There is no question but what South

Practices What He Preachss.

Aberdeen News: GLOW long. oh
Lord, are we to be deprived OF guard.
ing our own state funds,n exclaimed
o. L. Branson of, Mitchell, presi-
dent of the South Dakota Bankers
Association, in his address before
that body yesterday, in the course of
an argument in favor of permitting
the banks OF the state to...care for
funds of the state, and receive the
profit accruing therefrom, instead Of
permitting the eastern financial in
stitutions to handle those funds.
The argument of Mr.. Branson was
very pat, and much to the point,
and it was loudly applauded-by the
bankers and Others who heard it.
Mr.. Branson is in a position to plead
for the patronage Of home industries,
for he practices what he breaches.
When MIR. Brapson's bank at Mitch
ell needs any printing done, it sends
the job to a South Dakota printing
house. The record of some of the
bankers who %applauued MI. Bran
sons u%tterances is not so, clear.
Ninety-tive per cent Of the bank
printing of South Dakota is sent
outside of the state, although there
are a number Of South Dakota print
ing houses which are capable OF COM
peting, and do compete in quality
and price, with the best work turned
out by the best printing establish
,nents OF the larger cities.
The state funds should be deposit
ed in the banks OF the state. Mr..
! B%ranson's position on that point
vas well taken. The printing of the
banks of the state should also be
done by the printing Offices Of the
state. Instead, in many Instances
bankers pass up printers who are
patrons of their institutions ID
order to give their printing orders
to outside establishments. How
long, oh Lord. will this practice con-
tinue?

Uncle George Perkins, in summing
up the situation in the gubernator-
ial race a the end of last week, finds
that Mr.. Cummins is losing in the
race, and that his standing Tor the
coming week will be greatly aided
by the conventions which are to be
held. Mr.. Perkins thinks that by
the end of this week he will have
sufficient delegates in the state con-
yention to assure him of the nomi-
nation for governor.

The rains that have col.le through

sible for South Dakota to raise an
other magnificent crop this season.
With o wet season to begin with the
crops had..a good foundation OF which
to start. and it appears that it will
be kept up throughout the season.
There seems to be no steming the
tide of the success which has come
to this state in the matter of crop
growing, as has been a%bunaantly
proven in the past sever or eight
years. We are now counted a fairly
agricultural state and

That harmony is going to prevail
tn the republican ranks after the
Sioux Falls convention is evident
from the expressions that are being
made by the stalwart republican
press. In every stalwart paper that
comes TO the exchange table Of The
Republican the editors give voice to
the sentiment OF standing by the
nomfnees OF the convention, and
this will be done Ia nearly every in-
stance. There is really no ground
for amy other action, as there is no
differences existing between the
iactionsSof the party with reference
TO any Of the cardinal principles Of
the party, hut only on the matter OF
control and leadership OF the party

publican finds 1t an easy matter to

It appears that free alcohol is GO
ing to have an easier road through
the senate than was anticipated, as.
indicated by the report of tile finance
committee of that body. Senator
Aldrich, who stood in a position to
stop any favorable act on the meas
ure, has been made to stand aside
for the benefit Of the people and give
them a chance to get something out
side Of the Standard Oil Company's
production. The free alcohol ques-
ton has permeated the country and
the people have become exceedingly
DESTROYS to secure a fuel that is
cheaper than that handled by the

from grain and other vegetable
growtbs. Thus. we will have the

The senate proved a few days ago
that 1T could transact business with
the same dispatch that a be done
by the house or by a company of men
who are engaged in business pursuits
when it passed the alcohol bill.
After the measure was discussed but
a short time and some OF the leading
members came to see it in its proper
light there was no hesilancy in
adopting it. The law does not go
into effect until Jan. 1907, which
gives manufacturers an opportunity
to get in readiness for handling the
new product. Denatured alcohol, it
is claimed, will become quite a fac
tor in the fuel world, taking the
place of kerosene and gasoline, and
it will rather set the Standard Oil to
thinking about cutting prices. Some
think that within a year after the
plants are established for making de-
natured alcohol that the Standard
OH Co. will own IS per cent OF them.

