Senator Kitt-edge at Canton.

Senator Kittredge arrived in Can
ton last Saturday on the 1890 train
from the south and was met at the
depot by 4 reception committee head
ed by Hon. 0. A. Rudolph and escort
ed to Hotel Rudolph where he was
joined by Canton friends and a large
delegation OF Sioux Falls gentlemen,
headed by Col. Dick Woods and Edi.
tor Day OF the Argus Leader.
A splendid audience assembled in
the Court House at 3 O'Clock to hear
the s'silent" senator. He spoke for
two hours, devoting 20 minutes to
Secretary Taft, about 30 minutes to
his vote on Smoot, the Mormon, 20
minutes to why he refused to support
the nomination of w. G. Bristol, 30
minutes to his own personality in the
campaign, and about % minutes to
the lumber trust, state taxes and
railroad rates.
II was his Mitchell speech all over.
The progressive republicans in the
audience, and there were many of
them, were surprised to hear him
deny that he vas ever a railroad lob
byist, and that he favored~a 2 cent
passenger rate when he has hereto
fore opposed all measures ~efecting
the railroads.
It is not good politics for Senator
Kittredge to come here and deny his
public record among people who have
studied his public record for years.
He made NO converts here, and we be-
lieve his speech was a disappointment
to his friends.
"A rather amusing incident occurred
at the hotel when the senator and
:ssssts.s ether friends SAT down to sup.
per. After they had been discussing
the men for some time Dick Woods
discovered that there were only ID at
their special table, and in evident
alarm over the "13" freak, a railroad
man who was enjoying his evening
meal In peace, was hastily summoned
to the senator's table to burst the Ii
hoodoo. The omen made the boys a
little nervous for a time.

slant when he boldly states such a
bare falsehood? And again, how
many people present believe him
when he said he was a friend OF
President Roose welt? Where was
Kilt when the president was com
PEELED to seek democratic assistance
in carrying out some OF his reform
measures? He was not then a friend
of the president, and only now, like
Taft, seeks to reap a reward from the
seed sown by Roosevelt-the voters
of South Dakota should brand such
false politics so deep that the mark
of their reward would remain for all
time on the face of the good name Of
our fair state.
"In his six years service at Wash
ington Kilt could tell us Of but two
occasions where he was found doing
his duty, and In telling about those
two cases he spent seven eighths OF
his time patting himself on the back
for having simply done his plain duty
nothing more. On one occasion he
says he voted against seating Smoot,
the Mormon senator, and they say /
have violated my oath of Office for SO
doing" said the senator. Who does
he mean In this instance, as in many
others, by stthey?" If we were going
to attack a man. or set of men, from
the platform we believe we would not
be too cowardly to say just who we
meant-don't you, honest voter?
with tears Ia his eyes the senator
told us about chasing about the
streets Of Washington looking for a
chance to do a good turn to his fellow
citizens until myfeet we're blistered'"
sobbed the silent man. We have
been told since, that it was something
else the senator was looking for. = =
= We can answer his whole reform
argument with the question, "why
did he not advocate these things
fifteen years ago when first suggested
by the "pops"-Kitt has since that
time had the power to have enacted
his present ideas into laws at his
command. =
His visit here was certainly a dis
appointment and a frost to the stall

Mr.. Tax Payer, please study the above tax statement furnished and
verified by County Auditor Kundert and State Auditor Hrning, IS provided
by law, and you will readily understand what becomes of the money you, pay
for taxes. Note the amount paid for state taxes, county. township, school,
town and village and at the bottom the Irvine plant tax. You will note
also that the stat tax is much lower for 1907 than for 1905 or 1903. You
will also observe that the railroads pay over 1000 more in taxes for 1907 than
they ever paid before, also proving that the people have paid for the rail
roads about $4,000 n the past ten years. This $4,000 represents what it
cos Lincoln county tax payers to keep the Kittredge machine, in power for
ten years.. The machine system OF rObblng the people Is only dlnerent IN
method from the highwayman.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1908-02-28

1t will be observed that the rail
road tax for 1907 under the Crawford
administration has increased amaz-
ingly. The old machine protected
the corporations and made the people
put up for the railroads since state
hood. The railroads want the old
machine back in power.

One moment OF life where the demons

Sword stroke for sword stroke; come,

And God take the varlot whose down

Who balks at black trouble? He is
cheap; let him fly!
Into the game let me swing my full

To lose or to triumph. with all there
is in it;
The game and the guest and the spir-

All, let me grip hard and be torn in
the strife;
Into the battle, off coat, and away;
Hush title and tattle; up heart, to
the fray,
Into the game; it is living and breath
ing;
The steam and the sweat. not the
rose and the wreathing;
Steel striking steel; let me in, let me
tread
Where the bludgeons fly quick at the
crack of the head;
Into the racket; make life worth its
cost,
Its sweet and its bitter; whether won,
whether lost!

WHEN THE CANNON BooMs.

When the cannon booms,
When the snare drums rattle fiercely
And the feet OF men in KHAKI
hammer time out on the
pave.
1t Is easy to be brave;
| 1t is easy TO believe God is angry with
the other
Man, our brother,
And has left the sword of Gideon in
our wayward human hand,
When the cannon booms.
When the cannon booms.
When the battle flags are fluttering
and men are going mad
With the blind desire for glory.
Filled with visions grand and CORY,
1t is easy to assent,
To the Corsican blasphemer's scoffing
creed;
TT is easy to believe God is with the
big battalions,
Whether cherublm or hellions,
When the cannon booms.
When the cannon booms,
When the primal love of fighting stirs
the tiger in our blood,
And the fascinating smell
or the sulphur fumes Of hell
Rouses memories of the pit from
which our human nature rose,
II is easy to forget,
God was not found in the earthquake,
in the strong wind or the
fire;
Il is easy TO forget how at last the
prophet heard Him
As still small voice,
When the cannon booms
When the cannon booms,
When the war lords strut and swag-
ger
And the battleships are plowing for
the bitter crop of death,
While the shouting rends the
ear
Echoing from the empyrean,
1t is difficult to hear
Through the din the Galilean
with His calm voice preaching peace
on earth TO men;
Twill be easier to claim.
II we will, the Christian name.
To become as little children and be
men of gentle will,
When the cannon booms-the cannon
