To the Voters of the City OF
Canton. s.. ID.

1t having been brought to my atten-
ton that my political enemies are
opposing me in my candidacy for may
or for tn e reason that l am a nephew
of John lsakson who Is interested in
the Canton Genera, Electric Light
Co., and that If L were to become
mayor that l would favor said COM
pany by voting it a franchise and
otherwise favoring it.
l wish to say that under the Com
mission plan OF Government for cities
which l heartily favor. and which I
voted for at the recent election the
law expressly provides: (See Oh. SO
Sec. 124 Session Laws Of South Dakota
for 1907 that no franchise shall be
granted to any public utility, authoriz-
ing any Person or Corporation, to
occupy any Of the streets, alleys or
public places of the city, without
first submitting the proposition as to
whether such franchise should be
granted to a vote Of the electors of
the city, and no such franchise shall
be granted unless approved by a
majority vote of the electors of the
city.
In so far as the Commission has
power to regul late and fix the price
of electric light and telephone service

False Economy.

John D. Rockefeller, ere he adopted
the policy of silence, said one day to a
reporter:
Young men must not think hat I
advocate miserly habits. Economy l
advocate, of course, but wise spending
I advocate, too. The miser, laying
nothing out, car never advance. In
fact. the miser has no better under
standing OF economy than little Tom
my Witherill of Cleveland has. Tom
my listened to a lesson on economy
from his father one day. He learned
that nothing good or whole was ever
to be thrown away and SO forth, and
that evening he came in to supper
swinging by the tail a fragrant dead
cat.
Look, father he said. Look what
I found on the dump-a perfectly good
cat that somebody throwed away"

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

A Few Reasons Why Doctors Are
Able to Mako n Living.
How does that doctor make a liv-
ing? / can't understand how he has
a single patient" How man. times
that remark is made in the course
of a year about how many physicians'
DR.. Abraham Jacob, of New York,
veteran of the medical profession, an
swers the question thus:
How do we doctors succeed in gain
ing and holding the confidence of our
patients? We are not equal in learn
ing, skill, or character, in looks, or
habits; and still we all make a living.
The best explanation is the fact that
the public, u patients, are as differ
ent as we are. In u ranks we have
the most astounding, and the queerest
varieties of physical. moral and intel
lectual features. Still, we all get
of knowledge which he uses more or
less conscientiously, or the reverse.
may be successful in practice.
Our ranks are filled with the young
md the old. Some are good looking,
or ugly, or tall, or short. Some are
dancers, sports, golfers, horsemen,
know bridge and are the premiere
heater visitors. Some talk philosophy.
music, gossip with or without quota
lions. Others frequent funerals and
churches, and have the speciality of
being called out. Some are serious,
Or boistefous or joviai, bearded, clean
shaven. perfumed with cologne-not
frequently-or tobacco, which is fire.
Guent. Some have finger nails mani
cured, some with mourning rings.
Some talk in plain language, some are
refined. Most have correct habits. L
have known those. however, who owed
large family practices to their spirit
uous capacities; you would judge how
bright they would be IL only sober!
Some succeed because they are
optimistic; others because they are
pessimistic in diagnosis and prognosis.
There are those who become popular
because they have their waiting room
crowded and their telephone in an up
roar, not to speak Of those who fill
their place with shiny and noisy tools
and call themselves specialists. Some
are loud and imperious; some whisper
with o~bsequious %servility.
Some obtain practice because they
have become married; there are those
who rely on their Dictatorship. I
know one at least who told me smil-
ingly that his large practice among
rich people and mothers Of families
was due to his being in the market

to Rome, SO there are many modes, or
methods, or characteristics, or peculi-
arities that gain favor in the eyes Of

