EXCITING CONTEST BETWEEN
RIVAL HOSE COMPANIES ON
COMMERCIAL STREEToGIvEs
VICTORY TO NEITHER, PER
HAPS.

In q spirit race between two sets
of men with the hose cart on Com
nlefcial street last evening, the vic
tory finally perchcd on the banners Of
the brawny ard swift men from the
Uppertown Athletic Club But the
victory II one that must Dc explained
must be explained not only to be
understood, but 10 be appreciated as
well First Of all II should also be
said that their competitors, the "Old
Timers also won victory. Il will
take lot Of good natured figuring for
the next week Or two to ascertain def
initcly just where the real victory lies.
Meantime the interesting tale follows
80 that all who run may read:
III the early evening hours. the "Old
Timers ran the race and turn on the
water in one minute and ten seconds.
Then came the Upper Town men.
They made the race in one minute
and thirty seconds, coming in second
by twenty seconds. Also they
fumbled with their coupling, il is
said. Hence the "Old Timers were
the winners,
But in spirit 81 fair play, the
|"Old Timers agreed to call the race
of and to hold second one later in
the evening, Therefore after supper
the race was started up for the sec
ond time, with clean score card.
This time the Uppertown men ran
first, and again made the run in one
minute and thirty seconds. Then they
turned to watch their erstwhile vic
tors dash down the course, But, alas,
none OF the "Old Timers" were pres
ent; none Of the "Old Timers could
be found. Searching parties were
sent out to Jacks place" and to
"Jim's place" and to Toms place"
but none Of them could be prevailed
upon to come, or else could not be
found They were SO enthusiastically
celebrating the great and glorious day
and were imbibing SO freely Of the
spirit Of patriotism Of the occasion
that it was deemed best and neces-
sary to LET the race go exactly as il
stood. Only, the 'Uppertown men took
the second race BY default, and were
complimented by all who saw them
run. Nevertheless Captain Fred
Brown Of the "Old Timers'-they
who first won and then didn't show
up-was called out by Mr.. William
Dugan and presented bouquet. Fol-

try upon this meeting and upon its
work as they could be attracted in no
other way.
The presidents speech, while en-
phasizing in a general way the i'm
p~ortance and, more, the obligation of
conserving natural resources, leaves
the development of important facts
and considerations in detail to spec
ialiSts in various lines. This inSureS
to the public the best information and
instruction to be had conce rning this
important meeting and compels the
respect of the public for the whole
proposition.
1t is certainly a hopeful indication
when the people of the country broad
ly and generally, through their chief
executives, can be made to turf from
the wicked and inexcusable habits of
waste and destruction which have
characterized the treatment of our
natural resources in such large degree
TO the consideration OF means and
measures for their economic use and
pcrpetuation, and eve their increase,
for the benefit of coming generations.
The future will undoubtedly accord
to this convention greater importance
than we are in this day able to appre-
ciate.

Minneapolis Journal: 1t Is to Soon
to predict just what history will say
Of the administration of Theodore
Roosevelt or to determine what par
ticular things commenced or accom-
plished by him will be enumerated as
the most important, but ever at this
close range, on the very day of the
opening of the convention Of COVER
nors called to consider the coIserva-
tion of natural resources, we are not
too near the subject to realize that
| this is one of the most important
ideas this administration has given to
the country.
Not, of course, that the preservation
of the forests and the prevention of
floods and their consequent waste, the
restoration of fertility to the soil are
new ideas, u learned from the Reose-
welt administration, but the considera-
ti0n Of these subjects and others relat-
ed as national problems is a step in ad-
vance which we wi to those influ-
ences which our great president has
exerted from time to time upon the
American public. He has chosen this
case to impress his convictions and
purposes upon the country in a way
which is sure to attract attention.
The mere assembling of all the COVER
nors Of all the states, accompanied by
men selected by themselves and sup
pesed to be the best informed and
most thoroughly in sympathy with
the purposes Of the convention, is cal
culated to center the eyes OF the coun-

The LEADER has nothing to say
against the men running on the stall
wart ticket for the legislature, per-
sonally or otherwise, but they have
been dragged into a very unenviable
position, a position that says that
Messrs. Laxson, Brynjulson, Cable
and Peterson are unworthy and not
entitled to a second term. This is
how their candidacy is viewed by the
average citizen. Messrs. Crawford
and Kittredge should have been per-
mitted to fight out the senatorial
battle on their merits and second
term candidates permitted to enjoy
the honor of a second election with
out contest. This miserable guerrilla
warfare may continue for years, and
with it bitterness. The LEADER
hates to see it, because Messrs. Lax
son, BrynjulSon. Gable and Peterson
are entitled to a reelection If ever
honest deserving men we're entitled
to honor at the hands of their friends.

