Don't Disgrace the Senate.

The Lead Daily Call says that the
senate of the United States has dis
graced no senator. 1t has been the
men who were sent there by the
legislatures who have disgraced the
senate, and then asks if the people OF
South Dakota are willing to send
Martin to the senate who openly
voted to steel $l9O,OO0 from the U. S.
treasury for mileage not one cent of
which was due him or those who vot-
ed with him and Burke.
The people of South Dakota will
never send a man like Martin to the
senate, the highest legislative body
of the nation. with such record be-
hind him.
The Call puts the matter in this
shape to the voters of Lawrence coun-
ty and the state:
New York is responsible for Depew,
Kansas for the convicted Burton, and
Washington for the convicted Mitch
ell. and not the senate. And if the
state of South Dakota sends the man
who voted for the $4,000 mileage
steal to the senate the senate will
not be responsible for the disgrace
but the people of the state. And par
ticularly the people Of the Black Hills
and more particularly the people of
Lawrence county, and more particu-
larly still, the people of this indus
trial city of Lead. The city Of Lead
can, if it will, control any republican
convention of Lawrence county, and
without Lawrence county no Black
Hills man can be sent to the senate.
So the responsibility for a disgraced
representative in the senate of the
| United States will rest, primarily, on
this city alone. What are you going
to do about it, republicans of Lead?
Are you going to read the disclosures
of Lawson, one of which was to the
effect that Standard Oil Rogers pro-
duced a written statement signed by
more than half of the senators of the
United States by which they pledge
themselves to vote to keep the SEN
ator elect, Clark, of Montana, from
taking his seat in the senate, unless
he surrendered to the Standard Oil
in the fight between them which dis
closure has never been denied by any
senator? Are you going to continue
to read the revelations of graft made
by Lincoln Stef1ins and continue to
vent your indignation in empty

In this issue Of the Leader you will
find the contents Of letter written
by Secretary of War Taft in behalf of
himself and President Roosevelt to a
Cincinnati Roosevelt Club. setting
forth their views on machine politics
and how to beat machine bosses. Dur
ing the present political upheaval all
over the country, and especially in
South Dakota, it is most encouraging
to know that the President and his
able Secretary of War stands squarely
with that element the Kit machine
loves to call insurgents. The Presi-
dent is outspoken against all kinds of
machine bosses and machine politics
and his friends and admirers in South
Dakota are pleased to know that he
belongs to the insurgent class who
are battling so earnestly for good
government and clean politics. No
man living knows the corrupt power
of the machine boss any better than
President Roosevelt, because he has a
senate of machine bosses to deal
with. -#

Corporation made legislatures and
corporation made poll tical machines
i'm every state is at the bottom Of the
fuel famine and highway robbery of
the people. The miners don't get a
cent too much at the best in putting
a ton of hard coal at the mouth of
the pit, but we here in Canton have
to pay S10.5O ton, about SS going for
freight. Iowa soft coal costs us here
$3.50 per ton, about So going for
freight. So long as the railroad cor
porationS are allowed to dictate who
shall go to the legislature and who
shall run the politics of the state,
just SO long shall the people be rob-
bed and plundered and made to suffer
besides. There is plenty of coal near
Deadwood and just as good as any
Iowa coal, which can be brought to
the east side of the state and laid
down in Canton for less than Iowa
coal. but will the railroads do it? If
the people of this state hope to throw
off the corporation yoke they must
first elect governor who stands with
people and legislature that won't be
owned by the corporations. The SO.
called machine or organization from
Kit down to Burn the Books are alb
solute tools of the corporations, and
every man who fights for the machine
is fighting to maintain this infamou:
system.

politics (and there are no other poll

heres to regularity given you as a
club in working reforms within the
party.
The conduct OF municipal affairs
has no natural relation to the conduct
of national affairs, and while it does
not seem possible to eliminate from
municipal elections the system of
nominating party tickets, there ought
certainly be cultivated much wider
spirit of independence at municipal
elections in the scratching Of improp-
er candidates selected by either party
than is likely to be ever exercised
with reference to state or national
elections.
After reciting that the club can ac-
complish much more by selecting
those best qualified for candidates for
public Office and not simply because
the candidate may be a member Of
the club he concludes as follows:
| the club will always resist and
expose corruption and be active in
the promotion of reform in public af-
fairs. and if it will follow practicable
and sensible methods Of organization

