Washington. February 14-More than 14o.ooo persons In nine states of the south were treated for the hookworm disease by the Rockefeller sanitary commission dur ing the last year, according to the second annual report of the commission, made public today.

SCOTLAND BON HoMME COUNTY, s. D, THURSDAY. AuGus

Dean Sterling says he is a pro-
gressive, but progressive repub-
lican. He thinks reforms in poll
tics can be worked out thru the
republican party. To say that
one is in favor of progress means
little, for everyone is in favor OF
that as he understands it. What
kind of progress does Mr.. Sterling
favor? The republicans have a.
dopted platform which they
claim is progressive, and it is said
by such progressive statesmen as
Gov. Hadley, of Mo. to be the
most progressive platform ever put
out by the republicans. The demo.
Gratis have given us platform
which they claim is progressive,
and have nominated a candidate
that they claim is progressive to
carry it out. The socialists have
given us a platform they claim is
progressive. The prohibitionists
claim they are progressive. MIR.
La Toilette also claims to be pro-
gressive and he has another kind
of progress to offer Mr.. Roosevelt
has organized another party,
placed himself at its head, and
given US platform that he claims
is progressive. Now which of these
types of progress does Mr.. Ster-
ling endorse? He is asking to be
sent to the senate to help make
laws for us. If elected along which
of these lines will he work? He
says he is progressive republican
and if he is consistent he means
that he would work along republi-
can lines, but we find that he is
giving support to the Roosevelt
electors, which means that he is
helping to promote the Roosevelt
| plans. "The voice is Jacobs voice
but the hands are the hands of
Esau.' If he, or any of the other
candidates, are not going to support
The republican plans of govern-
ment how can any Of them claim
to be republicans, or expect those
who do favor those plans to sup
port them.

The Beresford Republican thinks
that the movement started in Scot
land to defeat the candidates who
endorsed the actions of the Huron
convention is right in spirit, and
that the "ring should be rebuked
for their ac,ion at Huron" But
the editor thinks the move does
not show the right spirit. That to
defeat these candidates would
simply mean the election of demo
Gratis, and that it would be con
fession on the part of the promoters
that they are so sore that they de-
sire to do some thing desperate.
The Republican is mistaken in
the purpose OF the movement. 1t
is not prompted by any spirit OF
desperation or revenge. The Of
fcers Of party are simply the
agents of the voters entrusted with
the duty of carrying out certain
plans which have been promised III
the party platform. If the candi
dates before they are elected OPEN
ly repudiate those plans or refuse
to endorse them, aR was doue ;tt
Huron, what excuse can be gwen
for elecilug them ? l'oIlne:gl
parties are too FRI qnently di-creiit
ed through The failure Of their Of
fcers to G ,rry out the promise Oh
the party, even when they promise
to do so, and if the candidates re-
fuse in advance to remain loyal,
the voters are themselves false to
their promises if they elect such
candidates. This is a movement
calculated to promote honor in
politics, and rebuke treachery. 1t
is true that it might result in the
election of democrats, but when
platforms are repudiated princi-
Piles are no longer involved, and
the election becomes simply q
choice of men. In such contest
an honest democrat is more to be
trusted than dishonest republic
an.

Dean Sterling has served notice
on certain republican newspapers
that he refuses to be read out of
his party. To use his own words:
eff anybody is to be read out of
the party it will be the few who
still continue to promote that
strife, and public opinion will do
the reading out" This ought to
put certain papers and individuals
straight who have been claiming
that Dean Sterling and the rest of
the progressives nominated op the
state republican ticket are no long
or republicans but third party
men. .-Tyndall Tribune.
The villain as he plunges the
knife into his victims heart may
at the same time declare that he is

the fact that the aim and purpose

troy the republican party, and any
candidate claiming to be republ-
can, and holding a position on that
ticket, who sanctions and supports
movement calculated to destroy
the party that has done him honor
is adding treachery to falsehood
We do not deny the right of the
bull moose party to exist, nor ot
any voter who is in sympathy with
its principles to join it. Such q
course is honorable. But if the
candidates nominated on the re-
publican ticket are going to give
their sympathy and support to the
new party why do they not take
it's name? Are they ashamed o
it? or do they hope to gain politi
cal prestige in their strife for Office
by holding on to a time honorec
party name? If this is their pur
pose they are dishonest as well al
