London. - The Salvation anti

the report, to do good work. The
number of applicants (after allowing
for the rush at its inauguration) re-

has greatly helped in classification.
and care has been taken at the first
interview to sort out the cases which
can better be dealt with through the

stand between commercial progress
and a dead loss. This represents
50, 900 a month. How long can Can
ton afford this and the price of o a
going up slowly?
The business men of Canton want
to own this power and it is proper
they should, butthe business interests
of Canton cannot afford to be neglect
ed much longer when the people are
demanding cheaper public service.
With electric power the city water
works and the electic light plant
could be operated by electricity and a
great saving in expense made there.
The cost of operating these two plants
with coal could be more than cut IN
two, which could bring a reduction in
cost of water and light to the public.
The spirit of progress demands mod
ern methods in public service, and
the only sensible and possible solu-
tion of the problem is the immediate
erection of a concrete dam and the In
stallation of electric machinery, and
Canton will become a manufacturing
town through cheap electric power.
Now, gentlemen, do something.

OFF With--The Lumber Tariff.

Under the above heading The
Northwestern Agriculturist Of Min
neapolis, edited by P. V. Collins, one
Of the most brilliant writer's in that
city, who devotes a column to the
subject Of taking the tariff off lumber
and putting it on the free list says:
"Here is the situation in a nut
shell. The price of lumber and tim
Der has increased enormously within
a few years. In good times u do
nestle mills cannot supply the de-
mand. The forests are almost gone.
Every year the demand on them in
Soon they will be wiped out.
Canada has vast on which
we can draw both to the relief OF our
forests and to the benefit of Jul con-
But our lumbermen, after
all their years OF prosperity, fattened
on the richest forests the world has
ever known, enjoying the greatest
home market that any industry ever
had, competing with Canada and all
other timber countries in the markets
of the world, (even of those of Canada
itself, to the extent Of one -hundred
twenty-five million dollars a year,
now have the nerve" to ask congress
to retain an obsolete duty.
"It is up to congress now, but a
little later it will be up to the people;
the people Of the great agricultural
valleys and plains Of the nation.
"What will congress do?"
The time has come when consumers
must demand a square deal on this
important matter and should warn
their congressman and senators of the
consequences IL they refuse to protect
them against the robber operations of
one of the greatest trusts in the coun-
try. Free lumber will benefit mill
lions-any kind Of q tariff will but
rob them. The man who votes to re-
tain any tariff on lumber Is not fit to
represent the people.

We Must Have q Dam.

Canton needs above all other i'm
provements a cement or concrete dam
down by the old mill site and with it
will come a new business life for our
beautiful little city. The impor-
lance Of electric power generated by
water means more for Canton than
any other improvement that a be
given US. Nature furnishes water in
abundance, the dam site we have, and
it only remains for man to do his
part. There is no guess work about
such a project paying big interest on
the capital invested if man will har-
ness the power supplied by nature.
There is plenty Of idle money laying
around drawing 4 per cent. This in
vestment mean Is per cent and yet
there is nothing doing.
President Thorson of the First
National, has given the matter care
full consideration and has many OF the
details in shape for immediate work
on a dam. Behring'S have been made
and q clay foundation found, and
plans drawn and nearly all Of the
preliminary work carefully arranged.
yet the matter drags along.
Adolph Bragstad Of a committee Sc
lected by the Unity Club to solicit
subscriptions to a fund OF $50, 900, the
amount needed to put in a concrete
dam and electrical machinery, secured
S7,4N In two hours, and the balance
can soon be raised when a clear title
to the property is guaranteed, and yet
it is claimed that 5000 will remove ev-
cry cloud upon the title. This being
true, why has this matter stood in the
way of progress. Many claim the
title is now clear as any title can be,
but in order to do business why
should a mere $500 be allowed to

New Form For Women.

The Chicago figure makers have de-
cided that the new shape of the body
for fashionable women must be round
like a gun barrel from the armpits to
the-well, yes, about two feet below
the low waist line fixed by nature.
It makes no difference whether the
poor creature has to pad out or
squeeze in, she has got to lace herself
into shape and Nine. White of Chica-
go, the shape artist, says 1t can be
done with 80 yards Of strong corset
string. Just imagine a poor fellow
trying to find the waist of his best
girl in a waltz. It's just awful. Then
one can imagine a poor unfortunate
man getting his thirty yards Of corset
Irvine in shape to squeeze the corpu-
lent form of his beloved into a gun
barrel, or perhaps filling out his dear
ly beloved with cotton and pillows
and splints to meet the requirements
of Nine. Whites fashion craze. We
trust the good level headed women of
Canton will never follow the fashion
craze to the extent Of becoming walk
ing gun barrels. Give us nature in
all it's charms, give US woman devine
in shape and poise just as the good
Lord intended she should appear, and
Nine. White can have all the gun
barrel freaks in Chicago the country
needs. 30 yards of corset tape to
make a woman look like an Egyptian
mummie gives one the shivers.

form to pass a proper postal savings
bank bill. The need for direct lines
of steamers between the ports or
North America and South America Is
pointed out, and hope is expressed
that congress "may be induced to see
the wisdom of a tentative effort to es-
tablish such lines by the use OF mall
subsidies" The only insular problem
upon which legislation is expected Is
the establishment Of limited free
trade between the United states INC
the Philippines as pledged In the re-
publican platform. Canal construc-
tion is to 90 on along present lines.
Congress and the public are urged to
stand back Of the administration III
pushing the project, without hamper
ing it with a backtire OF baSelesS
criticism. With regard to so called
labor and injunction legislation Pres
ident Taft reitetates the views ex-
pressed by Candidate Taft.
Perhaps the most interesting feat
ure of the inaugural is a frank dis
cussion of the race question in con-
nection with the declared purpose to
increase political cordially between
the south and other sections of the
country. President Taft stands by
the fifteenth amendment, and as
sures the south that so long as fran
chise questions are settled without
violation of the amendment the
southern states may be assured of the
sympathy of the administration in
their local efforts to solve the race
problem.

