This ought to be a revelation to

factions among the people. Why
public officials or candidates should
be willing to trim their sails as they
have done in South Dakota. when
they know or should know that the
beople are practically agreed in sup
port Of all that makes for good gov
eminent, is beyond explanation.
When the m pan can be put for

for Senator within a year, it is not
challenging the fact to assert that
SO far as South Dakota's leadership
is concerned, it is exceedingly Cliff
cult to determine what is "stalwart"
and what is "progressive." But it
will all work out. The people know
their purposes and, they will not be
diverted from them. The time will
come when candidates and officials
will not consider whether they
SHOULD cut and trim in consideration
for an imaginary faction among the
voters. Then they will be assured
of their Offices.

THE PEOPLE ALL ONE WAY.

1t has been observed frequently
by The Republican that the factional
line within the republican party in
South Dakota has been obMterated;
that this was recognized in the last
campaign when both insurgent and
stalwart platforms were almost If
not entirely, alike In their declara-
tions. This was acknowledgment
that the great body Of voters in the
republican party in this state believe
in progressive principles.
That this is true not only Of
South Dakota but Of Iowa is indicat-
ed in an article upon the political
situation written by Samuel G.
Blythe and appearing in the Satur-
day Evening Post. What he says
|by way Of illustration in Iowa simply
confirms his observation that LA
Toilette is popular with the people
and strong, but he is not so popular
as the cause he represents-that is,
the sentiment of the republicans
Throughout the west is not so much
pro-La Toilette as it is anti-Taft."
Coming to Iowa, Mr.. Blythe tells
of a remarkable poll of sixty insurg-
ent republicans and sixty standpat
Republicans in one county, by q man
who wrote each Of them a letter in
|volving identical questions. Ninety
seven replies were received to the
letter, out Of the 100 addressed and
those replies were as follows:
/. Do you approve the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill? Yes, 10; no., IS.
2. Do you approve President
Taft's action in the Ballinger mat
tier? Yes. 2; no. 81.
8. Do you favor conservation as
taught by Roosevelt and followed by
IPinchot. or az proposed by Ballinger
and Taft? Roosevelt, 90; Taft, 2.
4. DO you approve the attack on

A. LESSON FOR LABOR.
If President Gompers had been at
all worthy of his position as presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, it would not now be true, as
it is, that the confession of guilt by
the McNamaras places the entire la
Dor union organization in a very COM
promising position.
This is Gompers' comment now:
Labor was grossly deceived. Only
Ia few days ago and just before the
close of the recent convention of the
American Federation Of Labor at At
lanta, we received a telegram from
the McNamaras thanking the labor
unions for their confidence and help
This is the burden Of all Gompers'
comment, that he had asked the Nc
Namaras and that they had told him
they were innocent. This means eth
er that he was so utterly childish as
to believe an unsupported declaration
of innocence from men accused of
murder. OR else that he is as insincere
as the enemies of labor attempt to
make out.
Surely if Gompers had the true in
terest of labor at heart and were to
exercise even ordinary discretion. he
would make a most exhaustive and
impartial investigation of every
charge of violence brought against a
labor union official. Unless labor is
to attempt to gain its ends by MUIR
der and arson and other violent meth
DDS, its responsible officials must be
more vigilant and determined than
even the officers of the law in run
ming down and furnishing any one
connected with their organization
who Is a law-breaker.
But on the contrary, Gompers has
issued the most unreasoning and bit
ter ienunciations of those who
brought about the arrest Of the Nc
Namaras,-even asserting that the
evidence on which they were taken
by Detective Burns was manufacture
ed by a conspiracy of capitalists.
This goes to show that the leader
ship of the labor unions has been al
teogther too much given to prejudice.
1t has been willing to believe the
most monstrous crimes on the part
of capital and white-handed inno-
cence on the part of everybody con-
nected with labor. The real truth is
that both factions have about the
same amount of human nature and
that both are guilty Of wrong-doing.
Undoubtedly labor commits more acts
of lawless violence, because capital
has many other weapons to use.
The confession of the McNamaras
should improve the management OF
the cause of labor. Surely labor Of
icials will not now be so ready to
shout assertions of the innocence OF
every man arrested for violation OF
the law. Surely it will result in
more introspection by the labor of.
fcials into their W organization.
And 1t ought to help them to realize
that they are just as selfish in their
combats with capital as capital is. in
Its attitude toward them.

MITCHELL
THEIR HUSBANDS RlRTAnAN


On Monday evening, one of the
most delightful social affairs of the
lseason, occurred, when Mrs. \, 7.
Downey and Mrs. s. f. Morris en-
tertained at the home OF the lat
ter 4 company OF lady and gentle
men friends to a six o'clock dinner.
Covers were laid for thirty-two.
The occasion was in honor of their
husbands, whose birthday anniver-
saries occurred the same day. The
Iguests were met at the door by the
hosts and the hostesses, and were
invited to find their places at the
tables by deciphering their names
from their initials Of a sentence
written on cards. This novel meth
lod proved to be full of interest. At
ter all were seated a delicious four
i%course dinner vas served, the latter
part Of which was especially en-
Ijoyed as it gave the guests the OPP
rortunity to see the hosts cut the
birthday cake, a pyramid of snowy
beauty occupying a conspicuous
place on the table. This was most
generously passed around and par
taken of by all. The immense Ia
BILE was artistically arranged and
decorated With smilax in the form
of a star and crescent. in which
were placed tiny birthday candles,
/, The place cards also were stamped
with the monogram, set in a star
and crescent field. The favors were
boquets of heilotrope. After the
dinner hour each guest was request
ed to write a birthday sentiment,
and as the different verses were
read it was realized that many had
buried their talents in the rush and
stress of commercial life, and that
wreaths Of laurels should have beer
placed upon many where the poetic
genius was surely burning.
At the suggestion of DR.. B. A
Bobb the hosts were informally
Toasted by DR.. Lamme and DR.. Sea
ton, to which they responded in &
happy manner. Miss Brown, Miss
Hilborn, and Mr.. Whitney Morris
delighted the company with theil
music, and Miss Marry Morrow with
a number of readings.
After the toasts Of the evening
the hosts were presented with tok.
ems as an appreciation of the fne
feeling Of friendship entertained
for them by their guests.
The following assisted during the
evening: Misses Lora Closson, Ger
trude Hilborn, Verna Brown, May
McGrath, Mary Morrow and Mrs. r
.. Brown.
The out-of-town guests We're Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Mcdonald, of Mt
Vernon, Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Morris

NAL manner.

and which revealed a wonderful
amount of. ingenuity on the part of
guests. The company was richly en-
tertained by Prof. L%oudenback with
piano selections, by Mrs. w. G. Hunt
er, who sang several very pretty
numbers and Mrs. Temple, whose
readings afforded much pleasure. The
evening was spent informally, and

ening had been a most delightful
one.
COME FROM HANSON COUNTY.
