Mr., Coursey's Address.

Mr.. Coursey said: "Ladies and Gen.
tlemen: / hold myself in no wise re-
sponsible for the personal illusions
that have been made to ne and my
work, as your superintendent, by the
speakers of the afternoon. Their en-
tended personal concentrations. l
very much regret. | assure you they
were not solicited by me, and l ask
that you charge them up to the ones
who made them, as they were entire
ly of their own volition.
Friends: AS j stand here before
you TINS afternoon, [ am very deeply
affected with feelings of both Joy and
sadness; joy over the happy relations
existing between yourselves and my
self, sadness that their termination
is so near a close. Most earnestly
shall ] live in hopes that this formal
separation may be only the termina-
tion of my official relations to YOU.
and that the feelings of common
sympathy, mutual friendship and
hearty good will by which we are and
have been bound together, may en-
dure through our natural lives.'
NJ. CouIsey then reviewed the I'M
foresecn circumstances which led to
his election as county superintendent
in 1900. Commenting on some of the
criticisms made upon his course in
the campaign, because he refused to
give away liquor and cigars, he said:
''Being a total absta1ner from both,
myself, | felt that it would be far
beneath the dignity of the position
to which l aspired, and that it. would
be sacrificing my individual honor as
a man. Shame! thrice shame, on

smothets the rebuke of his guilty
conscience while he strangles his

Rev. III. S. Wilkinson, of Mitchell,
gave an interesting talk on "Person-
ality in Education" He said in
part: Il don't know why | have been
asked to take part in this program.
L never taught school a day IN my
life. Perhaps for this reason l am
supposed to know all about it. You
know how it is-men who have never
preached a sermon know just how 1T
should be done. a fellow who has
never held an office knows just how
the government should be run. A
woman who has never raised a child
of her own knows just exactly how
her neighbours children should be
raised" Mr.. Wilkinson closed with
a reference to his brief experience as
a school teacher.
The Very Reverend Dean Shea was
unable to be present for his address
on account OF having received Inform
alton that his sister was not expect
ed to live. information to that effect
having come SATURDAY morning.
S. G. Oathout, principal of the
Ethan schools, spoke on Superin
tendent Coursey as a Counselor and
Friend" The speaker referred to
the instances.where he had been the
gamer by the friendship of the super
intendent and how he had been
helped through his counsel; that
whatever success he had attained as
teacher had been due to this inter
est. He touched upon the superln-
tendent's Judgment in educational
affairs and stated that no teacher or
school board ever got into trouble by
following his advice.
Prof. L. j.. Quigley. superintendent
elect, spoke on the FRelation of an
outgoing to an Incoming Superin-
tendent." The professor said he
never saw a fellow who would add so
much voluntary work upon himself
Mr.. Coursey, that he had net all
the problems that had faced his su-
pervision and had added many more.
Mr.. Quigley said he could not ask for
a more worthy predecessor in Office,
that Mr.. Coursey had adopted a con-
s%ervative course in his relations to
him and since election day Mr.. Quigley
said that the superintendent had
been extremely kind in familiariz-
ing him with all the conditions of
the school work throughout the en-
tire county. Prof. Quigley said he
was going to do his best and asked
all present to stand 10y him.
Or. Thomas Nicholson, president
of Dakota University, spoke on
"Higher Education." He held that
six or eight years spent by the stu
dent between the ages of Is and %
years, in college, would lead to 20
years to added usefulness in their old
DAYS. He made an urgent plea to
the young folks present to 90 ahead
and complete their higher education.
In closing he read an extract from
an address on the same subject de-
livered by Mr.. Fairbanks, soon to be
i%naugurated as vice president of the
United States, before the students of
an eastern college in June last.

[sPzcrAL CORRESPONDENCE

The republican mass meeting held
in. the Exposition building in Min
neapolis a short time ago is not
likely to be eclipsed or even
equaled as a political rally during
the present campaign. The prin-
cipal speaker was ''Uncle 10" Can
non, who is generally conceded to
be about the heaviest gun in the
republican armament, and on this
occasion he justified his reputation.
Speaker Cannon is a very dis
tinguished man. He is speaker of
the national house of representa-
tives, and IN his position has more
power than the President of the
United States. This power, while
conferred by custom rather than by
statute, is nevertheless recognized
by every member of the body over
which the speaker presides.

