IF THE people Of the state wish to
return to railroad domination all they
have to do is to reject Wesley and en-
dorse Elrod for governor. The latter
has the backing Of the roads because
he would not make effective the re-
duced freight rates, passenger fares or
compel the roads to respect the rights
Of the people.

FROM various sections, particularly
in the eastern part of the state, comes
accounts of voters enlisting in the
campaign as "Vessey Stalwarts."
They are men who have heretofore
been with the stalwart wing of the
party who are now openly supporting
Gov. Wesley. They are not office seek.
ers in any sense Of the word. They
are men who have made success of
life, to the extent of heing in BUSH
ness for themselves or otherwise we'll
employed. They are rallying to Gov.
Vessey's support purely because they
have faith in him and believe the
state needs the services of such man.
They recognize that he is man of
character and integrity whose ambi-
tion is to serve the people to the best
of his ability-not as partisan but
as a representative of all the people
and their varied interests. Right
here in the Black Hills the same spirit
Is manifested, and it is likely many
thousands of stalwarts will be found
to have voted to continue the state
administration.

The board that investigated con-
ditions at state charitable institutions
recently has presented its report, find
ing inmates well cared for and places
properly managed. 1t is noted, how
ever, that the hospital for the feeble
minded at Redfield is badly in need of
more room on account of the increas-
ed number of inmates; and that the
school for deaf mutes at Sioux Falls
Is In need of a dormitory. The in
creased demand on these institutions
is due to the advancement of the
state in various ways. 1t is likely the
matter will be presented at the com
ing session of the legislature and some
means taken to improve the comforts
Of unfortunates.

Burke says: "If l have to be elected

statements, Burke comes near the
true situation. He will quit his job"
at the expiration of his term, for it's
foregone conclusion he will not be
elected by progressives. Martin will
find it's better to be q progressive

The arrangements being made in
the great cities of this and foreign
countries emphasize the feeling for
Theodore Roosevelt. He Is soon to
return from Africa and the people are
ready and willing to receive him in a
fitting manner. He endeared himself
to the people by his faithfulness in
their behalf as well as his disregard
for trusts and greedy rich. No other
man has been so close to the hearts Of
the people since Lincoln. Roosevelt
policies are fully endorsed by the pro-
gressives of South Dakota and it is a
desire for their continuance that there
is such a faction as progressive repub-
licans in existence.

MARTINS LETTER ANALYzED.
Judged purely in the light Of hi.
expressions ct the Huron conference
and since, the people must pass OF
the sincerity Of Hon. Eben w. Martin
AT the Huron conference, while ad
dressing the assemblage, he was un
derstood by numerous people to say:
The progressive republicans are
imitation republicans, belong to the
democratic party and l never was FOL
harmony with them"
In his letter accepting the request
OF committeeman Of the old republic
can organization in the Hills, that he
run for Office again, he refers to the
fundamentals Of republicanism, on
which all are agreed, then says:
sThere are honest differences Of
opinion on questions of administra-
ton, state and national.
.sCitizens have ) right to exercise
their choice Of candidates for public
positions
These questions can be fought out
1t the primaries. "
In one statement he refuses to rec
ogntze progressive republicans as re-
publicans. In another he recognizes
Thorn g republicans and says: "Citi-
1ens have : right to express their
choice Of candidates for public po-
sitions." BY the word citizens" he
Includes every voter any and all po-
litical parties and factions; thereby
recognizing the right Of citizens to be
progressive even on administrative
matters and still be republicans and
is none other than an admission by
omission that progressive republicans
of South Dakota are really republic
cans Yet they are the ones he de-
nominated as Limitation republican,"
while ct Huron, and those whom he
thought should be in the democratic
party.

The Aberdeen News observes: "The
Black Hills possesses one honest demo-
craft. When the members of that party
in conference at Huron voted to refrain
from participating in republican pri-
maries, thereby revoking their habit
OF two years ago, this honest democrat
came out with an announcement that
he would no longer act with the demo-
cratic party, but would become an out

MARCHED AND MUNCHED.
The Soldiers Who Didn't Steal the
Apples Ate Them.


A reprimand which takes the form
of joke is sometimes more efectual
than burst OF anger. Such an exam
pie was furnished by a Confederate
officer and described by 4. o. Moore In
his Anecdotes of General Cleburne."
The southern army, marching across
the mountains Of Georgia, had Its sup
ply trains cut of and was obliged to
live upon the country.
Apples, chestnuts and persimmons
were plenty. but the army had strict
orders not to depredate upon private
property. One day | was trudging
along In the rear of General Gran
bury's brigade when saw down the
road General Cleburne sitting on the
top rail OF fence, while below him
lay FIVE or six bushels Of fine red ap-
pies. Near by stood number OF sol
dlers, who looked as mean as men
could look.
General Granbury saluted General
Cleburne, who remarked:
I'm peddllng apples today"
Flows thntT
"These gentlemen" pointing TO the
soldiers who had stolen the apples,
"have been very kind. They have
gathered apples for me and charged
nothing. I'll give them to you and
your men. Now get down aud take
one, and each OF your men take one
only one, mind you-until all are
gone"
The invitation was accepted, the
men cheering for "Old Pat" When
the apples were gone the general made
each man who had stolen the apples
carry a rail for mile or two.

"F0RT BLUNDER."
II Was Erected by Our Government on
Canadian Soil.

1dnadidn Oous
1t is not generally known that our
government once undertook TO erect a
fort ON British soil. The site of this
fort, afterward called Fort Montgom-
cry, was about half mile northeast
OF Rouses Point, N. Y, not far from
the foot Of Lake ChamplOin. Popular
ly It was known as Fort Blunder."
IL appears that after the war OF 1912
our government felt the necessity Of
guarding the entrance to Lake Cham
plain. Accordingly in 1915 was begun
the erection OF Fort Montgomery. The
original notion was TO construct
great fort. In those days that meant
n fort with three tiers Of guns.
When the work had been In hand
for some time It was discovered that,
owing to an error Of early surveyors,
the actual boundary between New
York and Canada, the forty.nfth par
allel Of north latitude, passed south of
the fort. Work on the fort was sus-
pended for about twenty I've years,
and not until the year 1Si2 wns the
territory restored to the United States.
The agreement known as the Web
ster-Ashburton treaty, establishing the
northeastern boundary, made the line
between New York and Canada con
form to the old and incorrect early
survey. Thus Fort Blunder" was
again on United States territory. The
people OF Maine, It Is said, never quite
forgave Daniel Webster for giving up,
as they claimed he did, great slice Of
territory to which they thought them
selves entitled In order to save Rouse's
Point.
After the boundary question was set.
tied the fort was finished, but II was
never manned by more than sufficient
men TO keep II In order, and II was
never armed.-IIarpcr's Weekly.
