The Election and Senator Kit
tredge.


tredge.
Dell Rapids Tribune: 1t appears
to be the opinion of the Sioux Falls
newspapers, Republican as well as
nti-Republican, barring Senator
Kittredge's own newspaper, the Ar
gus-Leader, that the sweeping victory
won by the anti-machine element of
the Republican party throughout the
state, the failure of the machine ele-
ment to elect enough members Of the
legislature to block the anti-machine
administrations program and reform
measures, and the sorry victory won
by the machine element in Minneha-
ha county means the certain defeat
of Senator Kittredge if he comes up
for reelection two years hence. 1t is
generally understood that Governor
elect Coe l. Crawford will be the anti
machine candidate for senator, and
the results of the campaign this year
afford good prospects that he will win
by an overwhelming majority if the
Republicans carry the state in 1908,
however this county may stand on
the senatorship. The position into
which Minnehaha county has been
forced by the machine since the state
convention, in antagonism to the
new dominant element in the state,
will not, it may be readily under
stood, cause the rest of the state any
feeling of compunction about wrest-
ing the senatorship from it, but rath-
er it will tend to bring into line for
Crawford number of counties that
might otherwise be doubtful, the
feeling through the state being that
Minnehaha county, dominated by
the machine, has played the hog for a
good many years, and because Of its
futile attempt to rehabilitate the ma
chine and antagonize the new state
administration, deserves to De left out
in the cold. Hence the indications
are now that if the Republicans carry
the state two years hence Minnehaha
county will lose the senatorship; and
that, in any event, Senator Kittredge
will not be reelected.
That the situation is well under
stood at machine headquarters is
evidenced by the editorial utterances
of some of the machine newspapers at
Sioux Falls. The Sioux Falls Journal
which supported the machine
throughout the campaign this year,
goes SO far as to say that in all prob
ability Senator Kittredge will not be
a candidate for reelection. The
withdrawal of Senator Kittredge as a
candidate would not be surprising
denuement, considering the situation
but he may stand asa candidate in an
effort to carry Minnehaha county fol
some other machine candidate.
The people OF Minnehaha county
may well regard with equanimity the
irrespective defeat of Senator Kit
tredge, even though it results in tn.

The Option is Strong.

The st. Paul Dispatch has discover
ed something. 1t says: "A town in
South Dakota has been named "Tea"
We presume that it will operate und-
er local option.
The Dispatch is correct. Local OPP
tion works nicely with Tea.

INSPECTING THE CANAL.

With commendable energy and
promptness. number OF members of
the present City Council took means "a
soon as the condition Of the ground
would permit. TO inspect the Utah and
Salt Lake canal, This inspection was
with n view of determining what was
necessary to put 1t In condition to carry
the water from the lake which the
farmers would require by their contract
with the city In exchange for the waters
of Big Cottonwood canyon.
This Is work which ought 10 have
been done in the pleasant days of last
fall, before the SHOWS covered the bench
lands. IF the work had been done then,
the condition OF the canal could have
been readily ascertained; the places
where repairs We're necessary deter
mined, and, In fact, the most OF the
work. If not all OF 1t, could then have
been done most profitablys but this
was wholly neglected. and the mat
ter left for the opening of spring when
the irrigation season Is on and when 1t
would be most Inconvenient to do the

spected. cleaned and repaired last fall.
as 1t was the duty of the then city ad-
ministration to do, an important part
of the work would now be out OF the
way. and the old administration would
have something definite to show for It's
large expenditure of money. AS 1t ia
now, however, there Is really nothing
worth while TO show for all the money
spent and the canal must now be
cleaned and strengthened right In the
time Of year when it viii be most i'm
portant to use 1t.
We commend the energy and enter
prise of the new Councilmen and of the
new administration which so early
takes up this problem. We trust that
the interest In this may not lag. for the
canal is the important factor in this
business Unless 1t Is put in good re-
pair and carries the water that Will be
needed by the farmers I'm exchange for
the canyon water. the city Will be liable
a any moment TO be cut off from what
ever supply II may be able TO get from
Big Cottonwood. Just what II Will be
able 10 get from that source is not yet
very well known The old administra-
ton insisted that the supply would be
ample. The new administration has not
yet been able to find out precisely up
on what that claim was based, but no
doubt investigation will show. and then
the condition OF the supply will be more
clearly defined. But at any rate. the
canal must be cleaned and repaired,
and the vigilance of the Councilmen in
taking hold of that work so early must
be heartily approved by the public.

