I1inderins The Administration In It,
South
The telegraphed news that fed
eral warrant has been issued for ex-
Senator Richard F. Pettigrew OF
South Dakota on a charge Of at
tempting to obstruct the draft carries
newspaper readers back to the days
of the Spanish American war. It is
no new role for the one time senator,
that OF hindering the administration
in its conduct of q war.
Pettigrew violently attacked Presl-
dent Mckinley and belittled the army
in 1899. He glorified Aguinaldo on
the floor of the senate, holding him
up to the nation as q patriot in a
land struggling for freedom as Am
erica had Struggled for its tndepend-
ence in 1776. The other day he was
quoted as saying:
l am firm in my belief that the
United States has no right in this
war, and that it was forced upon
us by a man who has been Q
school teacher all his life and
who is used to having his way
about things. The connict IN
Europe is the result of an old
there and my country has no
right mixing in 1t
Elected as a regular Republican
and returned as such, Pettigrew made
a political mistake in his sensational
career. He waged a personal war on
Mark Hanna, who as the party's ma
tional chairman had obtained the
victory of Mckinley at the polls.
Hanna never forgave him and car
ried his retaliation into South Dako-
Ia. with the result that PettigreW
was retired to private life.
A "Good Fellow" In Early Days.
There was one period. and long
one, when Pettigrew was IN nlgh
favor. however. A Vermont Yankee
by birth, he had gone to Wisconsin
with his parents when boy ana
there made his own way through
Beloit college, following with a law
course at the state university. he
paid his expenses by working as
land surveyor in vacation time. Aft
err obtaining his law degree, he went
to South Dakota in 1863 with q fed
eral surveying party, which ran the
lines of the town of Sioux Falls, ana,
being Impressed with the outlook, he
located there, practicing law, work
ing as a surveyor and dealing in real
estate. Only a few years later saw
him the builder of the street car sys-
tenn, owner of wooden mills, organizer
of a stock yards company and pro-
moter of railroads through the coun-
try. When he entered congress as
delegate from Dakota territory he
was said to be worth $4,OO0,oOO, and
he was known best Of all as a good
fellow"

and went at work and filled their
own cards with few questions being
asked of any of the attorneys. For
others, is was necessary for the at
