EULoGY OF MARCUS 4. HANNA.

Since we last assembled, death has
called to his reward one, who bv sheer
force OF character had risen 10 hip h
and honorable position la both the
business and political world. He en-
joyed the confidence OF both labor and
capital Ia a degree never equalled un-
der like circumstances. Al one time
mallgned by political opponents and
assaIled and caricatured by u brutal
press, he lived TO become the idol of a
great party, TO be recognized as man
OF the highest and truest character,
and to enjoy the supreme confidence
of all classes alike. Long before death
removed him from his useful career
he had but one ambition. He hoped
| 10 use his position as president Of the
civic federation 10 improve the condi
tion ofihe toilers for wage; to lighter
the burdens Of the bread winners and
TO promote friendly relations between
employer ana employee. He sought te
have capital and labor look upon the
| problems Of life from common view
point. TO effect these achievements
was his great and noble ambition
Marcus A. Hanna is enshrined Ia The
hearts oil his countrymen and as loya
friend Of the people of South DAKOTA
as he was Of the people everywhere
this convention pays sad and loving
tribn d to his memory and extends Il
his widow The sympathy which in oul
hearfs we truly feel.

REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM
Adopted at sions Fan. May 4ta, iei.

Adopted af Si0Mx Falls May 4th, 1914.
We, the republicans OF South Dako.
ta, in convention assembled, felicitate
ourselves and extend congratulations
to the American people on the unex-
ampled prosperity Of the country In
which our people in all avocations Of
life are participating This prosperity,
enjoyed by all, is the result of the in
telligent industry Of our people, which
always thrives under the protection OF
wise legislation administered by pro-
gressive and patriotic party. A mere
recital OF the conditions which pre-
vailed during the last democratic ad-
ministration would be sufficient to pro-
duce a shadder In every community.
A party responsible for these condi-
tions should not again be intrusted
with power. Under republican admin
istrations hope has succeeded despair,
the national credit has been restored,
labor has found ready and and profit
able employment, capital has felt Sc
cure and sought investment, the ener-
giles OF our people have been awakened,
and prosperity has come and remained
10 bless our people who only 80 recent
" were engaged In q struggle for ex-
istenee SO desperate that the very
foundations OF the government were
shaken. The memory OF man is short.
but there 10 no apprehension that the
present generation has forgotten. or
will forget, the substantial difference
between progressive republicaDism and
retrogressive democracy.
PRESIDENT T ROOSEVELT
Our standard bearer for 1904 is al
ready selected, and the unswerving
hand now at the helm OF the ship of
state Is assured until March 4, 1909.
We endorse most heartily the wise and
patriotic administration Of Theodore
Roosevelt. Under him have continued
the policies Of Mckinley which are the
essence OF republicanism. Under the
leadership OF Theodore Roosevelt the
nation has reached more command
ing position among the civilized pow
ers OF the world than ever before in our
history. Ills administration has ex-
tended the area OF our trade and COM
mercs and carried to the islands of the
sea the protection OF our flag and the
blessings and fostering care OF free
government. Ia Theodore Ro0se-
welt the American people have q chief
executive who administers the laws
without reference to special interests.
He is the president OF all our people.
With him law is supreme and SO far as
in his duty lies 1t IL enforced with Inn
partiality for all. Capital and labor
alike are subject to the supreme law OF
the land, and under his administration
each has just protection. In Theodore
Roosevelt we recognize the true type
of American manhood. He Is wise,
just, brave and fearless, and la the dis
charge of his onerous public trust he Is
ever mindful OF the obligations impos-
ed by it. The delegates which this
convention will send to represent the
republicans of South Dakota in the ma
tioual convention at Chicago, June 81
next, are instructed TO cast their votes
for his nomination as his own success
or.

PROJECTION.

