Accompanying Governor Crawford
On his recent trip to Rapid City, was
a quiet, yet withal business like in
dividual named Robert S. Wesley,
who halls from washington Springs,
and is at present a member of the
state senate, chairman of one of its
important committees, and progress
sive candidate for governorship.
Mr. Wesley is making good as one
OF the strongest a%ndidates put up
by the insurgents, and no wonder,
for those who know him best are
loudest in his praise. There is
nothing of the professional politician
in Senator vessey's make up; he is
simply a ma of the people, who po-
sessing an unbiased insight into the
growing affairs of the commonwealth
will serve 1T as its chief executive in
a name not spectacular perhaps,
but in a way to win the appreciation
of his constituents, which is decided
ly more important.
In selecting Mr.. Wesley, a success
full business man for gubernatorial
honors, no mistake was made, and
he Is the logical candidate for the
progressive citizens of South Da-
kota.

Expense of Marketing Crops.

Ofarmers' and Drovers' .Journal.)
The expense of hauling crops to

IN addition to railway transportation
charges. me government has re-
Gently conducted an extensive in
V~estiSation of the cos of marketing
crops with a view of promoting ag-
grlcullural economy. The expense is
SO great that much valuable land
remote from transportation facili-
ties is practically yalueless for Guilt
walton and can only be profltablv,
utilized in livestock h%usbandry, as
cattle, sheep and horses can be driv-
Ell cheaply TO remote railways where
the expense of hauling fald crops
would eliminate all profits in agri-
cultural products.
Wheat, corn, barley and flax can
not be p%rotitably produced from re-
mote transportation facilities. Corn
is the leading cereal and costs nine
per cent of the crop to haul il 70
market. 1t is an expensive croD to
produce and market ard the cost of
hauling it to the elevators is a heavy
tax on the industry. Wheat costs
around . cents per bushel TO market,
and potatoes nominally the same.
Tobacco and cotton are among tle
least expensive agricultural products
to market owing to their h.sh value
per pound. Wool averages the long
est haul owing to a large percentage
OF the crop being produced on the
ranges remote from railway trans
%portation and costs an ave.age o. 70
cents per hundred pounas to deli ,er
to market, the average haul of wool
being forty miles.
The expense of marketing farm
crops falls on the producer, whether
he hires his products hauled or takes
them personally. The farmers time
ana team have a per day value when
occupied with operations on the farm
and have an equal value when de-
voted to marketing agv.cult 1ral

The government investigation was
conducted with the object Of disacv-
erlng methods of delivering crops to
market at reduced cost. If the OK
pense could be cheapened one-tenth
it would save farmers $S,OO0.UO an
nually.
The only practical method suggest
ed by the government eXpe,.s was 10
improve the roads Of tho country,
to cheaper the expense Of moving
crops to market. With better pub
lie thoroughfares the farmer could
double the capacity of his load and
reduce the cost of marketing proper
t1onately. Like railways which the
government subsidized with enor-
nous grants of land, the improve
ments of the roads of the country
should command national and state
appropriations and not burden the
local authorities with the cost of
betterments.

TICKLE SPRING.

Since winter returned man
nounced and undesired to play a re-
turn engagement this week some ex-
ceedingly caustic remarks have been
made concerning the weather and
the South Dakota variety in particu-
lar.
Why and how spring and winter
got their dates SO badly twisted is
unknown, but the fact that they did
is sufficiently obvious to every owner
of fruit trees to require no comment.
At the same time it is well to
note that other localities besides
western South Dakota have been
handed a jolt by the elements and
are in no better shape to start off
with a rush this year than the aver
age mar in this neck OF the woods.
Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, all have
their hard luck tales, past and pres
ent to tell, which would make our
state appear.a garden of Eden in
comparison.
Spring will have to start all over
again out here, but the year is long
and a little sand to tide the new
settlers over the occasional hard
places Is all that is necessary to
reap the rewards to be obtained by
the ~fstickers" in this country.

WON ON \ BEAT.
How doc Howard, Jr., the Salesman,
Broke Into Journalism.


Joe Howard entered Journalism
very dramatically, says the Salem,
iMass,) News. While on his way to
Salem to visit relatives he saw a
crowd in the streets of Lynn. lie
allghted from the car, and he learned
that a big strike drew the crowds.
lie was then a salesman by occuDa-
tlon, but a journalist by instinct. He
went to the Sycamore house, looked
over the register, and, observing that
the New York Times was not among
the newspapers represented, he
signed his name "Joseph Howard .Jr..
New York Times"
me newspaper men who were
seated in the hotel corridors, said
they could get no news from the
strikers. Howard went directly to
the old Lyceum hall, where the strik-
ers were meeting. He brushed by
the sentinel at the door and strobe
down the hall with the air of a
man of authority. He addressed
the president, made a stirring speech
and declared that the Times had sent
MIN to see that justice was done the
strikers. He at once won the con-
lidence of the striking element. He
was told everything. He became a
press agent.
Ihat night Howard sent a dispatch
10 the Times. The desk men didn't
Know who Howard was, but they ac-
cepted his dispatches. The next
morning the managing editor tele-
gfaphed Tor more. This was the be-
ginning of Howard's career as P
newspaper man.
INC closing clapta:~1ln Towards
Fig also brought forth a dramatic
episode. Howard made Napolean
Wood, a Lynn shoemaker, the leader
in the strike. Recently Wood told
a newspaper man his recollections of
the strike. While reading his story
IN a Sunday paper Wood died from
heartfailure. His death occurred on
the same day as that of Joe Howard.

The Gildcd Hundred.
(Success.)

uhere is a constantly growing feel
ing IN this country that Robert M,
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, is A states
man, and a statesman in the United
States senate shines like a good deed
IN a naughty world. When, there
lore. he arose recently in opposition
10 the vicious Aldrich Bill, and told
the story of the panic, he was listen
ed to with respectful interest Nv the
country at large. 1t is a dramatic
story that the Wisconsin senator tells
ana so audacious in it's plot, so beau
tlful IN its details, that it is hardly
credible. He told us how the finan-
cal powers planned the October pan
ic, and how they came forward at
the eleventh hour and Saved the
country He showed us what a
beautiful and profitable thing it is
to be a country saver. In conclu-
sion he Informed us that about one
mare men rule this country of
ours n in order that there might
be no doubt about the matter, he told
us who they were. They are the d.
fectors of the great financial insti-
tutlons of the country, and their
names real like a social and inan-
clal directory of New York City.
The unfortunate feature of SEN
ator LaFollette's interesting story, is
mat 1t seems to be substantially true,
New York bankers not belonging to
this exalted II hundred admit that
MS details of the late panic are fair
y accurate. Since conservative sta
tistlcans regard n hundred rulers
as too high a figure the senator has
kindly classified these into the big
fourteen and others. We are left to
our own conclusions as to who rules
the fourteen.
Meanwhile the country is indebted
to Senator LaFolette for a good
speech and a courageous expression
of opinion.
