HAS NO GOOD INTENTIONS

Aberdeen News: The Democratic
administration has about determined
to no longer treat with Huerta. Pos
sibly because Huerta succeeded in
hoodwinking the administration into
a beliefi in his good Intentions which
enabled him to proceed unhindered in
his plans for doing away with what
little appearance of constitutional
government still remained in Mexico.
But Schoolmaster Wilson has shaken
a warning finger at Huerta and cried,
Naughty Naughty" at the specta
Gle of president imprisoning mem
bers of the house of deputies, and has
warned him that he mustn't be harsh
with the imprisoned deputies. And
of course Huerta will not be harsh
with them. If he finally decides to
put them out of the way, doubtless he
will put into effect some speedy
means Of execution, refrainihg from
torturing them.

EXHIBIT DOES GOOD WORK

South Dakota's exhibit at the Illi-

amount of praise for this state from
the citizens of Illinois, and Spring

Rapid City formerly of Pierre, and
who was chief clerk of the house OF

the people being much impressed with
the beautiful exhibit Of corn and al
falfa particularly.
The Illinois people marvel that as
good soil as theirs, which sells at
from $3.50 to $500 an acre, should be
sold here for $50 to $75. The office at
Pierre is receiving such a great
amount of inquiries as q result OF
these exhibits, in the ways of those
desiring to settle here, that it cannot,
be doubted the exhibit and McCaf-
frees system of expleiting South Da-
kota is igetting immediate favorable

MccARTER FOR GOVERNOR

Present. indications, supported by
information from different parts of
the state, point toward Judge James
w. McCarter of Edmunds county as
the standard bearer for the democrats
of South Dakota in the campaign
next year. Since his announcement
several weeks ago his candidacy has
been looked upon with favor by every
element of the party and he has been
gaining ground generally through the
state. 1t is said by the leaders'tbat
he will have the united support of the
johnson and Wickhem factions and
this will practically assure him the
nomination without opposition in the
primaries.
Judge McCarter is about as years
of age, Of Scotch-Irish decent, and
has striking personality. He is a
man of exceptionally good principles
and character, absolutely sound on
all public questions, and is reputed
to be an accomplished public speaker
and debater. He is noted for absol-
ute fairness in both his private and
official life and his many friends and
admirers believe that he would make

BETTER MEN

Under the Richards primary law,
the initiatory proceeding of the min
ority and the majority proposal COM
mittees in the creation of the declar-
ations of principle and the choice of

These are consequences of competi-
ton between the two proposals with

HE WILL PUSH FORWARD.

President Wilson is determined that
the big measures by which the people
will judge his administration shall be
written upon the statute books early
enough for a fair trialof them before
the next congressional election, and for
a thorough trial before the 1916 presi-
dental election comes. around. His
little speech at the white house, after
ne signed the tariff bill, swept away
the last vestige of doubt that congress
will be here until it enacts currency
measure. That may mean the merg-
ing OF the two sessions, but the chances
now in favor the passage of currency
bill before the regular session begins,
even though the interval between NAV
be very brief one.
The president has shown himself to
be too astutea politician to lose the adj
vantage in which the present situation
finds him. His forces in congress are.
lined up and well in hand. a. recess
without currency legislation might
throw the whole combination out Con-
gress has learned that Mr.. Wilson has
an iron will and shrewdly suspects that
people sympathize with him in his poll
icy OF pushing things to a conclusion at
once. His victory in tariff legislation
has immeasurably strengthened his po-.
sition so far as his control ever congress-
goes.

ANOTHER TEA PARTY

Huron Huronite: While the loss Of
life by the burning of the steamship
Volturno does not total anywhere
near that which came with the de-
struction of the Titanic, the affair
was appalling enough in many of it's
features.
The Volturno was we'll equipped
with life saving appliances, enough
to nave taken off every soul on board,
they were rendered practically use
less on account of the storm that be-
set the burning ship and the heavy
rolling sea.
Wireless telegraphy brought sever
al vessels to the scene and all night
long they stood by unable to take off
the people on board the doomed ship,
on account of the storm that render
ed approach impossible for several
hours.
Finally 52l were saved of the ee4 on
board. The heroism displayed in the
rescue is story yet to be told, but
imagination can readily supply many
Of the yet missing details. IA.
The Titanic went down in a placid
sea. The long list of deaths was due
to inadequate preparations for the
unusual. On board the Volturno
these safeguards were not wanting
but the violence of the tempest rem.
dered them useless. Against such a
condition human foresight cannot
prevail.

PROPOSAL COMMITTEE

On the first Tuesday in December
of this year, there will be mass
meeting of all of the parties, held in
the court house, for the purpose of
electing the first membership of the
minority and majority proposal CON-
mittees as provided in section So of
chapter 201 of the laws of 1911, and
there has been much dispute among
and others interested as to whether or
not precinct committeemenss shall be
chosen by the entire body of electors
present from all parts of the county,
or from the electors present from the
precinct for which the committeeman
is to be chosen. In an opinion rem
dered the attorney general has held
that while the language is somewhat
uncertain, it is his opinion that.the
precinct proposal committeeman
should be chosen by the entire body
voting upon each committeeman. The
statute says:
Aoe eAO PulPooo VI clcCVlbs ohO
member from each precinct for each
county committee-a mass conference
of the party members may be called. {"
And further in the same section,
the statute uses the expression ''con-
ference body" in speaking of this
mass meeting, clearly indicating that
it was the intention of the enactors
of the statute that the entire gather
ing should. act as one body.

NO TINE TO BE
SPLITTING HAIRS

The lines in the currency fight are
tightening as the end OF the session
draws near. Some men are faltering
who were expected to stand fast.
One of these is Senator Norris, of
Nebraska, a good progressive. He is
allowing partisanship to bias his
mind.
Norris is against private private
monopoly of credits, but he fears
that government control through a
broad named by the president would
mean party machine.
Is the interstate commerce commits
sion q party machine? Are the vari-
GUS scientific bureaus and agencies of
the government party machines? Are
the army and navy party machines?
We guess that if the senator's own
party were in power he wouldn't be
using this argument.
OF course there isn't any kind Of
government which mayn't be abused.
Are we, therefore, to do Without gov
ernment?
The privately controlled money
trust has been quite political ma,
chine at times, but the people had no
way to get at 1t.
Now Wilson proposes to vest con-
troll of credits in public trust which
the people can get at, and the senator
from Nebraska cries that it is play
for partisan power.
We expect henchmen of the money
trust to say that. But of free men
like Norris we expect better things.
Partisanship isn't what it used to
be, senator; the folks are broadening
out. They'd make quick funeral
for a party which should try to use
credits as vote getting clubs.
