Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-11-30

The next two years must be of
definite results in the way of reform
government and the restriction of
corporation abuses. If the Republi-
can bosses thwart Mr.. Hughes in bis
work of reform, or If Mr.. Hughes him.
self falters, it Will be useless to ap-
peal again to Democrats to save the
State from demagogues. If the peo-
pie are driven to the conviction that
nothing but demagogy can sweep
away the old order of things, they
will vote for demagogy. When that
feeling comes it will be too late to
appeal to reason.
The New York Press (Republican):
Well, Mr.. Hughes won, as he de-
served to win. But he has won by SO
narrow margin, with Republican
wreckage strewing all the State, that
we guess those who have been wont
to defy public sentiment will at last
realize that this is final warning.
And this is the. warning:
Mr.. Hughes must make good. Not
that this paper questions his purpose
to make good. But if the financial
rulers, the monopolists, the criminal
rich and their horde of political
agents block him in his efforts to
make good. If Mr.. Hughes is not per-
mitted by those who control members
of the Legislature and other officials
to give square deal as. well as to
talk about it, the people of the State
are done with the Republican party.
And when New York is done with it
SO is the rest of the country =
If Mr.. Hughes, as Governor, is not al
lowed to give the people of this State
a square deal in the fullest measure,
then the United States cannot be
saved to the Republican party two
years from now, as New York has
just been saved-by the skin Of the
teeth.

,tion, figures as the unconven-

instruction, figures as the unconven-
| tional hero.
Shortly after his election Mr.. U.s.
trud received by express a copy of
| Webster's International Dictionary.
1t was the last edition, and it was
beautifully bound. The volume was
one such as any school man should be
delighted to own. BY mail came a
polite letter from the publishers say
ing that the dictionary had been sent
in accordance with an old custom by
which all newly elected superintend-
ents were favored with compliment
ary copies, just as matter Of court
esy. Probably never before during
the years this courtesy has been ex-
tended did one of those compliment
ary volumes fail to find place in the
library of the man to whom it was
addressed. But Mr. Ustrud broke
the record. He sent the book back
to the publishers accompanied by a
note which will do as a model for any
one who may feel reluctant to accept
similar "courtesies." This is how it
ran:
| write to inform you that the copy
of Webster's unabridged dictionary
which you SO generously sent me as a
| gift has been returned to your ad-
dress. In explanation | will only
state that have made it an inviol-
able law, as public official in the
service of the people OF this state, not
to place myself under obligation to
any concern that may do business
with my own or any other branch Of
the state government.
l have no reason to doubt that you
sent me the handsome volume with
| the best of intentions, and in SO doing
! followed an old custom, but l feel
sure you realize my position, as stat
ed, and take no offense at my action
in returning the gift.
Was the South Dakota superintend-
ent right in sending back the gift?
1t does not require much probing in
to the transaction to find that he
was. What was the motive back Of
the gift? Yes, of course, it was a
courtesy as we have in the past con-
strued courtesies, but what was the
motive back of the courtesy? The
business of the publishers is to sell
dictionaries. incidentally they sell
dictionaries to schools. In his posi-
tion as superintendent of public in
struction Mr.. Ustrud will have many
schools under his Jurisdiction. He
may not have the say directly as to
what books shall be used in the
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-11-30
The Happiest Man.

Horton, Kan, Commercial: We have
always been compelled to believe that
the plain plug of a man is the hap
piest man in the world, after all. His
pants may bag at the knees, and he
may not be acquainted with the lat
est style of chin whiskers; he may not
hold down throne or the presidency
Of a railroad; he may not know the
joy of having brand of socks named
in his honor, but as he potters along
through life he gets about as much
satisfaction and claim out of it as his
more distinguished friend.
He knows there is no crank hanging

around the corner to shoot a hole
through his anatomy or bury cheese
knife up to the hilt in his person. He
knows when he sits down to his frugal
meal that he can eat his pie with his
knife with perfect impunity, for there
is no danger of its having been spiked
with rough on rats.
No doubt it is lots of fun to be
hailed whenever you step out on your
porch. and to have yourself continual
" misquoted in the newspapers, and
to know that as you hang up your
crown for the night and crawl into
your luxurious couch the police force
is standing out in your back yard to
keep the admiring public from throw
ing bricks through your window.
But Notwithstanding all these ard
ent joys the common, everyday chap,
who wears a hickory shirt and a hat
that is eight years old, gets the most
pleasure out of life in the long run.

