The Pettifogger.

Pierre Dakotan: The Aberdeen
News publishes a table %purporting to
show the amount of state taxes paid
In each county in 1905 and 1906 and
the amount paid in 1908 and 1903
showing an increase of sixty per cent
In the aggregate. The table may. or
may not be correct, but the use the
news makes of it is unworthy of any
newspaper that mean to fairly inform
It's patrons and fairly discuss public
issues.
It concludes a pretended analysis
Of these figures with this bit of pet
tifoggery:
"Of course if the people of South
Dakota are getting 60 per cent bet
ter government in state affairs it is
al right, but the f%oresighted voter
will do we'll to ponder conditions
carefully and then decide if insurg-
n government is worth the increas-
ed cost"
If that means anything at all it
means to convey to the voter that
II the stalwarts had continued in
control the cost of state government
would not have been increased over
what it was five years ago. If it
means anything it means to induce
voters to believe that If the stalwarts
are returned to power they will re-
duce the cost Of government to the
old basis. It assumes that the voters
are a pack of children who cannot
for themselves about the in
creased cost Of state government.
The News says nothing about the

ings at much greater first cost but
with increased safety and perma-
nance. 1t says nothing of these things
nor of the general growth of bust
ness in the departments of the state
government; nor of valuable new ac-
tivities undertaken.
Not one stalwart newspaper or Of
fee seeker has indicated where the
stalwarts would or could save the tax
payer 1 dollar. Though challenged to
do SO time and again they have not
attempted, or dared to attempt to say
wee they will put in the pruning
knife and cut OFF any item of the
increased cost of government. over
five years ago. Not one of them has
hda the courage to say they propose
to turn back the hands of progress.
Not one will do SO. Not n but kno US
the expenditure of money has been
entirely legitimate and necessary and
that the stalwarts could not have
done Justice to the state and saved
a single dollar, nor will they do so
if returned to power.
AS an illustrations: The Northern
Normal and Industrial School, locat-
ed at Aberdeen was given $4,000 for
maintenance in 1905 and 1906. In
19O9-191O it was given $4,000, an
increase of more than 81 per cent.
Do the voters of Brown county COM
plain about this increase in state ex-
pense? Will the Aberdeen News say
to these voters and taxpayers that if
the stalwarts are entrusted with
power they will save money by re-
ducing the maintenance fund of the
Northern Normal? The Aberdeen
News knows and the intelligent vot-
ers and taxpayers of Brown county
know, and are glad because the next
legislature will be compelled to give
the Northern Normal and Industrial
School more money instead of less, it
matters not whether stalwarts or in
surgents are in power.
Until the stalwarts begin to speci-
fly where they propose to curtail ex-
penses they are without standing be-
fore the court of popular intelligence,
and their cheap demogogery will avail
them nothing.

Dakota. Mr.. Thorson is a good fell
low, as all who know him can testify.
But that doesn't incline this newspa-
per to endorse the Canton mans con-
gressional aspirations. On the con-
trary, a persual of his announcement
of his candidacy is calculated to I'M
press the News quite firmly with the
opinion that Mr.. Thorson in a seat
in the lower house would not be in
a position either to advance his own
reputation for craftsmanship, or to
accomplish anything worth while for
his constituents or his country.
Mr.. Thorson's own statement, in
his announcement, entirely precludes
the possibility of the accomplishment
of any useful purpose should he be
sent to Washington.
Mr.. TAorson, in the course of
his announcement, says:
eff 1 shall be successful at the
primaries and at the general election,
| shall of course, cooperate with the
republican members of congress. who
for the time are termed insurgents"
This means should he be elected
that he will flock with the little CO.
terie of malcontents led by Norris
and the red-headed warrior from
Kansas, Vic Murdoch. But Norris and
Murdoch and their crowd, being off
the reservation, are helpless without
the cooperation Of the democracy,
and the democrats, as good party men
are more deeply concerned in pro-
noting the chances for a democratic
congress than in helping their insur-
gent friends either to retain their
seats in congress or to secure the
passage of bills in which the con-
stitutents of the insurgents are vital
ly interested. The election OF Mr..
Thorson, therefore, would mean that
that half of the South Dakota delega-
ton in the lower house would simp-
ly have TO sit still and mark time,
while the republican majority does
business. AS a purely business prop
%osition, South Dakota cannot afford
to send Thorson to Washington, even
If, in order to do so, it were not
to retire a tried and true,
capable and efficient public servant
to make roo for him.
Mr.. Thorson is deserving of all
credit for his frank announcement
that If he is elected he will work.

