vice, at least. We refer TO the forced
retirement of Senator Foraker, of
Ohio, which now seems sure to take
place. Hearst has exposed the fact
that Foraker received money from the
Standard Oil Co. since he went to
the senate. Foraker admits it, but
attempts to explain it away by saying
that it was for fees in matters in
which he represented the Standard in
litigation in the State Of Ohio. This
might be true, but some of the letters
are addressed to s'My Dear Senator,
conveying certificate of deposit, very
unusual way of paying accounts, and
the statement that certain legislation
then pending in the U. S. senate was
very bad. Foraker may not be as
guilty as Hearst would make it APP

and the man under such suspicion is
not popular in these days even in the
state of Ohio. Foraker has been one
of the trust supporters and the public

Our democratic friends are fond of
| mentioning their gubernatorial candi
date as Honest" Andy Lee OF
course, why shouldn't he be honest?
Is there anything particularly striking
about it? Or is it so unusual for
them to have a candidate of such
personal qualifications that they must
needs call particular attention to the
fact? Andy didn't walk away with
the state house under his arm, nor
with the treasury in his pocket at the
expiration of his term in 1901 But
the fact that he didn't turn out to be a
rascal is no argument for his election
to the governorship in state where
there are a few hundred thousand
people just as honest as Andy. IF we
remember correctly, Andy's mantle of
honesty did not descend upon some Of
his appointees; at least there was
scandal at the time concerning one or
two Of them. Such honesty as Andy
possesses is too common a virtue to
entitle him to any special considera-
tion.

Mr.. Farmer, will you believe them

Is it true that the republican party
of South Dakota has made promises
and failed to keep thems
Let us see what the record discloses.
In the campaign of two years ago the
republican party of the state, as at
present constituted, stood for various
reforms which the people were de-
manding.
Among the reforms demanded was a
primary election law. Among the
first measures enacted by the republi-
can majority in the Legislature of 1907
was the present primary election law,
which in general has successfully stood
the strain of two severe tests. The
tests have demonstrated where in
minor particulars the laws can be i'm

validate them. Experience has shown
the judiciary gives the railroads all
the advantage of doubt. If there are
confiscatory laws, the railroads need
not waste SO much printers ink de-
nouncing them IAN action in any
court would end them.
If the railroads are suffering for
lack of capital with which to improve
their lines or their equipment, it is
either because their rates are made
confiscatory by Legislation or because
stock and bond issues must be APP
proved by government agency. II
the court says the railroad rates are
not confscatory, then investors should
have no fear least they are. AS for
supervision of stock and bond issue.
the New York public service COM
mission few months ago gave official
approval to bond issue by a rail
road and it was Immediately oversub-
scribed many times. The fact is that
the endorsement of commission will
at any time add to the STABILITY of
stocks and bonds, for it is equivalent
to government guaranty OF their
worth. If the railroad managers were
governed by enlightened self-interest,
instead of the instincts ofpirates, they
would welcome government regulation
as the most certain method of obtain
ing any capital really needed for per-
manent improvements. Sioux Falls

POOR SCARECROW.

An unsigned article in Appleton
magazine. presumably written by E.
HI. Hartman or j. J. Hill, makes a
further effort to frighten the public
into submission to railroad rule.
Ii is asserted in this screed that
"two hundred confscatory laws" have
been passed inthe United States with
in the past year and that in the face
of these it is impossible for the roads
to raise S5,000,00O,000 which it is de.
clared they will need in the next five
years to place the sportation busi-
ness of the country on the proper
basis.
Oh, piffle! Oh, mush!
1t was discreet of the author of this
statement to make it anonymously.
Farmers know that it will not do to
erect weird, outlandish figure for
scarecrow the birds will know that
the thing is not human and refuse TO
be frightened by it.
So this wholesale indictment of the
Legislators of the country and this
bngaboo of disaster that is all in the
future, will appear simply ridiculous
to the careful observer. 1t shows the
railroads have no sufficient grounds
upon which to complain of the laws
with which they have been surround
ed
II confiscatory laws have been pass
ed, whether they number two or two
hundred, the courts will promptly in.

