Cottages at Soldiers Home

Many veterans have made inquiry
concerning the erection of cottages
on the home grounds to be occupied
by the veteran who might furnish
money to erect said home.
There are twenty cottages on the
home ground built by the state and
all occupied, but owing to a shortage
In this direction veterans have made
application for the privilege of erect
ing cottages at their own expense and
to be occupied by the builders during
life. To meet this desire of any vete-
ran the board of commissioners at
their regular meeting held at Hot
Springs last week passed the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved:-Having received demands
beyond the holdings of the state for
cottages for old soldiers and their
wives, it is ordered that any old
soldier and wife, entitled to admission,
who wish to enter the Home, who
will contribute the sum of six hundred
dollars, the management is author
lied to construct a good two room
cottage such as is provided by the
state and to be finished in good work
manlike manner with porches and
approaches, to be occupied by the
soldier and his wife so contributing
for the term of their natural life and
by no one so long as either may live,
md RI rnooiv va M a irtaro noa from fho
state, including clothing for the
soldier, sc long as they may live and
comply with all rules and regulations
governing the Home, said cottage to
revert to the state at the death of
said soldier and wife.
The above resolution to take pre-
cedence over any previous resolution
now on record az to building of
cottages.

senator Beveridge lnsurgent.

United States Senator Beveridge OF
Indiana, Of the youngest and also
one Of the ablest members Of the
senate, opened the republican cam
paign In Indiana Tuesday with a
speech that will echo like a trumpet
blast to the advancing republican
hosts all over the nation.
It sounds like . call to arms from
Roosevelt. and It serves notice on the
r0bber tariff barons that the people
are In arms to demand a square deal
Ut Washington.
Tho republicans of Indiana refused
to endorse the Payne-Aldrich tariff
and their attitude serves notice on
the interests that the tariff law must
be revised and made TO- comply with
the demands Of the people, and the
i've last words Of his speech quoted
below tells the stOry-''and 1t shall
b written"
Il WAS a.bold and manly challenge
to the corrupt interests who are to-
day plundering the people through
the aid Of Cannon and Aldrich, and
every lover OF justice and q square
deal will wish Mr.. Beveridge success
In his glorious campaign against the
enemies OF good government.
Senator Beveridge has sounded the
keynote OF the coming struggle be-
tween the interests apd the people
which will be taken up and proclaim
q throughout the land by every

For Mayor and Commissioners.

The editor has been absent in the
Black Hills for ten days and comes
home to find the coming city election
occupying considerable attention, IS
it should, and finds six good men in
the race for commissioners, towit:
Messrs. 7. J. Knowlton, Jerome Hawn,
T. J.. Hansen, John Benz, Jonas Gray
and S. Tossini. All Of them are
prominent citizens and men entitled
to the fullest confidence Of our peo-
pie. The LEADER could vote for all
of them cheerfully but as only four
are to be chosen, hence two of the
number will fail of election even if
there should be a tie all around.
The duties of the commissioners are
extensive and the salaries not Of the
Standard Oil measure, yet any man
elected must give whatever time his
duties demand largely as a progressive,
patriotic citizen, hence no man
should run for Office under the COM
mission plan who is not able and will
ing to give his time freely. We
believe every man named is prepared
to meet the public obligations de-
manded with a square deal, pro-
gressive spirit. There is no politics
in this NATTER, or at least there
should be none, because the COM
mission form Of city government calls
for modern business methods, and the
people must select the commissioners.
For Mayor we find Adolph Bragstad
and Carl Tank in the field. Both are
prominent young business men
There is no use in carrying this
matter into charges as to what any
of them would or would not do If
elected. Let the electors decide the
issue without strife as we need a
united business interest to build up
the city.
The candidates for mayor and com
missioners are all capable, honorable
gentlemen, and have the best inter-
eStS of the City at heart.

for 1t now" MI. Beverage made an
impassioned defense OF the counts on
which he had based his vote in the
senate against the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill, which he did not call by
name.
"Like President Taft, / wanted
free iron ore, Of which We have the
greatest deposit On earth and which
the steel trust chiefly controls" he
said. II could not stand for the duty
that was passed and l cannot stand
for 1t now.
Like President Taft, / wanted
many raw materials that needed no
protection put on the free list. Yet
non was so treated.
Like President Taft. l wanted the
wooden schedule reduced. 1T gives to
the wooden trust unfair control and
raises the price and reduces the
weight of the peoples clothing. l
stood against this schedule when the
bill was passed, and stand against it
now.
81 could not stand for the duty on
lumber when the tariff bill was passed,
and 1 cannot stand for 1t now.
81 stood against the increase of the
duty on cotton goods, and l stand
against it now.
"The reduction of the tariff on raw
sugar is a deception, but it cannot
affect the price. Yet, that is one of
the boosted reductions we hear Of.
"These are examples of increases.
/ vas against them then and i am
against them now. From few, If any,
of the decreases do the people get the
slightest benefit.
81 was for a law that would have
protected the wages of every working
mar in Indiana and yet enable that
working man to get his clothing and
creature comforts cheaper-and such
a law could have been written, and it
shall be written"

Mr.. MILFORD Adams is his name, and
he writes about it.-"Some time ago
I was confined to my bed with chronic

effect, and the third bottle put me

The

John w. Titcomb, of the United
States bureau of fisheries, said recent
ly of a fishing excursion:
Il once made a fishing excursion to
a stream that flowed behind a lunatic
asylum. AS l sat and smoked on the
bank, watching my cork. l noticed a
strange object floating down towards
me with the current. 1 saw that it
was a man. He had ALI his clothes on,
and he was swimming in the strangest
way. l verify believe every part Of
him was submerged but one nostril.
"Hi!' l shouted, what are you do
ing there?'
HE lifted his head from beneath the
surface, and then, before drawing it
under again, he snapped:
"'Sh-sh! Don't interfere! I'm a
submarine"

Remembering Joe Parmley's pro-
pensity for asking questions when he
was a member of the legislature, the
stalwarts of South Dakota are using
him as a question mark in this cam
paign. But Governor Wesley seems
to have erased him and substituted a
comma in his place.-Sioux City
Tribune.

