Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-12-27

Sioux Falls Press: Reports from
Washington indicate that the new
South Dakota congressman, Messrs.
Parker and Hall, are getting into the
harness in fine shape. Mr.. Hall has,
up to date, introduced several impor-
tant bills in the house, among them
being one placing all lumber on the
free list, and one regulating the set
tlement Of accounts between the
United States and the several states
relative to the disposition of public
lands. Mr.. Hall has also introduced
two bills for public buildings in South
Dakota, one at Brookings and the
other at Huron, each carrying an ap-
preparation OF 100000 Mr.. Parker
has introduced bill providing for
pensions to widows and minor children
of soldiers and sailors who served dur
ing the war of the rebellion. This
bill, If passed, will increase the pen
sion rate Of widows from SO to $12 pei
month. On arriving at the age of 10
the widow will get SIS per month, and
at IS the rate will be raised to $50.

Its Significance.

On Friday afternoon last, in this
city, there was partially perfected an
organization of the progressive repub-
licans of Minnehaha county.
A large number Of the most influen-
tial republicans in this city and coun-
ty, outside of Sioux Falls, have con-
cluded that what is best for South Da-
kota in general is best for Sioux Falls
and this county In particular, and with
a view Of accomplishing what is best,
have decided to enter the political
arena and strive to the uttermost to
Danish forever the blighting influences
of railroad machine politics.
That,the United States senator who
makes Sioux Falls his home must
stand in the forefront of the impend-
ing battle and receive the shafts which
will be aimed at the set of principles
which he represents, is his misfortune
and not the fault of those who differ
with him.
If Mr.. Kittredge and his party have
come to the parting of the ways, he
knows, better than any other man in
this state, why.
The people of South Dakota have
discovered something which, he must
have known for many years and that
is, that he has an alliance with those
political forces which do not consider
the welfare OF the common people their
first interest. There is nothing to waf
rant belief that he has any disposi-
/ ltion or. inclination to sever that ALI

GETTING THE BOY INTERESTED.
Every Monday after breakfast father
and mother sat down for half an hour
and planned the work for the week
with my brothers and myself. We
stood up little straighter and taller,
and felt that we were an important
part of that business.

leaves the body, is an appreci-
able loss in the bodily weight which
cannot be accounted for by any scien-
titic deductions dealing with known
physical data.
Preparatory to the tests, the doc
tors arranged a bed for dying patients
on scales so carefully balanced that
the slightest deviation became at
once apparent. The experiments
covered several cases, including both
men and women, and in every in
stance the result was practically the
same, showing loss In weight Of
from one-half ounce to an ounce, with
in few seconds after the cessation Of
physical life. 1t was noted as an in
teresting incident that while general
ly this change occurred Immediately
after the heart had ceased to beat, in
the case Of a phlegmatic man, slow of
thought and action, the change was
delayed full minute after apparent
death. The observations and notes
were made by the physicians separate
ly, but careful comparison showed
them to be in substantial accord, and
all attempts to disprove the sound
ness Of their conclusions have failed
to change the result. In connection
with these experiments tests were al
so made with the lower animals,
principally dogs, the result in those
cases being that no deviation Of the
scales was perceptible when the life
departed.
While these experiments are not
considered conclusive by scientists,
they have very naturally aroused
much interest among psychologists
and the general public.

wolgemuth for Roosevelt.

