One of the interesting events IN
the politics of the Fifth congressional
district was the filing of Mayor
Charles Fleming of Spokane for con-
gress on the democratic ticket. From
the standpoint of a general support
Mr.. Fleming is one of the greatest
assets the democratic party could
have this fall. He has no enemies
and no opposition, for his work for a
number of years has been OF a non
partisan character in the city of Spo-
kane, with the greatest OF success
yet maintaining an open. allegiance
to the democratic party in his private
life.

The republican party is troubled
with a plurality of candidates for
the gubernatorial nomination. So
much so that it is feared the nonpar-
tisans will wade into their primary
and name their own man over any
of the republican aspirants. Leaders
of the party throughout the state
have expressed desire to have an
eliminating convention or something
of the kind, to decide on one candi-
date so that he can be nominated.
Each agrees that this would be fine
thing, provided he could be selected
rs the one standard bearer, but up
to date no one has agreed to forego
the pleasure Of running.

educational data which are grouped

PROPAGANDA

The word ''propoganda" has a con.
notation to great many persons
which makes them look suspicious
1t was used during the war in relation
to the German system of under.
mining a government by spreading
lies throughout the country. And II
worked effectively well.
Propaganda is still at work in the
United States today. 1t is made use
Of by thousands Of indiscriminate in
dividuals. corporations or organiza-
tions for the purpose Of bringing about
public sentiment favorable to their
plans be 1t in business or in politics
The honest upright elements of the
country. which are anxious for its up
lift and endeavoring In many ways to
bring about betterment have the
same chance to use propaganda for
their purposes. But ordinarily they
make little use Of it. This may be be-
cause they do not realize what could
be done by it. Some cherish the feel
ing that It is the best medium In the
world for reaching the ordinary man.
To quote from the words of a man.
who was teamster when the war
broke out in 1914 and who was inspir-
ed by the war to give some thought to
the social unrest in the country, The

sorts Of pamphlets and books on labor

eral Of the unfortunate boy being
held at the Burtch undertaking par
lor at 1880 today. Members Of the
football team acted as pallbearers.
Flowers were offered in abundance.
The football team expressed their ap-
probation of their lost member
through sixteen white roses, the
number of players in the football
squad. The athletic association con-
tributed a broken wheel made of ros-
es and the faculty was represented by
a spray of roses. Miss Montgomery,
as principal of the high school, Mr..
Lowery, Miss Day, Mrs. Kirk and Mr..
Phares, Carl's teachers, visited the
bereaved family in Sioux Falls, Sun
day and ministered to their needs.
The deep regret that existed
among those administering the
school which existed because of the
apparent absence of representatives
of the school at the time of Carl
Espe's death was removed consider
ably Saturday when ii was learned
that Oliver Parker, Frank Burnett.
Rolf Schultz, close friends of Carl.
and Curtiss, Carl's brother, were min
istering to Carl's needs at Flandreau
during his last hours. The admins
tration of the schools had been
thoughtful After the game Mr.
Nickle and Mr.. Lowery considered
what should be done and Mr.. Low
cry volunteered to care for the boys
and notice was sent to the father
through Curtiss who was leaving for
home at that time. Mr.. Lowery did
not leave until 6 p. m. when he was
fully assured by those in charge OF
the hospital that Carl was not In
danger. BY accident to their automo-
bile a short distance out of Flandreau
the boys who were present later In
the evening were compelled to re-
turn. They went Immediately to the
hospital
No one seemed to appreciate any
great danger of fatality until sud-
den change took place about 8 O'Clock
from which time until 1880 when
death releaved suffering. Efforts in
both Madison and F1andreau were
being made to locate and secure the
presence of parents.

PRESIDENT WILSON
ASKS HARDING
IN REGARD TO ALLEGED STATE
MENT MADE IN SPEECH.

Washington, Oct. 18.-President
Wilson today asked Senator Hard
ing, republican presidential nominee.
il he said in his speech at Green
Castle, Indiana. Saturday that he had
been Informally approached by a
spokesman of France who asked that
America lead the way in forming an
association of nations. The presi-
dents inquiry was contained in a
letter given out today. At the white
house II need not point out to you, /"
Wilson wrote, the grave and ex-
traordinary inference to be drawn
from such a statement, namely, that
the government of France which is a
member of the League Of Nations ap-
preached private citizens of nation
which is not a member of the league
with request that the United States
lead the way to a world fraternity"

WILSON ASKS FOR
WHEAT PRICE FACTS
REQUESTS INFORMATION TEND.

Washington, Oct. 18.-President
Wilson has requested Governor Al
len of Kansas to forward to the fed
eral trade commission any informa-
tion he has tending to indicate that
the recent decline in wheat prices
was due to unfair practices or COM
petition or to other artificial causes.
A letter to this effect, sent today
by Secretary Tumulty, was in answer
to many appeals for government ac-
tion looking to an embargo on Cana
dian wheat. These were referred
some time ago to the commission
and the department of agriculture.
Mr.. Tumulty's letter to Governor Al
len said:
1.-THE president has received your
telegram Of Oct. 8 with reference to
the wheat situation and has received

INDIANS MAKE
GOOD PROGRESS
VETERAN JOURNALIST COM
MENTS UPON GREAT ADVANCE
MENT MADE BY RED PEOPLE
in FIFTY YEARS.

Parker, Oct. 18.-Among the num-
erous delegates at the annual meet
ing of the Presbyterian churches of
South Dakota, which this week closed
at Parker, were several Sioux Indians
from west of the Missouri river and
from the region in the northeastern
part of the state, formerly known as
the Sisseton reservation.
These Indian delegates were of in
telligent appearance and were modest
and mild-mannered. To one who
saw the savage and repulsive ances-
tors of these Indians SO years ago,
as was the case with C. F. Hackett, a
veteran newspaper man of South Da-
kota, the appearance Of these dele
gates was a great inspiration. Mr..
Hackett said:
''The christianizing of these In
dians is a wonderful tribute to chris
tianity to the sacrifice of the early
missionaries and to the generosity
Of those who aided this missionary
work with money and prayer.
Forty to so years ago. when Da-
kota wAs young, large proportion of
the Indian population was on the
warpath. Murder and massacre were
frequent. The Indians were savage
as q class. Their hands were against
the whites and the hands of the
whites were against the Indians.
IA few missionaries like Rev. Mr..
Cook and the Elder williamson. and
Elder Riggs, came to Dakota, risked
their lives in planting the gospel
and leading the Indians to christian
ity. The blanket. the tomahawk ana
the warpath were abandoned when
these Indians embraced christianity
Education scattered ignorance and
the nice modern Indian home sue
ceeded the wandering tepees or dirt
