The Turner County Herald thinks
1t isn't fair to go into the past too
much, and thinks that after all 1t does
not really matter how Kittredge or
Crawford voted five or ten years ago.
The Herald Is wrong II matters q
good deal. 1t has been shown that
Mr.. Crawford in times gone by when
he was trusted betrayed his constitu-
ents, broke his pledges. and voted
with the corporations. He did ii on
the gross earnings tax law He did 1t
on the amendment to elect senators
by direct vote of the people He did
il on the anti trust bill. He did 1t
on taxation matters. II Is fair to
presume that II he has become good
all at once he has done SO for pur-
pose, and that when that purpose Is
accomplished he will baekslide to hts
old idols. A mans record is the meas
ure of what he will be in the future.
Mr.. Kittredge does not try tododge his
record, and Mr.. Crawford would not,
II he were not afraid OF it.
If Mr.. Crawford does not explain
his betrayal of the people on thar
gross earnings tax law, the voters win
begin to think that he has no. explain
alton to make. Already his defenders
have begun to say that things which
happened before 1904 do not count.
But they do. A mans character iS
shown by what he does when he D
trusted; and when q man betrays q
trust, It Is fair to conclude thai ho -
unworthy OF future trust -

take especial pride in seeing the
states of the west properly repre-

found Senator Kittredge not only
loyal to every western interest. but,
on account of his intelligent compre-
hension and standing as senator,
capable of promoting those interests
to a degree quite beyond a less loyal
or less influential man.
That he has done faithful and eff

broader sense, for the nation, also
know TO be true.

Kittredge a faithful and objective

it has been his duty to conserve,

Very few men have attained TO a
position of such influence in the hlgn

time and / can hardly believe that
so young a state as South Dakota,
which must necessarily ask mucn
from congress. would voluntarily put
him aside for less experienced man
who might not, as few do, possess
the qualities which would give him
influence and who, at any rate. must
require some time to attain to the

Mr.. Kittredge.

THE LUMBER INVESTIGATION

Senator Kittredge is directly re-
sponslble for the investigation or the
great lumber trust. Early'in his SEN
atorial career he had become con-
vinced that less than half dozen men
had their fingers upon the lumber sup
ply of the country and that they actu-
ally controlled both the wholesale and
the retail prices through a system of
blacklisting those dealers who re-
fused to accede to the demands of
the trust. He offered a resolution for
an investigation by the department of
commerce and labor, and supported
the same by speech in which he dis
closed the iron hand of the gigantic
combination. The disclosures at
tracted wide attention and formed the
basis of movement by the federal
authorities which warrants the belief
that much good will result therefrom.
Much of the testimony (being of a
confidential nature) was not submit
ted to congress. but as soon as the
resolution passed, the senator turn
ed over to the department a mass of
investigation. Within sixty days af-
ter the adoption of the resolution the
price of lumber began falling. With
respect to this, he said in his recent
speech at Salem:
"As long as ! stay in the senate
will stay with that proposition until
the prices Of lumber shall be forced
to such point that ii is just and
fair and reasonable for our people,"
In his speech in support of the reso-
luton, Senator Kittredge said that
while the existence of the trust can
not properly be ascribed TO the tariff,
nevertheless he would vote for the re-
peal of the customs duty at his first
opportunity 1t should be borne in
mind that under the constitution all
measures for the modification of tariff
schedules must originate in the lower
branch Of congress.

"H,s WORD NEEDS NO BOND"

His word needs no bond. He Is
absolutely free from cupidity, and his
adherence of graft in any form, big
or petty, is manifest In his every act.
His temperament is phIegmatic In APP
pearance only; he is highly sensitive,
es the finest sensiblities. Petty
meanness and tricks of deception are
foreign to his nature. He has none
of the arts of the small politician or
petty demagogue, and Is incapable OF
the betrayal of trust, deceiving
those who place their confidence In
him, or wiIfully infIicting punishment
These are traits Of a great character
which tell in the life Of public man,
and they account for the wonderful in
fiuence which Senator kittredge al
ready yields in congress, and make
II safe to predict that at the close OF
another term Of service in the senate
he will have few peers In that body"
Extract from tWo-column article in
Washington Herald, April 5, 1903.
Senator Kittredge's standing with
the national Legislators is only what
would be expected from a man OF his
character. His word needs no bond"
Mr.. Kittredge was member of the
South Dakota senate in 1891, the year
when the pOpullStS ana democrats
combined, outnumbered the republic
ans, yet, notwithstanding the tension
growing out of the partisan sentiment
of the times, there was neither a pop
ulist nor a democrat associated with
the senator in legislative work who
would not readily accept Mr.. Kilt
redge's word with regard to legisla-
tive matters. What was true with re-
spect to the session of 1891 is like
wise true concerning all other legis-
lative bodies of which he was mem
ber-his associates learned that his
word needs no bond.

The characteristics which have won
distinction for Senator Kittredge az
the national capital are but the devel-
opment of traits which marked MS
youth
Born in the little town of Nelson,
In Cheshire county, N. H., March zS,
1861, Mr.. Kittredge spent the hrst
sixteen years OF his life on farm, at
tending school only about four months
of each year, as was usual for boys
associated with the exactions OF farm
work. Then, having an ambition to
acquire an education, he went to live
with the family of the Congregational
minister at the county seat, where he
studied Latin, Greek and mathemat-
les, in order to fit himself to enter
Yale college. Graduating from this
and graduated from the law depart
ment of Yale in 1885, at the age of
twenty-four.
He became noted for industry and
perseverance before entering his
"teens," and as a farm lad he per-
sisted In doing well whatever he un-
dertook. In his college life these
characteristics were further developed
until it was generally said OF him by
his associates that he works all the
time"
Clean Private Life.
Soon after finishing his collegiate
course he became a resident of Sioux
Falls, where he quickly attained to
high rank as a lawyer. Although he
has been prominent in public af-
fairs for more than twenty years,
and despite the fact that partisan and
factional feelings have frequently
been intense, no man in his home
town has ever risen to question Sen
ator Kittredges business or profess
sional integrity or to breathe a word
of criticism of his private life.
