Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-10-26

sters are beginning to realize that a
political cyclone is due on November
6. Let all fair minded republicans
in the Day-Marshall district unite
and clean out Dave Williams and his
infamous boss methods for good.
The state machine that has backed
Williams so long is smashed into
smithereens, and the people have
now chance to put Dave out Of the
boss business for all time If they are
patriotic and desire honest politics.
The Williams machine is an of
shoot of the Kittredge machine, and
as the Kittredge machine is knocked
into scrapiron, it only remains for the
people Of Day county to do little
smashing, assert their independence
and emerge from under the machine
filth that has practically dominated
that county for years.
Why should Dave Williams and his
gang disgrace Day county any long
er?

Marshall County Outrage.

Lieutenant Governor McDougall
was in Canton Friday on his way
home from a meeting of agricultural
dealers at Sioux Falls, and while
waiting for a delayed train visited a
number of friends in this city.
The editor of the Leader, while
discussing political conditions with
Col. McDougall, asked him regarding
the political outrage committed upon
the people of Marshall county by the
Day county machine in the district
convention when the delegates from
the two counties met to nominate
two state senators.
Lieutenant Governor McDOugall,
while classed as stalwart, has taken
no active part in the contest this
year and was at Mitchell when the
senatorial convention was held and
knew nothing of the outrageous poilt-
ical robbery until he returned to his
home at Britton.
"Marshall county is solid for re-
venge," said the governor, "and every
republican, democrat, and prohibi-
zionist in the county are as one when
it comes to defeating the infamous
tactics of the Day county gang of

A PRETTY GAME OF FOOTBALL.
Canton and Hawarden High
school Teams Played Il Splen-
did Game at Canton With
Goose Egg Scores.

Last Friday afternoon the Harvard
en- High School football team came
here for second game with our boys.
After having won the first game and
making creditable showing against
Sioux Falls, they confidently expected
to pile up a big score. From the first
minute of play however it became ap-
parent that they had met a team
that was fully equal if not their sup
I eriOr. Throughout the first half the
playing was most stubborn and evenly
contested, with little advantage to
either side, although Hawarden was
threatening Canton's goal at the end
of the half. In the second half Can
ton braced and playing with grit and
at times brilliancy kept the play in
Hawarden's territory and was pre-
vented from scoring only by luck and
mistaken decision of the referee.
This play about which there has been
considerable discussion. was the same
one by which Chicago last fall won
the Intercollegiate championship from
Michigan. The captain of the Ha
warden team attempting to catch
punt near his own goal line was
tackled by Rodney Kennison. If he
was forced across the line by the
tackle, the play was what is known as
a safety and counted two for Canton,
but if he crossed the goal line before
the tackle and was thrown behind it,
the play is touchback and counted
nothing Neither of the officials was
in a very good position to see and the
referee finally decided to call it
tOuchback, thus leaving the score
tie at to O. The Canton manage
ment and the team believe that it is
better to have the score a tie with
the consciousness of having outplayed
their opponents, of having given them
all they could possibly claim, and of
having established a reputation for
fair play. than to have the score 2 to
O and have the opposing team 60
home crying Robbery"
While it would be true to say that
the Canton boys played good game,
the work of Captain Ringheim in
carrying the bail stands out as prob
ably the best. Kennedy and Kennison
at the ends broke up play after play
and won place in the hearts of the
fans. The roofing of the girls was no
mean factor in the game as they kept
it up clear through and inspired the
boys to do their best work towards
the last.
Time of playing, two 20 minute
halves. Officials Reed and Wood
burn. Gate receipts S29. 20.
The next game here will be with
the Parker High School team on

Good Roads and Rural Mails.

1t is announced that the govern
ment will look more carefully to the
enforcement of it's rule regarding the
roads over which rural free delivery
is established. The present require
ment is: "Roads traversed shall be
kept in good condition and unob-
structed by gates; there must be no
unbridged creeks or streams not ford
able at any season of the year." In
many cases the residents along pro-
posed routes have made improve
ments that enable them to obtain
rural delivery service, but sometimes
the efforts to keep up the roads are
relaxed. But the government has de-
cided that unless the roads travelled
by the carriers are properly maintain
ed the service will be withdrawn.
The Postotfice Department now calls
on the carriers for reports on the
roads, and will stop the service where
the highways in question are bad.
The 35,973 rural delivery carriers
now employed cover S63,363 miles
daily, and it is unreasonable to expect
them to contend with neglected
roads, or to work for communities
lacking the enterprise to keep their
common highways in decent shape.
Wherever a route is discontinued the
inhabitants themselves will be to
blame for it, for if alive to their own
interests and their duty to the public
they would give their roads vigorous
and constant attention. The idea
that a route once authorized is neces-
sarily permanent is mistake. Ad-
vice on the best road method is sup
piled by the Agricultural Depart
ment, and neighborhood that loses
it's rural delivery must itself bear the
discredit for so unpleasant and humil-
iating an event.

