justice and good government, the
LEADER will stand for it to the bit
ter end, but majority rule, such as
has made Cannonism odious, the
LEADER will oppose it to the limit.
The progressive policies fought for
by such men Is Roosevelt, Cummins,
Dolliver, Clapp, La Toilette, and 9TH
ers, means the destruction of special
privilege, and those who support the
system that is rObbing the people
must expect 10 quarter from men
who are trying to protect the people
and save the party from ruin.
When men like Martin and Burke
line up with Cannon and C%annonism,
they do not represent the people of
their own state and are not entitled
to progressive republican support at
the polls, and the editor of the Re-
public should learn the difference be-
tween an honest vote and a purchased
vote, such as gave Sibley his nomina-
tion in Pennsylvania.
Majority rule is only right when it
represents good government, and even
President Taft is taking water on
"the best tariff ever passed."
Obedience to bosses and big inter
ests has we'll nigh ruined the republi-
can party, and the tricksters were
ever shouting "majority rule but a
few brave, honest men, like LaFoll-

What Is the Brother After?

Beresford Republic:-C Col. Linn of
the Farmers Leader, Canton, renoun-
ces Congressman Burke and Martin,
and is becoming so stirred up in his
wrath that he is resorting to calling
names. He forgets that we live in 4
country of majority rule, and when
an editor submits to the will of the
majority. he is not of necessity a tool.
The editor of the Leader did not bolt
the matter until it went different
than he wished, and now he is ready
to declare almost anything. Because
MeSsrs. Burke and Martin lean to the
stalwart side of the faction, the
astute colonel declares that a vote for
them will be a vote for C%annonism,
and the perpetuity Of a robber tariff,
In this, he is plainly seeing things.
We would refer him to Mr.. Martins
announcement of last February in
which he declared that he will not
support Cannon for reelection, and
declares that the tariff needs still
more attention. 1t is difficult, too, to
see the sincerity Of Bro. Inns
action, inaSmuch as to renOunce the
Republican nominees means to favor
the Democratic, and while Mr.. Soule
has endeavored to capture some OF
the insurgent votes by a policy of be-
ing a neal Republican, he is still a
Democrat, and while worse things
might be said of a man than that he
is a Democrat, the colonel as an ap-
pointee of Gov. Vessey would scarcely
wish to be placed in this class. 1t
seems to be pretty hard to run the
state just to suit the veteran editor
of the LEADER at all times.
j. The editor of the Beresford Repub-
lie believes, according to the above
editorial, that majority rule must
not be disturbed, eve If majority
rule is secured through bribery and
corruption.
Joe Sibley of Pennsylvania won out
on the majority rule believed in by
the Republic, by corrupting the cleo
torate to the tune of $42 200, or four
dollars a head, but an outraged public
conscience compelled Joseph to pull
out of the race and he now, faces
criminal prosecution. According tc
the Republics view Sibley should
have been allowed to go on corruptine
for the standard oil and against the
people.
Majority rule, secured through q
corrupt bargain, made Joe Cannon
Speaker, but Cannon's majority rule
is doomed and the men who put hin
In office and secured the fruits of in.
fancy have turned against him, anG
the old fellow goes down to defeat iI
the house Of his friends, a fit ending
for majority rule such as the Republic
seems willing to support blindly.
II majority rule is in the interest O

Gov. Vessey and Seed Corn

Governor Wesley, aver mindful OF
has issued a proclamation urging the
farmers to set aside two days this
month, September 8 and 10 for the
purpose of selecting seed corn.
We are glad the Governor has taken
up this matter and given 1t his official
sanction, because so much depends
on good seed corn since South Dakota
has become q of the corn belt
states. South Dakota, on the first
day Of August. was given credit by
government officials as leading all the
states in corn, and barring storms OF
other calamities, South Dakota will
stand No. l in the corr record for the
year. The LEADER Is especially proud
Of this as the LEADER has been
F., pounding better seed and better corn
into the people Of this state for ten
years. The LEADER is the original
corn boomer in the state and Is
mighty proud of having done its
share In this great work, and the
LEADER and John w. Bremen are
. the original promoters of the insti-
tute work now in operation under
: the direction of the Agricultural
College, and Prof. Lawrence of Lin
coin county is entitled to the credit
= for corn contests among the scholars
- in rural schools and for domestic
- science contests among girls In rural
schools, and the LEADER and the Lin
n coin county corn boomers will con-
=, tinue the good work because we be-
lieve there is yet much to be learned
about corn and its cultivation.
We are very glad Gov. Vessey has
- taken so much interest in b matter
and his request that our farmers Sc
cure their seed corn on Friday ana
Saturday, September 8 and 10, VIII 90
' much towards completing q very M
D portant work at a given time. Inc
LEADER hopes every farmer In Lin
e coin county can say on Saturday
night, September 10, IT have my seed
corn picked for 1911."

who seek office for plumber and glory.
When men who will represent the
people Of this state are nominated
the LEADER will support them, and
when the republican state convention
found it could not endorse these men
why should the LEADER assume to be
a better republican than the party
platform.

with an eye to business, bought the
W. N. Leffert farm Of 800 acres three
and a half miles north of town last
week through the Dean & Helgerson
agency, paying s1l0 an acre for the
farm, one of the best in the county.

