thousands of men and women as Mr..
Curtis. Mr.. Curtis has travelled
several times around the world, visit
ing every country under the sun, and
writing a larger number Of brilliant
and interesting letters of travel than
were ever before produced by a single
hand. Many Of these have later been
reprinted in book form. One of his
latest expeditions for The Record
Herald was through Mexico, resulting
in series Of letters as entertaining
as those he wrote few years ago from
India, Turkey and the Holy Land
His forthcoming letters from Ireland =,
Russia and Germany will rival in
importance and interest any of his
previous contributions.
Beginning mis- career in Chicago as
a reporter in 1872, Mr.. Curtis rapidly
rose to be managing editor. He re-
signed that position to accept a
government appointment as secretary
of the South American commission.
So brilliantly did he perform the
duties Of this office that James G..
Blaine, Secretary OF State, placed him
at the head of the Bureau of American
Republics. At the worlds fair in
Chicago he distinguished himself as
the executive head of the Latin-Ameri-
can department. He is member of
almost every learned society in Wash.
ington and OF many in Europe. 1t is
not strange that The Record-Herald
prints Mr.. Curtis letter every day in
the first column of the front page,
and that nothing but California
earthquake can displace it from that
station Of honor.

There may be political fight on in
South Dakota at the present time,
but if so it is too quiet to fully realize
it. We are OF the opinion that the
principal fight will be over the cleo
ton Of members Of the legislature.
In fact we are fully satisfied that that
is the exact condition OF affairs and
especially so regarding members of
the state senate. A candidate will
have to come out flat-fOOted and state
exactly where he stands regarding his
choice for /. ). Senator and his posi-
ton in regard to the platform adopted.
The issues have been fully defined
and they must be clearly met and
lived up to. The people have a right
to expect and will demand it.-CaStle-
wood Republican.
Yes, and it is just as we'll to select
delegates to the county convention
who are known to have worked for the
election OF delegates to the state con-
vention who formed the ''insurgent"
side of the proposition. Unless this
is done all that has been accom-
plished may and no doubt will come
to naught. Make the victory for the
welfare OF the state good and strong.
There is no necessity oitaking chances
any more than there was in the recent
contest.

work done in the recent campaign al"
select a county committee that will
be OF assistance to them two years
from now. Not only this but these
same fellows want to get delegates
that will nominate legislative
ticket that will do their bidding rather
than further the interests of the
county. We can assure every voter
in Bookings county that the citizens
OF Bookings have no desire to act
unfair in selecting the office holders
OF the county. We, as citizens, can
no more suppress the aspirations of
gentlemen within the city limits, than
White, Elkton or any other town in
the county can. Every body has a
perfect right TO enter the race for
public Office and to deny anyone the
privilege is unfair. So far as the city
Of Breokings is concerned we have
repeatedly said that it would be more
to our interest to have every county
official elected from outside precincts
because this increased the population
and brought the very best timber
from the country to this city to reside
permanently. This however does not
prevent persons within the city limits
having desire to occupy positions of
trust. For all we know White, Elk
ton, Volga, Bruce, Bushnell or Aurora
may each have an aspirant for every
office within the gift OF the people,
but even il this were true no one has
a right to say any OF the towns named
want to hog the whole ticket" We
believe we speak the sentiment OF the
whole city, aside from few who
aspire to county office, that as a
people we are more interested in
having the very best kind OF material
selected for the members OF the legis-
lature-men who will voice the senti-
ment OF the people as expressed in the
recent campaign in this county-men
that will not need a guardian to see
that they do not block legislation
demanded by the people-men that
are wide-awake to the interests OF the
county and who will be able to cope
with those who are attempting to
destroy the wholesome influence OF
the State Agricultural college. Every
other county having q state institution
is earnestly advocating the selection
OF able men to look after home inter-
ests in the coming Legislature and
Brookings county must do likewise
or her interests win suffer. Don't be
bamboozled by those goblin stories
about "Brookings getting into the
trough" Stand by your guns the
same 40 you did in the recent cam
pafgn and send delegates to. the con-
vention that are awake 10 the interests
OF the whole county and there will be
| no reason why q the same time you
will not dsmonstrate that those dele
| gstss will act wisely lin. the selection
Of county 0hRcials.

