ruthlessly broken in pieces and names
that we once honored are now in deep
est disgrace. And there is more Of
this yet to come.
Ii we are to be happy on the farm,
we must be contened. Not that sort
of contentment that makes us salts
fed with the present and unwilling
to try to achieve any larger results
or better our conditions; but that
nobler discomfort which believes that
if the present is good, it can be
bettered; that no man is so happy
but that he can be happier still. This
is noble discomfort that tends to the
elevation of the race and therefore
tends to develop a higher degree of
happiness that he may rightfully seek
in this world There are always bet
ter conditions possible, provided we
sanely and honestly and earnestly
seek to improve the present and live
higher and nober life in the future.
Therefore, in the hope that in every
farm home which Wallaces' Farmer
visits life will be more beautiful and
happier and better in the year to come
than In the year that is past and with
the promise that we will do our best
to make western farm life better
worth living we wish our readers one
and all a Happy New Year. Wallaces

To Fight a Trust.

The governor of Minnesota has
been officially requested to investi-
gate the charge that the farm ma
chinery combine refuses to sell extra
parts of machinery to farmers who
buy their binding twine at the peni-
tentiary factory.
If it is proved that the machinery
dealers are guilty, asalleged, the pris-
on authorities will ask the legislature
for authority to manufacture farm
implements. They will also ask for
the modification of the law prohibit
ing the sale of prison made twine un-
til after the 1st of July. The warden
of the penitentiary says: ''If we
must have war with the trust, give
us an open field"
From this and previous official re-
marks made by the penitentiary man
agement, it is evident that the trust
has not yet given up its fight against
the state binding twine industry.
AS South Dakota is preparing to en-
ter upon the same line of industry, it
I
may be able, through the right sort
of legislation, to avoid some Of the
troubles that the Minnesota peniten-
tiary factory has encountered
The trust used all it's influence to
dissuade the people Of South Dakota
from ordering twine plant at the
penitentiary, its workers are still en-
deavoring to obstruct the consumma-
tion of the project and after it is put
into operation the combine may be
expected to employ the same tactics
it is using in Minnesota.
That the stake is worth fighting
for is proven by the figures given by
the Minnesota warden in his just
completed report to the governor.
He says the twine plant has made the
penitentiary net profit during the
cnrrent year of $409, 451S7 and has
saved its farmer customers 1874, ,973.-

Elk Point Courier: 1t is devoutly,
to be hoped that Mr.. Crawford's dis
tinct disavowal of any intent or de-
sire to become candidate for senator
as against Senator Gam BILE will for
ever set at rest the persistent at
tempts that have been made to bring
him out as such. We have been in
clined to assign these efforts to demo-
cratic mischief makers, inasmuch as
our friends the enemy have during
the past year admittedly taken such
great interest and part in republican
politics in this state, but recent de-
velopmentS seem to refer these en-
deavors to republican sources. Con-
certed effort to create dissenSion in
republican ranks by professed repub-
licans cannot be too severely con
demned. The republicans of South
Dakota in convention assembled have
spoken unequivocally and emphatical-
ly in favor of Senator Gamble and
whether we like itor not this should
end the matter with every true re-
publican. The bushwacker belongs
outside the camp or in the enemies
ranks.

they can be proven by documentary

List of Condemned Foods.


