We do not know how true the re-
port may prove to be that EX-Congress-
man Martin has expressed himself as
having lost faith in the machine Gle.
ment OF the Republican party. but We
do know his makeup is such that
many of his friends wonder that his
conscience has not long since eXper-
fenced volcanic eruption. II will be
remembered that when challenged 20
debate state issues here in BTookings
last year he refused 10 10 do so and
his evasion OF the topics which had
caused the division in the party in this
state at that time indicated that he
thought he was standing upon unsafe
ground and didn't want 70 remain TOO
long in one place for fear OF sinking in
the Quagmire which he would certainly
have done had he attempted I uphold
the machine bunch. His audience here
in Brookings was impressed with the
idea that his heart was not in sym
PATTY with his words at the time he
spoke here and many then thought that
he would rather be defending the
rights of the people than Z be placed
where he was.

friends will claim ne is not a corpor.
alton man and that he stands for a
square deal, but the mar or the paper
who would make such a claim needs
more brass than is at present visible
in this state. Senator Kittredge's re-
cord is an open book. The Milwau-
kee-Northwestern combination made
Herried governor. and the same infu-
ence appointed Mr.. Kittredge to the
senate when he was attorney for the
Milwaukee and most of US can re.
member Senator Kittredge's record
on the rate bill and sea level canal
program, and il is not hard to find
his record on other matters, and all
his public efforts have been in the
interest OF the corporations who
made him a senator. and in the face
of this record the News wants Kit.
tredge returned 10 the senate in the
interest of harmony. In other words,
the News wants the people of this
state to send a man to the senate
who has never represented their in
t%erests, and as a matter of necessity
the machine is willing that Gov. Craw-
ford should serve another term.
The corwardice of such a truce is
amazing, and contemplates with start
ling boldness the sordid and craven
condition OF a people who are thus
invited to sell their manhood for the
price of an Office.
Governor Crawford and Senator
Kittredge are citizens of this state.

man who will help to curb the corpor-
atoms and sustain the President in

OF this state; Senator Kittredge seems
to fll every requirement demanded
by the special interests, and between

plan and regardless of the fact that
stocks have shrunk $4,000, O0O, 900,
Henry Clews the well known financial
authority says that no blame rests
against President Roosevelt, he was
forced to take the position he has by
natural causes. While the penalty
now being paid may be bitter for the
excuses that have taken place, the
situation will be a sounder one in the
end and all interests will he establish

confronted with conditions, not theor

We doubt If the removal of the
tariff from lumber at the present time
would help matters so far as il re
lates to Canadian products, A promi
nent citizen of Canada recently stated
to the writer that as Don as the
United States removed the tariff his
country would be compelled to restrict
the cutting down of their forests and
this would doubtless maintain the pre-
sent prices. The protection of our
W forests should have commenced
years ago Doubtless in after years
we will realize that other matters
equally important were neglected until
too late to mend.

choice at the primary, and of the re-
suit no sane man can doubt for a
moment, although the News would
have us believe hat the people are
the senate as a friend.
Nearly every man in the state, re-
publican and democrat alike. are
ready and anxious TO back the Presi-
dent in his fight against the Standard
Oil pirates, and the United States
Senate may be called upon TO help
the President collect that twenty-nine
million fine, yet non OF US are willing
to believe that any senator who owes
allegiance to the Standard Oil crowd
would lift a finger to aid the President.
The Standard Oil gang own the Mil
waukee railroad and the Milwaukee
railroad is in shape TO compel ODE
dience from any of its attorneys or
debtors, and thus We can easily de-
termine why the News and other ma
chine papers want Kittredge returned
to the Senate and Crawford retained
at Pierre.
Party harmony is a beautiful con
dition when viewed from a corpor-
alton standpoint, but wouldn't 1t Just
kill you to see Kit hugging Crawford,
and Thorson, and ShOber, and Gam
BILE, and Elliott, and Branson, and
Wagner, and Cassill, and Wipf, and
Ustrud, and Cook, and Wesley, and
Ringsrud, and Byrne, and Glass, over
the contamination of such a sweet
scented harmony, but the News will
never shed tears of joy over such a
scene.
If the Republicans of South Dakota
want TO send a man TO the senate

