Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1908-06-26
The Real Keynote.

Chicago Evening Post: The real
keynote" was sounded yesterday.
"Although the president retires,"
said Henry Cabot Lodge, she leaves
his policies behind him, and to those
policies the republican party stands
pledged. We must carry them out
as we have begun, regardless alike Of
the radicals of reaction and the radi-
Gals OF revolution"
This short %utterance will win for
the republican ticket more votes than
the thousands Of words and endless
statistics dished out by julius Caesar
Burrows. For it states the underly-
ing issue of the whole campaign.
The people have made up their
minds that the policies Of Theodore
Roosevelt shall be carried out to the
full. Pledged to these policies in its
platform, the republican party will
offer itself to the people as the only
logical and efficient instrument for
their execution.

Gus Hanson thought he was just
as good a fresh-water engineer as DR..
Mold, and while enjoying a picnic up
on his big farm north of town We'd
nesday concluded to test the power
Of steam, believing, a he did, that
DR.. Noid's engine would have done
better service if steam had been used
instead Of gasoline. Gus knew all
about the tea-kettle tests but had
never tried a genuine %cotfee-pot test
until Wednesday. DR.. Mold says Gus
is just as modest about the result as
he is about the mishap on the river,
but the Doctor says he prefers cold
water and a disabled engine any day
to bursting cotfee-pots and scalding
steam.

President Roosevelt is willing to go
broke on the proposition that Taft Is
the right man to carry out his square
deal policies, and Theodore knows
Taft as well as he knows any other
statesman in the country, therefore
IL you believe In Roosevelt's good
judgement you must believe in Taft.
It's a strong combination.

Comrade Hunt, n of the oldest
members of the Soldiers Home, who
has been on a furlough visiting at
Dell Rapids, was a caller Tuesday
morning while waiting for the west
bound train. Comrade Hunt was a
member Of the home when the writer
was commandant and was one who en-
jOyed peace and comfort among his
comrades. 1t IS needless to say that
his visit Tuesday morning was a plea
SAINT one. We discussed the ''boys'
and had a good laugh over George
Gorham's loss of a bottle he once hid
in the woodpile, and how Johnnie,
the bugler's face used to shine when
he was blowing too much brass out of
the horn. Then the sad side came
when Comrade Hunt named a num-
Der of the gallant old veterans who
had passed away. We are very glad
to know that the old boys are enjoy
ing life so we'll, and sorry to hear of
some who are quartered in the hospi-
tai. May their days be bright and
full of sunshine as they march along
the paths of peace towards a glorious
home beyond the grave.

Our good brotherSef the Lennox In
dependent finds fault because the
Lennox candidates were defeated at
the primary. Don't charge it up to
Canton, charge it up to the people of
the county. Other men were defeat
ed and some of them live in Canton,
consequently there were no sectional
lines drawn. Some were defeated
who live in Harrisburg and Hudson
and they do not complain. Some
times a man gets on the wrong side
OF the political fence and can't climb
over. The people Of the entire coun-
ty2 voted on candidates and nom had
a slate or run a stuffed caucus. The
primary gives every man a chance,

one man can win for one Office.

DIR. Mold Overheard.

We said a good word in the LEAD
Err last week about DR.. Noid's expert
ence as an engineer and how nicely he
handled his gasoline launch, and now
he drove his beautiful boat up and
down the river like a racer and how
the people admired his seamanship,
and all this was as true as gospel be-
cause we saw him in action.
The story changes and in n OF
his river trips a week later his sea-
manship and swimming qualities were
tested in no uncertain way. He was
Swimming up and down the river just
as we had seer him. This time he
was down near the cutoff where the
river has made a new channel across
the big bend south of the Assembly
ground. For some reason unknown
the engine ceased it's chug chuging
and the Doctor released the tiller to
start it up again. While thus en-
gagged the swift current caught the
boat and was drawing her towards
the cutoff rapids with half the river
rolling through the new channel at a
fifteen mile pace. The Doctor "a
still busy with the mulish engine
when he heard the roar and looked
up to discover that he was almost in
the month of the new channel, and
before he could reach the vars his gal
liant boat was tumRling in the rolling
pillows. There waSk6 time to throw
his clothes and prepare for a swim.
He cast his weather eye towards Cap
tain Hanson's life saving station and
then turned to face a big tree that
had fallen into the foaming pillows.
The next instant the boat gave a
lurch, then trembled on top of a big
roller. and rolled over leaving her gal
liant commander in twelve feet of wat
err. He soon came to the surface full
of water and disgust but being a good
swimmer struck out for the bank and
landed safe while the steamer rolled
and plunged towards the placid waters
beyond the whirlpool. Captain Han
son rescued the marooned mariner
and in due time captured the boat.
The Doctor is very modest in detail
ing his experience and smiles like a
sailor ready for another trip.

power is to be supplied to the country
from this plant, while below and in
easy distance of the mines of the dis
trict, three different mills and leach
ing plants are to be built for the pur-
pose of handling the ores from the

railroad to Wells, traction engine
trains are to be provided to haul the
product of these plants over the sixty
odd miles of good roads to, Wells.
To further facilitate the business of
that region and to encourage the fill

dered the Sparks Harrell Cattle com

BING. CON- OHIO MERGER.
Straight of Negotiations Comes
Through a Sane Paper of Boston.

Stockholders Of the Bingham CONSOLE
dated Copper company We're startled yes
made in the press that an assessment was
soon to be called on their stock and that
their company was to be wiped out OF
existence through a merger with the Ohio
Copper company. Stockholders who were
unable to get at the real facts in the
matter sold heavily in the local market,
the result being break OF ~ points 70
80 says Financial News of Boston.
According to leading officials of the
Bingham here in Boston, the story as
published was premature and to say the
least misleading. These officials say that
they have been trying for six months to
work out some plan whereby the two
properties could be brought together, but
so far the plan had reached only the ten
tatiVe stage and will not be settled upon
definitely for some time
As explained by these Officials il is the
desire of the management of the Bingham
Consolidated Copper company to secure
for the stockholders the privilege of sub
scribing for the stock of the Ohio Cop
price. If the necessary arrangements can
be made with the Ohio management the
stock will be offered to the Bingham
stockholders at a price to be decided upon
later All those who wish to accept the
plan will be permitted to do so by depos-
iting their Bingham stock and paying the
stipulated price. There is nothing obliga-
tory about il, stockholders who do not
wish to participate having the same stand
ing that they would ordinarily have
In considering the price to be paid DC
definite decision has get been arrived at
but there has been talK of giving four
shares of Ohio for $40, or four and one-hal1
shares for $12
1t is probable that one of these figures
will be decided on. The management OF
the Bingham is also considering the posi-
bility of giving each stakeholder who ac-
cepts the plan one share of Eagle & Blue
Bell for each share deposited. but whether
or not the assets of the Bingham car
be distributed in this way is an open
question.
Bingham has an authorized bond issue
amounting to S1,0O0 600. bearing per cent
interest, which must in some way be pro-
vided for before stockholders can be given
any of the Eagle & Blue Bell stock held
in its treasury. There is also a good
sized floating debt to be paid.
A $12 assessment on Bingham stock
would provide 81, 10000, which amount
would Just about suffice to pay off xhe
bonds and the floating debt. but would
not leave much working capital for the
Ohio Copper company.
The Bingham company owns 100 600
shares of the Eagle & Blue Bell out OF
10000 capital par value 81
The Ohio Copper company now has a
capital of S15, 200. 600 an increase of 5OOG0g