The annual report OF the food and
dairy commissioner, e. w. Small,
has just been issued. The report
gives some interesting information
in correction with the analysis of
food samples, as required by the state
pure food law passed at the last legis-
lature.
The total number of analysis made
by the state chemist was Bis and
that official calls especial attention
to the analysis of coloring matter.
He says: cit is almost impossible to
realize to what extent artificial color
ing matter has been employed In our
foods. Butter, cheese, fruit products,
vinegar, catsups, candies, ice cream,
iellies, jams, pops, lemonade extracts,
meats and meat products are all sub
ject to the use OF artificial dyes, and
still the list is not complete. This
color craze is one Of the most sense
less fads Of the present century.
Following is the result of the state
chemists analyses:
Canned vegetables and fruits
Twenty-nine samples analyzed; six
teen were legal and thirteen illegal.
Jams and preserves Six samples;
four condemned.
Dried fruits-Five samples; four
found with too much sulphur dioxide.
Will be excluded after this season.
Meat products Fifteen samples an
alyzed; six illegal, four of which were
Goldfish, literally embalmed In borax.
Two samples OF sausage were con-
demned for the same reason.
Candy -Forty-five samples anaiyzed,
and eighteen were condemned for
carrying coal tar dyes. Candies now
manufactured in South Dakota are
practically free from injurious ingred-
tents.
Coloring matter This is prohibited
entirely from some articles OF food,
and coal tar colors are illegal In all
goods. Forty-four samples were an
alyzed and thirteen were found IL
legal.
Extracts Thirty-five samples anal
yzed; twenty-five found illegal. More
ingenuity is exercised In making IL
legal extracts than in-any one other
product.
Catsup-Seventeen samples; Ave IL
legal.
Spices, peppers, etc. Thirteen sam
pies; all legal.
Vinegar-Ten samples; two illegal.
Sugars, syrups, etc.-Fonr samples.
Of maple sugar were found illegal, be-.
ing adultered with cane syrup Six
teen samples Of maple syrup furnish
ed seven adulterated specimens.
Three samples Of sugar and found IL
legal, being colored with coal tar dye.
One sample Of beet sugar and two OF
strained honey we're found legal.
Butter, cheese, etc. Eleven SAM
pies examined. Four Of cheese were
condemned for being low In fat.
Soft drinks Twenty-one samples;
eight condemned, OF which three were
wild cherry phosphatcs, some artifici-
al elders and one pop. Coal tar dyes
and benzoic acid caused their down
fall.
Cider and malt preparations Seven
samples analyzed and all legal.
Wines liquors, etc. Fourteen sam-
pies; seven unsatisfactory on account
of low alcoholic contents and mis-
branding. No poisonous drugs found
in any Of the samples.
Miscellaneous Two samples
maraschino berries colored with coal
tar dye, one each Of baking powder,
olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, bull
-four, freezum, fciline, and two Of
preseryatives were condemned. Some
peroxides were not approved.

Democrats Helping Kittredge

The Argus-Leader is growing fran
tic in it's efforts to compass the de-
feat of Senator Gamble, and has got
prominent democrats to assist in its
campaign of falsehood. 1t is passing
strange that these democrats should
be made tools of by the Kit machine,
still it is not to be wondered at when
one considers the necessity and des-
peration of the schemers.
Senator Gamble can get along very
nicely without their assistance or
their falsehoods: The Sioux Falls
Press speaking of this matter says:
Wednesday was one OF the import
ant days within the editorial rooms OF
the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, for on
that day the editor enjoyed the pro-
longed presence and assistance of the
chairman of the democratic committee
Of South Dakota and another demo-
cratic worker of local fame.
The chairman of the democratic
committee and the other democrat aid
ed the editor of Mr.. Kittredge's organ
in the preparation Of an editorial on
slaught on the republican party Of the
state and other material constructed
as basis for the editorial expressions
of the day.
The Press is able to make this posi-
tive statement, having been informed
by gentleman who witnessed the
work of collaboration performed by
the editor and the two democrats.
At no time since the republican con-
vention of June has the shadow Of the
chairman Of the republican committee
of the state fallen across the thresh-
hold of the Argus-Leader editorial
den.
At no time has the chairman OF the
republican committee felt at liberty to
consult with the manipulators OF ssthe
organ" upon party interests or the exi.
gencies of the campaign that closed in
November.
The chairman, the Argus Leader
and the senator have hardly been on
speaking terms.
cratic committee it is different. He is
a welcome visitor and he helps prepare
the stuff that is being used as ammu-
milton against the republican organi-
zation of the state.
The Argus-Leader is the newspaper
that frequently mentions The Press
as ''a democratic daily"
This is the point to keep in mind in
connection with the community of in
terest substituting between the Argus
Leader and the chairman OF the dem
ocratic committee and the lack of COM
munity interest between the Argus
Leader and the chairman Of the re-
publican committee.
The Press gives voice to no criticism
against the chairman Of the democrat
ic committee or against the Argus
Leader for doing business in their own
way.
But it does raise the point of order
against newspaper that pretends to
be something that it is not and
through that pretense practices decep.
tion upon those with whom it assumes
to be in alliance.
1t is playing desperate game In its
effort to place Mr.. Crawford in the
senate next spring SO as to get him
out of the way of Mr.. Kittredge two
years hence.

