NEWEST MARVEL OF THE DEEP

Steaming in exultant strength
across the blue Atlantic on it's first
voyage to the new world, the largest
and finest passenger craft that ever
foated, the Vaterland from Hamburg
is now ploughing the deep. 1t is as
long as five city blocks. Its carrying
capacity is as great as that of 40 long
freight trains. 1t could house an
army. 1t has the sumptuousness, the
luxury and the conyeniences of the
finest hotel. Moreover, it's builders
have exhausted the wit and cunning
of man in their endeavors to make it
safe. 1t is really two ships in one, 80
that, should disaster befall the outer
skin, the inner would keep the great
boat atioat. "Unsinkable, the ex-
perts say. So they said of the Ii
tanic.
Meanwhile, across the paths of
travel in the North Atlantic, drifting
down in glitter or fog, stretches a
great ice foe, $50 miles long, some
sea captains say. Luckily this men
ace to human safety is known and
charted. Fortunately the sea dog on
the Vaterland's quarter deck is
watchful and careful. In the zone of
danger there will be no "full speed
ahead Yet let's hope there'll be
no test of the great greyhound's en-
durance; no mishap to pit the puny
strength of man in a death grapple
with the might of nature, but the

UNEAsINEss AS ToRICHARDs

Many of the republican leaders con
tinue to be much worried as to the
part to be played in the approaching
campaign by r. o. Richards, of Hur-
on, who at the March primary cleo
tion was candidate for nomination
on the republican ticket to the office
of governor. He made an active cam
paign of only about two weeks, and
in that short time made such good
impression that at the primary elec.
tion he captured about 10, 900 votes.
1t has at intervals been strongly in
timated in dispatches from Huron
that Mr., Richards would in all likeli-
hood be an independent progressive
republican candidate for election to
the Office of governor at the Novem-
ber election, and these intimations
have caused alarm among some of the
republican candidates. They fear
that with the strength displayed by
Mr.. Richards at the March primary
he might easily play hayoc with some
Of the republicans if he decided to be-
come an active independent candi-
date and made personal speaking
campaign extending over two months
or more. Capturing as many votes as
he did in March after campaign of
only about two weeks, they are un-
able to figure out what he might ac-
complish If he was actively in the
field for two months or more.

OLD FT. PIERRE

Huron Huronite: A newspaper of
Pierre refers to a time when there
was little besides trading post where
Fort Pierre now stands, referring to
the past that lies beyond the era Of
settlement.
That is a mistake. The Fort Pierre
trading post of old was located a
couple of miles, more or less, up the
Missouri from where Fort Pierre now
stands, the Fort Pierre of today be-
ing then an Indian village of few
log houses.
1t was in 1876 that the channel of
the Missouri left the landing at Fort
Pierre and John Hornick, of Sioux
City, Black Hills freighter, built a
warehouse at the mouth of Bad river
and that was the beginning of the
present Fort Pierre, the old site be-
ing abandoned.
The first encampment of Black
Hills invaders was on the site of the
old trading post and from there John
Dillon freighted the first supplies in
to the Black Hills.
That encampment was broken up
by troops from Fort Sully and its oc.
cupancy were out of sight on the trail
to the Black Hills before the soldiers
arrived to dispossess them. This is

he has made postmasters out of 23,3l7

cent larger than in any previous year !

SUPPORTS WILSON

The Ohio State Journal, the Oldest
and one OF the ostinfiuential papers
published in Ohio, recently was 1T
tackled by one of it's exchanges be.
cause it had said words commoEda-
tory to President Wilson. 1t makes 1
lengthy reply in the course Of which
it says:
We can assure our anxious friend
that we never praised the president
because he is democrat, but 5e.
cause he is a man. who SCENE, al
most like a friend, so nearly in ac-
cord did his democratic deeds come to
our republican ideals. Indeed this
fact inspired us to say in these col
umns one day, perhaps foolishly,
that most of the presidents work
was in harmony with republican
principles.
"The field Of politics is not q barb
ed wire fence. It is q prairie with
boundless horizons, where integrity.
virtue and honor are arrayed for the
achievement ofthe highest good. There
is where the democrats will have to
stand if they remain in power; that
is the position the republican party
will have to take to regain office. We
are more interested In the republican
party being worthy Of power than Of
merely holding it.
q. Woodrow Wilson has made great
president, because he has not been
essentially democratic president.
His last message was the grandest
state paper written since the days Of
Lincoln and ii was great because its
party faith was changed to patriotic
devotion, in which republican ideals
flowed like q morning sun. II was
the spirit that rose above the letter
that made it great message and
which elected 50 much republican
praise. We couldn't hide behind the.
party fence and not do our shars ofE

THE INITIATIVE
AND REFERENDUM

If any one thinks that the initiative
and referendum comedies too much
power to the voters, he ought to read
the Virginia Bill of Rights drafted by
Mason, and adopted June IL, 1776.
Sections and read:
Section 2. That all power is vest
ed in and consequently derived from
the people; the magistrates are their
trustees and servants, and at all times
amenable to them.
Section 3. That government is, or
ought to be. instituted for the common
benefit, protection and security Of the
people, nation or community, and all
the various forms of government that
IS best. which is capable Of producing
the greatest happiness and safety. and
is most effectually secured against the
danger of maladministration; and when-
ever any government is found inade-
quate or contrary to those purposes, 4
majority of the community hath an in.
Dubitsble, inalienable and indefeasible
right to reform, alter or abolish it in
such manner as shall be judged most
conducive to the public veal. =
The advocates Of the initiative and
referendum insist that a majority Of q
community have rightto alter their.
laws or constitution, but the Virginia
Bill of Rights goes farther and declares
that majority has right to abolish
the government; and to leave nothing
more to be said. the right is not declar-
ed to be "indubitable, inalienable and
indefeasible," However timid some Of
our later day politicians may be about
trusting the people, there was no timid-
ity about the revolutionary patriots.
They believed in the doctrine that the
people are the source of power, and it
is fortunate for posterity that their
faith was so strong and 30 clearly ex-
pressed.

THE COW AND CREAM CHECKS

Hayes Homestead: From the re-

is bringing splendid returns to the

amounting to $50, 100000. The outlook
for the present season, with the in
creased herds, will probably bring the
total of cream checks. cashed by the
several banks in the county up to
$3.50, 900. 90.

POSTMASTER FOR SIOUX FALLS

1t is the belief of the Sioux Falls

HERE AFTER LONG ABSENCE

A rare privilege it is nowadays to
meet a man who did soldier duty in the
forts of South Dakota in the early days,
and it is rare thing indeed to meet the
men who were in this part of the coun-
try in those times. A strong and rug
ged gentleman, aged IA years, was III
Pierre the first of the week, who serv-
ed in the old Fort Sully post when it
was down across from Farm Island,
and before the post was moved up the
river.
That man was Henry Waller, now of
Grand junction, Colorado, who was here
with his wife looking over the old place
and disposing of some business matters.
From 1863 to 1866 Mr.. Waller served in
the local fort. He was with the fourth
U. S. volunteers, having enlisted in
Virginia, and was stationed in Iowa, in
1860, little later being ordered west
on duty, but when, with the sixth Iowa
cavalry they reached st. Louis news
reached headquarters of Indian troubles
in this section the two companies were
ordered here when they remained for
four years, controlling affairs till just
before the fort was moved up river,
when they were relieved by other regu-
lars. Mr.. Waller states that about the
only objects he recognizes is Farm Is
land, where soldiers secured wood dur
ing the winter months.
