Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1910-10-07

The building occupied and owned
by the Los Angeles Times was wreck
ed Saturday, Oct. lst, by dynamite
explosion which not only wrecked the
building but set fire to it and caused
its complete destruction. At the time
a full force was at work and it is said
that twenty lives were lost. The ex-
plosion is attributed to the work of
members of labor unions from whom
the management has, at several times
during the past four years, received
threatening letters. Another dynamite
boom consisting of clock works and
fifteen sticks of the explosive were
found at the Zeenhandeller residence.
The police think they have the clues
that will result in finding the guilty
parties, but as yet this claim is not
certain.

ONE of the issues the democrats are
trying to force into this campaign is
the so called "Czar" law. This law,
in brief is one that allows the governor
to remove township, city and county
officers who fail or refuse to enforce
the laws. 1t was passed by the last
Legislature as nonpartisan measure,
and was later submitted to vote of
the people under the referendum. 1t
having been so submitted, it is
manifestly out of place to endeavor to
make it an issue between the two
parties. 1t must, or must not, be law,
according to the vote of the people.
The Independent believes that the
law is a good one. 1t is in force in
many states and works for good. The
very existence of the law on the
statute books has the eff~cj of making
those officers who, by nature or in
clination. are Cilatory to give the en-
forcement of laws hetter attention,
and in case that an official refuses to
do his duty, it provides way of re-
moving him from Office. 1t Is far
cry to say that it gives governor the
power of a car: there has not yet
been a case recorded in any state where
the law has been abused by the
governor. We believe the law is
good, and we are willing to see it
placed ia the hands of a democratic
governor, if he be elected. No man
who is big enough to hold the Office
of governor will oop SO low as to
betray such trust, unless it might
be one who is commi ted against it
before hand, as is the present demo
cratic candidate, and, notwithstand-
ing his talk against the law in this
campaign. we q ubt very much if
even he would abuse or r fuse to en-
force it, if he were elected. We hope
to see the law approved by the vote
of the people.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT AND THE
NEW NATIONALISM

Theodor. Roosevelt has placed him
self squarely and Enthusiastically in the
Progressive movement; he has formu-
lated tha' movement into definite
S It of principles; be has given it new
name. This magazine has no concern
with Roosevelt's personal or political
fortunes and no desire to explain
away the faults and inconsis' encies OF
his public Career. We are interested
in the Progressive idea, the movement
to which Roosevelt gave his support
in its infancy. hut which has increased
in wisdom and in STA ure without his
aid. In his address, delivered on the
yrouud where John Brown aud his
followers fired the first shots in the
struggle against human slavery,
Roosevelt shows that he has kept
pace with the progress of that move
men.. His pronouncement is tenn
perate, clear cut and specific and as
such is worthy of serious considera-
tion.
The Roosevelt OF the former day
was concerned with the doctrine of a
square deal under the rules, the new
nationalism as set forth at Osawatomie
declares that there must be "a square
deal under new rules" Roosevelt
demanded that the corporations stop
breaking the laws; the new national
ism demands that the corporations
stop making the laws.
"We must drive the interests out of
politics" is Roosevelt's first demand,
and he would begin by prohibiting
the use of corporation money for
POLITICAL purposes.

In these times of high cost of living
and disappointing national Legislation
the democrates Of this state have
adopted catchy slogan for their state
campaign, which is, Equal oppor
tunities for all; special privileges to
noue." II listens good to the man
without memory. But its snowy
brass trimmings become consider
ably tarnished when we remember
that it was the democratic president
Grover Cleveland VITO caused the
bond issue and made he Morgan bond
syndicate not only a possibility but
an actual fact. That was a big deal
for Morgan, aud the S7,000000 % of
the peoples money he secured by
running hat bond issue through his
wringer was one of the principal
factors in putting him where he is to-
day, the financial king of the country.
There are other matters that occurred
at about that time which do not add
lustre to the democratic record, but
we will pass over them and come down
to the time within the memory of
every reader when big bunch OF
democrats in congress sold out to
Cannon and thereby made possible
the election of Cannon 10 the speakers
chair, a position he could not have
obtained except for democratic votes.
Later revision of the tariff law was
under consideration. Did the demo
Gratis stand for their principles ad-
vocated since the organization of their
party? Not at all Did they stand
against special privileges to the trusts?
No! 1t was democratic votes that
made the tariff on lumber, sugar,
steel, lead, cotton and wool. These
items were of special interest to trusts
10 .ated all, or in part, in d mocratic
states. Through the combination III.
TO which they entered TO secure these
schedules IN sny other objectionable
items We're accepted and supported by

named. Democratic history resefses
the catchy sentiments expressed In
their campaign slogan. 1t is easy for
campaign orators to say those things
they wish to say with an appearances
of truth that would convince the
ordinary man unless he stops to review
the history of the party and to analyze
the statements made. 1t is also easy
to omit mention of those things which.
if mentioned would put their hearers
on their guard and give them /. clue
to the real situation. There is not
one scrap of democratic history as
affecting the present industrial situa
ton of this country, or at any time In
the past since trusts began the at

country, that can be said to have been
in the interests of the people. That
party when in power. and its minority

KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET.
8 Q ooooo 6 DO Q Q Q Q Q Q 8
T. Rickart, Correspondent,

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. A.
Receipts in the quarantine division
here have been very light for week
or two, and the market in that divis-
ion has followed the trend of prices
in the native division. She stuff and
butcher grades sold higher every day
last week and the close on quaran-
tines was also higher than close of
previous week, although short fed
steers in the native division show a
loss of Is to 25 cents for the week
The run of quarantine cattle today
is small and the market is to 10
higher Receipts yesterday contain
some fed steers weighing $50 lbs. at
$525, and some Gamer COWS at $2.65
to $325. Fed cows in quarantine
division have sold recently at s4.S0,
/ top steers last week there S5.45, bulls
at S5.40 and veal calves UP to $500,
heavy calves s400 to $3.50. Every
thing but steers in the native division
is selling at the highest prices of the
winter, and although steers have met
some reverses since the first of De-
cember, they have invariably recover
ed quickly from each rebuff, and seem
to open the month of January on a
good firm basis. Extreme cold wealth
er over the country since the first of
December has stimulated consumption
of meats, although at the same time
it has forced a good many men into
idleness, especially in the building
trades.
Hog receipts last week remained at
holiday volume, and through the ex-
hibition of extreme Indifference pack
ers were able to break the market Is
to 25 cents by the close of the week
from the high point. The supply to-
day is 5000 head, and prices are 5 to
10 higher, top price sS45, bulk of
sales sS.15 to $S40. The feature to-
day is the strength shown in hogs
weighing under 200 lbs. which kind
sell up to $S.4O. a point nearer heavy
hog prices than they have reached be-
fore this winter One of the biggest
buyers here stayed out of the market
today, refusing to bid more than
steady prices, and as his house will
have to buy more heavily balance of
the week, their action today may help
prices later in the week.
Sheep and lambs made good gain
in price last week, and the market is
10 higher today, run 5000 head.
Lambs brought $3.50 today and year
lings $3.50, each a new high price for
this winter. Wethers are worth $5.25
to $500 and ewes s4.75 to $3.50. goats
around $4.25 Receipts since the first
of December show decrease as com
pared with year ago, indicating a
shortage on feed this winter. and Fight

THE ESCAPE OF The MICE.

The second of a series of articles
concerning the graft expose in Okla
homa appears in the January number
of Strum's Oklahoma Magazine.
The story is told in most enter
tanning way, and leaves no doubt in
the mind of the reader that graft is
running riot in the state, and that it
is not confined to Oklahoma City,
county, nor to any particular section
of the state. Not that Oklahoma is
different or worse in this particular
than other states, but it is being rob-
bed in many ways. Its taxes are al
ready high and will be higher If spe-
cial attention is not given to cleaning
out the thieves-or as this story puts
ito catching the mice that are
stealing the cheese.
The story is by G. A. Reinmiller.
Speaking editorially of the expose Mr..
Sturm says he did not expect to run
a second article on the graft business
when the first was printed. but that
the discovery is such that he does not
know now where the investigation will
end. 1t is plain that the magazine
is printing the truth, and that it is no
respector of persons.

OBITUARY..

Editor the Daily Chieftaln:
was pleased with the short editorial
mention in Mondays paper Of the
death of very dear friend, Mrs
Jemima Blythe which occurred Sunday
the second day of the new year, but
thought more extended notice should
be given of the death of this woman,
who in many ways was far more than
an ordinary character
To those of us who have
lived in Vinita for thirty years
and more there is an appreciation OF
the sterling qualities of many of our
old people who are one by one passing
over the river.
In the year 1887 Mrs Blythe. then
a young girl came overland from the
old Cherokee nation and settled at
Lowell, Kansas, In the neutral strip
and her father was the first white man
to build in Kansas. Injured to all the
hardshops incident to pioneer life in
the west this woman grew to woman
hood in that locality. When she died
at her home in this city last Sunday
she was nearly n years old and had
taken her place in the history of Vim
ita and the Cherokee nation. Today
we buried her remains out on the hill
north of town, and remember her as
a strong. fine woman of the old line
of Cherokees, with high ideals and a
lofty conception of the duties and obli-
cations of life. When the song bird
breaks the eternal stiffness of the
skies above her resting place there
will be JOY in the knowledge that she
has gone where no lightning slum-
bers in the folds of the rainbow cloud
and when its sunlit waters are only
broken by the storms breath Of omni-
potence. 4 FRIEND.
