Injunction Denied.

Judge Jones was down from Sioux
Falls Tuesday morning to hear argu-
ments regarding the application OF
people living south Of the track to re-
strain the Milwaukee company from
building the depot. The decision
was that the plaintiffs had not shown
that they would suffer any different
or other damages than the general
public would suffer by vacating the
street. The decision covers the
whole question and holds that the
property holders south of the track
cannot stop the building OF the depot.
The Injunction proceedings was
argued by A, r. Brown and A. Brady
Beck, while Fred T. Cuthbert had
charge OF the matter for the plain
tiffs. The city was no party to the
case and the city attorney took no
part In the argument.

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-09-13

The Sioux Falls Argus Leader, a
machine corporation paper Of the
ultra class, is engaged In a secret con-
spiracy with the leaders Of the old
Kittredge machine to betray the re-
publicans OF this state by pretending
friendship for Taft and through this
treachery land a delegation for any
anti-reform candidate Mr.. Kittredge
and the railroads might name. This
Is no secret but the Argus Leader Is
covering the movement under the
most brazen falsehoods known to dis
reputable politicians. It's bitterness
towards the President crops out when
his denomination is mentioned, be-
cause the Presidents magnificent
battle for reform helped In no small
degree to sweep the old corporation
machine from power in this state,
aad any reference to Roosevelt and
reform draws fire from the bush
whackers.
We reprint the following item from
the Argus Leader to show how 1t
treats the question of denomination:
"Col. Linn of the Canton Leader is
going to renominate President Roose-
proves that Col. Linn doesn't know
very much about Roosevelt"
The editor OF the Canton Leader
has the pleasure Of a personal acquain-
lance with the President and knew
him before he became President, but
that has nothing to do with the ques.
tfon under discussion. President
Roosevelt said in 1904 that he would
not be a candidate for another term
and we believe he is not now a candi.
date before the next national conven-
ton. On this there is no dispute,
but President Roosevelt cannot pre-
vent the people from harboring a de-
sire that means SO much for the well
fare OF the nation, and there a be
no dispute on this point either.
President Roose yelt has been nom
inated and elected but once. notwith-
standing the third term howl Of those
WHO ueSlre 10 see HlTD OUT OIL once,
and the class OF people who de-
sire to see him defeated for a
second term is composed of men who
have violated the laws in one form OF
another. No man who loves his coun.
try and its prosperity and progress is
oppOsed TO the President. All men
who love justice and fair play desire
to see him rennminated and this sent.
iment is nation wide. There are
many brilliant statesmen in this
broad land but we defy any man To
name n who could complete the
great work he has undertaken so well
and SO easily as he can
There has been no time In the his
tory Of this nation when SO much de-
pended upon the denomination of any
man for the presidency with only one
exception, perhaps, and that was the
denomination Of Abraham Lincoln In
1864 which assured the country as
we'll rs the army that the war for the
Union would be settled right.
The eyes OF the world watched that

ITO Renominate President Roosevelt
|Roosevelt's denomination in 1908 as Necessary for the
Welfare of the Country as Was Lin
coins in 1864.

mighty struggle for human liberty
and human rights, and the renomina-
ton OF Abraham Lincoln In that fate
full period Of our history insured his
election, and with that came conf
dence and ass urance that there would
be no compromise with treason. The
boys In blue stood behind President
Lincoln just as the people are stand
ing behind President Roosevelt today.
The denomination of President Lin
coin meant that the great issues for
which millions of men we're ready to
die, should be fought out until liberty
and equality was written anew over
every star In u glorious banner.
The denomination of Presidnet
Roosevelt means as much to the ma
ton today as the denomination Of Mr..
Lincoln In 1884. There may have been
another great man, perhaps, who
might have stood all powerful be-
tween the %contending elements and
raised his hat to the victor at Apo
mattox, but there was no other man
in the nation in whom the army had
such sublime confidence as Mr.. Lin
coin, and his defeat for a renomina-
tion at that time would have destroy
ed confidence In ultimate victory and
disorganized the army, and the writer
knows what he Is talking about.
There is no civil war troubling our
country today, but there is an indus
trial conflict that effects all and it's
proper adjustment is demanded by
ninety million people, hepce the re-
nomination Of President Roosevelt in
1908 would give assurance to the mil
lions OF toilers that his battle for
equality and justice was to be settled
right and that the enemies of a peo-
pies government must surrender
their blighting grip on the commercial
life OF the nation just as the slave
holders were forced to lay down their
arms.
History tells the present generation
why Mr.. Lincoln's denomination was
imperative in 1864, and the people to-
E
day know why the denomination Of
! President Roosevelt is demanded by
all who love prosperity and a peaceful
solution OF conditions that threaten
to fasten Industrial slavery upon
this great nation. This Is a broad
and sweeping charge. but what con-
dition would our boosted industrial
freedom have been In even today, had
not our brave hearted President
: raised the standard of reform, and
none are so blind or SO ignorant who
have not read the story In congress
and in the courts.
The nation demands the renOmina-
tion Of President Roosevelt In 1908 as
much as our bleeding country de-
manded the denomination Of Presi-
dent Lincoln in 1864 and that is the
reason "Col. Linn OF the Canton Lead
er is going to renominate President
Roosevelt without consulting him."
and the Canton Leader is a thousand
times happy In the contemplation of
such q glorious victory.

Canton has waited for years for the
erection of a new depot and the
brightest hopes OF our people are tc
pbe realized In the erection Of a large
modern building 200 feet Ia length
with every modern Improvement in
cluding steam heat. The writer
looked over the plans the other day
and was much gratiied to note the
accommodations provided for the tray
cling public. The ladies waiting room,
32x23, will be In the west end and the
gentlemens smoking room is separat-
ed from the ladies room by the ticket
Office and telegraph room. East OF
the smoking room comes the lunch
room and then a large pavilion rooted
with brick fionr. This rooted pavil-
Ion connects the baggage and express
rooms and express Office with the
main building. A fifteen foot brick
walk surrounds the entire structure.
It was not expected that the a
tion of Dakota street, at the crossing.
would pass without protest, but it
was not expected that any One would
attempt to delay the construction of
the depot when it was guaranteed
that there would be ample room for
people to pass across the rails as here
tofore. and that crossing will be as
open In ~the@futnre as In the past.
1t will not be no greater hardship for
teams to go one block west south Of
the track than one block west north
of the track, and nine tenths travel
from the old depot goes west as far as
Lincoln avenue and north to the Ru-|
dolph, but nearly all travel Is west.
No man likes to have a railroad run
through his farm OF close to his house
in town or country, but railroads have
to run somewhere and the man who
happens to be too close must make
the best OF it. Railroads are a public
necessity and the public must grant
them room to do business. The
amount OF business transacted by
the Milwaukee in Canton requires
room and lots of it and the people are
ready to give them every facility re-
quired for a new depot ard a round
house and division headquarters In
the near future, and we believe the
company will spend 300, 600 beforet
completing the improvements now
started and other Improvements nee
essary to round out the program con-
Htemplated which also includes new
