any need Of Investigating any other
schedules Of the Dingley act. The
facts are so we'll known that there is
no occasion TO delve deep or far for
the truth, and the need for redress Is
SO insistent that delay will simply ag-
gravate the Injustice that Is suffered.
The trust has so hrm grip upon
the paper business that 1t refuses to
make price to consumers for deliv-
cry Of print paper next year, although
there is good reason to expect an ad-
vance Of $40 a ton, on top Of the el2
! a ton that was added during the cur
rent year, or price OF close to $50.
Here is a threatened advance OF over
SO per cent within two years, upon q
price that has been steadily mount
II ing within the past ten years.
There seem to be no bounds to the
greed Of this combination, which has
the paper-consuming industries OF the
country at It's mercy. Like leech,
it will not let go while there is drop
OF blood in its victims body. It IS 4
vampire that must be destroyed by
Legislation and prosecution and punish
ment that should not fall short OF to-
tai annihilation. The whole machin-
cry Of the government, courts, con.
gress and the administration, will be
vain and worthless, if it falls to crush
such a public enemy.

Baracas Play Basket Ball.

The Sioux Falls Baraca basket ball
team came down to Canton last Fri
day evening to play the first game Of
the season with the Canton Baraca
team, and the young gentlemen we're
accompanied by fifteen young ladies'
who came along to cheer their Baraca
players to victory. The game was
played In the armory and the crowd
was both large and enthusiastic. It
was a splendid game but the Sioux
Falls Baracas were veterans and won
by a score Of 20 to IS. 1t was the
first game the Canton team played
hence they lacked the fine team work
of the visitors who are nearly all ex-
perienced players. The Canton team
Is not discouraged by defeat and will
keep on until they overcome the VIC
tors in the Friday night game. Bas-
ket ball is vigorous gam as played
by the boys, and as a muscle develop per
1t can't be surpassed.

Destroy the Saloon and You De-
strOy He'll.

Why should the human race be
longer cursed with legalized rum, the
Of all evils? Man is punished
for crime and yet nine tenths of all
crime originates through human pas
sion fired by alcohol.
A man commits murder when his
brain is inflamed with rum. He is
executed and yet the law will license
the sale of murder, indirectly, it is
true, but the saloon represents power
ty and crime, idleness and suffering,
hungry and ragged children and bro
ken hearted mothers, all this and
more, but the day is not far distant
when the saloon business and the liq-
uor hell will be swept out of every
state in the union.
Let congress wipe out the saloon
evil in Washington, drive it from be-
meath the shadow of the goddess Of
liberty standing proudly on the capi-
tol dome, destroy an evil chat has de-

NATIONAL REFORM NOTES.
Plea For A Wider And Better
Observance OF Thanks
giving Day.

The National Reform Association
has issued a plea for wider. and
more suitable observance Of Thanks
giving Day. 1t argues that the one
day in the year in which we make
general and express acknowledgment
of our dependence as a nation on God.
and the benefit we receive from Him
ought to be marked BY more general
cessation of business, and on the
other hand ought not to be given
over to dissipation or to frivolity. II
suggests that the two most appropri-
ate and most useful ways Of observing
the day are public worship and family
reunions. Thus at once we strengthen
home ties and promote the influence
Of religion. These observances are
most in accord with the traditions of
the day and the proclamations OF our
Governor and President of the United
States.
Pastors and Churches are requested
to arrange for service in the largest
possible number of churches Young
Peoples Societies are requested to ar
range for service, and to assist in dec
Grating the churches, In preparing
the music and distributing gifts to
the poor, and all citizens are urged to
regard church attendance on that day
as not only christian but a patrio-
tic duty, and mark Of good citizen

country that is governed under laws

country that is governed under laws
passed by congress.
Most drunkards when sober pray
for relief from their greatest enemy,
any many are honest in this prayer
while suffering the tortures of the
damned, but with returning health
and strength their appetite lures
them into the old rut, and the temp
ter whispers into the willing ear:
"Just one glass, it won't hurt you,'
and the fatal cup is raised as the dev-
il smiles with pride.
Destroy the saloon and you destroy
hell.
The thirteen hundred million dol
lars spent for rum last year would
have built many nice home and
made thousands of homes happy and
comfortable, and made thousands of
men ~honored and respectable instead
of outcasts. This vast sum of money
how much good it could have done
had it been used for human happiness
Instead of human misery, and many a
man now behind prison bars would
have been enjoying the blessings OF a
happy home had that money gone in
to home life instead Of hell life.
Destroy the saloon and you will put
the devil out of business.

Foot Ban Game.

