SLUMP OF

Clate Tinan, in the Kimball
Graphic, finds something In the
returns of the recent primary to
verify what usually happens in the
case Of a reform party that attempts
the so-called reforms for the purpose
of securing an office, which Seems to
have been the motive of the present
incumbents at the state house out
at Pierre. Speaking with reference
to the results Of the primary. the
Graphic has the following comment
on the the falling off of The insurgent
dominance in the State:
Two years ago the INSURGENTS
controlled the Sioux Falls state con-
vention by a majority OF about 1865
delegates. At the Huron convention
10 April next, they will lave, as
said, less than a dozen--if they have
that. 1t is the old, old story of a
political reaction that inya j tbIy
follows a stampede like that which
went to the called reform elem; mt
In 1906. The stalwarts made such
tremendous gain chat the leaders are
naturally jubliant as to the outcome
Of the June primaries, and it should
MT be surprising if there should be
a terrible slump in the insurgeut
ranks In the next sixty days and a
stampede for the Kittredge tand
wagon on the part of those at least
who have been beating the tomtoms
for Crawford because that appeared
TO be the popular side-just as the
leaders OF the Insurgents jumped for
the Taft band wagon at the eleventh

In a statement j. Fl. Carroll, Of
De Smet, who announced himself as
a candidate for lieutenant governor
on the 'nsurgent ticket. declares
that 1t is not his intention to with
draw from the race, Notwithstanding
the fact that Shober seems to have
the Endorsement Of the leaders Of
the faction. Mr.. Carroll believes
in the honest intention Of the pri-
mary, evidently, and not in the
perverted use to which it has been
put by the insurgents, when they
found that it was not working to
their ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in the matter
of securing delegates to the state
convention.

TIE l:.:IT HABIT.
A Custom That Is Neither Becoming
Nor Health Giving.

~ NuStom mat Is Neither Becoming
Nor Health Giving.
Why do both men and women persist
In wearing hats? asks Pearson's Maya
zine. There are three reasons why we
should wear clothes. We may wear
them for the sake of decency, for the
sake of warmth and for the sake Of dis.
play. None Of these reasons applies
to the wearing Of hats. OF course
there are head coverings that are
warm, such as the 1celander's sealskin
hood and the fisherman's toque; but, as
q rule. there is no real warmth in the
hat of either sex. When a woman pins
a slight structure Of straw md artificial
flowers on the top of her hair she new.
er for al instant imayines that the
thing will keep her from taking cold
The masculine top hat is certainly
warm on a hot day, but 1t is very far
from warm in cold weather.
Neither are hats worn for the pur-
pose of display. Doubtless there are
times when women make !ha hat the
occasion Of di.pla. ing thni, rsna.e%.
for dead birds, muslin tlGTc.s AZ e.
er beautiful objects, but this is orlv
when fashion has decreed that big hats
shall be worn. At other times the fe.
male hat is so m%icroscopically small
that it could not be successfully used
for displaying anything. AS for mems
hats. they never display anything ex-
cept the atrocious taste which makes
them fashionable. Why, then, in the
name Of all that Is sensible. do men
and women wear hats7
AZ a rule. every man and every wo-
man looks better without a hat than
with one. This Is why we all take of
our hats at the opera or at an evening
party. and yet we cling to a custom
that has not a word to be said in its Re.
half. We persist In wearing the ugly.
useless and injurious hat. Why do We
do 1t? should like to find a good Irish
echo that would answer the question
At length and In a satisfactory way.

N INSUFFICIENT CONFESSION

Sioux Falls Press: IL public officials
are not rewarded for good service,
what incentive can they have to
play square with people?
Aberdeen News: Thus the chief
organ Of the s'reform'' machine
expresses the Views Of insurgent
leaders. II the Crawford coterie of
public officials, those in control of
the state administration, "are not
rewarded for good service. what
incentive can they have to play
square with the people, There is
: great difference Of opinion as to
what Is meant by the words "pood
service,' but there can be no mis-.
taking the meaning Of the last
portion of the sentence quoted. The
surprising thing is the admission 1t
contains.
Admitting for q moment that the
reform officials, under the leader
ship Of their master, Governor Craw-
ford, have performed good service
even though the effort be painful
md considering the fact that at the
recent primaries q vast majority Of
the people by their vote demonstrated
their emphatic disgust for the Craw-
ford brand Of s.reform"-a fact proven
by the popular vote-it would seem
that, following the argument Of the
chief reform organ, 1t is useless
e play square with the people.
lt is exceedingly gratifying to
read this admission OF %insurgent
leaders, a. expressed By their organ.
IL has long been known that they
have not played square with the
people but the confession was quite
unexpected.
