Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1910-08-12

Our senators and congressman may
compare the Iowa and South Dakota
republican platforms and reflect with
profit to themselves. By so doing
they will note the hearty endorsement
of Iowa senators and congressman for
their course along progressive lines in
the one, and the absence of commend
alton in the other This difference in
the platforms is not due to difference
of opinion as to progressive principles,
but to the fact that the progressives
in this state were disappointed in the
course of our senators nothing was
expected of the congressman. The
party in this state were particularly
disappointed in Senator Crawford S
attitude at times. He proved himself
to be more of a protectionist than his
constituents had thought him to be.
They expected him to stand as a
lcCtutI DSSluG SulnIiluS anu LdI OF
lette, and in this expectation lies their
disappointment. His attitude on the
railroad bill was satisfactory, but
while it was a matter of great i'm
portance, it was overshadowed by the
dissatisfaction with his course on the
tariff, and the fact that he did not
take more Of an advanced position.
We are mentioning this matter in all
kindness to Senator Crawford with
the hope that he may profit thereby.
The senator has had no more hearty
supporter in this state than the In.
dependent from the beginning of his
campaign six years ago. We still
have faith that he will make good,
but to make good" with his con-
stituency he must take more advanc-
ed position.

The Iowa republican platform was

mends President Taft for all his work
along progressive lines, but does not
give him an unqualified endorsement
The tariff abortion is condemned
severely. The progressive senators
and representatives are heartily en-.
dorsed. This shows the sentiment ol
the people in the middle west. They
want progressive legislation; they are
not asking for special favors, and they
demand that special fovors be refused

THOSE who are kicking on the tariff
should look at the account of the
United States treasury for the fiscal
year ending June Both. Last year
the statement showed deficit of over
fifty eight million of dollars, this year
there is a surp!ns Of asar eia=ea :ssaiiii
ions of dollars. And thirty two mil
ions of dollars of this gain is directly
attributed to the new tariff. The
tariff is alright and is the best tariff
this country ever had. Brookings
Press.
We are surprised that the Brook
ings Press, usually so well edited,
should be guilty of such break.
There are few who actually think,
and know from their standpoint, that
our present tariff is "the best we ever
had" but it is hardly in that class.
That under the new tariff there is a
greater revenue may be true. But
it is the people paw it. The Press
talks as if all there is to raising money
through tariff is simply to legislate.
But again, the tariff has not changed
the treasury from deficit to surplus;
the internal revenue tax has helped
to wipe out the deficit, and again the
people have paid the price. But it is
not against the amount OF money that
goes into the treasury through the
tariff that the people are kicking. 1t
is the untold millions that the favored
interests are able to collect through
prices for necessities made possible
by the tariff law. Practically no reve-
nue. is derived by the government
from the tariff on lumber, iron, wool
en- or cotton goods, sugar, farm ma
chinery and the many other articles
we produce in abundance, and OF
which we export our surplus. Yet
the tariff is added to the price and
collected from the consumer. The
great mass of the people, the con.
sumers, must pay all the expense %

AFTER securing six out of eight of
the congressional nominations in
Kansas the insurgents are disposed
to think it was good thing that
Cannon came into that state to shoot
off his mouth. With Cannon blowing
off his standpat drivel it put the issue
squarely before the people, the best
help the insurgents could have had.

but should aid in its enforcement.
| We believe that all our natural re-
sources should be carefully conserved
and developed for the general good
and that all public officials-state and
national whether holding by cleo
tion or by appointment whose powers
extend to the control of natural re-
sources should be for their peculiar
| fitness and for their known record and
opinions touching the conservation
and development of such resources.
The dominant national issue is the
wrestling control of national legisla.
tion from special interest and we
heartily approve of the notifications
of the rules of the house of represent
atives recently adopted by which the
members of that body are permitted
larger latitude of individual ac-
ton, thereby enabling them more
fully to represent by voice and vote
the will of their constituents. Were
commend that the members from this
state favor necessary notifications of
the rules SO as to further curb the
arbitrary influence and power of the
speaker.
We are opposed to appointment to
federal judgeship, corporation lawyers
whose environment is such as to create
distrust or weaken public confidence
in cases where such corporate inter
ests may be involved.
No backward steps should be taken
by the republicans of South Dakota
in the various reform measures enact
ed into law by the recent sessions of
the legislature. The primary law
should be amended to meet de-
ficiencies made apparent in its actual
operation and party recall is sug
gested with proper safeguards to pre-
vent abuse. Additional legislation
should be enacted regulating common
carriers and other public service cor
porations and restraining the powers
of combinations of capital for pur.
posses of monopoly and restraint of
legimate competition.
We heartily commend the last leg
islature for the enactment Of a de
pository law by which all interests on.
state deposits is paid into the state
treasury and by means of which
the state treasury is enriched from
fifteen to twenty thousand dollars per
annum.
We favor party nomination of post
masters for presidential post-offices
by popular vote of the resident party
electors of the municipality in which
the postoffice is located.
We favor the repeal of the law re-
quiring publication of insurance state
ments.
We commend the act of the last
Legislature in dividing the state into
two congressional districts and urge
the approval of this act by the peo
pie to the coming November election.
We commend the conservative, up
right and business like administration
of Governor Vessey and his associates
and pledge our hearty support to the
entire republican ticket nominated at
at the recent primary election.

