THE HURON CONVENTION

THE HURON CONVENTION
Phe republican state conven
ton met in Huron last week and
adopted progressive platform,
nominated five progressive
presidential electors and a
progressive state chairman.
made no mention of Taft or the
Chicago platform and. omitted
Instructions to the presidential
electors, adjourned and went
home.
1t was a remarkable course
for a state convention to take
and was the product of remark
able circumstances. The pro
gressives were in overwhelming
control and they used it. The
steam roller was rolled. 1t was
the Chicago convention over
again only the other side had
the power. Politically it was
treason to the republican party
and theft to the organization.
Morally it was the assertion of
the republicans of the state that
they refused to be delivered by
questionable methods to a party
thralldom that represented name
more than principle.
The Chicago convention was
most brutal in its methods. Ii
had a majority based solely on
democratic states whose dele
gates were controlled by the
president $ patronage. The ma
fpnal committee organized it
solely in the interest of a certain
presidential candidate. There
was no pretense of deliberation
Or fair play. There was no en-
conragement to the minority to
participate in its deliberations.
The South Dakota convention
was dominated by men who felt
the-stlng of vltuperation at Chi
cago 1t was only human to re-
bel Harmony was not sought
at Chicago. 1t was given little
encouragement at Huron.
From party standpoint the
situation is to be deplored From
the standpoint of independent
manhood it is encouraging. Par
ty must stand for something
more than name. Conventions
should be deliberative bodies
not instruments to register the
designs of shrewd manipulators.
Partisan. appeals are nothing
when they represent no under.
lying principle.
The republican party today is
in a condition approaching an
archy. In the minds of most of
it's adherants it stands for no
deep principle but chiefly is an
office holding machine. If it is
to emerge from this crisis and
regain it's strength it will re.
quire wise leadership. The pub.
lie awaits the moves of the lead
ers. And it can be mentioned
in passing that never before
have the people been so indie.
pendent or SO little influenced by
mere partisan appeals. The
successful party must offer
something tangible. The glori-
Gus history of the past no longer
enthuses.
An intelligent, fair minded,
free thinking people will Judge
the parties next November.

The Yankton commercial club
has resolved that none of its
members need donate to any
charitable enterprise unless the
executive committee has en-

The Aberdeen News states
that it would have been glad to
compromise Oh Gov. Hadley as
a presidential candidate in pre-
ference to either Taft or Roose-
velt. In that case the Herald
and the News have not been
very far apart so far as national
issues are concerned.

At the state convention at
Huron last week Dick Richards Richard dds
declared himself to be a stall

tendency to simplify matters
two years from now when Mr..
Richards comes up again as a

GULF WATERS ARE
UNUSUALLY FRESH
River Floods Pouring Into Salt Water
Plays Havoc With oyster
Industry.

Jackson, Miss, April S.-According
to advices from the gulf coast, the I'M
usual quantity of fresh water in the
Mississippi sound resulting from the
unprecedented rise of the Mississippi
river and other streams that empty in
to the gulf between Mobile and New
Orleans is playing havoc with the
oyster industry.
Multiplied. thousands of oysters are
being killed by the fresh water, and
the normally green color of the gulf is
turning to a tawny brown. The wa
ters are filled with catfish, to the
despair of all fishermen who despis'
this species of the finny tribe.

PLEA FOR REMUNERATION OF
AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS

In the old days, the church was the
center of the life of the people The
whole life of the people, social, educa-
tional, and religious, centered around
the old church. Now all this is chang
ed In this way, | fear the church is
losing it's hold upon the life of the
| country people. 1t has certainly ceas-
ed to be the one center of their life,
as it formerly was
"There may be difference of opin-
ion as to where the new center of
the life of our country people should
! be located. Some think that it should
be in the church; others, that there
should be lyceums or agricultural
clubs; and still others, that it should
be in the country school, No church
can undertake all this cooperative
work. because it is interested in only
one phase of life, but the whole COM
munity is equally interested in the
public school. 1t would seem there
fore, that the school is the natural,
organic center of country life.
eff the rural school is to accomplish
what we expect of it, it must not be
a thing apart from the life of the peo-
pie, as the old school was. We must
take the life and the work of the peo-
pie into the school and carry the
teaching and influence of the school
into the life of the people. The prac-
teal work of the farm and the home
, must go into the school, and the
thought and knowledge of the school
, must go on to the farm and into the
2 home.
