If you notice, the Bull Moose trav-
els in those sections of the country
most in need of fertilizer.-Sioux
Falls Journal.
Governor John Burke of North Da-.
kota is in this state making speeches in
which he is strongly advocating the ell
ection of Woodrow Wilson.
The standpat editor of the Des
Moines Capital, Late Young, predicts
that Wilson will sweep Iowa into the
democratic column this fall.
Alfalfa bred, alfalfa tea, alfalfa
candy are among the new foods and
drinks, and South Dakota is taking
its place in the forefront in develop
ing the industry.
The very fact that many declare
they are still Republicans, yet they
favor Teddy who repudiates the Re
publican party, discloses weakness
in their fidelity to him.
The Brookings Press has been sold,
the purchaser being r. l.. Turner,
formerly editor of the Lake Benton
News, but who has been in the west
for the past couple of years.
Not bit of progress is being made
in the claim that Woodrow Wilson is
the candidate of the bosses. The peo-
pie know better, and even the willy
colonel cannot make them change
their minds.
The Volga Tribune and the Madi-
son Outlook, both progressive Repub.
lican papers, have disavowed the ac
tion of the bull moosers in stealing
the livery of the Republican party of
South Dakota to serve the colonel in.
Secretary Fishers action last Jan
uary in revoking the order of former
Indian Commissioner Valentines
barring religious garb or insignia
from government Indian school, was
upheld by President Taft in an order
made public Monday.
Ipswich Tribune: If you see a num-
Der of citizens wearing aluminium
badges in their coat iapels, don't ask
what they mean. It's simply an in
vitation to real republicans to vote
the democratic ticket in November
From present indications, the invita-
tion will be accepted.
Friday mornings frost was general
over the west and it caught little
unmatured corn. A farmer says the
soft corn was mostly from southern
seed-that corn from local seed was
safely out of the way. The lesson is
one that the newspapers have been
exploiting for years.
Northwestern South Dakota is dem
onstrating it is corn country and an
alfalfa country, as we'll as a wheat
and cattle country. Every bit of
South Dakota is good for something
pretty good, and the homestead coun-
try in the northwest corner is holding
up its end with the best of the older
counties.
Wait till Roosevelt gets to be presi-
dent-just wait till he does-the eagle
will get yanked off that five dollar
gold William so quick he'll lose his
tail feathers, and life sized photo OF
a bull moose will take his place. The
phrase "In God We Trust" will have
to get off and it's seat to Trust Teddy
We Must. CLARK Courier.
South Dakota needs good common
sense man as its governor. The Yes
sey administration has been a farce
and r. NJ. Byrne, now candidate
for governor. has been one of the
star actors. The people just simply
don't want him and their decision at
the polls in November is going to be
very decisive to that effect. Lester
vile Ledger.
There is no reason why q republi-
can should cast vote for Roosevelt
any more than for Wilson. Roose-
welt has gone on record, both in mag
azine articles and public speeches, as
| being in favor of absolute free trade
as between Canada and the United