THE GUARDS UNREADINESS.

Inquiry Is made, so the dispatches
report. as to the condition OF the Mon
tana National Guard. the query being
as 20 It's readiness for service In the
event of hostilities 1t is added that
1.-The Guard in Montana Is poorly
equipped for active service"
To which we may add, same here"
The Utah National Guard is also poor
ly equipped for active service. But
either in Montana or in Utah the Ma
tional Guard Is as fully equipped for
active service as call for such SER
wise Is probable There is scarcely
possibility OF any call by the National
authorities for the Montana National
Guard.
II Is not stated what the assumption
Is based on that suggests active service
for the National Guard; and 1T is prob
ably a bad guess that anything OF the
kind is to be expected. Far more like
ly is 1t that IT is merely an inquiry In
view of a special or regular inspection.
And II this Guard Is poorly equipped,
then the need of such inspection is evil
dent
There is no explanation made OF the
bad condition OF the National Guard
OF Montana. 1t Is not likely. however
that anything more than general
neglect or heedlessness is at the bot
tom Of Its bad condition II Is not
probable that the Guard In Montana
has been made the football of political
machines, that IT has been robbed
publicly and extensively to serve the
purpose OF partisan wlre-pullers. nor
that 1t has been kicked out of its own
quarters when 1t suited the purpose OF
the bosses and the rulers in partisan
manipulatlons to occupy those quar-
ters I'm defiance OF the rights of the
Guard and of decency and public pro-
priety All these things have been done
in Utah, where the Guard is made the
football of the designing, selfish plot
ters who override every claim and
every regulation and law that inter-
feres with their own selfish plots and
manipulations.
There is not the least likelihood that
the National Guard of either State is
about to be called into active service
by the Nation. And 1t is fortunate
that this is so. for they would be alto
gether unable to respond.

HIS CHANCES DESPERATE.

Major r. w. Young is quoted in the
loyalty as saying on his return from
Washington. that the sentiment In
Washington Seemed to favor Senator
Sroot's being retained. and his chances
are generally regarded as better than
they were" and further. From what
could gather from newspaper men. and
in general conversation, his chances OF
being retained are becoming steadily
better"
This is Characteristic talk. The evil
dcnCe is all the other way; therefore,
Major Young disagrees with 1t. His
conversations. of course. were chiefly
if not altogether with the little bunch
that favors Smoot; doubtless most OF
them In Smoots quarters. He wouldn't
think that any other sort Of conYersa-
tion amounted to anything or was
worth listening to. And when man
Is seeking for any particular thing, he
is pretty apt to find 1t, II his search Is
diIgent enough. No doubt. the Major
could have found considerable senti-
ment in Washington, il he had sought
diligently for 1t, on the side Of the re
cent revival of the old notion that tho
earth is fiat. And a report that he had
found this, would be quite as conclu-
sive as his report that Smoot's chances
ARE becoming steadily better"
The interview, however, is significant
in It's recognition of the point that
Smoot has been. and is still, In peril
that there Is yet fair chance OF his
losing the seat he occupies in the Sen
ate. This is the first time that the or
gan of falsehood and malicious disloy-
atty has allowed such a concession to
appear in its columns. Heretofore 1t
has constantly secuted the idea that
there could be the slightest danger of
Smoot losing that seat 1t has argued
with iteration, reiteration, and insist
est danger of Shoots being unseated,
that the charges against him amount
ed to nothing; and that the evidence
taken was all In his favor, But now
It allows Major Young to express the
hopeful view that things are not as
bad for Smoot as they We're which
means that his chances have been des-
perate And In spite of Major Young's
optimism. the decided weight of tesIi-
mony Is that those chances are now
more desperate than they ever were
before.

A SHAMEFUL CASE.

