1904. Anti-Roosevelt.

II would rather gfio down to eternal
oblivion than be instrumental in the
election of Roosevelt. William j.
Bryan, Oct. IT. 1904, while touring In
diana.
"The surrender of the present Presi-
dent (ROosevelt) to corporate intiu-
ences furnishes an excellent proof of
the wisdom of Judge Parker in making
the statement he has. But President
Roosevelt stands for militarism.
The present occupant Of the White
House (Roosevelt) represents in an ag-
gravated form the warlike spirit, as
contrasted with the pacific policy that
has heretofore characterized our ma
on."-William J. Bryan, in speech
at Springfield, Mo-, Sept. 1, 1904, where
he accused President Roosevelt of sur
rendering to the corporations and hold
ing "bloody, brutal and barbarous" SEN
timents.

no quarter. We shall prosecute our

COUNTRY NEEDS A REPUBLICAN
CONGRESS.

President Roosevelt Points Out Inn
portance of Electing Legislators
to Support Taft.
President Roosevelt, In a letter to
William B. Mckinley, chairman OF the
Republican Congressional Committee,
appeals to disinterested citizens to join
with the National Republican Commit
tee and the Congressional Committee in
a movement to elect William II. Tart
as President and a Republican Congress
to support him. saying, in part;
1T is urgently necessary, from the
standpoint of the public interest, to
elect Mr. Taft, and a Republican Con
gress which will support him and they
seek election on a platform which spe-
officially pledges the party, alike in its
executive and legislative branches. to
continue and develop the policies which
have been not merely introduced. but
acted upon during these seven years.
These policies can be successfully car
ried through only by the hearty cooper
alton of the President and the Congress
in both its branches. and it is therefore
peculiarly important that there should
obtain such harmony between them. To
fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be calam-
ity to the country; and it would be
folly, while electing him, yet at the
same time to elect a Congress hostile
to him. a Congress which under the in
fuence of partisan leadership would be
certain to thwart and battle him on
every possible occasion. To elect Mr..
Taft. and at the same time to elect a
Congress pledged to support him, is the
only way in which to perpetuate tie
policy of the government as now car
ried on l feel that all the aid that can
be given to this policy by every good
citizen should be given; for this is far
more than a merely partisan matter.

portion of homecoming farmers is de-

ROOSEVELT THE SPIRIT OF WAR"
The Answer In zoos.

President Roosevelt, instead Of rep
resenting the spirit Of war;" stands
before the world the greatest ex-
emplar of international peace in his
generation. History will in full
season award him the titles he
has justly won, and the greatest of
these will be "The Peacemaker," in
spite of Candidate Bryan's assault upon
him in 1904. Under President RoOsa-
velt's policies the United States has
taken its place in the front rank of
world powers. Taft is committed to
continuing these policies.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1908-10-21
The Answer in 1905.

The gold standard has "slain" no
one, nor did it write the future
in blood" nor did it destroy our
homes nor foreclose the farm mort
gage, nor did it close the dis
trict school; on the contrary, it has
proved the sound and solid foundation
of widespread prosperity, leading to in
dividual progress and happiness, aided
in paying off the farm mortgage and
expanding the country's educational ia
cilities.
1t has brought such prosperity to
our country as was never known before.
Americans are the happiest and most
prosperous people on earth to-day.

THE ANSWERS.
The Answer in 1908.

The answer is found in the prevail
ing good prices for grain, corn, hogs,
cattle, hay and all the products
of the farm, together with the
fact that since the date Of Can
didate Bryan's crushing" speech,
Western farm lands have doubled in
value, and thousands of tenant farm
ers of that date have become prosper
Gus home-owners, tilling their own land
in peace, happiness and plenty. Under
the National Irrigation Act, and the
Republican conservation movement, the
West is soon to be the intense agricul-
tural and horticultural producing area
of the United States.

The Answer In 1908.

The broad meaning of Candidate
Bryans remarks on this subject is
that railway regulation by statute
law is impossible, and that "gov-
eminent ownership" is the only
remedy for transportation abuses
The enactment Of the Federal Rate Law
has totally disproved the claims Of
Candidate Bryan and wildly displayed
his unsound reasoning on great publi
questions.

The Answer In 1905.

Answer this for yourself. Do you
know Of any spot in the United States
where the spirit Of 1776 is dead and
forgotten and the Fourth of July a
meaningless date on the calendar?
On the other hand the humblest citi-
zen is growing prouder of his American
citizenship and the spirit Of 1776 is
permeating the entire body polite.

PREVENT CATTLE LOSS.

The use of barbed wire fences
multiply by three the loss of live
stock by lightning. In the prairie
states, farm mutual companies have
worked out the remedy. They find
that the loss by thunderbolts fired
along wires, which constitute two
thirds of the loss on cattle, horses
and sheep by lightning, a be obviat-
ed entirely by grounding the fence
wires. Last summer in Iowa a sim
gle stroke, running on a fence wire,
killed nineteen head of cattle, and in
Illinois twenty-eight head. During a
storm cattle drift before the wind
against a fence and then to a fence
corner. Sharp barbs in a wire in
crease its liability to stroke. The size
of wire used in the different states
varies from No. IA barbed to B inch
iron rod. The distance advised be-
tween ground wires varies from sixty
four to two hundred feet. All these
methods have proved satisfactory.
Near corners and in depressions each
post should have a ground wire.

The reports regarding the extent of
damage done by hail during the big
storm which a few days ago swept
over eight or nine counties in the
northern part of the state are CON
ficting. The first report was to the
effect that the loss was practically
total. A Sioux Falls insurance man,
who is heavily interested in risks in
the counties swept by the storm,
states that from private and general
information received by him he does
not believe the loss will exceed II
per cent of the uncut grain, and that a
good share of the grain had been cut.
The growing grain in some places
was severely damaged, but in other
places was scarcely injured, The in
surance man thinks that an estimate
of II per cent of the crops not har.
vested is a good estimate of the dam,

When George Clawson escaped from
the Stanley county Jail last Friday it
was thought that he had outside as
sistance, as he went out through the
door. But a little investigation show
ed that he did not need any outside
assistance. The Jail is in the base
ment of the court house, and is a new
structure. By failure to- put in a few
rivets where they should be and a bad
ly placed bolt, it was discovered that
anyone could walk out of Jail at will
if he possessed a small piece Of wire
or a common nail, and it was by that