WHO CONSTITUTES THE REPUH
LICAN PARTY?

are certain members OF the repubii-
can party who would rather see it de-
/ ffeated than to see it take issue with
capital. They would prefer to see the
democrats or the socialists in power
If the republican party can keep con-
troll only by indorsing the declaration
that it is not the inalienable right
of those who have much to govern
those who have little.
1t was also observed by The Repub-
lican that President Taft is making
a mistake in giving too much heed to
these r%ule-or-ruin republicans, II he
is sincere-and we believe he is-in
his devotion to party solidarity"
That these conclusions do no vio-
lence to the truth can now be seen
clearly from statements made by Con-
gressmen Payne and Dalzell, two Of
the most powerful members of the
House, in commenting upon the &C
ton of the Indiana state republican
convention, which refused to indorse
the Payne tariff law.
Said MI. Payne:
"Mr. Beverage got himself into a
hole by voting against the tariff law
which. as President Taft said, is the
best tariff law ever passed. l have no
interest in his efforts to get himself
out of that hole, but the tariff law
is v%indicaing itself every day."
Said Mr. Dalzell:
81, believe the democrats will carry
Indiana now. I believe that the next
Indiana legislature will be democratic
and that a real democrat will be sent
to the United States Senate in place
of Beverage. The democrats ought
to win in Indiana this time. II we are
going to have democrats in the Sen
ate we want the real democrats and
not the halfway democrats Of the
Beverage stamp. Any criticism of the
Aldrich-Payne law by Beveridge is,
by free trade democrats. Beveridge's
stand is not in any degree defensible
by any person who claims to be a re-
publican"
1t is unnecessary to add that these
sentiments are fully endorsed by
Speaker Cannon, who observed:
81 can not see how any se%lf-respect-
ing republican can vote for a single
candidate on the Beveridge ticket or
support the Beverage platform. L
say 'Beveridge Ticket because it is
not a republican one."
That President Taft has already
discovered there are lengths to which
as a loyal republican, he cannot fol-
low these reactionary leaders, is in
Dictated by his declaration before the
League Of Republican Clubs Satur-
day night that I'VE are reading no
body out of the party"
The obvious fact is that Payne, Dali
zell and Cannon insist that the re-
publican party believes what they
believe and represents what they rep
resent. But there are some millions
of voters in the United States WHO
may assert that the republican party
believes what they believe and rep
resents their interests. In other words
the question is whether Cannon,
Payne and Dalzell constitute the re-
publican party. Are the rest of Nus
but pudding and punello?

r. l.. Tupper and Paul Bovard of the Arizona Cement company were visitors here yesterday They were called to the site of the plant across the river on business and came on over here to take dinner.
 Asked for news relative to the pro- gross on the cement plant, the gen tlemen said they had nothing espe- cially exciting to report. further than that things are moving along nicely and as well as can be expected They visited the site of the plant yester- day for the purpose of seeing how the exact site of the mill itself might be changed a little to better ac- commodate the railroad company. Ac- cOrding to the first survey, it was planned to have the mill south of the railroad and also south of the public road. The railroad company offered little objection to this on the grounds that it would necessitate building the switches across the highway. The gentlemen yesterday did a little surveying with a view to putting the mill north of the railroad track This will in all probability be done and as it does not materially effect the location of the plant, whether it be on one side' of the tract or the other. no one will have any objection to offer

The in dcations at the present time are that there will be three political ral- lies here tomorrow evening and that will certainly be enough for a town the size of Tempe. one evening. The question is. how is the public and the newsgathcrers going to attend all three at the same time.
 The republican candidates will be here tomorrow evening for the last time during the campaign. The list of speakers has not been announced yet. The candidates yill be accom- panied by the glee club which will furnish music for the occasion. In addition to this party, the labor can dddtcs will be on the ground as well as those on the Independent ticket.

