Back In The Ranks

Alexandria Herald: If there is
not a great change Of sentiment
throughout the state in the political
situation, the Herald misses its
guess. Many counties which W
years ago were strongly insurgent are
now back in the republican ranks.
aud a number Of these counties have
given a most enthusiastic endorse
ment to Senator Kittreuge's candi-
dacy. Likewise, a number IF men
prominent in state politics have
deserted the insurgent ranks and are
now lined up with the stalwart
faction. Judging from pr sant
indications Senator Kittredge has
more than made good during the
time he has been engaged in spr ech-
making. His dignihed and temperate
addresses, With Fever a word of
personality or abuse, have done much
toward convincing the people OF
South Dakota that he is the proper
person to represent this great
commonwealth in the United States
senate, and they will see to 1t that
he is returned to that position.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-03-13

would not give. The governor sought
to prejudice the minds Of the reople
In the audience by saying THAT the
railroads of the country were bghtins
the lock canal and that Senator
Kittrsdge, because Of his alleged
railroad sympathies, was working in
harmony with them. and. further,
that the other railroad senators
were assisting Senator Kilt,edpe.
The vote, however. when it was
taken. on the type Of the canal TO be
decided on, disclosed that Governor
Crawford was simply playing to the
galleries and that he did no; tell the
truth. The vote disclosed the fact
that a dozen or more rairload sel,a-
tors, such as Foraker, Kean Fulton.
Aldrich, ETC., voted absolutely in
favor Of the lock canal, just the
opposite of what be claimed the rail-
roads wanted. That is very CT cap
argument coming from the governor
of the state, particularly when he
said that he wanted to tell the
truth. There must have t.en an
awful straininv at the strings of his
conscience When he so miserably
misrepresented the situation.

LECTURE COURSE MEETING
Plans Being Made for the University
Lecture Course Next Year:
Some Good Things.

The annual convention of Lecture
Course Committees of South Dakota
aud northwest Iowa met at Sioux
Falls. The purpose Of this onven
tion was todiscuss plans and methods
and select talent for the ensuing
season. At this convention all the
important Lyceum Bureaus Of the
middle west were represented, each
presenting . strong list OF talent. In
fact 90 many good things are now
being put on by the Bureaus that
any local committee finds 1t difficult
to select the most appropriate at
fractions for its. own constituency.
In the past few years there is a
marked revival and growth in the
Importance Of the Lyceum platform
in this country. This makes it
possible for first class talent to get
the attention It must have in order
to meet the expenses of extensive

was represented al this meeting and
took some definite steps toward
securing attractions for the coming
season.. 1t is too early now to
advertise Individuals; suffice 1t to
say that this committee has under
consideration the very best that
could be selected from all the talent
presented. We have the best lecture
course in the state and we want to
keep it so. 10 doing this 1t is a
problem to satisfy. Some call for
more lectures; some Tor more and
higher class music; others for more
entertainers, more bumor. The
course as outlined at Sioux Falls by
the local committee is designed to
meet. in just as far as possible, the
tastes and desires of all these good

GOV. CRAWFORD ON TAXES

In his speech Friday evening In
This city, Governor Crawford took up
the matter vf taxes as one that
vitality Interested every man in the
hall. The governor assumed to give
inforn. alton that was truthful and
SO declared himself, and further he
declared that he would not speak a
half truth and let the rest OF it 30.
But did he? He explained the tax
proposition in just such a manner
that would revert to tile credit of
his administration. In referring to
the taxes of any county In the state
the governor made the sweeping
declaration that the state board Of
equalization had nothing to do
with the assessment or the levying
OF taxes in any county, that they
we're as far apart from each other as
could possibly be.
He declared that the stawlarts in
discussing the tax matter Included
school, county, bridge, insane, and
all kind Of taxes as a part of the
state tax. Now the governor abso.
lutely. misrepresents the stawlarts on
that proposition. In discussing the
tax proposition they have eliminated
the Irvine tar and no reference has
been made to the other county taxes.
In declaring that the State Board Of
Equalization has nothing whatever
to do with the county matter, he
again misrepresented the situation,
- 10 shown by the records of the
state auditors of1ce. He said that
II the taxes are too high you should
take 1t I'D with your county com.
m%issioners. intimating that they
made the assessment on lands too
high. and not the state admioistra-
tion. That responsibility is abso-
lutely the work Of the State Board OF
Equalization, Of which the honorable
governor is the president or chair
man. That same state hoard Of
equalization, which the governor
claims has nothing to do with
making the taxes, increased the as
sessment on farm lands in the state
s3l, 600, 600. They did it at the
March, 1907, meeting ana the county
commissioner and assessors were
given to understand by the state
auditor that those figures must be
sustained when the assessment was
made in tie following Msy. That

Solder May Get His Drink.

Because the saloons of Little Rock refuse to violate the state law which forbids them to sell intoxicating liquor to regular army soldiers of the United States army without the consent of the soldiers commanding officer, the con stitutionality of the statute is about to be contested, according to the state ment of Capt, C. D. Clay. of Fort Lo- gan II. Roots. The attention of the war department authorities at Wash ington Is to be called to the arid condi- tions surrounding the soldiers of the fort here in the midst of so much mois- ture, and it is declared that the case, if need be, will be carried to the su- preme court of the United States in order to test the state law. The an nouncement of the army officer follows the refusal of bartender in Little Rock saloon to sell liquor to several men of Capt. Clay's company. To sell to them would, under the law, subject the saloon keeper to fine of S100 and the forfeiture of his license. Capt Clay pending the settlement of the affair in the courts, has issued wholesale per mission to his soldiers to get all they want to drink.
