the General Conference next wear.
Rev. DR.. George Stanstield, pastor
of the Methodist church, gives the
true statement OF that cocktail In
cident. The vice pesident was
present at a dinner party where
cocktails were served, and of which
he had no knowledge, says the pa tor,
and further, thai when the cocktails
were served the vice president did
not touch his-in fact he is a total
abstainer. The menu appeared
printed in a daily paper and a pro
hibition paper ..iu Indianapolis got
hold OF 1T and turned its bat,eres
on the inoffending vice PRESIDENT.
Rev. Mr.. stansfield deeply depIor,s
the incident and criticises the good
taste of the prohibition paper in
keeping up such a fuss over nothing.
Mr.. Fairbanks has been a member of
the Indianapolis Methodist church
or four yeats and a trustee much
longer, and In its pastor he has IA
very strong champion. The south
Dakota Methodists do not take any
stock In the incident, and had no
hesitancy in inviting the vice pfesi-
dent to come to this state-and South
Dakota and Methodism is highly
honored by having him within our
borders.

THE FARMERS INTERESTED

That the farmers are interested at
this early day In the presidential
candidates is evidenced by a contri-
button from G. FL. Parrett. a farmer
living over In the vicinity of Mt.
Vernon, who contributed the follow
Ing interesting letter to the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader:
"We have been noting comments of
the Areus-Leader on the many points
brought up on the question Of or
sganizing republican clubs through
out the state, and especially as to
Roosevelt-T Taft clubs. Now I want
TO attempt to explain how l look
ct this question. l believe there is
not an honest straight republican In
the state who would not like to see
Theodore Roosevelt again president

not one who would not do all in an
honorable way to gain this end, but

not have the nomination again,

also expressed his wishes that it
would be useless to again bring up
his name.

HAS v IT away

Taft has been presented to the
insurgents as a second choice for the
presidential nomination, they have
generally SHE'D at it, ana an ominous
silence has prevailed. 1t simply goes
to slow that they have other plass
In secret which they propose to put
into execution should the president
still adhere to his statement that he
will not be a candidate for the
second time. a suspicion, which
has been we'll founded that the in
surgents were really in sympathy
with Senator LaFollette for the
nomination, has been confirmed by
a o outspoken insurgent.
Judge Nicholson, OF Codington
county, evidently wants the people
of the state to know where he stands
on the second choice for a presi-
DENTAL nomination, and he is tut
uttering The unspoken sentiment Of
three-fourths of the Others. Recently
Judge Nicholson contributed an
article to the Watertown Public
IOpin IN, In which be offered some
comment on the recent letter of
Hon. e. W. Martin, in the course Of
which The Judge made the following
statement:
"While IL is recommended by Mr..
Martin that Rooseyelt-Taft clubs be
organized In every county in the
state, / would recommend that
Rocsevelt-La Toilette republican
clubs be organized as we'll, and let
the republicans of the state fight 1T
out on that line at the next state
primary election, and /, for one,
believe that Senator La Toilette on
q square deal issue at the polls can
get two votes to Secretary Taft's
one. Notwithstanding Mr.. Martins
wishes to the contrary"
There is the situation plainly
stated and confirms dll that has
been said by any Of the stalwart
newspapers of the state. The sup
position has heen that the insurgents
we're for the support of President
Roosevelt and his principles. The
principles of the president are greater
than himself. and III he declines to
again become a candidate for the
nomination, it seems like his sup
porters ought to be willing to endorse
a mar who Is in hearty sympathy
with all that the president has uader-
taken. 1t Is evident, too, that the
only nan who can be relied upon to
do that work is the man In whom
President Roosevelt has displayed
the greatest confidence Secretary
Taft.
The insurgents can show their
greatest faith in the president by
accepting Secretary Taft for their
second cnoice. There is no question
but what the entire country Is in
hearty accord Do the proposition
for the president 70 take tho
nomination for the second time,
And further, they are In hearty
accord to have the principles of the
administration carried forward to a
successful end, which cannot be
done in a short time. To endorse
any other man than Secretary Taft
would be a reflection on the good
feeling exhibited toward the presi-
dent. II the Insurgents are really
sincere in their fealty to the presi-
dent they have no reason for hestitat.
Ing from endorsing Secretary Taft.

INTERESTING PAPER.
Miss Martha johnson Discusses Musi,
Before Los Angeles Convention.

Miss Martha Johnson. director OF physi-
cal education in the Salt Lake public
schools, read paper before the N. Il, A.

Popular Us the use Of music is in the
gymnasium III TINS country, II Is still
mooted question among our educators
whether OF NOT we are justllied in its
extensive use. The Germans use IL to
some extent, the Swedes very little. and
We almost entirely. Are we dong right?
Physical education has two great OBJ
Jects TO be attained: First the stlmula-

body, circulation, respiration and diges-
ton: second, the correction of posture.

muscular tone. The correction of pos

contracted breast and prOtruuing abd0-
men. Hence, II We are to correct erro-
neous posture we must first Increase
body.
BY experiment it has been proven
that the effects OF music upon bodily
movements are.
1-Sound made simultaneously with a
movement increases the muscular con-
traction.
2-Intensity OF sound Strengthens
contractio
S--Higher the pitch The stronger the
contraction,
4--Strength of contraction Is affected
by music-major stimulates, minor de-
presses.
Point of fatigue is postponed.
G-Steadiness of contraction suffers,
Since music Strengthens and hence
stimulates the nutrition 1t is a help. But
II is a psychic law that the mind can
focus its attention upon but one thing at
n time When music Is used the atten-
tion is averted from the form OF eNecu-
ton to the time element. Hence when
posture Is to be obtained music is
hindrance. But when correct form has
been mastered so that It becomes second
nature. music again is OF value as a.
stimulus Therefore an inte'lig"rt uee NJ
music with physical education Is bene-
fetal. but It's absolute continuance is
harmful.
