PARTY

AS an examplification OF the differ
ence in men it is only necessary to
compare the action OF those, who like
to be heralded in Brookings county
as stalwart Republicans with those OF
Lawrence county who, though defeated
in securing the election OF Mr.. Martin
for U. s. senator, rolled up a splendid
majority for Coe. /. Crawford and the
whole ticket. The Deadwood Pioneer
says:
"Governed by such underlying prin-
ciples OF party action Lawrence
county republicans made good at the
polls on November 6 and they will
make good on the resolutions OF their
county platform at Pierre. Gamble
will have their support for United
States senator freely and without
equivocation, because OF the indorse-
ment OF the state convention. They
will not be a party to any schemes for
his defeat even were such a defeat

Professor Nils f.. Hansen, horticul-
turist of the South Dakota Agricultural
college located in this city, has
achieved a wonderful success in his
search through Siberia, having dis
covered a species of alfalfa which
thrives in a latitude wherethe mercury
falls as low as 80 to 40 below zero. In
that location the water is scarce and
the summers very short. The agricul-
tural department at Washington has
given Professor Hansen proper praise
for his find" and we congratulate
him. as this addition to the resources
OF the great northwest will be OF untold
value to the farmers and stockmen.

Is it any wonder that much OF
Watertown's furniture trade goes to
the twin cities and even to Bookings?
Watertown has three we'll stocked fur
niture stores and none OF them have
an advertisement in any OF the four
newspapers of the city. The Herald
has a proposition to advertise for a
Minneapolis furniture firm which we
have hesitated to accept because we do
not like to put these city firms in di-
rect competition with home firms.
But if the home firms don't care enough
forthe trade to ask for it through some
OF the home papers we don't know
why we should try to protect them

expressed by the majority and third
for the men best qualified to represent
the party in official capacities always
remembering their own hOnored and
able leaders when the occasion is
propitious and duty and honor may

Unfortunately Brookings county has
a few so called Republicans who have
10 further interest in the success Of
the party than to gain their wi per-
sonal ends. Last spring the party
gave those fellows a Jolt that would
have discouraged any ordinary often
siVe partisan, but encouraged by past
success through trucking they kept
up a bold front. Inch by inch they
have seen the last vistagc OF their
false cloak stripped from them, and
they have been left alone and naked.
Yet their organ continues to fling forth
maledictions upon those whom the
people have chosen to represent them
in legislative affair.
1t is impossible to read unworthy
people out Of a party but, if some of
these fellows don't feel pretty cold at
present then we miss our guess.
We are proud to know that there are
Republicans who can take defeat and
yet prove loyal to the party, and the
''insurgent" Republicans Of Brook
county extend the hand OF friend
ship to those in the extreme west part
Of the state for their expression of
rue manhood.

the fact that he has great riches, say

thankful for his condition in life.
Now il John d. really wants to square
himself let him divide all he has, or
at least his income, with the poor and
we will guarantee he will eat better,
sleep better and be better than he is
at present. He needs to learn the
simplest yet greatest lesson in life,
which is that all there is in this life
worth living for is the good we may
do to others who really need aid.

WHAT STANDARD OIL Is

Mr.. Jermane's story of the ramitica'
tions OF Standard Oil, while known &c
a few, will come upon the average man
as a revelation. That the control OF
oil is no longer the principal business
Of the Standard Oil company must be
apparent from merely reading the list
OF business that the Standard Oil
crowd already owns or dominates. The
list runs from leather to steel and from
salt to copper. 1t includes railroads,
tobacco, sugar and insurance. 1t
omits nothing which can be bought
cheap and made dear.
The explanation Of this is that the
Standard Oil company has been phe-
nomenally successful. 1t has been
making for years about $45, OOO, GOO an
nually, 80 per cent Of which went into
the pockets Of John ID. Rockefeller and
what is known as the STANDARD Oil
family" This money was not de-
manded in the oil business, for, in adj
dition to declaring these dividends,
the Standard Oil company always sets
aside ample sums for development and
a comfortable surplus.
The profits must go into other in
dustries. And they have. They have
gone into copper and there is the
Amalgamated. They have gone into
steel and there is the steel trust They
have gone into railroads and there are
l 1000 miles OF trunk line controlled
by Standard Oil. They have gone in
to banking and there is the National
City bank OF New York, o~vershadow-
ing all competitors, but only the big
gest link in a chain Of financial insti-
buttons.
Now all OF this would be formid-
able and depressing enough il it were
known that these men had gotten to-
gether such swollen fortunes honestly.
But when it is known that the Stand
ard Oil company was conceived in
fraud, born in dishonor and has lived
in disgrace, its continued audacious
operations become a positive menace to
society. 1t makes the application OF
the full rigors OF the law OF supreme
importance. For the Standard Oil
company has not been satisfied with
power. 1t has not been satiated with
licking up allied industries. 1t has
not had its hunger appeased with
grabbing everything ~profitablein sight,
from steel to tobacco. 1t seeks, and
every day gains, more control. 1t is
money mad.
Today it seeks to %crontrol the life
blood Of commerce, the money OF the
country. 1t plans to organize, reor-
ganize and direct the character OF the
currency, and it threatens with e~xtinc-
ton all who oppose the juggernaut
power OF its car. 1t is now so large
that its very size appears to be some
thing OF a protection. To knock
down the Standard now would seem
like knocking down the sky. So it
appears to the managers of the titanic
combination. But, nevertheless, the
insidious sapping and mining OF this
financial disease must be stopped

Severely Injured In Fall.

Murdoch Nelson, foreman of crew
of carpenters at work on the Great
Northern ice house which is being
erected in the east end of the yards,
was the victim of an accident last Fri
day afternoon which luckily did not
result in any serious injuries. The
staging gave way and he fell headlong
from a platform used for loading ice,
a distance of 16 feet to the ground,
landing on his right shoulder. He
was quite severely bruised as we'll as
badly shaken up, but fortunately no
bones were broken. He was at once
taken into the crews boarding car,
where he was cared for until the
arrival of physician. DR.. E. S.
Frost arrived and took the injured
man to the hospital. While careful
examin alton revealed the fact that no
bones were broken, yet his injuries
were of a very painful nature. It was
not thought that he suffered from any
internal injuries.
