Oh a young lady in Pierre hospital
from typhoid fever induced by drink
Ing water from a water hole west of
there while holding down a claim, we
were reminded OF half dozen trips we
made across that alkali plain In 1879
1880 and 81. We took bundle of
sticks and a key Of water strapped be-
hind so that we might fry little meat
and make little coffee to sustain tired
out humanity. And now water is OBJ
tanned by damming creeks In the spring
or sinking artesian wells, which poor
man cannot do. The oxen, poor crea-
lures, would drink from the water
holes until large portions of their hair
would fall out and in some instances
their hoofs drop off. This would GER
tainly be fine country for farming!
Not tree in sight for miles and moth
Ing for fuel but OK chips. And then
the towns west of this remarkable cap
ital that we used TO hear so much
about, where are they?-Such as, Re
cluse, Interior, Midland, Westover,
Nowlin, Earling and others. They are
but memories. And the counties that
our governors have ben called upon to
organize in the last thirteen years,
echo answers, where? Great develop
ment west from Pierre! Fifteen thou
sand homesteads taken and a very
large per cent abandoned or relinguisn-
ed, and this three or four times over!
There are many other reasons why
the capital should be located in the
midst of the people who pay the taxes,
but this is enough. Let's have the cap
ital somewhere where Scotty Phillips
herd of buffalo isn't the chief and only
attraction. 1t is up to the best iudg
ment OF the voters of South Dakota to
make right decision. How will it
be?

NOT USED BY DEMOCRATS
Adjeetives for which Parker's Followers
Have No Use.

Adjeetives for which Parker's Followers
Have No Use.
"We know what we mean when we
speak of an honest and stable cur
rency," said President Roosevelt in his
speech of acceptance.
In no official uttera nee OF the Demo
cratic party, or of its candidates for
president or vice president during the
last eight years, have the adjectives
"honest" or stable" ever been used
to designate the kind OF currency
Democracy demanded, and this not
withstanding the Democratic phrase
makers will use adjectives freely and
recklessly whenever they have any
paramount" or "tantamount" idea to
advance, like in the platform adopted
at st. Louis, which said 1.-The existing
Republican administration has been
SPASMODIC, ERRATIC, SENSA-
TIONAL, SPECTACULAR and AR
BITRARY."
Alton b. Parker says the gold stand
ard is 'irrevocably established" but
he does not say that his own personal
belief in 1T as affording an "HONEST
AND STABLE CURRENCY" has
been irrevocably established, nor,
furthermore, that he deemed the Dem
ocratic party wrong, when In con-
gress In 1899, 1t almost to a man voted
against the establishment of the gold

SHOW THE TRUTH

Republicans, forecasting events
from the September elections in Yer
mont and Maine, should not allow
themselves to be overconfident of re-
suits of the presidential election In
November.
There is no doubt as to the fact that
Roosevelt will win, but he ought to
be given great vote of confidence, an
outpouring of national affection and
trust, aside from a mere majority Of
electoral votes.
a rebuke is deserved for the men
who so falsify facts and sentiments,
so distort, prevaricate and invent, as
to make it appear that Theodore
Roosevelt Is anything but the streng,
thoughtful, loyal American citizen
that he is.
The silly bosh about imperialism
and "militarlsm," the groundless fub-
dub as to fancied personal dictation
by their executive to the American
people should be rebuked by the peo-
pie in such manner as can never DO
forgotten.
Let Republicans appear en- masss at
the polls in November, to show what
they think of Theodore Roosevelt.

The Century's Index.

The Century Magazine has been try
ing the experiment of emitting the in
dex from the last number of the vol
ume, but it has announced that, begin
ming with the October number, which
ends the current volume, the index
will be restored.
Many magazine publishers have
found that it is not necessary to print
an index for the entire edition, but a
small edition only has been printed,
and copies have been sent out to per-
sons who desire to preserve their num-
bers in bound form. The publish
ers of The Century have found out that
so many readers of that magazine bind
the numbers that 1t has become neces-
sary to include the index, as hereto
fore, in the entire edition.

David b. Hill stated, In one Of bis
speeches, that Mr.. Roosevelt, ON taking
the oath of Office after the death or
President Mckinley, said that he woul0
not be a candidate for president In
1904.
President Roosevelt has never made
a promise as to his own personal ac-
ton which he did not redeem. The
president is outspoken, fair and
square. These are characteristics OF
the man. He makes no promises he
does not intend to keep, and he keeps
such as he makes.
The silly story started by Hill had
no foundation In fact, and 1t is really
not worth the ink and paper that has
been used in denying 1t, except that IL
once more marks-the character Of Hill.

Already in the presidential campaign
of this year the Democrats are fight

actions for some time, but his condi.
ton is good as compared with the con.

Take Your Choice,

David B. Hill, the sponsor of the
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, said at st. Louis that he ''did
not know how Parker stood on the
money question" For thirty years
Hill and Parker have been intimately
associated, socially and politically. II
the statement made by Hill is to be be-
ieved, then Parker is too secretive a
man to elect to the presidency; if false,
then it was evidently made for the pur-
pose Of misleading the people; and II
the people are to be deceived in one
thing, why not in all the acts Of the
Democratic leaders?

Republican vs.. Democratic Policy,

Organization does much to maintain
the wages of labor, but organization
OF wage-earners does not provide con-
sumers. Consumption of coal is al
ways greatest when mills and facto-
ries are running full time. 1t is the
policy of the Republican party to pro-
tect all industries by wise and benefi-
cent laws, while it has been the pol
Icy of the Democratic party, as evil
denced by the last Cleveland admins
tration, to provide as much work as
possible for the artisans of other coun-
tries by removing the protection the
tariff affords American workingmen.