DR. W. A. GREENE IS
 AEWC0UNTY CHAIRMAN
Head of Democratic 0rganiza- ton in County Was Former
 Physician in Bisbee,

Dr. W. A Greene, of Douglas, will have his hand on the democratic throttle during the present campaign. The choice of Dr. Greene came entire Iy unsolicited on his part. It was the desire of the committee that the chairman should be located in Douglas and party headquarters maintained here Col. Johnston was urged for the position, but feeling that his business engagements would not allow him to devote the time required to direct and manage the campaign, he declined Being urged to accept the position, Dr. Greene reluctantly consented, and his remarks made in consenting to the desires of the committee brought forth most enthusiastic applause and prof fers of support and assistance in the work to be done.
 Dr. Greene and Col Johnston, who is on the executive committee, remain ed in Tombstone today to confer with The candidates on the matter of rais- ing campaign fund and mapping out the general plan of the work.
 pr. Greene is one of the active dem ocrats of Douglas; he has a large ac- sluaintance in the county and recog- nizes that to win in politics requires thorough organization. and 1t is to be hoped that democrats in every section of the county will promptly rally when he gives the word

impress his auditors to the extent Morphy does when accompanied by a military band. which requires a voice of exceptional volume and power to stand out to such massive tones.
 His repeated engagements with the most noted bands of the world testify to his ability as a singer, his person ality and his drawing powers.
 When the fact is taken into con sideration that Morphy sings at many of the state fairs, and interstate fairs in this country, it can be read fly understood that he sings to more people in q season than any twenty other singers in the theatrical pro fession.
 Morphy's advertising ideas, like his audiences. are large to a degree, but are necessary, as managers may be skeptical as to his being able to sing with military band, which fact, however. he has proved.
 Morphy took up the thread of his successes at the parks and fairs this summer, singing, as always, to the large open air assemblages
 Such feats are possible to q man who sings to the accompaniment of a military band and Morphy is clearly entitled to his trade mark. "The Man Who Sings to Beat the Band"

MAR|COPA & PHOENIX
 BUILDING NEW BRIDGE
Hundred Men at Work and Structure Will Be Finished
 By January First,

Supt. NJ O. Bicknell of the Marico- pa & Phoenix and J. C. Mcclure, su- perintendent of maintenance and way of the Randolph lines, have returned to Phoenix from the Gila river where they have been on trip of inspection. Their trip also included a visit to points in the vicinity of Mesa. Mir. Bicknell said:
 We now have force of 100 men at work at the new Gila bridge site and the structure will be pushed rap idly to completion. The bridge will be finished, we hope, by the first of the coming year and the twenty-fourth Legislature and the supreme court jus tices when they come to Phoenix early in January will ride over the new bridge
 The new bridge will be flood proof being similar to the structure erect ed by our company across the Salt river at Tempe last summer and which stood up against the onslaughts of all floods during the winter season"
 The new bridge across the Gila river will be almost a mile in length from approach to approach and the steel portion will consist of seventeen 80-foot spans It will be built al cost of s150,00G and will be one of the finest structures in Arizona.
 The interest on S150,000 would hardly pay the expense the old bridge has been to the Maricopa & Phoenix company. Last winter it didn't bother much, but two years ago it was a COT tinual annoyance through the winter months. There was an unusual amount of rainfall that winter and the bridge was wrecked time after time during the winter. About the time it would be repaired fresh head of water would charge down the stream damaging the bridge and caus- ing another big delay in trafic. Such troubles will be unknown after January l. 1907.

JOHN GLEASON REFUSES HIS NOMINATION.
Troubles Multiply For Chair man Kirk and New Central Committee = designations Continue to Multiply.
(specIaI to Reyiew.)

TOMBSTONE. Oct 1s.--And still they drop on Since the Republican convention in Bisbee Chairman Kirk has been receiving letters from all parts of the county, from those who were put up for a sacrifice. refusing to be the offering for the Gods that would be. Added to the list of Swain and Berner is that of John Gleeson, the well known mining man. MT Gleeson was in Tombstone today, and when approached by reporter and asked if the report was true that he had refused to accept the nomination for assemblyman replied. By all means, yes, it is true would not have the nomination under any cir cumstances" Then you have no ob- jections to the newspaper announcing such as being fact?" asked the re- porter. T certainly have not, and would consider 1t a personal favor for you to do so.'
 When the news of Mir. Gleeson's nomination reached Tombsotne those of his friends, who were close to him in business relations, stated that 1t was their firm belief that he would not accept the place and it seems that they were true in their suraises.
 mere Is diSO SOlnc uOuut oo to whether or not the other two nomi- nees on the legislative ticket will ac- cept the nomination or not. A. H. Emanuel is at present in Nevada and does not expect 10 be back here be fore the middle of November. so that he will not be here to make any cam paign. Friends of Asa Walker. who know him well, state that they doubt very much if he will accept the place allotted to him on the ticket. It was done without his sanction. and he was not even consulted in the matter as was the case with others.
 The central committee or the RepuD- licans will now have to get to work and dig up some one to take the place of the nominees who refuse to be bound by the action of the faithful. It is reported that they will endeayor to locate a victim or two in Douglas to fill up the holes that have already been made in the Republican program. The work must be done soon as the law requires that the tickets be filed with the board of supervisors not less than twenty days before election.

