that city, j. E. Darmer, chairman of the CITY Com
mlttee, made the following statement which deserves
to be ranked with the best definitions that have been
given OF the purposes of that party. He said

Helix, Reb. 10.-Work trains have
been seen on the w. & C. r. about
here for some days repairing the darn
age done by the melting SHOWS. There
has been no mail received at this
place for several days, and chances
seem slim for any for several days
more, judging from the way the snow
keeps melting. Cellars and wells
have been filled and the outlook is
bad for a through train or mail for
several days more.
The next meeting of the missionary
society will be held at F. II. Rich
mond's on February IA. Tea will be
served, and the members anticipate
an interesting meeting.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Hill have ar
rived from Olympia, WASH, where
they were recently married. They
will make their home on farm about
four miles west of Helix.
DR.. Lieuallen returned from Pen
dleton the early part of the week,
where he had been for a few days.
He says the ball and concert given
by the Elks was grand success.
Masquerade Last Night.
The masquerade given at the city
hall last night proved grand sue
cess. There were many good cos
TUNES, and all reported an enjoyable
evening.
Anxious for Mail.
The people of Helix are almost wild
about the mail service. They receive
no papers or mail of any kind, and
they keep the postmaster and depot
agent busy inquiring after trains and
mails.

subject in the Y. NJ. c. 4. hall last
night Prof. Henry Simpson, who has
returned from a visit to the Santee

that the former are very prosperous
and contented. There are 1900 of
them on a reservation a short distance
away from 200 Poncas. All the San
tees are farmers and some of them
are growing wealthy. The Indians
speak English and have adopted the
dress and customs of the country, but
they dislike intercourse with outsid-
ers.

 Today, in writing Democratic platform. serious changes are necessary. As to the rights of the States. they are largely neglected, while everywhere there is strong feeling in favor of pushing forward and making paramount the power of the Federal government.
 As to the standardization Of gov ernmental power, there was once wholly the fundamental doctrine Of the Republican party. Today the most prominent Democratic leaders are calling for national ownership Of railroads and national control Of all industrial and financial corpo- rations. This is rank Republican doctrine; only the Republicans. while demanding Federal control stop at Federal ownership.
 When it comes to the tariff, the Republicans, who were the apostles of high protection, are now badly divided on the subject, because, while the protection policy has enabled favored parties to amass vast private fortunes through the special privileges they enjoyed, great body of the Republicans get orbitant prices for articles of daily consumption. Thus it is that many Republicans demand a relaxation of the strenuous conditions created by the high tariffs on foreign goods.
 On the other side the Demo- crats are no less divided on the tariff issue. There was a time when there was little or no manufactur- ing in the Southern States, which were long the stronghold of Democ- racy, and the tariff imposed a tre- mendous burden on the South. while giving it no benefits Today the situation is wholly different. The South, with the greatest abun- dance of raw material produced a home, is making large and lively progress in manufacturing and is therefore feeling the benefit of tariff protection

IMPRACTICAL SOUTHERN POLL
 TICS,

That staunch old Democratic paper the Baltimore Sun, is moved to these observations If the south derives any satisfaction from playing senti- mental politics if it is willing to hitch it's wagon pereptually to me teor merely for the joy of crashing down to defeat with it's ambitious but luckless idol, then there is nothing more 10 be said. If the south is sat isfed to use it's 133 electoral votes solely for the purpose of hero wor- ship-if it prefers to continue indef- niteIy in the ranks Of the politically vanquished and thus cease to be a factor which if is entitled 5e De in national politics-the way is cleac. It is high time for the prudent anl sagaeious public men of the south to advise the southern people concern ing the conditions which seem to make Mr. BGyan's nomination in 1908 utterly inadvisable from the standpoint of practical politics.