QUESTIONS

Question, My opponent claims |
made costs for the City of Canton to
pay.
Answer. The fines imposed by the
city justices in city prosecutions eX-
coed all cost made and as a whole the
prosecutions cost the city not one
cent.
The costs made for the people of
the county to pay in the McCaffry
Homicide case and the Burns and Lo-
we'll InquestS cost the people of the
county not less than $500, and Nc
Caffry was acquitted. These were
cases growing out of drunkenness.
1t is claimed that juries can not
be induced to convict for violation of
liquor laws.
Answer. l have tried over a dozen
jury cases in the justice courts and
county court in the city of Canton
and never failed to convict.
/ am asked what was done in the
way of prosecutions during my term
as City attorney.
Answer. The records in the city
justice office show forty-five prosecu-
tions on the part of the city and one
| OH the part Of state and that one d
transient.
l am asked why all sales of liquor
was not suppressed during my term
of office?
Answer. The city has no jurisdic-
tion to prosecute for selling liquors to
intoxicated persons, to persons in the
habit of becoming intoxicated, physi-
clans giving prescriptions for bever-
age purposes, drug stores selling for
beverage purposes, engaging in the
business of selling intoxicating liquors
without a license, all these violations
must be prosecuted by the states at.
torney and he failed tc do SO.
1t is claimed / am severe with my
opponent.
Answer. 1t was up to me to show
cause why he should not be given a
second term. This required me tc
state the facts which would show the
reasons. His habits and his failure
to prosecute violations of la~ were in
volved and also his official acts.
called attention~to these only, and on.
ly enough to show the cause required,
Something else besides voting is
needed in this county. Voting with
out enforcement is folly.
He having failed to enforce the law
during his first term and placing him
self in positions that he can not do so,
were proper matters of comment and
it cannot be expected that it will be
different during a second term.
Respectfully,
G. b. KENNEDY.

The railroads are spending barrels
of money to defeat Crawford and keep
Kittredge in the senate. Crawford
and the state board Of equalization
compelled the railroads to pay
$22l,O0O more taxes in 1907 than the
railroads paid in 1906, or in other
words, it was worth 1921 900 TO the
railroads to have the Kittredge ma
chine in power in this state. A
farmer or business man who will sup
port the old machine crowd in the
present contest in the face of such a
record has no regard for the welfare
of the state. This Is from a business
as well as a political standpoint. Po-
litical prejudice is deep and often
hard to change but the man who
loves his state and her future pros
perity, can not vote for men whom
the railroads want elected. The peo-
pie must protect their rights.

and says he will turn into the state
treasury every cent of the interest or
increase which the state moneys may
make; but he entirely fails to make
any promise or assurance that h
state moneys which will come into his
hands will earn any interest. 9
There is no law on the statute
books of the state either requiring or
permitting the state treasurer to loan
the state funds and if this new aspi-
rant for state treasurer should fail to
exact any interest on deposits or al
low his personal or political friends to
hold them on deposit without inter
est, there Is no law requiring him to
do otherwise and he makes no prom
Use that he will do otherwise. All he
says is that he will turn in What they
earn. How easy it would be to allow
them to earn nothing and allow them
to remain on deposit with personal
and political friends for the purpose
of evening up campaign subscriptions
or personal obligations.
Such n promise Is too thin. 1t Is
evident that il is made for campaign
purposes only. If this young aspirant
for responsibility wishes to be fair
with the people he should have guar
anteed the people that the state
funds would earn interest as high as
they aver had and that he would turn
it in to the state. Such a declara-
tion would be fair but the n made
is a delusion and a snare, and in prac-
tice no interest would find its way in
to the state treasury.
The intelligent way to handle this
matter Is for the legislature to enact
a proper depository law, relieve the
treasurer from liability and require
that the funds shall be interest earn
ing.
The bondsmen of Mr.. Cassill are all
his own county neighbors who have
confidence in him, know him to be an
honest man and that he will do by
the people of the state as well as any
man.
Vote for the man you know.

Sander Brynjulson, the popular,
progressive, hustling young farmer of
Highland township, is a candidate for
reelection to the legislature. He has
grown to manhood in Highland town
ship where his father located in 1869.
Sander is popular and justly so be-
cause ne believes in Il square deal all
around and his reelection to the leg
islature is an honor he is justly en-
titled to. We predict for him a rous
ing majority because the people know
him and can trust him.

Senator Laxson and representatives
Brynjulson, Cable, and Peterson are
worthy and deserving of a second
term in the legislature. They repre-
sented the people well in the first SEES
sion. To refuse them a second term
would be a reflection upon their
standing at home and the LEADER
can not believe any voter in Lincoln
county would Intentionally strike a
blow at the fair name and reputation
of Messrs. Laxson, Brynjulson, Gable
or Peterson. Give them their second
term by a rousing majority and two
years hence new men can aspire to
legislative hOnors.

Miss Berthine Thormodsgard closed
a two months term of parochial
school in Dist IA on Friday. 1t was
her first attempt at teaching but she
did remarkably well. There is a gen.
eral satisfaction in the district. This
could not be said of her predecessor,
who, to make matters worse yet,
slandered some of our most respected
people as a farewell salute.
A young hopeful, it is said, donned
his Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes and
slicked up to a finish preparatory to
going to see one whom he esteemed
above all other mortals. Instead Of
a warm greeting he got a cold Shout
der. This was too sudden a change
and he lost his mental equipoise. On
his way home, he walked along slowly
while his sorrow gave vent to a pro-
fusion of tears. He noticed someone
coming and being ashamed to be
caught crying he crawled into a small
culvert. When he thought sufficient
time had elapsed he tried to back out
of the culvert. To his horror he
found he was stuck. After rejecting
awhile he felt so small over the trans
pired incident that he crawied
through the culvert with ease. Why
the girl had red hair and false teeth
and he suddered to think of the mar
row escape he had.
The political pot is boiling over.
We got a letter from A. Blisterfoot
Kittredge last week where he assures
us that indeed he'll be good If re-
elected. There seems to be a politi-
cal epidemic at the county seat.
