The entire west will stand for
insurgency 80 long as the interests
control congress, and 1t should not be
expected that the people will surrend-
OF their right to participate In the
law making body Of the nation when
they consider the men and means
employed by those who represent the
great combines In congress. The
people have rights that must be
protected and insurgency stands for
the protection Of the masses against
the classes. It matters not how
much insurgent congressman may be
condemned by the m~ercenaries, as
they represent the true principals Of
popular government and are bound to
win in the end. 1t takes lots of
courage to be an jnsurgent in Wash
ington, but 1t took lots of courage for
President Roosevelt to lead the
assault on the breastwOrkso Of intrench-
ed arrogance and corrupt power, but
he won, and the American people
were ct his back when he turned his
great Office over TO his successor.
The insurgent congressman and
senator's are following the Roosevelt
line Of battle and they will win be-
cause they are In the right.

electric lights that Mr.. Hunt gazed
upon just before taking his seat at
the organ. and then it was music,
enchanting music, such as Canton
had never heard before, floating as an
aolian whisper from afar, to the
swelling tones of power and grandeur
as the big pipes sang to the touch of
the master.
There was another surprise in store
for that big audience that in silence
admired and adored the beautiful solo,
ist, Miss Stella Sogn. Standing on
the balcony in front of the organ,
radiant in the glow of beauty and
youth, she sang as only the finished
artist a sing, and at times her
notes were strong and sweet above
the swelling tones Of the organ. 1t
was an inspiration to hear that mag
ni6cent voice; it was a glorious sur

\ COLD STORAGE BUILDINGS

Are Now Made I.apervlous to Heat
by the Aid of IrntraDped Air.
The modern theory of successfully

trapped AFFAIR that is actually dead.
This means that the air must be in
sealed spaces and that the spaces must
be infinitely small-otherwlse the es'
sential idea of still ali" Is over.
thrown. The insulation must depend
for its %entrapped air upon the inter
stices or cells of the material employ
ed rather than upon alternate layers
of solid insulation and air spaces.
This new principle Of insulation,
which does away with double walls
with air spaces between, has brought
into vogue solid insulation. In this
type the protection consists Of layers
or blocks or various materials set in
Portland pitch cement directly against
brick or concrete walls and protected
on the inside surface by plaster or
tile. The space occupied by solid in.
sulation is much less than that util-
lied by the older construction. If a
fireproof or slow-burning material be
used In raking the insulation the hre
risk IL greatly reduced.
Tho materials available for this 10.
called solid" method Of Insulation
arp chiefly cork and compressed min.
oral wool blocks called "lith."
Cork. by virtue of its natural state
and apparent use for which nature in.
tended 1t. lends itself admirably to in.
sulating purposes. In cold storage
work, cork is efficient as a non-con.
ductor OF heat, is free from capillary
attraction, and has no tendency to alb
sorb moisture freely. When used as
cork boards 1t is granulated, com
pressed in iron molds, and baked
while under pressure. its own natural
gum being liQuefled by the heat and
uniting the granules into solid Blocks.
Thes have fair structural strength
and are quite n%reproof.
Lith Is made from rock fibre min
eral wool and degummed flax fiber.
In the process Of manufacturing the
settling propensities Of the mineral
wool are removed and the product
given structural strength by the de-
gummed fax fiber. The finished ma.
terial is 4 strong, light. durable board.
It consists Of many minute cells which
conine air with the least possible
chance for circulation. Lith is fairly
nreproof, a good nonconductor OF
heat, and, when cost Is considered,
compares favorably with cork board.

stalwart Complaint silenced.