America leads the whole world by
q big margin in the building Of rail-
ways" said Henry 8. Thomas, of New
York city, a railway constructor, re-
Gently. "Out of a total of nearly $780,
600 miles Of railway in the world,
nearly half are On the North American
continent. Europe has nearly 200,0 900
miles, while Africa has only about 49,
900. The smallest mileage is in Aus
t%ralasia, which has approximately IT,
900 miles of tracks. South America
possesses nearly $4,000 miles.
"In South America will be the great
est development of the future in the
railroad building business. Immense
stretches Of country remain in that
vast continent, which need only the
iron horse to develop them. This is
especially SO in Brazil and Argentina.
Mexico yet remains to be covered with
a complete network of steel rails like
the United States possesses.
Statistics for the last year show
that there has been extraordinary &C
tivity in building railways in nearly
every country on the globe. the largest
gain being, as usual, in North Amer

especially in descriptive work, and
pieces requiring lone quality that he
was most brilliant. OF the latter,
''The Death of Aase" by Greig was
perhaps best played and most appre-
ciated. With Schumann's "Reveric"
he took rather toe many liberties. In
the three great descriptive pieces for
the violin, Tneobaldi initiated to per-
lection, especially the sounds of birds,
the bleating of sheep, and the lowing
of COWS. Into these pieces were also
woven some of the beautiful Nor
wegian folk tunes, which he played
with the feeling hat only a Nor

where the demand grew more insistent
that Mr.. ThorSon must run for
congress in order that Mr.. Burke
should be compelled to stay at home,
and the demand grew so persistent
that Mr.. ThQrson finally consented to
run that South Dakota might be
represented by a man who would
represent the people.
There IS not a more popular man in
the state than Thomas Thorson, be-
cause everybody likes him for his
splendid manhood: for his courage
when courage is needed; for his abso-
lutte fairness on all questions; for his
long and splendid battle against the
bosses and their corrupt rule; for his
refusal to count out the successful
candidate for governor, presidential
electors and congressman In 1896 when
the machine demanded this disgrace
under the leadership of Kittredge; for
his unseltish support Of every good
man who sought office in a just cause
and finally because all who know him
love him for his loveable qualities as
a citizen. Is it any wonder that the
people demand his leadership in a
cause which means SO much for the
people?
Thomas Thorson will be nominated
and elected to congress and the cause
Of good government will find him a
champion such as the people love to
honor.
From all over the state cOngratu-
lations are pouring in upon Mr..
Thorson, telling how pleased all are
with his decision to run for congress,
and of the loyal and hearty support he
will receive everywhere in the district.
Mr.. Thorson's majority will be
worthy the man and the glorious
cause he represents, and we believe he
will get every republican vote in
Lincoln county.

An old friend of pioneer days has a
good word to say for Thomas Thorson
for Congress in a letter to the editor
of the Sioux Falls Posten. He writes
as follows:
Fruithurst, Ala, March oath, 1910.
Dear Editor:
In a recent issue of your paper !
note with much pleasure that Mr..
Thos. ThorSon of Canton has decided
to become a candidate for Congress as
a progressive republican.
l wish to thank you, MI. Editor, for
your kind words of endorsement of
my old friend, and l can assure you
that, whether MI. Thorson is elected
or not, you will always find him to be
the same friendly, honorable and
faithful friend. whether it be in
politics or business, and I hope that
you will give him all the support you
can in the campaign.
Together with many others I had
formed plans for Mr.. Thorson's ad-
vancement long before the present
time, but u plans could lot be
carried out at that time. Political
conditions may be somewhat more
complicated now than formerly, but
yet l believe that with the thousands
of faithful friends throughout the
state, who will rally to the support of
Mr.. Thorson, he will come out Of the
present campaign with the crown of
victory.
1t is now nearly forty years since l
first formed the acquaintance of Mr..
Thorson. We were both pioneers in
different counties of northwestern
Iowa. He was a delegate to the state
convention from his county, and l
from mine. We both worked for our
common interest, the welfare of the
pioneers. In this convention there
was an excellent opportunity for us
young, optimistic novices in politics.
The strife was strenuous, and the
methods that soI-e used to get control
of affairs we're anything but honor
able. But nevertheless, the control
of the convention was finally wrested
from the hands of the corrupt ele-
ment. This was highly gratifying to
US beginners in the role of politicians,
for the result was that our cause won
out. We hear with regret of graft
throughout the land to-day, but it
seems to me that corrupt practices
we're more prevalent in the early
