Come to Our Table.
CRAWFORD AND LAND FRAUD


alleged land fraud against Coe l..
Crawford, the reform candidate Tor
governor. was laid before the federal
grand jury which has just concluded
it's session here and that no indict-
ment was returned. Ii was not the
intention OF the Argus Leader to
allude to this distressing matter,
but Mr.. Crrwford, in his nervous
desperation, has himself mentioned
ii in public address at Brookings'
has claimed that II is conspiracy
to ruin him, and that the depart
ment Of Justice, in proceeding in the
case against him, is acting under
inspiration furnished by the state
organization.
We ask the people OF the state to
consider for moment what tins
charge means. II means that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is charged with per-
uniting his administration to be
used to ruin the good name OF a
public man, by bringing false
charges against him in the name OF
the government, in order to pro-
mote the fortunes Of state machine
which he is declared to be opposed
to. Mr.. Crawford should hang his
head in shame for making such a
charge. There is not a man with
ordinary intelligence in the state
who can for single moment be
made to believe il. Ii is a direct
charge of the most astonishing
nature against the department OF
Justice. Attorney General Hall said
at Brookings that the government
acting under inspiration from "the
machine" had sent special repre-
sentative to "persecute Crawford"
and that cit was deep laid conspir-
acy for political reasons" Mr.. Hall
declared that Elliott resigned
because he thought there was plot
against Crawford in which the gov
eminent was OF course involved, to
ruin him politically, andHall declar-
ed that there was no evidence what
ever against Crawford.
For the past year the department
mas been trying to put stop to land
graft. The government can not be
inspired to bring such case by
political influence and can not be
stopped by political influence. A
United States senator within the
year has been convicted and died
from shame few weeks after. An
Episcopal minister in the Black
Hills is under conviction now, and
great pressure was unable to secure
a pardon from President Roosevelt.
The inspectors who were investigat-
ing the land frauds in this state
struck trail which led to Crawford,
and witnesses were summoned to
appear before the grand jury. The
Argus Leader does not know what
the evidence was and it is not our
purpose to discuss the charges.
This newspaper only knows from
hearsay what they are. The editor
has never talked with government
inspector on the subject, and he has
never before mentioned the matter
in these columns. We do so here to
call the attention Of the South
Dakota public to the savage assault
which Coe I. Crawford and Philo
Hall, in their desperation, have
made, not alone against the state
organization OF South Dakota, but
against President Roosevelt and his

TRAGEDY AT MANSON FAIR.
Prominent Farmer Killed by Blow
With Fist.

Fort Dodge, Sept. with cries of
"Hang him!" Hang him!" ringing in
the air, Myrton Tuller chief Of police
of this city, was brought to Fort Dodge
Wednesday to escape the vengeance
of mob which threatened him for
the killing of George Dugan Of Man
son, at the county fair at that place
Wednesday afternoon.
George Karns of Summers, and
Frank Connolly Of Fort Dodge became
involved In a heated argument over a
mishap in the last heat of the 800
trot, which Connolly had won. Karns
and Connolly finally came to blows,
and George Dugan attempted to assist
Karns, when Tuller interfered and
struck Dugan several stinging blows
in the face. Dugan walked short
distance and dropped dead. A crowd
at once formed and Tuller was placed
under arrest.
En- route to jail several hot heads
attempted to form mob to mete out
dire punishment to Tuller, but others
prevented and the man was placed in
Jail.
Tuller was soon after given pre-
liminary hearing, when it was decided
to await the coroner's verdict before
placing charge against him. AS a
measure of safety the prisoner. under
a strong police guard, was brought to
this city in an automobile at top
speed He will remain here until
charges are formally preferred.

fetal suspension of hostilittes which
began in Santa Clara and Havana
provinces would be extended to Pinar

to get among their comrades and 9TH

for peace. Gen. Menocal appears not
to be discouraged by the attitude of

the capital for the most part as not to
be considered. These demands In

TIE "ULTINATUM" TO MAGOON.

It is reported that the Cuban Liberal leaders
have presented a practical ''ultimatum" TO Gov
ernor Mag COON. They don't want to play any
more unless he will give them all the moves
in the game which they want. He must make
clean sweep of their political opponents and
give them all the offices. Otherwise they will
refuse longer to cooperate with him. They will
boycott him. They will protest against his re-
naming there any longer. and, indeed, against
any further American occupation and control
of the island. What is he there for. they want
TO know, il not to give them the offices? What
business had the United States to intervene.
excepting for the exalted purpose Of turning
out the Ins and putting in the Outs?
Apart from the humor of the thing the eI-
qusitely comic notion of their thus trying TO
dictate policies to Governor Magoon, such an
attitude is deplorable and almost dishearten-
ing 1t evinces a radically false view and
estimate of the whole situation and of the
relation of the United States TO Cuban affairs.
In fact, this very protest, or threatened protest,
against American occupation unless for the
sake of partisan gain, is itself of the
strongest arguments for such occupation 1t
presents in most convincing light the need
of occupation until such time as the Cubans
shall come TO a more reasonable frame of mind.
For the question is not one of government by
this party or by that party, but of any gov
ernment at all by the people of Cuba
The United States cares nothing for COnserva-
tive or Liberal, for Whig or Periwg. 1t is no

manner. when they are again intrusted with
self government. For the present. party gov
ernment has ceased to exist in Cuba There is
simply American government, at the impartial
hands of Charles f. OIagOOn He will make use
of such men as he regards best suited TO the
purpose of restoring order and autonomy. If
the Cuhans do not like that policy they have
only themselves to blame. The United States
