GOOD PLAN.

If any one doubts that the lumber
trust fears Kittredge let him go at
once to his local lumber dealer and
see if he is supporting Kittredge.-
Huronite.
The lumber trust, as our readers
know is represented by agents at all
the so-called '9ine yards" Inde-
pendent yards owned by local indi-
viduals are not always in the trust,
but are forced to do business at the
same prices as the trust, while the
trust reaps the benefit. Every re.
preventative of slime" company along
the c. q n. w. railway in Kingsbury
county, SO far as we know, is sup
porter Lf Kittredge, and so are some
of the independent dealers.
Yes, if you doubt that the lumber
trust wants Kittredge back in the
senate just investigate and see how
many of the dealers, or their agents,
are supporting him. We thank the
Huronite for suggesting an easy
proof of Kittredge's friendship for
the lumber trust.

We notice that the machine press
throughout the state is appealing to
the people to vote for machine candi-
dates for the Legislature on the
strength of their personal popularity.
Personal popularity has been the
greatest weapon of offense of the
corrupt politician since corruption be.
gan. 1t is a fact that many voters
lose sight of the principle involved
and allow themselves to be influenced
by the personal popularity of the
candidate. Is it any wonder then
that later on these same voters have
occasion to deplore the work of thei,
representative in the legislatures and
in congress, and cry out against the
corruption that has crept in? 1t is
safe to say that the faction or candi-
date that makes his campaign one
constant appeal on the strength ol
personal popularity has few, if any
principles at stake and would rather
hide what principles he does have
In the present campaign the progress
sive republicans have principles al
stake. The reforms demanded by the
republican platform two years age
and enacted into laws at the last ses
sion of the legislature are at stake.
The old machine is opposed to them
and the election of a working majority
of the Legislature would mean the re-
peal or publication Of those laws BY

THE RECORD.

The last Legislature passed several
laws that were of direct benefit to
the common people among which may
be mentioned.
The Primary Election law.
The Employers Liability law.
The Reciprocal Demurrage law
The Connecting Track law.
The anti-lobby law.
The q cent Rate law.
The record shows that Kits friends
in the legislature opposed nearly all
of these measures as long as there was
a possibility of defeating them.
Should the old Kittredge machine
be restored to power, every one of
these laws would be repealed or so
amended as to make them imperative.
Mr.. Voter, it is up to you to say
whether this shall be done or not

ANDY LEE, the democratic candi-
date for governor, is receiving great
many boquets from some of the old re
publican machine newspapers. Andy
as democrat is so much better man
than Andy as populist who beat the
old machine in 1896, and Andy as a
democratic candidate is much abler
man for governor than Andy as COVER
nor elected by the fusionists of 1896
In a sly way these fellows who are
calling themselves republicans and
throwing boquets at Andy will use their
influence to induce voters to vote for

amendment. Where the duties of an
office are purely clerical an official
elected because of his personal popu-
larity and with a disregard political
principles can do no harm beyond
helping to build up his party faction
for the future. But where an official
is charged with the making or execut-
ing Of laws, it is the greatest mistake
a voter can make to allow his personal
friendship to influence his vote. Vote
for principle. If you want railroad
assessments reduced, if you want the
primary law repealed, if you want the
old lobby system restored at the state
capitol, if you want the old railroad
convention system restored, and if
you want to say to the people of the
country at large that South Dakota
no longer favors the effort to restrict
trusts or regulate railroad transporta-
ton, that they no longer favor pro-
gress but would rather go backward
TO strict trust rule in state and nation
then vote for machine candidates
wherever they are more popular. If
you are not in favor of a step back
ward, vote for men who stand for
principle regardless of whether they
have the reputation of being "good
fellow" Personal popularity has
carried many wrong man into high
places.

They Met In August.

