TOO JEALOUS FOR FINANCIAL
 SUCCESS.

It is in no spirit of carping criti- cism that we voice a prevailing and spreading impression that the fair management in its zeal for the finan- cial success of the rair is making a mistake which future fairs will feel There is a good deal of complaint against the new rule requiring an admission fee for vehicles for which it seems difficult to offer any satis- factory excuse
 Though people will cheerfully pay admission for themselves and per haps would as cheerfully pay more it seems to them like a waste of money to pay for a horse which will take no interest in the proceedings and will not be edified or improved by anything he may see. The com plaints have so far come from tax payers, who say they do not be- grudge their share of the taxes for the fair appropriation; they are even glad to turn in their admission con- tributions, but that there is some thing repugnant in having to pay for a vehicle. They are required to use vehicles to get to the fair grounds; there is no place outside where they may be left but there is an abundance of room inside for which there is no other use.
 Some of the complainants go so far as to say that while they will not oppose further and even more liberal appropriations for the fair, they will ask that they be hedged about by a condition which will prevent such ar bitrary charges as that of which they now complain.
 Another cause of grievance was the fireworks display which drew hun dreds of visitors to the grounds last night The complainants in this count are the merchants, many of whom have been liberal contributors to supplemental funds to promote the success of the fair, expecting, of course, that they would receive in return some advantage from the crowds which would be attracted. They say that the fireworks display might just as well have been given down town; more people would have been given an opportunity to enjoy it Beside, many would have been given a chance to visit the stores which are deprived of their presence in the day time by the attractions at the fair.
 For a further cause of complaint, neglect is alleged. It was widely advertised that all information re- garding rooms could be had on which has been closed at nights so that to those arriving on late trains such information was not available. Beside, a great many people who come to town want to visit the board of trade and we would be glad to have them see it for the display there is one to be proud of, but our guests can not be there and at the fair both, in the day time.
 With these few exceptions no fault is to be found with the fair manage ment and with these few remarks, we have nothing but the warmest praise for it.

Thursday, February n, 1908.

1t is estimated that the expense Of
the Crawford campaign committee
up TO the June primaries will fall
not short OF 100000. Crawford
and his friends have purchased the
Sioux Falls Press, Huron Journal
World, Howard Spirit and Water
town Public Opinion in order to
secure or maintain political control
of these publications. Anybody who
wants a daily or weekly insurgeni
paper has only to write to the Craw.
ford headquarters and his wants will
be filed, accompanied by a letter
stating "that we are paying Tor thess
papers, so you need have no hesi-
fancy in taking them from the office"
Speakers, under salary, are travelling
through the state expounding lnsur.
gent doctrines. Letters, speeches,
resolutions, etc. are being mailed
daily to nearly every voter in the
state, for it is cold day when
Richards does not promulgate reso-
lutions passed by some of his imag
mary leagues. This all takes money
and naturally the question arises
where do thsy get itS Holding all
the state offices, an assessment on
each would account for part of it..
II. O. Richards, manager for Craw
ford, is wealthy man and close to
the immigration commissioner and
can be put down as liberal contrib
utor. A leading insurance company
has put It's South Dakota general
agent on the stump and contributes
its share, as does the Northwestern
railroad. State Treasurer Cassil is
making $4,000 year out of receiv-
ing the interest on the peoples
money and gets $500 per year as
salary as vice president Of one OF the
hanks wherein he makes state depos-
its and consequently can afford to
contribuse handsomely to retain his
snap for another two years. Add to
this the contribution of the lumber
trust which aas decided that Senator
Kittredge must be defeated. These
are the main sources of the Craw-
ford campaign fund and the question
Of -where do they get it, is naturally
followed by "why do they get itY'

The Reporter and Farmer claim
the taxes are higher than ever in
Day county. Why shouldn't they
be when the boss gives the sheriff
80 per cent for collecting them.
Waubay Clipper.
Every school boy, except the
writer of the above, knows the sheriff
has no authority to collect any but
delinquent taxes, and it is a great
hardship on the honest tax payer to
have delinquent taxes collected. But
how should he know, never having
paid cent of taxes in Day county.
However the boy must earn his

1t is really pitiful to witness the

Here are few items which the
Aberdeen News desired Crawford
to explain in the course of his
speech at Aberdeen, but which the
governor prudently ignored:
Why the banker state board of
assessment of which he is a member
reduced the assessment OF banks
while increasing the assessment of
farm lands.
Also why he, great constitutional
lawyer, lobbied for and approved
the food and dairy law which was
SO ridiculous and befuddled that the
supreme court took shot at it and
there was nothing left but the
feathers the salary for the
commissioner and his subordinates.
Also how he planned to fulfill his
oath as homestead entryman in
Walworth county while practicing
law and living with his family at
Huron.
Also why he felt justified in Undue
ing young men to violate the land
laws of the United States so that
undesirable Russians" might be
kept away from his ranch in the
same county-this being his own
explanation to an officer of the
United States.
How many days he has spent at
the state capital since the Legislature
adjourned, and why he has made the
people pay his hotel bills while
sojourning in that city.
The necessity of the closed
door" in the executive Office.
Why he finds it necessary to have
a resident of another state for his
private secretary.
Why he charges his hotel bills to
the people while stumping the state
for the senatorship.
Why his old client, the North
western railroad, is assessed about
ST. 900 mile west of Pierre while
the Milwaukee road with less valu-
able road is assessed at $4 900 a
mile.
Why his food and dairy commits
sioner expects the railroads to pay
his expenses while on trips advocat
ing higher rates for the transporta-
ton of cream.
Why he urged two members Of
legislature from Brown county to
vote against the pending two cent
mileage bill.
Why he Elegantly violated the anti
lobby law before the ink on his
approval of it had time to dry.
Why he bullied and threatened
members of the Legislature in sup.
port of or opposition to pending
measures.
| Why he encourages every state
officer to absent himself from his
duties at the capital and to put il
his time working politics.
| Why State Treasurer Cassil il
paid So, 500 year by Sioux Fails
bank for-the performance Of no per
sonal duties.
These are only few Of the thing
Mr.. Crawford should explain, and
conclude by giving the formula TO
the dip" that transformed him il
the twinkle of an eye from salariet
corporation lobbyist to a corpora
ton buster with an inordinate appe
tite for offices.
