The present congressional dele
cation from this state, including
Senators Gamble and Kittredge
and Congressman Burke and Mar
tin, are on the most friendly
terms with President Roosevelt,
all reports to the contrary not
withstanding. The president is
always ready to receive them and
heed their suggestions regarding
policies affecting this state and the
nation at large. 1t is not over
drawing or over-stating the case
to assert that Mr.. Roosevelt has
the utmost confidence in the South
Dakota delegation and gives them
his confidence very frequently.
The president is man of good
sense, as all realize, and he knows
that the South Dakota men at
Washington are of the same class
and dependable in every case
where he requires them. These
are the facts.

IA PRECIOUS PAIR.

The ssnew" SO called s.Roose-
welt Republican League starts
out manned by an interesting ar
ray Of ssex's". In the list will he
noted Hon. John Sutherland, ex-
populist nominee for state sena-
tor in Hughes county and ex-
chairman of the Pierre capital
committee, who it seems, by the
hooks, paid over to @. S. Bas-
ford, ex-chairman of the republi-
can state central committee and
ex-candidate for postmaster of
Redield, as publisher Of the
Redfield Press, the sum of about
$40 under u written contract for
his support of Pierre in the Press
during the capital fight, where
upon said Basford kept the money
aforesaid, violated his contract to
support Pierre and worked early
and late for the success of Mitch
ell. And now Basford is in close
cahoots with Sutherland, us mem
hers Of the so.called ssRoosevelt
Republican League, to mislead
inc honest republican voters OF
the state with pretenses as false
us Mr. Basford' $ agreement signed
with Mr.. Sutherland To support
Pierre for capital, upon which
Sl40 Of Pierre money was paid,
never earned and never returned.
Truly this brace of performers"
is ex-quisitely fine, as exponents
of the welfare of Pierre, the capt.
tal. The main object of their
lives is to retire Congressman
Burke from Office, while he is the
most able and conscientious rep
resentative the state ever had
in congress. Mr.. Sutherland is
actuated BY spite Of long stand
ing against Mr.. Burke, while
Basford is sore because Mr.. Burke
wouldn't indorse him for post
master Of Redtield. They are
sleeping in the same bed.

Mr.. Ewert, our mayor, and Mr..
Sutherland, our representative in

Huron on the railroad train and
produce passes for their ride.
While there they join in with a
lot of discontinued, disgruntled,
pessimistic politicians who believe
the country will surely go to the
demnition bow-woWs unless they
are rewarded with Office. Mr..
Ewert is elected vice president of
a league of these fellows, ard Mr..
Sutherland member of the execu-
tive committee, and they proceed
to pass resolutions denouncing the
the pass evil in the strongest
terms. A search of the vest peck
cts of these two gentlemen, how
ever, will most likely disclose the
existence of railroad passes which
will be good to carry them to
any other point of the state where
it may be desired chat further de-
nunciations of the pass evil may
be pronounced.

One of the amusing features Of
the recent organization of Il So
called 6 Roosevelt Republican
League, 2 is the adoption of a
resolution ploclalming against
the use Of passes In the most vir-
ulent terms. Amongst those who
helped to pass excuse the term
this resolution was the present
mayor Of Pierre, Mr.. Ewert, and
John Sutherland, member Of the
house from this county in the last
legislature. As both of these
gentlemen carry railroad passes
and travel on them very frequent

ture Of "The League" masquerade
ing under the name Of the presi-
dent Of the United States for POI
litical effect becomes perfectly

SILVER ANNIVERSARY.
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader is Twenty
five Years Old.

The Sioux Falls Argus-L Leader is cele
brating its twenty fifth anniversary in
a rather unique way and in a way that
the Free Press thinks will be appreciated
by its thousands of readers in south
Dakota. The paper is 25 years old this
month and to celebrate the event the
offering the paper to all new and old
subscribers during the month of Octo
Der for So for one year. If d patron is
in arrears he can pay what he owes at
SOC on the dollar provided he adds So
to the amount for the new year. No
one will be allowed to pay for more
than one year in advance, and the offer
only lasts during the month of October.
To illustrate the plan: Suppose you
owe 81 on any date in October, you
can by sending $3.50 cancel your in
debtedness and pay your subscription
to October, 1906. This is TRULY a cele-
braUion in which all can participate, and
the Argus-Leader should hear from
every subscriber on the list during Oc
tober and secure goodly number of
new patrons. The paper is better in
every way than it ever was and with
the improvements in contemplation it
will be as good as any paper in this
part of the country. Address all com
muDications and make all remittances
to the Argus-Leader Co., Sioux Falls,
South Dakota.
