Abusing the scandinavians.

The Argus-Leader has begun its
abuse Of the Scandinayians for being
independent liberty loving people.
The Scandinavians have always
been noted for their love Of liberty
and justice, and away back In terri
torial days they manifested a spirit Of
independence that the ~carpetbag
gang could never overcome. That
same spirit has grown in strength
with numbers until the Scandina Wan
voters Of the state number Owe 25,-
600, one quarter Of the entire vote,
and while here and there may be
found some who hang onto the cor
pOration band wagon, the great ma
jority are men who love liberty and
freedom, and hate corruption and
despise political bosses and abhor q
corrupt political machine.
The Scandinavians came from a
country where love OF liberty and
freedom OF action has been q promi-
nent feature ID their lives for over a
thousand years, and it Is natural for
them TO hate corruption and bossism
In any form, and the descendants Of
those grand old sea kings In South
Dakota, are just as independent as
their forefathers.
The Scandinavian Republican State
League Is composed very largely OF
farmers who are great readers. They
discovered away back In 1895 that the
old political gang was robbing them
Of their rights and running the state
In the interest Of the railroads. They
rebelled and thousands cast their
votes for Andrew 3. Lee. There was
no direct relief In this as the old
Kittredge machine had . lobby grip
that Lee could not break.
In 1904 the League, as an organiza-
tion. went into politics u save the
state from further robbery, but E. w.
Martin proved q traitorat Sioux Falls
and the state was again sold to the.
railroads through Kittredge and
Elrod.
The League demanded justice and q
square deal, but the old machine
laughed at their demands.
In 1905 the League said to the peo-
pie OF the state: We have been robbed
and plnndered enough; 1t must stop,
and the men responsible for the filth
Of q corrupt lobby at Pierre must be
dr1vaa from place and power, and
robbery Of the people must end. The

He Won't Always Be One.

"and he sometimes manages to hand
back a rather good one, though as a

that kind.

Three striking and powerful dis
cussions of great questions make the
July McClure's an especially i'm
portant number. Samuel Hopkins
Adams treats, in the opening article,
of the appalling loss of life due to
the lack of sane methods for the
protection of the health Of the
American public. Judge Mckenzie
Cleland in a statement of his judicial
experience in Chicago, shows the
extraordinary success of a new plan
for dealing with city criminals,
which he inaugurated in that city.
And Will c. Barnes gives a fresh
and vigorous character sketch of
Clifford Pinchot, and his fight to pre-
serve one of our chief national as
sets. Ellen Terry continues her
charming record Of her American
impressions, and the "reminiscences
of Carl Schurz picture the final
downfall of President Johnson. The
fiction includes THE Heritage of
Ham," a haunting tragedy of militia
ry life in the Philippines, and THE
Singers Heart" an appealing story
of stage life by Harris Murton Lyon.
Josephine Dasham Bacon contributes
one of her sketches to child life,
and Joseph Blethen tells novel and
striking Indian story. of a new type.
Mary Stewart Cuttings notable
novel, THE Wayfarers," is conclud
ed in this number.

Anything was better than uncertainty.
"Cynthy," he said softly, and the girl

but with Indifferent success by the ma.

the state of his heart In fact, if ques-
toned, he might have replied that he
knew it too we'll to need to give it fur
ther consideration. He was more
alarmed about the condition of another
heart which he wanted for his own.
Thought was ever swifter than
speech with Lem Minturn, and now as
he stood beside Cynthy, looking down
at her while she looked off toward the
horizon, 1t travelled over all the little
bypaths of memory the very approach
es to which he had apparently forgot
ten until that day week ago when he
had seen Cynthy for the first time IN
Xix years. Ever since then his thoughts
had been busy with Olden days. h
could recall all the chief events In tho
early life Of both from the time when
she was tiny mite In pinafOres and
he was sturdy lad rejoicing In his
nrsr real pochris.
until she was fifteen years old and her
family had moved away to the city
where there were more advantages for
the children. He had been seventeen
then and had completed his first year
In the mill.
There she stood, looking so much like
the Old days that be could almost have
believed they had never been separated
except for the recurring thought that

reason so old that had not recognized
1t and at the same time SO new that it
brings more pain than joy Cynthy,
you are the reason"
He paused again and saw the blood
surge up into the girls face. Her
breath came in quick gasps, but she
turned toward him with a look that
was partly inquiry, partly surprise and
some doubt, but there was no repug-
nance. That encouraged him to take
up his narrative where he had so alb
ruptly stopped.
Il love you, Cynthy, but l did not
know it until a week ago. / thought l

Cynthy, it was because you had all my
heart, and l did not know it. 1t was
really for you that studied and won
my way to success. was too wholly
boy when you went away to under
stand what gave me such pain to part
with you. But even then l must have
loved you"
He paused for a moment as If to
steady himself for what must follow.
Cynthy said nothing, but she drew
nearer to him as If unconsciously
drawn, and her face was lighted with
smile that even Lem saw was the
outward expression of inward joy. He
drew her into his arms, and she did
not resist. For moment he held her
so, while he waited for his heart to
steady. Then with a twinkle in his
honest brown eye he turned her face
up to his and before kissing her said,
"Cynthy, s'pose we get married"
And Cynthy answered, "Sposin'."

IT had always been Cynthy's woI

VT had always been Cynthy's word,
and Lem felt no disposition to
quarrel with it under the circum-
stances He let his mind run
back to the long ago days when he
carried her books to school and plan
ned small treats within the scope of
their narrow lives which his awkward
tongue and self conscious mind almost
prevented his laying before her. Gym
thy was not given to many words her
self, and so when he finally managed
to suggest "S'pose we go berrying Sat
nrdRy?" or skating, as the season
Might allow, Cynthy had always con-
tented herself with replying 'S'posin'."
He saw himself again as he was In
those days, big for his years, hands
and face tanned almost leather color
with sun and wind, a shock Of unruly
brown hair and eyes of almost the
same shade He did himself but scant
Justice as far as appearance went. 1t
did not occur to him that he had been
a goodly sight to look upon even at
that time, for he had been then as now
the seeming embodiment of rugged
health. Looking at Cynthy, he saw
traces of the same air Of fragility that
had characterized her as a child and
seemed to set her apart from the other
children. He had long known that it
was not an indication of weak health,
but was due rather to a certain trans
parency of skin which neither sun nor
wind seemed to affect. He felt just as
big and overgrown beside her today as
he had done years ago, and Cynthy's
assent to his latest suggestion had fill
ed him with The same sense of wonder
and delight as in TIT old time
He would have liked to know if Gym
thy was thinking of those old days In
the same way as he was. He recalled
that in that faraway time he used to
speculate whether that simple word of
assent "Sposin' caused Cynthy any
OF the pleasurable sensations it gave
him to hear it. He had never dared
10 ask such a question, and he wonder
ed If he ever would. There was q de-
aightful possibility that he might, and
hts heart beat higher at the thought.
If he had stopped to consider that fact
he would have known it was quite IN
necessary, as that organ had not been
doing normal work for a week past
and before this last increase had been
going TO an alarming rate Indeed,
were there no prospect of a decrease
even the sturdy frame of Lem Minturn
could not long have withstood its on
slaught. But no thought of danger
from that cause rose in the young
mans mind There were more dan
gerous things for him to consider than
