The employ of the company for twenty

cheney of the only real school of
mechanics in the state. In fact it
looks as if the board of regents
were trying their best to cripple
the only mechanical school in the
state in order to establish several
inferior mechanical departments at
different points. There can be
but one outcome, as we have stated,
students will seek higher mechan-
lcal training in other states. The
action Of the board of regents de-
serves severe criticism and the
members of the Legislature should
carefully consider the conditions
before they take final action in the
matter of making appropriations.

Shall the Minority Dictate?
n McC1ure's MAGAZINE. whi

In McClure's Magazine, while
reading Carl Schurz' Reminiscent
es of a Long Life, we ran across
the following: What we feared
was not merely that the principles
of Our anti-slaverly party might
be surrendered, and the fruits of
our victory frittered away, but
that under the influence of a
momentary panic a step might be
taken that would-to use a term
current at that time-meXicanize"
our Government; that is destroy
in il the element of stability which
consists in the absolute assurance
that when the officers of the gov
eminent are legally elected, their
election will be Internationally
accepted and submitted to by the
minority. When that rule is
broken, when the possibility is
admitted that after an election the
minority may prescribe conditions
mon the fulflmept of which its
acceptance of the results of the
election is to depend, the stability
OF Republican government is
gone"
This applies, not only to

did when he said: so long as
such a possibility exists, the
republic will be in a state O.
revolution" 1t is such acts thai
cause distrust, discomfort anG
turmoil as is now being intro.
duCed both in the national con.
gress and the state legislature
particularly here in South Dakota,
where the adverse influence OF
this misrepresentation of the
people is at work attempting to
destroy the will Of the majority.
when Abraham Lincoln was
elected, it was for the express
purpose Of doing away with what
the people believed were methods
of detriment to the stability of the
national government. When Gov
ernor Crawford was elected the
people expected that he would
enact certain reforms in this state.
When the people had by an over
whelming majority expressed
themselves as being supporters Of
President Roosevelt it was the
duty of a. B. Kittredge to at once
comply with the wishes Of the
majority of his constituents and
the same rule is applicable to the
recent state election. The conduct
OF the minority, however during
the investigation of the trusts, rail
way rate regulation, and the con-
struction of, the Panama canal,
has been anything but a credit to
kittredge or those who assisted,
and continue to assist him in his
attempt to thwart the wishes of
the people. Add TO this the con-
temptable attacks which are being
made upon the state and national
representatives of this people, who
are endeavoring to carry out the
instruction of their constituents
and you have a combination that
cannot fail in causing injury to the
Republican party. 1t is time
therefore that the Republicans of
this state form in line with the
full determination of supporting
those who are the friends of the
whole people and at the same time
place the stamp of disapproval
upon the acts of the obstruction
lists and the instigators of
revolution.

The magnanimity Of the state
regents Of education toward the
Agricultural college is something
remarkable. In their report which
has evidently been held from pub
LEGATION until late in the legislative
session, they recommend the ap-
preparation of $4,000 for mainte-
nance of the Agricultural college
and further recommend that an ap-
preparation of $79, 900 be made to
maintain the State University. We
repeat that this is certainly mag
unanimous in view of the fact that
the catalOgs of the two schools
show that the Agricultural college
has fifty per cent more students
than the University. Another item
which fully illustrates the wisdom
OF the learned board, is that of a
recommendation that the legisIa-
ture appropriate $500 for main
tenance of the mechanical depart
ment' at the University, when in
the University catalog we find that
II IS acknowledged that the me
chanlcaI department" aforesaid has
no equipment with which to in
struct students. Sooner or later
the people of this state will call a
halt on such methods. The Agri-
cultural college has a splendidly
equipped mechanical building and
employs a full corps of instructors.
The institution is obliged, under
the provisions establishing the
Agricultural colleges of the United
States, to keep and maintain a de-
partment of mechanics, and yet, in
the face of and knowing these
facts, the regents not only attempt
and have succeeded in Gripping
the college in various ways, but
they are encouraging the duplica-
ton of mechanics in several other
schools of the state and calling
upon the people to maintain them
whether they have actual depart
ments or apparatus to work with
or not. So long as this sort of
wisdom is INDUCED in by the re-
gents it may be expected that the
young men Of the state will con-
tinue to go elsewhere to receive
an education in mechanics, as they
will Judge the Agricultural college
mechanical course and equipment
by what they know is maintained"
in other state schools. To some
of us simple minded folks it looks
as though it might be we'll to build
up one first class mechanical de-
partment and furnish maintenance
for that rather than to try to please
certain ones and destroy the eff

obStruCt and mislead. Attempts
are made TO diScredit the motives
of President Roosevelt. The
trusts and railway combines in
structed those senators over which
they had a controlling influence, to
block every avenue of progress
along lines of reform and investi-
CATION. In face of the fact that
the voters of this state had express
ed themselves emphatically in
favor Of sustaining the President
in his laudiable views all friends
of good government and many Of
the warmest supporters of Senator
Kittredge we're astoniShed to find
that the senator from South Oak
Ota either abSented himself from
voting or openly opposed the
adoption Of the expressed wishes
of the majority, While this OPP
position has not entirely DESTROYED
the influence of the President it
has no doubt delayed progress.
Not only did Senator Kittredge
show that he was not the friend of
the nation, but he delayed the in
PRODUCTION of reform measures
here at home through his manip-
ulation of the affairs in the legis-
lature of two years ago. That his
motives were selfish there can be
no question and no denial has been
made by those who have been
willing tools in his hands.
Last year the Republican party
of this state manifested their dis
approval of the acts of Senator
Kittredge. and his followers in a
manner that.ought to have at least
brought tn e m to a realization
of the conditions. Nevertheless
they have continued their unfair
attacks upon those whom the
voters have elected to office.
Their acts are precisely the same
as these of the "obstructionists"
of 1860. 1t is a rule or ruin policy,
and the character of every op-
ponent to unfair combinations
the elected officials of the people,
who have taken their oath off
office to carry forward the desire
of the majority-have been
unnecessarily assailed, and con-
tinue to be assailed by these
assassins of good government.
What can Kittredge or his
followers hope to accomplish by
such methods if it is not to destroy
the stability of the governments
