Bru"kings Register.
We can heartily endorse the main
portion OF the above article, but that
portion whom President Roosevelt
would like TO have assume the respon-
sibility OF advancing the ideas which
he has inaugurated, is an unsafe
position. We seriously doubt the wis
dom II establishing the PRECEDENT OF
the American people-either OF the
I'm ed States or a single state, OF an
outgoing president debating as to who
his successor ought to BE- Henry
Independent.
We admit that ordinarily this
would be "unsafe," but there are ex-
ceptions to all rules and this is one,
we believe. II the people, regardless
OF party lines, are in favor Of Theodore
Roosevelt for president and he will
not have the position, certainly there
would be no danger in consulting him
as to who in his opinion would be a
safe person to carry on the reforms he
has introduced.

Who has granted the A..G, license
10 declare what the Republicans OF
South Dakota want or Will have!
About a year ago Senator hlttredge
was doing all he could 10 thwart Presi-
dent Roosevelt in mis- measures to
bring the combines TO an account
The Argus-Leader thought the Presl-
dent Was Just a little radical. Many
OF the seli-nsmed "~stalwarts' declared
he Was crazy. President Ro~oseyelts
true friends resented these things and
Mr.. kiitredge and his co-consplrators
were given a severe rebuke by the
people at the primaries and also at the
election last fall. When those same
corruptionists commenced to shout Tor
Secretary TAFT the supporters OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt had good reason to
believe that there was a colored gentle
mar in the woodpile, and that Iaits
name was being used TO divide the
Roosevelt forces and secures delegation
from South Dakota 10 the national
convention which would be pllable
tools in the hands Of those opposed TO
the President and his theories. we
are not yet fully convinced that this
is not the secret plans OF these plotters.
Certainly there can be no harm TO
select delegation which will
be favorable TO the denomination OF
President Roosevelt or some n who
is in absolute harmony with his views.
There is another certainty and that is
the people will not be inclined to give
up one inch OF the ground they gained
last year. II those avowed enemies OF
much needed reforms really want to be
good there is no objection, but they
must shout a little louder for Teddy
and make fewer Gus Tor the trusts
before people will be inclined to give
them even a hearing. They need not
expect Roosevelt Republicans to go
into raptures so long as they attempt
t smirch the characters OF such men
as Coe |. Crawford, Philo Hall, Senator
Gamble and Col. Parker. We believe
Secretary Taft would do better to come
to South Dakota a total stranger rather
than chaperoned by the ''bunch" that
came near w~recking the Republican
party in this state. We know OF no
one who has the least enmity against
Secretary Taft. but we do believe that
he is making a mistake in choosing
company in this state that have not
yet seen fit to square" themselves
with the voters, and who are continually
swapping and snarling at those who
have been chosen by the people as
public servants.

Jarvis conducted a lumber yard there

DAM GOES CUT
Canyon Canal Company Meets
with Heavy Loss. Works
Hardships on Farmers.

Boise, May 15.-Defnite information
was received in this city at noon today
to the effect that the dam in the Payette
river near Horseshoe Bend was washed
out by high water at between and 10
o'clock this morning. The dam was
built by the Canyon Canal company at a
cost Of about $4,000 and was used to
raise the water for the much talked OF
Emmett bench lands.
Mr.. schmelzel, who is employed at
the Boise-Payette power station, short
distance above the dam, went down and
looked it over. Over the telephone to
Boise friends. he said the da ii broke be-
tween the middle and the south side and
was torn ont by the high water. The
entire dam had not yet gone out, but
seemed no way Of holding it. The flood,
he thought, did no damage below.
The effect OF the washout can only be
conjectured Thousands OF acres had
been put in cultivation aud the chances
are that all crops will be ruined before
the dam can be repaired. The loss will
be very heavy ON the Emmett bench
farmers.
