The World's Work contends that Garnegie and his associates grew rich not from iron and steel, but from the life blood of humanity, accusing them of profiting off human misery.
A University of Minnesota chemist has perfected a method and secured patents for a scientific advance that converts a pine log valued at 7.50 into by products worth 81. If the development continues, substantial wealth seems imminent.
R O Richards backs a bill later law claims it is a poor awake shift while the Sioux Falls Press derides the state as having the best primary flaw. The Angus Leader notes Mr Crawford becomes tail of a committee led by Mr Kittredge and quips that the tail, not the head, can prove useful in brushing off flies as the committee chair handles the work.
The editors express strong support for the referendum and agree that the people should decide. They argue that trusting the public with such questions sustains free government and that restricting choice would harm democracy.
In appointing Judge McCoy to the supreme bench the governor has made an excellent appointment. The same may be said of the appointment of E. G. Smith, both are jurists of well known integrity and unquestioned ability. Neither of the men have been identified Politically with either faction in the party, although we believe both men were supporters of Mr. Kittredge. The governor deserves credit for excellent puyment in these appointments.
The passage mocks insurgent supporters who once opposed the Panama Canal while criticizing Mr. Kittredge and Mr. Crawford. It notes how Crawford's stance as a committee member altered public interest from South Dakota in the canal to a sudden alarm over the project, highlighting party spin and hypocrisy.
The reform administration pushes higher land valuations to cover past expenses. Beadle County records show fawn lands raised by about 1.70 per acre, increasing the assessment by 1,430,380 dollars. Hendle County holds 35 civil townships with roughly 841,400 acres affected. Great is reform.
The Argus Leader backs a hides tariff while the Huronite argues cheaper shoes for South Dakota's 500000 residents would be better than a hides tariff that benefits the beef trust. It recalls James G Blaine's 1890 opposition and notes the 1907 Dingley bill.
A letter discusses rising costs from hides and boots, citing Tarbell figures and a $30 million yearly impact in the U.S. It urges efficiency, veto use, and budgeting to keep state expenditures within revenues, arguing to defer public building and extra offices until finances justify them.
The Argus Leader notes that the Sioux Falls Press is owned by ten office holders who invest $10,000 and control editorial direction through Bowen’s sale. It argues dispatches and praise in the paper are written by those officials or their aides, challenging any claim of journalistic independence.
South Dakota freight ranking shows Huron connected to more tributary territory than any other city. Outgoing and incoming shipping rates match Aberdeen Sioux Falls Water town and Mitchell, yet Huron’s central position gives an edge on re shipments. Despite this, Huron’s wholesale volume remains small compared with Aberdeen Watertown and Sioux Falls combined. If Aberdeen handles 5 million and Watertown 2 million and Sioux Falls 7 million, Huron could reach about half of that union’s total.
The piece argues Mitchell should act to expand trade for Huron within its natural territory and rival towns. It opposes Mr. Martin’s stance on a tariff on hides, claiming it favors the beef trust and harms consumers who wear shoes, urging a vote for those affected by leather prices.
The Huronite argues a 4.1 tariff on hides would aid cattle growers and oppose the beef trust. Congress member Martin supports the tax to help South Dakota growers, while Crawford’s paper resists insurgent independence. The Argus-Leader notes editors vary but supports Martin’s view and free lumber trade as a political consideration.
The Sioux Falls Press prints a party loyalty oath for Republican primary voters and accuses the paper of trying to exclude old Republican supporters. It predicts those challenged will turn out in force next election to bury insurgents, calling the paper a traitor for its stance. The piece argues the paper abandoned the party when Bryan carried South Dakota and would do so again.
A reflection on political strategy notes the difficulty for a man to align with both national and state platforms. It recalls the Republican convention’s rejection of certain isms and suggests the press may face embarrassment explaining how one can subscribe to the national platform while avoiding the state platform.
The Canton News argues that state finances are strained after two years of rising debt and $800,000 in warrants bearing over $30,000 in annual interest. It urges immediate, intelligent steps to raise sufficient revenue to cover essential bills with the state’s substantial resources.
A Sioux Falls Press critique questions the Huronite for editorials on hides tariffs and the beef trust. It argues the paper shifts could influence Rep. Martin, notes the print’s politics, and hints at future support or opposition in the next campaign.
