tH TREASURER REFUSES TO ISSUE LICENSE Brookings, S. D. May 15.—A ca«e that may be far reaching in its results has been started by the action of E. L. Vandyke treas urer of Brookings County, who, today refused to take the license money from the would be saloon keepers at Elkton and Volga, and to issue the regular county per mits, without which they can not do business. This will, undoubtedly, result iit an application to the Court for A Writ of Mandamus to com pel Mr. VanDyke to issue the license which application will be opposed by Cheever & Cheever of this city and S. Ramsey of Woon socket, attorneys for the Prohi bition State Committee. They will contend that the license law is unconstitutional. The action of the County Treas urer has thrown the saloon forces into a state of consternation. Quiucy Lee Morrow, Secretary of the Prohibition State Commit tee in an interview said: "We have been planning this move for many months careful students of the law have long believed that all laws that license the liquor tra fic are unconstitutional. The Su preme Court of the United States in a decision declared that no man has any inherent right to engage in the liquor business and that no legislature can barter away the health or morals of the people. Upon these and numer ous other decisions we base our contention and we will carry the fight to the highest courts." ?NO BE|AUTY CONTEff The editor of this Human In teresctt Weekly never could see just what a newspaper man gains ill self respect or in the estimatioi of his fellow citizens by ever H.

We need some store teeth too and a few hairs on the top of our tliinktank, but it never entered our head that a few lit tle personal defects like that would disqualify us for office. We would rather feel like the old lady at experience meeting, who, when she was asked by the minister what she was especially thankful for, promptly arose and said she had two teeth left in her head and was thankful that they hit.

L•, May 14, 91 In reference to the achieve ments of Hon. Chas. L. Millett as a legis lator in the last session of the state legislature I can say that he wa3 one of the very capable members of the House, was faithful to his duties and was the means of having several beneficiary laws placed upon our statute books. A reference to the House Journal will show that seven of the eleven bills introduced by him passed the House. He was faithful at committee work and in voting on bills he was conscien tious and consistent and has a record not to be ashamed of. The members of our dele gation with whom I have conferred consid ered him one of the very efficient legis lators- at the last session of the legis lature and see no reason why he does not deserve promotion and re-election. i i mp I'll i r.l I »v 4 v V ROBT.

QUIOO FOR AUDI-i TOR Our county auditor should be a man of mature judgement and business ability. Tlu* county auditor's office is the most im portant from the standpoint of the taxpayer, of any office in the county. The man pre-eminently fitted for that position by his long experience in public affairs is James A. Quigg, of Philip. If he is elected to that position, the office of the county auditor will be in capable hands.—Midland Mail. Mr. James A. Quigg, of Philip, republican candidate for the nonii nation for county auditor, was in town on Saturday. This is the first time we have had the pleas ure of meeting Mr. (juigg, and if our first impression is as ac curate in this case as such im pressions usually are, then we have no objections at all in cast ing a vote for Mr. Quigg at the primaries or anywhere else. We have not met a man in many moons who has the political and economic situations and condi tions of the commonwealth at his tongue's end so completely as has this same Quigg. Take it from us Quigg is all right and is no man's flunkey in politics. A vote for Quigg is a vote for the right man.—Interior Index. "POPULAR DEMAND" OR MONEY—WHICH? Cost of HoWPflrtt Boom to Oato Ex cooda the Coat of tha Laat National Campaign. Ttao financial packers of Theodora Roosevelt have expended to date near ly fl,000.000 in an endeavor to re nominate the former president tor a third terra. How this money la used and where it cornea from is of lnter eat to all citizens. In Oklahoma the charge has been made that the Roosevelt managers paid $76 a vote to delegates to con ventions. This is the state where Mr. Roosevelt said there was a "genuine primary." The same "crew" has since "worked" Kansas and Nebraska and la now In Arkanaas. aa witness the following telegram: "Roosevelt managers are using money under the guise of paying wages to workers, another name for bribery." In Pennsylvania, instead of stand ing at the polls and handing each Roosevelt voter a bill, "due bills were issued calling for this amount which were collected at headquarters when countersigned by the district leaders. It is estimated that flOO.POV wea expended In this 'manner. Ihl# would "reach" 20,000 voters. In New York county the Roosevelt managers expended a quarter of million dollars. One district leader paid 110,000 out of his own pocket In his own district, on prcfcnlae of reim bursement, besides what* headquarters aent him. In Chicago two men contributed '|7,000 rv uae in one district on pri mary day and 1200 wes offered eight precinct eaptalns to deaert Taft. Where is the money coming from? George W. Perktas, director of the IlitwnatloiVI Harventer company and of the United gtatfts Steel corpora tlon. neither1 of whom Theodore Roosevelt ever' harmed, but on the contrary defended as president and snd^d la tV defends now, la "head of the bar rel."

In Pennnylvanla, In an attempt to divert attention from his socialistic Columbus, Ohio, speech, and from William Fllnn of Pittsburg, his Penn sylvania manager, Theodora Roose velt attacked President Taft and Sen ator Boles Penrose. The fact is that there is not a charaotor In public life today who has the notorious record of "Old Bill" Fllnn. and Roossvelt did not dare mention his name in Pittsburg. Until 1901 Fllnn was the "boss" of Plttsburf. He was run out of power J»y the decent people of that commu nity. In the few years he "bosaed" Pittsburg Fllnn received from vmen he put in public office contracts aggre gating more than 121,000,000, as Is attempted to make a contract with Matthew Stanley Quay, United States senstor, which he wrots out in his own hand, a copy of which (s still in existence. In thia document Fllnn bound himself to deliver to Quay the votes of all Pittsburg and Allegheny count? legislators and con gressmen and all delegates to state and national conventions In return for which Quay was te protect Fllnn In his private and political business in the legislature of the state. The proposition was so rotten that even Quay turned it down. This is the man Theodore Roose velt, former president of the United tatates, haa resurrected into political life under the plea of "Let the Peo jple Rule." I£ST WE F0RGETI That Theodore Roosevelt once said lata letter: "Can we antagonise the Morgan la weitests which haa always been so frUndly to us?" That the International Harvester company and the Utlted States Steel corporation are "Morgan Interests" that they are represented In the Rooeevelt headquarters by Qeorge W. Perkins, the chief oontrlbutor to the Roosevelt campaign fund, and that Theodore Rooeevelt has not men tioned any Morgan Intereat or friend of Morgan In this oampalgn except to defend it or them. That Theodore Roosevelt refused, after he had ordered the suit filed, to permit the prosecution of the Interna tional Harvester company and that he reached this decision after a visit from George W. Perkins. That ft H. Harriman raised ISM,* 000, at Rooaevelt's request, to elect him president la 1904, and that the following contributed: B. H.

BLACK HANDERS CAUGHT The Sully county black hand mystery has at last been solved by the admission of a friend of Lee ('a li an, who was indicted for crime. States Attorney Quimby went to this friend last week and secured a signed state ment stating that Canan told him that he was going to write the letters which were after wards received by Thorpe and Kssclhrugge. He told this to his friend on the 7th of the month and the letters were posted five days later but the friend has kept the matter to himself un til recently. Mr. Quimby says that, with this proof he will be able to recover the money spent by the county from the federal authorities. The Potter county letters have also been traced to two brothers who claim as a de fense that they merely sent the letter to Mortensen in an ef fort to scare him out of the coun try.
