HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922

Don't it seem fine to get into your
boat, lie face up in the sunlight an
drift down the. stream of life without
a care in the world9 You pass hund-
reds of rocks, the eddies switch the
boat from side to side an get you
by safely, maybe with here an there
little scratch but not enough to set
you worryin', An then you get it.
Bump, an over the falls you go. Boy,
what smash! If you have any think
in apparatus left you see where you
tried to beat the game an it didn t
work out. Old Cap Nature says you
have got to take hold of the oars an
row upstream if you want to land
safely. Sometimes you've got to row
mighty hard to make headway but you
might as well tackle the job because
there's no room for argument. Every
river ends on the rocks or in the mud

Fake Promoters Work Farmers

Two fake promoters started work
ing in Kingsbury county two weeks
ago, trying to organize cooperative
creamery among the farmers there for
$4,000, with stock at 800 a share.
The whole thing looked GOOD to a few
and some farmers bit. But upon IN
vestigation the takers could not stand
the test or comply with state regula-
tiOn. 1t was found to be nothing but
blue sky stock and not truly coopera-
tive. Before any cooperative organ
ization gets your cash you should sec
that a representative OF the state col
lece has investigated the deal before
YOU invest. This merely a warning t.

MELLETTE co. ANNUAL FAIR

For the last year or two the mem
bers Of the Rosebud Sioux tribe, liv-
ing IN the ceded portions of the Rose
bud reservation, We're discussing the
probability OF Withdrawing from the
Rosebud Sioux fair, which is held
annually at Rosebud Agency, and con-
sohdate with the Mellette County
Fair Association, at Wood, S. d.
1t is claimed that the Rosebud
Sioux Fair is entirely out of date
and impractical as far as the tribe
is concerned, as the said fair has
caused the members of the tribe who
live in Gregory, Trip and Mellette
counties, much inconvenience to at
tend this annual fair This reserva-
ton fair was an annual fair, financed
by the tribe by contributions and also
a small appropriation from the Indian
Office each year for the premiums on
agricultural exhibits, but it seems that
the practice had lost considerable in
terest and consequently in later years
the contributions by the tribe had fal-
len way below the expenditures and
expenses OF the fair. 1t is also known
to be fact, that the fair took turn
more for wild west celebration and
less attention was paid for the sgri-
cultural side Of the enterprise, winch
has been the cause for the controversy
among the tribe, as the majority Of
the tribe were more in favor of ag-
ricultural exhibits, and not too much
commercializing of the Sioux Indian
in wild west shows. The Indians have
realized that they have been used as
drawing cards in nearly all the wild
west exhibitions put on by every little
town in western South Dakota, and
it is getting rather too tiresome.
There will be meeting of repre-
sentatives from the Black Pipe, Little
White River and Butte Creek dist
riots Of the former Rosebud reserva.
ton, at Wood, South Dakota, in the
near future and the necessary arrange
ments will be made to carry out the
plan, and an effort will also be made
to interest the Indian Office to author
ize the expenditure Of one-half Of the
annual appropriation for the Rose
bud Sioux Fair, to be used this fall by
the Mellette County Fair Association,
in the payment of premiums on In
dian agricultural exhibits.
OF course it will be out of the ques-
ton to have the Sioux compete with
the settlers in all departments Of an
agricultural exhibition, because the
agricultural game is new to the
oborioinals, but some arrangement
will be made to have the exhibits Of
the Sioux separate from the white
mems exhibit, and just allow the va.
rious districts, like the Black Pipe,
Little White River and Butte Creek
compete OH an exclusively Sioux ex-
hibits.
This is a good plan and should have
the support of every body.

THE WRECK OF A PARTY

The leaders of the republican party
are in something of dilemma. The
so-called Grand Old Party is losing it's
homogeneouSness There is disaffec-
ton in the ranks. One reason for this
is that the main principle of the party
the protective tariffs no longer
any good as an issue. The principle
Of high protective tariff always has
been wrong, but under conditions as
they exist now it is absurd and is so
recognized by thoughtful republicans
everywhere. The congress has
wrestled with a tariff bill for many
months, not because anybody connect
ed with it thinks the bill will be a good
thing when finished, but merely to
keep up appearances. Disillusion is
getting in its deadly work Farmers
for many years have watched the de-
cline of prices under the so-called
emergency tariff law with a well-jus-
titled feeling of disgust feeling
that will be translated into action at
the next congressional elections.
Another thing that troubles the
minds OF those who wish to see the
republican party held together and re-
tain its power is the fact that the
present administration is being forced
to adopt democratic principles Presi-
dent Harding is now working heroic
ally to carry out the policies of Wood
row WilSon-the arms conference, the
naval holiday, the league with Bri-
tain, France and Japan-all Wilson
principles, thinly disguised And even
Lodge is in line fighting for the very
thing that he opposed with all his
might for two years.
The following editorial from the
Lakeland Telegram is an excellent
presentation of the sad case in which
the republican party finds itself:
There is a touch of pathos in Mr.
Harding's eulogy Of party government
| in his address to congress, followed
by the war secretary's defense of boss
rule before a meeting of insurance
men two days later 1t is evident that
the present heads of the government
feel that the party is not being stood
by as firmly as they would like.
"The trouble, they will find. lies
largely with the leadership of the
party, or. we might say, parties, since
the republicans have no monopoly OF
party troubles. A political party Is