BETTER WATCH HIS REGULARS.

Sioux City Tribune: Mr.. Taft might
better give his energies to prodding
his regulars than to lecturing us, wes-
tern insurgents. They need watch
ing and we do not need caudling. 1t
will have no more effect on us than
did Mrs. Caudle's lectures upon Joe.
Mr.. Taft has shrunk his legislative
program for this session to four heads,
postal savings, statehood, commerce
law amendment and conservation.
Bills covering all these. originating
either with him or by members of
congress. have been introduced, refer
red to committees and, except as to the
commerce law and postal savings, are
still in committee.
The committee of the House and
Senate were selected, those of the
former by Cannon, those of the latter
by Hale's steering committee. Their
chairmen and largely their member
ship, are regulars. 1t was said, and
not denied, that Mr.. Taft allied him
self with the regulars because they
pledged themselves to put his meas
ures through congress. Congress has
been in session over four months,
time enough to have redeemed the
pledge in full.
The, largest Of these measures Is the
one covering the subject of c%onserva-'
tion, largest In Importance to the
public both Of to day and of the.
future. It contested with. the tariff
for paramountcy in public opinion.
The insurgents are eager for it. The
president Is undoubtedly sincere in its
support.
Eight bills have been drawn, pre-
scented and referred, dealing with the
different phases of conservation. One
validates Withdrawals and authorizes
future ones. One provides for the
classification Of lands according to
their chief value for use. A third
covers the case Of agricultural lands
OVERLAPPING coal. A fourth relates to
water power sites and their disposal.
The fifth covers the drainage ofswamp
lands. The sixth provides money for
irrigation. The seventh repeats the
old timber act and substitutes one
regulating disposal of timber. The
last provides for forest reserves on
watersheds of rivers.
Correspondents in Washington are
unanimous In reporting danger to all
these measures, "It would seem that
nothing but an unmistakable demand
from the public will move congress to
act," writes Of these. Powerful
interests, he says, are trying to per-
suade legislators to smother these
measures.
Members Of the committee In charge
Of the bills are either doing nothing
or squabbling v them. influential
members say that unless Taft brings
unusual pressure to bear upon these
committees the whole program will
be shelved.
In view Of this situation, what folly
It Is to bring executive pressure to bear
upon the insurgents, to cease their
protest against the tariff as an honest
redemption of pledges, while being
openly defied and resisted by the very
men who promised him their aid and
with whom he cast his political for
tunes. He may far better prod his
regulars and leave the insurgents
alone.

1t is a somewhat curious fact that
the English-speaking nations own
nearly all the worlds productive gold
mines.
Thus England, with Its Canadian,
Australian and South African mines,
is credited with 81 per CEN and the
United States with %, making an ag-
gregate of S3 per cent, while all the
rest of the world gets the remaining
II per cent.
According to the statistics for 1907,
the amount of gold mined in the whole
world was, 19,764,O78 ounces, valued
at nearly 100000 900, of which $34s,-
000,0 00 worth was produced on the soil

and follow them off into the woods.
Through the telescope Jack watched
the fire creeping out upon the trestle.
Then Dave came running back mo
USE" was his verdict. "A tree must
have fallen across the wires somewhere
down the mountain or they have been
grounded somehow We'd never find
where the trouble is in the dark. And
look, 1t is going TO rain"
'Thatll put out the fire." thought
Jack. But, great Scott what will
happen to No los if she comes along
afterward and plunges into the burned
trestler
A glance at Dawes face told Jack
that the same terrible thought had
flashed into his mind.
The two stared at each other a mo-
ment in silence. Then Jack sprang to
his feet. Dave we've got to get word
to that operator. We've got to go
ourselVes-nowv
Just as he spoke a thunder clap
growled in the distance Through the
glass the boys saw the flames of the
trestle bend low before the wind, like
trees In a storm.
Jack set the light in the watch tower,
for the engineers sometimes reckoned
by 1t, while Dave got out the rain
coats since the drops were pattering
on the roof and without another word
the boys started out of the cabin and
down the trail.
Running, then jumping suddenly and
digging their heels into the loose shale
the boys slid along for yards at time
maintaining balance with outspread
arms, so they soon cleared the rocky
portion OF the trail, but by the time
they reached the forest the storm had
already broken.
With everything I'm motion the ia :
miliar forest was almost as bewilder-
ing as a place seen for the first time,
for old landmarks were confused by
the distortions the wind wrought
among tossing and broken boughs.
Already several trees were down across
tho trail and the boys lost time by taxi
ing wrong paths and working their
way painfully back,
A little farther on the rain began to
beat through the drenched canopy Of
limbs Still tho two plunged on, The
first stream they crossed was swollen
and treaeherous with rolling stones,
and here Dave slipped. to emerge
finally wet To the arms.
Around the next bend In the trail
the wind struck fierce and sharp and
puffed out the lantern. Here the boys
paused. catching their breath and
peering down the canyon below them,
at whose far end should have been seen
