Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1902-01-17
Governor Lee-P*estdent Roosevelt
Was Governor Lee Responsible for the
Elevation of President Roosevelt
The DEGREES of Necessity Sometimes
Produce Startling Results.

Away back at the beginning of 1898,
Andrew e. Lee was governor of South
Dakota and Theodore Roosevelt was
assistant secretary of the navy.
War in Cuba was going on red hand
ed and rumors of war with Spain were
flashed over the wires from Washing
ton by ''scooping" correspondents.
Many desired to see Uncle Sam take a
hand in the Cuban muss, while others
of less warlike nature were confident
that Uncle Sam and the naughty Span.
lard would never come to blows over
the rights or wrogs of the struggling
patriots in Cuba.
Governor Lee was one of the men
who was thoroughly in sympathy with
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1902-01-17

Third United States Volunteer Cavalry.

the struggling patriots, and from th'
the prompt action Of Theodore Roose
velt in giving up his portfolio in tn
navy department when war was de
clared, it is quite evident his great biz
heart beat in unison with the hopes and
aims of the veterans under Gomez
Spain threw down the mailed gauntlet
when her cowardly representatives in
Havana destroyed the Maine. That
dire and dreadful. blow swept to the
winds all further thought Of peace or
peaceful settlement of the bloody wal
waged by Spain against men, women
and even children in the mad effort to
conquer and destroy the rebels and lay
waste that fertile land, The die was
cast. No power on earth could stay
the hand of vengeance called to action
by the destruction Of the Maine.
The Maine was destroyed on February
Is, 1898. War was declared on April
81, 1898. The intervening time was
employed by both nations in preparing
for the struggle. Governor Lee was
expecting a call to furnish volunteers,
while Theodore Roosevelt was doing
the work of ten men, in getting the
navy in shape 10 maintain unsullied
the honor of the flag on the high seas.
Many give him credit for Admiral
George Dewey being where he was
when the order for battle was given.
Be that as it may, we do know
that to Theodore Roosevelt belongs The
credit for cutting all the old red tape
around the navy department and
putting life and action into every navy
yard in the nation.
With the introduction Of Col. Melvin
Grigsby, who becomes the prominent
actor in this historical incident. we
will pass him for the present and bring
him into action in his proper place.
Thus we hastely pass over the pre-
liminaries which bring us face to face
with the question: Was Governor Lee
responsible for the elevation of Theo.
dore Roosevelt?
Let us carefully examine the facts
which lead up to this most singular
condition and you will find that Gov.
ernor Lee had very important part in
the historical combination which
brought about the elevation of Theo.

If he had not commanded the gallant

New York!
If the rough riders had not been or
ganized as a distinct branch Of the

Roosevelt would not have been in the
army at all, for no other fighting arm
of the government could have had any
attraction for such a dashing spirit

Theodore Roosevelt learned to love a
rough riders life on the western limits
of Dakota territory. He hunted wild
game and roughed it with the best of
them, while all the time gaining the
health and strength and vigor of a
frontiersman. Ia it any wonder then

The rough riders would never hav,

not been for Col. Melvin Grigsby, who
was attorney general of South Dakota
during Governor Lees first term, and

tween him and Governor Lee, the
reason for which hath no connection
with our story. Col. Grigsby could
secure no commission in the regular
army. He must get q commission, if
at all, as a volunteer officer, and he
knew Governor Lee would not give
him one. If he got q commission it
must be as volunteer, and he couldn't t
get one from any other state. The
president had no power to commission
officers for volunteers from the states
at that time. @ "2-
Attorney General Grigsby was up
against a mighty serious problem.
There was no apparent opening for him
anywhere and war was coming fast,
after the black clouds rose from the
sinking Maine surcharged with cries
for vengeance from the dying heroes.
He was bound to be in it, and was too
old to enlist. He must secure com.
mission. How was he to do it?
Governor Lee forced him to go to
Washington for commission,
That commission called for rough
riders.
The rough riders appealed to the
dashing and forceful nature Of the
young man who was cutting red tape
and pounding action into the sleepy
bureaucrats of the gold laced navy.
1t was in March 1898 when Attorney
General Grigsby sat in the Office of the
Locke hotel at Pierre, trying to solve
the problem of commission. No wal
could go in with his country involved
unless he was in it. That was his fixed
determination. In the midst Of his
perplexities, fifteen or twenty cowboys
rode past the hotel with cowboy speed
and action and that solved the problem
in his mind. No better material in the
world for soldiers than the American
cowboy. Perfect horsemen, brave
dashing, fearless, resourceful.

FOUND GOLD COINS

From the false bottom of an old
chest which had been in his family for
more than thirty years, John McDon-
aid of 404 North Twenty-second street,
Philadelphia, recovered old English
and American coins valued at IS 900.
A few of the gold pieces were
stamped by the first coin presses set
up in this country. but most of them
are English guineas. bearing on one
side the medallion head of George III.
and on the reverse side the English
coat of arms.
John McDonald's mother bought the
chest third of century ago in a
Philadelphia second hand store. She
paid only few pennies for the plain
lumber box and had it placed in the
cellar of her home, where It was used

THE RESULT. Take it for granted
that you are pleased with the appear
ance Of the range, the terms of the pur-
chase, and that you and your husband
sign the two pieces of paper. Where
do you then stand? You have signed
a promissory note for the pay ment of
$4,000, without discount or ofset,
with interest at ak per cent from date
if not paid when due or when pre-
sented. You have waived your rights
to all exemptions allowed you by law
You have signed an bound
contract from which there is no es>
cape in law.
You do not legally own the range
until the note is paid in full. The
Company can take the range away
without returning the part payment:
you have made. It is no legal excuse
that you did not know what you were
signing. The company can sue you
upon note, recover judgment, and
levy against your household goods.
THE ADVICE. Don't trade with

your old stove with hammer to show
you how frail it is Remember that
all stoves will need repairs. and that
