Iv •Ii|8*y« the SlOijx FallB Argus-Lead- this paper In other'^ybi ibe Argus-Leader ia« gone over to the democratic I! party. For It J« ioBe between ROOBOVCU and Wilson, It all goes to allow that the Argue $*ader Is anti-republican, as Ilia ro- :publican party in this stfitc has been ttbfiried under direction of law by the Mate convention. «, What 1b more, the Argus-Loarlbr in has gone back to Its advocacy fdorsesdemocratic the' tariff policy. It the democratic proposal to bring back an era of free, trade. It irtmctldtiB the declaration by Gov. Wilson at Williams Grove, Pa., that ,th8 farmers do not need, protection. la not moved by the fact that the day after the reciprocity treaty was defeated in Canada, the price of Wheat Jumped eight cents per bushel the Minneapolis market. The Ar |^fMLeader thus lends Itself to a p*frogram which contemplates the loss |tof 8 cents on every bushel of wheat fpold by the farmers of South Dakota. On ,60,000,000 bushels of wheat, Mch as was produced this year, this jfcanil,,netorlfiqiiig some $4,000,000 pining to the farmers of South Da |ftta/:-(/Onaidering the other products It the farm, it is fair to say that thlB ^ee trade propaganda of the demo rata, as endorsed by the democratic i^uarLeader, would coBt the farmers |bf Bouth Dakota fi^m $6,000,000 to llS.OOO.OOb per year? This is not bas upon any theory, but upon the act ual records of the wheat market be p'tore and after the reciprocity treaty $JKM voted upoji in Canada. -But the Wilson program is far vorie than the reciprocity treaty, for the latter proposed at least to obtain for the people of the United States tome tariff concessions in return, the democratic plan is to open the American market to the world with out even asking for any similar fav ors from other nations During the last democratic admin istration. the average price of wheat Chicago was around 60 cents per bushel. Now, with a tremendous ^|rtieat crop, it is'selling for H2 to 93 "^JSqpte 'at Chicago. J||sjjPlie program of the .Argus-Leader «Ad of the democratic party is to, ojbeapen the cost of "living at the ex. Jtonae of the farmer. It is desired that again sell wheat for 50 cents or 'JM cents per bushel, and other pro ^|wct» In proportion. That is very nice for the other ii»ow what does the South Dakota farmer think about it? ./i THE TARIFF IN THE PLATFORMS There can be no doubt whatever to the position occupied by Wil •on and Roosevelt with reference to the tariff. Both stand upoh platforms that declare in the plainest language .what should be done with the tariff. The Roosevelt platform champions the protective tariff system in the fol Rowing unmistakable language: "We believe in a protective tariff Mhlch shall equalize conditions of -^competition between the United Stat esst and foreign countries, both for farmers and the manufacturers irMcit shall entertain for labor an i.^toquate standard of living." To accomplish this, the platform er advocates a tariff commis —jiili'lBlothed with authority to ascer the necessary facts for the -i vi. of a truly scientific and of tariffs. To this the iiratfr are unalterably opposed, Tbey made clear in congress by defeating the appropriation for the board. They do not want a they want, to ruin nrofpr to tl ftect.s. ,v4o Strictly i| Advance. jmr- —f OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER party ii WIlwii and Roosevelt, for WfUon." "Asbetw IH apparent that thn Taft men in tl. state do not want io give t'lomseljrtiB an opportunity to vote for Taft putting up set of Taft ele^dr^. donscquently they will Vffrat themselves Into a position where 7 jV I i'ifif purpose of the democratic party is net. forth just as clearly as is Koosevelt'H, in the following para graph of the Baltimore platform: "We declare it. to be a fundamental principle of the democratic party that the federal government., under the constitution, lias no right or power to Impose or collect tariff duties, ex cept. for the purpose of revenue, and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessi ties of government., honestly jyid eco nomically administered." In other words, the democratic unalterably opposed to any degree'of protection whatever. That is why it would expose tlio South Da kota farmer to Canadian competition. It doesn't believe lie has any right to such protection. It wants to cheap en bis products, BO that the buyer may reduce the cost of living. It is perfectly frank about its purpose. The democratic party is ready and willing to destroy any industry that, may depend upon a protective tariff for its existence. That there are many such institutions in the United States even the deniocrhtlj party recogniz es,, for another paragraph of the Bal timore platform says: .y "We recognize tliar our system of thriff taxation is intimately connect ed with the business of the country nud we favor the ultimate attainment of the principles wo advocate by leg islation that will not. injure or de stroy legitimate industry." This "recognizes" that the policy ,of the party Is disastrous to the "business of the country," but the party would bring on that disaster gradually. It. would leave standing only those industries that can en- duro without tlio tariff, for these are the only ones the democratic party considers legitimate. Of course the plan of taking away the tariff grad ually is absurd. Any concern that must.' have protection to remain in business will take no chances of con tinuing in the face of certain removal of the tariff. He could not tell wheth er his doors would be closed within a year or three years. The result would be that he would close them himself and turn his force into tho street to join the army of unemploy ed. A RATIONAL 1'1,/VN. It Is set forth in a recent address by William L, Kunsoni of tlio New York bar that there are just three wayB aside from tho almost impos sible one of amending the constitu tion, for bringing the courts into un ion with "the prevailing morality or strong and preponderant opinion" of the people. These are given UB fol lows: 1. By recall of tlio judiciary. 