The Argus Leader and a few other
Kittredgites have been bowling about
the. enormous appropriations OF the
progressive government, and are
demanding a change (for Kittredge)
for the sake of economy. The
economy (J Of the last stalwart
administration nearly ruined the
state institutions and it took extra
appropriations to put them back in
good working order.
The Vermillion Republican, a
stalwart organ, published the
following howl smasher -last week,
and 1t is so fair and manly in its
position that the LEADER reprints the
article for the benefit of progressives
as we'll as stalwarts:
"There is one item in the call fer
Stalwart Republican conference and
action at Huron which we trust will
be handled very judiciously. 1t is
the n relating to expenditures and
Indebtedness. In our opinion a large
percentage Of the States present
apparent Indebtedness has been wisely
and necessarily incurred. 1t so
happened during the past two years
that it was ~imperatively incumbent
to maintain at least the responsibility
of most Of our public institutions,
saying nothing of enlarging the scope
of their usefulness. Our State is
a growing State and it is peopled by
Intelligent, enterprising and public
spirited citizens, -and, we are thank
ful to say also, by wealthy citizens
who do not care to be classed as
stand-still Floridans or retrograding
Nevadans. In respect to the mainte-
nance and enlargement of the institu-
tions In which they are willing and
anxious as we'll as able to do business
On the Wisconsin or Minnesota plan.
In those States it has come to be the
fashion to ask: Glow much do you
need this year for your university or
your normal or your asylum" We
want to get rid Of the long prevalent
wheezy whine in South Dakota: How
little can such institutions struggle
along with this year?" or course,
everyone knows that, man against
man, insurgent against stalwart,
party against party even, all these in
situations will fare about the same,
no matter which wins in June or
November. But we do hope the
Stalwarts will not place themselves
In any false light. or be placed by
their declarations in any false position
at Huron or elsewhere, in regard to
this matter. The Republican party
has always headed the procession for
political, industrial, commercial and
any or all other forms of progression,
1t has been a positive party rather
than a negative %nonenity, 1T has
done things, not hindered their
accomplishment,-and the stalwart,
'stand-pat, simon pure portion Of it,
by all means, should strive to sustain
the proud record ever unbroken in its
fifty years of administrative history.
Waste and mismanagement Is one
thing and an indefensible thing; but
necessary expenditure even to a debt
creating extent Is another thing, and,
under the circumstances, quite the
proper thing. Economy is all right
parismony is all wrong. A live,
healthy, wealthy commonwealth will
easily meet its debts in due time; a
dead and dormant one-well, we don't
care to advertise u good State as
reduced to that low level just yet"

Mr.. and Mrs. Il. M. Mills are
mourning the loss Of their infant
who died Tuesday noon
Two weeks ago Monday this little
bud Of humanity came to gladden. the
Mills home and after fifteen days she
was taken by the Master to blossom
in the heavenly garden. The funeral
was held at the home Wednesday
afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev.
Green OF the Congregational church,
and the little white casket containing
the precious flower was borne from
the home by four little girls clad in
white. In their great sorrow, Mr..
and Mrs. Mills have the sympathy OF
a large circle Of friends and they have
the sweet consolation that Jesus said:
sSuffer little children to come unto
me-"
There's q pair of little hands,
Laid to rest forever more,
There's two pearly, dimpled cheeks.
Whose rich ~blossoming is DER;
Death has sealed two little eyes
That will no more smile or weep,
Tiny windows of the soul,
Little baby's gone to Sleep
There's another bud removed,
Ere It felt the blight of sin,
Through the door the angels make,
Darling baby has passed in;
Far beyond the azure skies.
Where tho tiny star eyes peep,
From all esrth's sad doubts and fears,
Little baby's gone to Sleep
"She will wake in fatrer lands,
Where the angel voices sing;
There the flow'ret shall expand.
There shall love perfection bring;
She has reached the golden Shore,
Through the river cold and deep.
Angels bore her safely there,
Little baby's gone to sleep"
CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to extend our sincere
thanks to the friends and neighbors
for their kindness and acts Of sym.
pathy during the illness and burial
of our darling baby, and especially dc
we thank the four little girls who
bore the little body to its final resting
place.
