Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1905-11-10

Shall the president be Sustained i?
:OOOOoOOG

clusion. The forecast is that it will
be matter of form. All eyes are
turned toward the senate.
In certain phrase the question is:
Shall the president be sustained:
But there is a stronger and more
comprehensive statement. The queS-
tion is:
Shall the government by and for
the people be preserved, or shall gov
ernment by and for the corporations
be accepted?
The corporations have been arro-
CANT and in too many cases offensive
in pressing their side OF the case.
There has been too much assumption
that the color of a dollar will blind
the conscience of The people. Money
has filled their thoughts and they
have come to put a price on the
suffrage of free people. The presi-
dent OF the United States, providen-
italy in his place, has called a halt.
His flag is against the sky, and there
on IS this strange ueVlce:
"a Square Deal" ...
The marvellous prosperity Of the
United States has filled the air with
the buzz of industry. Men in all
walks of life have gone mad in the
pursuit of wealth. The corporations
grown to giants have gone by leaps
and bounds to the possession of pow
er. They have appeared as of right
in the councils of the people to point
the way of personal interest. In the
midst of this reign of royalty, per-
chance of this holocaust of liberty,
there loomed the figure of a robust
man. Practical politics made him
vice president, the hand of an assas-
sin made him president. A year ago
the American people by an over
whelming majority said Amen to the
will of God. Theodore Roosevelt is
the man of the hour. North and
south, east and west. the voice of the
people has been delegated to him.
He stands forth in their strength.
The time to quible, to handy words,
to dispute over definitions, to weigh
points in the balances of the consti-
tuition, is not now.
The railroad rate question is an in
| cident. The substance lies back of it.
Every problem Of local self govern
| ment is involved. Is this govern
ment for and by the corporations,
or is it government for and by the
| people?
The memorable words of Mr.. Lin.
coin at Springfield, June II, 1858, are
recalled:
"a house divided against itself
cannot stand. l believe this govern
ment cannot endure permanently
half slave and half free. ] do not ex-
pect the union to be dissolved dc
not expect the house to fall-but |
do expect it will cease to be divided
1t will become all one thing, or all
the other"
The corporations will become sub.
ordinate to the government, or the
government will become subordinate
to the corporations.
Which shall it be: That is the i'm.
mediate question.
The recent convention summoned
by the corporations to meeting in
Chicago, the purpose of which was
to pillage the capital of another con-
| vention, was the work Of blind and
passionate folly. The movement was
born of the arrogance of the corpor-
ations, and the method of it was not
new to their hands. 1t was not that
the Baconites were right and their
course wise; it was that the corpora
tions were wrong, seeking to do COW
ertly, by influence, by gross appeal
to self interest, aye, by intimidation

100000:

Papers that have stood for "a
square deal" between the law max
ing power and the railroads were
classed as "machine" organs and anti
Roosevelt, and whole lot of non
SenSical terms, and the LEADER was
sometimes referred to as a railroad
organ. The LEADER is no railroad
organ cc any ether kind of an organ
it is plain newspaper published in
the interest of the people, demanding
justice for all at all times.
The editor of the LEADER came
into Dakota Territory ahead OF rail
roads and did great deal of work to
secure the first railroad from Sioux
City to Yankton. He is friend OF
railroads today and expects to be as
every other man should be who can
realize what railroads mean for the
development of our country. At
this point friendship broadens into
justice and the rights of the people
are to be considered.
This is a government by and for
the people and no man can question
the right of the people for "a square
deal.' The people pay the bills and
put up the money to sustain both the
government and the railroads.
The people elect a president anc
congress and pay their salaries. The
people make it possible for the rail
roads to exist and the people who
elect lawmakers are themselves SUBJ
ject to the laws made by their SER
wants.
Are the railroads any better than
the people or the power that created
them?
The people and the President ask
nothing but justice between the rail-
roads and the people.
The lawmaking power of the nation
must be supreme and every organiza-
tion under that law must be amen
able to the power that gave it life.
For a period of thirty years the
cupidity of man has been exerted to
the utmost to organize combinations
which at the present time virtually
seek to rule the nation by reason OF
their vast interests and billions of
wealth which the people have paid.
This tremendous and dangerous
power is centered in the hands Of less
than a dozen men who through years
of unrestricted combination have
come to regard themselves above the
law and arrogantly question the right
of congress to supervise or interfere
with their methods of doing business.
| Congress has that right and con.
gress must maintain that right or
the corporations will become the
government.
Among the many able articles
written on the railroad rate question
we have read nothing that seems to
cover the ground SO completely as the
following able editorial from the
Sioux City Journal of November four,
which we take the liberty of repro.
ducing. Editor Perkins reviews the
issue with forceful directness and nc
man will charge him with being a
radical His editorial begins with:
| PASSING BETWEEN TELLERs.
The lineup at Washington is on.
Tellers have been appointed, ard
the representatives of the people are
to pass through and be counted.
They are to vote on a question OF
transcendent Importance. 1t Is such
a portentous question that party
lines are obscured by it.
One Of the tellers is Theodore
Roosevelt: the other, call him by
what name you will, represents the
physically great corporations
The result of the vote in the house
of representatives is foregone con-

things which are always such inn

But to get all of the good times possi-

coming to her, the club woman must
be a delegate from some club. Many
advantages accrue to the delegate that
do not come to the lay member. And

for the woman who wishes to go be-
cause it assures her of a great many

per capita. Each club of fifty mem
bers or less shall be entitled to be rep

Each club of between fifty and one
