A BEGGAR FOR PRESIDENT

The Huronite has received this in
formation in a private letter:
Beginning December 1st, we will
have ready for distribution without
cost to you, material featuring (giv-
ing name) one of the republican
presidential possibilities.
Without cost to you" is good. 1t
means that the mere composition is
to cost nothing. Nothing is said
about compensation for the space oc-
cupied purely in the political interest
of man who wants to be president
of the United States This is expect
ed to be given by the newspaper
which has nothing but space to sell.
Political beggars are the limit.
They go upon the theory that news
papers exist for the purpose of pro-
noting their ambitions. 1t makes
not a particle of difference to the
newspaper whether the party solicit
ing free advertising becomes presi-
dent of the United States or remains
in his present position. Huron Hur-

SUM OF CASH IN BANKS

That the deposits in the banks Of
South Dakota will total over hum
dred million for the November call,
when the submarines are completed, !,
is practically certain from the show
ings made by local banks. Local
reports all show material increase in
the deposits from the last call when
the showing was very near the nine
figure mark, and this increase is prac
tically certain to carry the figures
across the line. The immense crop
this fall, along with the growth of
dairying and the receipts from that
source, backed by heavier shipments
of cattle, and horse sales. has
brought the returns to South Dakota
farmers in the past few months to a
higher point than ever shown before.

ANARCHISTS AT WORK

found to be on fire Tuesday and 1t

this fire was the consummation Of q
portion Of the plot TO destroy prop
erty in the United States to prevent
the delivery of war munitions to the
allies in Europe. ss's
The Union Pacific railroad trans-
ports large shipments of such ma
terial to the Pacific ocean.
AT many places the country over

stroyed by incendiaries and trans-
portation has been interferred with
by the same unlawful indulgencies.
There is pro- German organization
at work with destructive purposes.

bring the guilty parties to justice

cess that there is reason to hope that
the full penalty Of the law may soon
be visited upon them.

NEUTRAL1z1NG PHILIPPINES

Sioux City News: Colonel Bryan
says we ought to give the Philippine
islands their independence, neutralize
them, and thus shorten our frontier.
Fine business! Not more than S per
cent Of the American people would say
you nay. The mass of US would be
tickled to death if our government gave
the Filipinos their divine right to go
housekeeping for themselves. It makes
no hit with the most of US to rule con-
quered people. Let them be free and
good luck to 'em!
But we don't know about the neutral
lzing thing, colonel. You might get all
the nations of the earth to agree to it
all right. But what would you do
tell Us, colonel-if Japan grabbed off
the islands some fine morning on the
ground of military necessity?''

IDAHo's RIGHT TO WORK LAW

The first state in the Union to es-
tablish fright to work" law is
Idaho, but it is believed many other
states will follow the example in the
course of time and that something
will thus be done to mitigate poverty.
1t is to be hoped it will eventually
extend to the national government.
The Idaho fright to work" law pro-
vides that any citizen who has lived
in Idaho for six months and in his
county for ninety days may demand
work on the highways. He must
first show that he cannot get other
employment and that he has less than
1000 in property. Not more than
sixty days. work may be had in one
year. The act is intended to mitigate
the evil of unemployment. 1t is 8

that the United States is gong to be

THEY HAVE SOME MONEY

The newly opened prairie section In
the northwest part of South Dakota
has not had, according to general
reports, very prosperous times for
several years past. 1t has been
dried out" and "depopulated. But
there is an evidence at hand that there
must be considerable number Of
people who have weathered the poor
seasons and have made money in
spite of them.
In the Gazette, published at Camp
Crook, Harding county, appears the
statement required by law of the Lit
tie Missouri Bank. And and inter-
esting item in that statement is that
its deposits amount to 1907, ,545. That
is more than the deposits in four
tifths of the banks of this state. And
1T is an evidence that some one knows
how to make money on the prairies,
despite the drought and distance from
railroads. Presumably, these de-
posits belong to men who were wise
enough to place their main depend
ence in stock, rather than in raising
grain. That is lesson which many
settlers on newly opened prairie Sec
ton fail to learn from observation.
and have hard times In learning it
from their own experience.
1t is we'll to farm land to some ex-
tent. But they should consist OF feed
and forage which can be cut before
normal maturity. Attempting to
raise grain for marketing is not wise.
That some have learned how to
make money on the prairies under
most unfavorable conditions is evil
denced by the statement of this bank
located on the frontier. Deadwood

The Krupp works, the world
biggest gun makers, has earned a
surplus of $4,000, 900 which it will
give to charity. This is blood money
