Democratic Inconsistency.

The Democratic leaders have been
for years making loud declarations
against corporations and trusts and
railroads and have, nevertheless, In
stituted no legislative steps In all this
time for the purpose Of restraining
abuses. They are now indignant that
the Republican party, in carrying out
the promises Of its own platform, is
putting into practice the principles
which they, with a superb self-compla-
cency, claim are really covered by a
Democratic patent.-IIon. VIM. Fl. Taft,

Kittredge Didn't Answer.

Charles A. South had the following
questions in writing presented to
Senator Kittredge with a request
that he answer them. Mr.. South
says that his questions were not an

1. "Was the evidence on which
your committee turned down the
nomination Of w. G. Bristol the same
evidence submitted to the President,
Sec'y Taft, Sec'y Metcalf and Attor-
ney General Bonaparte?"
2. WAS the Cuban treaty, which
was submitted to your senatorial
body by President Roosevelt and who
urged its early adoption, in the inter
est Of your constituents as food pro

say it was not explain your position

Charlie Heskett with New Firm

Charlie Heskett came up from Sioux
City Wednesday looking slightly I'M
der the weather but just as genial
and cheerful as ever. Some of his
friends were wondering If he had
bought all the cattle in this section
in the fall as he had not been around
in several months.
"I'm just out after a weeks
siege of sickness in the family, and
am not feeling as robust l might" he
remarked, 'sbut sickness can keep a
good man down, n who has as much
to look after as / have
II have been15 years in the COM
mission business and it's five years
since l left Canton for Sioux City, and
/ have been climbing the ladder OF
success ever since. l am now with
the best live stock commission house
in Sioux City or in the west for that
matter, and am out for more business
than ever before. Hudson g. Greena-
meyer is the firm I am now with,

ed and strongest cattle and hog COM
mission house l know anything about
and / know most of them. These
gentlemen have been watching my
work for a long time and they wanted
me, and I'm with them to stay
Such in brief was Mr.. Heskett's
conversation in this Office Wednesday
evening, and the LEADER is pleased
to note his advancement, for we know
of no man in Sioux City commission
business who has so many loyal friends
among the cattle and hog men in this
section of the state. They all know
Charlie Heskett and know him as a
square salesman and are willing to
trust him with anything. This mark
of confidence is something any man
can be proud of, and Hudson & Green
ameyer made no mistake when they
secured his services. We hope to see
him at the top of the ladder soon.

The Brilliant Egan Heard

George w. Egan, the brilliant
young lawyer and orator from Sioux
Falls, was introduced to a Canton
audience last Tuesday evening by
Hon. Thomas Thorson, and he adj
dressed as fine an audience as eve
filed that building. The court room.
gallery, halls and side room were pack
ed and none went away disappointed.
1t was a mastery address along the
lines of good citizenship and no audi.
ence ever gave speaker closer atten-
ton. He vas Intensely dramatic at
times and laid bare the curse Of com.
m%ercialism in the daily life of those
who love a dollar better than honor
or justice. He drew a picture Of the
hard hearted political boss who stands
by and condones crime, that made
people in the audience shudder, and
yet all knew that he was drawing a
picture from real life. He said he
was speaking for no man but paid his
own way, and his only desire was to
aid in helping the people reach a NOR
al standard that mean the safety and
perpetuation Of a government of the
people.
He paid President Roosevelt a glow
ing tribute rs he did also Senator La
Toilette, Gov. Cummings and Gcv.
Crawford, and predicted the election
of both governors to the United
States senate.
Mr.. Egan's address was indeed a
mastery effort, intensely dramatic,
eloquent and forceful, and many in
the audience remarked as they were
passing out that nothing like it had
ever been heard in the court house,
and many expressed a desire to heal
him discuss the political issues,
which he has promised to do at some
time in the future. He is n Of the
coming men in this state.

Company e Inspected.

Captain Crisman of the 10Th u. S..
Infantry inspected Company E. in
the armory last Friday evening, and
the company was in fine condition.
About so officers and men passed a
very successful inspection, which in
dicates that the company is in first
class condition. Captain Crisman
was a LEADER visitor last Saturday
morning and remarked to the editor
that the Canton company is one of
the best be has inspected in any
state. He paid Captain Berg and
Lieutenants Eneboe and Way, as well
as the men, a high compliment for eff
ficiency and soldierIy appearance and
remarked that as an officer of the reg
ular army he was proud of such a
well drilled company of young men,
because good soldiers make good citf-
zens. Canton has reason to be proud
of her citizen soldiers and nothing
gives a young man SO much self-reli-
ance as a military training. The ed
itor would like to see Company e.
parade 100 strong.

THINK THE PEOPLE FOOLS.

Pierre Dakotan: The Kittredge-
Burke machine keeps up the cry of
higher taxes. Cutting out the tax for
the Irvine plant which the people vot-
ed, the taxes are not quite as high for
1907 under the Crawford administra-
tion as they were in 1903, under the
boss rule Of the old machine, and the
people got less for their money in
1905. Besides, it is to be remembered
that the state of South Dakotais grow
ing. It's needs are greater. 1t takes
more money to run a big family than
a small enc, but the facts prove that
Crawford has managed with such
economy that with several new offices
added or enlarged, as the pure food,
telephone and hotel inspection, and ey-
tensive Improvements ofour public in
situations, the taxes in 1907 are less
than in 1905, although Governor Craw-
ford inherited a 100000 deficit from
these tax howlers who are now trying
to beat Mr.. Crawford and hoist them
selves back into Office and power by
unblushing deception. They must
think the people are fools or they
themselves world-beaters in deceiying
them.

Notice TO Subscribers.

Under a new ruling by the post
office department. under date Of Jan.
1, 1908, weekly papers cannot be mail
ed at second class rates to subscribers
who are more than one year in arrears
which gives the publishers of all week
ly papers no option in the matter of

but he..department has granted the
newspapers time until April 1st in
which to get their lists in shape to
meet the requirement. thereof. We
are compelled to ask all our subscribe
ers who are in arrears to pay up at
once. We hope to hold all of our old
subscribers under the new system es-
tablished by the post office depart
ment, and, having Willingly extend
ed credit to oGr delinquent subscrib-
ers in the past, we trust that they
will reciprocate the favor by prompt
ly settling up their accounts at this
time to aid is in the work that the
new ruling Of the post Office depart
ment puts upon us. Local subscrib-
ers in arrears are requested to call at
once and pay up their subscriptions
and thus save US the work and ex-
pense Of sending out bills. State
ments will be mailed to delinquent
subscribers at a distance as Don as
possible, and we hope that they will
meet with a prompt response from all.
The subscription date on your pa
per will tell you to what month and
year you have paid. Look at your pa.
per and note the date. Under the
new ruling it would require every pa.
per to be stamped if the subscriber
owes for one year or more.
