did not know whether the beard
passed the"Ronell"resolution Or not,
but he told us they did and had
ordered it drawn, which we ex-
planned last week. Whether MIR.
Rnnell wanted to be distributing
agent or not, whether he knew of it
or not, or whether Ronell, Sheehan,
Compton, Kirk,or II of the Millers
was assigned that duty,
cuts no figure, for we all understand
what the results would have been
whether previously concocted or
not-and the results are what we
are interested in, Mr.Leader. Since
Mr.. Miller got sSO0last year as well
as this&to show where the Leaders
logic will take US, we copy its reas-
oning in regard to Ringsrud's writ
in the last resolution, only chang
ing names as follows:
TN conclusion" the Leader "ad-
mits that" Brit Wallace wrote the
resolution appointing" RoneIl "as
purchasing agent, bn. says it was
done by request of" Roman and
Daily. ut is very strange that Ron
an and Daily would call on" Wal
lace "to write their resolutions when
the county pays the states attorney
$500 Il year to perform that kind Of
legal work. The board hunting up"
Wallace "to write the resolution is
on par with the story OF "Thomp-
sons coltswimning the river to geta
drink" In fact the whole transact
ion of" Roman and Daily "smelIs
''mousey," and that" Wallace "dic-
tates to the board relative to the
management of county affairs"

ers as A. Boycott Wardall of insur-
ance fame.
Brookiugs Individual: You are
wrong Brother Hopkins. The Indi-
vilual is not making vigorous war
upon the ALLIANCE store co-optra-
tive scheme" for the very good rea-
son that there is no such an''alliance
scheme" that we know Of. George
Crosse, j. r. Lowe, and Il few others
have gotten up syndicate store
company which they have given a
high sounding title and are trying
to work the county alliances into
supporting, the scheme has re-
ceived nc recognition from tue state
alliance and we don't know OF a
county alliance that has endorsed
the company. The thing which we
object to is q few mcn running a
private business under the assumed
endorsement ofthe alliance. The
alliance is an organization Of farm
ers united for their common good.
One Of the aims of the alliance Is TO
down monopoly-not to build il mp.
We can't see the difference in mon
opoly. We think just as much of
a monopoly run by Phil Armour or
Rookie Teller as wedoofouc controlled
by George G.. Crosc,J. Il, Lowe A. b.
Wardall or anybody else. AS a bus
iEess institution we have no obiec-
ton TO the cooperative store COM
pany. 1t has just as good a right
to exist as any other monopoly.
As to claiming to be an alliance in
stitution we do most strenuousiy
object to it. The alliance is too big a
thing and has too much brains and to
much work to accomplish to lie the
tool to work out every little scheme
that's private person happens to
get into his head. !tmay jus, as
well be understood that the Indivia-
ual is an alliance paper and thor
ouglly believes in the principles en-.
dorsed by the alliance, aud will
work for the advancement OF such a
scheme as the state or county ALI
ance endorse MS long as it. can con-
scientiously do SO. hen it can
motif will withdraw from the order,
but it would like to see a
few of the camp followers who have
been living off the alliance for the
past dozen ofyears, find some other
available means of support. The
alliance is fun of men Of the highest
character, and otthe highest intellect
even if they do differ with Tin
SIOUX FALLS PIEss on a few qnes
lions Of finance; and we would lik,
to see some Of them supplant u few
ofthe cl,ronics wlio assume TO ow,
! the entire alliance membership.
