WEST SIDE is DEMOCRATIC

Western South Dakota went demo
cratic on the vote for presidential cleo
tors and the vote for governor by {
majority of about 1900 votes, and many
counties elected democratic county ane
legislative candidates. The vote on the
head of the ticket and the vote on gov
ernor ran neck and neck while on the
other side of the river johnson and the
ticket lost. 1t proves that the demo
cratic strength in South Dakota lies
west of the Missouri river.

BREAK INTO YOUR HOUSE

American Republic: The New
York World, q radical democratic
paper, ont a very ably edited, real
newspaper, has come out with an ed
itorial on Wilson's election Which,
really means something and really
analizes the situation better than any
editorial | have seen. II calls parti.
cnlar attention to Governor Wilson'S
call on the people to break into their
own house. Because Of the strength
and unique way of putting this to the
people am quoting it as follows:
Nothing in Gov. Wilson'S cam.
paign speeches carried more weiRht
than his promise to free the peoples
government from its sordid entangle-
ments. Nothing that he said was
more convincing than his repeated
assertion that progress could not DO
expected at the hands Of = govern.
ment that was controlled. Nothing
in his oratory receiued heartier re-
spouse than his sharp advice to Am
ericans Break into your own house
and occupy it,
Several measures long demanded
by the people are now pending. Some
have been passed one house repeated
ly and been defeated or pigeonholed
in the other. This deadlock has not
been due to any uncertainty on the.
part OF the people. II has been caus-
ed by an entangled government, by 8
controlled government. The people
have not occupied their own house.
The democratic house Of repre-
sentatives, re elected and reinforced,
has been at work upon these bills for
Two years. If the people had Occur
pied the senate and the executive
mansion these measures would have
been on the statute books long ago.
Not day should now be nesdlessly
lost in giving them life and force.
Important to every legitimate In
terest as the bills reducing tho cost
of living, Furnishing corrupt practices;
and regulating the use Of injunctions
unquesttonably are, the moral effect
of their immediate adoption will bo$
even more impressive. There ID . de-
mand for action. In too many places
it is almosta desparing demand.
1.-The wisdom Of showing at once
how effective the popular will may bs5
made by a party that is true to its
pledges cannot bedoubted. We must
have such demonstration to silence
the agitators who preach violence.
Millions of good men who have dis
trusted both republicans and demo-
Gratis must have an assurance Of this
kind to prove to them that third par
ties are unnecessary, even mischiev-
ious.
I" 'Progressiveness as separate
political enterprise should have no
excuse ina self governing country.
The very name of it is q reproach.
Even noisy and declamatory progress
siveness may be controlled and en-
tangled, as we have seen.
The larger part and the better
part of the progressives may be added
to the democracy in six months ~

The United States Supreme Court
by refusing to hear the appeal from

BEARS HAVE LITTLE CHANCE
Capture of Game They Go After
Certainty.

A curious method of capturing wild
bears is employed in certain parts Of
India. Four or five sturdy men are
armed, two with long spears cross
barred on the handles close to the
sharp two-edged blade, and two or
three with ten-foot bamboos, of which
the ends are smeared with bird lime.
Thus equipped and leading several
powerful dogs, the hunters sally forth
an hour or so before dawn. They
pass along the base of the hills with
the fresh morning wind blowing up
from the plains below
Should the hunters be lucky, it is
not long before the fierce dogs wind
the bear, and though the dogs of this
Species hunt silently, their straining
on the leash informs their owners that
the game is nigh.
The dogs are slipped and disappear
in the semi-darkness. Soon their
roaring and growing indicate that
they have found the game. The hunt
ers run up to the spot where the bear
is fighting with the dogs.
The men with the lined poles poke
the bear in the ribs and adrOitly twist
the ends in its long hair. thus holding
1t fast on each flank. The spearmen
complete the operation by repeated
spear thrusts.
1t is said that party Of experienced
men with good dogs never fail to Sc
cure the bear in this way.

And l never can see why a man

Sunday noOn-a cloudy Sunday
when Paul had felt too tired to go to
church and Frances had gone alone.
Returning in the state Of readiness for
irritation that often follows spiritual
uplift, she found her husband in the
parlor. haloed by tobacco smoke and
encompassed by Sunday papers. Every
shade was up to its full height, every
curtain pushed aside
The sermon had been on THE Sins

that Frances felt she could have said
Strengthening curtains and shades. AS
her efforts narrowed the light which
fell on her husbands paper. he looked
up with some annoyance
you make 1t so dark I can't read"
he commented
There's no sense Is having every
thing sprawled wide open like that. 1t
makes the house look horrid to have
the shades clear up to the top of the
windows
Then came the remark with which
this began and Frances retort. With
the words a recollection of the sermon
flashed into her mind and she shut her
lips tightly and stopped TO pick up the
scattered papers.
Here, I'll do that" said Paul, ris-
ing lazily. But what's the sense Of
picking them up before I've done read
ing them?"
They look so untidy!"
There's no one here to be hurt by
it except us, and certainly don't mind
it,"
And l certainly do"

and then to be met by thing like this
the moment you got into the house.
What was the use?
Like a profane echo came the MUIR
muir from the room she had quilted:
"Oh, hell, what's the use?"
Frances stood still. Should she go
upstairs and cry or go back and laugh.
! Then-was it the sermon or the
swear?-she began to giggle. That
saved the day She dropped into a
seat on the bottom step and broke into
a shrek of laughter.
"Hullo, What's the matter?" from
Paul.
TITS SO funny: Here I come home
feeling piONS and prayerful, and lose
my temper the FIRST thing and scold,
and you swear! Say, isn't 1t funny?"
eff that's the way you look at it"
well, it is! Leave your old papers
all over the room if you want. and
put the pesky shades out of the win
