OF all the useless individuals who
burden this mundane sphere, the
knocker is most superlatively useless.
Sioux Falls is burdened with few
who could well be spared. = Argus
Leader
And the greatest knocker in the
state is the Argus Knockers 1t knock
ed Roosevelt's railroad rate regula-
ton plan, it knocked Crawford, it
knocked the platform measures adyo
Gated by the republican state conven-
ton, it is knocking the Legislature for
those platform measures, it
is knocking the state administration
it is knocking Gamble. The only
things it doesn't knock is the Argus
Leader and Kittredge.

MUST BEAR THE LOSS.

A committee from the Commercial
club at Watertown recently visited
MIR. Earling, of the Milwaukee, in re-
gard to the Milwaukee's proposed ex-
tension to Watertown. Mr.. Stokes
was the chairman of the committee
and did talking for Watertown and
upon the conclusion of his remarks he
WAS told by Mr.. Earling that he Mil
waukee would build no more road in
South Dakota; that present legislature
had made it plain to the railroads
that this state was unfriendly to them,
and said: sit will take your state FIVE
years to repair the damage done by
your reformers."
The state was on the eve of great
period of railroad development and it
seems upardonable that its develop
ment should be sacrafced on the affairs
of political ambition. Huronite.
Isn't it queer how much railroad
building was going to be done if the
roads could have bossed the state po-

abandoned because the people want
to govern themselves? If the rail
roads could have. had things their
own way every farmer would have
had a direct line of road from his
front door to any city market he might
name, and life pass for himself and
family. Oh! we would have built
thousands of railroads if Crawford
hadn't been elected. Ofcourse, these
roads that they "were going to build
might not have been paying invest
ments, but they would have been
built just the same, and all because
of the love for the dear people. But
as the Lord drove Adam and Eve out
OF the Garden of Eden when they
went astray, so will the railroads re
fuse to build because The people dis
pleased them. We know they would
have built railroads for, after the
Black Hills had been settled for forty
years and the eastern part of the
state under cultivation for thirty
years, didn't two roads insist on
bridging the gap by building 165
miles? 1t doesn't matter that this
little strip of l65 miles was only de-
termined upon after the Juggling of
railroads had taken place and it be.

The Aberdeen News is authority for
the statement that the governors last
appointment associated politically
with the democratic party until 1896.
Isn't it terrible to think that Craw-
ford would appoint a man to office
who had not been republican except
for the ten years last past? Nothing
is said against the mans fitness for
the office. How much better it would
have been if Crawford had appoint
ed some man who didn't know enough
to change his political affiliations
when changes in conditions made il
necessary.

REED SMooT, the Mormon from Utah
wins in the contest and saves his seat
in the senate for two years more, with
the probability that the Mormon
church will return him at the end of
his term rather than stand the chances
with another apostle. Smoot ought
to have been kicked out on general
principles, but there seems to be no
warrant of law for so doing. The
senate is mighty hard place to get
into, but when once in it is even hard
er to jar man loose.

In has been some time since the
Argus-Leader assured us, that 'we
are all republicans" and working for
the good of the party. In the alb
sence of such an assurance, and,
after reading its editorials daily, we
are constrained to believe it has given
up being republican and is engag-
ed in doing all it can to belittle the
the republican administration. Some
people and some papers are republi-
can only when they are able to be
the whole cheese.

The coke workers of the Frick
company have been granted a sub
stantial advance in wages. 1t is said
that no advance in the price of the
product is made. Usually an advance
in wages is accompanied or immedi-
ately followed by an advance in the
price of the manufactured product
fully covering the increased wages
and leaving an increased margin of
profit for the manufacturer. In this
case, however, it seems that the coke
