Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1897-12-03
STATE PRESS COMMENT.
Clippings From a Few Of Our Ex.
changes Commenting on the Sol.
diers' Home Management.

The Canton News edited by one Nash
berates our governor, the members of
our Soldiers Home board and Col
Linn for what he calls gross misman-
agement of our most important state
institution. As we stated last week the
course of Col. Linn seemed at the out
set to be harsh and despotic but the
condition of affairs there now thorough
ly justifes the wisdom of his course
There is no state home in the entire
land that saows such an enrolment or
can show the presence of so many tho,
roughly contented, well fed, comfort
ably housed and kindly treated men as
the South Dakota State Soldiers Home,
Stick pin here Mr.. Nash The Home
is not refuge for political mendicants
nor are the friends of the commandant
or any other man entertained there at
state expense. Stitch a pin there Mr.
Nash. The regulations now enforced
in the Home are not those applied to
convicts in the penitentiary but rather
those formulated to prolong the life
and make it pleasant for those honor
ed defenders of our nations honor
Stick pin here, Mr.. Nash Mr. Hop
kins was 'kicked" out because he hat
ed Col. Clough and wants the whole
world to do likewise Put a pin in
here Mr.. Nash. Mr.. Macumber after
his plaint published in this paper
qualified his statement by saying that
he did not say that COL Linn opened
his letter and further that he had no
personal grievance against Mr.. Linn
but was satisfied the board. not Mr.
Linn needed investigation. Put a pin
there, Mr.. Nash Of those men who
were sunlmarily "kicAed out all but
three have been re-admitted upon their
own voluntary application and the
remainder can get back when they
agree to abide by the same regulations
that they have made the Home home
in fact as we'll as in name Put pin
here Mr.. Nash. Mr.. Nash has been
possessed of an all consuming desire
to become commandant of the Home
and his disappointment has created
within him a rage that knows no
bounds COL Linn started him in
business years ago and not unlike the
historic viper warmed in Cleopatra's
bosum, he strikes what he intends to be
mortal blow for his benefactor. The
Hot Springs papers, Mr.. Nash, may
hastily jump at conclusions but they
will eventually discard the dross and
fully appreciate true worth. The Her
aid suggests, Mr.. Nash that You de
vote your time and talents, if you have
any, 10 more noble and glorious pur
pose. Your animus is we'll known
and if you read your exchanges care
fully you will find that your efforts are
very coldly received. Better quit now
and save the remnant of your credit
Hot Springs Herald.
1T is but justice to Commandant
Linn, and to the people, that we state
the case as we are best able to Judge it,
SO long as we feel it necessary to men
tion it at all We certainly are un-
biased in the matter, for politically we
strongly opposed change of comman-

removed. And we want to say here
that we cannot endorse whatever retec'
tions may have been made upon his
administration in comparison with the
present Of course there we're COM
plants when Capt. Lucas was COM
mandant, as there are now there may
have been some cause, and there may
be some cause now but from all that
one can learn from general inquiry the
Home has been a most pleasant home
for the veterans under both manage
ments Each sought in his own way
to enforce the rules, and particularly
the one forbidding drunkenness. Col.
Linn and Capt. Lucas are personally
very different men, and their methods
of government are consequently differ
ent Those who might personally
prefer one for commandant might not
enjoy the other so much. but as to their
management Of the Home all but a
very few have gotten along nicely with
both and have nothing but praise for
either.
'.The charges made against Col.
Clough, as president Of the board of
managers, is even less worthy Of atten-
tion than those against the comman-
dant. They are no charges at all Col
Clough is sufficiently we'll known
throughout the state to not need any
defense from the silly specifications
against his official conduct.
''As to Mr.. Hopkins, who is the
author of the pamphlet, it seems that
he feels called upon to interest himself
in having the Home run according to
his notions. He says is "a private let.
ter made public" addressed to the w.
K. G.: "And, lest you misapprehend me
(as most other people do) let me inform
you that am under solemn promise to
God, to myself and to this Home family
that will stand guard for them as long
as it and endure"
'ln the same letter he stated that:
There is not for this same reason alone
(the lask of woman in the dining
ROOM single soldiers home in the
American union worthy of the name" ;"
These two quotations will indicate to
the public very plainly the condition
of Mr.. Hopkins mind. He is, perhaps,
a subject deserving Of sympathy, but
no sane person could read the mass of
baseless and senseless stuff in that
pamphlet without wondering, after he
had finished, what it was ever printed
for, and what charge the author had
really in ended to make. No case is
made out, and it seems to us one
would belittle himself by encouraging
such things. Whenever anything
palpably wrong and detrimental to the
purposes and best interests Of the Home
is shown to the board, or the people, it
would not require much argument to
secure just verdict, for the people
want the old boys treated right But
regardless of the political proclivities Of
the management no honest and fair
pers n can encourage and approve OF
every kick that may be registered
The position of commandant is a trying
one at best, and it is an unworthy mo-
tive in any one to encourage making
trouble between the commandant. and
those under his command
From authentic, sources we learn
that an effort has been made by inter

DETROIT, Mich, June Thomas
fooled the Millers for seven innings
this afternoon, and during that time
the Detroits accumulated fifteen hits
and thirteen runs off Hermann. Baker
succeeded the new twirler in the
seventh but it was a hopeless task, and
Minneapolis could not make showing
against such odds. Hermann's special
ty is a batting average fattener. 1t
has been said he did not want to come
into the Western league, and from his
performance today he will not have to
stay long. He put the ball over, but
kept 1t low. and the sluggers laid
against it. The feeders played good
game, considering the great amount CT
chasing they had. Thomas was touched
up in the eighth. but in the other eight
innings but four hits were made Off
him. DUNCAN, Hines and W1lmot c.d
some fine hitting. and the local team
kept up the remarkable field work.
Minneapolis scored in the second On
Nicholson's two-bagger, Balls bunt
and a wild pitch. In the eighth, Baker
singled, Letcher drove out triple and
Miller and Wilmot hit safe, bringing
in two runs. For Detroit the batting
was continuous after the first inning.
In the second wildness and two hits
sent in one. Two singles, an error by
Nicholson and Aliens triple account
for the trio in the third. Five lorg
drives IN the fourth, two of them
doubles by Nicho1 and DUNCAN ana one
a single by Hines, sent in two. Thomas

PulIman's Latest and Richest Goes
Into Service Tonight.

With rumble of wheels and a hiss Of
escaping steam, the finest train in the word
drew into the union depot yesterday morning
and st. Paul people were permitted for the
first time to see Pulman's wonderful creation
which goes into service today on the Burling
ton, between Chicago and the Twin Cities.
1t has taken the train several days to come
up from Chicago, as it was |, exhibited for
various intervals all along the line, and the
supply of super,atives was exhausted long
before General Superintend ent9Hastings was
enabled to get the train intC Est. Paul. At
Lacrosse, Mankato and all the other principal
towns down the river, from 3. GOA to 900 psople
visited the train and expressed their amaze
ment. So great was the rush in places
of the train to keep the crowd moving prop
erly.

In these columns last week.. 1t would be
difficult to convey any adequate impression of
the elegance of the train from a mere bit Of
word painting The train from end to end is
triumph Of American SKILL perfection and
ingenuity. Luxury finds its acme there.

their friends through the pride CT the

hundreds Of people from visiting the train.

Great care has been taken to make summer
travel pleasant and free from annoyance. The
