ROOSEVELT IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Colonel Roosevelt spent Saturday
in South Dakota and was greeted in
Sioux Falls by the largest crowd of
people assembled in this city. The
Argus Leader estimated the number
of people on the Street to greet Col.
Roosevelt at $4,000 but an outside
newspaper man who is used to esti-
mating crowds, said he thought there
were 10000 people on the streets.
Whichever estimate is correct, 1t Is
certain that the crowd was the larg-
est ever seen in Sioux Falls. The peo-
pie had filled the huge tent an hour
before Col. Roosevelt reached 1t, and
acres OF folks overlooked the space
about the tent in a vain effort to hear
some of the things which the Colonel
said.
The people of South Dakota believe
in Col. Roosevelt. They believe in
him because they have confidence in
his absolute honesty, In his great
ability, and in his patriotism; and the
greeting on Saturday was South OAK
ota's testimony that in their judge
ment Roosevelt made good when he
was Deputy Sheriff of Dakota Terri
tory, that he made good when he was
President Of the United States, and
that he is making good as a private
citizen. Hestands today as the Fore
most Private Citizen of the world.
South Dakota honored herself in Civ
ing him the great reception accorded
him in this city on Saturday.

upon justice at all times to the men
who do the worlds work.
R EG ULATION OF COMMERCE.
The progressives do not believe the
states can regulate commerce. The
progressives believe commerce must
not be destroyed or promoted because
some corporations in commerce are
big; the progressives hold that COM
MERGE must be promoted by making
all corporations honest that fill The
trade channels of America.
The republicans have made the
trusts proitable-to those who con
troll the trusts and manipulate their
capital and their products. The de-
mocrats would make the trusts pro-
titable for the lawyers who heckle The
trusts with useless litigation.
The progressives believe the trust
may be profitable for those who con-
troll the trusts and that when the
people control the trusts, as the peo-
pie control the national banks, the
trusts may be made profitable for the
people. The progressives feel that
we have come to the place where the
people must either control the trusts
or the trusts under the republican
ideals Of the late COS will control the
people. To make prosperity a fetch
leads to a %plutcracy; to make justice
an ideal leads to a democracy.
PROG RESSIVES OR SOCIALISTS.
To reject,the progressive ideals Of
government control leaves open just
other alte rnative that OF govern
ment ownership. 1t will be either
the progressives or the socialists who
will solve the problem Of creating a
just mmer which shall eradicate
chronic poverty.
Poverty in a world Of surplus is a
social crime. There is enough food
and clothes and housing and heat for
all. The trouble with the world is
not that we dc not all work hard
enough. The trouble lies in the
machinery of distribution. Too few
people get what they really earn,
while too many people get what they
do not earn. Commerce is damned up
and clogged by injustices that laws
will clear out.
= The progressive party has offered
definite proposal. 1t believes that
poverty as a national disease may be
cured by national control OF commerce.
That is the law and the prophets of
the progressive party in the land with
a fighting chance for first place.
BASED ON A NATIONAL NEED.
The growth of the new party has
been marvellous. But 1t is not a mush-
room growth. 1t is bused upon a Ia
tional need for a national party. with
a national remedy for a national evil.
So it Is highly immaterial whether
this election shall be like that Of So
or 6O.-Sioux City Tribune.