General Wolgemuth Of Mitchell was
in the city Monday on business. In
a brief interview he said: II admire
the stand the LEADER has taken in
the presidential question so far as
President Roosevelt is concerned He
is the only republican in sight who
has the united support of the people
in this state. 1 have heard many
prominent democrats declare that
they will vote for him If nominated,
while on the other hand l have also
heard many republicans declare that
if President Roosevelt is not NOM
mated they will vote fpr Bryan. l
am giving you this as hear it, and l
travel all over the state.
Your article in last weeks LEADER
favoring the denomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt meets my hearty APP
proval, because honestly believe he
is the only man in sight who can
carry the republican banner to vic
tory in 1908. The people Of the ma
tion love and trust him and believe
he is the only man who can carry out
the great reform measures demanded
by the peolpe. There are many other
Heminent republicans fit for presiden-
tial timber but they lack the conf
dence of the people, and confidence in
the man is the essential qualification
necessary to success in the coming
struggle.
1 Ibelieve the denomination Of Pres
ident Roosevelt is necessary to the
continued financial and Commercial
prosperity Of the nation, and If the
National Republican convention de-
mands his services he cannot refuse.
South Dakota should stand solid
for Roosevelt without regard to what
the president has said. II South Da-
kota wins out it will be a great and
glorious victory; if she fails she will
have supported the best man In the
county for the office. If the people
want Roosevelt they know how to get
him." and the General smiled as he
lit fresh cigar.

Hampton Roads Virginia is famous
as naval anchorage in times of peace
as we'll as in times Of war. The writ
er saw Gen. Ben Buffers big fleet
sail out of the Virginia capes for the
capture of Fort Hatteras, and also
witnessed the great fleet OF warships
and army transports leave Hampton
Roads for the capture Of New Orleans,
and saw the Monitor and Merrimac
contend for supremacy over the same
waters where Admiral Evans fleet
was anchored before starting for the
Pacific. The little Monitor and Mer-
rimac were the first iron clad fighters
but the fleet of Admiral Evans are
giants in comparison, and it is need
less to say that the writer would have
enjoyed seeing the last fleet sail away
from Fortress Monroe.

SCIENTIFIC IMMORTALITY. I
Soul Did Not Begin With Us and
Cannot End, Says Sir Oliver
Lodge.

Sir Oliver Lodge, the we'll known
scientist, has delivered another Strik-
ing religio-scientific pronouncement
Of the kind with which he has stirred
up controversy in the past. address
sing meeting in connection with the
Hackney Theological college on the
subject of the Immortality of the soul,
he said the first simple, important
truth that must be insisted upon was
the commonplace fact that there is
nothing immortal or persistent about
the body except the material atoms of
which it is composed.
Any notion that these atoms would
some day be regathered and reunited
so that the spiritual and material
combined would reconstitute COM
plete man as he appeared on earth,
end who thereafter would last for
n er, was a pagan superstition, not
that it was unfortu-
nately taught by at least one great
branch Of the Christian church.
Christianity he added, emphasizes
the material aspect of religion, it's be-
lief in bodily resurrection being based
on the idea that every real existence
must have double aspect. Hence it
supplemented the idea of the survival
of the discarnate spirit as a homeless
wanderer or melancholy ghost, with
the warm comfortable clothing of
something that could legitimately be
described as body.
Having thus disposed of the theory
of reincarnation, Sir Oliver dwelt up
on human ignorance respecting the
controlling entity called life, soul and
other names. Nobody knew what it
was, but common sense rebelled
against it being nothing. No genuine
science had presumed to declare it a
purely imaginary nonentity.
No really existing thing perished.
1t only changed It's form. Science
showed this clearly ennngh nnncesRa

Clarence and Gwendoline were duly

There were two prizes offered and

Sewing Hints Considered Valuable by
Woman's Life.

Metal eyes which protrude beyond
th9 edge of the material, where a
hook and eye fastening is employed,
should always be carefully and neatly
covered with buttonhole stitching,
says Womans Life.
Needles should never be kept In
flanDel-lined needlebooks, as sulphur
often enters into the composition of
this material. Sulphur invariably rusts
the needles in time.
Bent pieces Of whalebone can be
strengthened by being placed in cold
water for two or three hours. This
will make them pliable. They should
then be pressed under heavy weight.
When making a skirt, it is always
best to try it on the first time on the
wrong side, then reverse 1t and finish
1t on the right side.