SPECIFIC IMPORTATION GIVEN

-
Specific information has been given
concerning the Chicago organizations
and the Southern and combine be-
tween these two by Chicago lumber
dealer. He represents that the lum-
Der dealers of Chicago. have been in
mbination for several years to re-
strain trade; that they have an assoc
iation of which Mr.. Kehn is secre-
tary, at salary that was an induce
ment to retire from an established
commission business that each member
was required to deposit certain sum
of money as pledge. Each member
was restricted in the amount of his
sales and all over this amount was re-
turned to the secretary for distribu-
tion All lumber dealers who would
not join this association was black
listed, and could not purchase stock
from any member of this association.
The mem bers Of this association were
notified of any prospective customer
of all nonmembers. then certain
members were assigned to underbid
this nonmember and these members
were REIN bursed by the association.
In December 1904, a committee
from this association was sent to
New Orleans to meet the southern
lumber manufacturers to frame a
combine to prevent the southern
manufacturers from selling lumber in
Chicago except through certain lum-
ber dealers. This arrangement was
completed at the merchants club

iocIldUOl hlgCIcuSC 10 pooiliS do oiiS
peoples Moses and is trying to con-
vince we poor mortals that he is the
first and only Richard to draw his
Damascus blade against the lumber
trust.
We believe Kittredge is absolutely
ignorant of what the government has
been doing for the past two years
along trust lines. Special agents of
the government have been camping
on the trail of the lumber kings for
nearly three years and have secured
evidence enough to convict the black
listing, blackmailing gang who dictate
the policy of the secret alliance that
binds lumber men under heavy penal
ties.
In the face of this government re-
cord Mr.. Kittredge introduces reso-
luton in the senate to probe the lum-
ber trust, and his harpies throughout
the state are swinging their hats in
glee to think their boss has actually
said something for the people.
OF course Kit is playing big for a
front seat on the band wagon two
years hence but the janus face is al
most visible to blind man.
The machine and its corporate al
lies said the 'people be damned, y
and so they rode roughshod over de-
cency and justice and considered the
people unworthy of notice until after
the June convention in 1906.
Kit has been figuring how to fool
the people ever since and finally some
one told him to hit the lumber trust
a lick, and he did. But now comes
brief government report showing that
special agents have been at work for
the past two years under President
Roosevelt's orders, securing evidence
to convict and punish the blackmail-
ing, blacklisting gang who have been
robbing the people for the past five
years.
Kittredge is not to blame for not
knowing what was going on against
this robber combination, because he
was recognized as a trust defender
and the government wouldn't trust
him, hence his desire to blow bubbles
for our people has exposed a condi-
uion of senatorial ignorance and stup-
idity and duplicity that will disgrace
the state not longer than March 1909.
The following special from Wash
ington to the ST.. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, Dec. 20, tells little about what
the government has been doing:
.sMr. Miller today turned over to the
department testimony bearing on sew
eral so-called "trusts' in the lumber
business. There is no general or
holding company, it appears, such as
! other combines have, but communi-
ty of interest prevails between the
constituent companies.to agreements
regulating trade. Most of these
companies are-in the middle west, al
though some of the testimony relates
to the 'shemlock trust" of Pennsyl-
yania. The information will be util-
lied in the investigation. t affects

Association, with headquarters at st.

Dealers Association of Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma, with headquar-

Dealers Association of Chicago.
