The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1907-10-17

A Doctor Of Divinity, now Editor Of
well-known Religious paper, has
writton regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Relig
ious Press Of the Country and others,
including ourselves. Also regarding
suits for libel brought by Golfers
against US for commenting upon its
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
The religious Press owes you a
debt Of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
'SYell-Oh Man" Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the boo

FELL SHORT OF REPUTATION.
How rhllanthrspist Peabody Was
Judged by Irish Fishcrmen.

A good story of John Bright and Pea
body. the philanthrOplst, is recalled by
Justice Johnson's interesting reference
to the former in his charge to the jury
At Limerick in the action of William
O'Brlen, VI" L. The judge pointed out
that It was to Bright, who came fire.
Quently to Ireland to fish ut Castlecon-
nell, near Limerick. that they owed the
Initiation of the action to buy land in
Ireland fer the tenants. On these oc-
casions the great tribune was always
accompanied by George Peabody.
One day they went n couple OF miles
up the Shannon between Castleconnell
and Kallaloe. They had engaged the
services of two boatmen and as Bright
and Peabody were keen anglers they
made long day of it.
On returning in the evening Bright,
noticing a policeman on the river bank,
asked what sum- the boatmen were en-
ittted to for their time. The constable
said anything from seven and sixpence
o ten shillings. Bright turned to his
companion, saying: II have no change,
Peabody have you three half crowns?"
The millionaire produced the ceins
and gave thcm to one OF the boatmen.

me?"

FAILS TO RESCUE BOY.
Ch:;d EUrncd to Death in Earn in Ly
man County.

Mrs. James Pilker, who with her
husband resides on a homestead in
the southern part of Lyman county,
proved herself a heroine in an attempt
to rescue her little son from a burn
ing, barn, but her efforts were un-
successful.
The little boy, Jesse, aged 3, with
two older children, had been playing
in the barn by sliding from the top
Of a large quantity Of hay to the floor.
Becoming tired of the pastime. the
two older children left the barn and
were nearby when they discovered
that the building was on fire. Hurry
ing to the doorway, they called on
their little brother to come out, but
he failed to appear.
The mother, hearing the cries, rush.
ed to the barn and made repeated ef-
forts to enter the door and rescue
her little one. but each time the flames
and thick volumes Of smoke drove her
back. Utterly exhausted, she finally
was compelled to abandon her efforts.
Men soon arrived on the scene from
neighbOring homesteads, but were un-
able to save the building or rescue
the little boy, whose body afterwards
was recovered.
1t is supposed that he had some
matches in his possession and himself
set fire to the hay in the barn, and
then. becoming frightened, tried tc
crawl back in the hay and hide.

by its own policy and methods, has
not made itself more ridiculous than
any comment Of ours could make 1t.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-inficted loss of prestige by demon
, strating thru suits for damages, that it
can be more artful in evading liability
for libels than the humble but resentful
victims Of its defamation, or does 1t
hope by starting campaign OF libel
suits to silence the popular indigna-
ton, reproach and resentment which 1t
has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
| controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public Judgment
against it. That great Jury, the Pub
lie, will hardly blame us for not wait

F1sH-HARRIMAN CONTENTION.
Legal Arguments Continued in Eff.
fort for I. c. Control.

CHICAGO, December 16-The legal ar
guments in the case of Stuyvesant Fish
against Edward Fl. Hartman involving
the matter of voting certain shares OF
stock at the postponed annual meeting OF
the stockholders of the Illinois Central
Railroad Company were continued today
before Judge Ball in the superior court.
Edgar II. Farrar, counsel for Mr..
Fish. devoted his attention particularly to
the Railroad Securities Company of New
Jersey, which holds the stock Mr.. Harri-
man wants to vote. Mr.. Farrar urged
that the charter of the corporation con-
tains the power and germs of monopoly
IN its worst form.
II Is not, he said. confined like the
Northern Securities Company to the con-
troll OF two corporations, but spreads its
wings over every state and territory in
the Union. He contended that such a
corporation could not come into Illinois
and own and vote stocks in the public
service corporations OF this state. since
TO do so would be in conflict with the
public policy laws of the state. Mr..
Farrar had eighty-four law books on the
table near him and he quoted literally
from these volumes.

CHELSEA. Mich, December, 16.-State
Treasurer Frank P. Glazier. whose failure
three weeks ago involved 1856. 600 Of state
funds, is critically ILL.,. and physicians are
unable to rouse him from comatoss
condition.
At the time that his financial dificul-
ties were disclosed Mr. Glazier was sick
at his home here and was not able to at
tend any of the meetings Of creditors and
Of state officials who were investigating
his affairs, and it was owing to Mr.
Glaciers illness that Gov. Warner de-
ferred until few days ago the taking up
with him of the question OF his resigpa-
ton as state treasurer
At first 1t was thought MT Glazier was
merely suffering from a severe cold ag-
gravated by anxiety over his financial
troubles. Drs. Holmes and Bush have
been unable to arouse their patient from

heart action, which prevailed all day

between note credits and deposit credits.
These notes cant be made perfectly safe
by a guaranty fund of not over 8 per
cent which would be many n, LINES times me me
notes of failed banks. based On the ex-
periences of forty-four years. There
should be a graduated rate OF taxation
on these notes, beginning with not over
on per cent, and reaching finally to or Z.
The addition or such notes to our sys-
tenn would do much to improve It. but still
1t is not believed that 1t would be as
efficient or as satisfactory in any way as
to have all the credit notes issued by a
central bank Of issue.
The use Of clearing house certificates by
the banks has been found very efficient
means for their defense. and has. on
many occasions. probably prevented
great number of bank failures during
panics, and there is some merit In the
suggestion that the clearing house should
be recognized by law and authorized,
under certain conditions, to issue clear
ing house certificates for use as emer-
gency circulation. ,-. -.- ,.-
Ounce of Prevention.
It is useless to try to evade this aues-
ton or dodge the issue. The need Is far
more for something that will prevent
emergencies and panics than for devices
to be used in stopping one. after it has
occurred The only way to make our
system what it should be is through the
agency Of a national governmental bank.
The expe rience Of all other countries has
demonstrated this Every important COM
mercial country in Europe has adopted
this general plan. II We had had such
a bank in operation in 1907 no such bank
panic as we have had would have been
possible. VI
The installation of a proper central
bank would not only be a great beneht to
all the business of the country and a
great protection to our people, but il
