The Bonesteel Disorder.

It is not at all plimentary to the
authorities i'm South Dakota that there
should be such riot of crime, vice
and disorder as has prevailed at Bone
steel. It was apparent long before
any serious trouble had occurred that
the local authorities at Bonesteel
would be unable to deal with the sit
uation that confronted them. The
state government should have been
prepared for the emergency and state
troops should have been on the ground
early.
The reason why the federal govern
ment decided to allot the land instead
of leaving it open to requirement by
physical occupation was to prevent the
disorder which Is inseparable from a
wild struggle to get possession of a
limited amount of land. The federal
government did its part, but the state

The Personality Campaign.

The personality of Roosevelt is go
ing to be a prominent issue in the
if not the dominant one.
1t is not made SO by the republicans,
but they are quite ready to meet the
enemy on that issue and let the peo-
pie decide: It was made plain at st.
Louis that the democratic argument
would be centered on the unsafe
ness of Roosevelt, and Henry Wat
terson, always picturesquely frank in
speech, admits that the personal fea-
ture of the campaign will be Sub
stantially the only issue" He sums
it up as follows in the Courier-Jour-
nal: ~
This is the layout. It is Parker, the
Jurist and Patriot against Roosevelt, the
would be Man-on-H Horseback, who. minus
American Republic. There is little else
to it, The Money question is settled. The
Tariff can wait q bit. Have we a Con
stitution? Have we Republic? Or have
we a Master, wko sets himself above the
law, and is his name Theodore Roosevelt
This is the issue, substantially the only
Issue. In the fight that is upon us.
There's your gage of battle. 1t is
satisfactory to the masses, who be.
lieve in Roosevelt and trust him FOL
any emergency. and are ready to be.

can also be a safe man." The re.

of the campaign is concerned, it car

The Republic Doomed?

Goodwin Smith has come to the
that the American repub-
lie is doomed. Mr.. Smith is one of
the ablest writer's of English now Hv-
ing, and his mental processes are SO
clear that his conclusions seem al
most irresistible to the average read
er. But many a clear thinker has
been on the wrong side, and great
argume ntative skill does not always
array itself on the side of truth. So,
we still have hopes for the republic.
Mr.. Smiths idea is that the repub-
lie is doomed because it is, in his
opinion, ruled by faction. Our po-
litical parties, he says, are not prop
erly called parties, being in his
opinion, rather, factions. No vital
issues, says Mr.. Smith, separate the
parties; they are merely organizations
seeking political power for itself
some definite national purpose.
According to the sage of Toronto the
American people have wisdom and
strength enough to save the repub-
lie if they cared to, but they are in
different and there are no signs that
they will bestir themselves.
Well, we can't have great issues all
the time, and nation no more than
an Individual can always be in white
heat of righteousness and strenuous
effort after a higher life. Just now
the energies of our people are large
ly absorbed in material pursuits. It
is easier to interest them in saving
dollars than in saving the nation.
That Is because they think there is
need to save dollars and no need to
save the nation. They're about right,
too. If the republic should be in
. any great danger they will arouse
themselves quick enough.
It is too bad, to be sure, that we
can't be alert to correct and improve
and that we do not, daily perform a
share of work for national salvation
and betternent, instead Of letting
things lapse for generation or so
and then falling to with feverish
energy to clean up and brace up. But
I that's the way we're constituted, md
that's the way We'll save the republic
after all the prophets have con
signed it to the junk heap Of WORKOUT
governments.

WHAT oTHER PEOPLE THINK
Rryan's Impractical Ideas.
To the Editor of The Journal


Mr. Bryan has declared for public. own
erstip and public operation Of the rail-
ways. these to be separately owned by
the forty-five states, and the trusts to
own and retain the coal and iron and
leave each of the states, dependent on
these two trusts for the wherewith to
make a railroad, and for the fuel to OPP
crate it,
A statement of the proposition shows
how little thought he has given to the
subject.
We had large party, when our con-
stitution was made, that insisted we
should remain under the old articles of
confederation, as a confederacy. rather
than have ample powers in central gov
eminent, and after the constitution was
adopted this element, thru Jefferson and
Monroe drew the Kentucky and Virginia
resolutions of 1898 and 1893. insisting on
all questions of disputed power between
the state and federal governments each
state should decide for itself and it was
the duty of the citizen to follow the de-
cision of his state government rather
than that of the federal government, and
this spirit for state control was the basis
and pretext of secession, which ought to
have been buried at Appomattox. ;.
We are one nation. The people rule,
not the federal government. The proper
regulation of all internal and foreign com
merce is lodged with congress If Mr.
Bryan's state ownership and control OF
internal commerce is to prevail our federal
constitution should be changed.
It is less practical for the forty five
Estates to own and operate our railways
| than it would be to take from the fedora
government the control of our postoffice
system and lodge that in the forty-fve
! states and attempt to manage 1t, in the
manner suggested by Mr.. Bryan. because
some of the states are mountainous, thin
| ~ populated and have but little wealth
/ and could not construct and tunnel fol
the necessary railways to give the proper
connections to reach the different section:
iof the United States
The power taken from the several state:
by the change from the articles of con
! federation to the federal constitution
lodging largely increased powers in thu
federal government. has never been thu
!, cause of any harm whatever to the people
and no harm is feared from this sourc'
by giving still more power to the fedora
government, in giving it full control Q

ONE HoRsETo FOUR FARMERS !


The bad economic condition of the Rus
sian peasantry may be shown BY the sta
tistics Of farm animals. The Russian nov-
e1ist Usepenski., once wrote a story Of
peasant life, which he called "a Quarter
of Horse and which was intended to
set forth, In the guise Of fiction, the social
and economic status Of an agricultural
population, that had only one horse to ev-
cry four families. Statistics compiled by
the zemstvos of the central provinces
show that, even before the agricultural
crisis became as acute as it is now, 30 to
80 per centfof the peasant farmers in the
formerly rich provincesgof Cherigof Vor-
onezh, Poltava, Saratof, Kursk and Tam
bof did not have even a single horse,
while nearly one-third of the entire popu-
lation of Voronezh had neither horse nor

horse, and 21,0OO had neither horse nor

woods. AS the tree fell he stepped to one
side, when he was struck on the head
by a sapling that had been bent over by
the falling tree and had suddenly sprung
back The blow cut cash in his fore
head ard stunned him badly. 1t was
thought that the injury would not be seri-

from the blow Mr.. Smith lost all memory

age he was forty years ago. He goes
about the farm on which he lived when
a boy and wants to play boyish games and

Case of Temporary Insanity Due to
Much Reading.
Edward Rowland Sill has a little essay
on Books of Refuge" which is published
with his other prose writings in book
that might itself fairly be called a book
of refuge. In the essay referred to he
says. speaking Of certain books:
"They are the books which make a
man ashamed of caring too much whether
he be happy or not; which present anew
the higher aims and the better estimates
of life.'
He names some of the books which
he places in this class But it is
not necessary to repeat his brief list,
for every man who reads much has
his own books Of refuge which,
perhaps he oftenest turns to Sunday
afternoons, which he is for the time
his own master in his own manor OF
| course, some mems whole libraries are
made up Of books of refuge, to which
they turn in varying moods. Still, even
with such an one there are certain
few books to which he returns oftenest
when the nerves are on edge or the spirit
| is perturbed.
