ton. Like many we'll intended, but
erratic minds. and it must be admitted
that Mellett' 8 intentions are good, he
asserts; and because he asserts, there
is no room for argument, in bis opionion
at least. Mr.. Millett is not willing to
admit that others besides himself may
have rights of opinion as to how to cur
tail and eliminate the sale of liquor.
There are two sides to every question.
In politics there is a wide divergence
of opinion as to which party stands for
right. Because Mr.. Millett differs with
a man in politics, would he be con-
t%emptable enough to resort to abuse?
In such a case he would be willing to
argue the question on its merits and his
mind be open to conviction. But when
it comes to an opinion as to the be t
method of controlling the sale of liquor,
it appears to him and men of his iik,
that there is no argument. He gives
no mar the right to differ with him.
If a person does presume to differ, why
then he is 'slending his name for the
benefit of the liquor interests, both out
side as we'll as inside the state of South
Dakota" Such a man is given to
strong drink or rents property for ga.
loon purposes or is a saloon keeper, or
is q profigate, OF has been in the
wholesale liquor business" Then he
refers to them Evolves in Sleeps
Clothing" Those are quotations from
Mr.. Miltett's open letter. He is not
willing to admit that many good. moral,
earnest citizens look upon the question
Of the sale of liquor as he perhaps does,
bat differ with him as to the best Wa Y
of controlling and ultimately doing
away with it. He seems To forget or
else must plead gross ignorance that so
called prohibition does not prevent the
illegal sale of liquor in any so.called

HELPFUL PENSION LAW

In sending the National Guard down
on the Mexican border there was GER
tain to be dependents who would suffer
by the enforced absence of the father
or son, as the case might be-. In order
to meet such contingencies Senator
Johnson, of our own state. introduced
q bill providing specifically for such
cases and setting aside two million dol
lars for that purpose, to be expended
under the direct supervision of the Sec
rotary of War, and that it should also
apply with equal force to families of
enlisted men in the regular army.