When Speaker Cannon, attired In
a suit of grey, with Prince Albert
coat, stepped before the good peo-
pie who faced him he received an
ovation that almost embarrassed
him. He had been introduced as
the man who was second only to
Theodore Rooseveltlin the hearts of
the people aud in official import
ance, and the ovation must have
tended to convinceikhim that the
statement was true. His hair and
beard snowy white, hisIface lighted
by a smile that told of pleasure and
appreciation, he was truly an in
teresting figure as he stood with
his long, bonyl arms outstretched
appealing to the great audience to
cease the applause and let him be-
gin his speech. He began much as

Every word of every important
utterance was emphasized by some
peculiar gesture or movement.
Sometimes he clapped his hands,
sometimes he stamped about the
stage like tragedian-a clap or a
stamp for every word asSIthe latter
deliberately emerged. 7 When ap-
preaching a climax hesbegan to rise
on his tip-toes, and when the climax
was reached he brought his whole
weight down on his heels accom-
panied by vigorous hand swat
that reminded one of the concerted
sound of bass drum and cymbals.
When describing anything that APP
peared to him to be ..monotonous he
would swing his attenuated arms
in concert before him like the pen
dulum of a clock, and when talking
of something that was so narrow or
small as to be detestible he would
assume a crouching attitude. make
little circle with his thumb and
forefnger, then throw scowl whose
sarcasm would wither a burdock.

we'd struck some unknown metrop-
oils
So many improvements have been
made within the half decade we
were away, that my pen couldn't
make note of the half, and so I will
only say of the city, that it was the
very cream of all | visited; with it's
wealth of beautifully kept lawns, its
lastly modelled homes; its well ar
ranged business houses, its new
library nearing completion, its
churches and school building, and
other public edifces make it the
ideal city-a mecca for the moneyed
man to retire in and enjoy life as it
could never be in the hustling be-
grimed cities of larger dimensions,
Then there's the lake! added to
that, the park, added to those, the
attractive launches and you have a
grand total-of beauty, such as
Inner with the most skilled fin
gers, and palette with it's untold
wealth of glimmering shades, could
never transmit to canvasl A grand
total that combines health for your
selves and children grand total,
whose aggregate value is far ahead,
even of your Carnegie building, for
its beneficial results to your city.
When L'Enfant made his plan of
Washington, he utilized every niche
and corner-not rod of land was
wasted, and today this "city of mag
ni6cent distances is filed with
beauty spots OF all kinds and des-
criptions-visitors finding them in
the most unexpected corners, and
yet, in it's infancy, or rather, when
it was much older in years, than is
your own city, it was not half so
beautiful
When l viewed the lake, and not
ed the great change it made in the
general outline of that part of Red
wood, I wondered if the labors of
the committee of six" were just as
fully appreciated by your citizens
as they should be, for it must have
been herculean task, to have en-
gineered such project to final COM
pletion, both financially, and other
wise; but pshawl I forget that Herb,
the successful banker, was the in
defatigable little leader, and there
lis nothing too complicated for him
to land, Excepting possibly the
Gulf & Manitoba?) while the rear
was brought up by No. 6-the vet
eran newspaper man in the county,
and whoever knew a genuine news
paper man to fail-no sirl that word
is Mt in his vocabulary! and so with
such 'puller" and 'pusher' who
we're evidently stoutly aided by
their four splendid lieutenants,
Redwood is the possessor of mon
ument that her every citizen, young
and old, can laud with just and hon.
est pride.
And now here's to Redwood, the
flower of southwestern Minnesota,
and may she keep abreast of the
record she has already won, both in
beauty and name.

But Uncle 10 has distinguishing
traits other than those conferred by
his official position. His very per-
sonality distinguishes him. for there
is only one Uncle 10 Cannon. He
is statesman of the old school
type, and he does not take kindly
to new methods in anything. He
has ways of saying things and do
ing things peculiarly his own, and
no one could initiate him. His
gaunt, towering form, his quaint
and simple phraseology, his analyt-
zeal style, his deliberate speech and
unique gestures combine to make
him one of the most interesting
speakers that ever mounted the
platform. He is not eloquent in the
general sense of the term but be is
interesting, instructive, entertain
ing and amusing. QHe is called by
some the Abraham Lincoln of the
twentieth century, andshe certainly
has traits enoughi in common with
those of Lincoln to justify the char
acterization.
