Secretary Of War Taft loaned him
self to the Sioux Falls machine and
corporation boss to help insult the
leaders OF the republican party In this
state and In such a manner as to
stamp Mr.. Taft a mar unworthy to
wear presidential honors. Taft is no
fool, yet through stupidity or design
he became a party to Kittredge's in
snlting program and it Is more than
likely the republicans Of the state
will resent the insult. Mr.. Taft suits
the machine very well because they
have q hope that they may be able to
steal the state by the use of his name
and then hand 1t to some candidate
who is opposed to Roosevelt's policies.
This is the machine program. Kit
and his SOcalled stalwarts have no use
for Taft or anyone who may honestly
represent the President, but Taft was
like a straw to the drowning mariner,
and the drowning mariner wasn't
big enough with all his cloth, or
shrewd enough to use the Taft straw
to any good advantage for himself, but
he did manage to force Governor
Crawford out onto the firing line In
the senatorial race and from this
time forward the lines will begin to
indicate whether our people want a
Roose veltian policy of progress, justice
and q square deal or a backward policy
OF surrender to the greedy, %grasping,
robbing monopolies including the cor
pOrations. There Is no middle ground
In the coming struggle. You must
stand for the people and their welfare
or against the people.

AN EXPENSIVE BOOZE BLOWOUT
Train Which Closed Before
Justice Hawn in Canton.

n couple OF husky dFEneT WHO live
in the north part of the county at
tended Pawnee Bill's Wild West at
Sioux Falls Monday and got enough
"Wild Vest under their jackets to
make them believe that every man in
the smoker, coming home Monday
evening. was an Indian that needed
pounding. The Lincoln county Wild
West heroes opened the battle with a
whoopee 500 after leaving Sioux
Falls, and began punching every head
that didn't own running legs. The
unboozing heroes became somewhat
demoralized and began to retreat into
the coaches filled with women and
children and a small sized panic en-
sued. Some of the ladies and children
thought they were about to be killed
when Judge Kennedy, who had sever
al children in charge, went forward
into the smoker and found the Lin
coin county wild westers whooping
it up In frontier style.
The Judge grabbed an arm that
was about to knock a hole through a
Norwegian who was unable to talk
English, and things assumed a more
warlike aspect instantly. The Judge
proclaimed the man under arrest but
that didn't stop his desire for blood
because he whaled away at the Judge
who lodged the catapult and then
gave the fighter a heel and the trip
which landed him in a seat where he
made a desperate effort to give the
Judge a knockout. The young Nor
wegian giant got hot after the other
lighter gave him a belt or two, and
he came to the Judges assistance.
Then the son of Norway turned on
the fellow who hit him and he laid
the wild west hero low.
Things were decidedly warlike at
this stage of the game with Judge
Kennedy and the son Of Norway in
possession Of the battle field with all
noa=combatants under seats. Then
came the conductor and brakeman
and the Judge told the conductor to
arrest the implanted warriors which
he did with some misgivings as to au-
thority. "Your uniform" said the
Judge to the conductor, sis ample au-
thority-"
The much subdued warriors got of
at Harrisburg and on Tuesday Sheriff
Opsal brought them before Justice
Hawn in this city who fined Mat
Slack and F. Hill S75 each with costs
attached, amounting to ss2 for each
warrior, which fines were paid and
the episode was closed.
Tom Collins, AIDE johnson, Alb
Tucker, Col. Cuppett and several
others who expect to visit the Bar
num-Bailey show declare they will
return to Canton in the quiet Sc
clusion OF a sleeper rather than take
any chances in a smoker.
Judge Kennedy is receiving many
congratulations for the courage dis
played in bringing the war to settle
ment before Justice Hawn, and the
o of Norway says he will lick both
of these fellows some day.

1t has been demonstrated that our
Government is overstepping the matter
in their control of the Railroads. The
Inter State Commerce Commission
made a rule of no parties less than Is
should be granted a reduced rate of
fare and the crowds of harvest hands
this State used to get from Illinois,
Indiana and Missouri are this year cut
off for at no towns can they congregate
more than or who want to come,
and they can't afford to pay full fare.
So we are getting none of those ex-
perienced farmers and SO serious has
the scarcity become that Gov. Hoch,
Senator Curtis and Agent Gerow have
wired to Washington the situation and
asked modification of the ruling, to
let them come in parties of on one

One of the meanest things about the
wheat harvest, and equally true of
other stacked grain, is tying down the
stacks. Generally rocks have to be
provided and often stray one left on
the field for the header to catch the
next year, or the drill in the fall. A
subscriber tells US of his excellent de-
vice. He has IL foot one-half inch
iron rod with an eye like 4 needle, in
one end. He threads it with wire or
binding cord, runs through the stack
three fourth down, pull through with
the wire, and the wire then carried over
the stack and tied to the piece in the
stack. Thus you can run through as
many tie pieces as you desire, the one
rod doing the work. AS the stack
settles the wire can be tied tighter,
and with it no danger of the stack
blowing over, and no rock to handle.

FRIENDS!

co. S. Marden in Success Magazine. y
Just think of what it means to have
enthusiastic friends always looking out
for our interests, working for us all
the time saying a good word for US at
every opportunity, supporting us,
speaking for US in our absence when
we need friend, shielding our sensitive
weak spots, stopping ISLANDERS, killing
lies which would injure US, correcting
false impressions, trying to set US
right, overcoming the prejudices Great
ed by mistake or slip or first bad inn
preston we made in some silly moment
who are always doing something to
give us lift or help us along!
What sorry figures many of use
would cut but for our friends!
Many of us would have been very
much poorer financially, too, but for
the hosts of friends who have sent us
customers and clients and business;
who have always turned our way
everything they could.
Oh, what boon our friends are to
our weaknesses, our IdloSyncraSleS anO
shortcomings Aour failures generally
How they throw mantle of charity
over our faults and cover up our
defectsl Was there ever such capital
for starting in business for oneself as
plenty of friends? How many people
who are now successful, would have
given up the struggle in some great
crisis of their lives but for the en-
couragement of some friend which has
tided them over the critical place! How
barren and lean our lives would be if
stripped of all that our friends have
done for usI
The 3'E2EE PRESS" feels very proud
of its friends and subscribers who have
stayed with US for Is to "a years, for
we find names on our list who took our
first issue in the campaign of 1882 and
who have never missed copy, paid us
$50 toward keeping up the good work
of booming our town, our county, our
friends and giving them all the news for
20 long years, evesv week prompt and
always TO be depended upon.
