Congress will vote upon the con-

Gen. Wood on January 4th. The
charges against Wood seem to have
vanished like morning dew. The
investigating committee are said
to be unanimously in favor Of his
confirmation. 1t is true that Gen.
Wood has been advanced over the
heads Of some of his superior mill
tary officers and it is not strange
that men trained In the military
schools and used to fixed rules
of procedure, should resent any
deviation from those rules, but tc

ties marked by such towns as Red
field, Aberdeen and Watertown. +"
This is good advice, but to be just
and fair Bro. Bennett should have
called attention to the fact that ev-
cry person living in this prosper
GUS section is over fifty miles near
er to Mitchell than to Pierre, and
must always remain nearer no
matter what railroad connections
may be built in the future. In
fact he might have gone even
farther and called attention to the
fact that even as far west as Mil
Ter, in Hand county, the people
are as near to Mitchell as to Pierre.

In the recent history of the vast

one fact stands out wildly: the
day Of speculation and experiment

ness progress, based on plans Of
permanency, has succeeded it.
This great underlying feature Of
the plains region, which means SO
much for any section, is potent
with promise. It meant q great
deal when the Western people
ceased talking about going "back
East and began to invite their
Eastern friends to visit them. 1t

The annual report of Commis-
sioner Sherwood shows a falling of
in the numbero Of creameries il .ss
Grafton in this state during the
past pear from 153 to 13O. MI.
Sherwood does not attribute the
decrease to lack Of interest among
the farmers but thinks it was due
to the unfavorable winter which
left many Of the COWS in poor con
dition. This may be the reason
in some sections, butin this part
Of the state it seems rather to be
caused by the practice Of shipping
cream to large central factories to
the detriment of the local plants.

The Armour Herald makes the
assertion that the prosperous coun-
ties Of the state are the counties
where the political parties are even
ly dfvided-wher a nomin alton is
not equivalent to an election.
In theory the assertion Of the
Herald is very good, but the actual
facts hardly justify it. Douglas
county, the home Of the Herald,
where the political parties are very
evenly divided, has bonded in
debtedness Of $4,000, and the
county tax levy in 1908 was s mills.
In Hutchinson county, one Of the
strongest. republican counties in
the state, there is no bonded in
debtedness, and the tax levy was
6.5 mills; in Turner county, which
gave the last republican governor
1928 majority, there are no out
standing bonds, and the tax levy
was As mills; and in Lincoln coun-
ty, which gave the republican gov
ernor 1920 majority, there are 10
bonds and the county tax levy was
only 3.5 mills.
The Herald further says: "When
we think of the boodling at Wash
ington we must apply the principle
there also-a change in the nation
al administration would turn the
rascals out" Here also the Herald
is treading on dangerous ground.
The investigation of this boodling
at Washington shows that it has
been going on for many years.
That some of the boodlers held
their Offices under civil service
rules all through the Cleveland ad-
ministration without being mo-
Tested, while some of the worst of
them received their first appoint
ments from President Cleveland.
1t is the present administration
that is turning the rascals out, .
and it would be very poor policy
to change it whiie the house ciean-
ing is going on.