The home of Mrs. Henry Baker
and Mrs. Will Rosendahl was the
scene of a pleasant gathering, last
Wednesday afternoon. 1t was the
occasion Of the August meeting of
the Presbyterian Woman's Mission
airy Society. By request, Mrs.
Chambers presided. The devotional
service was led by Miss BERTHE Vim.
After that Mrs. Westfall gave an
interesting review of the chapter
from "Gloria Christi" on "Indust-
trial missions. It is only Of late
years that the Christian world has
been aroused to the Importance of
teaching the heather and pagan
peoples the useful arts of industry
in conjunction with the imparting
of spiritual truth. Mrs. Westfall
spoke mostly of the work done in
that line in African missions and
specially in the Loveland Mission.
Every year, industrial missions are
being extended and enlarged in all
important mission statious.
Mrs. Schleuder gave the Current
Events Of the Kingdom" both in
foreign and home lands. which in
dicated hopeful progress and in
creased zeal in many parts Of Cod s
vineyard.
Mrs. Chambers read two selections
concerning the self sacrificing devo-
ton of the missionaries on the field,
which puts to shame the meagre
gifts and half hearted service Of
many who are surrounded with
every comfort that Christian com.
murity affords.
The delicious luncheon served by
the hostesses closed the program.

II. f. Buechner Sells Out.

H. F. Buechner of the opera house
grocery last Saturday transferred
the stock of groceries and the good
will in his business to two of our
younger business men, Albert trust
and nj. w. Hingeley.
The transfer was not generally
known until Monday morning, when
the public generally expressed it's
approval of the new firm of Trust &
Hingeley, as well as regret at the
withdrawal of Mr.. Buechner. who is
recognized as reliable and thorough
business man. Mr.. Buechner has
been in the business about four years
and has found the close confinement
since buying out his partner, G. E.
Mckay, to be a little too much for
his liking and, getting a good offer
from Messrs Trust and Hingeley, he
accepted it.
Albert trust and M. w. Hingeley
are too we'll known to most of our
local readers to need any introduc-
ton. Albert was a popular sales
man in The Big Store for years. be-
fore going on the road as salesman
for a Minneapolis wholesale house.
On account of his family Mr.. trust
has been looking for a favorable
business opening, and on account Of
his large acquaintance hereabouts
we are gratifed that he has found it
here. Of Capt. Hingeley we can
truly say that every man in Compa.
ny Lis more than pleased that he
has found an opening that will keer
him in this city, and host of other
acquaintance feel the same way
The new firm has a good stand and
the prestige of well managed gro.
Gerry business to begin with, as wei
as the best wishes of their friends
who are legion.

LIEUT.. PARKER SURPRISED.
Company Gets After Him with a Good
Time and Suitable Mement0.

Reference was made in the last
Gazette to the visit of Lieut.. Parker
of Revere, on the evening of the day
on which The Gazette is printed. It
was known in the company that a
little special program was planned
in connection with the visit of the
inspection officer, who had shown a
disposition to help the company in
various unselfsh ways during the
Lakeview encampment.
The company made their drill per-
iod short in order to give more time
for little spread at K. P. hall, to
which the lieutenant was invited.
After the discussion of the yiands,
Capt. Hingeley arose in his seat and
on behalf of the company said some
things about the guest of the even
ing that were a little confusing to a
modest soldier, the remarks leading
up to the presentation of a handsome
bride and engraved breastplate for
the lieutenant's military mount. The
lieutenant rallied after the first sur.
prise over the demonstration, and
managed to convince the boys that
he was pleased by the spirit shown
towards him as we'll as the gift, anc
the boys showed their sentiments by
hearty cheers for their guest. Ser
geant Odekirk then followed with ;
few words Of comm endation of theil
guest on behalf of the men in the
ranks. The gift was made to ordel
of the best material and workman
ship procurable, and the breast-plate
has engraved upon it the following
words: Presented to Lieut.. |. D
Parker Aug. 18th, 1908, by L com
pany." The date is explained by tn,
fact that the lieutenant had been ex
pected here the previous week.