President Roosevelt and Hon. Will
liam ii. Taft were recently unanimous
ly elected honorary members of the
Roosevelt Republican CLUB Of Cincin-
natl. This club is a new organization
formed after the recent election as an
instrument for the maintenance of
the republican organization "Opposed
TO bossism and machine politics.
In long letter Of acknowledgment
and acceptance of the honor for him
self and for President Roosevelt, Sec
retary Taft makes some striking
statements.
Referring to the recent defeat of
George b. Cox as a political leader in
this city, the secretary says that this
is Il great step towards good munich
pal government, "but its benefit may
be largely lost if the people pat them
serves on the back with the pleasant
idea that boss rule is broken up and
that the future will take care of it.
self The truth is that the victory
will be worse than fruitlesS unless
some means are devised to make its
effects permanent. 1t is idle to hope
that people may be aroused at every
political contest to defeat machine
states. unless there are counter organ
izations made up of young men actu-
ated by the patriotic desire to select
only good candidates.
He advises against the club becom-
ing a "better than thou" association,
which. he says, would beat its object
by it's eXclusiveness and lack of politi-
cal sense. Continuing, he says:
The assistance Of men of honesty
and character, who were associated,

it seemed all powerful, but really re-
joice now at what seems its down.

find it offered in good faith.

A BIT or MACHINE WORK.
The Machine Candidate For
Attorney General Lands
An Iowa Boy Through
Martin for West
Point.

Charles Mix News: Congressman
Martin has nominated Frederick
Clinton Gates, of GeddeS, as cadet at
Annapolis and Charles Arthur Pike
of SpeartiSh, as alternate. They will
be ordered for examination in May
next.
A correspondent over at Geddes il
Charles Mix county, sent the Leader
the above item, with the following
interesting story connected there
with.
| The young man Gates has never
been a resident of Charles Mix cOun
ty, having been raised and educated
at Des Moines, Iowa, although his
father has resided here for three OF
four years buying and shipping cattle.
A local paper said that the appoint
ment of this Iowa boy to West Point
was secured by Attorney Joe Lindsay
through E. w. Martin. 1t is well
understood over here that Attorney
Lindsay is the real machine candidate
for Attorney General and that Cuth-
bert of your county is only being used
as a decoy.
1t is also known that Mr.. Gates
was an insurgent until Lindsay's deal
with Martin took place. Lindsay of
course wants % bring Charles Mix
into the machine camp and is work.
ing the ''anything for Charles Mix
county" racket to fool the unsuspect-
ing anti machine men.
1t seems pretty tough on our Dako-
ia boys that Martin had to go to Des
Moines, Iowa, for a candidate for
West Point, and give second place to
the Spearfish boy, but over here the
machine seems to be as desperate as
it is over in Lincoln county.
The Charles Mix people feel about
as friendly to boss Martin as the re-
publicans of Rapid City do.
The only residence the Gates boy
can claim in Charles Mix was two or
three visits to his fathers ranch, but
this made no difference to Joe and
Martin. Anything to help the ma
chine.
The people are against the machine
everywhere, and none stand for the
bosses only those who want post
Office and have one. My, won't there
be some band wagon climbing when
Gamble goes back to the senate and
Burke gets it in the neck in June.

Machine Desperation.

During the caucus in the first ward
last week, four honorable and respect
able citizens OF Canton were challeng
ed by Fred Cuthbert, machine candi-
date for attorney general. The men
challenged were Judge Kennedy,
President Tuve of Augustana College,
Prof Nordgard of the college faculty
and Simon Haw, a veteran of the
civil war, who went into the army a
republican before Cuthbert was born
and has always been a republican, al
though he has at times scratched his
ticket. The challenging of these old
residents was the dirtiest piece of
spite work any man has ever been
guilty of in the city, but Cuthbert
didn't challenge Elwell, who was nat
uraliZed just before the caucus and
lives in Sioux Falls. He was for the

Adequate Robert Louis Stevenson
D.@

Robert Louis S%tevenson's work
seems never to grow old. 1t lives as
strongly in the hearts of men and
women and boys and girls as ever it
did. A demand has long been felt
for adequate illustration of the dra-
matte scenes in the great classics of
this master of romance. Mr.. Walter
little, in the December Metropolitan
Magzine, has five full-page pictures,
printed in sepia, Illustrating the
greatest scenes in "The Bittle Imp

enson will never want to read these
stories again without having these
pictures by him. The tint is exquisite
and they are so well printed that it
is safe to say many readers will frame
them.
