Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1909-11-26
In the Center OF the Earth

Prot. J. w. Gregory of England, in
paper on the Geology Of the Inner
Earth" records the latest develop
ments of knowledge in regard to what
is below the earth's crust. The inner
earth appears to consist of material
similar to that found in meteorites,
dark, stony and iron matter, heavy
and solid. Whether the interior of
our sphere is fluid or solid or gaseous
makes little difference, since under
the immense pressure within the
earth materials can transmit vibra-
tions and resist compressions like a
s lid; but they can change their shape
Is easily as q fluid. They are fluid
just as lead is when forced to flow
from hydraulic press. They are
nee 'ssarily intensely hot. That there
are ores OF value to mankind In these
under-earth rocks is now generally
admitted.

Gerber-Clancy Nuptials.

Henry F. Gerber of Worthing was
married to Miss Mary Clancy Of
Hebron, Illinois, on Wednesday
November "a, at the home of the
bride. Mr.. Gerber called on the ed
itor Of the LEADER last week and
with smiles announced the purpose Of
his visit to Hebron.
The beautiful bride that Mr.. Gerber
will bring back with him was a visitor
at Worthing for a short time while
her brother was resident there, and
every reader Of the LEADER will re-
member Hugh Clancy, the genial and
brilliant LEADER correspondent. 1t
was at Worthing that cupid found
two hearts that will hereafter beat as
one, and cupid was never engaged In
better work.
Henry f. Gerber is son of friedrich
Gerber, Worthing pioneer, and a
young gentleman with host Of
friends and none will extend heartier
congratulations than his comrades of
Company D. First South Dakota vol
unteers, who learned to love and ad-
mire him for his splendid soldierly
qualities. He was promoted to Or
derly Sergeant after the serious
wounding Of Sergeant Madden at the
bloody battle of Marileo. The young
lady he has chosen for life COM
panion is worthy Of her soldier hus-
band. She is endowed by nature
with all the charms that make the
western girls home makers and whose
companionship and love will be su-
preme happiness for two souls.
When Mr.. Gerber left the LEADER
office to start for Illinois he said: 81
will be home in week or ten days.
but don't mention this until l get
back" but an editor is not supposed
to obey orders when cupid is on the
wing.

provide free dinner for all boys and
girls who have samples in the contest
as we'll as the teachers who accom-
pany their pupils. Canton wants to
make the event one long to be re-
membered and when the Canton ladies
undertake to do anything in this line
they never fail to please their guests.
These boys and girls will soon be
the farmers and home keepers Of the
country, and it is the duty of every
good citizen to encourage them in
their splendid work. The boys now
raising corn for contest will be
scientific farmers when they are 20,
and the girls who so patriot took
up the work OF home culture will be
| ''home treasures" when their less for
tunate sisters will be lamenting over
poor bread and a badly mended gar
ment.
Let every boy and girl in the coun-
ty attend the contest one day at least,
and let Them see what is being done
by the other boys and girls, and in a
year hence we will realize what it
means to educate along these lines.
This progressive rural school educa-
tion is something new but it is grow
ing and is already under discussion in
the big colleges. There is nothing
too good for the farmers and there
is nothing too good for their children,
because the American farmer repre-
sents the foundation of our national
wealth, and the millions of honest,
God fearing men who feed the world,
is the mighty power that holds the
social and political lever beyond the
reach of millionaire fools and red flag
lawlessness.
Come to Canton December End and
3rd and see the splendid work of our
Lincoln county boys and girls. This
contest represents one step in ad-
vance of all other educational features
in any western state, and good old
Lincoln county will continue to be a
leader. Corn growing contests origi-
mated in Lincoln county through the
efforts Of the LEADER, and farmers in
stitute work originated In Lincoln
county through the efforts of the
LEADER, and last year County Super
intendent Lawrence took up the work
of educating boys in raising corn and
this year he has nearly four hundred
girls engaged In a contest that will
show how much they know about
baking and sewing and thus the good
work goes on. Other counties are
following the splendid example of
this county and this county will con-

HOME GUARDIANS NO MORE
The Order is Merged Into the
Loyal Americans of Spring.
field, Illinois.

