Congress convened Tuesday noon
and Speaker Cannon was reelected
TO his honorable position. President
Roosevelt presented his message of
thirty thousand words and presents
some very important subjects for con-
s%ideration by congress. The president
discussed the Interstate commerce
law, the Sherman ANTITRUST law.
pure food, currency, revenue, the
tariff, income tax and inheritance
tax, a general enforcement Of law,
inland waterways, public lands. and
the other subjects which usually
come In for attention in a presi-
dental message. Throughout his
message the president frequently
quotes from some of his former mes
sages and they show a Justification
In nearly every case for bis position
at that time. The message is we'll
worth the reading trom beginning
to end, for the Roosevelt message
takes on an individuality and Il free
expression of thought that is really
wholesome.

plainly that "a churchman'' should
make an effort TO prove his state
ment. The poins is that this
unknown correspondent of the Pierre
Dakotan, in which the statement
first appeared, can take the .appclla-
tion to himself and none will be the
wiser, but the Pierre paper, after
opening its columns to a c%orrespon.
dent and permitted the lie to be
told. ought to force the co%rrespon-
dent to make good his statement.
But "chufchman'' seems to be
willing to let it go at that, having
sown the seed he hopes that the lie
will spread and that the truth. as is
often the case, will travel very slowly
in its efforts to overtake it.

record stands without being white
washed. His letters to parties in
the state show his attitude un the
passage Of the primary law and 1t
was no worse than any opposition
that came from Senator K%ittfehge.
Can the governor call himself at
all consistent when he urged the
election of Gamble when he COM
mitted the same crime and is fighting
Senator Kittredge for doing just the
same thing. The governor should at
least re-ar1ange his plan OF attack
or make up a dilferert story. In
either cast he is excusiag a fault in
a friend and enlareing upon in 1T the
case OF his political enemy.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1907-12-06

As o of the causes for Governor
Crawford's opposition to Senator
Kittredge and why he wants the
senator retired to private life. is
because Senator K%ittredge opposed
the primary law in the legislative
session of 1905 It was a pet measure
of the governors and he used every
possible endeayor to secure its pass
age. Along about the same. time
Senator Gamble vas trying to do a
little effective work to make it i'm
possible TO pass the primary law.
The senator wrote a n%umherof let
tiers back 10 his political friends in
this state and urged them to work
against the passage of the measure.
Last January during the legislative
session Senator Gamble was a en-
didate for reelection. Did anyone
hear Governor Crawford raise his
voice against the reelection of MI.
Gamble because he also opposed the
passage OF the primary law? Not a
syllable. Did Governor Crawford
make any attempt to punish the
Yankton senator because he was
against that law. OH. no! The
governor only used Ills best efforts to
make the road easier to re-elect the
senator, and it wasn't his attitude
on the primary law either that
Senator Gamble had to conieHd with.
That was the smallest Of his tronbles.
When it came to putting an %insurgent
into office all objections were swept
aside as unworthy OF consideration
simply because they came from the
staiwaft side of house. After the
white washing process was finished
Senator Ga,nble stood forth in new
raiment that was as pure as the

singing Nearer, My God, to Thee"

man to represent South Dakota In

that is brought forth by the insuI-

OF any other excuse 1t will serve the
