time for next seasons crop. If SO it
will be a boon for the land in the
vicinity of the factory. We have not
been here long enough to tell much
about the climate but we do not notice
very much difference from that of
South Dakota when the temperature
is the same; that is, freezing weather
here is the same as there, except the
wind, which seldom blows here. Our
winds are from the southwest and
west and consequently are warm; we
have no polar waves and consequently
no very sudden changes in tempera-
ture; the most noticeable is the sudden
cooling off when the sun goes down
at night. We find things much as
expected here and are not disappoint-
in the first outlook. We will write
more when better informed about the
country We send our regards to all
the friends at home and wish them a
prosperous year.

number of friends, and is immense,
ly popular, not only with his own
people but with those outside the
church. He has made himself at
home with all classes of people and
is much beloved by those who have
been privileged to come into close
association with aim. A thoughtful
and forceful preacher, he has drawn
to the church services those who are
considered among the best educated
of our people, while his efforts in the
literary and social realm have been
such that he will be greatly missed
when he leaves.
During his incumbency he has been
the recipient of numerous offers,
offering wider spheres of labor and
more remuneration than the place

their pay was equal to that of like
service in the open market, or higher,
as it generally is, it is just as much
their duty to live within their income
and to lay up for old age, asit is the
duty of the man or woman employed
in the industrial world. The fact that
a man has enjoyed what he thought
was "snap" for a lifetime and lived
a pace faster than his less fortunate
fellows is no good reason why he
should be paid a pension when he is
too old to earn decent living. The
man who has been selling his labor
in competition with others on the
open market at much less figure
and performing much greater service
is the more entitled to an old age
pension.

PRIEST RESIGNS
A. j. Sipher.

The Brookings Press of last week
prints the following item which will
be of interest to De Smet people:
The Rev, Francis Burpell Chamber
lain Randall, who has been the priest
in charge of the missions of st. Paul
III Brookings and st. Stephen in De
Smet since July 1908, has resigned
his charge, the resignation to take
effect February lst, 1910. He has
asked for and been granted letters
dismissoly to the Bishop Of Nebraska
and will have charge of important
missions in that diocese.
During the eighteen months that
Mr.. Randall has had the oversight of
the local church he has made a large

A CALL for meeting of the leaders
of the stalwart faction of the republi-
can party has been issued for January
9th at Watertown. At the present
time the disposition of the progress
sives seem to be for dropping the
factional fight and returning to Office
all first term officials, whether pro-
gressive or s,alwart Should the
stalwarts decide upon any other course
the responsibility for a factional fight
all along the line will be upon their
shoulders. The proper thing for the
party to do is to turn down any and
all who advocate a factional fight.
But there are few who imagine they
are the whole cheese, politically speak
ing, and who, it seems, will never be
satisfied unless they can run the party
in this state as they did few years
ago. But they never CAN ruin it, and
the sooner tn y realize it, the better
it will be for all concerned. 1t is our
prediction that there will not be more
than ten or dozen present at the
meeting, exclusive of those resident
at Watertown, and every one of them
will be an ex-of6ce- holder.

THERE is evidenced on the part of
some disposition to criticize Presi-
dent Taft for not including in his
opening message to congress recon-
mendations for railroad control, etc
But as the president has promised a
special message on that subject early
in January, it looks the better part to
withhold judgment. If he shall
send to congress message along the
lines set forth in his Des Moines
speech, he will have done all that the
most hopeful looked for, and all that
it is probable could be expected
through congress at this time. Any
thing less than outlined in that speech
will cause disappointment, and justly
so, as the people have a right to be-
lieve the president expressed his
honest opinion and desires in that
speech, and the public generally ac-
cepted it as a promise of legislation
to be attempted.

THE DEMOCRATS ON PRICES.

