Why do the automobile drivers
persist In violating the speed ordi-
nance on the streets Of our city.
This thing will be kept up till some
one Is killed or seriously hurt and
then there will be great howl of
indignation. Wonder II the police
never see any one exceeding the
speed limit? Wonder II the autoists
have special license to violate city
ordinances? Boys, this is really
dangerous business and you should
hold down the speed little.

Growth of Beet Sugar.

Some persons still sneer at the beet
sugar industry, which is protected In
the tariff, though slightly. But it is
growing industry Twenty years
ago, after the idea first caught fol-
lowers in this country, we produced
8, 900, 600 pounds of sugar, all told.
Last year we produced .O24, OOo, OOO
pounds from the beet fields. We used
to send the money for this sugar to
Germany and to other European
countries where the culture Of beets
for sugar was well advanced. Is 1t
not better to pay these vast sums to
the farmers and gardeners Of the
United States and to the thousands

Watterson Still a Free / raider.
"No less than of old we fly and
shall continue to fly the flag of a
Tariff for revenue only. No less
ihan of old we assert and shall
continue to assert that the
government has no right, in law or
guilty, to levy and collect dollar
# taxation except for its own
support. No less than of old we
proclaim and shall continue to pro-
claim the truth that Protection is
robbery under the form of law"
That sounds like Henry Watterson,
and it is Henry Watterson, in
doubled loaded editorial In the
Louisville Courier Journal. More
over, it is the voice of the Demo-
cratic party. Fortunately for the
country, perhaps, while all Demo
Gratis theoretically accept that
platform, many of them balk at its
practical application when the in
terests and productions of their
districts and state are concerned.
Nevertheless, it shows what tie
country would be entitled to expect
SHOULD the Democracy again get
complete control of the government.

Wesley will be Nominated

!. Every day adds additional evidence
/ that Robert S. Wesley will be nominal,
! ed to succeed himself as governor by
the people of this grand young state,
because he has been faithful to the
trust imposed upon him. The state
was never more prosperous, the
people never happier, nor prospects
brighter for the future.
Not a scandal has marred Vessey's ad.
ministration. not a charge Of corrup.
tion against state officials, while
state affairs have been managed
carefully and we'll. The new capital
is completed, state finances are In
good condition, property all owe the
state has Increased in value, and
South Dakota leads all other states as
a producer of per capital wealth.
! These are some Of the reasons why.
Robert s. Vessey should be reelected
governor. The people have confidence
In his honesty and integrity, and
know that while he is governor the
interests of the people will be pro-
tected against trust combines and
corporation grating.
Every former Elrod supporter knows
that he obeyed orders from. the
machine bosses and railroad agents.
and opposed the primary in his
message to the legislature before the
petition had been even presented to
that body. He opposed every measure
In support Of Roosevelt in his great
battle with the corporations, and
showed such willingness to obey the
enemies of the people that they turn
ed him down by over 400 majority in
the state convention when he was
up for a second term. The corpo-
rations want him governor again
because they would have a free hand
In state affairs as far as he could
help them. The corporations do not
like to submit to laws that deny
them special privileges, and by over
turning a government of the people,
as represented In Gov. Wesley, they
hope to regain corrupt power through
Elrod.
One feature Is specially noticeable in
the present campaign and that is the
Indifference of republicans generally
nwards Elrod's candidacy. Those
Tho supported him before care little
1rhim now, and we believe two-thirds
d his former supporters will vote for
Gov. Wesley, because no republican
can find fault with him. He has
made good. A vote for Wesley Is a
vote for decent government.

PROT. Lawrence Popular

The LEADER brought Prof. G. w.
Nash's name before the people for
state superintendent, and had the
honor and pleasure Of doing the same
for state superintendent Ustrud, be-
lieving at the time, and justified by
results, that it was presenting two of
the best men In the state for this
highly Important office.
The ONCE of the state superinten-
dent is not connected with politics in
any sense of the word. and 1t is a
blessing that it Is not, for politics
and education don't mix well. Our
school system demands the best care
that an educated, progressive, people
can give It, and our rural schools
represent the future liberty, indie
pendence and wealth of the people,
and with this In view and a desire to
ecure the best man in tile state for
superintendent, the LEADER and
many prominent educators induced
Prof. Lawrence to become a candidate
and he accepted.
The LEADER Is proud of the tlatter-
ing reception Prof. Lawrence received
from prominent educators, school
teachers and county superintendent
Ill over the state, and several prom
inent candidates for the same office
pulled out Of the race and rendered
their support to the big hearted big
man from Lincoln county, and after
the educators came the people. They
had heard Of the magnificent work of
Prof. Lawrence In Lincoln county in
promoting corn growing and domestic
science among the boys and girls in
rural schools, and SO pleased we're
they with the reports that he was In
vited Into many Of the big counties
TO tell the school officers, teachers
and farmers how 1t was done. He is
known all over the state as the leader
in . new system Of rural school educa-
tion that means better farmers and
better housekeepers, and as an
evidence Of how well his work is ap-
preciated It Is only necessary to state
thAt when he appeared on the plat
form Of the opera house in Webster
three weeks ago, he was greeted with
cheers, and It was his first visit to
Webster or Day county. This demon
strati0n from strangers tells the story
q how his splendid work is received.
It expressed the opinion Of fathers
Who desire to 9 their boys and girls
educated along lines that will make