NTERNsTlONAL MEETS FORD
ON TRACTOR PRICES
(By Glenn Griswold)

Henry Ford may find himself so
busy attending to his own business in
the next few months that he will have
little time to reorganize the currency
system of the country, demonetize
gold or fay the money barons Of Wall
street.
The new prices quoted on tractors
and the temper of Harvester officials
would seem to indicate that the pray
ers of the country that someone give
Mr. Ford some real competition are
about to be answered.
A week ago Mr.. Ford announced a
reduction of $3.50 in the price of
Fordson tractors. cutting the price
from 1925 to 1895. Last night the In
ternational Harvester Company sent
out the following statement:
THE International Harvester Com
pany today announced price reduc-
tions of $3.50 on two-plow tractors and
$500 on three-plow tractors, effective
Immediately.
Until May next, the company
will present to every farmer purchas-
ing one of these tractors a two-furrow
or three-furrow pillow or tractor disc
harrow"
Like the fiivver, the Fordson comes
stripped. None of the competitors OF
the machine charge that it is not well
built, of honest materials. They do
say that. like the iivver. the first cost
should be added to the equipment and
extras necessary to put it into the
field adequately equipped if prices
are to be compared. And they will be
compared in every corner grocery
store in the country from today until
the price war is over-Chicago Jour.
nal OF Commerce, Feb. 4, 1922.

fies under that head.
"The democratic party, however,
does stand, in a general way, for
political philosophy 1t has noble ira
ditionS, and it's name cannotes noble
principles 1t is still the possessor
of a citadel around which it's forces
can rally, if they will But the re-
publican party, as such, stands for no
consistent doctrine. There is no such
thing in this country today as republi-
can thought, or republican sentiment
as distinguished from mere loyalty
to the organization.
by what, then, does Mr.. Weeks and
Mr. Harding want the people, and es-
peciaIly the mass of republican rep
resentatives in congress to "stand?"
Simply the men higher up-the lead
ers. The individual republican is not
required to support Mr.. Harding be-
cause he believes in the same princi-
pies, because he does not know what
principles Mr. Harding believes in;
but because Mr. Harding as president
elected by his party must be trusted
to do what is right.
This is not government at all. 1t is
personal government Of the rankest
kind 1t transfers initiative respon-
sibility from the people, where it be-
longs, to a set of men who ought to
be servants of the people. 1t makes
subjects of citizens, and autocrats of
officers.
THAT is why party loyalty is waring
and party government discredited.
The people as rule cling to the old
notion that they are the masters, and
when a set of men in authority go
against their wishes they either
thwart them at the time or turn them
out at the next election.

forget its plant about decay OF the
party spirit, try to do what the PEG.

make the people gulp down blindly

American people regardless of party.

name of republicanism to save them

OUR DEBT or GRATITUDE TO THE
Amy

1.-The people of the United States
ought to be proud of their army"
said President Cuno H. Rudolph, of
the Board of Commissioners, of the
District of Columbia He added that
many are now living who would un-
doubtedIy have died in the Knicker-
booker Theater at Washington, on
January 2Sth last, in which 95 persons
were killed and $50 injured by the
falling of the snow-covered roof, had
it not been for the prompt and eff
cient assistance given by the regular
troops under Brigadier General H. H.
Bandholtz, United States Army, who
commands the District of Washington
In an official communication en-
bodying this, Mr.. Rudolph thanks the
army for its work in succoring the
injured and bringing out the dead. He
asks that this expression of the graf
itude of the commissioners, on behalf
of the citizens, be made of official rec
ord. In referring to the work of the
army, Mr.. Rudolph said:
Every citizen in the District of Co.
lumbia owes debt of gratitude to the
army for the prompt, workmanlike and
unselfish manner in which it responded
to the call for help during the Knick-
erbocker Theater Disaster debt
which our people can never repay
The army furnished hundreds of will
ing hands and provided the tools with
which they worked to rescue with all
possible speed the scores of dead and
dying victims trapped in the mass of
snow covered wreckage. Just as the
army answered after the Johnstown
flood, the Galveston disaster, the San
Francisco fire, the floods at Dayton
and Pueblo, and in the recent West
Virginia mine disorders, so its men
came to the rescue when Washington
needed help the most 1t has been re-
ported to me that the first acetylene
torch and the gas to work it, the first
jacks, picks and shovels, were all
rushed to the scene of suffering in
quartermaster corps trucks by quar-
termaster men. 1t is abundant proof
that our army has its mission in peace
as we'll as in war, and the nation can
count on it in the future as it has in
the past. I thank God that the regu-
lars were as close at hand when they
were so urgently needed in the ma
TONS capital"
General BandhoItz has supplement-
ed this with a letter to Major General
H. L. Rogers, quartermaster general
concerning the work of the depart
ment OF the army, in which he says:
Every officer of your corps on duty
with this command responded imme-
diately and effectively, and the SER
vices of them all, as well as their per-
sonnet, is deserving of the highest
praise. They all worked untiringly
during the thirty-six hours of relief
work and their promp: assistance was
the direct cause for the saving of
many lives. 1t must be to you a cause
Of much qualification that all of the
members of your corps upheld in such
a fine manner the traditions of the
