'Pretending to stand before the
country as a simple man, favoring low
expenditures, he has in reality pro-
noted loot and plunder without stint,
if it would reward his henchmen or
serve factional end; pretending to
the democratic simplicity and making
display of homely language and
mesnest manner, he has been the bul
work of every plot and the cabal of
the aristocracy to swindle, cheat and
oppress the people. Don't be deceived
by that pose of a great commonor.
He has been the living, breathing
denial of the right of this people to a
representative government ever since
his ascension to power.

THERE is one thing about our pres
ent primary law that is not to our
liking, viz: the making of the plat
form after the nomination of candi-
dates has been made. The present
method forces a man to support any
fool idea that may creep into the
platform, or, to certain extent
abandon his party. 1t also results in
some ridiculous situations At this
time we have republican nominees in
this state who never did believe in
progressive principles, and do not
now believe in some of the principles
set forth in our republican platform.
By making the nominations before
the platform is announced certain
candidates are able to secure a place
on the ticket when they would not
come within forty rows of apple trees
of nomination if they had to go be-
fore the people on the real issue.

his Harrington, Kan, speech.
The old hypocrite boasts of his re-
publicanism and brands his betters
as democrats, but Cannon made a
deal with Tammany democrats to
save himself. Cannon is everything
but a true representative of the peo-
pie. But it takes Representative
Murdock, of Kansas, to paint verb
al picture of Cannon which he does
in the following language:
Cannon, for thirty years, has been
opposed to locomotion in any direc-
ton. For over quarter of a century
he has stood out against progress.

life he has opposed about all the pro-

of it has managed to creep into the
statute books. He opposed the fed
eral inspection of meats, stood oppos-
ed to irrigation, the currency reform,
the pure food laws, the civil service
reform and practically all the pro-
gressive Legislation since the civil war.
Cannon, while posing as partl-
san, as an ardent advocate of party
fealty, played in the dark with Tam
many. He did not hesitate to rejoice
when his boon companion Lorimer, OF
Illinois, was elected to the United
States senate by the coalition with
democrats and by a deal that was

FARMERS COMING BACK

That fifteen thousand northwestern
farmers who left this section of the
country for Canada, tempted by the
rosy-tinted advertising put out by the
Canadian government, and the Canad-
ian railroads, have returned to the
Uuited States in the last nine months
is the significant statement just put
out by Clarence j. Blanchard, statis-
tician of the reclamation service, OF
| Washington. These men were induced
to leave good thing in the hope of
finding better but they are now
coming back in great numbers, pocket
ing their loss, and with the determin-
alton never again to be tempted to
leave this section of the country.
South Dakota contributed many
hundreds of these Canadian emigrants.
Why any one should have left South
Dakota for the Canadian experiment
is more than the Argus-Leader can
understand, but that they did leave in
large numbers several years ago is
past dispute. 1t is now stated that
they are thoroughly sick Of their ex-
pertinent and are coming back, Many
have already returned; others will do
SO when they can raise the money.
The American settlers were dissatisfied
with the character of the land the
crops from which, they alleged, con
sisted principally of alfalfa and such
hardy grains as winter wheat, and
even these were not sure. The form
of government did not appeal to them,
and they considered the railroad
freight rates exorbitant. The climate
was a source of dissatisfaction, ice and
snow in August and September OF iasi
year adding to their discomfort.
Those who have returned say that
practically every American farmer in
the neighborhood of Alberta where
the Canadian government maintains
an irrigation project, ''is anxious tc
get back if he can sell his holdings
For many years, South Dakota has
produced larger per capita of new
wealth than any other state in the
union. For the past five years the
value of farm lands has been increas-
ing rapidly. The demand for South
Dakott farm land this year is greater
than ever before, and again this year
the state is maturing a great crop
The farmers of South Dakota are its
most prosperous class, and it is not
surprising that those who left the
state in foolish day, are using ev.
cry effort to repair the mistake and
to return to the wider money making
opportunities OF South Dakota.

As an instance of what the Payne.
Aldrich tariff bill does to reduce the
price of manufactured articles to the
consumer we might cite the matter
of automobile tires, which have re-
Gently listed at an advance of 20 per
cent. There were two large rubber
concerns in this country before the
new tariff law; there is but one now,
the Tntercontinental. There is a pc
culiar coincidence in connection
with this. Aldrch, the senior in the
senate, insisted on a higher tariff for
rubber, and as soon as the higher tar
iff was secured Aldrich the junior is
at the head of the great trust. An.
other peculiar thing about this rub
Der business is that we do not pro
duce a pound of rubber and the tar
if law allows free impOrtatiOns Of raw
rubber and places the increased tariff
all on the manufactured product.
Thus we see that this tariff was made
exclusively for the Aldrich crowd.
The government doesn't even get a
cent out of the deal in the way of
tariff. And yet some people have the
nerve to stand up and defend the late
tariff abortion.

JUST now there is considerable dis
cussion among the newspapers of the
state over the plank in the republican
platform demanding the repeal of the
law requiring the publication of
insurance statements. A few contend
that the platform plank is a good one,
and give as a reason that newspaper
support in the campaigns is purchased
by the use of this patronage by the
faction or party in power. Perhaps
this is true to certain extent. Those
editors who contend that this is so
doubtless speak the truth. They
know better than anyone else whether
they eau be bought at the price men
toned. But such as can be purchas-
ed will be bought in the future
through some other method when
their services are deemed of any
value. The truth is there is not one
good argument in favor of abolishing
the publication of insurance state
ments. The makers of the platform
did not want such a plank, but some
concession had to be made to a dis
turbing element and the convention
thOughtlessly consented to this plank
as the easiest way to satisfy an ele
ment that wanted several crazy
features incorporated in the platform.
Publicity is one of the reforms that
have been demanded in the effort to
control corporations, and the republi.
can party in this state is now in the
ridiculous position of opposing one of
the reforms it has been demanding.
We have heard the argument that no
one reads the statements and that if
they did they could not understand
them. 1t is true that some people do
not read them. and that some who do
cannot understand them The same
thing is true of bank statements which
are published four times a year, and
also true of the reports published by
the county auditor and treasurer.
But many people dc read them and
understand them. The good to be
derived from publicity of the affairs
of public corporation is in the fact
that it is the greatest possible check
upon the managing officers of that
corporation. When they know matters
are to be made public they hesitate to
enter into SHADY" transactions which
they would gladly enter into if there
was no chance of publicity. The
insurance companies are among the
greatest corporations of the country.
If publicity of their affairs is not
good, then publicity of the affairs of
any public corporation is not good.
The demand for publicity as check
upon corporations is all wrong accord
ing to the republican platform of this
state. The demand for the repeal of
the law requiring the publication of
insurance statements came from the
most unreliable politicians of the
state such as Dick Richards. Geo. w.
Egan, and G.. Nj. Day.

quarterly payment, but as a matter of
fact each quarterly payment only con-
stituted partial payment, for each
payment was made after a part of the
following quarter had accrued, and
thus the account became continuous
until the death OF the insane party.

To have reduced the account to Judge

a useless expense as the real property
