NEW PARTY MOVEMENTS.

New York Globe: No year passess
without the drawing of prospectus
for new political party. 1t is the
fovorite occupation OF theorists and
supecnlators. But the new party
never gets into being. One or the
other OF the existing parties adapts
itself to the new popular demands.
In 1902 it looked for time as if the
populists party might become q
permanent third party force. But
the men in sympathy with populism
found it easier to capture the demo-
cratic party. Great sums of money
have been spent in third party prom :
o1ion, but with no other return than
an Irish dividend. The "insurgent''
leaders, politicians of experience, are
familiar with American political
history, and are not counting on q
change in its tendency. After the
nominations are madein 1912 and
and the platforms adopted there is
likely to bea good deal Of shifting
between the parties, as there was in
1896, but appearance Of new party
with formidable following is q
negligible possibility.

PREPARE FOR THE CAMPAIGN

Special: 1t is expected that within
the next three or four weeks the
republicans will open state head
quarters in Sioux Falls preliminary
to opening and waging on aggressive
campaign. No efforts will be spared
to carry the election in November by
the largest possible majority. 10 a
certain extent the democratic state
campaign has already been opened,
Chauncey l.. Wood, of Rapid City,
the democratic nominee for governor
having a few days ago made the
opening address of his campaign.
Bnt it is likely he will not continue
actively in the field until the demo-
Gratis open up headquarters, which will
be some weeks in the future. The
bulk of the campaign on the part of
both the republicans and democrats
will be waged during the months of
September and October, and up to
the election in November.

ONLY FUEL FOR FLAMES

The senate has had a committee to
investigate the matter of the govern
ment printing Office, and they have
concluded that it cost So, 400 a year
for every senator for documents.
Most of the documents are never
used, and as many Of one kind is
printed as another. Millions of them
are on hand in Washington and can
not even be distributed. Every
congressman and eX-congressman in
the country has hundreds of useless
volumes, and every postotliee in the
country has lots of the junk to
destroy nearly every day in the year
1t is such useless expenditures in
public life that helps make the high
cost Of living all along the line. Ii

printing office it could get work done
cheaper. Many departments anC

MISSIONARIES BAN1sHED,

Cable advices state that 81 Mormon
missionaries were expelled from Ger
many last week and the missionary
organization Of the polygamous HER
archy was compelled to move it's
European headquarters from Berlin.
The German government took the
position that the teachings of the
Mormon missionaries were menacing
morality.
subsequently lao leading members
of the cult were banished. No pro-
test was made. The Mormons obeyed
orders and moved on, having no de-
Tense.
Investigation demonstrated that
Germany contains 5000 converts to
the Church of the Latter Day Saints
The world over it boasts of a men,
bership of half million, IS per
cent Of them residing in the United
States and Canada, chiefly in the
inter-mountain region.
There are large colonies in Mexico,
where there is no attempt to conceal
the polygamous relations of the
followers of the prophet.
Germany is wiser than other christ
ian countries, recognizing the danger
Of the teachings of the Mormons. In
the United States the crime of poly
gamy is winked at in pursuance of a
political deal that is fully as disgrace
full as the polygamous practices of the
protected saints.

The immigration and information
bureau of the Commerce and Labor
at Washington boast Of
having placed not less than 5000 i'm
in permanent positions on
farms within two years and a half.
This is SO far encouraging. The work
is evidently slow, but those who are
guild to the farms seem to be inclined
to stay there, only twenty or thirty Of
the 5000 having drifted back to the
cities; and those remaining will be
apt to have an influence with their
friends and relatives in Europe who
intend to emigrate, in drawing them
to the same destination. There is
reported TO be no lack of demand for
farm labor, 1t is now quite as keen

Holton, Kan. July 25. -SenatorA. B +.
Cdmmlns, OF Iowa, speaking before a
sweltering chautauqua audience here
this afternoon, said that systematic
arrangement of competition, and that

troubles.
"The inroads which the monopolies
have made on our industries in the
past few years. he SAID "have made
it necessary for the republican party
to declare just what the doctrine of
protection is solely for the purpose
OF introducing competition. Those
entrusted with that duty have not re-
vised the tariff as was promised in
the republican platform.
