FREE LUMBER AND FREE PULP

We have had the pleasure of read
ing Congressman PhilO Halls speech
delivered in the house of representa-
tives and recorded in the COngression-
al Record. 1t was a speech character
istic of the man who delivered it.
strong, forceful and clothed in fine
language. His arguments were con-
vincing and his comparisons astonish-
ing. Contained in the speech were
many saliant points, prominent among
which is the fact that while we are
giving protection to the lumber trusts
We are depriving thousands of carpen-
tiers and kindred tradesmen from OBJ
tanning employment because of the
prohibitive prices of lumber-that
while we are protecting the lumber
barons we are forgetting that the for
ests OF this country are being wanton-
ly destroyed and shamefully wasted in
the haste TO gather mammon-that
while we are fostering the gigantic pa
per trust we are also sitting the ma.
tons best and most intelligent friends
the book, magazine and newspaper in
because of prohibitive prices
placed upon wood pulp. If it is pos
sible the Register hopes to print this
speech in full for it strikes home to
every citizen of this nation, high or
low, rich or poor and we believe that
sooner or later there will be an up.
rising demand for less protection to
the lumber and paper trusts and more
to the builders of homes ;
and the intellectual builders of the
nation. Congressman Hall will no J
doubt be pleased to send a copy of
this speech to those who desire it.

Congressman Philo Hall is in Wash
ington attending to his duties as rep
resentative Of this state. He has in
troduced a bill to secure a $780, 600
public building for this city. Speaker
Cannon has let 1t be known that ia
vorable consideration will be given a
public building bill at this session Of
congress. If BroOkings can secure a
public building of this kind does 1t
really matter who is 'cooped' in 1t?
With the State College of Agriculture
here and owing to the many natural
reasons which might be presented
Brookings is entitled to a public build
ing. 1t is humiliating to know that a
man will become so debased as to go
against the interests of his locality in
order to spite the majority of good citi-
zens who have lost faith in him. If
this is stalwartism then pray resurrect
the ''copeprheads'-they are prefer
able.

1t is really refreshing to have the
Press acknowledge that it lied to the
voters of Bookings county during the
recent contest before the primaries.
Every week 1t told it's readers that
there was being no fight made on Con.
gresham Hall-everybody was friend
ly to Philo." The Register was ac-
cused of stirring up strife when it
tried to enlighten the voters that
Allen-Mathews-Chee were
doing their best to steal Brookings
county In the interest OF Senator Kilt
redge, who would rather see Philo
Hall defeated than to win his own
election. Now the Press says they
came pretty near defeating Mr.. Hall.
What will the voters think when they
recall how the Press endeavored to Sc
cure a vote adverse to Congressman
Hall?

Standard Oil Co, which sought to
knock it out. Though the company

young attorney from South Dakota
brought the Standard to their knees

The U. S. supreme court has hand
ed down a decision inyalidating the
Minnesota railroad rate law which is
held to interfere with the interstate
railway legislation. In other words
the national government must, through
the interstate commerce commission,
regulate the transportation charges.
This by no means defeats the common
wealth but fixes the responsibility up
on and under national government
control.
