IT is perfectly proper for temper
ance man to oppose candidate for a
municipal Office for the reason that
such candidate favors the licensing of
the liquor business. But it occurs to
us as ridiculous that man opposing
such candidate because of principle
can favor the reelection Of A. B.
Kittredge to the senate when he SO
recently disposed of his stock in the
Sioux Falls Mailing Go. Now, the
malster, the brewer, and the retailer
are the three steps in the booze busi-
ness. The business cannot be carried
on without either one or all three.
The malster is the first step; without
him there can be no beer. His pro-
duct goes into beer and can go into
nothing else. The brewer depends
upon the malster as much as upon the
retailer. 1t is no excuse to say that a
mau only owns stock in a corporation
engaged in certain business, and
that he is not engaged in it personal
ly. Every stakeholder in concern
is morally responsible for the evil
produced by the corporation of which
he is part. A stockholder in a malt
ing company is no different morally
than the brewer, and the brewer is no
different from the retailer. The whole
bunch are engaged in the business for
the money that can be accumulated

HAD not the editorial fraternity
long ago discovered that our dear
brother, Charles Day of the Argus l.
has not fiber of logic in his mental
makeup, they would surely laugh at
the recent item in reference to the
mayorality contest in Watertown.
Day says the result was reversal of
the recent progressive victory and de-
clares that the Stalwarts won it.
Let us see, if our memory serves us
right, he means that the Stalwarts
elected, according to Mr.. Day, man
who is an ex democratic candidate for
Governor, and who is still considered
one of the best of Bourbon democrats.
We wonder if Day means that if the
Progressives win at the June primary
that the Stalwarts will turn demo
cratic and have Stalwart victory in
November, by electing democratic
state candidates.
1t is not likely that would hurt Mr..
Days feelings or violate his political
convictions after his life time of train
ing as a democratic Editor. Redfeld

through it, The malster has just as
many widows tears and barefoot
orphans charged to his account as it
is popular to attribute to the poor cuss
who stands behind the bar and takes
the cussing of the community with
out the satisfaction of getting rich like
his two brothers. A man who honest
ly opposed a license man for mayor
from principle cannot honestly sup
port malster for the u. S. senate.

IT was at one time considered that
the senate, composed of long term
members, was the safety device of
our form of government against rash
legislation which might originate in
the house where the members were
more likely to be governed by popu-
lar prejudice, or play to the gallaries
for effect on their constituents at
home. But times have changed. The
senate has become the "mIllionaire' S
club" the watch dog of especial in,
terests," and, now it is the house of
representatives, those men who are
in touch with public sentiment who
are the guardians of the people. This
was conclusively proved when the
house committee on banking unani-
mously reported unfavorably upon
the Aldrich- llison railroad -emergen-
cy-currency bill. The house com
mittee regarded the senate bill as a
Financial abortion" and quietly put
it to sleep. The representatives heard
from the people, the bill was unpopu-
lar with the masses as it was calcu-
lated by its authors to be in the in
terests of the few. 1t was the pro-
test of the people through their con-
gressmen that accomplished the re-
suit.