Local Teams Probably Will
Combine and Play Exhibi-

Though Manager Blanford has not
vet definitely decided what action his
team will take relative to the with
drawal of the North End team from
the Peninsula League, it is probable
that the Athletics also will quit the
league and combine with the North
Enders. If this is done series OF
exhibition games will be played dur

day. but if a game cannot be arranged
with that nine, the locals will play

other myssery stirred the people OF
Nelson county. when the body Of an
cd man named McGann. whose first
name is thought to be Meredith, was
found lying ola the porch Of his lonely
hut about two miles from here this
morning by passerby. The brains Of
the dead mans head covered the
floor There was hole in the top
OF his head.
Although no weapon was found
near IL is supposed that he was killed
by charge from shot gun. and the
absence OF e weapon leads TO the be-
lief that he was murdered in cold
blood as he sat upon his porch. This
belief is strengthened by the fact.
that a neighbor heard a glnslot in
the direction Of McGann's place last
evening about dusk, and II was this

TAFT WILL SEND CRANE
TO FEEL WESTERN PULSE
Senator is Called to Beverly
for Conference on the
Political Situation.
CBy Associated Pressl

BEVERLY, MASS. July 29.-Sena-
tor Winthrop Murray Crane. OF
Massachusetts. who occupies in the
senate a position similar to that OF
the Republican whip" in the house
of representatives, was summoned tn
Beverly today by President Taft for
2 long conference.
Senator Crane Is perhaps the
closest political adviser the Presi-
dent has. He was asked by the
President to make a trip through the
West in the near future, going as far
as Seattle. Wash. He will inquire
into political conditions in the states
through which ne travels.
The President is said to desire his
information first hand. He has the
utmost confidence in Senator Cranes
political sagacity.
During the last session of congress
Mr.. Taft relied absolutely upon Sena-
:or Crane and often made him the
means of communicating the admins
tration's views to the senate.
In selecting an emIssary to the
middle and far West the President
naturally turned to Senator Crane.
The senator has already made a few
quiet trips of observation and dis
cussed what he had learned with the
President today. Mr.. Taft is anxious
&c have an impartial survey made OF
the field.
He believes that an outsider can
get and give better understanding
OF the situation in the differept states
than the leaders actively engaged in
the politics of the various common
wealths.
Today's action Is regarded as one
OF the most important political moves
Mr.. Taft has ever made
The senator's visit was surroUndt
with the greatest secrecy
The report that Senator Crane !
to include Seattle In his journeying, If
he accepts the commission given him
by the President today, brought out
the fiat denial, that Mr.. Cranes visit
to the President had anything 10 do
with the BaIlinger-Pinchot controvs
sy. II is stated with authority that
the President never has considered
aid never will consider, asking Sec
rotary Ballinger to retire from 1,
cabinet.
Another significant move made by
the President today was the an
nouncement that Mr.. Taft bad called

otherwise. that he made in the diff
.ere1t parts OF the country for this

Capt. Darling, Mr.. Junken and Sec
rotary Holmes said they did not de-
sire to see the Newport News North
Enders drop out of the league. but
that Capt. Powell had placed himself
In the position OF being president
and manager of the league or else
his team would quit. They were un-
willing to see this and the resigna-
ton was accepted.
Manager Powell then left the meet
ing of the directors and when he
appeared among his players on the
street the men declared that he had
acted as they wished him to do.

Following the action of the North
End team In Withdrawing from the
league the board of directors unani'
mously elected Smithield TO member

will be delighted at becoming mem
bers of the Peninsula league. IL was
decided that the game in Phoebus

test will be played of some day next
week. Smithfield was unable 10 get

positively say whether his team Will

game this afternoon. North End
Owns a part of the park in Newport
News and this feature will have to be
settled before Mr.. Blanford can give
a definite decision.
Smithfield will use the Hampton
park for all of her games for the rest
of this season, so that from now on
the local people will be able to see
lames at home every Saturday after
noon.
There was considerable sorrow
ever the fact that North End left
the league. but the Hampton, Phoebus
and Fort Monroe fans feel that the
board of directors could not have
acted otherwise.