dishonorable deal that would rob the
people of true representation or the
President of prompt and manly su

cowardly proposition. The "a res

sive republicans stand for principle
and the rights of the people who de
mand equal rights and equal oppor-
tunity before the law, and to surren-
der all this and proclaim truth a lie
would be a burning disgrace to every
republican who believes that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is right.
The Leader loves peace and har-
mony that will bring good results 10
the people and the country, but IT has
no use for and will never be a party TO
so called harmony that would rob the
producers of a true representative in
the senate.
If the machine-cOrporatiOn Stand
ard Oil crowd thought they had a liv-
ing show to ~re-elect Kittredge We
would never hear of harmony or
Crawford for governor.
The machine is whipped, and the
next campaign will see the last eX-
piring gasp of a combination that has
ruled this state with an iron hand of
corruption, a gang that protected the
corporations and made the honest
Woodworking people of the state pay
thousands of dollars in taxes that the
corporations should have paid, and
the proof of this has been demonstra-
ted by Gov. Crawford and the state
board when they raised the railroad
valuation over six million dollars last
week, and yet, in the face of this, the
News and other corporation papers
want to send a man back to the
senate who has been the machine
head and largely responsible for the
protection granted the railroads at
the expense of every poor devil who
who owned a team or rented a farm.
The corporation crowd must b.
desperate even to propose a harmony
that provides two years more for Gov.
Crawford, but we presume the Stan.
dard Oil Milwaukee gang would be
willing to- .,ive us Crawford for life, If
they cCuid get Kittredge back in the
senate for six years more.
There will be no harmony on the
basis proposed and Gov. Crawford
will go to the senate just the same

DEFENDING THE COAST.

In view of the splendid success of
the recent joint exercises of the Army
and the New York National Guard in
coast defense work in the neighbor-
hood of the city of New York, the ex-
ercises of similar character which are
to take place next month in connection
with the defenses of Puget Sound have
become a matter of eager interest to
the people of the entire Pacific coast.
The possibility of something more
than a friendly competition for the
mastery of the Pacific makes it vitality
necessary that the defenses of Puget
Sound and of the Pacific Northwest in
general shall be demonstrably effective,
and it is to ascertain whether that
condition now exists that the forth
coming joint exercises have been plan
ned. When completed in accordance
with the plans devised by the Endicott
Board and revised by the Taft Board
the coast defenses in the Puget Sound
region will be all that can be desired
so far as construction and armament
are concerned. But something addi-
tional is required, and that is a system
of training and instruction by which
the National Guard of the states in
that region will be enabled to provide
an efficient support for the Regular
forces in the event of war. The pro-
iected exercises will serve to institute
such system of training, and we trust
they may prove as successful and as
satisfactory to all interests as those re-
Gently conducted in connection with
the defenses of New York. And they
certainly will prove so if the forces en-
gagged are animated by the ZEAL intel
ligence, good will and keen fraternaI
spirit which characterized the troops,
Regulars and Guardsmen alike, who
took part in the June exercises in the
neighborhood of the metropolis.-Army

RAINIER
AGBNF A
DEFAULTER?
SEATTLE BREWEkY's FORMER
LOCAL AGENT REPORTED in
SERIOUS TROUBLE

The Advertiser this morning printed
the following:
"Rumors concerning the deiaulting
IN Reno, of a business man formerly
of Honolulu we're dying through the
city yesterday. No one seemed to
know anything certain about the mat
ter, but stated that they had heard
the rumors from third party. Sui
eide was even hated at, but there
seemed to be no foundation whatever
for this"
The rumors had reference to for
mer agent of the Seattle brewery, who
is very well known here. 1t is said
that there was no arrest in connection
with the alleged defalcation, and that
gambling nau led to it.
"The Rainier people do not prose-
cute employees who embezzles," said
one friend of the alleged defaulter
this morning, but they punish him
just the same. l have been told that
the company keeps a department which
watches such men wherever they go,
and whenever any one of them applies
for or gets another position, his rec
ord is made known by the Seattle
people to those who employ him, or
think of doing So"

BUY MAYA. STATION
FROM MEXICO
UNITED STATES NEGOTIATING
FOR PURCHASE OF MAGDALENA
BAY, LOWER CALIFORNIA.