Another case of nagging persecution
OF a teacher In a sectarian school has
been reported In Cache county. Miss
Ada V. Taylor, teacher Of Presby-
terian school at Hyrum. has been an
noyed and insulted from time TO time;
the door of her chapel spattered with
mud, and the building stoned, and she
was hit on the head with stone
thrown by n fifteen-year- old hoodlum,
recently. Is she was walking along the
street.
There was no redress. The civil au-
thoritics were inert because the church
authorities were opposed to the young
lady and her school. 1t would not be
possible, of course. to conceive OF the
civil authorities taking any action TO
protect the teacher or preserve the
peace unless the church authorities
gave them permission to act, or want
ed them to act
Under that state of affairs. it was
not difficult to work up case At law
against the teacher. So II was entered
upon with the zeal OF churchmen and
the "reminiscences OF the law. the law
which could be invoked against her.
but could do nothing for her protec-
tion
An unruly little boy attended her
school, she reported his dolngs TO his
mother. who said to trounce the lad
when he misbehaved; the older sister
of the boy advised the same when she
heard of another case OF misbehavior.
The teacher administered the disci-
pline which was necessary, and that
had been duly authorized by the moth
er At once, the civil authority was
turned loose upon the teacher; the city
marshal arrested her. the justice Of
the peace advised her that her best
course was to pay fine; no lawyer
could be had for her defense. and she,
unlearned In the ways of the law, was
by the agents of the law robbed of
seven dollars and half in the way of
d fine
II is as flagrant a case of injustice
as could be imagined. The teacher was
treatment the church officials with
held the civil authorities from the ac-
tlon they should have taken In her be-
half; and the moment a case could be
trumped up against her. the ecclesias-
tics loosed the civil authority upon her,
charging her with assault and battery.
and, keeping back all legal assistance
for her, robbed her OF money under
the guise Of legal fine. 1t Is shame
full case, one much to the discredlt of
that community. and black stain
upon the governing church. which Is
responsible for II all both for the with
holding of the arm OF the law for the
teachers protection, and then for the
use of that arm to rob her, No one

business without feeling the flow of In

the world The most OF this went into
the coinage. It is impossible not TO
see in this powerful factor In the
increase OF general prices: for as gold

THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD.

The experts have figured out that the
worlds production OF gold in 1905
amounted to 1913. 745, 900 They also
reckon that gold will be produced at
the rate OF s4O0 900, 600 a year for many
years to come. so that the present
known quantity OF gold In use as
money-about $4,000, 900 000-wil be
dwarfed by the production of the next
twenty years. Four hundred million
dollars in gold weighs about eight hun
dred tons. 1t is an enormous product:
such an annual production a genera
tlon ago would have been considered
altogether out of the question. The
gold production of the greatest years
of the California output was insignin-
cant by comparison
For several years past, the world s
product of gold has In each exceeded
$500, 900 600. and the accession has been
both regular and rapid. We give the
nroduct herewith since 1890 inclusive.

NATIONAL AFFILIATIONS.

We sometimes hear the stupid and
blind adherents to ecclesiastical domi-
nance in the political parties ask why
the Republicans or Democrats who are
members of the American party do not
renounce their afiiliation with the Ma
tionel parties to which they belong. AS
If IL were n National crime TO seek to
establish American Ideas. American
loyalty, and American models in this
mountain region!
Such a question is precisely anala-
gous TO the demand of the Copperhead
wing of the Democratic party at the
outbreak of the War OF the Rebellion,
that such Democrats as affiliated with
the Union party. thus showing their
loyalty to their country, should re-
nounce their Democracy. 1t is of
par, also, with the demand made last
year in Pennsylvania that those Re-
publlcans who refused TO stand for the
Philadelphia gas steal and other forms
OF municipal robbery and corruption
should leave the Republican party,
American freemen are a law unto
themselves in the matter of party am
liations, as In other public matters,
They reserve to themselves the right
to deal In their own way with abuses,

versions. 1t is not necessary for

CANNED PAINTINGS.

Paintings under glass may now be
preserved indefinitely. Had the men OF
old known this the pictures of Apelles
might still live In the first freshness
OF their colors, and the work of Ra-

today as 1t looked when It left the
painters hands.
The method of preservation Is sim

1t Is preserved like fruit, 1t is sealed

WHY HE KEPT THE LAMPS.

New York Tribune.
NJ. H. Smith president of the Louis
vile & Nashville road, is known as
one of the hard headed" men of busi-
ness in the South. Fifteen years ago
when the gas system for lighting rail-
road cars was being introduced an
agent called on Mr.. Smith in the inter-
est of his company,
After explaining the new system the
representative asked permission TO fit
up coach. Mr.. Smith expressed him
self as doubling the efficiency Of the
new light and refused.
"Oh. well" said the gas man patron
iZingly you will have to come around
to us some day anyway"
Never as long as l am the head of
this road" replied Mr.. Smith.
Smith has kept his word. and the
Louisville & Nashville road is still
lighted by the old-fashioned lamps In
use twenty years ago.
