The Willow Lakes News thus
comments upon the recent speech
made at Willow Lakes by Andrew

dress with mass of figures taken
from congressional records and
state auditor reports that would
denote that the country is going to
the dogs if the democrats are not
returned to poWer...... In COM
parison of prices the said that it
cost Al per cent more to build q
house in 1905 than it did in 1895.
Now eve do not think that Mr.. Lee
put it hardly strong enough, as
the writer remembers measuring
and loading onto cars the entire
output of a saw mill in 1896 TO!
which the owner received the mag
niicient sum Of 81 per Thousand
feet. We also remember that tho
men who cut the lumber received
S13 per month. Wheat was worth
SO cents per hushel, corn Is cents
barley 20 cents and other product
in proportion. Yes, those wer
good old democratic times, ant
Mr.. Lee did not have to draw very
heavily upon his imagination il
making a comparison between 1879
and the present time. .Altogethe
we were rather disappointed in tn
ex-governor, as his address wa
rather tiresome, and a large po1
ton of his audience left before h
had finished his remarks.''

DEMOCRATIC "CYCLONE'
ORATORS

Isn't it funny that the democrats
always have on the stump in nearly
every campaign in South Dakota
orators who have some fancy title,
such as the magnolia Orator." or
the "cyclone" this or that, etc?
In the 1900 campaign it was
Cyclone Davis, an imported
spell binder from Texas, who was
expected to single handed and
alone stem the rising tide Of repub-
licanism, which at the election in
November of that year swept the
conglomeration of populists, the
silver republicans, the men
ashamed of their country and the
other elements, all fused into one
political army, off the political
platter.
In subsequent campaigns ICY
clone Smith, the Terror from
Old Kaintuck, was sent thru South
Dakota by the democrats to wipe
the republicans off the political
map. ].
This year Cyclone Jones, a
funny man recently imported from
Texas, has been turned loose by
the democrats to prey upon the re-
publicans Of the state and "eat' EN-
up alive.
However, the republicans are not
worrying about the effect these
cyclonic orators have upon the svot-
|ers, as each campaign that the
democrats have utilized the services
Of these wonderful cyclonic orators
the republican plurality has been
larger than the previous election.
The same percentage of license,
lsif Cyclone Jones can be pre-
vailed upon to continue Grating
until election, should on Nov.
give the republ icans a plurali y.of
/ anywhere from 40, 900 to so, 900.
But it is feared by the republic
cans that Cyclone. Jones, supply
lof wind and adjectives will rune out
before election, in which event the
Irepubl icans will have to be salts
fled with q plurality Of from &c, 900
| to Sc, 900.

purposes.

RAILROADS AND EMPRESS.


The announcement is made that
the Chicago. Milwaukee K St Paul
Railroad CO. intends to transact its
own express business on its new line
from Evarts, S. d.. TO the Pacific
coast. At present the United States
Express Co. has the monopoly of the
express business over the road 5 main
system, but the contract can be alb
rogated in. 60 or 90 days.
We would be glad to see in this
one act an indication of radical
change of policy ON the part of the
American railroads. The charge for
the transportation of small packages
in America is extortionate. The rail-
roads of Europe serve their patrons
far better in this respect than the
railroads of America have ever done.
The postoffiees of the benighted mon
arches of the European continent
are far more considerate of the ne
cessities of their patrons than the
postoffice department of the United
States.
Otherwise we would have had
cheap and prompt transportation of
small packages by the railroads and
cheap and prompter transportation OF
small packages through the parcels
post.
In the past one Or two railroad
systems have undertaken to do their
own express business. but they have
to do it under a scpa-
rate organization in which many of
their managers were directly inter
ested After a time that system was
abandoned.

tatives of all that Secretary Taft
stands for in the United States.
Mr.. Burton will leave Washington

Since 1s97-Strange Exhib-
it's in Court.

OSHKOSH, Wis. May 12.-tSpe-
cial. 1.-The affirmation of the supreme
court of the findings of the lower court
in the divorce proceedings of Mrs. Su-
sauna Sanders versus Albert T. Sanders,
residents of Winnebago county, has put
an end to litigation in a unique case. The
couple were married in 1897 and lived
together for two months when they sep
arated. Since that time they have spent
the greater part of that time in endeavor-
ing to secure Il divorce. After they sep
arated they lived upon their individual
farms in the town Of Utica.
In the final case, a number OF inter
esting exhibits were introduced to show
that Mr. Sanders did not consent to liv-
ing apart from his wife. They were in
the nature of letters and communications
and some of them were newspaper clip
pings of cases in which man and Il
woman committed suicide rather than
face a divorce trial. Another exhibit con-
tanned an article by Ella Wheeler Wll-
cox entitled. Happiness in Married
Life Does Not Depend Upon the Ages of
tie Couples" There is another. hi
morous article, entitled, 'The Widow"
which states among other things. that
the "Widows are held in such est>em
that an artificial species is cultivated,
called straw or grass widows, from 1heir
habits of making hay while the sun

poet and wrote several humorous and

MANN HITSPUBLISHERS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12.-
In connection with the wood pulp tariff
investigation, Chairman Mann of the
House committee having the matter in
charge, today made a sharp complaint
of the failure of the newspaper publish
ers to come forward and supply the com
mittee with facts bearing upon their
charges. He called attention to their
criticism and then contrasted them with
the refusal of many of them to supply
the information which he said it was
necessary the committee should have In
preparing it's report to the House. He
declared it to be the desire of the com
mittee to report during this session, but
intimated that the course of the publish
ers might prevent it's doing so.
John Norris, the representative of the
publishers association, called attention
to the statement in a census bulletin
showing that of forty-one industries
named the paper workers were the only
ones whose pay had been reduced in
1906 as compared with 1905. He also
produced letter from Senator La Fol-
iette bearing upon the pay of labor i'll
the paper and pulp mills of Wisconsin.
Il am expecting" continued Mr.. Nor
ris. "a report for the last six months
which | understand will show a reduc-
ton of pay as result of the depression
in the industry in Wisconsin and a re-
duction OF the time employed by reason
of the closing of the mills, the mills be-
ing closed to maintain a purely artificial
