c. K. HOWARD FARM

The famous old farm of G.. X. How
ard, lying west of Sioux Falls, which
was the homestead of the old timer
who made South Dakota and Sioux
Falls possible in the early days was
sold this week by Louis E. Smith, the
farm land dealer in the Boyce-Greeley
block. This farm is one of the good
ones of the county and one that many
a man would want to own. 1t brought
a record price of $11O an acre for SO
large a piece of ground and was
bought by Charles Schwartz, who has
owned couple of other farms in this
county, but each time sold out to go
some other place. He is back to stay
now and thinks through Mr.. Smith he
has secured place he will never
want to sell.
But it shows that Minnehaha coun-
ty land is gradually coming into its
own and that it will only be a short
time until sales are recorded at $3.50
an acre, which most OF the land 10

BIG IRRIGATION PLANT.

Among the private irrigation out
fits in this part of the state, which
will cover extensive operation ia that
line, is that being put in on the
Spencer ranch in Sully county, on
the site of old Fairbank. Mr.. Spen-
Ger is putting about twenty thousand
dollars into the plant for putting
water on thousand acres which
he owns in the Missouri valley His
plan comprehends pumping the water
from the river into two reservoirs
which are made by placing earthen
dams across the lower ends of
draws" in the bluffs east of his
farm. The water from the river will
be pumped into these reservoirs for
use at any time needed for flooding
the crops on the tract, and at the
same time the plan is arranged for
utilizing whatever water may be se-
cured from the drainage into these
reservoirs. The water is carried from
the river to the reservoirs in an eight
inch pipe, and is lifted over a hund
red feet in the mile of pipe from the
stream to reservoir. Watch is taken
out OF the reservoir in siphons, to
prevent possibility of cutting away
through the flowing of water through
open bitches over or near the dams.
The project is so extensive that
while work has been under way
all summer it was not ready for
use for this years crop, but is expect
ed to be ready with the reservoirs ti]-
ed before the water will be needed
for the crop another year While
the amount expended looks large, it
really means about twenty dollars
for each acre handled, and the ex-
perience of irrigation in this country
shows shat the increased production
in any one year should practically
meet this cost.
Other similar plants are being put in
all along the Missouri, and some of
them being operated this year, but
none except the Philip plant west of
the river q short distance from
Fort Pierre attempt to cover the
amount of land as the Spencer pro-
ject. Others in contemplation are
even larger. but they are not yet out
of the possibility stage Of exis tence.

WILSON AND THE
NEW PARTY PLATFORM

Many true progressives prefer Will
son for president, butare attracted to
to the new party because of its plat
form. Let them examine that plat
form carefully and they will find ir
it abundant reason for voting against
the new party. The superstructure
is beautiful; but the foundations are
fatally defective. They are industrial
absolutism and the subjeetion of
labor. The party pledges itself to
legalize private monopoly instead of
regulating competition, and to well
fore department justice instead of in
dustrial democracy.
The new party platform, despite it's
many good features, is the expression
not of hope, but of despair. 1t says,
in effect:
"We must abandon industrial lib
erty. We must recognize as inevita-
BILE private monopoly-that cursed
product of depotism from which, in
the past. the few have ever profiled
at the expense of the many. But we
will draw its fangs; will regulate it
by an Interstate commissions; will
curb it's abuses and will limit the
prices it may CHARGE
But why tolerate private monopo-
lies?
If the government of the United
States is powerful enough to control
monster monopolies, why is it not
powerful enough to prevent them?
Enact statutes perfecting the legal
machinery like the La Toilette Stan
ley bill now pending; supplement
them by the administrative machine
ry of a federal trade commission like
that proposed by Senator La Toilette
and Newlands, and the government
will have no difficulty in suppressing
monopoly and regulating competi-
ton, as Governor proposes.
Hand in hand with private monopo-
ly goes the denial to labor of the right
to organize. Monopoly, made good
by law, Is to be supplemented by
justice without liberty. Every pow
erful trust has made the elimination
of trade unionist the corner stone of
it's labor policy. And this new party
platform, with it's nobly phased
promise of social and Industrial lust
ice, and its careful enumeration of
specified labor measures, ignores
right to organize, seemingly we'll con.
tent with the decision of the United
States supreme court, which decla res
that corporation enporatlon engag-
ed in Interstate commerce has a con-
stitutional right to discharge an
American citizens because he ioins a
labor union.
Thus the new party promises capi
tai the right to combine, but offers no
relief to labor, though Contrary TO
the intent of congress) the courts held
it to be subjict to the provisions of
the Sherman anti trust act.
1t is fitting that George w. Perkins,
the father of trusts" late of j. P.
Morgan & Co., aud still of the Steel
Trust, the Harvester Trust and the
shipping Trust, should be chairman
OF the executive committee and the
financial supporter of the new party
movement
