were five tables in the parlor, living
room and hall. The scores were mark
ed by little Miss Onie Chazal. When
the scores were counted. Miss Valeta
Potter had made the highest score,
and her reward was a beautiful deck
of cards. The pretty honor guest
was given a dainty handmade hand
kerchief.
The hostess, assisted by her moth
er, Mrs. " S Bullock, and her sister,
Mrs. c. V. Miller, served delicious
fruit salad, olives, tomato sandwiches
and hot coffee.
Miss Richards played several Sc
lections on the violin, which We're en-
joyed greatly ny the guests.

We Have Both Gold Standard and
Panic

They told US in 1896 that such a
thing could never happen under the
gold standard. with confidence reStOr

repUbliCanism in power, But we have
it nevertheless. The Montgomery
Journal sizes up the situation very
APPLY as follows:
The Wall street interests told US
in 1896 that if Bryan was elected
president that the country would have
a panic the like of which had never
been witnessed in this country. They
told Us that every industry would
close down, every proposed enterprise
would stop. thousands and hundreds
of thousands of the employed would
soon be unemployed. and that starva-
ton and staSnation and damnatiOn
would be our portion.
Bryan was defeated. The republi-
cans and their allies in Wall street
got in power and have been in power
ever since They have had the pres
ident; they have had both houses of
congress-; they have had everything
their own way. They have controlled
national legislation. They said all the
country needed-and they argued ii
from every stump and in the halls Of
cOngress-was confidence restored,
/ and hey told US the gold standard

DR. Dodge is popular wherever he

BY viii Of .hs People.


The anti-pass bill passed the house
by a vote OF 10 to 2, carrying the
emergency clause and an amendment
permitting the right OF contract be-
tween railroads and newspaper pub
fishers. The Leader has expressed no
opinion for or against the newspaper
amendment being satisfied. believing,
however, that the right Of contract
could not be destroyed by legislative
enactment. II the Milwaukee rail-
road desires to contract for space In
the Leader, payable in cash or an
equivalent, 1t is purely a business pro-
position and concerns none but those
interested. II the railroads paid cash
for advertising space, the editor or
owner OF the paper could as freely
pay cash for a ticket.
WI are OF the opinion that the rail-
roads will find no fault with the anti
pass statute, because 1t draws the
line to a fine point and will save
company officers endless trouble and
vexation and q good deal Of money
for the extension fund.

WHAT is A FAIR RATE ?

The opinion Is quite general that
South Dakota is hardly populous
enough TO demand a fiat 2 cent rate
on the railroads, nor do WI believe
any genuine reformerd desires anything
other than a square deal.
1t is an Unborn desire of all to ride
as cheaply as possible on railroad
trains, but the question Of justice to
the common carrier interposes and
asks that a reasonable rate be made.
We are not prepared to say what a
reasonable rate should be because 1t
Is a question that effects great inter
ests on one siders and a desire for
cheap transportation OF the other.
One thousand and two thousand
mileage books are sold for practically
2 cents a mile. II this could be made
to include 500 mile books there would
be little demand for fare regulation.
1t is a question that our law max
ers should handle carefully and with
due consideration for all interests.
No honest reformer will ask the rail
roads for a reduction Of passenger
rates INCONSISTENT with the income
from passenger business.
tt must be remembered that the
railroads are not powerless to answer
unjust demands. All are seeking bet
ter railroad accommodations but the
railroad can say, II an unreasonable
fare is fixed, that our business will
not warrant an Improvement, but on
the contrary, may announce fewer
trains to meet a loss forced upon
them through unwarranted legisla-
tion.
The Leader asks the legislature to
discuss this question in a spirit OF
fairness, dealing with 1t in a manner
that will meet the approval OF all
fair minded men.
Don't reform too much at n SEES
sion OF the legislature. Pass platform
demands and move steadily towards
continued reform as necessity de-
mands. We believe a large majority
OF the legislature will stand for a
square deal regardless Of the demands
OF men who do not consider justice as
the main element in all true reform.
We have great faith that the present
legislature will not pass any unjust
laws and faith that Governor Craw-
ford would veto any measure that
would not asu up to a square
deal" standard for passenger rates.
Reform means much for the state
but anything without Justice Tor a
foundation will not stand.