The order of Home Guardians which
was organized in Canton and the head
office removed to Mitchell, has been
merged into the Loyal Americans Of
the Republic" with headquarters in
Springfield, Illinois. This step was
taken after approval Of the insurance
commissioners of both states and the
only change will be that the members
Of the Home Guardians will be known
as Loyal Americans. The insurance
risks continue as before but under a
better system, because the Loyal
American order is controlled by duly
elected delegates and the reserve
fund Is invested under the laws Of
Illinois. The Home Guardians was
close corporation controlled practical
ly by one man and the members of
the order had no voice in it's manag-
ment.
The Loyal American order has
about 100000 of reserve fund and
has about 10000 mefnb bers. Its officers
are elected by delegates chosen from
the order and it's affairs are conducted
under the laws of Illinois 1t is one
OF the strongest fraternal orders in
the United States and the members
Of the Home Guardians are fortunate
indeed to get reinsurance In such a
company.
The editor OF the LEADER investi-
gated the condition of the Loyal
Americans and found the company to
be strong in numbers, well managed
and with a reserved fund that is
growing and will always be protec-
tion to its members.
Mr.. James M. Blankenbaker, one Of
officers of the Loyal Americans, was
in Canton last week and after con-
sulting with Judge Clifford and other
members OF the Home Guardians
called meeting at 5Yeomen Hall for
the purpose of discussing the merger
and to organize an Assembly of 10y
al Americans" A number Of ladies
and gentlemen were present and fin
ally organized an Assembly by the
election Of the following officers: o.
S. Clifford, president: Mrs. Cornelia
Clark, vice president; Henry Cooper,
secretary: T. T. Smith, prelate;
Eliza Woodley, sergeant; Elling Opsal,
first corporal; Q. o. Knudson, second
corporal; May Payne, inside guard;
| w. e. Soule, outside guard; Clara M.
Jennings, orderly.
The title Of the organization is:
Canton Assembly 1l91-The Loyal
Americans OF the Republic, Spring
field, Illinois.
Each member of the old Home
Guardians becomes a member OF the
new order, II he desires to continue
his insurance, and the amount Of his
former monthly dues will be paid to
the new secretary, Henry Cooper. The

County Superintendent Lawrence
has been at work for nearly a year
arranging and directing for corn
growing contest among the boys and
for a sewing and cooking contest
among the girls in the rural schools,
and next week we will see hundreds
of boys and girls taking part in a
competition for prizes. The County
is divided into two districts, the
southern district is divided from the
north on the section line running
west one mile South Of Canton and
nearly four hundred dollars will be
given as prizes among the boys and
girls in the two districts.
1t will be one Of the most important
events ever held in Canton or in the
state for that matter, and many
prominent men will be present to
take part in the exercises. Those
who have promised to he present are
Governor Vessey, Professor Holden,
the great Iowa corn expert, President
Slagle of Brookings college, State
Superintendent Ustrud, Prof. Cham
berlain Superintendent Of Farmers
Institutes, and lady from the Brook
ings college faculty who will ad-
dress the girls. A community COM
posed Of Canton ladies will be select
ed as judges in the girls contest, and
the exhibits will be displayed in the
3v hon Ion in fh0 Svn6ioo a
block where all will have chance to
see the prizes after the judges get
through.
The Importance of the work under
taken by Prof. Lawrence will be
better understood when the work Of
the boys and girls has been examined.
There ought to be about six
hundred boys and girls represented
as contestants, and those directly in
terested In the success of the move
ment including parents and school
, teachers will swell the number to
fifteen hundred.
State Superintendent Ustrud sug-
gested to Prof Lawrence that all
schools In the county be closed Thurs
day and Friday Dec. 2~and 3, and we
presume notice to this effect will be
sent to all districts, and this will be
. proper thing to do because scholars
who attend the contests will learn
more about progressive education
from the speakers and from the ex-
hibitS than thev could learn in three
months At home.
The Canton ladies will do their part
In entertaining the young contestants
and are now making arrangements to

A7urgents 2Uant
Parry Ateg>1!y.
Dolliver and Cummins Pre-
pare for Bitter Fight in
Coming Congress.

"Party integrity is more Important
than party solidarity"
That, summarized, Is to be the
watchword Of the insurgents in the
senate and the house when they re-
new their fights on Leader Aldrich
and Speaker Cannon Immediately after
congress assem- bles in December
Senator J. p. Dolliver of Iowa and
his assistant, Senator Albert B..
Cum mmins, declare they intend to
make the country realize that this
is what they are working for during
the coming season, according to Henry
Needham in the december Every
body's.
"a fortress Of cards." is what Dol
liver characterizes the assertion Of
the forces of Senator Aldrich that by
virtue of his Craftsmanship OF the
committee on finance he is In charge
OF the "citadel Of protection"
"The majority obtained by Mr..
Aldrich In the senate" declares Dol
liver comes from a species Of rec1p-
rocity Of benefits, all centering in the
so-called citadel of protection Come
in with us, dwell in peace and harmony.
We will gladly give you whatever you
ask If you will only keep your mouth
shut and leave us alone in what our
special interests are already enjoying
at the same time giving us in ex.
change what we think we ought to
take.
"That, and that alone, is the source
Of Senator Aldrich's power. And the
delicious irony is this: Those senators
who said: If you don't give us what
we demand to satisfy the special in
terests we represent, there will be no
tariff bill, and who, making this de-
mand, got all they asked why, they
are the regular republicans.
"On the other hand, we who only
ask for a square deal for the benefit
OF the people at large and we're denied
our appeal, are called insurgents"
ISSUE UP To MIDDLE WEST.
DOlllver insists that the issue and
the one that will be fought out in
the immediate future, is whether
the middle west republicans will
accept the leadership of Aldrich, Hale
and Cannon and Payne, who made
the tariff bill what it is or will adopt
the views and follow the cOunsels OF
the insurgents.
II am altogether willing that the
title of the great suit which is about
to be tried before the republicans of
the country Senator Cummins
says, "from now henceforth until the
end, shall be-the insurgents against
Aldrich, Cannon, Hale, Payne, ct al.
81 do not accuse these men and
their associates OF bad motives. I
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1909-11-26

