The railroads are again sowing
the wind in bleeding Kansas.
Representatives of the various
lines in that state met Wednes-
day at Kansas city and fixed a
new schedule Of freight rates in
defiance of the maximum freight
law passed by the last legisla-
ture. The rates fixed are so per
cent increase over present rate
which is up to the maximum
limit fixed by the state law. 1t
will be particularly hard on in
dependent oil shippers, placing
them at serious disadvantage
with the Standard Oil which has
a tank car monopoly. It will not
cheaper the vile oils shipped
from Kansas to South Dakota by
the grace of the present state adj
ministration at Pierre.

The Treason of Our Senate

1t is safe to say that the record
made by the last South Dakota
senate will not be referred to
with pride by the majority of that
body or their defendants in the
future. In addition to the in
fanny of refusing to submit to the
people of this state the question
as to whether they desired a pri-
mary law or not, they refused to
pass a joint resolution endorsing
the policy of President Roosevelt
concerning railway rate regula-
ton. But in the light of recent
events in Iowa, which state is
likely to have the distinction OF
initiating the movement which
will result in an amendment of
the U. S. constitution providing
for election of senators by direct
vote of the people. The record
of these senator's will excite any
thing but a feeling of pride. In
years to come South Dakotans
will wish that the record of the
treason of this senate might be
expurged from the chronicles of
the state. 1t will be hard to cred
it the truth of the senat journal
which relates that on January
Fl, 1905, a joint resolution favor
ing election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people,
introduced by Senator Cook of
Aurora, was reported back from
the committee on elections that
it do not pass" on the same day,
a case of hagrantly indecent
haste, and this report was adopt
ed by a vote of IS to Z. The very
essenceof machine republicanism
is distrust of the people and in
solent refusal to enlarge their
powers, and the senate is always
the servile tool of this treasonous
machine.

The News says there if no
more devoted follower of the
president in the senate than
Senator Kittredge. The irony
of this statement would be more
apparent if the News had ex-
copied Senator Aldrich. There
are Representatives Burke and
Martin also most devoted fol-
lowers of the president. The
same fellows who, through their
local representatives in the lobby
at Pierre a year ago, hada resolu-
ton endorsing the policy Of the
president derisively tossed into
the legislative waste basket.

June LIST and End are the dates
of second annual entertainment
of the South Dakota Travelling
Mems association which will be
held this year in Aberdeen. It
is certain that something will be
doing on those days in June.
The many committees and mem
bership of those committees
which have just been made pub.
lie, are enough to impress a per-
son with the idea it will be an
event. Last year the knights
of the grip met at Watertown, and
the State band of this city con.
tributed a part of the band music
on that festal occasion.

Crafty Kittredge

The announcement now comes
that Senator Kittredge will sup
port the Hepburn bill in the SEN
ate. This means that the rail-
roads have given up the fight as
far as open opposition is con-
cerned. Scarsely more than a
week aslo the senator holly re-
scented being classed with those
who opposed this bill, saying he
had formed no opinion of it, be-
ing ST busy he had not even read
it. Now it seems he has read it
and sees all its defects and sug-
gests how it should be amended.
He is not averse to having people
note the fact that he is an ex-
ceedingly bright man. Senator
Dolliver, who wrote the bill, has
been studying this rate regula-
ton question for over a year al
most to the exclusion of every
thing else, yet u senator dis
engaging his mind from Panama
canal matters for a moment
points out grave defects that
Deliver and the president had
overlooked. What a marvellous
thing a great mind is.
Really Senator Kittredge's
main concern about this bill has
been to ascertain whether or not
it could be defeated. If it be-
came certain that the passage of
the measure was a foregone con-
clusion, he could be as agile in
mounting the band wagon as
Representive Burke.

scales at five or six pounds are touted
as twelve or fourteen Founders. Inc
editor is expected to back up the lie.
The average newspaper man is gong
to have a hard enough time to get IN
to heaven without this addltlonal
burden.
Pukwana Press-Reporter: If Cover
nor Elrod is renominated by the Re
publicans of South Dakota he ought
to be showed under such an avalanche
of votes that the election judges Will
never be able to figure out the NUMBER
of his defeat. 1t is certainly unlor-
tunate for the Republican organlza-
ton of this state that it hasn't a can
didate with some political Judgment,
some individuality, and a little moral
stamina. 1t would be perfectly justl-
fed to ask Mr.. Elrod to get out OF the
way and make room for a man VINO
would be a credit to the state. 1t is
little wonder that the Crawford forces
feel greatly encouraged, and arc gain
ing some support in places where 1t
was not looked for.
The Argus-Leader: South Dakota
will be a great and wealthy state. In
a few years it will be wholly out OF
debt, and it has so, 900 acres OF land
which if held can be sold in the future
for a sum large enough to build a ca
pitol four times as large as the one
now planned. The state can make
good money by holding its capitol
lands. 1t would be better to issuelow
interest capitol bonds, if this can be
done, rather than to sell the lands at
less than they are worth, or croWding
them on the market when there is no
demand for them. We believe the
present duty of the commission is
clear-to refuse to let any contracts
under the present plans, and to with
hold any action until there is enough
money in sight to put up the right
kind of a building Of the right kind of
material.

A republican who served six
years as a member of the board
of regents has written to the
Mitchell Gazette a scathing ar
regiment of the republican party
machine for subjecting the edu-
cational institutions of the the
state to political interference.
He points out the fact that in
1901 the legislature passed a bill
giving to the governor the power
to remove a member of the board
of regents without hearing or
trial. He claims the governor of
no state in the Union possesses
such power, and that it was lodg-
ed in the hands of a governor
subserYient to the machine boss
to make the regents feel at all
times that the good will of the
party boss is all that stands be-
tween them and peremptory dis
charge from Office. This piece
of legislation could not have been
more vicious or discreditable if
the power of dismissal of a re-
gent had been placed directly in
the hands of the state chairman
of the dominant party.
