LAWYER EGAN IN Defense,
He Will Strike Back and Flay
the Hide from His Torment
Ors Monday Evening.
SPEAKS AT CANTON OCT, 10,

| SPEAKS AT CANTON OCT. 10.
The final act in the Egan disbar
| ment has been conSumated and the
man who dared to prosecute murder
and expose crime has been shut out
from practice In the state by the
edict of the supreme court, Judge
Fuller being absent, Corson and
llaney constituting the court.
The supreme court has the power
to disbar but not the power to pro-
hibit a public discussion of the facts
that began with the prosecution Of
Mrs Kaufman and the mixup on the
O'Grady case, and accord ling to the
supreme court the bar Of Sioux Falls
is now purified, virtuous and clean.
The LEADER loves square deal,
and be the man high or low, rich or
poor, he stands before the people in
his right to defend his character.
Egan will do both. He is brilliant
and able, fighter, and man who
will in time destroy his prosecutors.
The people of Sioux Falls are in
hearty sympathy with Egan in his
fight and the people of the entire
state will rally to his side and wish
him success and final victory.
The people of South Dakota believe
in a square deal and fair play in
everything from dog fight to a
court decision and hate oppression
and persecution as they do rattle
snake.
Attorney Egan will speak in the
Opera House here next week and it is
quite reasonable to expect that he
will hang few hides on the fence
before he gets through. He is bril-
liant, fearless, and his address will be
the greatest sensation in the history
OF the state. See notice of his meet
ing elsewhere in this number of the
LEADER. If you want to hear some
thing worth hearing, hear Egan.

The protection of quail is one of the
laws referred back to the people for
endorsement or rejection on Nov. 3.
Protect the quail and protect all birds,
for without birds crops would be de-
stroyed by worm pests. There are
not many quail in the state and the
greed of few pot hunters should not
be allowed to destroy them. Vote
yes on the quail proposition, and every
farmer in the state should be active
in support of this law. Out in Salt
Lake City there is a beautiful monu-
ment erected to the common seagull
in memory of their saving the crops of
early settlers from total destruction
by a countless horde of grasshoppers.
The hoppers came down and were
ready for ruin when great swarms Of
gulls came and destroyed the hop
pers. All birds destroy farm pests.

HUNGRY HUNTERS.
Snuff and Jackrabbits Saved
Them from Starvation.

One of the best stories that has
come down the state for many day
was related by our old friend Charlie
Freeman, formerly of Elk Point, and
one of the pioneer merchants Of
the Territory, and at present visiting
in Canton.
Not long ago Mr.. Freeman at
tended a Masonic lecture given by
Bro. Ives at Britton, and after the
lecture was over a number Of the
brethren were discussing old times
and pioneer days and telling of the
hardships incident to frontier life.
Charlie freeman gave the boys a
cottonwood sketch Of grasshopper
days and how the pests devoured
everything that came in their way
from harness to tobacco after clean
ing up growing crops and young tim
ber
This seemed to set our old friend
Sam Denton to thinking and when
Sam thinks you can bet your ever
lasting dollar that he has something
worth hearing.
Tobacco" said Sam, reminds me
of a narrow escape from starvation l
had once out west of the Sisseton
where man could travel
100 miles and see nothing but naked
prairie, antelope and jackrabbits.
"In the fall of the year after my
said Sam, "a bunch of cattle
strayed away and with a companion
named Smith we started on the trail
to round them up before
sundown. We took our guns and a
few rounds of ammunition along ex
pecting to kill an antelope, as we car
ried no provisions We trailed the
cattle aaeis daraaaa decided to camp

