THE DEADLY HOUSE FLY.

1t is one of the strange things in
nature that every highly organized
form of animal life must continually
fight for It's existence, and is as con-
tinually in danger of determination
by some other species. Man has al
ways had to fight for the preserva-
ton of his kind, and puny as he is
in strength he has had to use his
wits to aid him. Once 1t was the big,
fierce creatures of the forest and
jungle-animals many times his size
and incomparably greater in
strength, which he fought. Now it
is different All he fights now are
germs and flies and mosquitoes and
other insect carriers of those germs.
1t is the house fly toward which
mans attention is directed at this
immediate time He has studied the
mosquito scientifically, seriously and
thoroughly and knows just how many
people each mosquito Is capable of
destroying, just how long he lives
and how many members there are in.
his family. And the study, while it
hasn't materially affected the census

brought about means Of shutting the
mosquito out of fight Now science
is busy about the fly 1t has been
determined by scientific investiga-
ton, and reported to Governor
Hughes of New York by the Mer-
chants association of New York,
that the great prevalence of typhoid
fever and the many forms of intes-
final ailments during the summer
are due entirely to the house fly. 1t
is from such complaints that a
greater number of deaths occur in
all North American cities than from
yellow fever and malarial ailments
which are transmitted by the mos
quito, hence the danger from the
fly becomes greater than from the
mosquito. 1t has also been determin-
ed that one fly is capable of carry

male fly during the summer is the
progenitor of twelve generations
and that each female lays I 900 eggs
in the course of her short life.

that when one fly crop gets started

til cold weather freezes them out.

POOR REASONING

1t is generally conceded that if Mr..
Crawford is not successful in his can
didacy for a higher position that he
will again become the salaried at
torney for the North Western railway.
If there was a real desire TO progress"
and reform the state, he would
have been a candidate for governor
again.-Lake Preston Times.
BY what method of reasoning can
YOU hope to make the intelligent voter
beliye such argument. The people OF
this state elected Governor Crawford
and backed him win a legislature for
the purpose of compelling corporations
pay their just proportion OF the taxes,
to enact a primary election law and
other measures. which for several
years previous TO the last session of
the state legislature. had been denied
the people.
Every pledge made by the Republic
car party two years ago has been
fulfilled. Governor Crawford having
made good and manfully fought inch
by inch in the peoples behalf against
the corporation ring, burn the books
clique which ruled the Republican par
ty for ten years. has a perfect right
to aspire to higher hOnors within the
gift Of the people especially when he
has been victorious and more especi-
ally when the Progressive Republicans
have chosen as clean and capable man
as R. 5. Vesey to fill the position now
held by Coe l. Crawford, under whose
administration the progress already
made is bound to advance.
On the other hand to vote for the
reelection of Senator Kittredge is
to say that there We're no issues two
years ago-it will be to say that the
railroads and other corporate interests
had a right to escape taXation-that
the private citizen ought to bear all
the burden of taxation-it will be to
cast a vote against harmony among
the representatives OF this state in
the halls Of congress-it will be to
say that there has been no railroad
lobby, no corporate ring rule and
no suppression of the peoples demand
for progression as advocated by Presl-
dent Roosevelt.
Governor Crawford is now fighting
as he has been during the past tour
years, for justice to the whole people
He is in perfect harmony with Presl-
dent Roosevelt's policies and with Coe
I. Crawford and r. J. Gamble IN the
Senate and Philo Hall Ind W. .

South Dakota will have a delegation
equal to any state in the Union lor