POSTMASTER GENERAL
 REL|sHED CHINESE LUNCH

A victim of late trains and quick connections caused Postmaster Gener- al Hitchcock. who passed through here yesterday morning en route to Flor ence on the Winkelman express. to par take of a Chinese lunch prepared at this place with the regular spagetti side lines.
 General Hitchcock was en route from Tucson to Florence and arrived in Tempe rather behind time yesterday morning. He phoned to Postmaster Mullen that his appetite was in spen- did condition, but the phone message in some way was misconstrued. Post master Mullen after the general had passed that placed realized the mean ing of the suggestion. The Tempe postmaster immediately phoned the local office that the postmaster general would pass through here and that there was no doubt but what he would appreciate d lunch. The time was short, but R. F. D. Carrier Charles Blakely rushed to a Chinese restaurant, the only available place at the moment, ordered a quick lunch and hurried with it to the train. The head of the Unit Su otitSS poSlOlllCt utpdI liHtHl ate llle lunch with a relish that is born of hunger and a good digestion.

LARGE ATTENDANCE ASSURED
A Few Matters of Interest Regarding the High and Public Schools. A Change in the Faculty of the Lat ter.

The grammar and Union high and according to Supt. B. II. Scudder the outlook for an unusually large attendance is bright. This is espc- cially true in the case of the gram mar school but arrangements have been made for the accommodation of all by taking a couple of rooms in the high school building
 The grammar school building has been thoroughly renovated during the summer. It has been freshly kal- somincd throughout and all the in terior wood work has been painted and vanished. The building has been carefully fumigated. new curtains have been placed and everything of this character that will aid the com fort of the pupils has been done. All is in perfect order for the open ing of school Monday morning and the building is practically new on the inside. The same thoroughness that has prevailed on the inside of the building has been extended to the outbuildings. Much of the credit of this belongs to Clerk T. R. Dimes, the only member of the board who has been here all summer. He has taken an active interest in the work and has given much of it his care ful personal supervision.
 The faculty for the school this year is an especially strong one from the standpoint of experience and training The members and their grades are as follows: r. J Sullivan. principal, eighth grade; Charles Al exander. seventh grade; Miss Daisy Buck. sixth grade; Miss Elizabeth Cosner. fifth grade; Miss Ina Me Comas. fouth grade; Mrs. Ida O'Con- nor. third grade; Miss Maud Wilson. second grade: Miss Lottie Mullen and Miss Nell McNeil. primary grades; Miss Ida Rodkey, music; Charles Cash. manual training; B. il. Scudder, superintendent.
 It will be noted in the above list that the name of Miss Daisy Buck appears while that of Miss Grace Webb is missing This is due to the fact that Miss Webb has recently ac- cepted a position in the Phoenix city schools ana resigned IToll lHt ltllpt school but few days ago. The board was fortunate in being able to secure Miss Buck who had been en- gagged to teach at the Alma school. Miss Buck served last year as prin- cipal of the Osborn school north Of Phoenix and is very capable teach CT.
 Some of the teachers above men toned also teach in the high school and it is indeed fortunate that this can be so arranged As it is num- Der of subjects are now taught Tn the public school that could not be handled at all but for the fact that it can be done with the assistance of the high school faculty. In addition to the teachers above noted. Miss Emma French has charge of the languages in the high school and Karl McMurray has charge of the commercial course while Superin- tendent Scudder will fill in on diff ferent subjects as occasion may de- mand.