2. By taking away the power of the courts to bold legislation uncon stitutional. :i. By submitting to the deliber ate determination of tho people the (luestiou whether a Htatute which a state court lias declared to bo uncon stitutional shall remain unconstitu tional or shall be good hiw. The last, of these three Is the plan proposed by Col. Roosevelt and it is easily seon to be the'least radical of the three. It has J|lie unqualified approval of Mr. Ransom, who "says 'that 1 Roosevelt Is sound in arguing that a cowllict between the court and the legislature should be submitted to tho people lor linal arbitration. It is an Illusion of the American people that their government is rad ical and tihat they themselves arc rad ical. On tho contrary, iot only are they not radical, but they are un questionably the most conservative to be found in any democracy in the world. '.•'£ Very few realize that this is the only country in the wliojje -wordd where the courts are allowed to wipe laws from the statute books. Not even in quasl-iuouarchies, such as lCngland oi lerntany have the courts ever been permitted to blot out th,e work of the legislative .branch of tiie government. What is more than this, the constitution never author ized to courts to exercise any such power and it was not until for a third of a century afterward that the judiciary attempted to exercise such a function. "f Yet here we are, so ingrained in the belief that the courts must have the power to deny what the people may want in their government, to do. that when it is suggested that these judges should be made in some de gree responsible to the public men will say with the ex-judge who is now president, that such a plan is laying an ax at the root of our gov- other government has such a root. It belongs to the American govern mental tree, and therefore it is just asBumcd that it is sacrilege to sug gest taking it out or trimming it in any manner. It is well now and then to remem ber now and then FOR 'WHOM the government exists. If it is not for tho people whom it governs, then it certainly is not a democracy. If it operates to defeat the deliberate will of the people, then it is well to con sider the question of making changes in the form of government.'' If the people are not to be relied upon, then certainly I heir agents, presumably chosen by them or under their direction, certainly cannot be trusted. '. PUT UP TO ITl'll ULL. It Is incumbent upon the business men of Mitchell to realize what is expected of them by the surrounding territory. At least tills must be done if Mitchell is to maintain the pleas ant relations with the adjacent Held that the city naturally desires. It so happens that the promoters of all county fairs in nearby counties expect Mitchell to patronize these fairs, principally because Mitchell puts on the Corn Palace attraction each year. Sioux Falls this year, for the first time, sent out an automo bile excursion to make county fairs, going as far as Platte and coming back by way of Salem. The Tripp and Salem fair managements bad particularly invited Mitchell to send a bunch of automobiles over to their entertainment, but, though the ef fort was made to work up a crowd for both, it was not successful. Now the promoters of these two fairs are in rather a bad humor to ward Mitchell. It is true that the. at titude assumed is not entirely reas onable. McCook county, for example, exhibits at tho state fair and pat ronizes the state fair, and yet does not expect Huron business men to reciprocate by attending the McCook county fair. And yet there is more reason to expect this from Huron than from Mitchell. For the Huron buBinesB firms are not required to bear any of the expense of the state fair, while the business men of Mit chell must contribute all the money required to put on the Corn Palace. When tho Huron business men are entirely without burden and those at Mitchell carry so heavy a load, it. is not. just fair to Mitchell to expect everything of Mitchell and nothing of Huron. Furthermore, McCook county and every other county in the state has profited by tile advertising given South Dakota by the Corn Palace. The one great, task that had to be performed before South Da kota could reach the agricultural development to which it was entitl ed, was to convince the rest of the country that South Dakota is a corn state. The Corn Palace has done as much as all else to bring this about and McCook county has profited quite as much as Davison county. However, Mitchell always has Bliown a disposition.to do more than its share for the state. The Republir can Is of the opinion that the cily should have been represented both at Tripp and Salem and that it will be next year. This week Mitchell has a last op portunity for this year to do the courteous thing with the nearby county fairs. For the Hanson and Aurora county expositions will both come off this week. By all means Mitchell should send a nice automo bile delegation to both places. Botli givo Mitchell a nice patronage the year around and business men will be making a serious mistake if they, do not show appreciation of it. W. 15. Tipton has been named com mitteeman to work up a crowd for the Aurora county fair and L. iieck- witli for the Hanson county fair.

