places In the senate and affirm that
the republican party never pledged
the people ''revision downward" they
stultify themselves and their party,
to the extent that they are capable OF
stultifying the republican party. For
when Mr.. Taft as the party's stand
ard bearer was delivering these plain
spoken downward revision tariff
speeches, read by millions OF con-
sumers all over the United States in
the daily papers and commented on
by them editorially, these senators

The Bloody Shirt Gone Forever

The demonstration at the nine
tenth annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans In Memphis on
Thursday leaves no room for doubt
concerning the sentiment OF the men
who fought on the other side. Gen.
Frederick Dent Grant, o of the
man who defeated these same veter-
ans forty-tive years ago, was IN the
reviewing stand to watch the parade.
When the men in gray saw him they
let out an old-time rebel yell and
charged the stand. They jostled and
with one another in the ef-
fort to shake hands with the son OF
the famous federal leader. The ova-
tion was as spontaneous as it was en-
1t was prompted by sin
cerety and was no prearranged affair.
That outburst should silence pretty
effectually those, both in the North
and South, who still talk about the
.nte-bellum animosities. Those who
imagine the war is not over have
another guess coming. And the Bit
of wal memories would have
been forgotten much sooner than
they we're had all among the victors
and vanquished been as broad-minded
IS was Gen. U. S. Grant. He quit
the moment the last gun was
fred. To him we were n people
lgain the moment Gen. Lee surren-
1t has taken some time for a
'ew others to realize what he saw
rom the first. But it is apparent
that they see 1t; that the bloody
hirt has been buried so deep that 1t
lever again will see the light Of day. |

a host of admirers. His goatshiK
seemed prouder than any horse or

with a modesty seldom observed ir

organizing genius of Charles Kundert
The Lennox band furnished music
for the day and they blowed good and
plenty and won applause from the
big crowd. The Lennox band is one
Of the best In the state and the entire
county is proud Of them.
The walking contest was won by
"Alaska" Jones, a young man who is

Norway.
The boys novelty race was won by

To the Business Men OF Canton.

To the Business Men OF Canton.
The Northwestern Telephone and
Exchange Company which has been
doing the telephone toll business in
Canton for fifteen years last past,
and for ten years past the Canton
Cooperative Telephone Company has
been acting as its agent at Canton in
the receiving and sending Of toll
business. During all these years the
Northwestern has been paying
this company a fixed compensation
and now they propose to cut this
compensation to the Canton Company
substantially in two without any
substantial advantage to the message
sender. The Canton Company de-
clines to accept this reduction on the
part of the Northwestern as it cannot
do the business for the price offered,
and furnish to the Northwestern the
use Of the Canton home exchange.
The Northwestern has disconnected
with US and we can no more send
messages over their lines. The new
State Telephone Company, a large
reaching nearly every point which the
Northwestern reaches Is connected
with the Canton company. We can
still continue to furnish toll service
to the people of Canton, and we
respectfully ask that all customers
and patrons first call Central when
they want toll service.
We respectfully ask the people of
Canton to patronize their home com
paDy and home lei in preference to
outside combinations, and in the
future as in the past the home men
operating the home company will
do everything possible for the upbuild-
ing Of the City of Canton.
Respectfully,
Canton Cooperative Company.

The following is the report OF the
Mortuary committee:
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON OBITUARY.
TO the president and members of
the Old Settlers Association OF
| Lincoln County, South Dakota.
Fourteen members of our associa-
ton have passed away since our last
annual meeting.
Fourteen old settlers who have
resided in Lincoln County, have laid
down 4l,tr fifa;c XuOrI in r~aCnnnSp to
the call Of the Supreme ruler OF the
universe and have gone to receive
their reward for the labors performed
in this life.
We believe that death is but a
transition from the mortal to the
immortal; from the uncertainty OF an
ever-changing world to the glorious
realities Of a better home whose
builder and ruler IS the Supreme be-
ing:
We feel inadequate to express the
depth of our sorrow in our great loss
but we ask: SIS this the end OF man
and the hope of all aspiring and
faithful citizens?" And conscience
and ever h%opefulness of cur nature
answers no.
To us remains the storm and labors
on "hand and amid the rocking of the
deep"
To those who were bound by the
most sacred ties to u departed
brothers and sisters we tender our low
ing sympathy and would remind them
that the happy reunion in that Great
Beyond where death and separation
come not will be the more precious
for this lull and quiet In life's ex-
perience. The following are the
names Of those members Of our
association who have departed this
life during the past year:

Henry F. Gerber of Worthing, was
In Canton Wednesday, on his way
home from Wisconsin, Illinois and In
diana, and while in the latter state
saw the great auto races. He found
time to visit our mutual friend Major
Hugh Clancy and he says Hugh IS
handsomer, happier and more gallant
than when chief Of the society clans
at Worthing. Henry also visited
Spring Green, Wisconsin,, and found
friends Of his childhood. While in
Canton he favored the LEADER with
a visit and a renewal subscription,
and had money enough left to take
him to China.

After a song by the Slayton Jubilee
singers President Lewis introduced
Governor Wesley, who was given a
hearty welcome. and for one hour the
Governor entertained that big audi
ence with a discussion Of farm, home,
county and state affairs, showing in
a clear and concise manner that the
home Is the foundation for all that Is
good in local or state government.
He complimented the people of Lin
coin county for their virtue and NOR
atty as evidenced by the splendid
condition of our local and county af-
fairs and concluded q splendid address
by urging all to meet the require
ments Of good citizenship for through
this comes good government In coun-
ty and state. He was highly compli-
mented by all who had the pleasure
Of meeting him before dinner at the
Rudolph, where he was the guest of
President Lewis, accompanied by
Thomas Thorson and Arthur Linn.
After dinner came the auto parade
and 1t was a worthy representation Of
modern conditions. Nearly all of the
handsome machines were nicely dec
grated and the parade o applause
for all.
Following the auto parade came
the ball game on the fair grounds be-
tween the Lennox and Worthing
clubs. 1t wa a good game but neith-
er club seemed to possess the ginger
displayed In many previous contests.
Lennox won by q score of 8 to 4 and
with their victory went q prize Of $50.
While the ball game attracted q big
crowd the court house square was
filled with merry makers. and the
streets were full Of pleasure seekers,
and the business meeting of the old
settlers was carried on under the d.
rection of President Lewis.
The following officers were elected

"The power of the people to initiate
and enact laws is concurrent with the
power of the legislative assembly, and
as they have the right through the
fundamentally of the referendum, to
annual an act of the legislature, so the
latter body has the power to amend
and. impliedly at least, to repeal a
law enacted by the people under the
initiative.
"By virtue of this amendment to
the constitution, the people of Oregon
have been enabled to secure amongst
others. a law which furnished a text
