Davis Goes Dry

Yes, the town is dry by vote of
81 to IA and while it had been
known for some time that the town
would go dry no such decisive ma
Jorlty was expected. The result
came as a happy surprise to the
friends OF Temperance and was re-
ceived by the uninitiated as almost
too good to be true. Judging by
the remarks made bv the citizens
upon the streets, most of whom wore
the smile that won't come off, the re-
suit was quite satisfactory.
In such land slide of public sem
timent one is led to wonder what is
the cause for there must be some
reason when town nominally high
license makes such a radical change
of front. AS the first and formost
reason it seems that the people are
tired of their town being the mecca
for all the thirsty from all the sur
rounding dry towns and had awak-
ened to the fact that the trade
brought them by this class is of no
real benefit to the town. A further
reason the strenuous campaign
OF the temperance people led bv Rev
Book has done much to enlighten
the people on the subject and helped
them to look upon the question in
it's right light.
All honor to the merchants and
business men of Davis who had the
courage to vote their convictions
and let us bespeak for Davis an era
OF business prosperity such as she
has never seen before.

Moses Kaufman fell dead on
the street in Sioux Falls Tues
day death being due to heart
failure. AS a brewer, politician
and, recently, as the defender of
his wife in the famous murder tri :
al, he had become widely known
in the state. In the davs of his
prime as a lobbyist he was prob
ably more powerful and more
hated by the prohibitionists than
any other representative of the
liquor interests. After his wife's
t oubles he ceased to participate
in public affairs. He was a sue
cessful business man and of per-
sonal integrity and in the opin-
ion of many his sufferings of the
past few years will atone for
much of his previous life.

Ilackell S1fcnuOuSlN because ne
supported them in the same
way. And this same activity
that won the support Of the rep
/ resentativcs lost that Of the sen
ators. That is all There is to
the matter 1t is politics and
spoils with the whole crowd.
The Canton News has an ar
ticle on the Canadian reciprocity
treaty that is so fair and earnest
that we are glad to accept its in
vitation and discuss the matter
in the same way The News
comedies that reduction Of the
tariff on wheat cannot make
mach difference To either coun-
4 try SO long as both raise wheat
/ for export. But fears that the
/ Canadian competition in feed
grains will injnre the American
farmer. The Herald would re-
| lply that in general the price of
meat makes the price of feed
grains and world consumption
makes the price of meat. If
feed grains are cheap our farm
ers can fatten their hogs and
cattle cheaper and if grain is
high it costs them more to feed.
Most farmers are feeders and if
the feeding shows a profit it is
all they ask. The price of feed
grain is important only in it's re-
lation to other things. Where
the News and the Herald really
differ is in their attitude toward
protection itself. Certainly if
protection really brings prosper
| ity the farmer is entitled to his
share. And if it is largely hoax
the sooner the farmer is unde-
ceived the better. For the great
prosperity of this country has
come largely through free
trade among the states. Euro
pean countries far smaller than
South Dakota are trying to Gre
ate prosperity by building tariff
wallis. Can they do it? The
sole argument of the high tariff
advocates has been that prosper
Iity has followed high tariffs.
With most people this lis an un-
I ansWerable argument. But Edi-
tor Nash is one who knows that
it is not conclusive. TO arrive
at the truth one must inquire
whether the antecedant fact real
ly caused the effect. The real
animus of this bitter fight over
Canadian reciprocity is that the
high tariff advoca es see in this
move the entering wedge of low
er duties and they will wreck
the whole republican party ra-
ther than see an unfriendly hand
laid on single sacred schedule.
And also because it is the enter
ing wedge the Herald believes
that the insurgents in congress
should drop technical objections
and pass it and then go after
more reductions. The News be-
lieves in the infallibility of a
high tariff and is therefore con-
sistent in fight ng the pact. If
Editor Nash would only free
himself from traditional preiu-
dice (the same prejudice that the
Herald editor has had to strug.
lie against he would be able to
see that there is no more need of
tariff between this country and
Canada than there is for one be-
tween the several states.

Not ten years ago Turner Coun-
ty was considered one of the
h opelessly wet counties of the
state. There were saloons in
every town and village within
its borders. Today the splendid
record scored above has been
achieved. The saloons are now
confined to the smaller hamlets
of the county. The fiction that
they help business is exploded
Let Chancellor, Dolton and Mar.
ion revel in their booze. In the
end they too will come to their
senses and repent of their folly.

In the interests of truth the
Herald will have to refute the
oft published statement in sew
eral former Kittredge papers
that Senator Galnoie procured
the rejection OF IS post
master because Tsauaett had
severely criticized Gamble. The
fact is that.the New Era never
had anything to say about Gam
Bile in critical way It simply
ignored the matter when he was
under fire. The Gamble hostil-
ity Il due to factional politics.

After fight of three months
duration the Iowa legislature Sc
lected Judge Kenyon for the
Dolliver succession. Kenyon is
not very well known up here
bpt his election seems TO be
pleasing more men OF both fac

seemed possible to please a few
months ago.

Those who are predicting such
an easy defeat for Senator Gam
bic next year may have a sur
prise when the primaries are
over. Somehow Gamble has al
ways had pretty good success as
vote getter and With the oppo-
sition divided among three or
four candidates it is not impossi-
BILE that the Yankton man should
come in with plurality nomina-
tion. This is not meant as a
boom for Gamble but simply
calls attention to the fact that
his opponents will have to get
together or they will find his
candidacy something more than
joke.

PROGRESSIVES
ELECT OFFICERS

City eleetion last Monday was
more exciting than had been an.
ticipated, and the fact that two
tickets were in the field cansed
considerable interest at the polls.
The saloons were closed during
the day and no drunken men
were around the polls. Voters
cast their ballots in an intelli-
gent manner with the result
that but one ballot was thrown
away, on account Of marking in
too many candidates. In all 127
votes were cast. The first ticket
in the field was put up by the
progressives and was elected in
full. The votes received by the
various candidates were as fol.
lows: Councilmen for two-year
term, Otis Campbell. 81, John
Portwood. S5, Jas. d. Burns, 73,
John Randall, II; Corncilmen
for one year term, Chas. II.
Williams, SO. Dan Thouvenel,
4s. City Treasurer, A, B. Rob-
ertson, l04, no opposition. City
Recorder, M. Fitzmaurice. 81,
no opposition, but quite a mum.
DER Of complimentary votes
were cast for II. A. Hartshorn.
II is expected that these men
will inaugerate a new business
policy and conduct the affairs ef
the city in the same manner that
a successful business man would
conduct his own private affairs.
They deserve the support of
every citizen Of Condor.

Sunday when the Wheeler Coun-

second game of the sesaon. The
weather was to blame for great
deal of the poor playing, but the
players did more than their share
of 1t. The game was called at the
end of the seventh inning to
(llow the Condor players to re-

end of the game the score stood
16 to 10 in favor of Fossil. The
errors were about equally divided
between the two teams and the
hits the same. The batteries
for the two teams were, for
Fossil, Stinchfield and Bqsby;
for Condor, Sheldon and Hollen.
