The Convention of Republicans
held last Friday at Sioux Falls
Tor the purpose of regeneratinp
the republican party of the state
and patching up the split in the
party, resulted in getting to-
gether about 400 members Of
the party, without one single of
flce holder being in attendance
outside of Minnehaha county

should meet with its proper re-
ward. Friends of Dick Richards
are claiming that it was due
chiefly to his primary law.
whether this is SO or not. Of
course, will not be agreed upon,
no more than the future course
OF the republicans of the state
lhey are hopelessly divided into
two distinct factions and these
two factions are in turn colored bv
all the little factions of each and
every county, not to mention the
Sioux City Tribune" and IFS
faction, which includes Governor
byrne and the Bull Moose office
holders of the state. 1t is quite
likely that the two factions will
get at it hot and heavy at the
coming primary elections and
scrap it out to a finish. Thew
are about evenly divided now as
to numbers, with the ADVANTAGE
with Gov. Byrne and his office
holding appointees.

and furnish the nation with com.
moditles, seem to have beer
more busiiy engaged in under.
taking to control legislation al
Washington, than advertising
what they made and then in turn,
furnishing the consumer with
exactly what they advertised,
instead of some cheap or inferior
article. 1t is true that many of
them do advertise at a tremen-
Gus cost in national publications
in the hope Of creating demand
for their goods.
AS a matter Of fact a better
way to increase the consumption
would be to help the local mer-
chants, who are in a way, the
agents for the manufacturers.
The local merchants are the
masters of the field and they
should get together and demand
of the firms manufacturing pro
ducts for which they are agents
to reach out for the trade in
their communities through the
local papers. This would reduce
the cost of advertising to the
local merchant and also reduce
the cost to the manufacturer,
and at the same time increase
the demand for their special
brand of goods.
1t is time for the local mer-
chant to recognize his import
ance to the manufacturers. and
demand to be given the proper
amount of support in an adver-
tising way.

Perhaps the High Sheriff and
his associates are showing all
their recent activity in rounding
up offenders of the liquor laws.
out Of pure motives and a desire
for the strict observance of
law. Any how, their relentless
and persistent efforts to get
some one into Jail for alleged
blind pigging' is marvellous to
the casual abserver. 1t might
seem harsh to suggest that the
activities of these gentleman are
melted less out of respect for the
law than by an itch in their
palms for the fees connected in
such cases, but unfortunately
their methods furnish basis
Tor that suggestion.

A daily paper states that the
assessment of the railroads of
the state were raised 400 Der
cent by the state tax commission
ms sounds big and ought to
make the railroads squirm, and
1t would too, but for the fact that
tarm property in the state has
been raised as much as 700 per
cent IN many Of the counties
Inls is exactly what has been
contended by nearly every one
IN a position to know, that assess
ment at par would hit the farm
ers OF the state harder than any
one else, for the reason that the
other classes of property have
been paying taxes on an assess

We shall expect to see the farm
ers of the state wake up to the
situation now that they are pay
ing larger proportion of the
states running expenses, than
before, and take a hand in keep
ing the expenses down. 1t is a
well known fact the cost of run

doubled in the past eight
years and with but little protest

Who is to Blame

| We are as anxious as any one
else to see that the majesty of
the law is upheld, and want to
see each and every offender pro-
perly punished in accordance
Herewith. However, at times
1t seems that the community at
large is responsible for much of
the mischief that is blamed to
the individual offender.
Take the matter of blind pig
glng in this community for ex-
ample: There are three brewing
companies licensed to sell their
products at wholesale but the
privilege of selling this same
product at retail has been denied
by the county commissioners, to
the men to whom the majority
Of the citizens and voters delega-
ted that power. Every right
thinking person must admit that

business; that it is inevitable
that some men will engage in
the business of supplying it in
smaller quantities. This being
true is it any wonder then. that
We have in Jail at Bison now

ty expense, for the next term of

be lnhuman to deny these de-
pendant ones support, so of
course the county must feed and

as the father is at liberty and
able to support them himself.
This is only one instance.
there are three or four others