The Republican party of South
Dakota mapped out a distinct plan
OF procedure a few months ago and
in their caucuses and county and
state conventions declared that those
who had been IN control Of the party
organization should take back seat
and that new men, who were in har-
mony with the progressive admins
tratiOn of Theodore Roosevelt, should
be given charge Of state affairs. The
result of the state convention has
met with universal approval through
out the state, excepting perhaps the
klttredge-C element. There still
remains an important feature to be
looked after by every voter who has
been interested in Wrestling the party
from corrupt bossism and that is the
selection OF representatives to the COM
ing legislative assembly who will act
in harmony with Coe. /. Crawford
when he has been elected governor.
III We as advocates OF reform in our
educational institutions, and who
believe in the primary system of vot-
ing, and other needed legislation as
set forth in the platform of the party,
do not see that members of the legis-
tature are carefully selected, practi-
cally all that has SO far been accom-
plished will be for naught. 1t is not
good policy to send men to the legis-
lature who are in sympathy with the
kittredge-Crane faction or who worked
with that element during the recent
They may be sincere in
their statements, but il they are let

hands with the people in selecting

the end. II they do this we will
believe in their sincerity and not
until then.

This paper has endeavored to keep
aloof from the thrusts and parties that
have been going on between the pub
fishers OF ''insurgent" and machine"
newspapers, in hope that the ina

be better for them to cease their
pickering and abide by the result Of

approaches for the coming caucuses,
however, it is plain to be seen that the

an attempt to capture the county
organizations throughout the state.

forward and in another they have
some other ''good and sufficient

There should be nothing too good
for any citizen Of Brookings county to
wish for every other portion OF the
county. AS commonwealth any,
thing that helps portion OF the
county indirectly at least, helps the
whole county. The State Agricultural
college is, to be sure, maintained by
national and state funds but it is
within the borders OF Brookings
county and this being the case every
citizen OF the county should have a
deeper interest in its upbuilding than
citizens OF the state located elsewhere.

means greater success or failure to
this county. Then why not Join

anxious to secure such positions. This

In the early morning the crowds
which spent most of the night at the
bulletin-board were gathering again
At no time had the place been entire
ly deserted. Several men had never
been out of eyeshot of the bulletins
One of them, a shock-headed youth in
overalls and wearing the cap of a
government electrician, sat on the
stone curbing by the entrance to the
power station, smoking small black
pipe, seemingly more occupied with
meditation than observation.
Most of the men who were now gath
ering about the board, were coal miners
on their way to the shafts. Here and
there were electricians. The vastness
of the power station from which they
had come, was no more than suggested
from where the crowd stood, the build
ings being partially hid in grove Of
trees.
The groups of miners and electric
ians were almost silent They seemed
to have exhausted comment and sur
mise, and to be waiting for the tangible
to take place Of conjecture.
On the Verge of War.
In Washington the federal news edi-
tor apparently had worn out himself
and his staff in keeping up a detailed
account of the all-night session of Con-
gTess. AS daylight came, the service
wabbled, and what had been a con-
nected, well-sustained story Of congress
sional proceedings had slumped to
series of jerky bulletins Of which the
last had come a half-hour before, read
ing:
williams still has the floor. He is
making no headway against the major
ity. War seems inevitable"
To the men starting for the shafts,
this carried no news which they had
no known before they had gone away,
a few hours earlier, to get such sleep
and rest as they could.
While they stood watching, another
bulletin came:
Congress has taken an hours re-
cess for breakfast. No action"
The coal miners in the crowd read
this, and then started for work. Soon
there were left only a few scattered

Mail by Airship.
4 speck developed in the eastern sky
and drew nearer, enlarging rapidly.
Then the Washington mail came into
sight, and landed at the areoplane sta
tion near the entrance to the power
station. A mail clerk came down the
elevator after the sacks had been
thrown into the chute. He was ques-
toned eagerly by the men still stand
ing about the bulletin board, but had
nothing of news later than that which
the bulletins had given them.
AS he stood talking, another message
was flashed on the board:
WILLIAMS says that opposition 10
the majority will cease. War Will be
declared before night"
At that the shock-headed youth arose
suddenly from the curbstone, walked
rapidly through the gates and on into
the grounds of the power station.
