For a Return to
t "God, Nature and Right"
Editor Independent: I am in re-
ceipt of marked copy of your excellent
paper in which you accuse the Asso-
ciated press of making an incorrect re-
port of the proceedings OF the Iowa
peoples party convention held last fall
in Des Moines This time, however,
the press is not to blame. The report
is correct. Paragraph was written
by myself and handed to the commit
tee on resolutions and originally read
as follows:
1--WE demand that the right to elect,
both as to who shall be public Off
cials and what shall be the public
policy in government, shall be con-
served to the people and that all forms
or systems evasive of this right shall
be repealed"
The committee made the changes
because Q presume) they thought they
knew how English should be writ"
better than I. Corrections were not
made, and those in convention must
stand for it.
am opposed to the referendum. The
United States constitution vests all
legislative author rity, which is the
same thing as the right to elect. in a
congress. Contrary to this, God Al
mighty or nature vests this authority
in the people. I stand for full re-
tnrn to God. nature and right. If we
do this we will have no congress and
hence no body TO refer. Unconstitu-
tional and revolutionary? So is the
initiative and referendum unconstitu-
tional and revolutionary. ard if we are
going to revolnte we had much better
revolnte and be done with it.
Besides that. once we know what Is
right in government and have the
courage to fashion orr policy accord
insly. we will have inst as little use
for congress and legislatures here on
earth as God ha.: for such things in
heaven. At any rate. let us he wise
and make our platform consistent
with the declaration "Ennal rights TO
all. and special privileges to none"
will enclose copv of one OF this
hind. and Won are at liberty to publish
II. providing Won are not afraid OF the
discussion that NAV follow. Those OF
us alreadv standing for this platform
would be clad to hear from anv who
dare stand with us.

are the foolish and never ceaslng cries
of partisans. Freedom by the best
means possible and all means subor-
dinate to freedom" says the single
taxer. Our troubles are due to too
much drugging-t too much lawmaking.
Don't see what new laws you can
make, what new drugs you can give.
See what laws you can abolish, what
drugs you can withdraw. 1t is time
enough to make new laws and give
new drugs when you find that you
need them. Give the man, give the
people, chance to get along without
them.
First, the single taxer would abol-
ish all the laws that put taxes direct
ly or indirectly on the product of
human laber-that is to say, upon the
laborer. The taking of a mans labor
by taxes is like taking his blood. Sup
pose we had law that for every five
drops-or every fifty, the rate is un-
important-that for every fifty drops
of blood man got from his food,
one drop should be taken by tax
collector, and if the food came from a
foreign country, two drops of blood
should be taken. How long would we
suffer this law on our statute books?
Yet this is the practical effect of our
tariff and personal property tax laws.
Abolishing tariff and personal prop
erty taxes, the tax on land values
or, as | prefer to call 1t, the ground
rent tax-would remain to defray the
expenses of necessary government.
The single taxer would rest here and
observe the effect before making his
next proposition but that proposition
would be to abolish some bad law not
as yet to make any new ones.

JUST THE TICKET.

The gentle muse has seized unon
the editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel,
and he sings the following pean on
the PRESIDENT:
Back to washington he io,lrneycd
Back he hustled to the White House.
With peace pipe in his pocket.
With a badger on his shoulder.
With hundred cleaning medals.
Made of silver, gold and copper.
Brass. aluminium and leather:
With toy canoe of birch bark.
Hunting knives. bow and arrows,
And dozen deadly pistols
And rifle and shotgun
And a muzzle loading musket
And a bunch of golden nuggets
And a few assorted wa paints.
Green and yellow. blue and crimson:
Buckskin suits he had in carloads.
Moccasins and mounted wild cats
Grizzlies. coyotes, pumas, wood
chucks,
Moose and elk and mink and beaver.
N massive trunk he carried
Many thousand fattering photos
Of a host Of twins and tripets,
aanded him by hopeful parents,
All of whom were fondly praying,
AS they handed him the pictures
OF the red and squalling infants,
That he would, perhaps, present them
With potion of his plumber.
With these gifts and many others.
Far too numerous to mention.
Back to Washington he journeyed.
Back he hustled to the White House!'
