Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1908-11-13

Gudmund Skartvedt got home from
his Northield, Minneapolis, trip
Thursday morning. t
Lincoln county leads every county
in the state in it's majority for Gov.
| Vessey and now holds second place in
majority for Taft. Minnehaha, alone
leading.
Howard G. Fuller, member of the
Supreme Court Of the state, died at
Pierre on Wednesday after an illness
of several months. A successor will
be appointed by Governor Crawford.
Department Inspector Sensor OF
the w. R. c., inspected the Canton
corps last Saturday evening, after
which refreshments were served dur
ing a social hour in company with
grand army guests.
Attorney W. B. Mallory of Lennox
was in town Thursday attending to
legal business with Clerk of Courts
Olson. Mr.. Mallory is a clean cut
young gentleman and has been sue
cessful in his legal practice.
Berry Brothers, successors to II. E.
Thayer, announce a special discount
sale in this issue of the LEADER.
They are pleasant gentlemen to meet
and have had a large experience in
the dry goods and grocery trade.
They come to Canton full of the spir-
it and enterprise that has made them
successful elsewhere, and will be a
valuable addition to u business in
terests. The LEADER extends to
them a hearty welcome.
A great many people in Lincoln
county were led to believe that a lit
tie girl might win a house in a recent
ne wspaper contest. They know more
now than they did, and they also
know that the man who got the
house lives in Sioux Falls. We be-
lieve that the little girl should have
been awarded the house, but the
''holdback'' beat her. Her friends
worked day after day and week after
week in honest effort but lacked a
wad at the finish. Any other system
of gambling is preferable. Any other
system of gambling gives a fellow a
chance for a showdown. Poker is a
Sunday school game in comparison.
The editor Of the LEADER is under
obligations to the Aberdeen CONNER
cial Club for a complimentary in
vitation to the opening of The New
Sherman House in that city on Fri
day evening of this week, and the
editor of the LEADER would be pleased
to attend such an important event
did not other matters prevent. The
new Sherman House is said to be the
finest hotel In the north part OF the
state, something the good people Of
Aberdeen are proud Of and the LEAD
ER congratulates them over their en-
terprise and public spirit. Nothing
in a town denotes the character and
public spirit of it's people more than
it's hotel accommodations, and that's
the reason Canton is SO proud Of the
Rudolph.

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. Il. 1905.
The Commodity Clause Decision.

The decision in the Pennsylvania cir
cult of the Federal court. adverse to
the commodity clause of the Hepburn
act, was not unexpected by lawyers
and students of the legal and consti-
tutionaI aspects of corporation regu-
lation.
Until Mr.. Justice Gray's opinion in
the 10000 words OF its entirety Is
available for careful analysis it viii
be impossible to judge the extent to
which it is revolutionary or striking
in its views of the power of the Fed
eral Government over interstate com
merce. But in a time when so much
effort is being devoted to stretching
the commerce clause of the Constitu-
tion over all kinds of administrative
problems, such a decision as this can
not but be of the greatest Importance.
Such a jurist as Mr. Justice Gray
would not fail to ilmmine such a ques-
tion; and it may be set down that the
chances decidedly favor the confirma-
tion of his opinion when the Supreme
Court gets the case.
Enough has been given the public by
way of synopsis of the opinion TO
make it plain that the relative pow
ers and jurisdictions of the State and
Federal governments over commerce
have been very carefully analyzed and
defined. A decision in the highest
court, which will give a general dis
cussion of this subject, viii be epochaI.
There is the widest possible range Of
construction and opinion about this
commerce clause. 1t has been made to
serve most useful and excellent pur-
poses in the pure food and meat in
spection statutes, to both Of which
there was the most earnest objection
by the strict constructiOnists. 1t will
be interesting to know whether this
case Is going to give Us a clear-cut
and approximately final construction
of the provision whose meaning, Judi
cially determined, will affect more press
ing problems Of the present time than
that of any other single provision of
the Constitution.
The responsibilities of the States will
be vastly increased il it shall be de-
termined-and by the circuit court it
apparently has been-that the States
Obligations and powers must not be re
stricted. This decision touches directly
on the question OF a twilight zone
of uncertainty between State and Fed
eral powers. There has been such
zone, and there ought not to be. There
is reason to hope that the Pennsylvania
decision may end its existence, If so,
1t will be one of the most important
deIiverances ever handed down by any
court in the land.

Republican Bureau Intro
duces New Idea as to Ex-
penses-BHls Required.

NEW YORK, Sept H. Speubinders
for the Republican national ticket are
much annoyed by a method OF itemizlng
bills and an agreement that must be
signed that have been ordered By the
Republican national committee thIs
year. Col T. Coleman Du Pont, chair
man Of the speakers bureau o !. the Re
publican national committee. IS credited
with originating Ihe idea.
Before q speaker Is engaged and sent
out TO stump for Taft and Sherman, he
is compelled TO sign an agreement, at
least the secOnd-raters are. whereby II
is put down In writing how much he
will receive for his services. Also, he
must place his signature to a promise to
send each week an itemized bin OF ex-
penses, as well as a report as 10 con-
ditions wherever he may be, The per-
emptory manner in which the commit
tee may dispense WIN the speakers
services, even if ne is ia Oshkosh or any
other place. is shown in the following
paragraph:
1T is hereby mutually agreed between
the parties hereto and the party Of the
first part hereby expressly reserves the
right to cancel this contract at any time
upon notice given to the party Of the
second part by mail or telegraph. where
upon this contract shall recome null
and void. and all obligations thereby
created IN respect to the payment of
compensation and expenses to the party
Of the second part shall cease
In a separate expense account, which
the speaker must fill in and send 20 the
speakers bureau each week, are spaces
for the date OF a meeting. the place. the
apprOximate attendance Items OF eX-
pensss are mentioned as railroad fare,
sleeper charges, hotel bills and meals,
and "sundries.'
1t is understood that some speakers
when these agreements and expense ac-
counts have bsen handed TO them, have
refused TO sign them and have, there
fore, failed TO enlist themselves as cam
paign speakers.
