Lottery Drawing For Federal
Offices.
ROOSeYeIfS Method of Deciding
Upon Appointments Upon which
Senator's Kittfedge and

Agree.
Agree.
Especial to The ARGUs.)

Washington, Nov. 26.-The White
House was the scene of a lottery yes
terday, in which III Federal patronage
of the State OF South Dakota was dis
posed of. The President of the United
States turned the wheel of fortune and
Senators Kittredge and Gamble drew
out the prize packages. There was a
large numbe of vacant offices in the
State due to the fact that the two Sena
tors have been unable to agree upon
applicants, thus permitting the old of
5fceholders to retain their positions long
beyond the time to which they were
appointed. The Senators met in the
Presidents Office yesterday by appoint
ment to agree, if possible, upon a dis
tribution, but when they confronted
the President they found themselves
Just as far apart as they have been in
his absence.
The President saw the difficulty and
proposed that they draw lots. The SEN
ators agreed, and the position Of bank
mediate dispute, the President tossed
up a coin, saying that heads meant
that Kittredge should win, and tails
that Senator Gamble should name the
man. The piece of MONEY fell heads up
and the nomination was thus awarded
to Mr.. Kittredge, both appearing salts
fed with this method of disposing of
the problem. The President suggest
ed that all vacancies be filed after the
same manner and accordingly the
names of the various offices were writ
ten upon slips of paper. The two SEN
ators then proceeded with the draw
ing.

Cleaning Up Columbus,

Just at this time Columbus is enjoying the
ton of having one-haf her population under indict-
ment and the remaining half under suspicion. The
three members of the public service board, hereto
fore prominent and respected, and several employees
are under Indictment bribery charges, while those
accused of paying the alleged bribes similiary
held for trial by the grand jury. Three former Re-
publican officials, of them until recently clerk of
the supreme court are among those caught by the
grand jury dragnet, charged with emb zzlement.
These latter, to use common term, were caught
with the goods upon them, investigation having
disclosed the amounts taken, and subsequent
ton, being virtual admission of guilt, will make
vlctlon comparatively easy. The bribery cases will
be bitterly fought The newspapers of the city are
insisting upon immediate trial of these cases and
they will be given precedence and unless the indct
ments are found defective, a common occurrence un-
der the present prosecutor, the accused will soon
learn their fate. Meantime the Official houseclean-
ing the city is undergoing will continue regardless
OF the grand jury's work. The state examiners are
looking over the records and the mayors's probing
committee is making exhaustive investigation in
to the business methods of the officials The up
heava is of course due politics, factional Re-
publican quarrel being generally regarded as at the
bottom of 1t. Who will be hurt in the end remains
to be seen.

Charity, the Greatest of them All.

A great divine once explained why God permit

and rebeious hearts and brought them closer to Him.
If hearts of strong melt it is when there is
suffering of little children and helpless mothers
People who in the past have spoken lightly of their

their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory"
That neighbor that you snubbed and spoke lightly
of you know him in different way, for he
risked his life, and rushed through surging waters
to rescue you and your children from DEATH and
your house hold ,ods from destruction.
Rescued as you were and then comes forward that
stranger, that travelling man that you might not
thought well of, and gives you food and clothing to
tide you until you get Strengthened out again
So it is. When we given to speaking our un
weighed judgements too soon lets weigh our words
carefully IN censure of another. He is human, he
may have his faults. Who of us have none but the
virtue of charity" the greatest of them all may fill
souls that seen faulty. God grant that the sins of
the body, though scarlet that beneath that flesh
their beats heart of love and sympathy and charity
that His sight will bear the soul, pure and white,
into His presence, and eternal life.

God in man, and this spirit present in every act of
love. There is great s'ul and big heart in the
bosoms of those who rush to and relief, that
lights the way to a better world.

Mail Order Houses.

There are but few editors in our state who have
not made vigorous and continouse fight against
the city mail order house. This has been done in
the interest of the home merchant, and without
money and without price. If the editors of the
land had received regular advertising rates for
all they have said against these enemies of the
country merchant, they could now be wearing
diamonds. Now the department store man appre-
ciates advertising space and is willing to take all
the average county editor has for sale, and at
good price What other class of. business or pro-
fessonal men would refuse business to help their
friends, especially as many of said friends never
seem in the least disposed return the compliment
or even appreciate it. We have continuously served
our home merchants against all comers and we
are deserving and receiving very good patronage.

CLUBBING TACTICS.

IT lie trusts and the big corporations that OBJ
4 ject to laws passed by State Legislatures
or the national government against them, adopt
many and varied tactics to bring the public to
terms. Their methods sometimes resemble those
Of the sandbagging highwayman, who clubs or
thinks he can club his victim into submission.
For instance il is stated that the Chicago pack
crs trust advanced the price of meat in the
hope that the people will become weary of adj
vanced prices and inaugurate a clamor for the
repeal of the pure food laws and regulations so
that the packers can go back to their old methods
of furnishing tainted products
And so the railroad companies are adopting
similar tactics Rates to passengers are to be in
creased, investors are to be scared, panics were
threatened and all sorts of schemes that agile
brains could concoct were set in motion. But
they don't seem to have had much effect The
people will not willingly submit to a clubbing
from the hands Of the beef trust or the railroad
magnatcs.
And so the beef men and the railroad men may
learn II they irritate the public by trying to
club the public the result will be that more
stringent legislation than ever will be adopted
and they will have a conflict with the people
which would cause the sentiment for government
ownership to increase. The beef packers and the
railroad men may go too far They are not
larger than the country.
