Politicians SANDER
New Primary Law

There was a law enacted in
South Dakota which has been mis-
represented so much as the present
primary law. There is always a cause
where there is an effect. In like man
ner there is always a motive where
there is an act. The motive of the
politicians in attacking the new pri-
mary law is very plain. The polite
ians are trying TO retain the control
of the post Offices and other appoint
i've Offices as spoils with which to
build political machines and to control
the government.
The Richards primary law provides
for recommendation of party candi.
dates for postmaster by a direct vote
OF the people. 1t also provides for a
majority vote of the party state CEN
trial committee as "a recommendation
to other appointive offices. The poll
ticians do not want this. They are
therefore trying their best to create

can not exist without spoils of office
to buy support. They know their
days are numbered If the Richards
primary law remains a law, SO they
have gotten up a new primary law
with a trick title ''For the purpose of
endorsing party candidates for presi-
dent" which Is already provided for in
the Richards law; but hope to catch
votes with the title SO as TO repeal
when the politicians proposed pri,
mary law is to be voted on. Mean.
while, they are doing their best with
the aid OF their newspapers to mis-
represent and create prejudice against
the Richards law.
The politicians, when pinned right
down to a good valid reason for their
objection to the LAW are without an
argument, except they complain of the
mass meetings which will not be used
again, also about the expense which
lis not any more than under the old
law after crediting savings in sher
j IFS fees and the extra primary presi
ildential years when the national con,
i lyention is held early as was the case
lin 1908. and the saving In ballots and

Burke's Friends are Confident.

Supporters of Congressman Charles
Fl. Burke, who is contrasting with Sen
ator Crawford for the republican nom
nation for the United States senate,
basing their opinion or developments
in different parts of the state and on
reports from practically every pre-
cinct, this week went upon record with
the prediction that the friends of
Burke had the Crawford men or the
was as to the size of Congressman
Burke's majority over Senator Craw-
ford at the primary elections in March.
As Congressman Burke counts among
his supporters many of the shreWdest
political observers in South Dakota,
the opinion of these men will have
weight and will be given credence
throughout the state.
The campaign of Congressman
Burke is being conducted in an aggres-
sive but dignified manner, and by
those in a position to know is declared
to be making great Roadway in every
part of the state Some Of the ablest
political generals in the state or north
west are acting as volunteers in be
half of the of Mr.. Burke and
are said to be doing work of the most
effective kind. Some of these men
are former strong supporters Of Sen
ator Crawford and the present state
administration. and their influence
will be felt in behalf of Mr.. Burke at
the primary election in March.
With only about five weeks inter
vening between now and the time of
the primary election the supporters of
Nh. Burke declare emphatically that
every day between now and the cleo
ton will but Increase the majority by
which he will bring about the polit-
ical downfall Of his senatorial oppon-
ent.

Roy Girl

The El Paso Herald last week
gave a graphic account of an en-
counter which Miss Belle Van
Horn had with a would-be rob-
ber.
She was crossing the park at
night when a mexican struck her
and attempted to grab her hand-
bag, She grabbed him and call
ed for help. A man came to her
assistance and they held the thief
till the police came. The Herald
gives Misc Van Horn credit for
great bravery and quick wit in
doing what many men would not
have dared to do,

There probably never was a
time when so many sleds we're
driven to Roy as has been this
winter, Nearly a month of
heavy snow and good sleighing
has caused everyone who has to
60 on the roads to built a sled of
some kind and it is amusing to
note the design of some of them.
Had some people realized that
we we're to have such a long sea-
son of sleighing there would
have been some classy turnouts
with bells and other perquisites
of a northern winter.

Leo Wagner left Saturday for
Waterloo, Iowa, for a visit of a
month or more and it is the gen.
eral belief that he will bring a
bride with him when he returns
Leo has been fixing things up
in fine shape out at the claim and
we suspect now we know the
reason. His parents are living
on the claim during his absence
and many friends are impatiently
awaiting his return tosee the lucky
Iowa girl who will come with

Stop it, Or :?

While the dance was in progress
Wednesday evening some young
miscreants whose identity is
known went to the Oriental
Hotel and broke three large panes
of glass in front of the build
ing.
The parties are natives ard it
appear that they were prompted
to this deed of violence by the
refusal Of the Misses Maldonado
to associate or dance with them.
these same parties broke a win
dow for them the night of the
Christmas dance for the same
reason. In view of the fact that
they came to the dance drunk,
disorderly, dirty and unkempt
we hardly see that nice girls
were under any obligation to
dance with them.
The ladies are 10th to institute
proceedings against these thugs
as they shrink from the notoriety
it would bring but it is thoroly
understood by a number of
decent men that the next time it
occurs there will be an able-bodied
guard near to administer sub
stantial ppnlshment.
1t is q disgrace 10 the towr
that such characters have gone
thus long unpunished.
When confronted with the pros.
pect of summary justice they put
up $3.50 to cover the damage
and, we hope they haye got their
lesson.

AS Ben Sees it

Ben Sturgis found time to
answer a few questions since his
return from Deming, where he
has been looking after an estate
belonging to Mrs. Sturgs. He
reports the land recently sold
there by the State as covered
with mesquite and soap weed and
estimates it will cost $1,000 per
acre to clear it ready for the
plow.
Ben has lived here for over
six years and he gives it as his
conviction that he would not trade
his half section here for four
times the acreage anywhere
between here and the Arizona
line. He is in position to know,
too, what he is talking about and,
while business interests may take
him to the south end for a time
he considers this mesa the best
part of New Mexico and is ready
to back his opinion.
