of q respected family, was caught re-

Mr. Mossman took him into the en-
ploy of the mercantile company at

proved worthless and his dismissal be-
came necessary. Returning to Lara

PEACE COMES AFTER
FOUR HOURS OF BATTLE
Progressive Wing OF Republican Party
or South Dakota Meets and
Adopts Platform.

Huron. S. d, Feb, 25.--After battle
of four hours, peace settled over the
oonferencercf the progressive wing or
the Republican party OF South Dakota
at midnight.
r o. Richards of Huron was made
chairman of the campaign committed
and Gov. Vessey will be the Republic
an party leader on a platform which is
the embodiment of tho ideas of the
leaders of both the Richards faction
and the faction led by E. L. Sem.
which opposed Richards.
The platform says in part:
I'VE commend President Taft for his
reiterated. declarations OF loyalty to
the Roosevelt principles of progressive
Republicanlsm and pledge his adminis-
tratlon the support of the progressive
Republicans of South Dakota in its eff
forts to obtain the enactment of legis-
latlon embodying those principles.
The dominating Issue in the coming
campaign is the wrestling Of control or
national legislation from special inter-
ests intrenched behind Speaker Cannon
of the house and leader Aldrich of the
senate and their supporters. 1t is not
sufficient that Speaker Cannon be re-
tired 1t is essential that a successor
be elected who is committed TO and IS
supporter of progressive principles.
The progressive Republicans OF South
Dakota will not support a candidate for
the primary who does not stand un-
equivocally on this platform.
1--WE believe the Payne tariff law
was a decided step in fulfilment of the
party pledge, but that inequalities yet
exist which should be remedied when
demonstrated to be such by the inves-
legations of the tariff commission.
I'VE denounce the practise of col
lecting moneys for political campaign
purposes from persons who hold or are
aspiring to appointive government
positions. and favor the prohibition
thereof by amendment OF the corrupt
practise act.
we favor the elimination OF the
personal spirit system by amendments
to the primary law to provide
how party nominations to all ap-
pointive government positions shall be
determined.
1--WE favor the nomination of post
masters for presidential postohices by
popular party elections who are resi-
dent patrons of the office.
I'VE favor an amendment to the
present corrupt practise act SO as to
eliminate therefrom the legality of
paying for men and teams to haul the
voters TO the polls"

Special Agent of Land Office
Stirred Up Things in the Bal

ATTACKED JAMES M. SHERIDAN
Told Committee and Counsel He Didn't
Care What Infcrcnccs Were Drawn
From His Testimony.

Washington Feb. 25.-The Balllnger-
Pinchot inquiry took an unexpected
turn today when Special Agent Horace

stand for the prosecution" and made
a sensational attack on James NJ
Sheridan. who wss sent by the land
office to Seattle last year to take
charge of the governments case In
hearings on the Cunningham coal
claims In Alaska Jones declared that
Sheridan had been graduated in law
only year or two; that his conduct
of the case was incompetent. and that
he had opposed to him two of the lead
Ing lawyers of Seattle.
Testfying for an hour or more as
to Sheridans conduct OF the case and
giving instances from which he wished
the committee to draw its own cOncu-
slons, Jones said he did not desire to
criticize Sheridan In any way. He said
Louis r. CLAWS was not lawyer, but
knew more law than Sheridan did. and
he thought 1t was a reflection on CLAWS
for the land office TO send Sheridan out
there TO take charge of case which
CLAWS had worked up.
Under cross examination Jones ap-
peared defiant and aggressive to mem
bers OF the committee and counsel alike
and said he did not care what infer
ences were drawn from his testimony.
Jones was still under cross-eXamina
tion when luncheon recess was taken
and 1t appeared that clifford Pinchot
would not be reached as a witness un-
til late in the afternoon.

PROF. STEINER FAVORS
UNRESTRICTED IMMIGRATION

New York. Feb. 25.-Prof Edward
A. Steiner of Iowa college. who is de-
liverlng course of lectures at Column
bia university. is in favor Of unre-
stricted immigration. In his first lee
ture he said:
There Is greater need in this coun-
try for men who are willing to work
with their hands than for men who
want to live by their wits. The 10000
immigrants who came To our shores
last year served far better purpose
than would an equal number OF uni
Versity graduates with hands uncal-
]ouscd and minds unwilling to begin
work at the bottom OF the ladder.
The argument that the country Is
Impoverished by withdrawal of the
money of returning immigrants Is fool
jsh Most OF the money taken abroad
goes in the wallets of Yankee tourists
expatrlatcs and heiresseS who are mar
rying into the nobility.
The Pilgrim Fathers were merely
steerage passengers on a par with
those of the present day"
