of the federal court in granting a re-
straining order against the authorities
of the state of Arkansas and prevent
ing them from enforcing the reduc-
tion of passenger rates to 2 cents per
mile may be we'll grounded. The

the west the great bulk of the traffic,

terstate character and not under the
jurisdiction of the state 1t puts a
spike. in one of the main guns Mr..
Bryan is using, that of the supreme
right Of the individual state in such
matters. The republican policy of
federal control is the only solution
of the problem. Mr.. Bryan knows
this, and his policy is only advocated
for the purpose of relieving himself
of any action along this line in the
event that he should be
elected.

Mr.. Bryan delivered speech at
Chicago on Labor Day which was a
masterpiece of himh I'M. His dicus
sion of the democratic and republican
platforms was mainly upon the points
which, it is claimed, effect labor. The
injunction plank is Mr. Bryan's ace
card when addressing the laboring
men. He dwelt to some length upon
this. That part of the democratic
platform reads as follows:
'Injunctions shall not be issued in
any cases in which injunctions would
not issue if no industrial dispute were
involved"
Certainly not, And njunctions are
not now issued in cases where indus
trial disputes are involved, which
would not issue if the same conditions
existed without industrial disputes.
The injunction against ''picketing" is
one of the things labor condemns.
''Picketing" by strickers consists in
placing men at certain points to either
persuade or intimidate non striking
workmen, or to induce the public to
withhold its patronage from the OBJ
ject of the strikers wrath In any
way you put it the object is to inter
fere with the business of the concern
against which the strike is directed.
If this were not true, strikers would
save themselves the trouble of "pick-
citing" Does anyone doubt for a
moment that an INDUCTION could not
be secured under such conditions if
the act was by man, or set of men,
who were not identified with labor
union, or an industrial dispute2 There
is absolutely nothing to either plat
form which will materially change
the law relative to iniunctions. And
there should be no material change in
In the law. If there is wrong COM
mitted against labor through injunc-
tions, it is because OF the willingness
OF some court to misapply the law.
This INDUCTION talk is all for the pur-
pose of flimfaming the labor vote.
The law doesn't need as much doctor
ing as those who are charged with
the duty of applying it.

regular democratic head on the off
cial ballots, is Knockout blow fol
the Bryanized democracy.
But they received no more than
they deserved. The democrats were
playing what they considered very
"foxy" game, and simply got caught
in their own trap.
Instead of submitting complete
ticket at the June primaries, they
presented candidates for only few
of the offices. This was done with
malice aforethought and for the sole
purpose of enabling them to be in a
position to take advantage of any
republican mistakes when they met
in the Rapid City convention to fill
the remainder of their ticket.
This course was followed, notwith
standing that the slate primary law
clearly states just what nominations
can legally be made at a state con
vention.
Under the decision of the state
supreme court the names of the nomi-
nees of the RAPID City convention
now will have to be printed in a
column separate from that part OF
the democratic ticket which was nomi-
mated in the June primaries.
This cannot do otherwise than
cause great confusion among demo
cratic voters, and doubtless will re
suit in the democrats losing thous-
and- of voters, so far, at least, as a
part of their congressional and state
ticket is concerned.
The democrats invariably trail
along after the republicans in plac-
ing tickets before the voters, but in
this instance their attempted sharp
practice resulted to their own injury
as it should have They were the
first to declare as party in South
Dakota for primary election law,
and now they are the first to attempt
to ignore the provisions of the law

The first election of the year, in
Vermont, resulted in a republican
plurality of $4,000. Ia 1874, when
Cleveland won, the republican ma
jority in the Vermont September cleo
tion gave the republicans only 1865
and in that year Cleveland won again.
In the years when republican presi-
dent was elected, the September re-
publican majority in Vermont was as
follows: 1888, 2S,6l8; 1896, $780,;
1900, 29,783; and 1904, 1868. In
view Of this record, the vote cast in
Vermont Tuesday indicates repub-
lican triumph, in the nation at large.
The Vermont vote of course is only a
straw, but its fluctuations have con-
stituted fairly accurate political
barometer. Sioux Falls Press.

The great manufacturing centers of
the country are hostile to Bryan, dis
gruntled with Roosevelt and suspi-
cious of Taft. Undvr these conditions
the result in November may we'll be
considered doubtful. The west is
strong for Taft and idolizes Roosevelt,
but in the east the president is not
popular, and his policies are not be-
lieved in. This makes it hard for
Taft.-Huronite
The progressive republicans insist
ed during the primary campaign that
the old machine were supporting Taft
because they thought it the band
wagon, and not because they believed
in Roosevelt doctrines or that Taft's
nomination would be the best thing
for the republican party. The above
is from one of the blown in the bottle"
machine papers and expresses the ture
stalwart idea of Roosevelt and Taft,
which could hardly have changed
from what it was in the campaign.

THE old machine papers in this
state are realizing considerable salts
faction from the attitude of Mr.. Taft
upon the question of guaranteeing
bank deposits, which the republican
party of this state Incorporated in its
platform. Mr.. Taft is opposed to the
proposition and has been foolish
enough TO advance some arguments
that hardly seem worthy of a man
aspiring to the high position to which
he aspires. In our opinion Mr.. Taft
is making almost as great blunder
in his stand and argument as is his
opponent Mr.. Bryan upon the matter
of federalregulation of railroads. Each
opposes a principle advanced, or ap-
proved, by the other, although Mr..
Bryan is not to be credited with origi-
mating the idea of the guaranty of
bank deposits. Both these principles
are favored by great number of the
people of this country without regard
to opolities, and each candidate is show
ing himself to be partisan, or without
ability to properly grasp some sub
jects. The position of each is purely
political. Each party will be glad to
adopt the principle in now opposes as
soon as it becomes convinced that it
is popular enough to draw votes
