Through the persistent efforts of
Sheriff Garner another alleged cri.
minal has been landed. Some two
years ago fellow known as John
Riddle was arrested in this county
for hog stealing. Before 1.-THE date
of trial he escaped, and :Mr. Gar
ner has ever since been on the look
out for him. At last he discovered
that John Riddle was an alias and
that his real name was Conrad
Houth, and that his home was in
Belvidere, I'll. Mr.. Garner then
set his snares for him at Belvidere
with the result that last week he
was notified that his man had been
captured.

When it comes to a bunch of re-
publicans of true blue, broad and
manly sort, that town of Scotland
has got them. One in particular,
we have in mind and that is Phil
Engel. Twice in succession the af-
fairs so shaped themselves that the
party could not give Mr.. Engel the
recognition that his hundreds Of
friends felt that he deserved. This
is the kind of a crucible that finds
the true metal of a man and it
has given US Mr.. Engle's measure.
No trials can find flaw in his
make up. He is working for the
party as faithfully as the best and
just as he has worked for years
past. He is making friends and ad-
mirers. His example is of the
highest type1of loyal partisanship.
The party is his debtor and if his
friends ever again ask that he be
recognized it will be done by ac-
clamation. -Tyndall Tribune.

The Retail Implement Dealers

The Retail Implement Dealers
Association of this state is opposed
to the constitutional amendment
providing for leyying special tax
OF II mills for the purpose OF es
tablishing hard fibre twine plant
at the penitenitary. In their op
position they claim that the prison
labor is already pro6tably employ
ed in manufacturing shirts. That
if the entire force was employed
making twine not more than one
fifth of the am cunt consumed in the
state could be manufactured so
that but few of the farmers could.
be benefited. That with one ex-
ception prison twine plants have
been financial failures, and that
it would be a constant source ofex-
pense to the taxpayers. That in
the manufacture OF hard tWlne 80
per cent of the cost is for raw
material, so that in order TO get 10
cents worth of labor from the pris-
oners the state would have to invest
80 cents in cash. That it will be
only short time before all twine
used in the state will be soft twine
made from fax straw raised in the
state, and that An entirely new kind
of chjnery will be needed for it's
production and to change the
machinery would mean an expense
of $75, 900. We present these ar
guments in order that our readers
may understand the opposing side
of the twine plant proposition and
be prepared to vote intelllgently on
the proposed amendment.

The supreme court of South Da-
kota has decided that under the
present caucus law county COM
mis- sioners should be nominated
by the county conventions the
same as other county officers.
Formerly the commissioners we re
nominated by districts and were
voted for at the elections by the
entire county. According to this
recent decision the law passed by
the last legislature places county
commissioners in the 'egular list
of county officer 8, and they should
be nominated in the same way.

Next Tuesday will be election day
and every voter will have to- meet
the responsibility resting upon him
as a citizen. Both Of the great
political parties have candidates ii,
the field, and SO far as personality
is concerned probably there is very
little choice between tue two. So
far as we know both are good tick
cts. From a political standpoint
however, there is an important diff
ference. Every candidate who has
honestly and honorably received
nomination of his party is entitled
to the support Of his party at the
polls. Every voter expects atsome
time either he himself or some of
his personal tri ends will ask for the
suffrage of the people for official
distinction. fhe persists inlignor-
ing party obligations when he casts
his vote he must expect that the
friends of the candidate whom he
opposes will do likewise when he
or his friends occupies a place on
the ticket. If party organizations
are useless they should be abolished
and candidates selected according
to their individual merit. II those
organizations are desirable they are
worthy Of support in preference to
the ties of personal friendship.
