Dirty Work on Part Of
Our Republican Machine

Newspaper people and others in
Washington who are posted on the
situation, are much amused at the
evident panic OF the triumvirate of
South Dakota statesman there and
the desperate means they are adopt
ing to discredit Senator Gamble at
home. Trips to and from South
Dakota are of frequent occurrence
with them while Mr.. Gamble goes
on serenely about his work and his
quiet confidence add much to their
very evident discomfort.
Those who are closely in touch
with the work done by all of them
in congress say that for efficient,
effective and helpful legislation for
the state, Mr.. Gamble for the same
length Of time can discount his rec
ord fifty per cent and then compare
fayorably with any single member of
the delegation, Notwithstanding the
suggestions of the Argus-Leader or
the Aberdeen News that all the
brains and ability are centered in
the other members of the delegation.
Another amusing feature of the
campaign Of "anything-to beat Gam
BILE" being carried on both there and
here in South Dakota was the
charge against Senator Gamble that
he had tried to steal one Of Martins
bills and that Kittredge called him
down for it in the Senate. The facts
of this case are that two years ago
4 Mr.. Martin asked Senator Gamble s
cooperation 10 putting through q
minor bill for adding certain lands
adjacent to the sanltarium at Hot
Springs as park in connection with
the sanitarium. Mr.. Gamble intro.

WASHINGTON LETTER GAG
HOW COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS
ARE JOBBED
RAILROADS ADVERTISING GRAFT
The "Washington Correspondence,
Letter" Fake Run by Private
Mailing Bureaus

"The campaign of education" that
has been going on so merrily in the
shape of Washington correspondence
letters to country papers continues
without Abatement. In fact it is
said these Literary" bureaus are
working with increased activity as
the time approaches when the
senate will center its undivided at
tention on rate legislation.
When Senator Dolliver made his
speech on the rate question a week
or SO ago he referred to the code of
Hammurabi, older than the Hebrew
Decalogue; older even than Abra-
ham, sitting before his tent, wherein
it was prescribed what man should
pay for transportation service in the
days of the sixth king OF the first
Babylonic dynasty. After quoting
sections declaring how many KA of
grain should be paid for days hire
of oxen and wogons and how many
Sc of silver for the hire of sailboats
he said:
IT will not read any further. I
have read enough to show the press
ing need there must have been for
the work OF literary bureau in
Babylon
In Washington where this Glitter.
airy campaign" is fully understood
the humor of the situation is fully
realized.
The ramiications of the transport
tation interests in this literary field
are many, There are independent
bureaus working in sort of I'M
conscious harmony. On door of a
Homo Life Building appears the
sign: carl w. Mayo" and tits here
and under the direction of this in
dividual that the Washington "cor-
respondence" letters that appear in
Our own state are prepared.
The really important thing about
the dissemination of railroad litera-
ture which finds its way into the col
umns of perhaps hundreds of news
papers throughout the country is
the fact that the news" presented
The Black Hills union and western stock review. [volume] (Rapid City, S.D.) 1904-19??, 1906-03-16

to thousands of readers over wide
area does not represent the impair
tial view of a correspondent employ
ed to get the truth to the best of
his ability, but, on the contrary, is
the product of persons who are paid
liberal salaries by the railroads in
this case to write 'snews" that
favors their interests. Those papers
which take the special Washington
news letters get breezy gossip from
the scene of national lawmaking, to-
gether with sprinklingof interest
ing matter pertaining to their res,
pective sections and localities in
some instances. 1t doesn't cost even
postage.
Somewhere in the column and
half-the usual length-of the
Washington letter, there is the ball
weavel, so to speak, of the whole
business-perhaps no more than a
short paragraph on the pending
railroad legislation, but a paragraph
rich with the sentiment that the
railroad interests are anxious to
create. Not many weeks ago the
tenor of the educational literature
which appears in this section in the
Journal was all one way-against
rate regulation in any form as
readers of that paper will remember.
Latterly there has been a change
and more is being said about the
necessity of having the broadcast
kind of a court review provision in
order that there may be no posi-
bility that the law enacted may be
declared unconstitutional by the
courts. This intense anxiety over
the question of constitutions that is
manifested through the literary
bureaus of the Washington educa-
tional campaign forms one of the
most humorous features of the situa-
ton.
Incidental to the exploitation of
pro railroad sentiment. which is the
main thing, it has been brought out
in connection with the operations OF
the literary bureaus that various
special interests are adopting the
same scheme or reaching the coun-
try and endeavoring to stir up SEN
timent for purposes of self-ipterest.
The same firm which does the widest
business in spreading literature for
the railroads has other clients, and
it is asserted the railroad end of the
industry is now an incident that is
being closed up. Naturally it will
close, temporarily at least, when the
present Congress has finished with
the rate question.
There will be other interests seek
ing cultivated sentiment, however,
and the especial correspondence"

The Story of Islueb,rd.


The Pioneer-Times last week
printed an animal story from the
pen OF William A. Warner. age 10
Detroit, which was awarded first
prize in a contest at that place.
Many people IN this city knew
Willie Warner and were almost as
familiar with "Bluebird' as they
were with willie" They were
constantly together and naturally
they passed through many exciting
escapades.
The writer was especially pleased
by the story owing to the fact that
he was very familiar with willie
and "Bluebird" and was conf.
dent of many of their adventures
planned for future performance,
Detroit Free Press.-One beauti-
full day in August, wheu I was nine
years old, my father bought me a
fine Shetland pony, saddle, bride
and spurs. There was not prouder
boy iii South Dakota than the owner
OF bright little "Bluebird." His
head was a mass of long black hair;
from beneath you would see two
very bright and mischevious ewes
His body was just as plump and
round as partridge, while his slen-
der little limbs were perfect. Being
ia blue roam in color and such a
swift runner, we named him "Blue-
bird"
Our kitchen seemed to be a great
attraction to him when he was al
lowed to Craze upon she lawn. BY
chance one day the door was left
open, and, no one being in the room
Bluebird felt at liberty to help him
self. Our. attention was attracted
by the pattering of little unshod
feet. i ran TO the kitchen and there
ne stood munching apples which Law
upon the table. The kitchen being
small and the range in full blast. it
took some expert plotting to get
him out without branding" him.
He disllked TO haye strange boys
ride, and would show his displeasure
in very effective manner. When
my friends visited me they would
be anxious to ride him, but after
o trial their enthusiasm waned. He
would stand quietly until they were
going to mount, when he would lift
This hind foot and playfully kick the
stirrup away. Usually the boys
would try twice and by that time
Bluebird's mettle was up and there
would be some fun. When they
again tried to mount, he would turn
quickly, toss his head and start for
them. Away they would run and
he after them snorting and stamp
ling. A few Jumps of sugar would
sweeten his temper and then the
boys would have nice ride,

Bill johnson was the funny man

Unless his name was on the bills,

But Bill had troubles, same as we,

Far worse than measles or mumps-

No rest for me. no fun until I've