THOMAS IH0RS0N TALKS PLAIN
The washington Correspondent
of the Sioux City Tribune
Interviews MIR. ThOrsOn.

Under a Washington date of March
9, j.. C. Welliver, the able correspon-
dent of the Sioux City Tribune, sends
the following Thorsonian opinion TO
his paper, and the language indicates
that Mr.. Thorson hits the nail on the
head hard:
Hon. Thomas Thorson, national
committeeman from South Dakota,
and Mrs. Thorson, who have been
here during Inauguration season, EFT
last evening for their home at Can
ton. Mr.. Thorson has been greatly
interested studying eastern political
opinion. He expressed much surprise
at observing the differences between
here and west.
"My impression Of Washington is
in some ways Disappointing he said,
''entirely aside from the abominable
weather that prevailed during the in
a%uguration. l am surprised to find
such a feeling against ex-President
Roosevelt. 1t seems that the two
WIS, Wall street and Washington, are
against him, while the balance Of n
country is for him. The cause OF
Wall streets dislike is we'll known
and it is doubtless the influence OF
the lobby inspired by the interests
that influences the Washington peo-
pie. These people do not appear to
realize that they are only a small por-
tion of this great country in whose
hearts Mr.. Roosevelt is firmly in
trenched.
"If the reactionary senators Of the
east who seek to run the Juggernaut
car in front of the progressive move
ment and block it do not mend their
ways, they will ditch the car inside of
two years. There are now in the
neighborhood of 20 senators who stand
for the new idea, and their influence
is going to be felt in a manner that
will be gratifying to the people at
large.
South Dakota now has two senators
in Gamble and Crawford who are
thoroughly committed to the Roose-
welt policies. Mr.. Kittredge, who
landed in the senate during the Mark
Hanna regime, went up like a rocket
and has come down like a stick. His
speech and report reiterating his po-
sition in favor of a sea level canal a
few days before President Taft and
the board of engineers so unanimous
ly Endorsed the present work on the
lock canal, and his position on the
subcommittee of the judiciary COM
mittee in censuring Mr.. Roosevelt,
revealed to the public his true char
acter Of opposition to both Taft and
Roosevelt, a fact that the progressives
of our state have long known and be-
cause OF which they have opposed
him on principle"

Standard OH Co. Goes Freo.

We find the following editorial in
the st. Paul Pioneer Press, which tells
in a modest way how nicely some OF
the Federal Judges al draw a dis
tiinotion and allow the guilty a chance
to escape punishment. The Pioneer
Press makes 1t plain that some Fed
eral Judges are unworthy Of respect
and has this to say:
"To the understanding Of the plain
citizen 1t will appear that the case OF
the government against the Standard
Oh company has been finally wrecked
or a reef Of legal te~chnicalities. or
the substantial merits Of the govern
ment's cas- the people were long ago
convinced. AS to the equity of the
1929, DOC, 900 fine imposed by Judge
opinion; but an immense majority
looked upon the fine as just what the
company deserved. Now, under the
rulings Of Judge Anderson, on purely
technical points, the criminal corpor-
alton goes scot free. The Judges
principal contention seems to parallel
this: That if a thief stole $4,000 as
shown by the evidence, while the in
dictment charges that he stole only
$4,000. the disagreement between
the evidence and the indictment
makes 1t clear that he must go free!
Fort having been established that
the published tariff on oil, Of the Chi
cago & Alton railroad, from which
the rebate was made, was 1911 cents
instead Of Is cents as charged-the
profit of the Standard company on
the rebates proved to have been given
1t was Of course SO much greater. BE
cause the government didn't figure
the amount OF the rebates high
enough the company cannot be pun
ished for rebating at all.
The decision makes still further
ridiculous and contemplate the
whole body of criminal Jurisprudence
which has so long handicapped the
administration OF justice in America.
1t is not for a layman to say that it
is not good law" according to rule
and precedent. But the nation would
breathe more freely If somehow the
net of t~echnicalities, which is forever
used to trip the pursuers Of criminals,
could be Invested Of its baleful power,
and substantial justice be given a
chance.

Alex Nelson Won't Rescue That
Spanish Maiden.

Alex Nelson of Dayton, had been
selected to rescue a beautiful Spanish
maiden with a fortune Of $4,000
pounds and become q second father to
the black eyed beauty, because her
father is in q Spanish prison and a
secret drawer Of the prisoners trunk
contains the certificates Of deposit In
q London bank. This poor unfortu-
ate father vas connected with De
Lessep in the Panama scandal and
was put in prison for helping to steal
q million pounds or more. The
amount is unimportant since there Is
only 90, 600 pounds left-nearly half a
million dollars.
Alex says IL he had the time he
might go over to Spain and rescue
that charming maid and her wealth,
but he can't see how he Is to become
a second father with the other n in
prison, unless he adopts the girl, and
she might kick over having two
fathers.
The girl is at Gibraltar waiting for
Alex to cross the briny deep and carry
her away to a land where men who
steal a million pounds are never put
behind the bars. About $500 would
help the girl and her dear old thief OF
q father until Alex could sell his corn
and hogs and flee to the rescue, but
Alex hasn't time for he Is getting
ready for spring work. Charlie Lin
dahl was with Alex when he banded
us the letter from Angel Ruiz, the
prisoner.
Charlie was appealed to and asked
to be . gallant knight on . black
charger aud win fame and fortune.
but he declined the honor In our
favor and We have about concluded TO
60 after that girl and sav her from
sorrow and Spanish cruelty.