ABERDEEN GROCERS GET HIGH PRICES Aberdeen, S. Ij.-—A news item in a Watertown paper relative to the prices of fruit and vegetables on the Watertown market lead an Aberdeen newspaper to commit local grocers and compare the.r prices on the same products, with those prevalent at Watertown. The result was aston ishing to Aberdeen housewives and may lead to a crusade for lower prices. With two or three exceptions Aberdeen consumers found their grocers were charging, them from to .10 per cent more then Watetown residents have to pay for the same class of commodities. The prices varied, somewhat, and did not indi cate a combine on the part of grocers, butdie-vcrtheless in nearly every in stance prices were higher. Four grocers were asked for prices and the sCljedulBs were compiled from their ii'ijswers.

MONEY AVAILABLE FOR COUNTY ROAD WORK Pierre. S.

This provision gives to such counties, ten per ceht of file receipts from the for est reserves, for road building in the territory covered. This is in addition to the fund which lias been coining for several years, in which five per cent of tiie receipts are turned over to the counties, to be divided bet ween tlio road and school funds. There is already available in the new fund, and the governors of fice has been notified that it will be forwarded. It. is suggested thai this fund be sued to help along road pro jects already under way. and being work, instead of being scattered about generally/as such a method will bring better results than by at tempting to scatter the fund in small amounts generally over the counties. COMPLAIN OF DELAY AT QUARANTINE LINE Pierre, K. D.—The quarantine line on the Missouri river has for the past year or two been a cause of more or less friction between shippers who desire to send stock across tiie stream and the state veterinary department. There have been numerous delays lately which have been costly to those who have a few head of live stock they want to ship east, and it would appear that the veterinary de partment might well station a rep resentative at this crossing point, instead of allowing delays by getting men in from outside towns after long waits at expense to the shipper while they locate one of Uie state force. At least, that is tiie .way ship pers look at it, and there are very few days when there is not complaint made in regard the manner of hand ling the situation. „, j, ,, I MT. VERNON NEWS T. E.

As He looked lipot. the multitude. He felt a yearning com passion for them: "They were like sheep without a shepherd and HE continued to teach tlieni. But did tbev not have synagogues, and regular reading of the Scriptures' Did they not have Scribes. Pharisees. Priests and I.e vites? How could they be without shepherding? Ah, they had a soul hunger, which the forms, ceremonies and burdens bound HI them could not satisfy. They really wanted the "Bread of Life." which Jesus had —which Jesus .5n reins- a Ancestor.* of the evo* lutionist. a for He iiersonitied the Truth. Why then did the.v not re ceive it? They were bound by super stition. prejudice, the fear of mini, traditions of the ancients, and the op position of the great and learned of their time. Did the.v not frequently inquire. "Have any of the Scribes and Phari sees lielieved on Him?" The common peopu- always refer to the learned. The learned therefore have the greater responsibility. Jesus declared of them. "Ye have taken away the key of knowl edge you will neither enter into the favor of God yourselves, nor will you permit, others to enter ill.—Luke xi, .12. And is not this true today? The learned of the colleges and principal pulpits are telling the people that tile Rible is not the Divine Message which Jesus and the Apostles declared it to be. that Moses and the Prophets did not write the liooks accredited to them and thus indirectly telling that. Jesus and the Apostles were deceived when Jesus said, 'Moses wrote of Me." and the Prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah said thus and so. Tho Sympathy of Jesus. The multitudes In their enthusiasm went a long journey from home with out making proper provisions for food. The disciples urged that the people lie sent home. Jesus suggested. "Give ye them to eat." But. they declared they had nothing wherewith to feed so tuany. and that if even they should go to purchase it would cost much. Finally they found five loaves onrt two fishes. By Jesus' direction they seated the multitudes in companies on the grass, and the loaves and tlshes. under heavenly blessing, were divided again and again, and all ate to their satisfaction and the fragments amounted to twelve baskets, wliil^ those who had partaken were 5.O00. This wonderful miracle not only at tests our Lord's sympathy, but also spoke volumes to the people of the Divine power that was in the Great Teacher but there is still another les son which it teaches us. Like all of Jesus' miracles it was merely another forogleaming. or illustration, of His fu ture glory and of the coming blessings. This miracle speaks to us of the power that our Lord will then have for providing for the the rue, we do not. expect that during the reigti of Christ the world will be miraculously fed. but rather iu I'"" 1'ii'iJi IUI a necessities of whole world.

"I Am the Bread of Life." As the Church now partake of the merit of Christ's sacrifice, and become members of His Body, the one Lonf, II nd thus partake of eternal Life through Him, so in God's due time the Bread from Heaven is to feed the mul titudes of earth. During the thousand years of His reign, the Bread of Life will be freely distributed amongst nil mankind. That Bread of Life is the Truth—particularly the Truth connect ed with (lie great redeeming work of Jesus. He is.to be the Bread of Life to Hie world, because He bought the world with the sacrifice of His life. The Church, however, in this present time, iins another privilege which the world in the future will not share, and that is represented in the Lord's "cup His "cup" to us represents our privi lege of suffering with Him and becom ing His joint-heirs in the Kingdom.
