pect him to keep OF doing it.

While at Huron last week the
writer enjoyed a short Wit with B.
F. Farrell, travelling agent for this
division of the G, & n. W. In speak
ing of transportation, Mr. Farrell said
that not for many years had the G. q
N. w. encountered so much difficulty
from snow over its entire system as it
has this winter. Under normal con.
ditions about thirty locomotives are
in the passenger service on this divi
sion and for several weeks that mum.
Der had to be doubled thus denriy-
ing the freight traffic of that much
motive power. But matters are now
improving and the handling
of freight has increased to several

three weeks ago That traffic condi-
tons are improving on the G. & n. w.

week we received notice that the
embargo at Kasota against Chicago
transit stuff had been raised. The
prospects are good for transportion
soon TO be on a normal basis in this
part of the country.

part of a school section for a supply
yard and all indications point to the
early building of the road. The town
site for a new town has been located
four miles west and one mile north of
Osceola.

NOTHING THE MATTER

"What is the matter with South
Dakota?" Anxiously inquiries the
Sioux City Tribune. There's nothing
at all the matter with South Dakota,
says the Aberdeen News. South Da
kota is all right. Raising bigger
crops every year, opening up an In
dian reservation or two every year,
building a few hundred miles of rail.
roads every year, pulling off a redhot
political fight every two years up
and coming all the time. There is
nothing the matter with South Da.
kota. .

WHY THERE is A STALWART
FACTION

Cannon and Aldrich would like to
have the Sherman anti. trust law re.
pealed. but they are not hopeful that
this can be brought about. Notwith-
standing their great power 10 con
gress they realize that TO make such
an attempt would arouse such opposi
ton on the part of the progressive re
publicans, backed up by the solid sen
timent of the country, that they would
not dare insist, however, much the
special interests would like to see the
law repealed.
The progressive members OF con
gress, although apparently in the
minority, present a strong barrier be-
tween the peoples interests and the
special interests, preventing the lat.
ter from overriding the former. This
safeguard of the peoples rights, the
Cannon-Aldrich combination would
like to remove or cripple. 1t is a men
ace to the e~x;stance of every unlaw-
full trust and combination of wealth.
Because the order has gone out from
the Cannou-Aldrich organization, that
the progressive movement must be
checked, there is a fight on in the re-
publican party in South Dakota this
year. This is the only reason for the
fight. The cry of extravaganza is
merely a clio TX to hide the real pur-
pose which is to place the state in
the stalwart column and prevent the
progressive forces from gaining any
additional strength. No congress-
man should be elected from South Da-
kota who is not above suspicion OF
any combination or compromise with
Cannon, Aldrich and the special in,
t~erests.
If there were no such interests in
Washington, desperately trying to re.
tain their hold on the government Of
the Uuited States, there would be nc
stalwart candidate against Governel
Vessey in South Dakota this year
Despite the fact that many stalwarts
desired party harmony, they were mo-
allowed to have their way. The in
~terests of the party in South Dakots
and in the nation; thu desires of th,
true republicans in this state: thefl
home interests and the interests of the
} farmers and the consumers are a.
nothing to the billions which are rep
resented bv the sugar trust. the tobac
co trust, the beef trust, the oil trusr
and the interests which are seeking
TO retain control of the o
, the country.
:, No ane man will argue that these
interests can carry cut their plan.
through the progressive faction in am
state. They can succeed only through
stalwart representatives. That is why
J there are stalwarts. If there were nc
land-grabbing monopolistic conbina
tons of wealth, there would be pt
need Of a faction within the republic
an party to assist them in their de
! signs on the country.
} The endorsement of cheap railroad
rates and other progressive measures
is only . blind to deceive the people
These stalwarts opposed these things
as long as they had any chance Of d.
! featinG them. When q progressive

The prohibitionists of South Da-

at Sioux Falls February % and %, at

Every year about this time we
have advised farmers to treat their
seed grain, especially wheat, to pre-
vent the growth of smut. We will
admit that we are without much in
auence in this regard. There are
some good farmers who have in the
past, and will in the future, treat their
seed grain. There are others who
will not treat it if you write about il
every week 10 the year. One reason
Why this Is SO is the fact that compe,

local market has been such that nc