| rather than return. Next morning
we were hungry and wanted antelope
for breakfast Several hovcred around
us at a distance and we tried to be
nice towards them hoping for a shot.
Then we got desperate and blazed
away at long range and kept it up un-
til our ammunition was gone, but no
antelope. There we were so or 60
miles from nowhere and nothing to
eat and our guns useless"
We were alfred hungry and in a
bad fix otherwise. Smith had a box
of strong Scotch snuff and he tried
that to arouse the dormant fibres Of
his tired body. My how he did
sneeze. He offered me a pinch and |
sneezed loud enough to attract Il
couple of jackrabbits in bunch of
high grass near where we sat on big
boulder.'
Denton had heard when IA boy how
hares were caught with snuff in the
heather hills of old Scotland, and he
decided to try the experiment.
''Smith,' said Sam, "let me have
that snuff box. | think | can catch
jackrabbit."
"How?" said Smith
"Nevermind," said Sam. "lt's
Jackrabbit or starvation"
81 took the snuff box" said Sam,
land put several pinches in Two little
hnl then
walked away about 30 rods and sat
down. The jackrabbits watched us
with their big ears standing up and
when we sat down they began to hop
towards the rock"
"What do you expect, Sam?' said
Smith.
"Never you MIND, just wait.' l
sat there rubbing my hands and pray
ing for help, as the rabbits kept hop
ping along and in a minute or so they
were at the stone
"How l did watch them. They
seemed to smell the snuff some dis
tance for they both dipped their
heads and, and, why you can hardly
believe it. They began to sneeze and
sEeeze until they beat out their fool
brains on that rock. and we had fresh
rabbit meat cooking over buffalo
chips in twenty minutes.
ct was the narrowest escape from
starvation l ever had in this coun-
5ry," said Sam as he got up to go
nome.
Freeman and Ives wanted to buy a |
)ox of cigars but Sam said he pre-
erred pipe.

upon communities that do not want

upon communities that do not want
them?
The advocates of County Option
do not deny that they believe the sa-
loon to be a bad thing. Most men
agree with them in this, though some
think it to be what they call "a neces-
sary evil.' County Option will give
to all the counties that believe the sa-
loon to be a necessary evil, the right
tolicense it. twill give to the counties
that think they can keep the evil out
side their borders, the privilege of
making the attempt. In case opin-
ions should change in such a county
after trial Of the no-license policy,
it will be the privilege of it's voters to
vote the saloons back again.
In view of the above facts, what
fair-minded man can object to Coun-
ty Option?

| stop our educational facilities by cut

state tax at the highest is only drol
alongside the taxes we chcerfully
levy for our own benefit in school anC

| Why don't these democratic orators

| Why don't they say that youl

houses and your roads do not need sc
much work?
There is true economy and sham

| The editor of the LEADER is Just as
| much opposed to extravaganza as any
man in the state, but he has no use
for economy that destroys or curtails
the highest efficiency of a state, City
or district school or public institution
that has been instituted for the bene
fit of the people.
1t probably costs EX Governor Lee
three times as much to conduct his
business now as it did when he was
governor, and this application will
apply to every business man in the
state.
Canton could get along without
electric lights, water system and
cement sidewalks, but it would indi.
cate that Canton was dead town
and enjoying the economy of ruin.
The farmers could get along without
improved machinery, rural mail SER
vice, rubber tired vehicles, and even
riding cultivators, but what would
be the verdict Of strangers on such
economy?
If this state had made no progress
Since Lee was Governor what condi-
tion would our people be in?
This howl about democratic econ
omy is all bosh. Lee, if governor,
would see no institution suffer for
want of support nor will Vessey when
he IS governor, but we want to say
right here that there is no man in
the state who will stand for decent
economy with greater frmnesss than
Robert S. Vessey. ~-. ---- .-.-
The population of the state has
about doubled since Lee was COVER
nor. The price of land has more
than doubled and the cost of running
and state has more than
iouoled, and appropriations in Lee IS
lime would be totally inadequate for
jhe present. Thisis true of every state
md the nation as well.
When the civil war began the pop
llation of the nation was less than 80
now it is over 80 million.

What is County Option.

