ANINTEREsTINC QUESTION.

Deadwood Telegram: "a QUESTION of
considerable interest which will have
an Important bearing on thes next
election of Congressman in this state,
has been sprung.
Heretofore both congressman have
been elected cat large the state
never having been divided into dis
tricts as provided by the state consti-
tuition. Hence every voter in the
state had vote on both members.
THE last legislature divided the
state into two districts One COM
prises the country west Of the river
and strip off the northeast part OF
the state. The other includes the
central and south part Of the state
east Of the river.
"This division was not satisfactory
to some Of the politicians and they
got up petition under the refere1-
dunn law to submit this districting
law to vote Of the people at the
next election. AS It requires only;
five per cent Of the total vote to get q
referendum petition, this was easy
II possible, the effect would be to
hold up the operation Of the law until.

DREAMS OF DAKoTALANo.

Armour Herald: Occasionally a
good man grows dissatisfied with
South Dakota. The milk is too yell
low or the honey too sweet, and he
does not like them to flow over his
land anyway. So he parts with his
farm, sells his live stock and "other
things too numerous to mention, :"
and moves to Oklahoma. Then he
takes his good South Dakota money
and buys farm, which to-day is and
tomorrow is not, because the wind
has blown it away. Or he tries Colo
RADIO and slushes around in the mud,
1rrigating strip of bottom so mar
row that a COW can't jump over into
the held because she jumps over it..
Then he hears of Arizona or Mexico
and goes down to hunt the bag of
gold at the end of the rainbow. In the
daytime>he scratches the sand burrs
out Of his horses flesh and at night
centipedes crawl over his face. When
his money is all gone he begins to
feel like he did when he strayed
away from home. He yearns for good
old South Dakota and the yearn sticks
in his throat and chokes him until
tears come to his eyes. He would
give months work to see the COWS
standing at the bars on his old South
Dakota farm, and hear the horn blow
for dinner. Memory is a marvellous
painter and paints the things we
have loved best. 1t pictures to the
traveller the corn silking in the field
he once owned, the wheat following
for the harvest, the clover stretching
away in a carpet of red and green,
richer than the rugs of Persia. 1t
shows him the bees as they whisper to
his children at play beneath them,
points to the flowers on the prairie
and in infinite details points to a
Thousand things that touch the heart
and its whimsical power. Happy is
the man who awakes from sleep to
find that he has wandered from South
Dakota in his dreams only.

WANT NEW Leaders.

The sentiment for change In the
republican leaders of the state is gain
ing impetus. Especially is it mani.
fest in the eastern part of the state
at this time, and now forming in the
west. Whether it is based on sui.
ticient grounds is debatable matter
But under present conditions 1t ap.
pears well founded in the interest OF
the party, especially If anything OF
| Importance is to be accomplished
There appears to be an amount OF
sincerity about it in the interest OF
harmony, and time may bring about
a solution with both factions working
in the interest of the people.
Brother Wiley Of the Vermillion
Republican, comes forward, stating;
eve think such men as Thomas Stir.
ling, r. A. Wesley, Eben w. Martin
John L. Jolley, e. G. Erickson, G. a.
Dillon, j. w. Parmley, Speaker M
y. Chancey, Treasurer johnson, G. III.
Lugg, State Senator Byrne and j. G.
Payne and many, many others of like
political culture, character and com.
plexion, should be invited to become
our leaders and this invitation should
be accompanied by the insistence OF
the people backed by their solemn
pledge of earnest, enthusiastic sup.
port" The UNION endorses the sen.
timent expressed and wishes to add
that the new leaders be men whose
hearts are attuned to the interests OF
the people, Of the calibre to stand by
instructions formulated by the people
whom they are to lead
Get back to the people and away
from all else, is the demand of the
times. Not until the people have
representation. and their interests
protected can there be harmony and
party strength. Before any are chosen
to lead they must prove their qualifi.
cations. Another of the requirements
must be that all who seek Office go on
record showing their ability, stability
and desire to represent the people OF
the state; that they understand their
duty to represent the people, and not
to forget the people as soon as the
certificate Of authority is given them.
The tendency of the times has been
to break away from leaders entirely.
The condition is brought about by
those who have placed themselves,
egotistically or otherwise, in the posi-
tion of leaders. The writer has at.
tended and reported many conventions
as a representative Of metropolitan
papers. In nearly every one the slate
has beef1>made and carried out. The
men sent as delegates having no voice
in the deliberations other than to
vote, and they generally voted for the
slate candidates without getting wise
to the situation until the convention
had adjourned. 1t is this kind OF
work that has contributed to the dis
position to cut away from leaders.
The condition here referred to is to
be found in both parties. 1t should
not be so-let the people speak and be
obeyed.

