A PROCLAMATION.

Thus far the season of 1910 through
out the central and western states
has been n Of exceptional drouth, iI
consequence of which the hay crop
together with that Of the various
small grains will, In those states, bt
quite materially shortened.
AS year follows year w realize more
and more that South Dakota lies wei
within the corn belt and that the
corn crop is of her most valuable
resources. The good year 1909 gave
US a greater yield OF corn than we
have ever had before in the history o.
the state, and during the present veal
cor has thrived and undoubtedly
will be the most substantial crop Of
the season..
l am convinced that the careful fol
lowing of more scientific methods will
secure for us in the coming year a
magnificent corn yield, far SURPRISING
that OF any previous year. The first
essential Of success in corr culture Is
Of course, the selection Of good seed,
and, realizing the Importance of Sc
curing seed before the coming of frost
l hereby proclaim September 8 and 10
A. d. 1910, as
SEED CORN SELECTION DAYS,
And would urgently request that al
of our farmers 60 into their corn fields
on those days and carefully and jul
diciously select the best ears for seed
for the coming year. BY sc doing the
orn crop for the succeeding year will
be materially increased.
In testimony whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal Of the State OF
South Dakota.
Done at the Capitol in Pierre this
goth day Of August, A. d. 1910.

The Lincoln Roosevelt republicans
OF California won a great victory In
the primary last week, defeating the
Southern Pacific railroad republican
standpat gang that ruled and robbed
that state for many years. johnson,
progressive republican candidate for
governor, has between 40 and SO, OO
majority. He has fought the robbers
for years and stood beside Heney
when n OF the gang shot him In the
court room at San Francisco when
Heney was prosecuting the boodlers.
All the state officers won out under
the Lincoln Roosevelt banner, and a
progressive United States Senator is
among the fruits Of that great Cali
fornia victory.

August %, 1910.
We passed Emeil Aulwes' pasture
the other day and were amused to see
IN its hind feet and sucking a COW.
The GOV seemed to enjoy it and we
are sure the pig did.
II. Fl. Stubstein was at the county
seat Wednesday on business.
A large number from this part at
tended the carnival at Lennox Tues
day and Wednesday.
Several children in the western
part of the township have been
troubled with what Is called infantile
paralysis.
Sam Keller, the old pioneer of Della
township, left Wednesday for an
extended trip through the northern
part of this state. He went to Mellet
to visit his brother and from there he
was going to different parts to visit
his children. He intended to go to
Glenham, Aberdeen and Madison and
expected to be gone a couple OF weeks.
Lightning struck Adolph Brand
hagen'S new house Tuesday night.
1t struck the chimney and scattered

it saves hauling coal and water. Sam
sits in his cab and steers his machine
like they do an auto, as the gasoline
engine sits on the same frame as the
machine.
Mr.. and Mrs. K. O. Nelson left
for Redtield Tuesday where they will
look over the country. If that part

A Hard lob.

Pierre Journal:-The Rapid City
Journal aptly suggests that South
Dakota needs a snake commissioner.
Perhaps n will be created this
winter. That will give some other
fellow a job to draw a salary.
If a snake commissioner should be
appointed as these standpat papers
suggest, and he was ordered to kill all
the human snakes raised, fed and
nourished by the old corporation gang,
he would have a hard job, one re-
quiring rubber gloves and a bottle of
ammonia to protect his smelling ma
chine, and the job at Rapid City
would be just awful.

President Roosevelt said to the
Editor Of the LEADER, the last time
that he vas In Sioux Falls. while
he and the writer were discussing
territorial events and Indian fighters,
eff l had not come to Dakota
Territory l would lever have been
President" He probably meant that
his cowboy life made him strong and
vigorous and that his popularity in
that vigorous life fitted him for army
service and that made him Governor
of New York and vice president, and
the hand of fate led him onward.