The Standard Oil Company has
been put on the g1iddle down.ln Ohio
and its record for the past thirty
years is being disclosed with some
very LhIilling and Illuminating stories
of the indignities that have been
heaped upon the independent oil
companies that have tried to do busi.
ness IN that state. The stories that
are told by the managers OF other
companies are something a founding.
but it is only what the Standard has
been doing to all other competitors
in its line Of business. Attorney
General Monnet has charge OF the
investigation, which, is. being con-
Quoted at Cleveland, and he expects
to prove that judicial decisions we've
influenced; ministers were corrupted
to act as spies; that politicians in
dominant parties were used as tools;
that telegraph messages of its rivals
were submitted to the Standard:
chat railway traffic managers took
its orders on rates or suffered dis
missal: that the Standard fought
the independents with illegal rebates,
sstixed'' law suits and force of arms.
With this successful investigation
added to the success of the Missouri
trial, and followed up by many other
states in the Union ought to be
the means of rather breaking up the
methods of the Standard and give
others a chance to engage in the
same business. II this can be done
it will look like n of the greatest
achievements of the century, and it
Will be the means of releasing the
most g%rasping hand from the throat
of the public which has been squeez-
ing an additional cent or two on the
oil and gasoline for the benefit Of
the dividends Of the company. Speed

pany will be throttled as it has been

LIvEN UP A LITTLE.

Astoria and Clatsop county have ar
rived at pass where there is de-
mand for some live and snappy work
on the part Of the real estate agent.
There are any amount of sales pro-
jected and there would be plenty of
buyers if the situation was advertised
and exploited as it should be. A man
called at this Office yesterday and pro-
tested against the inactivity of the
realty market, saying that she had sew
eral pieces of property from which a
live agent might make good thing if
they were taken hold of, advertised
and pushed in an aggressive way" and
deprecated the easy-going methods now
prevailing here.
There is nothing to be done by sit
ting down and waiting for the casual
buyer. Any town can slip along in that
way. What is needed is few quick,
active. up-to-date, advertising. deter
mined agents that mean something and
do something in their own behalf, and
in behalf of the city and its ready-for-
sale realty. Get move on, or there
win be rustling men in here from out
side that will pick up the margins that
are waiting.

STRINGENT TRUTHS.

The startling statement was made
by the Rev. Joseph A. Milburn, before
an audience of women at the Englewood
Woman's club that: "Women-mothers
and wives-are to blame for most of
the immortality in the world" Contin-
uing the speaker said: "Women allow
one standard of morals for themselves
and another for their husbands. When
their boys go astray they hold out their
hands to help them; when their daugh-
ters 60 astray they weep because they
know they are forever ostraeised, and
they make no effort to change the condi-
ton Of affairs. Men should be held to
the same restrictions as women, and
women should be allowed the same lat
itude as men. The great sin is not the
sin of the magnificent passion, but the
sin of the circumscribed life. Women
need broader scope. Their routine du-
lies are narrowing. They gc. into ruts
which are suicidal. Literature Is a
respite. Reading gives the necessary
broadening influence. The tendency Of
most people is to become provincial
and reading overcomes this tendency"

but now would refuse with scorn. fifty
billions for the same territory and
what is on 1t, Then came the Alaska
deal.
A few years ago Uncle Sam had
occasion to shove SpaiB out of the
Philippines, but as he saw the old par
ty hcbbling away from the islands he
felt sorry for her, and dropped few
gold pieces. Ss0,OO0,ooo or such mat.
ter, into her trembling hand. 1t was
a mere act of kindness; Uncle Sam was
under no obligations to give penny,
but he had done 50 well in previous
land deals he felt he could show pity,
II you think Uncle Sam didn't make
a good bargain in the Philippines, drop
around to the real estate office thirty
five years from now and make him
test offer for the islands. The predic-
tion is made that he would say he now
and then buys real estate but hasn't any
to sell. And he might add that II the
Philippines were for sale he might let
them go at $1,000, ,0O0,Oo0. That is not

large amounts of capital; her popula-
