Personal Journalism. "
London Saturday Review.

From the London Saturday Review.
The whole unpleasant question of per-
sonal journalism is enveloped in our ma
tional atmosphere Of snobbery and n.y.
pocrisy. The very people who complain
OF their privacy being invaded have in
v.ted the photographer to snapshot their
party of guns. The number of people
wHo are high enough or celebrated
e2ough to have their movements recorded
without their consent or without paying
for 1t is very small. and even they, the
great ones Of the earth, like the adver-
tisement.
Mr.. Gladstone, as is well known loved
the minute record of his day in the
prints. We once visited Mr.. Cecil Rhodes
at his hotel and found him seated at a
: table. with head on hands. devouring a
pile of newspaper cuttings. Even the
arena of politics has been invaded by per-
sonal journalism. For many years Sir
Henry Lucy enjoyed a monopoly Of the
political article which dwelt meticulously
on Mr.. Balfour's spats or Mr.. Gladstone
linen. But now all the papers have a
house of commons article which devotes
quite as much space to the looks and
dress as to the words of the orator. The
supply is always an answer to the de-
mand.

LENNON PAPER OUT
FOR SENATOR GAMBLE
EDlTOH IOTWLN SUPPORTS HIM
AS BEING MORE PROGRESSIVE
THAN DEAN STERLING.

Lennon, S. D.-perkins County
Signal, published at Lennon by
Thomas ID. Potwin, and one of the
strongest progressive Republican
weeklies in the state, has pronounc-
ed itself in favor of the denomination
and reelection OF United States Sem
ator Robert ]. Gamble. In a lead
ing editorial in the last issue of the
paper, the Signal insists that CAM
bic is the proper man for republi-
cans of Northwestern South Dakota
to support, for the reason that he
has been consistently progressive in
that he has adhered faithfully to the
platforms OF the republican party of
South Dakota since the party has
been dominated by the progressives,
while it claims CANDLES chief oppo-
nent, Dean Sterling, was r%eactionary
in tendency until he determined to
run for the senate. Furthermore. as
reason for Gamble receiving the sup
port of voters in that section of the
state, the Signal contends he has
been especially diligent in looking af-
ter the interests of homesteaders,
and by his long service i'll the senate
and his committee OF homesteaders,
and by his long service in the SEN
ate and his committee assignments in
body, he is in a much better po-
sition to serve his constituents eff
fectively than a new nan could he.

ity enabled the company to
present their characters in very
fine shape. and the drama moved
along without any defects apparent.
The members had their lines we'll
learned, ana their Stage activities
ment. The comedy is drawn along
the lines OF a mixup in two families.
which leads to serious and amusing
complications, Which arc carried
along through the three acts. In the

mar and Ray Dixon displayed some
very clever work. and handled their
characters in Il way as to produce a
great deal of amusement. Z. ID.

to Il nicely, and added much to the
comedy. Miss Hardy had something
OF a difficult character to present.

she added much TO the comedy. Miss

COMMITTEES ACTION
SCORED BY TH0RS0N
SOUTH DAKOTA COMMITTEEMAN
OBJECTS TO BAR Il .AISED
AGAINST THE PRESlDEN.
TIAL PRIMARY.

Washington, D. C.-National Com.
mitteeman Thomas Thorson, OF South
Dakota, expressed himself in vigor-
Gus fashion here about the action OF
the national republican committee
and about the South Dakota situa-
ton.
The action OF the committee in
refusing to allow the voters to eX-
4 ress their presidential preferences in
states where state committees desire
to arrange for primaries, is utterly
foolish and unwise," said Mr.. Thor
son. 1T would never be done except
by a lot Of the committeeman who
do not understand the temper OF the
people,"
Mr. Thorsonn also condemned the
committee for putting a provision in
its call that enables it, if it wants to,
TO ignore the selections of delegates
in states. where there are presiden-
tial preference laws. So far as
Dakota is concerned, at his in
~sistencc a provision was put in which
did away with the requirements
that the delegates be selected 80 days
before the convention, inasmuch as
the primaries there will be June 4.
State Is Progressive.
Mr.. Thorson said the .progressiyes
OF South Dakota were in good shape
and would choose q progressive can
didate for senator and progressiyes
for congress, in June.
THE lines are being drawn upon
national issues" he said. 'sWith La
Toilette a candidate for president,
Dean Sterling for senator and c. II.
Dillon for congress in the First dis
trict. In the other two districts it
is not fully determined whom the
progrcssives will unite on, there be-
ing now more than one progressive
in the field"
He declared Dean Sterling was
fully equipped to make a good sena-
tor and scored Senator Gamble.

LEGALITY OF such procedure was rais-

under the provisions Of Chapter 80
Of the Laws of 1911, advertisements

in that respect is in the following:
1T shall be the duty Of the board Of

the first day of March OF every
year, to advertise in the official pa
pers Of the county for a period Of
thirty days asking for sealed bids,
: . = such bids to be submitted to
them ut their next regular or spe-
cial meetion." This provision is
held to prohibit the letting of bids
prior to the advertising which evil
intends that the bids shall
not be considered at any meeting Of

MAY ADVOCATE TREATY
WITH RUSSIA AT ONCE.

Washington, d C.-The abrogation
of the Russian treaty of 1882, be-
Of discrimination of American
Jews and others, may become the
law OF the land before the Christmas
holiday Of congress.
The sulzer resolution adopted by
the House, directing termination of
the treaty after Il years notice, was
brought up in the Senate. The re-
suit of a running debate whether
TO refer it to The committee OF
foreign relations or to act inlmed-
..ately was an assurance from the
committee that it would report
Monday. The Senate may then
adopt The resolution with a slight
change for the Culberson rcsolu-
ton which is practically identical.
The debate in the Senate includ-
ed some discussion Of the attitude
of the state department. Senator
Culbelson cOnteEded that notice Of
abrogation cannot take effect until
one year after "tke first day Of jan
nary following the action of Con-
gress' and, therefore, if the resolu-
ton shall fail OF adoption before the
holidays it would not go into effect
until 1914. or more than two years
hence.

cd for reference to the committee.
