SOME of the Legislators pretend to
be amazed at the total cost of publish
ing amendments to the constitution
and referred laws. 1t doesn't take
much to amaze some people. It's a
wonder they do not become amazed
once at the number of fool laws en-
acted which need the referendum If
they had only had their amaze
machine working two years ago it
would have saved the expense they
kick about. The total cost of publish
ing the amendmt nts and laws is said
to have been $ll5, 10000, and the fool
military bill made nearly half the
cost. And its defeat was cheap even
at that if the publicity was the cause

LODGES CASE In MASSACHUSETTS

The contest for the seat of Senator
Lodge has revived the ancient debate
over whether Senator should take in
structions from his State. Lodge
does not. He has ceased III a large
measure to represent the principles
aud the tendencies of a majority of
the people of his SIa'e. His sup
porters cliim as an offset to this that
Lodge is able, influential and gets
things in the way of appropriations,
because be is on the big committees
and stands in with the moguls of the
Senate. These see great loss and
humiliation to the State, il Lodge is
replaced by new man who must be-
gin al the bottom.

The Minneapolis linseed oil men
have contracted for 100000 bushels of
flax in the Argentine country. 1t will
cost to transport this fax 1850 miles
the magnificent sum of 20 cents
per bushel. 1t will be transported
12,200 miles by water, via Antwerp,
and 1900 miles by rail from the
Atlantic coast. The latter haul of
1900 miles by lail is more than four
times the distance from De Smet to
Minneapolis, and yet 1t costs S4 cents
to ship bushel of fax from this

freight rates need regulating some.

sound argument. Nobody would hire
an inexperienced lawyer, if he could
get a seasoned advocate But when
hiring an attorney the first thing the
litigant would like to be sure of is
that his advocate believes in him and
his cause. This is where, the opposi-
ton says, the case for Senator Lodge
falls down. He does not represent
the principles of his people.
Lodges real offense is that he has
tried to dragoon Massachusetts, into
thinking as he does. He is trying
now to change. He is trying to get
his ear to the ground. He has tried
it on the tariff commission and on
the direct election of Senators. If he
wins, the election will have taught
him the valuable lesson, that the
really superior person is not he who
is testify intolerant and arrogantly
self sufficient. The great man is he

WHY all this talk about evading
the cost of the primary election? The
people want the primary system and
must expect to pay the cost if they
enjoy ita privileges s i:s i; &c; &c :s
by which a primary can be held with
ou' authorized men to take charge OF
it and do the work Ballots must be
printed and distributed 1t all costs
money If you eliminate the cost you
will have to do away with the primary
system. Any scheme which would do
away with those things necessary TO a
primary election will also do away
with the efficiency of the system.
There has been proposed by one
Biglow bill to amend the primary SO
that it will be held at the same time
as the election, and the primary and
election ballot printed in one. 1t all
newspaper accounts of it, by both
those favorable and those opposed are
true, it is at best a crazy scheme Any
primary system 10 be effective and
register the choice of the people must
be simple, the more simple the nearer
will ii come 20 expressing the will ct
the people. This is plain PROPOSE
tion that cannot be successfully con-
troverted. Any system that is com
plicated will fail to express the will
of the people to just the degree that
it becomes complicated. 1t is possible
the present primary system can be
improved, we say it is possible that it
might be improved, but we have yet
to learn of any scheme proposed that
is an improvement. The state, no
more than an individual, can secure
something for nothing. Any man
who would complicate our primary
system is an enemy of good govern
ment, whether Intentional or not. To
abolish the primary system entirely
is better han to ruin it.

BIG BUSINESS FOR SIOUX FALLS

With two new factories, the Nor
rell Packing plant and the Queen Bee
flour mill requiring about GAO train
loads per year to transport their
products and the raw material, the
increase in Sioux Falls freight bu~i
ness in the next few years will be
wonderful, says the Sioux Falls Press.
These institutions will, in fact, re-
suit In many more trainloads of
freight going in and out of Sioux
Falls tnan their capacity figures in
dicate. Both the Queen Bee mill and
the packing plant will consume vast
quantities of coal. Barrels, bags,
bran and shorts will be shipped by
the mill. Barrels, boxes, pals and
many by products will be shipped by
the packing plant. The total may run
up to TOO trainloads, especially if the
shipping material and machinery is
taken into consideration the first year.
All this vast freight business will
be originated by just two of Sioux
Falls manufacturing institutions
There are others such as the brewery,
cracker factory, brick plant, metal
culvert factory, purely manufactur-
ing institutions, to say nothing of the
wholesale and jobbing business. Is
it any wonder that property values
are on the rise in Sioux Falls, thai
seven story buildings are being plan
ned for in addition to the structure,
already under construction?
Whether the census was right in
giving Sioux Falls population of a
little over l4,000 or whether it should
have had 5000 more, is really not the
serious question Figures in regard
to the business done in Sioux Falls,
show themselves. Our weekly bank
clearings are a revelation to the world,
exceedinging frequently the clearings
of cities of a hundred thousand IN
habitants.

If this session of congress does
not take some steps toward control
ing the cold storage business of the
country, it will have failed in its duty.
The cold storage interests have grown
to enormous proportions in the last
five years, and they have it in their
power to regulate the price of food
products tosuit their own convenience.
The high cost of living in the past
three years is due in a large measure
10 the cold storage interests. They
have the capacity and the money to
buy up products at the season when
they are the lowest and hold for a
higher market, which they easily
create by withdrawing the supply
until the public is forced to pay the
price. OF course, cold storage con-
Germs, like many others, carry the
thing too far and the result is a
collapse in the market and cheaper
food prices for short time, as was
the case last week when several com
mission firms went to the wall. But
such occurrences are only temporary

where il is possible to corner a pro-
duct, or enough of il to control prices,
there are always plenty of men with
money ready to step into the breach

able man, and one firmly grounded in

location should not he put up against

In defending Senator Lorimer's
title to a seat, Senator Gamble
advances the unique argument that
''even excluding the votes cast for
Lorimer and alleged to have been
tainted, would yet leave Lorimor a
clear majority of one. Another
argument of Mr.. Candles is that the
men who confessed to selling their
votes in favor of Lorimer are SO crook
ed they should not be believed. The
first argument is ridiculous. The
public knows thai bribery in Lorimer's
interest has been proven beyond a
shadow of doubt, and the public
knows that there would have been no
bribery if Lorimer could secure
enough votes without it. And the
public further knows that Lorimer
was on the job all the time during
that senatorial fight If Gamble has
any idea of succeeding himself in the
senate. he is taking mighty poor
course to secure favor in this state.
But Gamble always was a weak
sister"
