On account Of SO many of the old
soldiers leaving the city in the after
noon, the parade which was announc.
ed for the evening at 7:l5, was held at
l:30, and over 200 men we're in line
The parade was headed by Fox's
drum corps of Sioux Falls, and when
the line passed the Elks building Past
| Commander Farr halted the men and
gave three cheers to the w. r. G.
women who viewed the parade from
the porch of the Elks' building.
The first business in the afternoon
was the location of the encampment
for next year. Invitations were ex-
tended by Brookings, Miller, A ber-
deem and Big Stone. The vote was
given to Aberdeen and that city won
above all com petitors.
RELIEF CORPS ELECT OFFICERS.
Th e morning business of the w. r.
Q. was taken up with the election of
officers and a few other matters. The
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year:
President, Mrs. S. Nevada Hereford
of Aberdeen
Senior vice, Mrs Mimic Eichberg of
Brookings.
Junior vice, Mrs. Mary Cowell' of
Plankinton.
Treasurer, Mrs. Van Ness of Aber-
deem.
Chaplain, Mrs. Isabelle Erving of
Rapid City.
Delegates at large, Mrs. Belle Prem
tiss of Vermillion: alternate, Mrs.
Mary Ward of Yankton
Executive council: Jane Mason, Mrs.
Louis Houser, Mrs. UOrton of Aber-
deem, Mrs. Mary Osborne of Yankton,
Mrs. Mary Oldtield Of Clark.
Mrs. Cora M. Davis, national presi-
dent of the w. r. c., was in atten-
dance at the morning session and was
an interested spectator of the work
that was being done. Mrs. Davis paid
very high compliment to the retir-
ing president, Mrs Helen Kibbee, in
stating that she was regarded very
highly by the officers of the national
depar tment, and that she was placed
among the very best presidents of any
of the state departments in the
United States, and that her depart
mental work was among the very best
that has been received at the head
quarters.
A very happy incident occurred to-
ward the close of the afternoon when
Mrs. Mamma M. Moore called Mrs.
Kibbee to the center Of the stage, and
presented her with gold watch and
chain, which Mrs. Moore said came
from members of the Woman's Relief
Corps as an attestation Of the great
admiration and respect they had for

SHAMELESS IN DISCREDIT
How Members of Republican
National Committee Are Betraying
Their Trusts.

The people OF this middle west
know at first hand that these follow
ing named states were among those
which recorded, by primaries and
mass meetings, immense popular
majorlties for Theodore Roosevelt:
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Okla
homa, Illinois.
They know at first hand that Iowa
and North Dakota went over WHEEL
mingly for the progressive cause
against Taft.
They know, too, by the records,
that In state wide primaries Roose-
velt swept Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Oregon.
Yet in the republican national COM
mittee these following named misre-
presentatives of the people of those
states are voting directly against the
instructions of the voters:
David w. Mulvane, of Kansas.
Richard Bartholdt, of Missouri, proxy
for Charles Nagel, of Missouri, who
lodged.
v iSVOA AS1oO W 0OOt3 VI A>OOA ooA0s
Dennis Flynn, proxy for Q. M. Cade,
of Oklahoma.
Frank 0. Lowden, of Illinois.
Ernest e. Hart, of Iowa.
A. l. Vorys, of Ohio.
Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania.
r. e. Williams, OF Oregon.
James Kennedy, of North Dakota.
Every one of these committeeman
was turned down and directly dis
credited by his own state.
The fraud on popular representa-
tion these men have set themselves
to perpetrate is not question Of
opinion or hearsay. The people know
Of their own first hand information,
what has been served to them. And
they have good memories. Kansas

The Southern Delegates.

Aberdeen News: Republicans may
differ as to whom the party should
nominate for president, but there
should be no difference Of opinion re-
garding the necessity for remedying
party procedure in the southern
states, where there are but q handful
of observation-disclosures possibly,
the condition In the republican party,
so far as the south is concerned, Is
not very m UGH worse than the c0ndi-
tion OF the democratic party In sc0n-
nection with few of the rock-ribbed
republican states OF the north.
The Toledo Blade, In discussing
conditions in the south, in recent
issue said:
There we're 52,573 republican voters
In Virginia In 1906, somewhat more
than there we're plurality votes for
the democratic nominee. But in the
republican convention the delegates
of these 52,573 voters can out-vote the
delegates sent by 100000 republicans
in Minnesota.
The republican party of South
Carolina is a jest 1858 In 1908. just
the same, the South Carolina dele
gates could nullify the votes of 2l4, 1913
Colorado republicans as represented
by it's delegates II the two states
backed competing candidates. Which
would not be a jest.
The delegates of Al, ,692 Georgia re-
publicans will nullify the votes of the
delegates OF 247,747 Wisconsin repub-
licans for their favorite son.
There were not enough republicans
In Louisiana this year to qualify for
a place on the ballot, but the Louisi-
ana delegates will sm0 ther the dele
gates from Kansas, where there were
1877, ,216 republicans in 1908.
The Mississippi delegates, repre-
senting a party of 4,363 could out
weigh the hundreds of thousands OF
republicans of Connecticut, Delaware
and New Hampshire thrown together.
With one-tifth as many republicans
as Nebraska, Arkansas will balance
the votes Of Nebraska in the conven
tiOn.
The southern delegate scandal is q
disgrace to the party which was
dedicated to freedom" It repre-
sents the very abrogation Of freedom
and, If 1t is to be given sanction eth
er by the continued employment OF
the delegate power or by silence, the
organization can no longer boast it is
the party of liberty, mot of profes-
sion, but OF performance.
The national republican convention
should go on record this year as pledg-
ed to a reform of the system OF choos-
ing delegates pledged to make all
conventions in the future representa-
tive Of the voters of the party and
not of the postmasters, collectors of In
ternal revenue and federal judges OF
the party.

