THE MAN WHO WINS

| Editor COURIER
The man who wins is the man who
works,
The man who tolls while the next
man shirks;
The man who stands in his deep
distress,
With his lead held high in the
deadly press;
Yss, he is the man who wins!
The man who wins is the man who
knows
The value OF pain and the worth of
woes,-
Who lesson learns from the man
who fails
And moral finds la his mOurnful
walls;
Yes, he Is the man who wins!
The man who wins is the man who
stays
In the unsought path and the rocky
ways,
And, perhaps, who fingers now and
then,
To help some failure to rise again.
All, he Is the man who wins,
And the man who wins is The man
who hea,s
The curse OF the envious In his
ears,
But who goes his way with his head
held high
And passes the wrecks of the fail
ures Bly,
For he is the man who wins!

Trying To Straighten The Sioux

Akron was represented byl. Knud-
son in conference held TUESDAY, In
Sioux City for the consideration oil
preliminaries in the proposed move
ment to straighten portion OF the
course Of the tOrtuOus Big Sioux riv-
err for the prevention of flooding OF
farm lands adjacent thereto. A move
ment in that direction was begun last
year, to which added impetus is given
by the recent serious overflow. Attor-
| neys e. G.. Ericsson IF Elk Point, /. S.
Struble of LeMars, and F. w. Sargent
OF Sioux City were present and it was
their idea to call a meeting of the val
ley property owners in Akron, it being
centrally located, to more fully cOnsid-
err the matter. The attorneys will
make an estimate OF the legal cost OF
the project, and, If the land owners are
Satisfied, will eudeavor to have the ma
tional congress authorize the South
Dakota and Iowa legislatures to enact
special and uniform measures to pro-
coed with the important work.
A large scope Of country north Of
here is now drained into the Big Sioux
and It's tributaries from bitches, so
that heavy rains In that section meant
sudden food toward the mouth of
the river. 1t is now much worse than
few years ago and the situation Is be-
coming worse right along. 1t is espec-
tally bad from Hawarden to poi1t
below Richlaud, On account OF so many
sharp bends in the stream, which tend
to hold the water back and food ad-
joining farm lands. The June floods
destroy thousands OF dollars worth OF
crops, this years loss being especially
severe. These continued losses are al
80 causing deterioration in the mar
ket value of farm land along the river
and the owners are becoming tho
roughly aroused over the existing con
ditions.- Akron Registe Tribune.

The Camp Meeting at Canton

No small percentage OF the interest
which is evident in the Camp Meeting
at Canton, beginning the 28th of July,
attaches to the man who has been en-
gagged to conduc: the evangeiistic
meetings. DIR. Ostrom was not only
associated with DR.. j. Wilbur Chap
mao in the first simultaneous cam
paign conducted on large scale in
this country that particular cam
paign being in Pittsburg, Pa, but he
has also been with him, or has con-
Quoted these campaigns personally in
the larger cities from ocean to ocean,
and his recent book on the subject,
1.-THE Crisis in Church Work" has
been greeted with remarkable inter
est.
His campaign in the Hawaiian Is.
lands few years ago gained scope
OF influence so great that the governor
sent his mounted guards and band OF
musicians to assist him in parade
JuTOuk Vic obItcbS vi he
bible conference which he conducted
there had for one Of its features the
singing OF hymns in seven languages
all at the same time, and of course to
the same tune.
Or. Charles M. Sheldon, the author
of "In His Steps," has many common
datory things to say OF the work which
he did in his church at Topeka, Kan
sas. A few, months ago an Episcopa-
liam rector presided each night while
Dr. Ostrom conducted the meetings
with the united churches.
| Men prehaps in g,eater number
than women take an interest In this
remarkable work OF God.

Death OF Andrew Erickson

I andrew Erickson, one of the Oldest
settlers of Brule township and one O
her best knoyn and most highly re
spected citizens, died early Saturday
afternoon of hardening of the liver. Fo,
some four months he had been closet,
coafined to the house, but he seemed
no worse than usual last week. He
died quietly, sitting in his chair.
Andrew Erickson was born in Aar
dial, Norway, Jan. u, lS4l and was a sor
OF Erck and Mary Hoffland) Erickson
He lived in the land o. his birth un.
til he was sixteen, acquiring only a linn
tied education in the common schools
OF that early day. Tn 1857 he came to
America with an uncle in sailing
vessel, landing at Quebec, and, push
Ing their way west through Detroi,
and Chicago, came to Dane county,
Wis. Here he worked on farm and
here in 1861, near the opening of the
Civil War, ne enlisted in Company Fl,
Fifteenth Wisconsin infantry. Thi.
was one of the big fighting regiments,
seeing some OF the severest engage.
ments OF the whole war and number.
Ing only seventeen men when the regi-
ment was mustered out at the close oil
three years strenuous service. The
entire regiment, officers and all, was
composed OF Scandinavians. Mr..
Erickson took part in seven impOrtan,
and bloody battles, including Chicka.
maugua, Missionary Ridge and Sher-
mans march 10 Atlanta ard the sea
In December, 1864, Mr.. Erickson was
mustered out of the service with his
regiment and returned to Dane coun-