Visitors to the territorial fair in November will probably hear the man with the biggest voice in the coun- try It is Bert Morphy. who sings to beat the band
 When Morphy trills he likes to have the biggest band obtainable to accompany him. No matter how much noise they make he sings loud drum and the big horns.
 In securing Morphy as one of the attractions, the fair commission be- lieyes it has a star of the first mag nitude One good thing about his singing is that people can be in any part of the valley near the fair grounds and hear him
 Morphy spent last winter in Lon don, visiting friends of his boyhood days, and having look at the music halls. They were all too small for his voice. It takes a 160-acre lot when he sings.
 Although he went abroad on an CT rand purely social, Morphy was un- able to escape the managers alto gether, and was induced to sing to the accompaniment of the famous Scots Guards band and also for one week at the Empress, BriXton, to show London managers what a ''Hu- man Calliope" means.
 He might have filled in the season pleasantly and profitably in London and the provinces, but he had other plans on this side of the Atlantic.
 It is rarely a singer possesses a voice of such carrying quality as to

PRICE MOVEMENTS RATHER SLUGGISH Trading Was VaeiIIating and
 Uncertain GENERAL DECLINE LATER Ar of Doubt and Waiting for EnIIsht- enment Was Perceptible In the
 Neighborhood of the
 Stock Exchange.
GENERAL DECLINE LATER

New York, September 26.-Price move nents were divided by considerable in- servals of time in the days stock mar ket and for the most part of the day the current was sluggish and listless, with a disposition to cling about last nights level. When there was any show of mobility, movements were exceedingly vacillating and uncertain, the level of prices showing the same tendency to re- turn to last nights level. At one time during the day there was a fair average of gains scattered throughout the list but from that level prices plunged to a general decline. It was difficult to trace the factors in all these movements.
 A general air of doubt and of waiting for enlightenment was perceptible in the neighborhood of the stock exchange. large amount of attention was given to the political party conventions at Buffalo and Saratoga, and traders in stocks were likely to be influenced in their operations by their interpretation of events as mak- ing for or against the growth of SO cialistic tendencies towards capital
 There was some further special pres sure against the New York public utili- ties on a supposition that the welfare of these corporations Is especially con cerned in the future, as 1t Is being shaped by the political campaign.
 An early call money rate of per cent also proved Encouragement to specula- tive sentiment, as 1t was supposed that 1t marked the beginning of the pinch of the preparations for the October settle ments This fear was disproved by the later developments. the call loan rate fall ing back before the active money lending for the day was concluded. Not only was the call money market undisturbed, but appreciably tone prevailed for time loans. and additional supplies were offered in that market. There has been some money withheld from the call loan market waiting for a rise in the rate to desig- mated figure. It is believed that the fail- ure of call loan rates to advance has prompted placing some money thus held in the time loan market. Yesterday was the last day for payment of subscrip- tions to the contemplated issue of St. Paul stock, calling for about $l2.000OOO and the completion of arrangements for the payment may have released some money
 An announcement of an additional en- gagement of $15000,000 gold for import also helped the money market, as it was feared that the dwindling proportions of the movement lately had reached the vanishing point. The foreign exchange market eased off to some extent today, and discount rates were lower in the open market in London. This leaves the open market rate above the official rate of the bank, but there is less expectation that the bank will advance it's official rate tomorrow. Money continues to move from New York to interior points, and especially by the indirect mtehod of pay ment of revenue duties at interior points by drafts on New York. This helps to

New York, September 26.-The cotton market was somewhat irregular but steady in the main with the close at a net advance of to 9 points, Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
 The market opened firm at an advance of to g points on higher cables. and unfavorable weather reports Prices ad- vanced to net gain of to Il points during the early session, the feature be- ing the demand for october which seem ed to be led by brokers with Liverpool connection and which led to rumors that the local stock would be taken up on October contract for shipment to the Eng fish market.
 The relative steadness of the near po- sition undoubtedly helped the market on rise but local offerings were heavy at the advance and during the middle ses- sion prices reacted to within 4 or points of last nights finals on Washington dis patches to the effect that the intensity of the West Indian storm was diminish ing and that it might not reach the belt

Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

Bad weather had little effect on prices today. The tropical storm that has been careenng around in the gulf finally de- cided to make straight for the heart of the cotton belt via New Orleans. but the trade viewed this with apathy.
 Considerable rain and probable damage to open cotton was reported over the belt, but this stirred up very little bullish enthusiasm.
 A cold wave was clearly defined in the northwest and was apparently headed for the cotton region to follow in the wake of the rains, but even this did not stlmu- late buying, and the talent at last came to the conclusion that the so-callcd chronic bulls were short of the market and we're refusing to take losses on their shorts.
 Liverpool was better than expected. owing to bidding by local operators, ac- cording to private cablegrams, and this. together with the bad weather. caused a slightly higher opening, but after the initial furry prices showed no buoyancy and with any aggressiveness on the part of the bears would probably have gone decidedly lower.
 At no time did the market have a good undertone, and this was due more or less to the fact that the spot demand was de- cdedly less urgent than 1t has been and some factors were willing to adNit that they found it hard to sell cotton.
