Well, Helen, what remedy do you
offer9 Would you raise the standards
so that the most morally inclined
wouldn't have to stoop to them?
Would you lower the standard so
much the mass would have a lookin?
Or, would you establish a sliding
scale of justice? In the latter case,
and considering the present attacks
on the character Of the law courts of
the nation, to whom would you dele
gaze power to determine how far up
or down the scale should slide for
every particular case? It's a pretty
big problem you We raised, Helen.

EGAN'S LONG LEAD

The long lead attained in the tlrst
days of the campaign by George W..
Egan in his canvass for governor, over
the state machine, is daily lengthenlng.
Mr.. Egan's forceful and commendable
arguments since the speaking campaign
opened has strengthened him with the
plain people to sucheextent hat it thas
frightened the machine bosses who, at
this time, in the hope of beating back
the rising tide of popular favor, have
started up their mud throwing appa ra-
tus. Mr.. Egan is a strong minded man;
he stands for strict economy in the ad-
ministration of state affairs; he is an
advocate of better state government;
he resists the wrongs that need resist
ance; he does not hesitade to tell bis
hearers where he is at upon any ques-
ton wherein the people are or may be
concerned, should he be nominated and
elected. Those best posted on the Fo-
litical situation are confident that Mr..
Egan will be given a majority vote in
primaries in June.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Entered at the POST Office at Pierre. South Da

During all his more than thirty years
of residence in Dakota aud South Da
kota, Congressman Chas. II. Burke
has always been booster for South
Dakota and has never considered get
ting a. home in an outside state. The
fact that there is candidate against
bin this year who has fitted up home
in Montana, with the expectation of
leaving the state, will cause the peo-
pie of the Second congressional district
to take more interest in seeing that
Chas. II. Burke is nominated in June
than ever before. 1t will take big
ger book than pamphlet on the part
of his opponent to explain why the vot-
ers should send man from South Da-
kota to represent them in congress
whose home interests are in another
state. The people of South Dakota
have had enough of paying salary to
state officials, who leave the state so
soon as the salary has been cut off.
