Ii is this want of common honesty
manifesting itself in almost every
thing in which the Cuited States hes
been particularly interested; in
Poland, in Finland in the Jewish
Pole and Manchuria, that has turned
the hearts of the American people
from a government that is now wag
ing a war that almost daily brings
to the surface new proof of official
corruption. The distrust and CON
tempt in which the United States
holds the Russian bureaucracy does
not extend to the people of Russia.
1t is glad to believe that the govern
ment does not represent the nation
but is the product of a system that
puts a premium on official corrup-
ton, on cruelty and other unlovely
traits. If this we're a peoples wal
instead of a war brought on by Off
,ial ineptitude and dishonesty the
.'ympathies of this country would
doubtless be more evenly divided

why the House Fell Down.

An English traveller on his way from
Morocco tells of a curious experience
he had while making a trip by camel
inland from Mogador.
1--WE had built a hut Of waffle branch
es to shelter us from the wind. In the
middle Of the night ! dreamed that I
was shooting rabbits In the bracken OF
Essex and suddenly awoke to find my
self covered with vegetable matter.
Every n has experienced the curious
feeling of hopeless bewilderment which
comes over a man when he wakes in
the dark among strange surroundings.

orally eaten US out OF house and home,
for he had broken his tether in the
night, walked over and devoured the
wattled branches Of our hut to such an
extent that the sides and roof collapsed
upon our sleeping FORMS"

STRENGTH OF REPUBLICANS

A democratic paper refers to the
death, within a few years, of McKin-
ley, Reed and Hanna, and says 'the
republican party has no leaders to
take their places" This line Of
comment shows a defective compre-
hension of the basis of the republi-
can, which is principle, sound and
virile principle; and that as history
teaches, may always be trusted to
bring capable leaders to the front.
Statesmen pass away, some in the
fullness Of years, and others at the
post of duty, but the vacancies are
suitably filed as circumstances may
demand. Republicanism IS a system
Of upright enlightened government,
not an organization resting on the
personal qualities, however great, of
individuals. At its birth the repub-
|lican party knew nothing Of It's ablest
leader, bat IN six years singled him
out and made him the war president.
Il was the infusion Of the Ameri.
can people, acting through the med

Abraham Lincoln, and placed the

A

The great strike of masters anC
pilots on the lakes is over. after a
month and a half of the navigation
season of a little over seven months
is past. The strike accomplished
nothing for the strikers, but has
resulted in great injury to them, to
the vessel owners and to the country
at large. The men have lost thirty
or forty days pay, the owners have
been deprived of the revenues for the
operation of their boats during that
period, and the business of scores of
lake ports has been paralyzed.
But the Indirect losses from the
strike have been even greater. Iron
and steel works have suspended:
iron mines have been closed; ore
docks have been idle. The activi-
ties of the ore-carrying railways
have been greatly restricted and
numerous kinds of business accus-
toned to depend on the transporta-
ton of freight by lake during May
and June, have had their plans dis
located by the blocking of one of the
greatest arteries of transportation in
the word. As much as SO, 100000
tons of freight pass through the 500
canal every year, and that is only a
part of the lake traffic. 1t is we'll
understood that had it not been for
the capacity of the great lakes for
handling cheaply immense quanti-
ties of bulky freight, the present
development and prosperity of the
great northwest would not have been
possible. From this we may infer
that even the suspension of lake
traffic for six weeks is capable of
enormous damage to the bust
ness interests of the country.
And this widespread damage,
affecting an empire and millions of
people. is brought about by a hand
full of vessel owners on the one hand
and a few hundred of their employees
on the other hand. And yet, we are
sometimes told hat a dispute
between employer and employees is
none of the public's business. Such
as the coal strike and the one
under discussion are tending rapidly
to dissipate this erroneous idea.
When the public comes to under
stand fully how great is the general
interest in most industrial conflicts,
means viii be found to make them
impossible. Minneapolis Journal.

WILL LISTEN TO REASON.

The voters of the state are fair
and honorable men as a rule. Pas
sion or prejudice does not appeal to
them. If good reasons can be
advanced for the removal of the cap
ital-reasons which would justify
the breaking of the moral and legal
obligations incurred when by their
votes they made Pierre the perma-
nent capital of our state If such
reasons car be presented, then the
people might be justified in "fop-
ping" No sufficient reason has yet
been advanced. With all the talent
employed by Mitchell to incubate a
brood of reasons" not one has been
Matched that appeals to the sober
judgment of our people.
Where are the state institutions
for whose support the whole people
are taxed? Where are they located?
Draw a line from east to west
through the center of the state and
eleven of the fifteen state institu-
tions are permanently located east
OF that line. Divide the state into
eight equal parts, and in the south
east n eighth are located sever of
the eleven state institutions which
are east Of the center and another so
close that it might well be classed as
being in the southeast eighth. While
the northeast eighth has one and the
northeast quarter has two more, or
three all told in the northeast quar-
ter Of the state, the western part of
the state has three and the central
part has only one, the state capital
and Mitchell and her friends want
to move the capital into that south
east eighth. What principal of JUS
tice to the whole state, what princi-
pie of fairness to all the people can
be urged in favor of jamming all the
state institutions down in one corner
of our great and glorious common
wealth?
Only the most pitiable selfshness,
the most inexcusable greed and the
disregard of the rights of the people
in other portions Of the state can
prompt anyone to vote to change the
from where it was perma-
located fourteen years ago?
In a future issue we shall discuss
other features of this proposition
we regard as a still more rank
injustice to the interests of our state.
hope every taxpayer will take a
map of our state, look up the loca-
of our various state institu-
tons and verify our statement, and
then ask themselves the questions:
is the proposed removal in the
interest of the people who pay the
or is in the interest of real
estate spectators who want the
voters to throw away the best loca-
ton in the state and pay them a
quarter of million of dollars for a
location not nearly SO good. The
taxpayers who a figure out in favor
a removal will be few and far

ion to all the cts.-Canton News.

pledge nor the promise would stand
for a moment against the protest of
a single taxpayer, resident or non

Do the people of South Dakota
want to run the risk of making their
occupancy of any capital building
hang by such a slender thread?
Are they willing to leave their
state officers and their records SUBJ
ject to being thrown out of the
alleged capital building at Mitchell,
at the whim or caprice or spite of
some dissatisfied taxpayer, whether
residing at Mitchell or elsewhere?
Suppose Mitchell should offer to
some private business enterprise the
free use of its city hall, as il has
offered it to the state. and as an
inducement to locate there-do you
have any idea the private corpora
tion would accept a prefer so utterly
worthless?
OF course no careful business
organization would locate in Mitchell
for any such bonus. 1t wouldn't
