More Fence Trouble

Ole Larson was up from Sand Creek
DeGrey township, Saturday to receive
his county warrant in payment for road
and bridge work that he has been doing
down in that part of the county. Mr.,
Larson has little more work of this
nature to do, for which he will receive
no pay--t that of removing his fence
from the middle of the road where it
now stands, to the section line which
Surveyor knowles recently located for
him upon advice of the county COM

The dust blows out of the Missouri
river. 1t is the only river in the world
where the dust blows out OF the river

about two thousand feet high, come
whirling and sweeping across the river

the train and make everything so dry

COMMISSIONER R. GARRETT
Has Proven That Successful Farming and
Dairying is an Easy Possibility
in This Section

Commissioner r. Garrett of Harold
who has been at the county seat the
y past ten days in attendance upon his
duties as a member of the county board
found time Saturday evening to step
into this Office for a social chat. Com
smissioner Garrett, with his good nature
and unlimited ability as converse
stionalist, is welcome visitor anywhere
aud doubly so at this Office for the rea
sson that the writer in years past has
sherded cattle, MIXED cows and harvest
aed wheat on that gentleman's farm,
land many time, while driving from
Blum. to Harold, has enjoyed the hos
pitalit7 of that roadside homestead.
Mr.. Garrett during his eighteen or
twenty years residence in Breton
township has been engaged in almost
avery kind of industry incident to rural
life and has had experience that has
.profited him. The raising of sheep and
hogs, dairying, and farming have all
VI been tried and all with more or less
success. During the summer months
the Garrett dairy turns out about 175
( pounds of AL butter per week, aud
during the winter months about sixty
pounds per week, which, bringing as it
always does the top price, creates con
siderable revenue Mr.. Carrots exper-
( fence in farming has also been very sat
i isfactory. During the past three years
4 he has given more attention to farming
4 than usual; he has had all excellent
h crop of everything that was planted OF
sowed, which he attributes to proper
cultivation. Last season for instance
i he raised 1900 bushels of corn from less
than forty acres, Notwithstanding the
4 fact that not drop Of rain fell on his
land during the month of June. MIR
Garrett is not inclined to be ELUSIVE OF
to unduly blow about the country, bu
it is easy to leorn from his conversation

Ever since the inception of this years
capital contest, Mitchell has been per-
sistent in her claims that the Hills
country was for the new capital aspir-
ant.
Mitchell is Off.
From every hamlet and city in the
Hills comes the news, through the
medium of the press, that the people of
that part OF tho country are consistent
as ever and are still still sticking by
their natural ally-Pierre.
That they would maintain the stand
they have the past ten years, except to
conserve their own interests, is improb
able. Thus far in the present cam.
paign nothing has been presented to
show them that they would be benefit.
ed by the location Of the capital at
| Mitchell and they are standing pat as
ever.
The only voice from the Hills that
has been heard in support Of remova
is the Sturgis Record. Opposed to this
are seventeen Hills papers, represent
ing every section and corner of tn I
country, and all of them presenting in
strong terms arguments which show
their disapproval of having the capital
moved 1875 miles farther east from them
than it low is.
! Among the papers of the Hills that
have expressed themselves during the
past few weeks as favorable to Pierre
are:
Belle Fourche Bee.
Custer Chronicle.
Buffalo Gap Republican.
Back Hills Union, Rapid City.
Black H Ills Press, Sturgis.
/ Lead City Call
Inter Mt untaln Globe.

Northwest Post, Belle Fourche.
Spear!ish Enterprise
| 81 tarfish Mail.
Hot Springs Star.
Terry News Record.
| WhiteWood Plaindealer.
Deadwood Pioneer Times.
Deadwood Independent.
Central City Register.
TIE only one that has taken, up the
cause of Mitchell is the Sturgs Record
That these seventeen publications
would espopse cause in opposition to
the wishes and sentiment of tlleir con,
stituency is improbable. The Hills is
for Pierre.

Our Democratic friends here in
Missouri frequently refer to the
time when Republicans were >in
control of the state as Il period
that "trie,l mems souls" the sentl-
ment having reference to their own
political condition at that time, Of
course. In the dim perspective of
the past, we see nothing worse in
this ''fearfuI trial" than that the
oath Of allegiance was required
with the exercise of citizenship by
those who had been the enemies of
tie government. The same thing
is demanded today in Democratic
Missouri as it is wherever the stars
and stripes are sovereign. That
was the only ''proscription' the
Republicans ever placed upon the
Democrats, yet it has been deemed
sufficient by the latter during all
the long years they have had poll
teal power III Missouri to heap iu-
justice upon Republicans in retail
alton. As the Republicans grew
strong enough to menace the con-
tinuance of Democratic rule in this
state, the party in power has re-
sorted to immeasurably meancr
methods to retain its hold than any
the Republicans were capable of in
the reconstruction days succeeding
the civil war. Nesbitism, the polit
zeal prescription of the twentieth,
century, is wringing the souls OF
Missourians full sore. A tyrant' 5
grasp has bold of them that can
only be shaken Idase by popular
upheavei. There is no hope ef re-
lief except through the people, Jet

that the Democrats who declared
at the time of Holmes appoint
meat that the court was being
packed "gai:,st the merger were
mistaken. 1t is clear that Presi
dent Roosevelt never inquired into
Justice Holmes views on the trust
issue before appointing HIM, or, IL
he knew them, he did not care for
them.
The party which how!s louIcst
auainst the trusts il the Democrat
ic party. The same party Is the
one which refuses 10 harm The
trusts when it gets Il chance 20 do
so. During Cieveland> second
term the trust issue was big enough
to attract attention, but the Demo
Gratis did nothing against it except
talk. The Republicans, in IIarri-
son : presidency. passed the Sher-
man antitrust act. under which the
merger has lust been oyerthrOwn,

! lust after Harrison went out, did
nothing to disturb The combines ID
any way. If the Democratic par

would be ilourishine and many
others would be formed.
As has often been shown by the
record, the only party which has
| the courage or the brains to assail
the combines and protect the inter
ests Of the people is the Republi-
can party. Even on the supreme
bench. where there is technically
no politics, the past affiliations Of
a party count for something, and
from the Judge whose affiliations
are Democratic the trusts always
expect good treatment. Here, as
on all other big issues, the Demo

dictionary. The Democratic plat
form in St. Louis willhaye plank
denouncing the combines, but these
interests will not take the slightest
notice Of this talk, for they are
aware that if the Democrats should
