To show how the pure drug law is
going to help reputable patent medi-
cines we only need sight our readers
to the advertisements which are being
sent out by one reliable medicine firm
which reads as follows, emitting name
of manufacture:
TO overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections OF the more in
teIligens TO the use of secret, medicinal
compounds, - some time
ago, decided to make a bold departure
from the usual course pursued by the
makers Of put.up medicines for do
mestic use, and so published broadcast
and openly to the whole world, a full
and complete list Of the ingredients
entering into the composition OF his
widely celebrated medicines. Thus he
has taken the many users OF his medi-
cines into his full confidence. Thus
too he has absolutely and completely
removed his medicines from among
secret nostrums OF doubtful merits,
and made them remedies OF known
composition" This advertisement was
taken from the columns of the Sioux

Only a few months ago the Argus

world that SECRETARY Taft was it's can
ddate for president A little later that
sheet announced that Secretary Taft
was coming to Sioux Falls the guest
of Senator Kittredge. 1t was the in
tention OF those who style themselves
stalwarts to create a stampede from
President Roosevelt to Secretary Taft.
but the people didn't stampede. Dur
ing these months Just past the Repub'
leans Of South Dakota have gone on
organizing and working to have the
sentiment of the party unanimously III
favor Of the retention Of President
Roosevelt for another four years. No
one has taken any stock In the at.
tempt to substitute the name of Secre.
tary Taft for that greatly admired
leader Of this nation, President Roos-
evelt. This attempt to substitute re-
minds us of the substitution made
when the people asked for the primary
law The bosses thought the people
didn't know what they wanted and
prescribed n different remedy, but the
people had the stamina to repudiate
the outrage at the last election. This
experience has made the bosses a lit.
tie timid about thrusting upon the
people any substitutes. After trying to
create a sentiment In favor Of Taft
and failing they now come out and say
they have been for Roosevelt first all
the time. II this is true (which 1t is
not why have they tried to urge Mr..
Tafts name upon the people? Moth.
ing more than to lead the voters away
from their first and only choice. Presi
dent Roosevelt Is the man above all
others whom the corporations, trusts,
and political bosses would like to see
removed from Office. BY getting the
people either entirely away from him
or by dividing public sentiment the
"stalwarts" had hoped to elect deli

| Now that the corruptionists see that
they have failed in their attempt they

the Republican voters of South Dakota
are In favor OF President Roosevelt's
denomination and have no other choice

probability of securing another -four
years of fair dear policy for this
nation.

For years the people OF this nation
have been, I'm thousands OF instances,
taking slow poisons, narcotics and poor
whiskey when they supposed they were
using medicines to relieve some sort
of ailment. Having become alarmed
at this abuse of the privileges given
legitimate business interests, by
quacks and frauds. the most eminent
chemists of this country have banded
themselves together with the national
government, and through the pure food
departments of the different states are
waging war against these atrocities
AS a result of this determination by
the national as well as the state gov
ernments to wipe out the evil stringent
laws have been passed compelling
manufacturers of patent medicines to
prescribe to certain rulings. In this
state the last Legislature passed law
demanding that upon the label Oh
wrapper of all medicines and stock
foods should appear the common name
OF all ingredients. Not how much OF
each kind of ingredient Except mar

ingredient used in the preparation

OF HAWAII BANA,
Ma CULTURE.

w. r. Hearst, Editor Examiner:
Dear Sir-I have noticed in the col
umns of your paper a number of ar
ticles relative to a line of steamers
from San Pedro to Hawaii. / was a
resident of Hawaii for thirty years and
am intimately acquainted with it's re-
sources and through my love for that
country am prompted to say a word on
this subject. kifeel certain that a line
of steamers, not too large, fitted and
fruit and a limited number of passen-
gers would pay from the first. There
are untold acres in the vicinity of Hilo.
Hawaii, suitable for the cultivation of
the best bananas in the world and the
islands as & whole can produce all that
the Pacific could use or distribute
P1neappies can be produced to any
amount and of much better quality
than any at present marketed here.
MangoS, guavas, avocado pears and
other tropical fruit abound and can be
landed here cheaply with proper facil-
tiles. The raisers of these fruits have
become discoura ged by the loss from
decay in transit and the manipulation
of what does arrive in San Fransico by
the fruit trust. This city is the dis
tr1buting center for an immense terri
tory and I can see no reason why a
company here should not control these
valuable products of the islands and
by insuring to the raisers of fruit there
certain market and fair treatment,
make it profitable both for a steamship
line and for themselves. Outside of
Irult there are many vegetables that
can be raised there the year around
that at certain seasons find here a ready
market at high prices. Very much
could be said on this subject and it GER
tainiy will stand investigation by the
Chamber of Commerce and our mer-
chants. L. S. THOMPSON.

no doubt, will henceforth be amongst
her most valued possessions.

believed to be the cruel treatment of
the child. Miss Dawson investigated
the case and found that the child, be-
sides being i'll, was suffering from sore
eyes. A remedy was applied, prescrib-
ed by a reputable physician, which was
painful. but there had been no cruelty.
The kindly official investigation had
a neighborhood feud.
Her tact was shown in another in
stance. A case was reported where a
horse with d lame shoulder was being
driven The driver demonstrated when
stopped. and said that the animal was
simply "a little stiff from rheumatism.

GAS to the japanese, Miss Dawson
said, "their treatment of horses is more
often ignorance than wanton cruelty.
You know horses are used in Japan
and China much less than with us.
There are wheelbarrows and jinrikishas,
propelled by human beings, AID many
loads are carried on the shoulders of
coolies. Since this is true, it would
be unreasonable to expect as much of
them as of people who have been ac
customed to horses always. They can
be educated, however, and are quick to
observe and learn, as I have found.
AS for that, however, I can call TO
mind nice families who do not know
how to treat their horses. which are
neglected, over,lriven and left to care