is OF PROPER SIZE.

1
people with heart attuned for the
people. His speech before the Mar
quette club of Chicago, strong re-
publican organization, was of the sort
to touch the American people and it
gave him the stamp of sincerity of
purpose in behalf of the people. He
has won his present position with
every vantage point stubbornly con-
tested by the conservative forces in
trenched in power in every way in
Iowa. He has won on his fight in
behalf of the people by his sincerity
OF purpose. He Isl deep thinker, a
student of the times and a man from
the west where throbs the unadul.
terated sentiment of the people;
where no man Is exalted, beyond
another unless he is worthy. His
speech was dignified and decisive, OF
a character to demonstrate to the
world he is of proper size for presi.
dent. He would have the people with
him. He is now before the people as
no other man has been in his position.
The Vermillion Republican OBJ.
serves: cit seems likely that Hon. e.
S. johnson of Rapid City, will be the
Democratic candidate for governor OF
South Dakota in the coming years
campaign. lie has made good rec.
ord thus far, politically as well as
socially and Intellectually, also a sue.
cessful and reliable business citizen.
The name..of Johnson in Democratic
circles seems one to conjure with:
witness Tom johnson of Ohio, Gov.
johnson Of Minnesota, Senator John.
son Of North Dakota, and SO on. OF
course there is limit to the johnson
line, and very likely in this case E. S.
would furnish it." Running for Of
flee on the Democratic tickit is about
as harmless, expensive and discourag-
Ing advertisement as any we'll regu-
lated business man can indulge. New.
ertheless the UNION would like to see
Mr.. johnson appease his ambition.
LET the women vote if they want
to. They are capable, deserving and
not half 80 apt to vote wrong. as the
men are And then thousands of
them own property and should have a
voice in saying what should be done.
The real menace is not the woman
voter. 1t is the hoater and those who
vote as they are told by persons who
have a special interest in having them
vote certain way When the ballot
Is cast by those who think; then, and
then only will the menace be removed.
Yes! Let the women vote!
The outcome of the New York cleo
tion may be taken as an indication
that a primary law will be passed by
the next session Of the legislature.
Out Of the hundred and twelve who
voted against such law last season,
forty-six were not reelected. Others
have since undergone a change of
heart it is said. Il therefore looks
as though even New York state was
to join the march of progress.

1T, ALL BuNcoMBE.

While we do not believe that Presi-
dent Taft Is doing anything of the
kind, the UNION desires to publish an
extract from the Mitchell Gazette as
an index to what is being said: "Pres-
ident Taft is working up sentiment
In this country and In the Orient
that will not be likely to make the
present strained relations between
these two countries any easier. If war
should come President Taft will have
the satisfaction of knowing that he
had a large influence in that direction.
Maybe, however, he thinks that if the
American people should get interested
the subject Of Oriental relatives, it
would take their minds from the vast

confronting them at home every day.
Perhaps ifswar should break out the
minds Of the people could be diverted
from the tariff question, which is
swiftly killing the republican party. J,

as such may be trying TO start some
