The steady increase in motor truck

Best Built Car

We believe that nobody
doubts that REQ the Fifth is the
best-built car in its class. We
spend on each car about $500
for what most makers call e1-
tremes.
The steel Is made to formula.
Every part is subjected to radi-
cal tests. All driving parts are
given so per cent over-capac-
ity.
The car has Is roller bear
ings. 1t has 100 drop forg-
ings. Close-f1tting parts are
ground over and over to give
utter exactness.
Each car is built to run for
many years as we'll as 1t runs
when new. And each Is built
as though Mr.. Olds built 1t for
himself.

The Republicans have favored
consistently the direct form of tax
alton which levies duties upon i'm
ports, which duties of course are
added to the prices paid by the
public without Identification as
federal taxes Mitchell Republican.
This has been a favorite conten-
tion OF those who oppose protes-
tive tariff, but experience is not
confirming it. If it is true that
the amount of tariff is "added to
the price paid by the public" then
a reduction of tariff would mean a
reduction of the price paid. 1t
would be unfair to compare pres.
ent prices, as the war may have
affected them, but the new tariff
law, with it's big reductions, wa ,
in force over seven months before
the war began As a result of til
reduction did any one notice any
reduction in the price paid by the
public !?

The German siege gun known as
.he caterpillar type, now being used
with such neadly effect by the Ger,
mans, WAS invented by German
American named Gathman, and
the first model and shells were
made at the steel works in Chicago
a few years ago. The invention
was offered to our government but
no sale was made. The German
government later purchased the in
vention and gave Gathman II po-
sition in the Krupp factory. The
gun makes possible the explosion
of gun cotton after the projeetile
has struck it's mark, and the gun

Howard Shober, who was cam

ford during the primary campaign,

committee to investigate the vote

why it went SO strongly for Charles

Burke's vote in other parts Of the

have been nominated if he hadn't
received single vote from Law

will show that the voters had but
little confidence in MIR. Crawford

Is there political campaign in
Iowa this year? Judging from
the editorials in the Sioux City
Tribune the one thing necessary TO
preserve the nation is the defeat Of
Chas. II. Burke OF South Dakota
for United States senator OF
course the friends of MIR. Burke
have one consolation. The Fri
bune has always opposed MIR,
Burke before and he has always
been elected. The Tribune seems
to be supporting Gov. Byrne for
reelection, and yet the same pri-
mary that nominated Mr.. Byrne
also nominated Mr. Burke. Tie
voters could not have been honest
in the support Of one and dishon.
est in the support Of the other.
They could not have been deceived
in their support of Mr.. Burke, for
they knew the record of Mr. Burke
as we'll as they did that Of MIR
Byrne. Besides, the argument
that they were deceived would be
a bad blow to the direct primary
system which the Tribune 80 strong
ly upholds 1t really looks as
though the Tribune either doubts
the efficacy of the primary system
or else it is nursing personal
grudge against Mr.. Burke

Last week The Citizen Republi can
was pleased to present to it's reader a
statement relating to Senate Bill No.
55, known as the Aberdeen Nor NAL
School Extension Course of Study
Bill, which was referred to the voters
of the state, and by them will be
either adopted or rejected at the
election held on November 3. This
week The Citizen Republican desires to
briefly supplement that statement by
submitting few of the many reasons
why this proposition. which will
appear on one Of the ballots as No. B.
should receive negative vote at the
hands of the elector
The proposed amendment, if enacted
into law. will practically duplicate
the educational work properly belong
ing to its accomplishment alone to the
State University, located at Vermillion
many years ago. No other state in
the Union has deemed it necessary to
maintain more than one State Uni.
versity. A state does not need two
universities any more than it needs
two capitals, or two governors, or two
supreme courts.
The proposed act is, to be sure, very
simple on it's face, but careful
reading of its full text shows clearly
and conclusively that, if passed, it
would give the Aberdeen Normal
School a university grade course of
study. 1t wonld seem as if South
Dakota already bad sufficient
number of schools of collegiate
capacity without increasing the
collection or even advancing one of
the normal schools to university
grade at large public expense.
This bill was aimed in part as q
blow at the Board of Regents, hut the
law creating the board vested dis
cretion of wide magnitude in their
management and control otherwise.
the board would become a mere
ornamental appendage rather than a
seful administrative body. The

board is given authority to manage
the educational institutions. The
board is really forbidden to multiply
unnecessary courses in the educational
system practically forbidden to
duplicate institutions. The passage
of the referred act will ,nullify the
board s Judgment and decislon and
throw the extension doors wide open.
leaving precedent for all other
normal and other schools in the state
to follow.
1t would also appear that the Aber-
deem Normal School has already been
highly favored, in having the State
Industrial Training School attached
to and made part of it. Surely,
such an addition would be greatly
appreciated at Madison. Spearfish or
Springfield.
The enactment into law Of this bill
will tend to encourage further and
perhaps endless lobbying and logrolling
in the management of our educational
titutions. A larger loyalty to
those we now have and a greater
liberality in their maintenance, might
be more seeming and dignifed and
much more likely to be productive
of profitable results.
Therefore, electors are ear nestly
urged to vote No" when they reach
No. 3 on their ballot containing the
three proposed initiated and referred
laws By voting in the negative, the
present educational interests of the
state will be greatly strengthened
rather than become dissipated because
of division or duplication of their
distinctive work, aims and purposes.

in report by military commission,
the French government reached the:
conclusion that the drum was no long
er a necessary article of military

the drum was serious encumbrance
in marching; that rain impaired its
usefulness; that it's calls could not be-,