RIGHTS OFTHE PEOPLE.
We furnish the greatest market IN
the world. AS citizens our laws, our
civilization, our customs, our habits
of men and families, give us rights In
the profits of the commerce which we
establish. We have % asserted our
rights. Commerce is interstate.
State regulation Of commerce-the
railroads the trusts, labor, and all the
forces that keep commerce alive, the
conservatism of u natural resources.
the control Of currency, and the con-
troll of monopolies III patents and in
trademarks-all these things, under
state control, evade justice.
Poverty may not be checked by the
state. That eliminates the democrat.
ic party as a construction agency In
the new order. 1t will persist as a
critical conservative party; but Is a
force in the actual doing of things the
democracy is useless.
The republican party, in the hands
of the bosses, the jobbers of prosper.
ity, who believe that the rich should
be permitted to thrive because they
| are big, so that the little poor may
| get the crumbs from the feast.
DECAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY
The republican party represents an
idea as outworn as the doctrine of
states rights. The republican party,
even under Roosevelt-who as its
leader tried to be honest and fair with
the people was named by a reaction
airy organization that levied tribute
on the great industrial combinations
promised them an immunity from
legal restriction that Roosevelt had to
repudiate as president.
The basic idea of the republican
party is prosperity. Its face is turn
ed back to the days of the p%lutocracy
of the full dinner pail as an incident
to the full automobile.
But the fundamental idea of the
new party is not prosperity; it is
Justice. The progressives believe in
the full dinner pail, but not as an in
cident to anything. Their solution
of the labor problem is not dependent

William Allen White Tells How Progressive
Meet Needs of the Nation and
Can Dispel Poverty
MOVEMENT WILL NOT DOWN
Regardless of Results at the Polls in November Fight Will
Continue-Issues Clearly Defined

The most important point to DC
settled in the November election, sc
far as the progressive party Is concern
ed is this:
Is it $50 or 60? Is it Fremont or
Lincoln?
The election or defeat of Colonel
Roosevelt Is incidental and rather
episodal in it's relations to che pro-
gressive party. The important thing
about the campaign is that the pro-
gressive party definitely is launched,
That it's platform has been written,
that the free fighting forces of Amer
lean politics have united and that the
permanence of the progressive party
is assured.
The eight weeks campaign that be-
gan on August T., has proved that
there Is room in American politics fol
a distinctly liberal or radical party
"a party that shall turn its attention
to the consideration of political,
social and economic questions from a
national viewpoint.
The poll of the New York Herald,
which is opposing bitterly the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Roosevelt, indicates the
progressives are certainly second, and
possibly first, In a majority of Ameri.
car states.
NOT A SECTIONAL PARTY.
The reception Of Colonel Roosevelt
in the 27 states he visited recently in
dicates TINT the party is not a section
al party, Its grasp of questions is ma
tional. 1t has taken root. Whether
it shall come into power now or four
years from now, is not Of the highest
Importance. The main thing is that
the progressive party Is established in
our national politics.
The need of the new party is found
In the limitations of the old parties.
The world problem Of the new century
is the eradication of such chronic pow
erty as is caused by the action of en-
vironment upon humanity.
Poverty is a national disease. Its
cure must come In a national remedy.
The causes of chronic poverty are
found in the inequities of distribu-
tion of our great surplus of wealth.
And we distribute our surplus wealth
poorly because commerce in America

Dyeing.

The practice OF dyeing is so ancient
that IL would he folly to attempt to say
where or when it originated The
place or period of its genesis no one
can tell or even guess. AS far back
as history or tradition can take us we
find the dyeing vat Phoenicia was
famous for its rich dyes, as was Egypt
also. Modern chemistry does not seem
to add much to the efficacy of the art
The colors of the most ancient times
of which we have any knowledge were
as fast as any that can be made to-
day. In fact, 1t is held by some au-
thorities that the men of four or five
thousand years ago possessed secrets
about dyeing that would be greatly
appreciated by us If we could get hold
of them New York American.

Suicide and the Wes.her.

Suicide is most frequent in summer,
when the air is clear and the sun
shines. In Europe the maximum Of
suicides Is reached in June and the
minimum in December Yet there are
fewer suicides in the torrid than in
the temperate zone In the United
States, in all seasons, there are more
suicides on sunny days than on cloudy
days. Some theorists reason that fine
weather aggravates the mental depres-
sion of the unhappy by its contrasting
sunshine. In dark weather there are
few suicides and fewer In time of
war or following some great catas-
trophe. During the first three months
that follow a devastating earthquake
there are fewer deaths by suicide than
before the cataclysm.-Harpe
