CATION and experiment station, let
the state father the project, stretch
out our hands, receive the money
and experiment along the lines for
which the money was raised and in
tended. These are the reasons for
the name.
This is not all, about 1887 Congress
passed an act by which Brookings
gets $4,000 annually for maintaining
an experiment station. Last winter
another act passed by which all states
get $5, 900 additional for the same
purpose with an addition of $4,000
year until 1911 when it will reach
$4,000 or $4,000 a year in all to
South Dakota. Now if this bill
should pass of $4,000 could be
made available for the experiment
station.
If this bill should pass it would be
possible to place this institution on
its feet in fine shape without prac-
tically using dollar from the state
treasury for a long term of years
and perhaps never.
Now there are two elements in the
state that will combine to defeat it
at this session. All through the
artesian belt is large number of
land agents and real estate men.
The real estate men are honorable,
permanent persons doing a legiti-
mate business, while the land agents
are more or less transient. With
few pieces of land listed to sell, each
one becomes very noisy. While land
values continue upward they manage
to live, multiply and getnoisy. They
sacrifice everything and anything to
boost the price of land. They even
sacrifice truth to accomplish this end
But when land gets to the top and
stops advancing or begins to slide the
other way the land agents disappear
like grasshoppers in a frost. They
are useless class of people and
never do the state any good. But
they are numerous now ard their
influence reaches the legislature from
all over the ari esian belt.
The wants of the typical land
agent are peculiar and provoke a
smile, and yet he is a thorn in the
flesh of the genuine real estate man.
He offices in his hat and on depot
platforms. He is quick on the scent
and trail of tenderfoot. He wants
the legislature to furnish him with
a commissioner to run in the tender |
feet. When farmers meet to dis
cuss the best methods of "dry farm
ing" he wants papers like the one
at Washington to call it a farmers

OFFICIAL PAPER OF PHILLIPS COUNT
Deny Conspiracy.

i'edsrailroad Kings and their ci,ainpi.
ons deny that they have entered into a
conspiracy TO discredit President Roose-
welt before the people. 1t is possible
that their denial may be the truth but
not probable and their denial will have
TO be followed by radically different
course Of action IN their part TOWARD
President Roosevelt than the last few
months have shown, II the people give
them much credit for good faith in their
denial. Our president seems well salts
hed that he was correct when he charg-
ed them with conspiracy against him
and It was no surprise 10 him when the
plans Of the conspirators were made
public as he had known Of it for some
time. Publicity will spoil their little
game for it has strengthened President
Roosevelt with the people TO such an
extent that It Is now very doubtful II
the people will accept a refusal Of 4 re-
at their hands. Simply be-
cause President Roosevelt has had the
courage 10 take stand against the
greed Of monied corporations, they en-
Ter into conspiracy TO crush him and
retire him to private life diseredlted
with the people II possible. Their
scheme will not work. When they at
tack President Roosevelt as the chain
pion Of a square deal for all, they strike
a blow at the great mass Of the voters
that they will resent and resent In
way that will demand the recollection OF

their recent actions that they would IA

Roosevelt and the voters will demand
that the man the corporations would
most dislike to see In the presidential
chair shall be president for another
term.

Must Protest.

The most Of the newspapers Of this
senatorial district seem to take the de-
feat Of the legislative reapportionment
bill very meekly and quietly just as
though It was matter Of course that
this part Of the state was to forever re-
main tied to Denver for Legislative pur-
poses. Well, II the voters Of this part
Of the state believe il is the proper
thing for them 10 do.to quietly submit
to this outrage upon their rights at
the hands Of the Denver politicians, il
is certainly their privilege to do so but,
so far as the HERALD is concerned, Il
will not do 80 but will exercise its priv
ilege Of kicking even II the kicking does
not accomplish any visible results. We
propose TO have the satisfaction Of reg
istering our protest. We have
been protesting ever since the
obnoxious Legislative gerrymander was
perpetrated and there has always been
plenty Of company In this protesting
business. Even the Denver republicans
have been very loud in their dcnuneia-
tons Of the injustice OF the democratic
legislative gerrymandcr but il is very
noticeable that, a. soon ms the legisla-
tive ticket is elected they forget all a,
bout the wrongs the state IL suffering
from this act and quietly turn their
attention to the formulating Of plans to
perpetuate these wrongs by preventing
any change In the present apportion-
mrnt They dcnounce the democrats
Tor pcrpctrating the Legislative outrage
but absolutely refuse 10 part with the
advantages accruiRg 20 Denver under
this gerrymandrr.
