POLITICAL ETHICS
Senatorial Aspirants Weighing to
Supplant Sterling, the
Primary Choice.

Pierre, Jan. Elm view of the fact
that the standpat republicans have
been very active In claiming the
right to define real republication, -
the methods of these fsctionists in
sxemplifying the principle becomes
very interesting.
On the senatorial question, the re-
dictionary republicans are unblushingly
working along a line that they have
rather loudly proclaimed as high
political treason. Ii has often been
submitted as an ethical proposition,
especially by standpatters that a can
didate who is fairly defeated in a con-
test within the party should gracefully
abide by the result.
No question has been raised as to the
absolute fairness and legality of the
contest in which Robert j Gamble
was defeated by Dean Thomas Sterling,
yet the erstwhile sticklers for political
ethics are going the limit in the line of
.jobbery and tlickery in an attempt to
defeat the expressed republican will.
1t is quite an interesting co-inci.
dence-or circumstance-tha a large
percentage of these designated as al
legged senatorial candidates have suf-
cred recent disappointments in polit-
ical matters at the hands of the voters.
In this contingent may be cited Gam
BILE, Richards. Egan. Branson and
Grigsby.
Without a doubt there are a number
of political leaders in the state, of both
factions, who are getting their light
ming rods in working order fer q per
sonal shock in case the legislature fails
to complete the election of Dean Sterl-
ing on the first ballot. There is an
bryo boom Under way for E. E.
Wagner. who recently resigned as dis
trict attorney. but it is claimed that
this will not be promoted sc long as
there is any prospect of electing Mr..
Stel ling.

who arrived in Pierre Monday even

quite seriously and has established
headquarters here. CANDLES personal
interests are being looked after by A.
L. Wyman and Robert Jones, of Yank-
ton, and A. A. jackson and Geo. A..

tion. He does not expect 10 do n
personal lobbying. but has a suite of
rooms at the st. Charles hotel, where

Washington, Jan. 9.-Congress vas
asked, in a special message from the
president, to appropriate S25O,00O for
continuing the investigation of the
commission on economy and efficiency
into the executive departments Of the
government.
The president expresses the opinion
that the technique and procedure of
every branch and office OF the govern
ment should be submitted to the same
painstaking examination as that Civ
en- those on which reports have been
made. To do this, however, President
Taft says that ample funds must be
provided and he asks that congress
make the s250,OO0 appropriation by
March A for the incoming president
"In my opinion" says the president,
this is not a matter in which the
congress should assume that public
money will be unwisely spent. At a
total cost of about S230,O00 during the
twenty-one months covered by the
work Of the commission facts have
been developed and recommendations
have been made that if followed up
will result in savings of millions OF
dollars each year"
Task Is Difficult One.
Referring to the fact that it has not
been possible for the commission to
make final detailed reports on more
than a few Of the hundreds of offices
in Washington the president says the
reports submitted will serve to illus
trate the character Of results which
may follow an extensive Investigation
Of office technique and procedure.
1T is further to be noted" continues
the president, that the offices which
have been reported on are those which
have been frequently under scrutiny.
From what is known OF the offices out

FARM LIFE BEST
FOR FAMILY MAN
Cost of Living in City Is So Much
Higher That Ordinary Man
Saves Little.
CBy j. C. CUMMINGs)

To the Editor: | am glad to note
the considerable interest being taken
in small farms by those who have
been bent on living in the city.
am glad to state that feel there
is much more enjoyment and happi-
ness on the small farm than there is
in city life, and this | know through
personal experience.
| am a carpenter by trade, learning
the trade while living on farm after
a year or two. l thought | could make
more money in the city, as wages were
better, so | went to the city to work
getting wages ranging from rs to so
cents per hour.
| did not stop to figure the cogt of
living in the city, but | found that it
was so much higher than in the coun-
try that at the end of each month !
was where ! started.
Finally in despair / decided to move
back to the country on small farm.
We got some chickens, a COW and a
hog. and soon found our living came
much easier and | also find have all
the work can do at my trade.
While wages are less per day than
In the city, we get our board in con-
nection, which lessons the expense.
Farm life is more healtbful and pleas
ant than city life.
What, for instance, is more enjoy
able than to go out and see nice
flock OF chickens and at the end of a
day gather few dozen eggs; at night
and morning milk good COW and
have your own good sweet butter and
pure milk for use, and then at the end
of the summer put your winter supply
of produce in the cellar?
This is all possible on the small
farm. and / am certain that if many of
our city brothers knew the advan-
tages of the small farm, they would
not only cry back to the farm" but
they would go.
