Mr.. Bryan's topic was, "A Conscience

He said in part.
The word campaign suggests war.
fare. 1t is good tactics TO strike the
enemy where he is weakest. and to use
the weapons which are most effective.
The weak point OF every bad policy is
that it sacrifices human rights to sell
fish interests, and today sto prove a
system evil we only have to show that
IL violates that of justice that Is
satisfied with nothing less than equal
rights to all ana special privileges to
none. The only appeal that is perrna-

in it's usefulness is the appeal to con

The great issue at his time is the issue
tween man and mammon; between
plutocracy and democracy. All surface
results OF policy of taxation and OF reg
ulation and of finance are but phases
OF h a century long, that worldwide
struggle between the ommon people
and organized wealth. TO say that 1t
does not pay for a nation TO violate
the rights OF the people of another ma
ton involves so much of addition, Sub-
traction, multiplication and division
that many get lost in Il maze of math-
ematics. But to say that the wages
of sin is death" is to give an epitorne of
history that accorGs With ench persons

with finance, with labor problems and
with all the other questions at issue we
must view them from n moral stand

Agent for Cheyenne Agency.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 9.-Ira Hatch
Will retain his position as agent for the
United States at Cheyenne agency,
South Dakota. President Roosevelt has
inserted his oar in the political sea in
the interest OF MI. Hatch and the COM
missioner of Indian affairs who had, it
is said, practically promised to scalp
Mr. Hatch, Will not be able to deliver
the goods. 1t has been an open secret
that Horner & Stewart n Congress-
man Burke of Pierre, have been brsily
attempting to get Mr.. Hatch out of his
position for some months and for the
reason that Mr.. Hatch would not, as
agent make contracts for the grazing
lands in the Indian country, which
Lands belong to the Indians and over
which he as agent had control. The
fierre coterie of lawyers wanted these
lands to be leased to some of their
cilents, no matter what other men
wanted them or what price any other
man offered and they Informed Mr..
fiatch OF their desires. He declined to
comply With their requests and they
made threats. Mr.. Hatch retaliated by
telling them that he would see to it
that Pierre did not secure certain ap-
preparations at the hands Of the last
legislature which she very much de-
SSidS pioSSS llitt L :.
aatch kept his word because the APP
p~ropriations were not made. Then the
Plerre gentlemen went after Mr..
tiatch's scalp and it is said they had
the promise of Indian Commissioner
Jones that Mr.. Hatch would be re-
moved. Charges of some nature were
hled and Mr.. Hatch was informed that
II ne would resign it would be very
pleasing to the commissioners. But Mr..
Hatch wanted to know why his resig-
nation was demanded and when the
commissions failed to make more
specific charges Mr.. Hatch asked q
friend of his in Washington to go to
Mr. Roosevelt and state the case. That
friend executed that mission and when
the president hears what he had to say
ne promptly Informed the commissioner
OF Indian affairs that Mr.. Hatch would
not be disturbed in his position at
cheyenne. And now Congressman
burke OF Pierre has another doubtful
precinct confronting him SO that when
ne comes up for denomination to sue
ceed himself the majority of the votes
winch he will receive over MI. Herried
will not be SO large.

and Is Arrastad.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 1.-THE arrest
of a supplemented young man named
Edwin Everhart, who for some time
had been in the employ of 4 farmer iiv-
ing near Sioux Falls. discloses an in
teresting story. Last summer Everhart
entered the employ of the farmer. With
whom he made 4 contract that for six
months services he was to he given
his employers daughter, who was a
little over 16 years Of age. The six
months recently expired, when Ever
hart learned that another Young man
had a stronger claim than himself ppon
the affections of the girl. This appar-
emily did not worry him much, for in
lieu of the girl he decided to appro-
PIRATE one of his employers ponies,
thinking this would be satisfactory to
the farmer and compensate himself for
his six months work. After he sold the
pony the farmer had him arrested on
the charge OF horse stealing. when The
terms of the unique contract between
them We're revealed.
