Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-01-25

Your intereSu.s are Identical with
those of the merchants of your town.
BY sending your dollars to the city
you may cause the merchants to close
their establishments, but when they
are forced to this they can pack their
stock of goods and go elsewhere but
you cannot pack up your farm and
move it; your acres must lie in the
bed you have builded for them whether
it be fair or foul and it is up to you"
Mr.. Farmer, to spend your money at
home, and in this way you can solve
the greatest problem that now con-
fronts this country.
Will you do it?

WHAT PARTS OF AMERICA
DID NORTAMEN DISCOVER?
Prot. Olson Rejects the Belief
that "Vinland" OF the Saga OF
Eric the Red Was Massa-
chuSetts More Likely
to Have Been Nova
Scotia.

The widely accepted belief that the
Morse explorers of the close of the
tenth century and the beginning OF
the eleventh were the real discoveries
of the United States is passing into
the category Of the has beens. Morse
men in America are likely to have to
contine their pride in the early vent
ures of their hardy race on this side
Of the Atlantic to the fact that such
Adventures were the discovers of
America, but not of that part now
within the boundaries of the United
States. This would seem to be glory
enough for the old NOrsemen, and
whether it is enough to suit the mod
ern hero worshipers or not, it is like
ly to be all that modern relentless
scholarship will grant then.
An evidence of this attitude of mod
ern scholarship is found in 1.-THE
Mortimer and Columbus" the first
Of a series of ''Original Narratives Of
Early American History" approved
and adopted by the American His
torical association. The book con-
tains the Saga of Eric the Red, the
Vinland History Of the Flat Island
Book and other records of the time
relating to the explorations of the
Northmen. These records are edited
by Julius e. Olson, professor of Scan
dinavian languages and literature in
the University of Wisconsin, who, by
inference, at least, approves the be-
lief that Left Erickson and those of
his race and time did not see the New
England coast at all.
Professor Olson in scholarly intro
duction to his portion of the nara
tives, in speaking of the Identification
of the land visited by the Northmen,
says with implied Approval:
"Dr. Storm, however, has gone into
the subject and is convinced that Hell
luland, Markland and Vinland of the
of the sagas are Labrador, Newfound-
land and Nova Scotia"
This is in direct contradictions
many school histories, which hold
that Vinland was the name given by
the Morse discoverers to what are now
parts of Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts; also of more pretentioas
works, such as 1.-THE History of North
America" edited by Guy Carleton
Lee, the first volume Of which is the
work of Alfred Britain who says:
1.-THE regions called Helluland,
Markland and Vinland were success

Prophetic Retort.

From Leslies Weekly.
Like his predecessor, the late A. j..
Cassatt, James McCrea, the new head Of
the Pennsylvania railroad, has worked
his way up through most of the grades
in the railway service.
Mr. MeCrea is a big man physically as
well as mentally. He is six feet two
inches tall, and has an athletic figure,
carrying his two hundred pounds graceful
ly. His conversation Is direct and forci-
BILE and not devoid of humor. He is a
hard worker, but finds time for relaxa-
ton, his chief amusements being golf ana
billiards. He is fifty-seven years old.
1t is understood that his policy will
differ in no essential particulars from
that laid down by Mr.. Cassatt, who is
said to have had him in view as his sue
cessor. The friendship of the two men
dated from the time when they were
surveyors in the field. Meeting Cassalt
one day, the young McCrea jokingly said:
Alex, when I'm president of the road
I'll have rodmen like YOU" "Tirnunv y
Cassatt renIisd, "ie the rodmen were
like you there wouldn't be any road to
be president Of" More than forty years
afterward, when Mr.. McCrea was made
manager of the Pennsylvania lines west
of Pittsburg, Mr.. Cassatt telegraphed
him: Jimmy McCrea: If you had held
the rod there wouldn't be any office for
you to fill out there" And Mr.. McCrea
answered: SANDY Cassatt: They must
have given you that post you're holding
in self-defense,"
