CHALLENGE for a Debate

G. w. Minges, chairman of the
Minnehaha county prohibition COM
mittee, is out in a challenge to r.
N. Holsaple to debate the benefit
of PARTISAN or non-partisian pro-
hibition. One Of the peculiar
things about the third party fel-
lows is that they are always anxi-
Gus to debate and wrangle with
those who disagree with them on
the minor aspects of the temper
ance question. Mr.. Minges should
get up his debate with a champion
Of the saloons. The anti-saloor
league has a big job on its hands
in ridding the country of the
saloon-it has been doing its work
pretty thoroughly all over the land
and has something to show for it.
The third party fellows could be in
better business than poking slaves
in the wheels of progress just be-
cause the wagon is painted little
different color from what they think
it shouldbe. Theories are always
fine, but men are looking for re-
suits nowadays.

The next number on the lecture
course will be the lecture of DR.. L.
G. Herbert, which will be given at
the Comet next Monday night, Jan.
81. DR.. Herbert is one of the
greatest lecturers on the American
platform, and the message he will
bring will be inspiring and interest
ing. Don't fail to hear him. The
press notices of his lectures shows
that he is enthusiastically received
wherever he speaks. The following
is from the Charleston, Qll. .)Daily
Courier: "Dr. Herberts lectures
are there and now utterances.
They are masterful, and receive
hearty applause. He breaches the
Law of Service, the Gospel Of
Doing it Now. The interest grows,
and increasing audiences are de-
lighted at the strength of the
speaker. These addresses should
be heard by every community.
They strike a keynote for the
church. They are strong in their
appeal and DR.. Herbert is one of
the brainest Of men and with big
heart at that.

the water question, and it is pos
sible that the Milbank Light and
Power Company may make arrange

drinking purposes. The company
is looking into the matter and will
probably present proposition to

plished, it will be fine solution OF
a problem that has long been a
source Of trouble to the city

friend | was handed a package Of
+. Q. Richards campaign litera-
ture, which is being distributed
over the state, in which he says:
The primary law enacted at
the last session of the Legislature
is a monument to anarchy"
thereby indirectly charging the
members who voted for the law
with being anarchists. Again,
that There are two ways by
which you can rebuke those law.

the primary law in an amended
form, which you do at the vt
general election by voting " !;

date"
Now, | have lived in til; com
munity for nearly 38 years, and
so far as | know have not been
regarded as an anarchist, neither
do | believe that | have been re-
garded as 'lawless servant" of
the people. | believed, and
still believe, that; 1st, | did
what the people Of my constitu-
ency wanted me to do. I'd, [
oheyed one of the declarations
CT the republican platform which
declared for the repeal at the
earliest possible moment of the
Richards primary law, which
platform was endorsed by the
electors of this state at the last
primary and general election. 3D.,
| did what believed | had a le-
gal right to do under such cir
cumstances, which act and be-
lief have been substantiated by
the circuit court of Mr.. Rich.
ards own circuit and the su.
preme court of South Dakota,
and by the supreme court Of Or.
egon in a similar case.
If this is anarchy or lawless-
ness, any person can be called
anarchist or lawless if he does
not think just as some other in
dividual thinks. The second
proposition of Richards is: To
defeat for Office any candidate
who voted for the primary law
at the last session, which amounts
to challenge or notice to keep
out. By staying out, under these
charges, would not one admit
that he was an anarchist and
lawless servant? By becoming
a candidate, ones constituents
would decide the question, in
stead of leaving it to one would
be sclf-appointed dictator OF
what is right and what is wrong.
Which method would you take!
For me, l will not admit that l
am an anarchist" and "lawless
servant, and unless change
my mind l will be obliged to
choose the latter.
