The standpatters of both South Dako-
Ia and Iowa are enjoying to the fullest
the predicament in which they find their
iasurgent bretheren. In this state the
leading progressive" statesmen are
placed in the attitutide of supporting the
chief counsel of g railroad corporation
for the federal bench, in open violation
of the state platform which they assisted
in writing. Down in Iowa, to protect
the Cummin's machine, the progressive
cult of the good old party are opposing
an open primary on the senatorial mat
ter, after making the primary principle
their slogan on many bloody and windy
battle field. All of this is but verifica-
tion Of what was SO wisely said few
hundred years ago about q leopard being
unable to change his spots. Most of the
leaders of the insurgent organizations oi
both South Dakota and Iowa became in.
surgents not from matter of principle
but to advance their political fortunes.
Having changed to gain Office, they find
little difficulty in changing again tc
keep it. This does not mean that pro-
gressiveness is failure and should be
relegated, but that progressive voters
have made many grievious mistakes in
tearing out the ''bull wheels" OF the
standpat machines to use as supports anG
means OF locomotion for their reform
mechanism. - Yankton Herald.

IN MEMORY OF HUBERT MILLER WAL
LACE
(By WtN Chamberlain
A little walk, little way,
A path of aforementioned miles,
Then ever in a land where play
The visions OF the after-whiles.
A little doubt, little fear,
A little haunting Of u wrath,
Then-where falls never pain or tear
Upon the sunny hills OF faith.
A little place beside hearth,
Where love has wrought its chiefest
art,
Theh, jDy OF the etei nal Airth
Where benL 10 one are mind and
heart.
And thus we pass and thus we go
Beyond The reach OF mortal sigh,
Where what We guessed is what we
know,
And, until then, we say, Goodby.

THAT was terrible slam that Senator
Crawford handed Senator Gamble in the
United States senate Tuesday, when he
took direct issue with the report of Sen
ator CANDLES committee that found the
election of Senator Lorimer regular and
valid. Evidentaly the junior senator OF
South Dakota has scent more keen for
the approaching band wagon, than are
his scrupleS manifest in the observance
of senatorial courtesy.

Now that Senator Crawford has declar-

ulent and special committee OF the
Wisconsin legislature has turned the

now remains nothing TO be done except
for the latter TO get his minions into

what disposition was made of his own
money in securing the first election of
Senator LaFollette.

A CITIZEN S TRIBUTE

a. AIIILEN h1bJIE
When the news OF the death of Mayor
Wallace was passed from one to an
| other throughout this community there
never was u greater mental shock ex-
perienced in the history OF the city.
People generally refused TO believe
the sad tidings. Bert" as be WIS
familiarly known by his many friends,
was to all appearances SO strong and
rugged that it did uOt seem possible
that disease could SO easily and speedi-
ly win conquest over him. 1t is but
another instance where man proposes
and God dispOses. He has gone from
among us and we shall hear his friend
y greeting no more. AS an ex-presi-
dent recently said of the late Arch
Hoxsey: HE is a man who did things
In an unOstentatious way" So with
Mr.. Wallace, he did not care for dis
play; everything was done quietly.
Some of the leading characteristics
In Mr.. Wallace's makeup were, first of
al, his love and kindly regard for his
aged mother. 1t seemed to be i'm
possible for him TO do too much for her
comfort. And next he loved his home
and family. Only last summer inn
provements costing several hundred
dollars were made TO the residence
with the view OF making it more con-
venient and comfortable for all the uc-
cupants, even to the procuring of four
large arm chairs for each member of
the family. We recall these words:
"We shall meet but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacant chair"
Again, Mr.. Wallace was an enterpris-
iDg citizen. This is in evidence since
lie become mayor OF our city. The con-
dttion OF our streets and sidewalks
have been improved as never before In
so short d time. The water works
plant has been put In first class coz
dition. Waste of gas has been elimi.
mated so far rs it was possible to do so.
Two thousand five hundred dollars oi
city bonds have been paid and many
other things done that took time and
attention to accomplish and all this be.
cause he took pride in:the city of his
nativity.
As a lawyer Mr.. Wallace had the
confidence of the community to an IN.
usual degree. His practice had been
growing with rapid strides within the
last few years. All his legal papers
were models OF neatness and accurac J.
and Mr.. Wallace would not advise
anyone to 60 to law unless he was
pretty sure to win out.
AS president OF the city school board
it has been generally acknowledged
that Mr.. Wallace was the right mar
In the right place. Because of the
deep interest he has shown la ou,
schools he would have been reelected
so long as he would have accepted the
position.
! Bert will be missed at the meetine
of the city council, at the meeting o
the school board, at the meeting OF th,
First National Bank directors, nj til,
meeting Of the different fraternal or
CARNATIONS OF which he was so worth,

After the legislature passes law pro.
viding 800 as the payment to newspa-
perS for unlimited use of their adVertis-
ing pages, it should also pass one fixing
20 cents buShel as the maximum price
to be paid for wheat and S3 per hundred
for hogs, The principle would be the
same in either case and one would be no
more unfair than the other Sioux Falls