At the election in November the
| people of South Dakota are to vote
upon County Option.
But what is County Option? Some
do not clearly understand.
In the first place let it be distinctly
understood that County Option is not
prohibition as some affirm.
Prohibition aims to destroy for all
time all the saloons in the state.
The word "Option" means kind
of choice. No kind of choice remains
where prohibition has been adopted.
We now have what is called Local
Option, under which the people of
most towns in the state vote each
year upon the question of granting or
withholding saloon licenses in the
town.
But under Local Option the farmers
can not vote. Only the people Of the
towns can vote under Local Option.
The most distinct feature of COun-
ty Option is this, that it permits the
farmers to vote upon the license 'ques-
tion just the same as any other class.
1t is unreasonable that the farmers
should be deprived of the right to
vote upon the saloon question, or any
other question Of general interest.
The force of this statement will be
increased if we consider that more
than two-thirds of the people of this
state reside upon the farms. And in
addition to this the farmers pay more
than two-thirds of all the taxes.
If two-thirds of our people may be
deprived of the right to vote upon a
question of this kind, why may they
not be deprived of the right to vote
upon other questions? or all ques-
tions?
Farmers do not be deceived into
voting against your own enfranchise-
ment at the election in November.
To adopt County Option will not be
to adopt prohibition. County Option
will merely restore to the farmers the
privilege of voting upon the question
of granting or withholding saloon IL
censes in the county where they re-
side. The opportunity to vote will
probably recur about once in two
years.
Those interested in the liquor busi-
ness are opposed to permitting the
farmers to vote upon the license
question, because they know it will
be difficult to deceive and corrupt
such a large, independent, intelligent,
patriotic class of citizens. But no
good reason can be given why farmers
should remain silent when a question
of great public interest us to be de-
cided. Saloons affect farmers as d. |
rectly as they do any class of people |
in the state.
Some criticism is made against |
County Option because it provides
that even though county may vote
in favor of saloons the saloons in such |
county shall be confined to the locali-
ties that want them. But there is |
nothing unfair in this. Who is mean |
enough to insist Oh forcing saloons

Ex-Governor Lee and w. w. Soule
addressed large audience in the
court room last Friday evening. The
audience was two-thirds republican,
but mighty few took any stock in the
calamity policy Of the speakers. South
Dakota is growing fast and has about
doubled in population since 1896, and
every man with a growing family Of
boys and girls knows how expenses in
crease as the youngsters roll over into
their teens. A standstill or backward
policy means ruin.

Matters of Interest to Women
IDEAL WRAP FOR
 SUMMER TRAVEL
Lingerie Gown Kept Fresh Under Coat of Crepe
 de Chine.

To most ears lingerie means lace and elaborateness. Literally lt means anything that Is linen. But everyday parlance applies, tho term to any kind of n thin frock that ls not silk and which can visit the laun- dry. It may be as simple as you like, especially this summer when good lines count for so much. and the mer- est suspicion of trimming, If 1t Is the best of It's kind, satisfies the feminine exquisite.
 The crepe de chine coat Is the in- separable accompaniment of the lin- gerie frock. What n sensible Idea 1t is If the weather Is sultry the wom- m Is cool In her thin frock. If treacherous little breeze springs up, bringing a sudden drop in The temper atnre. her outer wrap affords her welcome protection. Tn either case her ensemble is much fresher and smarter than the heavy skirt and sep arate blouse and coat.
 The crepe de chine coat. now that its excellences are appreciated. is be- coming more popular every year. It is really the ideal coat for warm wea- ther It is so light that its weight Is negligible. and yet is warm enough to give 1t real purpose, in contra distinction to the lace wraps--masses of braid and embroidery and lace. cluny, Irish crochet, reticella and Italian t-work-beautifu but utter ly useless except for their decorative effect.
 But the crepe de chine coat is quite practical for everyday occasions. un- less 1t is for real country wear. It does not catch and hold the dirt and heat like a serge, nor does it soil and rumple like a linen for train wear The average American woman does not understand in the least the trick of dressing well for travelling. In the day coaches you will find her in her oldest and most disreputable garments. and she 1utters into the parlor car gowned as for a reception. There is no excuse for one extreme or the other. Her travelling clothes should be the perfection of chic neatness and simplicity. That Is why smart frocR with cool dust-sheddng crepe de chine wrap makes the most sensible travelling costume imaginable.

