WHERE is THE JOKE?

Under the heading "The Joke of
Reform" the Groton Independent,
stalwart, in attempting to answer a
statement in the Journal World of
two weeks ago that the "old Elrod-
Kittredge m ,chine bequeathed to the
present state administration an in
debtedness of over S300,000," declares
that the deficit was but S19S, ,709 AZ,
stating that "a more despicable, un-
warranted, dishonest charge was new
er made against the republican party
of South Dakota by democrat, popu-
list or socialist" than the statement
made in the Journal World.
Two weeks ago this paper did not
attempt to give exact figures, saying
that the deficit was "over' certain
amount, Editor Reeves comes back
with figures even down to the cents
but his figures are entirely erroneous,
being S278,Sll short of the true
amount. According to official figures
received from Pierre, the exact total
of the deficit bequeathed by the Elrod
regime to the present administration
SAT- $50. 1927 800 of this was in un-
paid general warrants, and S250000
in unpaid emergency warrants.
Was the statement that the deficit
was in excess of 100000 "monu
mental falsehood" as the former state
auditor would have his readers think?
Was the original charge Out little
over half the true amount "despicable,
unwarranted, dishonest" as the Gro
ton paper says? Can this machine
spokesman from the north part Of
the state make 'joke" out OF these
figures?
''One might as well try to teach a
rattlesnake the ten commandments
as try to get decent argument and
acts from the alleged reform press"
declares the Independent. Well,

ROOSEVELT SENTIMENT.

"The president" declares IA Wash
ington correspondent, alluding to the
so-called third term" movement, "will
not speak again. He believes that
his election night statement is
enough"
If the president does not speak
again he will surely be renominated.
Indications of this grow stronger every
day. Gov. Hoch, of Kansas, called
at the white house recently, and on
coming away is reported to have said:
''We are all for the president for a
third time. Furthermore, we will run
over the national convention like a
bunch of Texas steers. All we want
him to do is to say nothing, and we
will take care of the other part. If
he doesn't speak quick we will make
him take it anyway.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
also said, after seeing the president:
"We are unquestionally for Roose-
velt for another term, and in my firm
opinion he will have to decline the
nomination after it is made, as the
convention will not listen toany state
ment from him before" !"
The Roosevelt movement is spread
ing over the country like an epidemic.
Other claims are ignored, other candi-
dates are forgotten, in the wild clam
or for another term of energetic re-
form. Every day that the president
continues to keep silence increases the
probability of a stampede of the peo-
pie in his direction. If the president
wishes to prevent his nomination it
would be advisable for him to speak
quickly. And as suggested by SEN
ator McCumber, even that may not be
sufficient to stay the tide OF popular
enthusiasm. There has not been, in
America. such a unanimity OF senti-
ment in favor a prospective president

earn any such amount of interest as
the Press names. But that makes
no difference. The point i, that the
faction with which the Press is allied
was in power for some fifteen years
and never thought of turning interest
into the state treasury. Now that the
faction is out, the Press is hot for the
reform" Put the faction back in
office and the promised reform would
be overlooked for another fifteen
wears.

The report of the state treasurer for
September shows that there was on
hand at the end of the month 1888,
1850. This amount at per cent.
would earn the state $l5, $50 in inter
est per year, and would help out on
a salary fund.-. But there was no in
terest turned into the state treasury.
Had the stalwart candidate for state
treasurer been nominated and elected,
the state would now be getting this
interest. The next Legislature, which
will be a stalwart republican body,
will pass law regulating this matter,
and the state will then get the inter
est, as it should. Here is a reform
that the Press stands for. Brookings

IT is reported that the druggists
of the state, OF a large part of them
at least, will refuse to obey the law
requiring a statement of contents on
the outside of patent medicine pack
ages and prohibiting the sale of such
medicines when the law has not been
compiled with. We can see no rea
son why any number of druggists
should declare that the law is not
good and deliberately violate its pro-
visions. There is always someone
who is opposed to law, no matter
what it is. One man has as much
right to set up saloon in a prohibi-
ton town as another has to sell pat
ent medicines in violation of the stat
utes. There is a whole lot of law
that does not work justice in all cases,
and whole lot of Interpretation of
law that makes it even worse. But
it will never do to let each individual
pick out the laws he wants enforced.
If this was done, all law would be for
regulation of the other fellow only.

LADIES DAY a SUCCESS
Hundreds Spent Yesterday Afternoon
Enjoying Delights of Skating.

The first ladies day at The Windsor
Skating Rink was an unqualified sue.
cess. From every direction the ladies
poured in. The Indictment weather
could not retard them. old and young
married and single, took advantage of
the opportunity to enjoy themselves
unhampered by the presence of men.
Long before four o'clock the great
rink was filled with the skaters and
their friends. Many novices were on
hand, none of whom had ever before
had skates on rheir feet This was the
opportunity they had desired in which
to learn the art of gliding along on
rollers, and many were glad to avail
themselves of it.
1T was perfectly delightful was
the general comment of those who
spent the afternoon between earth and
heaven.
The popularity of roller skating
seems to increase rather than wane,
and it is safe to assert that if next
Wednesday afternoon is bright sun
shiny day the rink will be taxed TO its
capacity.
