So good an authority as the demo-
cratic Yankton Herald says: THE
Herald notes that several democratic
papers Of the state are disposed to be
critical of the primary law and the
secretary of state, because of the pre-
dicament in which the state democrat
ic organization finds itself in as re-
CARDS the state ticket. We believe
this is unjust. While undoubtedly the
primary has it's faults, the democrats
themselves are responsible for their
present trouble and should not attempt
to pass blame on anyone else.

Just to keep the record straight, let
II be stated that references to Andrew
r. Lee as a former democratic COVER
nor of South Dakota are incorrect and
misleading. Both in 1896 and 1898
Mr.. Lee was elected governor as a
populist. the democrats having simply
endorsed him.

The De Smet Independent thus sizes

either for governor, or for the senate.

would never have allowed his name

AS usual the democrats played the
game without knowing that there was
a Joker in the pack. Honest Andy"
should now come forward and tell how
to continue the battle. He bossed the
job at the late convention; and as the
only real live democrat on the South
Dakota map he should be able to fix
matters SO as to dispel the dark clouds

Some Of the democratic newspapers
of the state are really amusing when
they term criticism of a public docu-
ment ,"personal abuse" and bitter
personal attacks" Public documents
r subject to criticism and such criti-
cism cannot honestly be regarded as
a personal attack upon the writer's of
the documents.

Interest on $4,000 Forward
ed to State Official Cannot
Be Secured and State Gets
Benefit.
MONEY Is ASKED BEFORE
TIME OF SETTLEMENT.
All Counties in State Have
Been Requested to Forward
Money as May InstaIIment
Of Taxes.

County Treasurer Myrick has sent a
check for $2n."oo to the state treasurer.
This is in partial compliance with the
order Of the state treasurer for the
amount of state funds due the state
from Wayne county as the May INSTALL
ment of taxes. The state treasurer
asked for S:}nW0. Treasurer Myricil
deemed this a little too much in view
of the fact there is some doubt of the
right of the stale To ask for any Of this
money previous 10 the semi-annual
settlement time which is in July. The
payment means severe loss To the
county in case il be held by the attor-
uey-general and other attorneys who
nave the matter under advisement. that
the county is entitled to retain the en-
tire sum until settlement time. In
terest on S2ntalu would look Just "a
good in the treasury Of the county as
il will in that of the state.
The state treasurer has substituted
demands To all county treasurers ask
ing for settlement. In Marion COun-
~ the treasurer is Nng the request
at present and has refused To settle.
1t is believed by some legal authorities
the new depository law ohviates the
necessity for the May settlement which
has been customary since i>il. This
latter law gave the state treasurer the
right to demand the payment of funds
by county treasurers at any time II
is held that the depository law repoaIs
the act of 1861. The depositary law
provides for semi-annuaI settlements
January l and July l. If the county
treasurers are permitted to retain pos
session of The tax money until July I.
it will mean practically two months in-
terest to the counties. If it must be
paid TO the state treasurer on demand.
ii means the loss of this interest To the
county and IFS gain by the state. II
the state treasurer can enforce his de-
mand in every county in the state IL
means saving OF about S:tWp per
month in interest TO the state.
II is because OF the question Of right
that County Treasurer Myrick has held
up the payment Of one-third Of the sum
asked for by the state treasurer. Ma
rion county officials are leading the
fight against the state treasurer in ia
vOr of the retention of the funds by The
counties. Marion county has been
asked for an installment of $1UUOGo.

his return. He was then sentenced
to five months term in the Columbus

voted to bar the canteeus from the ma

time the OnSWeeping temperance Senti-
ment of the country found vent in the
national law-making branch and the
exciting proceedings of the afternoon.
followed by a vote of nearly four TO
one against the liquor traffic, showed
that congress is in tune with popular
opinion on this subject
The climax of emotion was reached
when Representative Landis of Indi-
ana closed the argument against the
Canteen. He was in fine form and
spoke to full benches and crowded gal
lCries. His eXcOriatiOn Of the whisky
and brewing interests evoked applause.
He charged that the liquor interests
have been impudent and defiant and
by their brazen conduct and studied in
science have brought on a revolution of
popular sentiment.
Il expect to live TO see the day" he
continued. when there will not be a
saloon in the Unied States"
Under the inspiration of that senti-
ment members found it impossible TO

That Mrs Guinness was a woman
versatile in crime, who evidently
stopped at nothing in finding victims
that she might afterWard Kill them,
and that she may have conspired to
find safety in flight at the same time
leaving evidence which might be con-
Sidered indisputable as TO the fate of
herself and children, is within the
range Of possibility. though this the
ory is not given much credence by
Sheriff Smutzer, Prosecutor Smith
and Coroner Mack
In the opinion of many. however,
four bodies were shipped to the home
of Mrs. Guinness and placed in the
cellar, where they were found in their
charred condition. after she had burn