Tone Talks.

The voice cannot clearly and effec- lively reflect our sensations until the throat Is as quickly responsive in ac- tion as thought itself When the breath is not perfectly controlled, the little voice-producing apparatus, the larynx, is constantly menaced by an over-supply of breath A very little breath pressure will cause vocal sound, provided the entire vocal in- strument is in proper boise. For ex- ample, say over some sentence in an ordinary speaking voice, pitching the tone about middle c and note how easily and without the slightest feel ing of pressure in the throat, the voice responds This ease of tone produce tion is due to proper relaxation of the whole body and to perfect balance of the breath pressure and tension of the vocal cords, one force offsettinc lne otnof anu mus establishing equi poise. Singing power that has musi- cal and artistic value must come through repose.

NOVELTY IN BLOUSES

Fashion writers have spoken before of the vogue of the blouse which has a touch of color combined with the predominating white. but no discus sion of the new blouse is possible without mention of this tendency, which fig possibly the most pro- nomced innovation in the realm of the blouse
 The color creeps into the design in various ways. 1t may stripe or dot the while surface. It may appear in hand embroidered on cuff and collar and frill It may be embroidered del- icately over a yoke or over fronts. The simple models In fine striped batlste or lawn with front frill are very much liked, and in some cases tiny hems in plain color matching the stripe edge, the plaited frlls. the col- lars and cuffs Where the frill is not wanted a flat box plait bordered by colored hems is used These semi tailored models open up the front and of course this immediately presents color problem.
 Designers have launched models opening up the front. the tiny buttons and buttonholes continuing on up the collar front and this collar finished with an embroidered turnover or em- broidered edge; but we have seen no way in which this collar effect may be made trim, neat and becoming The straight collar attached to the blouse on one side and fastening down to 1t by the only other attached collar alternative for the front opening blouse, and this arrangement is sell dom success. so one generally comes back to separate neckwear with a blouse opening up the front
 Where the blouse is sheer Vet opens in front frill is almost inevitable and charminsly dainty results are ob- tained in this way at slight expense Even a machine made blouse looks very dainty f equipped with a hand made frill and many women buying the comparatively inexpensive models rip the frlls, roll the edges and put the lace back on by hand, with results amply repaying the labor and time. The same thing will often transform one of the blouses made with plait of embroidery set down in front, and with collar cuffs and bow of the same embroidery, lace edged This is a com mon model and pretty when fine ma terials are used, but invariably the bow for the throat Is awkward and coarse because 1t is hemmed by machine and it's lace Is careessly put on by machine Ripping and remak- ing this bow by hand will often change the whole appearance of the blouse
 Some frill models have the fril made quite separately from the blouse and buttonng on with the same tiny pearl buttons which close the fronts, and this aids the laundress greatly, for the frills require most careful att | tention and can he handled much more easily and satisfactorily if de- tached from the blouse,

Braiding Pattern for Coat.

The design shown above Is suitable for the white linen coats Eton jack cts or heavy fall garment and we think that It will recommend itself 10 all, on account of its extreme sim plicity. Notice that the design Is con- tlnuous and therefore after starting the work 1t is unnecessary to cut the braid. The illustration shows the right and left sides of the front, n bor. der which Is suitable for joining on upper portions running to the back seam also for stamping cuffs The "V'' shaped piece Is suitable for n small ornament for the back. Stamp the widest portion of the design under the collar the point running down. The best effect for ths pattern is giv- en by using the narrowast soutache braid. II could be done equally as we'll with Coronation cord. but the soutache braid washes best. is mer- cerized and win wear much longer.
 The perforated stamping pattern for this set Is No. no, price of which is 15 cents. II is perforated on heavy parchment paper and ordinarily would sell for 35 cents. All orders should be addressed to our Fancy Work Depart ment, Journal-Courier. New Haven, Conn.
