REpRERENTATIvE PARMELY spoke last
Friday in favor of a resolution to in
vestigate our congressional delega-
ton, and in favor of postponing the
election of U. S. senator until after
a report of the investigating commit

congressional delegation is in Wash

either wanted junketing trip, or he
intended the Investigation to be ON

OK January 10th occurred seven
railroad wrecks in which 40 passen-
gers were killed and many more in.
jured. The wrecks occurred in the
states of Minnesota. Illinois, Indiana,
Mississippi, and Texas. One wreck
was caused by washout, another by
explosion of the locomotive boiler,
one by spreading rails, two by open
switches, one by failure to see signals,
and one by head-on collision. Wrecks
by washouts and spreading rails are
usually due to an insufficient force of
track men. Open switches are the re-
suit of incompetency of the worst
kind. Failure to see signals and ex-
plosion of boilers may not be the re-
suit of incompeteucy and then again

The Anti Saloon League wants to
have law enacted which will allow a
whole county to say whether com
munity can license the sale of liquor
and at the same time allow the com
munity to say it shall not license the
sale, even if the county as whole
shall favor licence. The injustice Of
such scheme is SO apparent that it
would seem that it would not be ser
iously considered by any member of
a law making body. If the Anti-Sa-
loon League wants to destroy what
has already been accomplished along
temperance lines, it has taken the
right way to go about it.

be lost sight of in a hotly contested
senatorial fight, but not often. The
people have in their own hands the
means of punishment and one or two
political funerals, wherein the erring
legislator occupied the conspicuous
place, would add much weight to tha
obligation assumed other than from
moral standpoint 1t would mean po-
litical life and self preservation.
From our view point it does not ap-
pear so much of problem that the
people of South Dakota need hesitate
to tackle it.--Huron Journal World

Our Legislature will do well to keep
close to platform pleddes along rail
road legislation. Some regulation
along that line is needed, but the rad
ical demands of a certain element
that want to do something, but don't
know what should be turned down
hard There is nothing that runs re-
form to seed so quickly as to enact
radical and unjust Legislation in the
name of reform.

Ralph was appointed to perform
During a considerable part of the
time Ralph was on the pay roll con-
gress was not in session. Every sim
liar employee draws his salary by the

more reason for Bringing charges
against Gamble because of his son
Ralph than because the hundreds of
other employees serving in the same
capacity.

WHAT with earthquakes, snow
blockcades, floods, railroad wrecks
and what not in other parts of the
country, weare mighty thankful that
we live in South Dakota where the
worst that happens is that the farmers
cannot find time between September
first and December first to thresh
their immense crops, and occasional
ly a passenger train is three hours
late from Chicago. We don't mind
little 20 below weather when we
think of all that is handed out to the
people of some localities.

The Ohio river is on the rampage
and has almost reached the flood
stage of 1884, the worst known. At
Cincinnati the Union depot used by
some half dozen roads had to be aban-

depot were under two feet and half
of water. Along the Ohio valley an
immense amount of damage has been
done and some lives lost

undoubtedly contain a clause whereby