IRRIGATION BOND BILL
PASSED IN THE HOUSE
Now Goes to the Senate,
Where Its Adoption as
Amended Is Assured.

President Taft rang the bull s-eye again
last niaht when the House OF Represent
atives, by a vote of 80 to %. passed the
bill providing for the issuance OF eertln-
Gates to the amount of $20.000OOO to pro-
vide a fund for the completion OF recla-
nation projects already begun. The
House adjourned Immediately after the
vote, at a quarter past 10. The measure
now goes to the Senate, where its pas
sage is assured.
Originally the Senate passed such
measure, although it carried provision for
an issue aggregating $3O,OOOOOO, as an
amendment to the land withdrawal bill,
one of the conservation measures IA
vored by the President The House was
disinclined to authorize the issue at all
and the proposition was turned down Dy
the House ways and means commlttee.
But when the Senate took action and IT
was realized that unless the House fell
in line the session would probably be de-
layed, the ways and means committee
got together and agreed on cut OF $40
GOO. 600 below the Senate figures. which
that body finally agreed to stand for
Under a Special Rule.
The bill was considered in the House
yesterday under a special rule reported
from the committee on rules. which per-
mitted a two-hour general debate on the
measure and two-hour debate for amend
ment. Many motions proposing changes
in the bill were offered by republicans
and democrats-mostly democrats-but
all were voted down by comfortable ma
jorities. Finally the bill passed as re-
ported from the committee, the twenty
votes in opposition. with one exception,
being registered by democrats. The lone
republican exception was Representative
Cassidy of Ohio, formerly clerk OF the
House rivers and harbors committee, who
succeeded Representative Theodore Bur-
ton Of Cleveland when the latter was
elected to the Senate.
Under the terms of the measure the GER
tificates of indebtedness are to be taken
up from payments made by settlers for
water to be supplied by the government
for the irrigation of arid and semi-arid
lands in the west Much Of this land 10
already settled in anticipation OF the FUR
nishing OF water by the government ana
some Of the settlers are in straightened
circumstances because of the delay In
the completion Of existing irrigation
projects.

CARPENTERS STRIKE
ADDS TO HARD FEELING
Row Between Brotherhood
and AmaIgamated ASso.
citation Ten Years Old.

The carpenters strike in this city.
those interested say, has served to en-
bitter The controversy which has been in
progress for about ten years between the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
and the Amalgamated Association of Car
penters, rival trade bodies Both have
representation in the Central Labor
Union and each claims the right of way
as a loyal trades union.
The situation today is that the men,
bers of the Amalgamated are continuing
at work while the members of the Broth
erhood are out on strike. James l.. Par
sons. president of the Builders League.
composed of employers. declared today
that the Amalgamated Association was in
the right.
Why" Mr. Parsons said, 1.-The Anal
gamated made it's demand for the Satur-
day half-holiday with increased pay be-
fore the Brotherhood called its men out
on strike. The Amalgamated wanted the
half-holiday to begin at once. and the in
crease of ten cents an hour to go into
effect next year. The Builders League
consented to the half-holiday proposition
and the officers Of the Amalgamated met
the employers half way on the increase
Of wages proposition. 1t was agreed
that an increase Oh ON SGAtS I'll AiSSA
should 20 into effect in 1911.
This was satisfactory to the members
of that organization and they signed
agreements with the bosses to continue
at work They are now carrying out
that agreement.
Refused to Accept.
Now comes the Brotherhood with its
dmands for the Saturday half-holiday
and a greater advance in pay. The
Builders League offered Its men the same
terms that the Amalgamated men are
working under, but they refused to ac-
cent them We offered to shorten the
time until February IL next when the
increase of pay should go into effect,
but the officers of the Brotherhood re-
fused to accept. demanding the increase
now or nothing"
President Parsons added that the
Amalgamated workmen were fulfilling
their agreement with the employers
and mot one Of them will 80 out at
the behest Of the brotherhood and thus
violate that agreement with the Build
ers' League