General Farm Notes.

Replant corn as soon as It Is up SO
that the field may not become uneven.
Replanted hills will not do we'll with
late start, owing to the crowding OF
the earlier corn.
A bank in ditch that is washing
out may be checked by planting
willows. Willow cuttings stuck into
moist soil will take root and grow
almost any time In spring or summer.
They are effective In diverting water
and holding SOIL
A neighbor who is making start,
and who is now short Of both money
and feed, works his horses a half day
and runs them on pasture the rest Of
the day and night. He feeds but a
small amount of grain, no hay at all,
and his horses are in excellent round
flesh.
Killing brush and weeds In the per-
manent pasture means more room for
good grass to grow. Sprouts cut off
for two or three summers will give up
the struggle and die. Sheep will ex-
terminate both weeds and sprouts
A 4-foot woven wire fence costs but
a few cents rod more than one rs or
81 inches high and 1t Is worth prac-
tically twice as much. BY using high
woven wire fencing barbed wire may
De eliminated, which will reduce
danger Of barbed wire cuts with
horses and colts.
If your barn will not hold all Of
your hay crop, build cheap hay
barn large enough to hold all the hay,
fodder and straw. Peeled and season
e4 ound white oak poles or l0inches
in diameter, set In the ground, will
last for eight or ten years. To these
as uprights may be spiked timers 2
inches thick for nail ties, cross
supports and braces. Solid decking
and heavy felt roofing will complete
the structure at small cost.
Where wheat has been winter-kill-
ed, the land may be plowed or disced
and seeded in COW peas, millett or
other emergency crop. Sweet corn is
| dill cACclIcuU CIOp.
Egg plant and peppers may be plant
ed when the weather and soil becomes
real warm about the last Of May or
the first weeks In June, In central
latitudes, some earlier further south.
Sweet potatoes may also be planted
early in June. Give pepper plants
plenty of space between hills.
OF course you have all your vege-
tables In rows 3 feet or more apart to
admit of cultivation with horse tools.
Life is too short and time to precious
to hoe the garden plants when the
work can be done ten times as fast
and better with light one-horse or
two horse cultivator. Raised beds
allow the soil to dry out.
The vegetable and fruit garden will
look beautiful in midsummer and
early fall with long, straight rows Of
thrifty plants. The foliage of garden
beets, parsnips, carrots and some
others is as beautiful as that Of orna-
mental Towering plants. Aim for
beauty and utility.
An animal with a wound or open
sore should be kept In clean pasture
If possible. When it must be confin-
ed in the stable clean bedding and
|disinfectants must be used freely.
Manure and filth in and about stabl es
is full of germs Of blood poisoning,
tetanus and other malignant diseases
for causing Infection. Clean pastures
contain fewer germs of disease, and it
Is note eworthy that wounded animals
in pasture are less su bject to Infection
than those confined in stables. st.

F.. Reed as chairman of the democratic
state committee was a mistake-a
blunder of which politicians alone
could be guilty ard which the state
convention would not have made.
But made, it may be tolerated. If
it be true that his election to the chair
marship was the price exacted by cer-
tain leaders in the Clark movement for
their loyalty to and activity in behalf
of the ticket, then we are presented
with merely another instance of the
relation of the personal equation to
politics.
In the interest of harmony it is
sometimes necessary to do things
which would not be done in times not
critical, and the election of Reed is
one of these things. The sixth dis
trict, which defeated him for re-elec-
tion, did not count it an offense that
he had supported Clark for the nomi-
nation-that was consistent at the
time with progressive democracy. His
offense was that he had voted with the
reactionaries for Parker at Baltimore
against Bryan, and it is entirely con-
sistent with the reactionaries' charac-
ter to put a gun at the head of the
state committee and threaten assassi-
nation of the party to follow Reeds
defeat.