proved, and at the session of the legis
lature next winter the republican ma
jority in that bedy will add such
amendments to the laws as may be
deemed necessary to make it one o.
the best primary laws on the statute
books of any of the states.
The railroad Legislation enacted by
the republicans of South Dakota dur
in the Legislative session of 1907 plac
ed South Dakota in the front rank OF
states in reform legislation intended
to bring to an end railroad influence
and domination in the management OF
state affairs. The benefits of this
legislation cannot be overestimated
as all honest men will concede.
The 1907 Legislative session also car
ried out republican platform pledges
by enacting law providing for the as.
certainment of the true value of all
railroad property in South Dakota, SO
freight and passenger rates can be
equitably adjusted. Such an appraise-
ment now is being made under the di-
r, cton of the state board of railroad
commissioners. In the present cam
paign the republican party stands for
the carrying OF this work to a success
full conclusion.
When this physical valuation of all
railroad property within the border of
the state is completed, therecorGs can
be corrected from year to year by
annualreports which the railroads viii
be asked to furnish, so that in future
the records at any time will disclose
the exact value of the property within
the state of any railroad corporation
having lines in South Dakota,
These records will enable the state
Legislature, when enacting any adj
ditional railroad legislation, and the
state assessment board, to do exact
justice both to the railroads and the
people of the state.
Various other mertorious laws were
enacted by the republicans in the
Legislature of 1907, these in each in
stance being strictly in the interest of
the people of South Dakota. By so
scrupulously carrying out platform
pledges the republican party has won
the confidence of all thinking men
and has placed itself upon record as
standing for and as the champion OF
the plain people, and for the reforms
which they demand.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-09-25

Although much has been accom-
plished by the republican party of
South Dakota for the cause of the
people and along reform lines, the
party stands ready to write into the
statute books additional measures
which will result to the benefit of the
people of South Dakota.
New voters and others who are yet
in doubt as to which of the great par.
ties to support in the present cam
paign are earnestly urged to examine
the record of the republican party
with the most minute care and as
certain for themselves the reforms for
which the party in South Dakota stood
two years ago and which were enact
ed into law by the republican majority
in the Legislature of 1907, and the ad-
ditional reforms for which the party
stands in this campaign and is pledg-
eel to enact into law at the legislative
session next winter.
In the present campaign the party
stands for various measures which will
benefit the people. A study of the re-
publican state platform adopted at
the state convention, held at Mitchell
on July Ia, will disclose the nature of
these additional reforms
That these pledges will be fulfilled
with the same scrupulous care as the
platform pledges of two years ago
cannot be doubted.
The republican party of South Da-
kota stands for honesty in politics and
for the full performance of platform
pledges, and is entitled to the earnest
and active support of all voters who
have the best interests of their state
at heart.

The three leading properties or the
Seven Troughs mining district-the Ma
yuma Hills at Seven Troughs. the Seven
Troughs Fairview at Vernon ana the
Hero at Farrell-are simultaneously
making records never equalled here be-
fore. and conditions are of great signl-
dcance even to the most hopeful here.
To a record Of a half dozen success
siye shipments the Mazuma Hills adds
it's latest determination to ship regu-
larly 10 to II tons of high grade ore a
week to the railroad station at Love-
lock. and climaxes this with, the great

MINING NEWS OF SEVEN TR0UGHS

1t is one of a remarkable series of ore
bodies opened up in the Mazuma Hills.
The Mazuma Hills Mining and Leas-
ing company. operating what is known
as the Reagen lease, a short distance
from the Mazuma Hills workings and
on a parallel vein, has developed enor-
nous bodies Of milling ore ranging
from $40 to $50 a ton, in addition to
high grade shipping ore, and has de-
cided upon a stamp mill in the near
future. Plenty of water has developed
in it's lower workings to make such a
plant successful. In a short time con-
nection will have been made from the
working shaft to the incline shaft from
where a shipment has just been made
at a point 80 feet lower on the vein.
In the Seven Troughs Fairview at
Vernon, conditions exist hat seem in
credible to all except those who are
frequently visiting the mine. With an
augmented force of miners all the lew
els are being worked to the 500-foot
and from each, ore Of several
grades nave been sacked until the ore
house is filled and all the available
space in the mine is choked.
This condition is the result of the
failure Of the Seven Troughs Fairview
company to get satisfactory contracts
with the smelters under present condi-
lions, and the work of piling up the ore
is going on pending more satisfactory
terms with the smelters.