We reaffirm the national republican
platform of 1900, and in this year OF
jubilee Of republicanism we renew our
loyalty to the republican party in state
and nation, and particularly do we af-
firm our allegience to the well settled
republican doctrine Of protection TO
American labor and manufactures,
which policy has promoted intelli-
gence, encouraged industry and FOSTER
ed patriotism among our people.
Under the policy OF protection our peo-
Pile are better paid, better fed, better
clothed and better housed than they
ever were before 10 the history OF this
country, and their condition, in all re.
spects, is better today under republican
legislation than Ii ever was before In
this, or In any other country Ia the
history Of the world. Under republi
can domination OF national affairs q
continuation Of these happy conditions

TERNoR HERREID AND OUR SU-
PREME COURT JUDGES.

We commend the administration of
Governor Charles N Herreid and those
who have been associated with him in
the conduct OF state affairs. We take
pride in the fact that the public bust
ness OF the state has been conducted
with economy, ability and honesty and
that our young commonwealth Is fast
assuming her appropriate place In the
sisterhood of states.
We heartily endorse the judges Of
the supreme court who by their high
character and ability have reflected
great credit upon the Judiciary and
jurisprudence of the state.
We believe that high standard Of
civic virtue and ability should be made
a requisite to election or appointment
TO positions of public trust In the state
and nation, and pledge our unswerving
support to all efforts to the end that
such standard may at ali times be
established and maintained.

 The Mission of the Seventy.
 Save for my daily range
 Among the pleasant fields of Holy Wrlt'
 l might despair. -Iennysoh'
 IT, the last six months of His ministry and life, Jesus made a systematic and oetermined effort to announce His Mes s'abship to the whole nation. Evidence is not wanting that He had well-de- fined plan of operation and that the thor ouGhIy Oriental and consequently spec tacular ''triumphal entrance" to Jerusa- len was the denouement of the wnole' h this plan the mission of the seventy Is an important feature. There is an un- doubted significance in the number. AS Jesus had the twelve patriarchs Tn mlno when He appointed the apostles, He had the seventy elders of Israel in view when He appointed these evangelists It IS also an old tradition (see Genesis x) that th. number of the nations was seventy as the number of metallic substances Is also supposed to be. The time of this circumstance was also the Feast Of Tab ernacles, at which seventy bullocks were offered As the Talmud says, there were seventy bullocks to correspond with the seventy nations of the world. Some trou- blo however. tt must be admitted, has arisen from regarding the seventy as fixed number, and as a constantly active circle, besides the twelve and exclusive Of them. As St. Luke is the only one who tells of the appointment of the seventy 1t has been inferred that he himself was one of the number. It is gratifying to krcw that Jesus had so large number of men attached to His cause who were competent for such a commission. It Is a gauge of growth in the kingdom.
 Although this special heralding of the Messiah was somewhat formal, Jesus un- coubtedly earnestly desired that the peo- rle would be moved to accept Him. IT has been said that the seventy were a net of love thrown out into Israel. The spe- cal sphere of their operation was the trans-Jordanic district, which had hither-

Feeding Railroads With Motor Cars

Feeding Railroads With Motor Cars.
 English railways are beginning to tn- troduce large motor cars as feeders for their lines in lieu of the more expensive branch lines or trAmways. The autos are used where traffic Is large enough to be worth while, but Is not sufficient to warrant any heavy expenditure.
 One of the first railroads to make use Of motor cars is the Great Western Rail- way Between Slough Station and Bea- consfield 1t has placed in service recently a number of heavy cars
 The cars carry from fourteen to sixteen passengers. besides having plenty of ac- commodations for parcels and baggage ulation omnibus type. and the motive power is petrol. With stops, it takes about one hour to make the distance of eight miles between the end stations, but it is expected that this time will be re- duced considerably. The cars have to climb some pretty steep hills. but as the engines are twenty-horse power four cylinder machines, they have proved themselves equal to this task, although one of the hills has grade of one in six.
 The trip each way is made three times a day-morning. noon and evening-apd there are connections with fast trains rather than with locals. The fare for the eight mile trip is 25 cents. but the lowest Twenty-four-ride tickets are sold for $5. If the undertaking should prove as ad- vantageous as now seems probable. the service will be increased and perhaps ex- tended. Besides this motor car line, the Great Western also operates a similar line between Halston and the Lizard. while others are in contemplation.

