But You See It Isn't
Sioux City Tribune: If the Aber
deen News is capable of discussing any
question at issue with truth and fair
ness, it is about time for a start to be
made along that line.
Two Butters to Make Butter
l'latte Epitome: William Ma lone,
of Carroll township, returned Satur
day evening from a week's visit to
Iowa, lie brought with liim a pair of
pure blooded Angora goats. These
are Intended to do duty upon a small
treadpower and assist in the separa
tion of cream, the churning of butter
and in doing the family washing.
When the Truth Leaks Out
It is an old saying. "When thieves
fal 1 out honest men get their dues."
A capital location scrap makes some
people kin, but something is all the
time turning up to "bust"' their ar
guments into flinders. Here is a
sample fix in the Bonesteel News.
People are saying that if the
other government land which is
now open to settlement had been
opened by the lottery plan it
would all be taken with a rush be
cause of a spirit of getting some
thing for nothing inherent in hu
manity. This is a very apparent
fallacy. The lottery plan would
never have been used on the Rose
bud had there not been a value in
the lands in themselves sutlicient
to bring a rush. It is true people
took long chances and many paid
dearly for it, but it was all In the
hope of winning a good farm and
because people knew there were
good farms to win. Convince peo
ple that other government land is
worth as much as land in Gregory
county and the rush for it will be
just as great whether a lottery
plan is used or not.
Iowa in Hard Luck
White Lake Wave: Hilly Wood
ward left yesterday for Des Moines.
The Wave editor spent between two
and three weeks down there, return
ing last Friday. We have been there
on an average once a year for the past
twenty. From the standpoint of
prosperity it look's worse now man we
ever saw it before. You know the
principal products of southern Iowa
are corn and hogs. Well, the farmers
haven't on the average a bushel of
corn apiece and the new crop is at
least six weeks behind the normal.
When we left there wasn't to exceed 5
per cent of the corn in tassel, and it
should have been in the roasting ear
stage. This means no corn unless
frost holds oil" six weeks later than
usual. Ilogs have been running on
grass all summer and have hair as
long as goats, and their sides look
like wasiiboards. Oats is not more
than one-third of a crop. ITay is of
gootl quality, but a little short
Apples and grapes, well theres no end
to them. Thev told us that as a rule
tarmers haven't made a dollar for the
past three years.
Sensibly Said
Arlington Sun: The writer was
asked the other day why he did not
pay more attention to national and
general matters in his editorial col
umns, and It was intimated that these
are of more moment than ail'airs of
merely local interest. Well, the reas
on is this: We might froth at the
mouth about the way the Czar is
treating the Finns or the Jews for a
year, and it is not at all likely that
the Czar would do anything about it.
We might keep on suggesting a for
eign policy lor President Roosevelt for
six months, and the president would
not pay any particular attention to
it, more than possible inviting the
writer to dinner now and then, and
no good would be accomplished by the
effort. But if we use our columns to
suggest that the mud hole near the
Ilewett place be lilled up, or that Ole
Obe be required to keep his cows off
the street, or urge the formation of a
citizen's Improyement League, possi
bly somebody may in time be
waked up, and we may see some visi
ble results from our efforts. It is all
right to aim liigh, but a man who
aims at the moon is not so apt to get
any game as one who aims at some
thing lower down. We intend to
gauge our aim by the calibre of the
gun, and we do not esteem ourself as
capable of handling either the empire
of the Czar, or the whole United
States government. But we are one
of the citizens of this city, and as
such, believe it within our province to.

prove not wholly unworthy of consid

THE ONLY STRICTLY MORAL NEWSPAPER IN SOUTH DAKOTA
KIMBALL, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2,1904
Drink and Business
St. Paul Daily News: George Plunk
itt, state senator and a leader in Tam
many, has never had the advantage of
college education or social culture he
was raised in the streets of New York
city and got his learning mostly knock
ed and kicked into him. Ilis was the
seyere but effective schooling of ex
perience among rough men. His po
litical power is due to the fact that he.
understands and holds in line an en
ormous following among what is com
monly known as the saloon element.
If any man Hying might reasonably
be supposed to make liquor drinking a
real aid to his success, here is the
man. Politicians in general are sup
posed to be drinking men and here is
one in particular who might be ex
pected to drink his way into the
hearts of his constituents and to have
as lieutcnents only men who can do
the same.
But here is what Phirikitt says
about it:
UI
neyer take a drop of intoxicatin'
liquor of any kind. 1 ain't no fanatic.
Some of the saloon keepers are my
best friends' and I dont mind goin'
into a saloon any day with my friends.
But as a matter of business I leave
whiskey and beer and the rest of that
stuff alone. It's a matter of business
too. I take for my lieutenants in my
district men who don't drink. 1 tried
the other kind for several years,but it
didn't pay. They cost too much.
•'No matter how well you learn to
play the political game, you won't
make a lastin' success of it if you are
drinking man."
A lot of mistaken people imagine
that a political leader who doesn't
dring could net-er be popular with a
saloonkeeper.
Well, that's a grave error.
The most successful saloonkeepers
in St. Paul don't drink themselves,
and more than that, wont employ bar
keepers who drink.
Looks queer—doesn't it? But it's a
ict. It's business.
The man who drinks is just as un
safe and unfit a man behind the bar
as he is anywhere else "And nobody
knows this bettor thun the saloon
keeper, who sees more of the effects of
drink than anybody else. ITc is the
last man in the world to follow or
have faith in a hard drinker, lielund
Ills bar or in front of it.
More wisdom from Plunkitt:
"Just take as examples 'Big Tim' and
'Little Tim' Suiliyan. They're known
all over the country as the Bowery
leaders, and as there's nothin' but sa
loons on the Bowery, people might
think they were hard drinkers. The
fact is neither of them has ever touch
ed a drop or ever smoked a cigar. Still
they don't make no pretense of bein'
better than anyone else and don't go
round deliverin' temperance lectures.
'Big Tim' made money out of liquor—
sellin' it to other people. That's the
only way to get good out of liquor."
All wrong—utterly wrong—is the
popular notion that the man who suc
ceeds in the saloon field politics must
get drunk with the men he inlluences.
lie must first control himself. To be
superior he must be sober. To com
mand real respect and lasting confi
dence he must always be himself.
None but callow youth or a drink-de
mentcd fool, has, on the morning
after, much respect for his drunk
mate or for himself. In the lowest of
us theie is conscience that comes with
the morning after, or, if not con
science, at best physical reaction and
mental repulsion.
Again listen to Plunkitt:
"Look at the Tammany heads of
city departments. There's not a real
drinkin' man in the lot, although
there's a saloonkeeper or two. Oh,
yes, there are some prominent men in
the organization who drink hard
Sometimes, but they aint the men who
have power. They're ornaments,
fancy speakers and all that, who make
a fine show behind the footlights, but
ain't in it when it comes to directin'
the city government and the Tam
many organization. The men who
set in the executive committee room
at Tammany hall and direct things
arc the men who celebrate on apol
linaris or yichy."
Is there anything the matter with
temperance as a purely business propo
sition?
Suicide Prevented
The startling announcement that a
preventive of suicide had been discov
ered will interest many. A run down
system, or despondency invariably pre
cedes suicide and something has been
found that will prevent that condi
tion which makes suicide likely. At
the first thought ol self destruction
take Electric Hitters. It being a great
tonic and nervine will strengthen the
nerves and build up the system. It's
also a great stomach, liver and regu
lator. Only 50c satisfaction guaran
teed by F. E. Miller druggist.
