THE TRUTH OF HISTORY.

While it is not the policy of this
paper to engage in post mortem dis
cussions of last years birds nests, it
is an important part of newspaper
work to vindicate the truth of current
history.
Under the caption, "Kittredge plan
becomes part of the platform" the
Aberdeen News says:
"This is almost the exact language
used by Senator Kittredge when he
fought in the senate for the passage
of measure now embodied as plank
of the platform adopted by the repub-
lican party. Trades unionists through
out the country appreciated Senator
Kittredge's efforts and did not hesi-
tate to say so. The action of the con
vention in adopting this plank is a
great victory for Senator kittredge
and emphasizes the loss the country
and state will sustain through his
defeat at the recent primaries.
If this is intended for subterfuge it
needs only to be properly labeled, but
| if it is serious attempt to pervert
and falsify history, against future
contingencies, now is the best time to
explode it.
Senator Kittredge, as defeated
candidate, would be immune from
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-07-03
UNFAIR TO THE STALWARTS.

The Huron Huronite says:
"The Pierre Capital thinks that
Burke would make a good senator and
he would, but just remember. boys.
that Kittredge is the strongest man in
the republican ranks today. He polled
more republican votes than Crawford,
more than Burke and more than Mar
tin. Burke is all right and he may
be a United States senator from this
state, but it is not yet time to count
the Sioux Falls man out of the game.
Wait until after the Legislature adj
journs and the smoke of battle rolls
away"
This will not particularly interest
Governor Crawford. But it should
attract the attention of stalwart nomi
nees for the legislature. If there is
much of such talk, the good faith of
every stalwart candidate for the legis-
lature will be brought into question.
The stalwarts nominated for the as
sembly will of course suffer unjustly.
So far as The Press is concerned, it is
not prepared to believe men asking
seats in the body charged with the
duty of making laws, would them
selves be willing to violate law APP
proved by that body. If the Huronite
thinks they are capable of doing such
a thing, it will be disappointed. 1t is
not in any way jeopardizing Craw
ford's chances, but it is embarrassing
the republican nominees taken from
the faction with which it has profess
ed to affiliate Sioux Falls Press.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-07-03

criticism in this columns except such
as is provoked by the indiscretion of
his overzealous friends. But the facts
are that the senator's opposition to
the anti-injunction bill, prepared, in
troduced and pressed in congress by
the railway employees union, was a
potent factor in his recent defeat.
The Legislative agent of the union, in
a letter over his own signature, direct
ly charged Senator Kittredge with
holding the bill up in his COMMITTEES
refusing to report it either favorably
or adversely, although urged and
pressed to permit it to come before
the senate.
The progressive press of the state
has no disposition to wage warfare
against the defeated, but attempts by
his apologists TO whitewash the sena-
tors record, as an unvarying cham
pion of the corporations against their
employees, will only result in piliBg
up additional proof of his subservieney
and in turning the searchlight on that
record We have no desire to be uu.
fair even toward Senator Kittredge.

IT is difficult for South Dakota,
which is running bankful with pros
perity, to realize that much of the
east is keenly suffering from hard
times. A personal letter to the editor
from New York City tells of a want
ad recently inserted in paper of
that city asking for a driver at $40
per week, The advertisement was
answered by over 700 men the next
day, and the police had to be called
in to put a stop to the desperate riot
which resulted among the poor fell
lows who were anxious for the job

The vacancy in our congressional
delegation caused by the death of
Congressman Parker has already set
the politicians to specializing as to
who shall be nominated. The vacancy
must be filled by special election,
which could be called for the same
time and place as the general election
in November But TO make party
nominations will compel a resort to
another primary election, which is an
expensive affair for just one nomina-
tion to be made A correspondent to
the Argus Leader suggests that, to
ally factional feeling in .he party, the
two factions agree to give the place
to the stalwart candidate receiving the
highest vote at the recent primary.
That would simply settle the matter
by one side giving up to the other.
The INDEPENDENT would suggest that
no party nominations be made, but
let as many as care to enter the race
for the vacancy have their names plac-
ed on the ballot by petition.

WE see much in the papers these
days about plans proposed by retail
liquor dealers associations for better
ing and enforcing the lisense laws.
Why didn't they get good before9
The brewers and the retailers are
largely responsible for the present
crusade against their interests be-
cause of their infringement of the
laws in the past. They are too late
in their desire for reform.

SO far ignored the order of the board

The supreme court has handed
down a decision in the Woonsocket
license case in which it held that to
allow the issuance of liquor license
in town requires a majority of all the
votes in the town.
In Woonsocket with vote of 275
with 1877 cast for license, and 1876
against license, the court holds that
license did not carry. A legal license
requires majority of the total vote
of the town to carry.

Humorous Side of Graft

Few persons would suppose that graft has humorous side, but it certainly has in Boston, except for the taxpty- CTS, and they were never given credit for having very highly developed sense of humor. The new mayor of New England s capital has been con. ducting municipal housecleaning with results that have proved startling. An investigation of the city pay roll has disclosed the presence of "tree climb CTS" in the sewer department, boat. men and swimmers in the school de- partment, and "sailors calkers and shipwrights in the street cleaning de- partment.
 Chicago was convulsed last summer to find that men were being carried on the city pay roll ostensibly as "snow shovelcrs, but not even municipal cor rnption in Chicago ever produced any thing like "boatmen in tho school department. Besides such sinecures as these the "inspectoryof cuspidors in a western city was much overworked man.-Rochester Democrat and Chron- iele

peuver's Climate Against oratory

One thing about Denver we have overlooked, and it is gratifying to re- call 1t. There cannot be much oratory in the Centennial State e's metropolis be- cause the climate is against it. Denver is just mile above the level of the sea and it rejoices us to hear from a scientific friend of ours that when an outsider starts on long winded speech he loses his breath in abou tive min utes and has to put in the next five hours catching it.
 When Denver was chosen as the place for the Democratic convention we said a lot of things against it; we said it was too small, too far away, and made other criticisms. We take all of them back. Denver is good place for a convention. There will be no frothy speeches of the kind that Bryan deliv' ers--the speeches that empty-headed folk admire so much Those silver tongued orators who always are hui sances in conventions can only sit still and make signs.--New York Telegraph

 NEAR HIGH FIGURE.

NEW YORK, April 24.--A further substantial rise in prices occurred on the stock market today and the volume of bushes at the same time expanded materially. The failure of an important stock exchange house was announced at the outset of trading and offered an interruption in the advance, and, in fact, furthered it, owing to the large outstanding short contracts which re- mained to be recovered for the account of the failed house, which was noted for it's espousal of the bear side of the market for many months past. Tho suspension is pronounced the most i'm portant bear failure which has occurred for years. There were some heavy GOV. erings in steel, but the stock held back during all the early part of the session and rose fractionally over last night only late in tn day. The rise in Steel stocks, though small, was sufficient to establish for them new high levels for the year. Union Pacific continued a conspicuous leader in the advance and also rose to new high level. Prices ad- vaneed and closed generally near the highest. Bonds were strong