Golden W edding Celebration.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. d. Morris of this
city, celebrated the tftieth anniver-
sary of their marriage last Saturday
afternoon, the reception was from 3
to s p. M, at their elegant home,
corner of Dakota and 4th streets.
They were married on the twenty
first day of October, 1856, near Mar
ion, Iowa Nearly one hundred and
twenty-five ladies and gentlemen cal
led to extend congratulations to the
bride and groom who had measured
half century in their happy and
pleasant journey together since that
bright October day so far away. The
day was cloudy and a drizzling rain
fell all the afternoon and evening,
but that did not prevent the friends
of this well beloved couple from pay
ing their respects.
A large number of valuable presents
were presented them by loving
friends, and the house was filled with
visitors going and coming for nearly
five hours.
Mrs Moulton, Mrs. Clendennen,
Mrs. Storie, Mrs Bradshaw, Mrs. Ed.
L. Wendt and Mrs. Thornton had
charge Of the refreshments and Mrs
Eugene Neyhart received the guests
as they entered.
Grandpa Norris was not feeling we'll
and occupied the lounge most of the
time, but Mrs. Morris was full of life,
cheerful and happy, and her smiling
face and laughing eyes told of the joy
within her.
Many old soldiers called to con-
gratulate Comrade Morris, who was
one of the defenders of the Union
during the civil war. He enlisted in
Co. e. 18th Iowa Infantry, and his
regiment formed part of Gen. Prem
tiss' division when the rebels made
their furious charge on Gen. Grants
lines at Shiloh, in March, 1862. Prem
tiss' division was taken by surprise,
and made a gallant stand against
Gen. Johnson's overpowering num-
berS, but most of the division was
captured and Mr.. Morris was among
the captured. With other prisoners
he was sent to Montgomery, A Ia, and
in two months was sent to the union
lines for exchange, but no exchange
was made and he had to go back and
stay with the rebels four and half
months longer.
A brother Of the aged veteran, Mr..
J. f. Morris and wife and daughter
of Ireton, Iowa, were present, and
brother of Mrs. Morris, G. F. Bailey
and wife of Barney, North Dakota.
were also present to extend congratu-
lations. Mrs. j. e. Hammer of Alex
andria, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Morris, with her three children, were
present to join in the celebration.
Mrs. Martha Moore of Alexandria,
was also among the guests.
1t was a very pleasant event and
much enjoyed by those who attended.

Mayor Gemmill Kidnapped.

The Sioux City business mems ex-
cursion with its band and newspaper
men, that came to Canton on Thurs
day morning of last week and took
our booming little city by storm after
they had captured Mayor Gemmill,
departed northward with the Mayor
in their possession after the excursion
orator, Editor Caldwell Of the Journal,
had made speech from the band
stand. Mayor Gemmill had loaned
the Sioux City rainbow chasers the
keys of the city while they were here
and they so loved him that they took
him along when the train started
north. Chief Berg notified the city
council and this body at once offered
a reward for the return of the Mayor.
Some time during the evening the
Mayor returned having escaped from
the rainbow chasers at Harrisburg,
while Ex- Mayor Caldwell was making
a speech. Friends of the Mayor over
at Inwood who heard that he had
been kidnapped by bold bad men
from Sioux City, kept the phone
wires busy for a time believing he
was in danger. They were finally
convinced that he was heavily insur-
ed and would come back safe.
The Sioux City crowd wanted
Mayor Gemmilll as an additional ora
tor. fearing that Ex-Mayor Caldwell's
voice would give out, and were will
ing to pay him $50 speech and elect
him an honary member Of the "Rain-
bow Chasers,' but all inducements
failed to get him outside of Lincoln
county.

political robbers"
What do you think of it?" said
the Governor to the writer.
"Think of it," said the editor,
"why, it is the boldest and most
shameless bit of political corruption
ever known among corrupt politicians,
fitting work for hired ward heelers
and the acme of Dave Williams po-
litical perfidy."
WELL" said the governor, 1--WE are
united in Marshall county to wipe
out the disgrace. We have placed in
nomination for the senate two gentle
men in whom the people have con-
fidence and we shall elect them il the
fair minded people of Day county de-
sire to punish political infamy."
The total vote of Marshall county
in 1904 was 2O62 and the total vote of
Day was PITT, yet Day nominated five
out of the six legislative members,
taking both senators and three house
members, leaving one house member
for Marshall. 1t was this barefaced
political treachery that has aroused
the people of Marshall county as they
never have been before.
Col. McDougall isnot inclined to
be radical under ordinary circum-
stances, but the good old honest
scotch blood that belongs to the Clan
McDougall is now thoroughly aroused
and he is determined that the Day
county political highwaymen are
made to feel the vengeance of an OUT
ragged people.
The revolt in Day county is assum-
ing such proportions that the ring

Col. J. M. Greene of Chamberlain,

over the Black Hills limited after
hearing Col. Bryan at Sioux Falls.
The Colonel was accompanied by Eli

any of the new wrinkles in South Da-

Don't be a Truant.

You ought to go to school. my boy,

The race on life's great thoroughfare
Admits of no delays
The world will shortly want to know
What you have been about,
And that truant Enn will get you
Ifyou don't watch out.
So rise up with the lark, my boy.
Start early in the race.
Move forward with determined step,
Assert your rightful place;
Go bravely on when duty calls
With heart that's light but stout,
For that truant man will get you
II you don't watch out.
In these progressive days, my boy,
You cannot we'll afford
To loiter, for the scholars pen
Is stronger than the sword.
So learn your lessons, learn them we'll,
Put ignorance to rout,
For that truant man will get you
II you don't watch out.
To take your part and play 1t we'll,

So work with diligence and win,
Let nothing interfere.

For that truant man will get you

Nor ever lag behind;
Support the truth with manly strength,
BE courteous and kind.

Without fear or doubt.
For that truant man will get you

When you have grown to mans estate
It pays the best you'll find,
On others virtues not to frown
And to their faults be blind.
To principles Of golden worth.
Be faithful and devout.
Then the truant man WON'T get you
