HOW ABOUT The MINORTTYa


The result is all the more striking In
this state for the reason that the ad-
ministration of state government has
not been criticised or condemned to
any notable extent. The claim that
state government has been clean and
effective has not been denied nor cali
ed In question. That government has
been business like and regular in most
important details is likewise matter
OF common agreement. Then why has
this revolt come at this time and
brought confusion TO the Organization
which admitted responsibility for the
condition OF government In this state? :?
There Is only one answer. The powers
and responsibilities of government
have been usurped by the organization
known familiarly as the machine, the
people have been manipulated to foster
this machine 10 power but the people
have not been represented. The lesson
that has been given by the uprising of
the people must be needed. The re-
buke which has been administered is
not primarily against individuals ex-
cept as individuals have sought
through personal ambition to thwart
the peoples will. The defeat is de.
feat OF corrupt principle. The VIC
tory is triumph for popular govern
ment and majority rule Yankton Press
and DGEotan.
There can be no popular rule without
representation for the minority
Where the majority uses the power it
possesses and likes" things for the
minority we have the situation on
which this whole insurgent campaign
was founded and fostered The insur-
gents, having won, will fall into the
same error unless the greatest care il
exercised. Indeed, already in Union
and Clay counties and probably others,
the insurgents, intoxicated with their
new found power, have gone further
than the stalwarts ever did in the sup
preston of the minority In both these
counties 1t has been the unvarying rule
for years to allow representation to the
minority; this year in both the minor
ity was mercilessly and completely
squelched. Gentlemen.if II you pound the
corpse too much you may galvanize it
back into life again.

BRO. WILEY OF the Vermillion
Republican Is maintaining finely the
reputation he gained two years ago as
political hoodOo. 1t will be remem-
bered that at that time he paid con-
siderable attention TO Union county
politics and succeeded in dividing our
county delegation aud about eleven
delegates OF Clay county supported Ell
rod. This year Bru. Wiley took q
square flop from Crawford to Elrod and
now both counties have gone solid for
Crawford and against Bro. Wiley.
Please don't say anything about our
going to the state senate this year,
Bro. Wiley. Really, we are too busy.
THE NEW MACHINE IN THE SADDLE.
The metaphor in the title line may
be little mixed but there is nothing
mixed in the result--at least as far as
Union and Clay counties are concern
ed. For more than ten years past,
probably throughout the entire history
of these two counties, the minority, no
matter how small it may have been,
has always been allowed representa-
tion. In 1904 and at other times the
temptation has been strong to bind the
hands OF minority with ironclad in
structions, but the temptation has un-
varyingly been put aside until this year
OF our Lord and the beginning OF the
reign OF the new machine. 1t has re-
mained for the faction of the repub-
lican party whose whole campaign has
been made for the ostensible purpose
OF smashing all machine control, to
inaugurate a more arbitrary and des-
potic machine than the late stalwart
organization OF blessed memory ever
dreamed OF in its palmiest days. Cen

The HOME TOWN PAPER BEST.


(By Frank b. Welch.)
Well, when it comes to papers,"
Said ''Honest Uncle john"
Discussing public subjects
With neighbor Hopkinson,
There's not publication
Ia all the blessed land
Can beat our own home journal,
I'd have you understand.
II know those city dailies
Are great, and all of that;
We have to see 'em often
To know just where we're at;
But, Jakers! just you tell me
Where we out here would be
II our little country paper
Each week we couldn't see.
And, while we're talking on it.
We're not so awful slow;
There's precious little going
That we don't get to know
Through this here little budget
That comes to US each week:
Ny land! it's full to busting
OF knowledge that we seek.
"Yes sirl I'll take my little Beacon
La preference to tn lot;
Al ills tn bill and always
Is Johnaie on tn spot;
We farming folks keep posted
Right up to date, who get
a little old home paper
It's good enough, you bet"
