the president says the word he will

What a high conception OF politics
the insurgent republicans have. At
Parker. last week Senator Kittreuge
was billed to speak there in the
interests Of some local organization,
the receipts of the lecture to be given
to the society. A few pictures Of
the senator were displayed in the
city, tackled up In various places,
and a day or two before the lecture
was given the cards were torn down
and destroyed, and n Of the leading
insurgents of the city and county
openly charges his fellow Insurgents
with the dissertation Of the %
tors picture. That is a very POOR
manner In which to get even with
the senator simply because he holds
a different opinion or CERTAIN poiiti-
cal ideas than the insurgents. Such
an act of vandalism does not appeal
with any great force to men OF sense
and Judgment and it is said that
as a result Of these acts that many of
the insnrgents.are coming to the sup
port OF the senator.

The panic in Wall street is about
over. Some years ago such a panic
would have sent CONSERVATION into
every small town in the northwest,
but the west has been progressing
so rapidly that 1T has been able to
store away enough money of its own
and was not dependent on the New
York financial center. In the past
few years there has been a gradual
drawing away from Wall street,
until nov the west Is operating
entirely outside the influence of the
ouce great financial center Of the
country. Once out of the clutches
Of that horde Of money changers the
west. 1t is believed, will never get
back IN again.

The Farmers National Congress
has taken another shy at the free
seed distribution at Washington, and
passed a. resolution. with not a dis
senting vote. recommending to con
gress tho abolition of the policy Of
sending free seeds all over the coun-
try. Originally the free seeds we're
distributed for the purpose Of inter
est,ng the farmers in the cultivation
Of rare and valuable plants. This
sane kind Of a resolution has been
adopted before by the farmers con-
gress and with the same result that
the seeds will again be sent out every
year at a cost Of about $500, 600. The
congressman seem 10th to lose their
hold on their constituents in giving
up the free seed distribution and we
presume that 1t will 90 on forever.

republicans of South Dakota are for
the president and his principles
which have wrought such a change
among the trusts and corporations.
Anybody who has kept in touch
with the president knows full we'll
that he has expressed a choice for
his successor to the presidency

the big job in a way that is salts
factory to the nations chief. And
it seems that the president s choice
Is being groomed In every possible
way for the position In acquainting
himself with the conditions IN all
the possessions OF the United States.
The stalwarts are pronounced in
their support Of the president and
Mr.. Taft. The insurgents are equally
in favor Of the president, but on
the second choice they are strangely
silent. They should have no hes
itancy in coming out for Mr.. Taft,
for In that way they can make the
people Of the state believe that they
are really sincere for the president.
When they get to talking about
Senator LaFollette 1T is evident that
their pretended friendship for Presi-
dent Roosevelt is almighty thin, and
that they need to take something for

No sooner had the panic in Wall
street got partly over than did Will
liam j. Bryan come out with a state
ment as to what he would do under

Bryan might do is not of any great
interest to the people OF the country.
He has so often given forth a panacea
for the ills Of the country that there
is not much faith placed in his reme-
dies. Yet, Mr.. Bryan is anxious to

ment for the democratic nomination

Senator Long, of Kansas, has just
been down to Washington and has
had an interview with the president.
The senator said that Kansas would
be for Secretary Taft for the presi-

said that he believed the president
meant what he said three years ago
when he declared that he would not
be a candidate for the nomination.
On those grounds the senator from
Kansas declared that Kansas would
be for the secretary.

siderable notoriety Of q very high

ten years ago. He bought the
Journal, q daily paper that was
about on its last..legs. and injected
some northwestern b%lood.into and as
. result be has acquired a high
standing all through the south. Mr..
Mayes has just emerged from a
pretty hot prohibition campaign In
his country, In which he supported
tue prohibition Issue. Pensacola is
. license town of the most pro-
nounced character, and it took some
nerve for Frank to take his stand
Ia that direction. While the cause
he supported lost, the press of the
state paid him the highest praise
for the splendid fight he made, ana
Ill commented on the tact that it
was 900 negro votes which carried
the election by that number for

Mayes was sued for libel by one of
the saloon Keepers, and he was
mentioned by manv papers Of the
state as the best candidate to he
found for the nomination of governor
on the democratic ticket. That's

The Aberdeen American is QUOT
Ing Governor Frantz, of Oklahoma,
to show that President Roosevelt is
in an attitude to stand for another
nomination. The American goes on
to show that during the trip down
the Mississippi river that Mr.. F1antz
was the only man on the trip who
enjoyed the. confidence Of the presi-
dent sufficiently that the executive
went unto the governor and slapped
him on the back with q cheerful

sounding the president on the u
tion, that Mr.. Roosevelt would stand
for the nomination we're It. tendered
him sincerely and unanimously by
the citizens Of this country. The

stand for the nomination. Yet there

Notwithstanding Mrs. Kaufman
was convicted of 4urder in the case
OF Agnes Polreis and that the Judge
denied the motion for a new trial,
the attorneys for Mrs. Kaufman
will take 1T to the supreme court for
the final decision. Until that time
the court will not pass sentence OH

permitted to be out on bail. The
supreme court will not convene until
ext April aud it is possible that a
decision will not be rendered for a

respond at any place where lie was

was the senator's right as a citizen
OF Sioux Falls to make the trip to
