Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1904-12-16

ADJ'T. GEN. CoNKLIN is making
an effort to work up sentiment in
favor of another $55, 900 per aunun
appropriation for the support of the
state militia. He has issued book
let in which be sets forth the claim
that $4,000 per year is hardly
enough, and be goes on to show that
the actual cost of maintaining and
drilling the militia absorbs the en-
tire appropriation; that 1T is hardly
enough. Now, on the same basis,
and if Conklin was able to enlist
four times the number of young men
in his toy army, he would set up the
the same claim that $4,000 per
year would not be enough. We do
not doubt that $35, 900 is too little for
what Conklin has undertaken. But
of what value is all this expenditure
to the taxpayers of the state? Alb
solutely nothing. There is no need
of an organized militia in this state.
We have no lawlsss element that can
only be held in subjection by fear
of an army. The Spanish American
war proved that the organized militia,
as a whole, was useless. Even the
argument that an organization is
necessary foi the training of officers
for the time of emergency was ex-
ploded at the opening of that war.
By far the greater number of the
privates were refused s;e 4 e e ii::..sace i::..sace .e
the ranks of the U. S. army, and the
greater number of commissions were
issued to boys whose little military
training was acquired at Brookings
college or some other institution
maintaining cadet organization.
1t cannot be maintained tha. trained
privates are necessary for a volunteer
army. The South Dakota regiment
was composed for the most part of
raw recruits and yet they had suffi
cient training before arriving at the
seat of war to put it in a class equal
to the regular army. What more is
needed7 The state organization, as
it now stands, furnishes a good
paying job for Conklin, and a chance
for him and the commissioned
officers to "show off, at the expense
of the privates in the ranks. We
remember that at Wa ertown not SO
long ago the commissioned officers
refused to allow non commissioned
men to attend the same reception
with officers, which was to have been
given in honor of the militia in the
interests of dicipline, we suppose.
In a state where lawlessnsss occurs,
where the q. S. mails are interefer-
ed with, there is good reason for
organized militia. In South Dako-
ia sheriff and his deputy are all
the army needed Weexpect Kings
bury county legislators to oppose
any such waste Of the public funds,
and we hope that there will not be
enough support for Conklin's pet
measure to give It decent burial.

The socialist party has made a
rapid growth in sections of this
country. In 1888 that party cast
2,O6S votes, in 1904 their total vote
was approximately 100000. In Cali
fornia the vote increased from 1902
in 1900 to $4,000 this year. In Iowa
the vote increased from 2,27S in 1909
to II, ,236 this year. But in the state
of Illinois the gain was remarkable.
In round numbers, from 10000 to
10000. The late Senator Hanna
said just short time before his
death that 1.-The next great issue this
country will have to meet will be
socialism," and he was doubtless
right.

CoNKLIN's effort to secure $35 900
a year for his toy army is not meet
ing with general favor among the
press of the state. However, Conk-
lin will have meeting of his officers
at Pierre during the Legislature, and
hopes that the aristocracy of the
army will prevail upon the legisla-
ture. We doubt if the sight of
brass buttons will draw the $35, 900
a wear.

IRISH had a big revolver in the buggy.
and the child had taken it out to
bring in to the house, when she dropped
it. The cartridge exploded and the
ball passed into the right side of the
childs waist and left the body below
the left arm. The child's grand
mother, Mrs. William Parrish. was
standing near and the ball struck her
in the head, inf1icting a severe scalp
wound.
Drs. Durfey, Woodruff and Fulton
We're called, and Immediately made an
examination. 1t was found that the
ball had perforated the liver and pene-
trated one lung. The child is under
constant medical attention. 1t was
thought at first that, owing to the Sc
robustness of the wounds, she could not
survive. Unless complications Set in
physicians state that it is possible the
child will live.