accuse them of false conception Of
the duties, responsibilities and func-
tions of government. They have been
on the wrong side of substantially
every question that the growth and
development OF the country have
made important.
They opposed all Of the reforms
that made the administration Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt illustrious; and when
they were driven by the overwhelm-
ing force OF public opinion into =
passive support of any of these meas
ures, they used all their arts and in
auences to render as ineffective q
possible the laws that were enacted.
ACCUSED OF AIDING MONoPoLIEs
II accuse them of giving aid and
comfort to every transportation COM
pany, every monopoly, every combina-
tion that congress ever attempted to
regulate or correct. I do not doubt
that they have been honest In their
opinions; but they have been none
the less dangerous and none the less
the enemies of every measure that
has been projected to relieve the
people from the tyranny. oppres-
sion and I'M Justice of the modern money
getter.
"The new tariff law revision was
both downward and upward, and 1t IS
true there were more items decreas-
ed that increased. The only object
that an honest revision could accom-
plish was to prevent domestic pro-
ducers from holding them at-or rais-
ing them to-a point above . rea-
sonable American level Of prices;
that is to say, they Threatened foreign
competition failed to keep prices
down to fair profit.
'There never would have been .
demand for tariff revision had 1t not
been known that in many fields of
industry American competition had
been wholly or substantially sup
pressed and that excessive duties
enabled the American producer to
raise his prices as high IS individual
greed would permit.
"a substantial revision of the tariff
downward, therefore, required that
the duties should not only be reduced
technically, but be reduced to the
point that would accomplish the
object indicated. Tested by this
criterion, the new tariff Is not Z
substantial revision downward"

FOREIGNERS SEEKING
 INVESTMENT HERE
Are Satisfied Americans Are Due For Prosperity Wave. Says Com
 missioner Lane.

Washington, Sept. 22.-"Hundreds of millions of dollars are in England. France and Germany awaiting invest nent in American railroad securities as soon as the investors can be as- sured Of absolute federal regulations"
 This statement was made by Com missioner Franklin K. Lane of the In- .erstate Commerce commission, who has just returned from a trip of near iy three months in Europe. He visit ed in his journey, England, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy and studied the railroad situation In all of hose countries.
 Men of money abroad" continued Commissioner Lane. "are satisfied that America Is on the eve of phe- nomenal era of prosperity and are ready and anxious to invest their money in any stable enterprise in this country; but what is wanted Is some assurance from the government that their investments will be protected in A fair way. They would like to see he capitalization of our railroads hedged about by federal legislation, so hat a purchaser of stock would be as sured of getting what he paid for. With the enactment of law to pre- vent over capitalization, American railroads would have no difficulty in obtaining in Europe all the money necessary for their development.
 Commissioner Lane will leave Washington the latter part of the week for Chicago, where he will at tend meeting of the demurrage com mittee of the National Association of Railroad Commissioners. After the meeting at Chicago he will join the other members of the commission on the Pacific coast trip at Spokane.

IS responsible for the high cost of living. He declared the tarir remain. ed unchanged for ten years while the cost of living, not in America alone. but In free trade and protection coun. tries abroad as well, kept climbing higher and higher. The greatest en- thusiasm of the presidents address was aroused when he declared that if the people wanted free trade-if they wanted tariff for revenue only-If they wanted to close down manufac- turies and to have cheaper prices at the sacrifice of many business inter. ests, they ought to put the Demo. cratic party in power. The president said he doubted even If that would succeed. for the Democrats in the sen. ate voted strongly for the protection of articles manufactured or grown in their states and districts.

SAYS DR. COOK TOLD HIM
Knew of the Explorers Visit to the Pole.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, by Mar conf Wireless via Cape Ray. N F., Sept. 21.-One of the men on the steamer Roosevelt at least, knew long ago that Frederick A. Cook had claim ed 10 have reached the pole. He is William Pritchard, cabin boy and as sistant cook on the Roosevelt, who re mained at Annatook with Boatswain Murphy to guard the stores. Pritch- ard had not spoken to any one on board of Dr. Cooks achievement hut when confronted just prior to the sailing of the Roosevelt, from Battle Harbor with a wireless message from mid-ocean that Dr. Cook said Pritch. ard knew the whole story of his dash for the pole, the youth admitted that he had learned from Dr. Cook the details of the final march and that Dr. Cook had explained to him the route followed.
 Asked why he had not repeated this on board the Roosevelt Pritchard said that Dr. Cook had told him to say nothing about his having been at the pole until the Roosevelt reached civili- zation.