"The Republican prices" is what
Governor Harmon of Ohio called them
in an interview. Republican prices!
Meaning the high cost of prices.
Are they Republican prices, and if
SO are they fit subject for Democratic
reprobation? What was the plea of
the Democratic party in 1896? That
the decentralization of silver had re-
suited in such a contraction of the
money of redemption that we were
afflicted by hopeless condition of
falling prices. Money was so artifi-
cially dear that commodities were
correspondingly cheap. The poor
man who worked for wages could, it
was true, buy whole lot of things
for dollar, but the Republican party
had fixed it so that he couldn't get
the dollar. Farmers got such ridicu-
lously low prices for their products
that there was nothing in farming
The country was going to the dogs
through low prices.
Thus argued Mr.. Bryan and thus
argued the Democratic national plat
form of that year in reinforcement of
its demand for the free coinage of sill
yer. Defeated on this issue, and con
fronted in later campaign with ap-
preciating prices without the inter-
vention oil free coinoge, the Democrat
ic party declared that it had been vim
dicated, that its quantitative theory
OF money had been applied by the
greatly increased production of gold
aud that the comforting advance in
prices was due to an act of providence
for which the republican party had
no share of the credit.
Now we have the spectacle of the
Democrats attacking their own theory
of the benefit to the country of high
prices, even when the increases are in
the returns to farmers, for whom the
Democrats profess always to have
been fighting. From this it appears
that prices. whether high or low, are
wrong while the Republican party is
in power. Minneapolis Journal.

FROM A. j. SIPHER

We received the following letter
Monday from A. j. Sipher, an old
resident of Spirit Lake township, but
now of Attica, Mimi, which will be
of interest to many of our readers
who are old acquaintances of the
Sipher family:

makes her home with us, and she
wishes to be remembered to her De

this was the dryest season they have

IT begins to look now-more than
ever -as if the harmony plan for this
state will be lost in the shuttle. The
insurgents seem to be in no hurry to
extend the olive branch with no con
ditions attached, and as they are sup.
posed to be ia control of the state
affairs, maybe this is all right and
proper. The stalwarts do not appear
overly anxious to grasp any olive
branches yet extended by the insur-
gents, and as they have ample argu
ments for another battle, maybe their
course is all right and proper, If it
comes to a real fight, the scrap of two
years ago will resemble peace con-
ference at The Hague in comparison,
Alexandria Herald.
The above expresses one view of the
political conditions in this state. But
we cannot accept it as expressing the
real situation. There will be no such
factlonal fight in 1910 as in 1908. A
fight at this time would have TO be
mostly for office, and there are not
enough who care about who holds the
Offices to carry on such factional
scrap. An attempt 10 overthrow the
present state administration, as now
composed of progressives and stall
warts, would not receive the support
of many prominet papers of the state,
or many of the leading men outside
of those seeking Office. Whoever
seeks to stir up a strife equal to that
of two years ago will suffer loss OF
prestige among the rank and file and
will only succeed in solidifying the
opposition. The time has gone by
when a half-dozen wouldbe Office
holders and dictators can sit in their
easy chairs and direct a vigorous
campaign in their own interests to be
carried on by local workers all over
the state.

A WAsHINGToN dispatch says the
question of what to do with the aged
government clerks who have out grown
their usefulness is one of considerable
importance, and as one solution of
the question the plan of creating a
civil pension list is proposed 1t is
doubtful if the people will endorse a
civil pension program, and there is no
good reason why such pension list
should be created; it would simply be
placing a premium an extravaganza.
No No item OF our government expense
is more cheerfulIy paid than the PEN
sion to old and disabled soldiers and
sailors who risked their lives in de-
fense of our country. But the same
elements of duty and gratitude do
not enter into the civil pension idea,
neither has the same service and
patriotism been shown by those whom
it is sought to benefit by such pen.

that the government is more liberal
in the salaries paid toits clerical help

market. Every man or woman who
fills a clerical position in Washington

willing to play politicsto get it. II

By his side stood his little daugh-
ter. Within the home was his
wife, desperately Ill. The shoot
ing caused great excitement in

That this the outcome of a cru

plain. Recently the mayor had
been actively engaged in enforcing
the prohibition law. Several per-
sons had been indicted at the in.
stigation of the mayor and four
of them, including S. J. and B.

court at Beaufort this week. 1t
is stated that threats were made
at the time against the mayors
life and his assassination fastened
suspicion on the Sanders. S. J.
