Sioux Fall Argus Leader: It
is indeed unfortunate for the in.
surgent cause that it has the cor
dial and enthusiastic endorse
ment of every democrat, and
populist in the state. There is
not an anti-republican newspa-
per in the state which is not en-
couraging the fight against the
organization. It is no wonder
that democrats and populists
would want to get rid of an or
ganization under the management
of which South Dakota broke It's
republican majority. The anti
republican forces figure that the
best way to promote their politi-
cal inter ests is to encourage the
insurgents. In this city is pub
lished a newspaper which is alb
solutely controlled by Ex-senator
Pettigrew. It Is edited by his
former private secretary. 1t
does not claim to be a repu blican
paper, aud it's sole political inter
est is admittedly in the lire of
creating republican discord.
Is it not significant-to republi
cans-that such a newspaper,
with such a purpose. and under
such control should devote COL
umns of space to the criticism of
trusted republican leaders, and
to giving aid and comfort to the
insurgent cause? It is signifi-
cant, but not surprising. It is
directly in line with the advice
given by William J. Bryan when
he was last in South Dakota. and
from a democratic and populist
point of view, it is good politics.
The best and only way to build
up a democratic party in South
Dakota is to encourage discord
in the ranks of the dominant par
ty.
We are wondering if the repub-
licans of the state will permit
themselves to be thus used. We
are wondering if they will fool
ishly pull democratic chestnuts
out of the fire. There is nothing
in the state, as yet, to indicate it.
The state administration has
been clean, and of all the states
in the union, South Dakota has
been Clear even of suspicion of
graft or evil doing. So fully is
this true, that arrangements,
made to have Lincoln Steffens
come to South Dakota to write
up the bad things, were cancelled
because enough could not be
found to make showing. There
is a fight on the organization be-
cause it is an organization, but
it is not likely to go far on this
basis as Everybody knows an
organization is necessary to the
success of any party.

The inspection work of the depart
ment Of agriculture at the various pork
packing centers Of the country reveals
some rather disturbing features, says
Hoard's Dairyman 1t is shown that
there has been remarkable increase
In the number Of hogs that are found
tuberculous In the last three years.
Three years ago the number was 1000.
Last year the number had increased to
14,00O. But what Hoard's Dairyman
wishes to call especial attention to is
the fact that 80 per cent Of these tuber-
culous hogs are said to come from the
dairy districts. How did they get this
disease?
The answer is, BY feeding on skim
milk from tuberculous cows. Every
hog found thus diseased is almost a
dead loss to the packer.
Already, we understand, the packers
are moving to force very unfavorable
discrimination against hogs coming
from dairy districts. The hog is a very
important adjunct to the dairy farmers,
and it will hit them hard If their hogs
are Disseminated against. Here is an
other solid reason why dairy farmers
should at once set to work to have
their herds tested with tuberculin. II
the farmers will test their cows and get
rid Of the diseased members Of the
herd they will have the satisfaction Of
knowing that they are not spreading
the disease among their own cattle and
hogs and that the milk is healthy and
wholesome for both human beings and
farm animals.
This is also another argument for
the use Of the farm separator. Where
a man separates his own milk on the
farm he is not feeding diseased milk
from his neighbors' cows = neither is
he poisoning the hogs or calves Of his
neighbors in case his own cows are dis
eased.
Looked at from any standpoint, It
seems to us to be the highest wisdom
for every dairyman to tuberculin test
his herd at least once year. With
this disease It Is also absolutely neces-
sary to be certain Of the soundness Of
every COW or young animal that comes
into the herd or else the guardian work
Of years may be destroyed by one case
Of carelessness.

blous as to the outcome. Selwyn was a
handsome chap, a spoiled child of for
