The Marriages Of Brahmnns.

The rules of caste are strict as to mar
rage, and this is especially so as to the
Brahmans. The daughter Of a pork-pack-
ing millionaire could never marry duke in
this country. The Brahman thinks he con-
descends II he looks upon woman of a
caste below him, and as a rule marriages
are made only in the caste and i'm the d.
visions of the castles to which one belongs
This leads to the union Of cousins and the
consequent degeneration of the race.
AS to marriages, the code of Manu- is
rigid especially as to the selection of wife
by the twice-born. There are certain fam
lilies which the Brahmans must avoid no
matter. how rich they may be. The code
advises him to wed a female free from
bodily defects one with small teeth and
soft limbs, moderate quantity - hair and
the gait of an elephant Let him beware OF
the maiden with reddish hair or who has
no hair at all or who Is sickly or red-eyed
He must marry In his own caste, but not
to one of the same family on the fathers
side. Relation on the part of the mother
does not seem to matter.

that they will suffer pain and death rather

The Parting Of the Ways.

Harmony will not come to the Re
publican party by the agreement of a
few men in Congress. The Republi-
can party does not and never did
reside in the White House except in a
representative capacity. The Repub-
lican party does not and never did
reside in Congress, except in a repre-
sentative capacity. 1t lives in the
hearts and purposes of the American
people, and harmony will come when
ever we return to the old theory of
recognizing the voice of the people as
the voice of the party.
The trouble is that we have come
upon time when we forget that the
secret of Lincoln's success was not
along Lincoln's greatness but his de-
sire to wait that he might reflect the
purpose of the people. We forget
that we have come to a point when
the time honored policy, the very
basic law Of the autonomy of the Re
publican party, is violated; when the
policies of that party are proposed to
be handed down instead OF being re-
ceived from the party itself There
is the secret of our misfortune; there
is the secret of our dissension! And
if everyone of us could hold up our
hands and swear eternal allegiance to
the dictum of any one it would not
harmonic the contending forces that
lie in the background, and of which
we are but the representatives.
would hate to belong to political
party that had dead level. of intel
lectuallity and which was never
ruffied by independent thought. We
must have differences. 1t is right
that we should have. In differences
and debates therefrom we get the
best results. Nor is there any reason
why honest differences should result
in bitterness.
We stand to-day at the parting oi
the ways. Not the parting within
and among those who may feel them
selves the self-constituted leaders Of
the Republican party, but between
us as party and the people will
come the parting, unless we heed
what we know to be the will of the
people. Senator Moses E. Clapp in

Democratic as Republican. Texas,

ism; Florida, with Broward and Tai

the same inspiration and purpose that
have produce Cummins and Dolliver
in Iowa, Bristow in Kansas, Foss in
Massachusetts,, La Toilette in Wis
consin, and Beveridge in Indiana.
No, insurgency is not party affair.
1t is a national arousal of conscience.
1t is the worldold fight of the Many
for an even chance with the Few. 1t
is a contest of classes as TRULY as was
the fight for Magma Charta; contest

Insurgency recognizes that political
feudalism has been succeeded by in

the people to relize this and to remedy
it. 1t is optomistic enough to believe
that if the people of King Johns day
could win freedom, those of the twent-
ieth century can do as much.

canoe of the new movement when we
realize that all these insurgents, by
whatever name they call themselves
today are lighting for the same end:
The overthrow of money control of
our affairs.

There is much complaint about
reckless auto driving in the country.
No machine should be forced past a
frightened team and the auto driver
can easily determine the spirit of a
team before it is too late to lessen the
danger. Many people have been in
jured and many killed by runaway
teams caused by the cold biooded in
difference OF auto drivers who have
no regard for the rights of those who
drive teams. A man with fright
ened team has no chance to punish
reckless drivers.

Olsen--Petterson Wedding.

A very happy home wedding took
place last Sunday at 5 p. M, at the
residence of the brides mother, Mrs.
f. b. Peterson, in Dayton township,
when Mr. Joseph Olsen and Miss
Emma Peterson were united by Rev.

of the bride and groom and few
intimate friends were present to wit
ness the ceremony, and the relatives
alone numbered about thirty.
A grand wedding dinner was served
at 6, after which Mr.. Olsen and his
beautiful bride were driven to Sioux
Falls in Mr.. K f.. Jacobson's auto,
with Ernest Olsen, a brother of the
groom, as company for Mr.. Jacobson.
Mr.. Olsen and bride left for ST. Pau

moon amid the charms OF nature in
Northern Minnesota.
The bride and groom were both
born in Dayton township, and their
parents were among the prominent
pioneers of the county. The bride is
a charming young woman, prominent
socially and worthy the love of the
best man or earth. The groom is
prominent in social and business
circles and is member of the cloth
ing firm of Olsen Brothers of this city,
and has large real estate interests in
the western part of the state.
The LEADER joins a host of friends
in extending congratulations to Mr..
and Mrs. Olsen, and all wish them
a pleasant wedding trip and safe re-
turn.

Plows Field With Dynamite

j. Henry Caldwell, of Spartanburg,
N. c., is the first man to utilize COM
mercial dynamite in plowing land.
The method of planting the cartridges
was simple; one man walked ahead
with a crowbar and stuck it into the
ground about three feet; the man
following affixed percussion cap to
the stick of dynamite and two feet
of fuse and tramped it into the hole
with rake handle finally leaving only
the white fuse protruding. Ineiden-
tally the dynamite used was of the
strength ordinarily used for blasting
|stumps and is not as costly as that
used in quarries for the removing of
rock.
After the planting of the dynamite
charges large crowd of the native
population gathered near the field of
operations to witness what they
regarded as the novel whim of one of
their most progressive farmers. The
negroes of the locality did not know
what to make of the proceedings and
looked with awe upon the operations
calculated to wrench from nature the
productive crops she refused to yield
to their simple methods. The explod-
ing of the charged field was not with
out it's amusing side. Many of the
nearby neighbors hearing that several
hundred pounds of dynamite were to
be exploded removed household be-
longings and adjourned to their
fartherest premises, window frames
were taken out and the sheriff in
structed to hold up the exploding of
the charged field, made formal call
upon Mr.. Caldwell to come to an
agreement in regard to the inevitable
damages which the neighbors felt
sure would ensue.
In exploding the field, four rows
were set off at time, one man going
rapidly down each row lighting fuses
with a red hot iron as he went. The
result was not unlike the setting off
of great bunch of frecrackers The
explosions came thick and fast and
both the sub and surface soils were
sent into the air in clouds again falling
on the land in a powdery mist and
leaving periodical holes where the
cartridges were planted about foul
and a half feet deep. In one CASE
where twelve rows were set Off at the
same time the effect was quite awe
inspiring, the reports were blended
into continuous roar and the row Of
d dozen men lighting fuses were pur
sued by an ever rising wave of soil
The danger to the men lighting tn,
fuses is trifling as is shown by th'
photographs taken of the operations
After the charges are exploded the
field looks not unlike great colande
set with innumerable holes where tn,
charges of dynamite we're set, ant
and the soil is broken up into unu
sually fine particles and well aerated
1t is necessary to 60 over the tielt
once more with cultivator' before
the crops are put in and then tn,
operation is essentially like tn,
ordinary farming methods. From
