Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-08-23

We want more; we want extension; we want greater
facilities. We want every opportunity afforded to enable
the people to remove their produce, and we want fair
treatment to those who are engaged in this very necessary
activity.
Yet it is said that, despite the prosperity OF the coun-
try and the great benefits that have been derived from
the extension Of eur transportation facilities, there Is a
state Of unrest; that there is a general condition of dis
content throughout the country. Why? Is it because of
extension Of means of communication? Will any one
suggest to an intelligent audience that American citizens
are in revolt against their own prosperity
What they revolt against is dishonest finance. What

two billion to four billion three hundred million dollars,
an increase of 10 per cent. Meantime the reserves have
been reduced from 10 per cent to Is per cent.
Wages have not gone UP as rapidly as prices have risen,
and therefore an increase in wages should be n:ale. II
people are to purchase goods at rising prices they must
have higher wages. do net say this from any humani-
tartan motive, but from the knowledge Of the cold fact
that If prosperity is to increase We must give some of the
money earned to the common people.
l believe that the old United States bank could be es-
tablished to advantage if 4 new charter like that of the
Bank Of France were conferred upon it. If we cannot
find twelve honest fnanciers for the president to appoint
to manage its affairs, then think we had better have
a panic. If an industrial crisis is on the slate it will, in
all probability, be like that of 1897, from the effects of
which the country recovered almost completely within a
year. The most serious factor in the present situation
Is the loss Of confidence occaSione1 by the break in Wall
street There is a popular impression that Wall street
discounts future events, and that the March panic means
that railroads will be forced to cut dividends within a
year or two.

of the future, and the final triumph of scientific medi-
cine will be the suppression Of disease. In this struggle
with the causes Of disease we need not only the earnest
and united support Of the medical profession in the frens
ranks of this movement but the encouragement and 6nans
cial aid Of the governments, general, state, county, city
and village. A new and much needed specially in medi-
cine should be created-scientihc sanitation. But to ac-
complish our final object in public sanitation means must
be provided for popular instruction in hygiene and SAM
tation in our schools and by popular lectures, in order
to reach the mass of the people, and by deing 50 enlist
their interest and secure their cooperation.

pidty, hence the mechanical piano players, monographs,
etc.
That these machines tend to disseminate knowledge is
unquestionable, but that they bring one into a close touch
with the refining influence Of music which comes with
actual association and study is not quite 50 clear. To
have music at hand is certainly to enjoy it, but to come
into close relationship with each thought and mood Of the
composer is to love it.
There may be many reasons for machine music, but
that does not for a moment alter the fact that this
