The majority of the machine pa
pers of the state attempt TO say that
the Organization" is standing by
Roosevelt, that the congressional
delegation is with him. And yet the
Argus Leader publishes the G. NJ
q St. p, editorials, the Aberdeen
News, published by Mcleod, one
of the big cogs in the machine, says
we do not need rate regulation, and
the Pierre Free Press, Congressman
Burke's official organ is opposed tc
it. They are standing by Roosevelt
like the old lady kept hotel in Wis.

SENATOR GAMBLE has always been
part and parcel of the "state ma
chine" according to the asseverations
of the insurgent press. Now, this
same press has discovered that Con-
gressman Martin is the machine
candidate for senator to succeed
Gamble. There was time when
Herried was publicly proclaimed by
this element to be the machine can
didate for the pla e. Pretty soon
Mr.. Pettigrew is likely to blossom
out as a machine candidate - Public
Opinion.
Gamble has played with the ma
chine and it cannot be denied, but
the machine does not want him be-
cause he has not the strength. Meth
er does the machine want Martin.
Both will receive certain amount Of
encouragement from the machine. 1t
is only game where the machine is
playing both ends against the mid
dle--Gamble and Martin will both
fall into the drink. Ii the machine
is successful Herried will be the
next senator elected in this state.
Herried is more useful to the ma.
chine for he can be depended upon
TO use all bis influence and prestige

The cheapest thing we have yet
seen in South Oak ota politics is the
attempt being made by democratic
and anti republican newspapers to
show that the republican organiza.
tion is hostile to President Roosevelt. 1.
1t is cheap because in the first place
there is no truth whatever in the
pipe-dream of republican hostility
to Roosevelt in South Dakota. Ar
gus Leader.
And yet, the Argus Leader, in its
issue of July 18th, printed two of
Harry Hunters ready-made editorials
against government regulation of
railroad rates, which is one Of Roose-
ve!t's policies. The Al. not olly
printed the articles, but printed
them on its editorial page without
credit or comment, which gave them
the same standing as articles written
by the editor of the Al. La view
of this fact. and the further fact
that the AL. is the acknowledged
official organ of the state machine,
or Organization, as they are pleased
to call themselves, the public has
every reason to think that the A. l..
aud the chosen few represented by
it are opposed to Roosevelt's policies.

A PAMPHLET issued by the railroad
companies declares that several OF
the colleges own large amounts of
railroad stocks, and it would be un-
wise to cut down the incomes of these
institutions by arbitrary rate legisla-
tion. Again John D. Rockefeller,
benefactor and founder of colleges,
buys stock of John D. Rockefeller
controller of railroads, and advises
himself that it is safe and sane ia
vestment. Finance is great game, -

Of Paying Attention to Young
Women

After nearly forty years of married
life Mrs. Margaret Kyle yesterday
asked Judge Trask in the superior
court to free her from the matrimonial
compact existing between herself and
Robert Kyle, retired merchant.
The pair were married in 1866 and
have ten grown children.
That he paid attention to women
much younger than himself was the
chief objection made yesterday to the
actions of Kyle.
Mrs. Kyle even asserted that her
spouse had openly declared his inten-
tion of marrying a young woman.
Mrs. Kyle adopted a strict censor
ship in connection with her husbands S
correspondence and as result startling
revelations came to light.
Kyle objected to any interference in
his private business and to show his
disapproval he deserted her. Two
weeks ago Kyle came to Los Angeles.
According to Mrs. Kyes story, how
ever, he visited her for the purpose of
abusing her.

SPENDS MONEY AT RACES;
ASSERTS SHE WAS ROBBED
Pinkerton Detective investigates {
Theft in South Figueroa
Street Home

Here is the latest example of burg
larry in Los Angeles during the racing
season at Ascot park. The princi-
pals in such cases are as rule prom
inent persons and detectives are never
mduly tallSative.
Yesterday a woman living on South
Figueroa street telephoned in to the
Pinkerton headquarters that her house
had been robbed and she wished de-
tective to be detailed on the case.
Two hours later a plain looking man
of the Sherlock Holmes order called at
the house and asked to be given all
the details of the robbery.
Nothing was missing except pocket
book containing $72 and which had been
hidden beneath the carpet under one
of the beds. The woman had no
thought that it could be one of her SER
wants but inasmuch as her house had
been robbed, she thought it her duty
to call in detective and have him fer
rent out the thief. Beyond these
details he was unable to get any infor-
nation.
The detective walked around the
block and within a few minutes he was
knocking at the door of one his clients
neighbors. did Mrs. Brown know
Mrs. Jones?" Every well indeed
did Mrs. Jones stay at home much
in the afternoons" mo, Mrs. Jones
went a great deal to Ascot"
The detective then called upon his
client. When she was accused OF
having spent the money at Ascot park
the day before, she broke down and
confessed to having taken the money
but begged that her husband should
not be told OF her deed.
1t was an old story to the detective
On his return to headquarters, he
turned in a report something like this:
Case SO, loss $72, complainant guilty

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
ManteIIi in "carmen'

Madame Mantelli sang one scene
audience that occupied the first fifteen
rows of chairs in Temple auditorium.
To this scene the artist brought all
the charm of her dramatic talent and
her magnetic personality. Her Car
men" is delightful impersonation and
the glimpse of her in the role so well
suited to her splendid voice was most
tantalizing, for the short act was not
given until after two hours of scenes
from Faust without Madame Man
telli had been presented.
In the fourth act from Carmen"
Walter Wheatley, who sang the part of
San Jose, made a good impression. In
his acting as we'll as in his singing
he showed possibilities not previously
suggested. Signor Albert, who ap-
peared as the toreador, sang the duet
with Mantelli in finished manner,
with a fire and abandon that were
convincing after the rather disappoint-
ing scenes from Faust" 1t was Signor
Alberti who gave all the color to the
Faust" acts, inasmuch as his Mephis-
topheles was a fine characterization.
Madame Noldi as Margherita was at a
disadvantage, but in the prison scene
she won the principal triumph of the
evening and in response to repeated
recalls repeated the scene.