The B~rookings Agricultural College
has taken up the question of a proper
time to select seed corn, as advocated
by the LEADER two weeks ago. This
is an important matter, as every
farmer we'll knows, and it Is hoped
none will neglect this duty when the
corn is fit. We publish an article
from the college in this issue of the
LEADER which every farmer should
read. Minnesota through a procla.
nation by the governor has selected
a week for this important work and
the time is from September IL to II.
The Brookings College bulletin sug,
gests September 10 as a good time to
select seed corn and how to do It.

Mrs. Edith NJ. Fitch of Hurley,
wife OF the editor of the Herald, is
now In charge of the Woman Suffrage
Campaign in this state. May she be
successful in her great work, because
q woman Is just as much entitled to
the ballot as a man. The rum in
fiuence is afraid Of a ballot In the
hands Of the women OF the nation,
but God speed the day when woman
suffrage shall be universal and the
curse of rum q memory. The noblest
element In life Is the tender and
loving influence OF mother and sister
and wife.

the Canton Leader, is opposing Burke

candidacy. He said . great many
hard things against the gentlemen
during the primary campaign and, be.
cause they CHANGED to be successful
he sees no good reason for following
the example of many other progress
sive" editors and swallowing his
words. AS far as he Is concerned they
are just as much "Cannonites,' = spoils
men and corporationists as they were
before their denomination, when they
proclaimed they did not want to be
elected with progressive votes. The
Colonel serves notice That ii they are
reelected 1t will not be with the as
sistAnce of one progressive vote he
has in mind. He outlines their plat
form in the following:
"Mr. Burke Is for Joe Cannon and
he brazenly proclaims his fealty to
the robber system that suStainS Can
non an0 Cannonism. Martin Is for
anything that helps Martin and the
people can take care Of themselves.
Editor Linn has the right idea. II
progressive principles are to prevail in
this country and the evils Of system
politics stamped out, it must be ac-
cOmplished by the progressives OF
both political parties standing togeth-
or for their interests as the conserva-
tiveS Of both parties are won't to do.

REVOLT OF WOMEN
WORKERS now
WIDESPREAD
Fight Against Existing La
Dor Conditions in Way
That Outclasses Man.

The most unusual occurrence In
American labor history is the unex-
pected and widespread revolt Of
women workers against present la
Dor conditions. This phenomenon
has been particularly manifested in
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago,
st. Louis, Cincinnati, Wheeling, W..
Va, and many other places. At the
very lowest estimate fully $4,000
women have gone on strike during
the past few months.
Heretofore women toilers have
been regarded as too timid to or
ganize and demand improvement of
conditions under which they must
work. But in the last 80 days
women strikers have outnumbered
the men. And some of the methods
adopted by the gentler sex are said
to be none too gentle. A six foot
New York cop swore in court that
ITO pound girl slapped his face
until 1t was sore. Another blue
coat complained that a picket In
skirts grabbed handful of hair off
his head for a souvenir, and a big,
husky male strike breaker testified
that a slip Of girl had dragged
him down three flights of stairs and
had then deposited him in the gut
ter.
Trade union organizers through
out the country report that there is
an unprecedented awakening
among women workers, and inuuir-
les regarding methods Of organiza.
ton are coming thick and fast.

STEEL WORKERS GAIN
SUPPORT IN FIGHT
WITH TRUST
Stock in Steel Corporation
Given to Hold Men to
Their Jobs.

Unions throughout the country
are responding quite literally to the
call of the iron and steel workers
for financial assistance to carry on
the contest against the United
States Steel corporation, and agents
are at work in the mill district en-
deavoring to organize the .nonunion
employees Of the combine.
On the other hand, the steel trust
is pointing with satisfaction to the
fact that its tinplate output in
Pennsylvania during he past year
was 650,000,000 tons, breaking all
records In that state. But nothing is
said about Ohio and Indiana rec
ords. where plumber of its mills
have been abandoned and others
are badly crippled.
The trust Is making every effort
to unload stock on employees in or
der to tie them down to their Jobs.
and is also perfecting an elaborate
system Of espionage to weed out
"agitators" and enforce loyalty" to
the corporations interests.
The struggle promises to be the
longest and bitterest that has been
waged between labor and capital on
the American continent up to the
present. ......
