REPUBLICAN THEORY

A protective tariff is the chief tenet
IN the theory of civil government as
advocated by the republican party.
Its solution for economic problems
lies in it's belief in the power to tax.
and tax to the utmost. What ia its
so-called political principle on this
subject? 1t is that certain classes az
citizens engaged in business may be
the recipients of special legislation
that gives them advantage, and no {
only enables them to destroy all com
petition, but compels every citizen
where that competition is DESTROYED
to purchase in market wholly con-
trolled by the special favorites Of
legislation. AS the Apostle Paul
once said, 'sIt is known of all men,.
that during the fourteen years the re-
publican party remained In power its
financial support came from these
favorite classes. Ne republican de-
MES that immense combinations in
restraint of trade grew and prosper

like that of the Steel Corporation, un-
der Gary, or the house of Morga n.
that controlled the money and credit
OF the people of the republic. And
these combinations extended to coal.

railroads. The chief purpose in every
line of industry was to completely

ABERDEEN GIVES UP FIGHT
Decides Not to Campaign for Refer
red Law No. 3, Which Gives a
Two-Year College Course to
Aberdeen Normal

Press dispatches sent out from Alb
erdeen state that no fight will be
made to carry, at the November Elec-
tion, Referred Law No. 3 Relating
to Education' which gave to the A b.
erdeen Normal two-year college
course. The Aberdeen Commercial
Club by expert lobbying succeeded in
passing this through the 1913 Legis-
lature. Largely through the intiu-
ence of the Board of Regents the law
was referred to vote of the people.
1t is stated that the other Normal
Schools and the Agriculture College
at Brookings have as much claim for
these courses as the Aberdeen School;
that to grant it will result in dupli-
cation of work in the various schools,
and great increase in the burden of
taxation to support the numerous in
stitutioDs in South Dakota. 1t would
seem from the news dispatch men
toned that Aberdeen had abandoned
the attempt to carry this measure be-
fore the people.

FIGHTING THE DRUG EVIL

Rochester, N. Y. Oct. 2O.-Social
settlement workers are accomplishing
great amount of good in the cities
of this state. according to reports re-
ceived at headquarters in this city
For some time past efforts have bee n
directed to the work of helping vic
tins of drugs, and those who are de-
voting their time to this task are un-
animous in their opinion that the
real work of reform lies in fighting
the drug evil One report from AL
bany says that since the new state
law prohibiting the sale of heroin,
cocaine, morphine and other habit
forming drugs, went into effect, the
real evil has been exposed, for the
victims, unable to purchase drugs,
are driven to desperation. Many in
stances are given of the rescue of
tins who were about to commit sui
eide. The report adds that if Prohi-
btionists would turn their attention
to the drug evil they would find there
real cause of misery. "Intemper-
ance, the report says, "affects only
a comparativels small number of
drinkers, but the drug habit takes in
stant hold of its victim, keeps him a
slave to the evil, and wrecks his
mind, body and soul"

ED. S. JOHNSON is THE MAN

The Sioux Falls Posten, newspaper
printed in the Norwegian language and
one OF the outmost progressive repu BIZ
can papers of the state says in it's issue
of Sept. 24th: "South Dakota is /
progressive state and we cannot see
why the progressive republicans should
help to send standpatter like Burke
to the Senate. Burke cannot be elect
ed Senator if thousands of the progress
sive republicans do not vote for HIM.
Will they do it? If they vote for
Burke then they cannot longer claim to
bo progressive republicans, but thew
can SAFELY vote for e. S. johnson
for Senator, as he is a progressive
Democrat. There is little difference
between Progressive Democrat and a
Progressive Republican; it is only the
name Therefore the Progressive Re-
publicans should vote against Burke
and for Johnson.

Mr.. johnson is a representative of
the best citizenship in his state. He
has been a pioneer in South Dakota,
and in large and active business ex-
tending over thirty years, has prov
ed himself capable, and made hosts
of friends. He has been helpful to
very many, and generous to all.
Among his friends and associates, he
has always been rated real man.
Those who know him best like him
best, and are his most ardent cham
pions now.
The great majority of citizens of
South Dakota believes that President
Wilson has been a conscientious rep.
resentative of the peoples interests
at Washington. That he has strug-
gled for peace when the tide was rum
ing high for war, and when he might
have made use of the popularity of a
successful war for his party. 1t is
just as fairly believed by people un-
biased by their desire for political
preferment that, as president, Mr..
Wilson has stood for their interests
in al that he has done.
Ii Mr. johnson shall be elected,
the safe progressive policies, the wise
endeavors, the conscience in admins
tration that has distinguished the
Wilson term in wonderful record of
statesmanlike accomplishments, will
be strengthened. The way will be
made easier for good men and good
policies in the future.
Johnson should be elected as a
member of the United States senate
from South Dakota.

WELCOME, MIR. BURKE

Congressman Burke, who made a
display few weeks ago, of his de-
clared intention to stay on the Job at
Washington, and not campaign in the
state until congress adjourned, has
changed his mind, just as he did
when he said he was going to retire
from politics on account of his health.

gress is still in session, Mr.. Burke is
in the state, and will begin a speak
ing campaign the first of the week
This is an open confession that things
are in desperate way with his fen.
ces.
When Charles Burke takes the
stump, it is a sure sign that all the
timeworn tricks of standpat politics
have failed, and the rising tide of
public opinion has driven him to
grasp at last straws. During the
primary campaign this spring he con-
tented himself with gumshoeing about
to several of the larger centers of the
state and meeting those particular
gentlemen who pull the political
strings, but his present actions con-
clusively show that he regards his
present situation as of much more
gravity. Those who are opposed to
the Burke reactionary brand Of poll
cies will be pleased to hear face to
face any possible defense he may
have to offer to justify the record he
has made with the full assurance that
the cause of progressivism is not GO
ing to suffer down in Washington in
his absence, but, on the contrary, be
prospered thereby. The voters will
welcome MI. Burke, and listen with
open ears and receptive minds for
any valid reasons why his temporary
soJourn among them shall not be
made permanent.

The state of South Dakota has this

dent Wilson. The republicans, by

tion of standpatter.

about one-fifth of the total vote of
the state was cast. Assuming that

for the senate in South Dakota, the

democrat, and Charles III. Burke,
standpat republican. The Roos evelt
