HINTS AT FEAR OF WAR"

Without taking formal action, the SEN
ate has practically approved the policy
Of the White House and Of the State De-
Hartment for non-intervention at present
In Mexico.
Efforts 10 get the Senate excited over
the killing of innocent Americans on
American soil as result Of the fighting
in Mexico and proc>;ings Of the Senate
committee on foreign relations have
failed; and today members Of the COM
mittee on foreign relations are generally
ndorsine the non-intervention policy.
They deplore the slaughter Of residents
of the United States. they say, but they
fear that intervention would endanger
the lives Of many more Americans living
in Mexico than are endangered by the
stray bullets that fly across the Rio
Grande
Senator Stone of Missouri. one member
of the foreign relations committee. does
not see the situation that way. In
speech on the floor of the Senate yester-
day afternoon he urged that some active
steps be taken by the military forces to
prevent further loss of life OF the Amer
lean side of the international border, de-
ploring the nOn-action of the administra-
tior and demanding to know If Ameri
cans had lost the spirit which in the

THE fear of war; therefore is the
deterrent that holds senators in check"
he remarked They are not willing to
take the hazard of conflict with Mex
leo, even though our own people may be
in dire need Of our protection; even
though American men, women and chill
dren are killed along the border. There
was a time in our history when Amer
| leans were made of rugged stuff and
would take the hazard of war to protect
the life and liberty Of single citizen II
his life and liberty were in danger.
"Then the American flag was an en-
blem of protection to American citizen
ship. Are we in this generation made OF
such soft material that we are afraid to
lift our hands to protect the lives of our
people. fearing. forsooth. that 1t might
involve us in war? II that Is true,

A BAD EXAMPLE

Some good is pretty sure to result
from the universal outcry over the
work of the late Legislature, +" declares
the Grant County News. There is a
general demand for better men for
legislative positions. Heretofore,
the voters have been careless in their
selections ana it required some such
example as the late legislative session
to awaken the public conscience. Be
cause man happens to be a good fell
low is no reason why he should be
sent to the legislature. The test of
fitness should be his integrity and
ability. An ignorant, honest man is
oftentimes as dangerous as dis
honest, smart man. The dishonest
man will, through fear refrain from
an over act, but the honest, ignorant
man will be led into all kinds of
schemes through his inability to
grasp the intent of the fellows who
are pulling the wires behind the
scenes. There are some good men in
the last legislature, but they We're in
the minority. If the people have
been awakened to the danger of send
ing unfit men to represent them, the
late legislature will have done some
good even if it had to be by horri-
BILE example.

SLEEPING THE YEARS AWAY
Two Doctors, Lifelong Friends, and
Were Friends of Mine, Dead.

Within the space of few days, this
month, two doctors died; one worn out
by over-work in the study of the cause
and cure of leprosy, the other victim
of meningitis, to the investigation he
was devoting himself.
Such occurrences are not rare. The
world IS wonted to the spectacle of the
physician risking and often surrender
his life, in order that medical science
may enlarge its boundaries, and his fell
low men be delivered from the fear of
death.
ct, behind behind seeming Indifference, lies
the deepest and sincerest tribute the
profession can hope to win. The wcrld
is the enemy he meets, and he faces him
in silence. He does not seek personal
glory or the spoil of conquest. His VIC
tory Is for others; his fatherland is the
world: his countryinrn the human race.
All he asks-and all he usually gets
is the consciousness of having lived SER
vceably and the appreciation of the
noble men, who, like himself, arc cm-
hstrd in the life long warefare against
disease and death.

There may be as many as seven and

The CASE OF JOHNSON

The state supreme court was the
center OF attraction on the hearing in
disbarment against Royal G. John
son, attorney. general of South Dako-
ta. The only oral testimony present
ed by the prosecution was on the
charge made by j A. Prostollo, that
johnson, as states attorney, began a
criminal action against him, based ca
the same facts
However, the record and the testi-
mony show that the civil case was
conducted by L. j. Auldredge, a
young attorney in the same office with
johnson, and that Auldredge en-
ployed A. b. Fairbank of Huron to
assist him in the case in question.
The only connection of Johnson with
the case was that Auldredge was en-
ployed in his office.
The testimony given by Fairbank
was that he waas employed By Aal
dredge in the case and that he had no
consultation with johnson himself
did not take the case. He was told
by Johnson in reply that he could not
do so on account of his connection
with the preliminary hearing on the
criminal complaint. Most of The
evidence consists of court records.

GROWING ALL THE TIME

Alfalfa is better than bank account.
for it never fails or goes into the hands
of a receiver. 1t is weather proof; for
cold does not affect it, and heat causes
it TO grow all the better. A winter flood
will not down it, and fire will not kill it.
AS borer, it is equal to a deep well
drill; it loves water and bores to reach
it. When growing it there is no stop
ping it. Begin cutting 20-acre field !;
when your last load is handled at one
end of the field it is ready to cut again
at the other end. For filling toe milk

WERE MANY RIG LEAKS
Stanley County Officials Get Away With
$4,000 of The Peoples Money.

For nearly year W. S. Mather, an
expert accountant, has been going over
the records of Stanley county, going
back TO the beginning of its organiza-
ton as county. There was some com
plant in regard to the county commits
sioners going to such an expense, as the
charge for the work was about $1,000.
Mather has completed his work and his
report has been filed. He shows that
the county has in the twenty years since
its organization lost over $50, 900 from
various causes, ranging all the way
from forgery to excusabe errors. He
places Sal ASS of this in the department
of the auditor; $2, S64 in the department

FOR THE SENATE
Belief is Growing that r. 0. Richards
May Enter the Race for Senaor
Richards May Get Into the Race

From those who are in position to
thoroughly understand the political sit
uation in this state, comes the informa-
ton that that Il. @. Richards oi huron, vino
is widely known as one of the original
progressive republicans of South Da-
kota, is candidate for United States
senate in the primaries of next years.
This warrants the belief that at least
there will be two candidates in the field
Hon. Robt. j. Gamble OF Yan<ton, and
Hon r. O. Richards Of Huron.
Some History
While other (9 progressive republi-
cans have since turned political contor-
tionists, prominent among the number
is Senator Gamble, r. O. Richards is
today contending, with more force, for
the same reform measures that he adj
vocated and materially assisted five
years ago. During all these years Mr..
Richards has, in no uncertain voice,
contended that the pledges made to the
people upon the organization Of the pro-
gressive republican league in South Da-
kota, should be fully redeemed, by the
enactment of measure into law by the
legislature Of 1909, correcting evils then
existing. Two legislatures have since
convened; each conveniently forgot all
about the pledges made five years ago
to the people of South Dakota contained
in platform, adopted at league con-
yention, by the league assembly at HUI
on, without dissenting voice,
The legislature of 1909 passed a faul-
ty law, purportlng to place railroad, ex-

Richards, who if there is any money
to be spent in another campaign viii
spend it upon his own candidacy in
stead of that of any other man.
Crawford May Go 1t Alone
| If Richards should win in the cam
paign next year against Senator
Gamble, it can be considered as pretty
certain that he will not go very far
towards assisting Crawford to re cleo
tion i'll the following campaign, as the
break between Richards and Craw-
ford is considered to be beyond the
healing stage. In other words the
Richards campaign might be looked
upon as two campaigns in one, with

the first.
