PAUL ,0NEs' PROMISE.
Our Great Naval Hero and the Dueh-
ess Of Charities.

The Duchess of Charities was an en-
thuSiast in the cause of American lib
erty and Il warm friend of its great
naval champion. Paul Jones. whom
she nicknamed the Entitled knight
of the Sea-" The duchess was IL royal
princess and very great lady, and
Captain Jones was IL sailor. self edu-

compliments which, according to the
custom Of the day in France attended
their friendship. he was not to be out

before be sailed from France in the
Ranger on that famous cruise of his
which carried the war to the very
shore of Britain it was the good for
tune Of Paul Jones to share in a con-
versation touching a French naval en-
gagement in which the grandfather of
the duchess had borne a conspicuous
part and to defend and explain his
mnneuvers on that occasion. showing

1t was daring boast, but in A. q.
Buell's biography Of Paul Jones it is
related how he kept it. Within two
years occurred the marvellous victory
of the Bonhomme Richard over the
Scraps. concerning which the victor
wrote the duchess letter, ending,
'"The enemy surrendered at thirty-five
minutes past 10 p. N. by your watch,
which consult only to fix the moment
of victory"
That was a phrase to delight So
ciety that reveled in pretty phrases,
and the duchess was amply satisfied.
When Paul Jones reached Paris she
gave grand banquet in his honor.
Just before it ended he reminded her
of her gift and his promise. A servant
was sent to his room and returned
with long leather case. which the
duchess took amid the EXPLANATIONS
and eager curiosity of the company.

fmpossibility of keeping my promise

sea. smiling. 1.-The English frigate
proved to be a forty-four on two

Argus-Leader, u2der a Dead
wood date line, r. O. Richards
of Huron has an ambitious
friend in the Hills who is liable
to stir up trouble. The state
ment is given publicity that Mr..
Richards is being urged to be-
come a candidate for governor.
1t is doubtless made for the
purpose of sounding public SEN
timent, and may have even been
suggested by party Interested.
AS both the present governor
and the prospective aspirant
come from the same city, it
looks as though the politicians
Of Huron should be content to
let Gov. Wesley test his popu-
lamty for denomination. Then,
should he fail, allow the honor
to fall to the lot of another.
There is no reason why they
should "bull" the market on
gubernatorial material.

according to a decision recently
made by Attorney General

Guardians Company of South

MES affected are the Modern
Brotherhood of America, Mys-

come effective on and after

1t is up to the commissioner of
of insurance to refuse license

THE POT SIMMERiNC.

IL ASCiNt2 INV 90 uiiOuSou NOF'
Robert s. Vessey's first term in
office is to close with a fight on
hand for denomination. For
some time many have hoped
that the people would be
rid of political warfare for
a few months and that things
political would move along as
smoothly and with as little fric-
tion as does the prosperity of
the state. But it seems the off
year is destined to close as a
hornets nest interrupted. 1t is
a foregone conclusion that Gov.
Wesley is in line for re-nomina-
ton, but there have come to
the front two other aspirants
for Office. George w. Egan
of Sioux Falls has announced
himself as candidate, subject
to the June primaries, and
friends of r. G. Richards of
Huron are grooming his can
didacy, urging him insistently
to allow his name to be used
for the Office, So far as the
UNION is informed at this time,
all three are good men, amply
qualified and capable of render
ing good service to the state.
But the people must decide be-
tween them in June, and this
paper is willing that the merits
Of the men be discussed candid
" and intelligently, for the sim
pie reason that South Dakota
has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by the republic
can party nominating the
best man for the position Of
chief executive, and nomination
is akin to election.
Mr.. Egan's candidacy is no
surprise to the people Of this
section of the state. Such has
been the impression of those
who have followed his writings
and speeches. But the pecu-
liarly interesting fact is that he
is a resident Of Minnehaha
county, in the extreme eastern
part of the state, while the an
nouncement is made in Pen
nington county, the extreme
western part of the state. This
may be taken as a bid for favor
west of the Missouri river, even
though the candidate be a resi-
dent of the state several hun
dred miles east. And it also.
may be taken as an indication
that politically the western Sec
ton and Hills country is des-
tined to cut a considerable fig
ure in the battles of the future.
In any event, however viewed,
2 Pennington county appreciates
the recognition. The kind Of
an official Mr.. Egan would make
il chosen is a matter Of specu-
lation at this time, SO the peo-
pie, not the politicians, must do
the choosing when the time
comes.
Governor Vessey is now serv-
ing his first term in office. He
was born in Algona township,
Winnebago county, Wisconsin,
May is, 1858, and will be in
the prime Of life when his his
term as governor closes, in his
ffty-second year. He was elect
ed to the position in November,
1903, and came to the state to
reside in 1883, making his res

will only be when a test Of his
popularity is made before the
people.
Therefore, Governor Vessey
is the only known quantity now
before the people, and it being
his first term political prece-
dents would indicate his prefer
ence, as it takes more than a
a year for a man to be Of really
valuable service to the state.
Some politicians are inclined to
criticize him for retaining GER
tain stalwarts in office, but as
the criticism is more political
than anything else, the weight
of this objection is problemat-
ical. The UNION at this time
does not care to draw a dlst1nc-
ton between the men and be-
lieves it especially in bad taste
for the fact that but one Of the
three men has authoritatively
stated his candidacy. The let
ter announcing Mr.. Egan's can
didacy is Of interest as an OK
hibit in a budding campaign,
and as such will be consider
ed by the Epeople. For that
reason it is published in full in

GOV. MEAD ON
ABE LINCOLN
MAY SPEAK At YAKIMA BANQUET
Effort Will Be Made by Illinois Club
to Secure Him for Centennial
Celebration.

Gov. Albert f. Mead is to be in
vited by the Illinois club of Yakima
county to be the guest of honor of
the club and its chief speaker on Fri
day, February u, at the centennial
celebration of Abraham Lincoln's
birth. While no definite arrange
ments have been made as to the ban
quet, such is the expectation of J. L..
Hughes, president of the club.
Finding that there is a general in
terest in the Lincoln celebration. the
committee in charge of details is
considering the advisabiity of secur-
ing some church auditorium for the
program, and in such case the BAN
quet will be of the buffet style, so
that over a thousand people can be
accommodated for the event. 1t is
believed there is no hall in the city
that would accommodate the number
of banqueters who would be drawn
to an event on Lincoln's birthday this
year
The committee in charge of the ar
engagements, which includes the Of
ficers of the club and six other mem
bers, will hold a meeting the latter
part of the week to perfect plans for
the event.
