SELLS-FLOTO SHOW

This year the Sells-Floto shows
come back to us again bearing with
them the unique distinction OF having
broken all circus records in the great

circus war is now on and has reeu
waged for the past two years between
certain combined Circusos on the one
side and the Sells-Floto people on the
other. The owners of the Denver show
finally decided to popularizc their
prices and incidentally carry the ha.-
tie TO their opponents.
To this end they strengthened their
organization AT all points and cut the

the people. That the limited priced
circus has come to stay is already an
established fact And in this it is only
following in the wake of certain at
fractions which some years ago broke
away from theatrical tradition and
sought out field for themselves.

is not without foundation. Two teams

A HOME CANDIDATE.

One result of the Huron confer
lence of '.stalwart"" republicans seems
to be that Henry B. Anderson, Of Nit
chell, is certain to be q candidate for
the republican nomination for state
auditor. It was to be hoped that
his candidacy might have other than
q factional source, but it appears that
that is too much to desire in the
present state CT South Dakota poll
tics.
Mr.. Anderson is a clean man and
a competent official. He is we'll
trained in the duties the state audi
tor must perform. He has given
good evidence that he is conscien-
tious. His candidacy ought not to
be presented as factional. He is too
good a man for that.
What relation to any ones fitness
for the office Of state auditor has the

q "stalWart newspaper. H. at any
time. any of our contemporaries will
refer toAthis as a news paper. we
shall feel highly complimented. For
we say deliberately that there is now
no daily news paper in the state
of South Dakota. This fact, demon
strated already a thousand times,
can be shown by just one little test.
The Republican has published and
will publish numerous comments up
on the Huron conference by both
efstalwart' and progressive" re-
publican newspapers. And we say
without fear of contradiction by the
facts that no other daily newspaper
in the state will do anything of the
kind. In other words, every daily
paper will select comment that suits
it's own chosen partisanship and will
print that kind and nothing else.
Perhaps it is too much for The Re-
publican to expect that its policy can
be comprehended without diligent
effort. When the state has seen moth
ing but the most extreme PARTISAN
ship in its newspapers ever since
statehood, 1t can hardly be conceiv-
ed that there will or can be in the
state any newspaper that religiously
gives BOTH sides, that publishes the
news, political as we'll as other,
without prejudice or partially, that
in a word, recognizes the obligation
of a properly conducted newspaper to
give its readers all sides Of a ques-
ton and let THEN decide.
The custom of the usual South Da-
kota newspaper is to that it
has a commission from somewhere
to INSTRUCT it's readers what they
should think and how they should
vote. The editor of The Republican
is willing to confess at the outset that
he does not consider himself equip
ped for the exercise of any such re-
sponsibility.
There is no mystery about the pol
icy of The Republican. If any are
waiting for some declaration that will
slime 1t up they are doomed to dis
EQ&DHa4.s =41a $500 HE4A3I.t r.
appointment. It is not that this
paper has n opinions on public ques-
lions 81 that it will not express them.
But 1t does mean that The Re-
publican is not going to give itself
over to the task of electing any. man
OF any set Of men to office. It means
that The Republican will refuse to
wear tag. It will not be labelled a
Wesley paper" nor q Burke paper
nor any other mans paper. 1t does
not expect that the outcome Of the
approaching campaign is to deter
mine Its destiny. What the manage
ment Of this paper has in mind is the
reputation 1t will enjoy five. ten or
twenty years from now.
So it is that every man. whatever
his faction or whatever his party, can
obtain q hearing in the news columns
Of The Republican. This paper is
anxious to have statements at any
time from stalwarts, insurgents or
any others in politics, and they will
be published as the opinions of those
them. The Republican will
make its own comment on matters of
principle without reference to fac
and will refuse to be bound
even by the dictates Of party.

NEARLY ENDS LIFE
Young Iowa Farmer Comes
Close to Being Asphyxiated
Saturday Evening.
UNCONSCIOUS A LONG TIME
Is Brought Back to Sense by Ply
sician-Denies an Intention of
Trying to Commit Suicide.

Arthur Gartzky, a young German
American farmer from little town
out in central Iowa, came near being
asphyxiated Saturday night while TAX
ing bath in a rooming house on sec
ond avenue near Twelfth street in
this city. When found he was I'M
conscious and had been so for a long
time, and it was with considerable
difficulty that he was brought back
to the land of the living. 1t was sup
posed at first that he had turned on
the gas purposely with the intention
of ending his life, but this morning
when questioned he denied this and
said the affair was an accident.
In Hard Luck.
The young farmer came to this city
on New Years day and tried to find a
place to spend the night. He had no
money, at least not enough to supply
him with food and a place to stay,
but he had the promise of job at a
local factory He told his story to the
mistress of the lodging house and she
believed in him and took him in. IN
the evening before going to bed he
went to the bath room for bath.
About two hours later he was found
there In an unconscious condition. A
physician revived him after working
over him for sometime.
Gartzky's story.
When he came to Sufficiently to talk
he explained that as he was getting
out of the bath tub he felt a strange
~, nd al 1NCf
before he knew it he was unconscious
He says he did not blow out the gas,
but nevertheless it was gas which
overcame him Just how the gas could
get there unless he blew it out is not
known. He was able to be out today
and go to work at his new position.
