Give Us Seats.

We can't see any a why there
should be the slightest objection to
putting a dozen or more iron seats In
the court house square. 1t is a posi-
tive disgrace that people can't find a
decent public resting place in the
city. Men. M or children can
go over on the court house square
and lay down or sit down on the
grass, but they are denied seats, what
they most need, and what every other
city in the country provides for its
tired people.
There is nothing sacred about this
court house square, it is owned by
the people, and If the people can find
rest and comfort under the big trees
on a hot afternoon or evening, we feel
satisfied that the County Commits
sioners will be willing to purchase
a. dozen iron seats and give tired
people a chance to sit down. No one
need be alarmed over the idea that
tramps and loafers would monopolize
the seats while women and children
stood up. We have policemen who
could give a move on" order prompt
". There is no place where people
can sit down, unless it is along the
foundation projections of store build
ings, and that is only a last resort for
men. Bro. Pelton borrowed a chair
from somebody the other day and
found a nice shady spot under a big
tree in the square and there read his
letters and papers and laughed with
a Peltonian laugh and seemed happy
and cool, while the. other fellows were
standing around in the sun suffering.
Strap iron seats will last for years.
Each seat will hold four persons and
no vandal knife will mar theil
beauty.
The Leader, in behalf of hundreds
of women and children and old men
respectfully asks the County Commits
sioners to provide a dozen of those
iron seats to begin with. Let us
show the women and babies from the
country that we are mindful of theil
comfort while in town, and that
court houses and court house lawns
will be in evidence long after we Q.
this generation are dead and laid
away. What u people need now is
all the comfort they can reasonably
secure. Future generations can have
spring lounges, rocking chairs and
electric fans, but We Of this genera
ton only ask for a dozen or o iror
seats on which one can rest ant
thank God for the blessings of civil
ization.
The County Commissioners In thus
doing a little to make people comfort
able will find their Kindness ap,
: preciated by a long suffering public.

The recent hot spell was what old

Hon. Thomas Thorson and wife re-
turned from their Minneapolis visit
Sunday. They had a delightful time
during the encampment, and they
visited all the lakes in autos and met
friends everywhere. tt was a de-
lightful outing, though brief.
Judge Clifford says that Prof.
Jacobs OF Lennox, marched with the
Lincoln county veterans at the en-
campment and was considered a gen.
uine mascot. The Professor is about
a young as any OF the veterans and

Albert Hegness and wife and Ed
ward Linde and Miss Enga Ofstad
came over from Beresford Sunday in
their atitos, coming via Worthing.
They took dinner at the Rudolph

Linn for a couple OF hours, after
which they jumped into their handy
little aasess and left for Hume, going
down to Norway, where they met
Claus and Helmer Keynes who were
visiting at the old home.
Newton Menor, one OF the old time
Canton boomers. a veteran and a jolly
good fellow, arrived in Canton Friday
from Minneapolis, where he took in
the encampment and met old Wis
cOnsin friends. Newt said he did not
march and will never march as an ex-
hibit for the curious and commercial
boomers who get the suckers there by
q rate 50 low that a one fare for
round trip is robbery. The poor old
soldiers are used by commercial boom
ers and thus they are marched to suf-
fering and death.
