mistaken and undisputed. We make
this statement entirely of our own free

it will make any correction or repara

of it, the latter portion to which Mr.

SPEAKING of railroad attorneys, we
can see no reason why they should be
regarded as sinners above all other
sinners Gov. Crawford was for years
the regularly appointed attorney Of

road for this state and Senator Kit.

the Chicago, Milwaukee 81 ST. Paul.
Neither of them ever denied 1T and,
we presume, neither OF them ever
felt called upon to apologize for it. II
Is position requiring ability and
approved experience, commanding
good compensation and diligently
sought for by able attorneys. We can
not understand why railroads are moi
entitled to BIZ represented in court by
as good lawyers as they can secure
just the same as murderers, brew er
and churches are.

The vRRMILLION REPUBLICAN AND ITS
DOUBLE HEADER

Last week the Verimil'ion Republi-
can started y ..Progressives' Column
which Is 70 be in charge OF an insur-
gent editor until after the June
primaries. The Republican itself is
strongly stalwart, and disclaims all re-
sponsioiiity for the sentiments therein
expressed. Inasmuch as the Republi-
Can is the only republican newspaper
Ia the couaty and as both progressives
and stalwarts expect to train under
the same banner after June, this course
is broad aud fair. The first weeks
contribution is mild and reasonable
and If 1T continues la the same strain
no great damage will be done. One
paragraph is of special interest 10
Union county and we here reproduce IL
below:
For the Senate the two candidates,
Mr., Cfa~ford and Mr.. Kittredge, fairly
represent the principles and policies for
which the two factions are cOntending.
But for the House the situation seems
quite different. To the writer ana to
zine. tenths of the voters to whom he
has talked regarding the situation,
Burke, Glass and Parker seem entirely
unsatisfactory, Hall has not been az
pouoced, aud thus We are left with
one man, <. W. Martin. His record
in Congress is excellent; his personal
character lie clean; his abilities are of
high order, -but he trains with the
Standpatters. However, his every
vote in Congress, his past and present
stand upon public matters, mark him
as Prog ressive. From all sides comes
demand that Hon. E. c. Ericsson OF
Elk Point allow his name to be placed
upon our ballot as candidate for Con-
gress In ability and character he is
the peer OF any man ia the State and
be would carry a tremendous vote
wherever he Is known He is a Pro-
gressive, but the Stalwarts would give
him q large vote for the same reasons
that the Progressives will give Mar
tin MANY votes. Under our primary
law we, the voters In the ranks, can
express our wishes as to nominating
officers and we propose to have none
mt clean, upright, able, and honest

on account Of his activity 10 behalf OF
the cause of Smoot, and the hierarchy
has gone to his defense.
III is not unreasonable TO suppose
that the same influeoce would oppose
the reelection of Mr.. Kittredge ia
South Dakota. The church needs all
the friends it can secure in the Unit-
ed States senate and In other high
places. for there is now before cong ress,
proposition for constitutional
amendment TO turn all polygamists over
TO the jurisdiction OF the federal au' h0r-
titles, under the provisions Of q dupli-
tie of the Edmuuds- Tucker act, which
filled the penitentiaries OF the west
with many times Mormon convicts In
territorial times.
1.-The hierarchy will defeat every
senator and congressman who is not
its friend, if it can, that it may save
the churchly polygamtsts from the fate
involved 10 the proposed constitutional
amendm mt. 1t will pursue Mr.. Kit

been told that he was to meet MI.

Crawford, in his speech at Elk Point,
March 4, and elsewhere throughout
the state.
We have taken the governor at
his word, aud on page 1854, Session
Laws of lS99-the very first year the
governor refers to--is found Chapter
1875, "An Act Requiring Railroads to
Furnish Side Track Facilities Between
its Main Track and Elevators, Ware
houses and FlouriIg Mills Upon Or
Contiguous to Their Rights of Way"
This act was approved and became
law, March 6, 1899.
Nothing more than the title is really
needed to show that this law comes in
and meets exactly the governors
challenge, but in order that there may
be no mistake about it and because
many of our readers do not have the
session laws close at hand for ready
reference, we will quote in full the first
section, giving in substance the drift
of the whole law:

which General Washington had deter.
mined to cross the Delaware river.
Dec. Is, 177e, and attack the British
army at Trenton an Englishman In the
neighborhood dispatched his son with
q note to the British commander, Cen
eral Rail-, to warn him Of the APP
preaching danger. The general was
deeply absorbed In a game Of chess
when the note was presented to him
and without withdrawing his attention
from the board thoughtlessly put the
note into his vest pocket. After the
battle that took place the next day,
when the British commander, mortally
wounded, was carried into the house
Of Stacey Potts, the note was for1d
unopened In his. pocket.