WASHINGTON July 6.-Overtures
have been made to Mexico for the pur-
chase Of Magdalena bay, Lower Cali
fornia, to be used as a naval rendez-
vous and drill ground. If Mexico is
unwilling to cede a strip, including
Magdalena Bay, the United States IS
willing to purchase the entire PENN
sula. The negotiations under way
were undertaken some time ago it is
understood, and are part of the plans
adopted by the navy general board for
the increase of the naval strength on
the Pacific coast 1t is expected that
Secretary Root during his visit to
Mexico next September will endeavor
to consummate the matter A treaty
would be necessary to effect the trans
fer of the territory.
The acquisition of Magdalena bay
was strongly recommended to the navy
department by Rear Admiral Caspar r.
Goodrich when he was in command OF
the Pacific squadron. His report was
considered by the general board and
approved. The secretary of the navy
approved the general boards report,
and the president in turn approved of
the plan.
The state department then proceeded
to sound the Mexican government
through Ambassador Creel as to the
possibility of acquiring the territory.
"The most magnificent naval practice
ground in the world" was the enthusi-
astic description of Magdalena bay to-
day by navy officer.
"The bay has been thoroughly sur
veyed by the United States coast sur
vey. The entrance is a mile and half
wide, with plenty of water on the bar
at low tide The bay is 10 miles wide
and Is miles long, with a depth of 20
fathoms in places. Opening into Mag
dalena bay is Almejas bay, another
land locked harbor, which is desired
| by the navy department. If the navy
department can acquire Magdalena bay
it is proposed that it shall be made
another Guatanamo, serving as q
naval base and outpost of the western
end of the Panama canal"

THERESA LUStS
HER LASU CASE
JUDGE LINDSAY GIVES DECISIONS
IN CUMMINGS LAND SUR
AGAINST HER CLAIMS.

Judge Lindsay today handed down
four DEGREES In the suit for partition
brought by Lyle a. Dickey against w.
II. Cummings. ct al The land in ques-
ton Is located IN Kalihl The princess
appeared I'm court in her own behalf
some time ago. At that time a ques-
ton was raised about the validity OF
the deed under which Theresa claim
ed to hold an interest in the property
The court today holds that according
to the evidence that deed was never
executed by W. II. Cummings so The
resa not only is chucked out of the
case, but is assessed SS75 costs.
In the decree where Sam Kanahele
is one of the defendants, the court
holds that the defendant obtained from
W. II. Cummings in 1900 the right to
purchase Lots and in Block A of
the tract, for the sum of $780, He has
paid only S21O so there remains a bal
ance, with interest of S1,02693. The
court holds that if Kanahele pays with
in 30 days the remainder of the bal
ance he is to have title to both lots,
or, if figuring the value of each lot at
$500, he pays up the balance for a sim
gle lot, he can get title to one lot.
Otherwise failing 50 to do, possession
of the property goes to Dicl1ey and the
other Cummins defendants who have
obtained interest to the land in ques-
ton through W. H. Cummings.
In the second decree the court holds
that Levi Naai Nakea, another defend
ant, obtained the right to purchase
Lots and of Block Is for 1868. &c and
later Lot in Block B for $3.50. He
has paid $945. Nakea is given 30 days
in which to pay the balance or the pro-
portion thereof under conditions SINH
lar to those allowed Kanahele.
Mary Lowell, another defendant in
the case, obtained the right to pur-
chase Lot IL, Block B. for 5000. She
paid $780, There is now due $679.75.
She is also given 80 days in which to
pay up and secure her title or else
her land too reverts to Dickey and the
Cummins heirs. Most of these con-
tracts of purchase were made in 1900
aud one year earlier, so the inter
est has amounted to large sums.