The Hawarden high school foot ball
team came up to Canton last Friday
to play a return game with the Can
ton high school team. The contest
was spirited from start to finish, but
the Iowa boys failed to carry Oft the
honors as they expected, the score be-
ing Canton II, Hawarden 8.
1t was manly game played with
fairness and satisfaction to all con-
cerned. The sixty yard run Of Carl
Voyen was one Of the features Of the
game. and the touch down by John
Gemmill and the punting by Horace
Ringheim were conspicuous elements
in the victory.
The Hawarden team was nervy In
the first half closing with a score OF 6
to 0, but the Canton boys braced up
under the leadership of Captain Ring
helm and closed the second half with
|a score of IL to O for the Iowa boys.
1t was clean, gentlemanly game and
was greatly enjoyed by the crowd
present.

A Public Enemy.

st Paul Dispatch: 1t Is self-evi-
dent proposition that the tariff duties
ought to be entirely removed from
any article whose production in this
country is monopolized by an illegal
combination.
A law imposing duty upon such
an article simply serves to forge a
chain to oppress the people.
The practical working of a tariff up
on such commodity is illustrated in
the history OF the paper trust, which
controls the wood pulp supply Of this
country. Duties ranging from LIP to
lie of a cent per pound upon wood
pulp have prevented and still pre-
vent the Importation OF the raw ma
terial, and have starved the independ-
ent paper mill out of existence.
Duties upon lumber serve the same
purpose. Under such conditions the
paper trust need fear no rival. In
consequence, the consumers Of paper
have been compelled to pay increas-
ingly extortioEate profits, because
there has been only one dealer In pa
per, in effect, in the United States.
That dealer, the international Paper
Company, transacts business
amounting to s2l. 100000 a year and
has capital stock of $50, 600, 900, two
items that are SO absurdly out Of pro-
portion that water" mildly express
es the initiation of the securities up
on which the American people must
pay tribute.
The duties of SO a ton on print pa
per and $l.62 ton on wood pulp, by
which the com mbination has been fos-
tered, ought to be removed by con-
gress at the earliest possible date.
Such an amendment to the Dingley
act is an Immediate necessity. 50 ur-
gent that it should be attended to
apart from the general subject Of
tariff revision. It should not be de-
layed on account Of any movement
for tariff commission or because OF

him home to his family a wreck.
Laws are made to punish men and
women for committing crime and
why not destroy the greatest crime
breeder in the world? When man
is crazy drunk he is not responsible
for crime he may commit, but the
law permits the man to get crazy
drunk, and then steps in and hangs
him for murder committed when
crazed with liquor the law says he
may buy.
The government might as we'll Ii
cenSe murder as license the sale of
rum. One produces the other. If a
man robs the government when drunk
the government will punish him and
yet the government levies revenue
on the privilege that makes that man
drunk and criminal.
The brutality Of the drunken negro
in the south has done more to wipe
out the whisky evil than all the pro-
hibition orators that ever spoke south
of Mason and Dixon's line. The
drunken negro OF the south was a
daily menace to the life and honor of
every white woman, and the people
while not prohibitionists in training
or desire, threw aside all personal de-
sires and began crusade against
rum that will sweep every state in
the union.
Coming down from Mitchell the
other day there were two coaches
loaded with discharged railroad labor
ers, and it was a sad and sickening
sight to see those poor creatures in
the midst of drunken orgie. Most
of them were dirty and ragged but full
of whisky going home, if they had any,
but going somewhere, fit subjects
for the saloon while their money last
ed and then pauperiSm. These men
would have gone home sober with
plenty of money for their wants dur
ing the winter had the hell Of avarice
and the demon Of greed been destroy
ed in the breasts of those who sell
poison for profit under the protection
and law OF state called a great NOR
al comm unity, filled with churches
and preachers and Godfearing men.
No man can successfully defend the
| rum evil; those who made their mil
lions out Of it defend the traffic like
the pirate who defended his loot laden
bark against law and human rights.
The dispensers of rum are in many
cases creatures of adyersity and neces-
sity and seldom make more than a
living out Of a business now largely
owned and directed by brewers and
/ distillers. The government dorIvcs a
large revenue out Of the business but
that revenue represents the founda-
tion of more crime than all the
other evils the human race has to
contend with. The same amount OF
revenue can be easily raisedNin some
other way-say an income tax.
The LEADER hopes to hear from
South Dakotas contingent in
congress on the question of prohibit.
ing the sale of liquor in the District
of Columbia, a little bit of our great

The Miller Gazette is taking deep
interest in the question Of improved
seed corn and is stirring the Hand
county farmers to renewed efforts in
this direction. The county Institutes
held once a year in each county are
beneficial as far as they go, but the
real work Of arousing proper inter
est among the farmers must come
through the local papers. They can
print something OF interest on the
question Of pure seed each week and
thus keep the farmers interested un-
til they begin to fully realize that
more and better corn can be raised to
the acre than under the old system.
The Miller Gazette Is doing good
work for the farmers in Hand county,
and we hope other papers will tax c
up the subject.