In 1866, Mr., and Mrs. Erickson left
Dane county and pushed on further
west to Union county, Dakota territory.
Here he selected claim just over the
line la Rrule township and In the
spring OF the next year commenced
residence, which has remained their
home to the present day. AT first they
lived in small log cabin, gradually
improving the farm and passing
through the hardships and privations
OF frontier experience. 10 them
were born six children, three of them
dying in childhood of diptheria. Mary,
Julia and Carrie. Ihe three surviving
children are Josephine, now Mrs. All
Hartley of Rio, Wis. Ed. O. OF this city
and Mrs. Frank Welton OF Cor son,

The funeral was attended late Mon
day afternoon at the Sphinx Lutheran
church, the pastor, Rev. Rue, officiat-
ing. There was very large atten-
dance of sympathizing friends. Besides
the widow and three children mention
ed above, Mr.. Erickson is survived
by one brother, Eric f.. Holland of

Anderson of Sioux Valley. A wide
circle OF frien-is and acquaintances liz
expressing deep and sincere sympathy
with the mourning relatives, in which
the COURIER would heartily join.

ILLINOIS-THE HOLE IN THE MAP
SOUTH DAkOTA-HALP A HOLE OR MON

| ooOa II DANOA A-hALF a hULk w MOkk
The vote on the tariff bills makes the
Mississippi Valley states, together
with one or .wo adjoining states FORM
ing continuous territory, stand out ir
striking prominence.
These states have, both by the last
| census and by estimates for 1908, al
most exactly one-quarter of the popu.
alton of the United States.
They are Indiana, Hi nois, Wiscon.
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri. Kan
sas. Nebraska, South Dakota.
They have collectively two Demo-
cratic and sixteen Republican senators
The Democrats, OF course, voted
against the ALDRICH tariff bill. So
aid ten of the sixteen republicans
And these Republicans from contigu.
Gus territory were the onlyRep ublicans
to vote against it.
Striking as this is, further analy-
sis OF the vote is much more striking,
for it justifies the belief that the peo-
pie OF this great area are practically
solid against the Aldrichized tariff.
The six senatorial votes out of the
eighteen from this territory were as
follows:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; elected in 1905,
before the tariff issue became politi-
cally acute.
Kansas-CURTIs; elected 1907: a
survival of the element rebuked last
fail when BRISToW beat LONG.
South Dakota-GAMBLE elected
1907 for his second term, and in oppo-
sition on the tariff to his colleague,
CRAWFORD, elected last fall.
nsin--STEPHENSON; elected
l9O9;successfrl through spending hugh
amounts of money, though aided by
his former connection with the pro-
gressive Republicanism which he has
now deserted
Illinois-CULLOM and LORIMER.
For Missouri, Kansas and South
Dakota, therefore, it appears that the
votes for the tariff bill wore given by
senator's elected two years or more
ago, and out OF touch with the present
sentiment of their states.
For Wisconsin STEPHENSON is
"black sheep"
Illinois is the only state which
shows two senatorial votes for the
ALDRIcH bill. Righa in the heart of
the protesting territory, it makes it.
self exceptional by ihe misreprese nta-
tion it's senator's have given it.
1t is the hole in the map.
Not the people Of Illinois, but the
domination of the stale legislature by
bipartisanship OF spoils has 80 sha, n
ed the state.
fortunately the end is not yet. Tn g
Republican protest against ALDRICH
will strengthen itself in future cleo
lions, and Illinois will have it's oppOr-
tunity to join with its sister states. !,
according 10 the will of it's people

Another Dock Installed.

CAPTAIN Marcus l.. Henderson of the
Davenport-Ro Island ferry cont
pany is making preparations to accom-
modate the public 10 the best of his
ability while the government bridge
is closed in the course of the next
week or so 10 undergo repairs. The
third landing dock belonging to the
company has been brought up from
the boatyard and placed in position at
the foot of Seventeenth street, and ii
is the intention of the captain TO use
that dock as landing place when he
has an unusually heavy load on board
either of the boats Teams with
heavy wagons behind them sometimes
have considerable trouble in getting
from the ferry landing on Eighteenth
street to First avenue on account of
the sharp slope in the bank there The
incline to the avenue from the lower
dock is very gradual. however, and
there ought 10 be 10 trouble in making
ii with the heaviest loads Both boats
will be used continuously while the
bridge is closed and they will run
from ) o'clock i'll the morning until
midnight After midnight they will
receive a supply of coal to last them
for the next "a hours, and the pres
ence of the two docks will greatly IA
cilitate the coaling up of the boats.
Bridge Closes Next Week.
Colonel Hobbs, commander at Rock
Island arsenal, stated today that he
expects the contractors who have the
job OF relaying the flooring on the
bridge will be ready TO so to work by
the middle of next week. in which
case the bridge will be closed 10 the
public The company which is TO sup
ply the lumber for relayinS the floors
has to bring it up from East st. Louis.
and there have been numerous delays
in getting it here. 1t all has to be
creosoted. and that. too, has caused
delay. Once it gets here. however, it
is expected that the work will be com
pleted within period of three weeks.
In addition to putting in new flooring,
the entire structure viii be repainted,
but this work will not interfere with
the regular traffic on the bridge.
