flection will concede that he permitted himself to wander
 There was another matter under the head of dignity. The governor stated that he had never allowed himself to become too dignfied in his capacity Of governor to serve his party in its councils and on the platrOrms of its conventions. meaning of course party and not factional conventions. Two years ago the republican party was in full accord upon one policy, immensely more vital than the present question of instructions-it was that of opposi- ton to joint statehood. Early in that fight the governor was openly with the people and we believe that he was in spirit with them to the end, in op- position to the domineering and de- structive purpose of President Roose- welt. But though we have heard d great deal of brave talk lately about the sacrifices the governor was ready to make. the only sacrifice that the record shows he did make was that O; the position of territorial chairman. It was understood at the time that the governor believed that that partisan position was incompatible with his of flee of governor of the whole people and as representative or President Roosevelt. Not once after that did Governor Kibbey violate the ethics with which some have charged him with recently violating. Not once throughout that whole hot campaign was he seen upon the platform of a convention or the rostrum at a public meeting nor was any part taken by any territorial or federal official as we can now recall in any anti-statehood gathering. Never was official dig nifty more carefully guarded.
 Of course these things have nothing whatever to do with the governors reading of The Republican out of The Republican party. We merely intro duce them as collateral evidence to show that the governor was egregious- ly in error regarding them and so may he be in error as to The Republicans real relation to its party

Confessed Foreer Tells His Family in

Ray Kennard, in the county Jail at
Madison, expecting soon to leave the
jail for the state penitentiary as a re-
suit of his open and dramatic confess

The letter was written shortly after
his voluntary appearance and confess

Of passing forged Northwestern pay
checks. Sentence was not pronounced
at once.
Kennard the week previous had
asked permission to come before the
court and, his request being granted,
had poured out a dramatic confession
and repentance. Monday he was sum-
moned before the court to make regu-
lar answer to the charge. With his
father present the young man looked
at the judge and said guilty"
The penalty that follows Kennard's
confession is from one to twenty years
in the state penitentiary. The charge
of forgery against Kennard was modi-

paper but the penalty in both cases is
the same.
District Judge Welch declared in
court that he thought the young mans
repentance was both real and thor

SPRING TRADE NORMAL.
Chicago Wholesale Merchants Have
Every Confidence In Business,

Chicago, Feb. 15.-That the early
spring trade of Chicago's wholesale
and retail houses is reaching up to the
normal. and that managers are making
ready for an unprecedented business
when the usual buying season for out

weeks, was made known yesterday.

buyers had come into the store since

Mr.. Moody was much encouraged

"The Association of Commerce has
not had any merchants excursions
this year for the reason that with the

been necessary.

any crowds of buyers in town on paw

OLDEST HoMESTEApER.
South Dakotan, Born in 1895, Settled
on Claim When He Was 1o7.

on Claim When He Was 107.
Iona, S. d., Feb. 15.-Commodore
Clayton. who died here few days ago,
was not only the oldest man in the
state but was the oldest homesteader
in the world. He was 122 years old
at the time of his death, and filed on a
quarter section of South Dakota land
when he was 107 years old.
The old family bible, found among
his effects, gives the date of Clayton's
birth as 1895. He was born in Ten
nessee and was working on his IA
theirs farm while the latter was a
member of the army of General An
drew Jackson in the battle of New
Orleans in the war of 1912. He was
one of the members of the Brigham
Young party of pilgrims that wandered
to Salt Lake City in 1S47, joining the
party at Council Bluffs.
About twelve years ago, when there
was general rush for claims in this
vicinity, Clayton was one of the many
thousands of landseekers. He settled
on a homestead near here and proved
up on a five years residence. For
more than five years he farmed the
land and reaped splendid profits.
Surprising as it may seem his ment-
al faculties and eyesight were unim-
paired to the very end. For several
years it was the custom Of the young
homesteaders to gather in his claim
'shanty" and listen to his stories of
early experiences, which we're intense
ly interesting.
