Bryan's Consistacy.

Edna Seminal.
In his Chicago speech William j.
Bryan said that no self-respecting
democrat could support Judge Park
er, the tool of the trusts and the
money power. Lots of democrats
who thought Mr.. Bryan told the
truth in his Chicago speech are won
dering how the great free silver leader
who has prated so much about princi-
pie and honesty could so soon change
his mind. The Wall street Standard
oil candidate is a hard dose for the
average democrat and how Mr.. Bryan
could swallow it is hard to under
stand.

CAN'T STAND PARKER AND DAVIS.
Two Prominent South Dakota Democrats
n Declare for Roosevelt.

Two democrats of statewide reputa
tion have created something of stil
in South Dakota political circles by
withdrawing their names from the
!. democratic ticket because they can
not support Judge Parker for presi-
dent.
One of them is Olaf Eidem, prom
inent attorney of Brookings, who at
the recent democratic state conven-
ton was nominated to the office of
attorney general of South Dakota.
Mr.. Eidem was a supporter of Will
lam j. Bryan, both in 1896 and in
1900. He will this year vote for
Theodore Roosevelt.
The other prominent lifelong dem
ocrat who declines a nomination at
the hands of the democratic party in
the state because he can not support
Judge Parker is H. c. Hinkley, state
senator from Beadle county, who has
declined a nomination to the office
of county judge on the democratic
ticket in that county. In his letter of
withdrawal he says:
Il shall not support Mr.. Parker or
Mr.. Davis, who in my opinion, were
nominated by the most un-democratic
convention ever held. So long as the
party of Jefferson and jackson advo-
Gates the cause of the people, and
thereby good government, so long
was it a pleasure to be member Of
the party, but when, at St. Louis,
democracy surrendered to the stock
manipulatars of Wall street, the trusts
and combinations, democratic princi-
piles were forsaken and the reforms ad-
vocated by the party in recent cam
paigns became a mockery."

Charley Clinic, who has been con.

month was brought before Justice O.
F. Libby Tuesday where he plead
guilty to the charge of "gross lewd-

Upon payment of the fine and costs

Every man in town during the
course of life time, has to ask a
favor of the newspaper. There are
no exceptions to this rule. He may
keep clear Of the courts, but once in
his life, at least, every man has to go
to newspaper to ask to have a cer-
tain piece kept out, or to have his
name printed or omitted to some
item. 1t is therefore to your interests
to treat the newspapers fairly. It de-
sires to be fair and would rather do
the right thing than the wrong thing.
But if you give it kick, the dent OF
it may be found in the top of your
hat some day, and you will never
know how it got there. Don't think
you are immune. Don't think that
Providence has especially favored you.
For your time will come, and when it
does come, it will be fine investment
if you have a friend in the newspaper.

With pair of field glasses to his
eyes the Rev. William R. Shane of
Brookfeld, Mo-, sat in top room of
the courthouse all this forenoon and
watched the Lynch hotel, two blocks
away, at Fifth and Cherry. He was
looking for his little daughter, and
every time a girl came in sight
around the hotel he focused the
glasses and peered intently.
Some time ago the Rev. Mr.. Shane
was granted a divorce in his home
county and was awarded the custody
of his little girl. But the court there
could not carry the order into effect,
because the divorced wife brought the
child to Kansas City. The Rev. Mr..
Shane then came to this city and ap-
piled to Judge Teasdale for writ of
habeas corpus for possession of his
daughter. Last Saturday Judge
Teasdale granted the writ awarding
him possession of her. But to get
the child was another question. By
order Of court he was entitled to her,
but the mother and child had dissap-
peared. He got word that they were
in the Lynch hotel, so to-day, with
the field glasses, he sat in window of
Judge Guinotte's room and watched.
Once as he sat there he gave a start
of excitement and said:
"There she is now."
A little girl was going down the
hotel steps to the street. But after he
had watched her while, moving his
head to follow her as she played, he
aid down the glasses with a look of
disappointment and said
''No, that's not her"
If he had seen her his plan was to
,et a deputy sheriff quickly and
bounce upon her and carry her away.
my intention when I get hold of
Ter is to take her to Laclede, Mo-,
md put her in school there" DR..
shane said.
1t is said that the mother declares
he would rather die than part with