Artistic circles in Germany and Aus tria are much interested in the latest piece of work of Teresa Feodorowna Ries. young and gifted sculptor of Vienna. The young woman is looked upon in Vienna as one of the most pro- missing artists, and for originality of conception she stands pre-eminent among her contemporaries in the Aus trian capital.
 She has strong religious tendencies, and her work as she herself expresses It. is to depict the great problems of life and immortality in manner that will impress the most simple and low ly. and in her latest work. "The Soul Returns to God" this is marvellously

TAanhsr,s Lantern.

By one fine stroke, Jesus shows His Fathers relation to the human mass in this world. There is no tinge of the Ro- man idea of emperor or judge. Human ity is precious as a ripe harvest. God is its Owner. He is intent upon garner ing 1t.
 - Is the ministry an overstocked profess sicn? Has the need of praying for. more laborers passed? The question has been answered affirmatively in current litera- ture Increase of ministry has been snown to be out of propo rtion to iD- crease of communicants. Competition for a living in the ministry becomes pathetic.
 Drummond has met this present-day is- sue in his New Evangelism" published since his death.
 Each age requires a gospel for itself The things which stirred mems minds two centuries ago fail to do so now. Vital religion under present methods of preach ing declines. The very nature of truth demands from time to time Q new evan gelism. Theology is thing that moves There is progress in truth itself What was the new theology of the seventeenth century is the theology of the nineteenth century only on one condition-that the age has not grown.
 The conception of God under the old evangelism was vague; that of Christ was verse. He was theological Person. His function was to adjust matters between the hostile kingdoms of heaven and earth. Religion said, Christ, our Life: - theology said. Christ. our Logic The truths of the New Evangelism are not to be conveyed to the people in the proposi- ticnal form An infallible tandard is a temptation to mechanical faith. Few minds really take truth in theological form. Truth Is to be absorbed, not bolt ed. The leading faculty of the new theology is not to be reason, but imagina- ton.
 The present-day ministers will adjust themselves to this age in the form in which they present their gospel, The problem of a "hearing" and a living will be solved And the prayer for more laborers will have to be made.
 Great and various are the gains of comradeship fin any undertaking This is especially true of Christian or philan- throplc work. Well says the preacher. TWO are better than one. because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall the one will lift up his fel-

low, but woe to him that is alone when he falleth. For he hath not another to help him up. And If one prevail against him, two shall withstand him and a threefold cord is not easily broken
 The speech with which Jesus dismisses these thirty-five pairs of heralds is pho- tographic of the minister of today. The substance of the minister's message is Peace" but 1t finds an entrance only to a son of peace, that Is one who is open and receptive to the peace-producing mes- sage. The characteristics of the true messenger are meekness. contentment, and self-denial. But these negative qualities can upon occasion flame up into self-assertive dignity when the message is despised
 Opposition must be anticipated. Good ness and w1ckedness are always at swords point. It Is not a thirty-years' war but a thirty century war. It is inevitable and inveterate. There is an incidental gain in this opposition of truth. Perse- cution is only the perversion of the law of the test. And what is doubly tried is doubly proven true.
 The justice of ministerial support may be argued from this incident. These heralds were to take no store with them. Sustenance was to be expected and pro- vided en route. Sowing the spiritual they were to reap enough of the mate rial at least for a livelihood.
 The address of Jesus to the returning evangelists Is quite as significant as the one with which he dismissed them. T beheld Satan fall" The fall of a king means the fall of his kingdom. This was probably not some specific vision. It is a vivid. figurative portrayal of an in- tuition. Jesus had a growing conscious ness, "a continuous. spiritual beholding ' of the ultimate and complete dlscomft- ure of evil.
 'T have given you power" By a fresh pledge Jesus augments the joy he had just confirmed. He mixes it, however with a caution for them not to rejoice too much over anything they may accom- plish. That might easily be mixed with pride. What any one does is very Elusive gauge of his genuine subjective value.
