CONGREssMEN AND PORK

If a congressman does not bring
home some pork" in the shape of
appropriations for public buildings,
pensions, rivers and harbors, army
posts, navy yards, or some similar
piece OF "honest graft" he has not
"played the game" as it is played in
Washington. To spend three-quart-
ers of his time begging favors for
constituents was not what the con-
stitption intended that congress
mans duties should be, yet that is
the unhappy lot of many of them.
Their constituents demand the
"pork. " and an adept beggar can get
good deal of public money for his
district. Much Of it is probably pure
waste, SO far as the government is
concerned. The congressman may
know that it is not wise expendi-
ture, but he must get what he can or
be left behind in the race. There is
little use in our talk of economy, re-
trenchment, efficiency, and of over
hauling the business systems of the
departments while congress appropri-
ates $52, 900, 900 for river and harbor
improvements, and $22 100000 for
public buildings by system in which
the political benefit derived from the
distribution of this money has at
least as mach influence as the neces-
stiles of the government. The remedy
for the situation is to change the rules
of the game so that the more self re-
specting members will not be forced
to beg for "pork" to distribute-and
so that others will be prevented from
doing so.
That was an interesting decision of
the supreme court on the liquor con-
troyersy that started in Spearfish,
and was carried up on appeal. If the
premises are correctly stated one
does not see how any other decision
could have been rendered. If the
husband of woman who owns prop
erty would be declared a free-holder
by reason of that fact it would be
strange indeed. Certainly it would
seem there must have been other
questions that entered Tito the hear
ing to secure the decision from Judge
Rice which the supreme court now
reverses.
Pierre weekly free press. (Pierre, S.D.) 1889-19??, 1911-02-02

A bill is pending at Pierre to pub
lish the referred laws in pamphlet
form instead of in the newspapers.
Then of course the newspapers will
be expected, after being legislated out
Of their legitimate business, to sup
port for re- election the men who vot-
ed against them, and to print and re-
print extracts from the referred laws
until the voters understand them. In
an ordinary election, the cost to the
state will be as heavy as if the busi-
ness went to the newspapers but there
seem to be few members of the leg
islature who can not bear to think of
any measure of prosperity coming to
a newspaper. If the bill proposed
should pass. the newspapers should
invoke the referendum upon It, as an
unfair invasion of the legitimate
newspaper field.

One reason the Canadian northw est
grows sc fast, in part at the expense
of the United States, is that its gov
ernment and railroads conspire to
make the settler prosperous. Their
latest wrinkle is "the ready-made
farm" A tract of land is set aside
for settlement and experts put it in
shape for the newcomer to step into
a finished and "going" place. 1t is
singularly true that the United States
is about the only country in the world
that does nothing to help it's people
"back to the soil' except to tell them
they ought to get there.

The farmers have been bit slow in
waking up, but the Canadian recipro-
city noise is likely to do the business.

A REVIVED TOPIC

The subject of the appointment of
federal judge for South Dakota, to
occupy the place vacated by Judge
Garland, has been taking rest for
a few days. 1t is now revived by The
return to Aberdeen from Washington
of w. G. Cook, chairman of the South
Dakota republican central committee
and also collector of internal revenue
for the twin states.
Mr.. Cook has informed the Aber-
deem American that the delay in an
nouncing the appointment makes the
hackers of Mr. Elliott uneasy, and
Mr.. Cook is one of his hackers. The
American quotes Mr.. Geek:
Judge Garland is now on his way
east and he is to be talked with by
Taft before he acts. Both South Da-
kota senators have given their en-
dorsement to Mr.. Elliott, but they
seem unable to WELD the eliminating
influence to cinch the place for their
man.-Huron Huronite.

Congressman Martin has been max
ing special effort on behalf of in
creased efficiency in the mail service.
He failed to get an appropriation to
provide pay for clerks working over
time, but believes the argument in
the house will result in an increase
of the force of clerks sufficient to do
the work at least. It transpires that
the department has declined to ap-
point additional clerks which it clear
ly is empowered to do, and the show
ing that has been made that the
present force is entireiy inadequate
will force an increase at the begin
ming of the iscal year. Il not before.

ANNUAL EXCURSION
TO ALBERTA CROWS
Many Take Advantage of 0ppor-
tunity to Visit Relatives
in Canada.

When the big train OF twelve cars left
the Oregon Short Line depot at $50
o clock yesterday afternoon there was
some speculation as to the meaning of
such an exodus from Zion. There were
seven standard Pullman cars, one tourist
and three chair cars and all OF these
loaded 10 tho doors. II was the regular
annual excursion that is run by the
Oregon Short Line to points In Alberta,
Canada.
There was a great scramble when the
train pulled up and the gates were
thrown open. The excursion is meant
for homeseekers. but is taken advantage
OF by many people who have relatives
or friends In Canada 10 pay them a visit.
There WAS only one baggage car on the
train and no dining car, but to judge
from the size Of some of the bundles
that were carried into the cars there
will be no shortage of provisions on the
way. In fact II some of these are not
much reduced in size before the Canadian
line Is reached there may be some
trouble III getting them across.
The big 500 engine puffed as though
II were complaining OF the load as IL
started out with the long line OF cars.
from every window OF which several
hands were reaching out and waving a
handkerchief. towel. apron or anything
that was handy. II is prooa BILE that the
train will be divided into sections when
" leaves Ogden.
