NOT QUITE KEEN" ENOUGH

Harry Keene, whom some will remem
Der AS an employee OF this Office few
months last winter, and who now again
Is conducting his newspaper,
the Arlington Sun, recently took
exceptions to an editorial item in
the Sioux Falls Argus l. sader
relative to the increase in state taxes
by the last legislator TIE folioNio g
is the Argus-Le ader's reply aud their
position Is fully sustained By the Official
record:
We trust that our dear brother
If the Arlington Sun will BOT lose
his temper and get cross, but the
Argus-Leader meant exactly what IL
SAID, AZ IL usually does. For every
dollar OF increased taxes put upon the
rail roads in thus county for stale pur-
poses, the farmers were called upon TO
pay THIRTEEN dollars la other words
The farmers were INCRFASEDin taxes
for state purposes thirteen times rs
much AS The railroads. We do NOT
know how to state it any clearer. The
nervous editor OF the Sun may not
understand this but the farmers iG this
county who pay he taxes do, and If
they do not take it out of Mr.. Craw-
ford s hide when June comes, it will be
because they are more forgivng than
most men. As a plain matter of fact
the farmers of the state we're paved 10
FRAGILE in state taxes. and they are
fast beginning to find it out. We

in Beadle county, all OF whom voted
for Mr.. Crawford be ore and all OF
whom are against him now, because OF
his broken promises, his proiieal waste
nf the public money and his robb Try Of
the taxpaying farmer Is this clear
enough to suit the Sun?'

The resolutions adopted by the TAFT
Ktttredge clubs at the big blowout in
this city last week are pracica ly the
same in principle as those that We're
adopted by the Taft Crawford clubs at
Huron. All are declaring for republic
cans, all are declaring for republican
principles as enumerated by President
Roosevelt and favor him or the man
who best represents him for president.
That man is unqestiouably Mr.. Taft
This being true, the disruption Ia the
republican, party is nothing more nor
less than choice of men to fill public
positions I.et this be under stood and
and let the choice of the people at the
coming primaries end the bitter strife
for the spoils of Office Neither fac
ton is rlade up of saints.
Neither are the ''other fellows" all
thieves and rascals. Mistakes have
been made on both sides, Let Us be
men enough to admit them and profit
by them In Inc fubufe we ueclafS
we are fighting for principle, yet we
place men above principle when the
public in general knows that the only
material ference is choi of men
1t may be tn 1t you do not consider
some of the other fellows sincere but
that does not alter the fact that the
great split in the republican party is
over the selection OF men to ii places
the rear those who have betrayed their
trusts whether sttlwart or insurgent,
but why condemn the whole for the
OF the Mitchell Clarion,

THE BEAUTIES OF THE READY PRINT

The patent sides of all the papers
printed by the Sioux City Tri buue, in
Guiding this paper, had a half page al
last week in defense Of theStandard Oil
Co. John c. Kslley's scruples and CON
science don't cause him brain fag when
the is in sight. John hollers for the
people but caters to the corporations.
There wasn't single paper that he
took advantage OF that would have ac-
cepted the ad at any price.-Hawarden
Chronicle.
Right you are, Bro. Quigley. The
only way to make sure of thing OF
that kind is to give the ready print
trust the go-by, like the COURIER
and make your paper all home priat.
Then you can control your own space
and prevent the trusts from running in
on you, politics, advertising and any
old thing that you don't want We
too have tried the Kelley readyprint
a.d know that Bro. Quigley speaks
from bitter experience.

Vertical Travel In Manhattan.

An official In the New York building
department has figured out that the
vertical traction travel in Manhattan
is now larger than the horizontal rail-
way traffic In other words. the $500
elevators in this borough carry more
passengers than do all the surface,
elevated and subway roads combined
The number Of people using the ele-
vators in some of the big office build
ings is almost incredible. In the Park
Row building, according to actual
count, as many persons were taken up
and down in one day as would be car
ried on an average by the entire street
car system of Nashville, Tenn. The
longest vertical trip will be furnished
by one Of the elevators in the Metro
politan buildings new tower, where
there will be straight lift of one-ninth
of a mile.-New York Sun.

VISITING the Sons Sins.

The Tifiski Listok (Tifiis Leaf1et)
publishes a very remarkable order pub
lished by the commandant of the place
in connection with the military school.
The terms are as follows: in case Of
any act of disobedience on the part Of
pupil toward one of his masters,
whatever may have been the conduct
of the latter, the governor will expel
from the limitations of the place not
only the pupil. but also. his parents
for parents possessing son who dares
to disobey his masters constitutes a
pernicious element. Cor. Russo.

Hungry Berlin Youngsters.

There are no FEWER than 14,UUO young
Berliners who get no other food at
home than bread and coffee. This is
lamentable. We have our own mis-
cries ever present in the great Eng
fish towns, and we can sympathize
with Berlin But it all points to some
thing radically wrong in the social or
ganization of the great centers of pop
ulation when all the world over these
and similar narrowing details continue
to come to light.-London Practical

day and paid this Office a very pleasant
