Now, let us bring South Dakota political history,
down to date, if you please. 1t is said by some of MIR.
Crawford S defenders that while lie may have wavered
a blt III his early experiences as a senator he has been
reasonably true to progrcssivism during the past two
or three years, and is therefore entitled to a vote of
confidence. Well, let's inquire a little about this mat
ter OF Waverng, this hating between two opinions.
Any OF you remember the campaign Of 1912? Does
any one recall that Mr.. Crawford lifted even a little
finger, or raised his magnificent voice even to a whis-
per, IN behalf Of Dean Sterling during the primary
campaign? Ii anybody remembers anything of the
sort let him speak up now or forever hold his peace.
Not until after Mr.. Sterling had been safely elected
by the legislature, and has his passports tucked into
his pockets, did Mr.. Crawford rush into print with a
string OF ~epithets longer than a fence rail. which he
hurled up and down not only in an effort to puncture
the crust OF the earth, but well calculated to crack the
pale-blue canopy of heaven, in order to save Sterling
from dangers which he had already overcome. No,
Mr.. Crawford doesn't seem able to change his inner
most disposition any more than d leopard can change
his spots.

Lincoln was once a clerk in a grocery store, and
all grocery stores sold whiskey. Later he engaged in
the greatest forensic contest in the history of our coun-

friends, but a United States senatorship and a presi-
dency were at stake, and they laid on and spared not.
and Were not too particular about hitting below the
belt. On one occasion Douglas, becoming exasperated
over Lncoln's moralizations, sn~eeringly referred. to
the fact that he once saw Lincoln selling wliskey.

The Mitchell Republican, contededly quite impair
tal in its editorial discussions, takes President Wilson
to task for his influence in trying to get Mr.. Glass
seated in the United States senate from Alabama in
the face of the recent amendment to the federal con-
Stitntion which requires that senators shall be elected
by the people Of their respective states. Mr.. Glass
was appointed by the governor, and the senate, by the
marrow majority of one vote, refused to seat him. We
are inclined to agree with the Republican that the
president should have been on the other side. Among
the democratic senator's who led the fight in opposition
to the seating of Glass was Thomas j. Walsh of Mon
tana, who lived at Redfeld in the early days. ~

The Turner county papers are charging that the
attorney general s Office is not the only one that has
been drawing two salaries-one from the state and
the other from a county. 1t appears, according to the
statements from Turner county, that Railroad Com
missioner Murphy continued for some time to draw his
salary as county auditor while also getting a salary
as railroad commissioner from the state. This sort Of
business savors too much altogether of a species Of
graft. If Mr.. Murphy is worth his salary to the state
he should devote his whole time to the business Of the
state. Ii he neglected his obligations to the state,
then he was dereict of duty and was paid for service
which he did not render. Ii he neglected his duties
as county auditor, then he was cheating the people Of
Turner county. In either case his position is not an
enviable one from the. standpoint of good citizenship.
