The refusal of the Democrats to
vote for the new license law to take
effect from passage, whereby the
State lost about 100000 in revenue
this year. was doubtless bid for the
liquor vote in two years from now. AS

'rhct one act of the Democratic party
is enough to disgust every decent and
respectable man in the party with
the party's management. The people
will remember about these things
when voting time come again.

A WARNING
WAS GIVEN TO SAM CLEMENS
AND PHIL JOHNSON BY HU-
NAME OFFICER.

The crematory yesterday received
the remains OF a welking equestrian
skeleton which had been stripped of
its flesh by lack of food and overwork.
Humane Officer Sample found the
bones of the animal in possession of
Sam Clemens, but Sam claimed It
wasn't his horse. lie said 1t belonged
to Phil Johnson. That made no diff
ference to Mr.. Sample, so he ordered
the animal taken to the crematory ana
shot. At the same time he issued a
note of warning to horse starvers that
they would be punished by confiuc-
lnent in jail according to law If it isn't
stopped. And the Humane Officer
didn't smile when he said 1t either, 50
you had better watch out!

REASONS FOR BEING THANKFUL,

When we read of the distress and
loss Of life and property brought to
many cities in this State and neigh.
boring States by disastrous floods, the
people OF Fairmont ought to be thank.
full that the city is so located that
scarcely a dollars damage is ever
wrought by water here. And yet we
have large river. We hear a good
deal said about the governments big
task Of trying to give the Ohio a
nine7foot channel depth the year
around. The Monosahela at this point
Is mich deeper that that. We have a
channel depth of from IL to 15 feet all
the time. yet the city is so located that
IL is entirely improbable that a flood
will ever harm 1t. Only those who have
experienced the disasters of flood
can realize what It means to live out
Of reach of the raging and destruc.
tive waters. Fairmont ought to be
proud that 1t is a "city built on a hill"

Mr. Mills, the Prohibition party or.

who did not hesitate to tell what

formerly Republicans. 1t is very
rare thing for a Democrat to be led

The Roosevelt Republican Lea
que" has called meeting to be
held in Huron during the state
fair to start campaign in this
state looking to the election of a
Roosevelt delegation to the nation
al convention. The call is issued
by G. II. Cassill, president, and Ell.
G. Shober, secretary. The call says:
"The enemies Of a government
by and for the people are secretly
working for the retirement of Pres
ident Roosevelt in order that his
great work shall not be completed.
therefore it becomes the duty of
every progressive republican in the
state to take up this work to TIE
end that solid Roosevelt delega-
ton shall represent South Dakota
in the next national convention.
+ "The enemies of a governmenf
by and for the people, are those
who by deceptive methods, try to
induce the people to vote against
their own interests, and for candi-
dates and issues which they do not
intend to support. That this is
the purpose of this movement is
shown by the statement in the dis
patch accompanying this call,
which says:
Despite the presidents reiterated
statements to the effect that he will
not again accept the presidency,
| South Dakota will send a delegation
to the national convention instruct
ed for him, say the leaders of the
present administration in this
state. If when the convention is
called, Mr.. Roosevelt persists in
his decision not to be candidate,
then the delegation will go to the
man he wants.
The leaders of this movement
know that Pres. Roosevelt means
what he says when he positively y re-
fuses to be a candidate. They
know that a delegation elected to
support Pres. Roosevelt, when it
reached the convention, would
have to support some other candi-
date. Their purpose is simply to
use the popularity of the President
to help them elect delegation Of
their own selection, to be used at
the convention as it may suit their
selfish purposes. The scheme is
too transparent to be effective.

retary of the Horticultural Society,
we are in receipt of the annual re-

book of 225 pages and is filled with
reports and discussions on horti-
culture, by men who have devoted
many years in studying the sub
ject. The society is organized for
the purpose of promoting the cul-
ture of shade and ornamental trees,
fruit and shrubbery of all kinds,
and in a new country where the
varieties best adapted to the soil
and climate, and the manner OF
tending them must be discovered

these reports are invaluable.

The Lesterville Ledger suggests
as the next republican con ngression-
al ticket A. B. Kittredge for the
senate, and 3. W. Martin and T.
r. Price for congressman. No
fault could be found with the per
sonnel of this ticket but it would
hardly be wise distribution. Last
year the Ledger strongly supported
Sen. Gamble for reelection, and
the senator won. Now the Ledger
can hardly with consistency ask
the state to support a congress
man from the senator's own town.
