compiling this history fer many years
and has documents that v the

Roosevelt at
Sioux Falls.
Thomas ThorsOn and Seth
Bullock Arrange Roose-
welt Route.

When it was learned that Colonel
Roosevelt would deliver IN address at
Sioux Falls, and that he would come
from Omaha to Sioux Falls owe the
Northwestern by a round about purse
Mr.. Thorson met U. S. Marshal
Bullock in Sioux Falls and these
friends of the EX-President thought
it would be better and more con-
venient for the distinguished visitor
to come up the Sioux Valley from
Sioux City instead of by the way of
Worthington. Mimi. Mr.. Thorson
decided to communicate with Col.
Roosevelt as to the change, and Mr..
Thorson's statement to a reporter of
the Press Tuesday tells what has
been done:
Thomas Thorson of Canton, nation
al republican committeeman for South
Dakota, was in Sioux Falls yesterday
and to a reporter for The Press he
exhibited a letter from William Is.
Rowland Of The Outlook Publishing
company of New York city in which
Mr.. Rowland states that it seems to
be possible to arrange for a longer
stay than was planned in Sioux Falls
for Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, upon
his western tour.
The stop of Mr.. Roosevelt in Sioux
| City will be for only about three
quarters of an hour, while it is ex-
| pected that he will reach Sioux Falls
at 4 O'Clock in the afternoon of Sat
urday, September 3, and remain here
until 1920 that evening, when he will
leave for the north on the regular
Omaha train.
Mr.. Thorson is also advised that the
matter of a special train for Mr..
Roosevelt over the Milwaukee from
Sioux City to Sioux Falls has been
taken up by Division Superintendent
B~eardsley of the Milwaukee and that
a daylight ride through the Sioux
Valley is q possibility. Mr.. Boards
ley has endorsed the request for a
special train, but has not endorsed
the idea of having it run through to
Sioux Falls without stops. He also
has not endorsed the idea of having
the train run as a local train, so that
it will not be possible for excursion
lists who want to come to Sioux Falls
on Roosevelt day, to come on the
same train with the distinguished ex-
president.
If the informant of. Mr.. Thorson is
we'll posted, Mr.. Roosevelt will have
1 about five hours in Sioux Falls and
that will give him an opportunity to
see the city, hold a reception and de-
liver an address.
The question Of special trains into
Sioux Falls for that date is being
worked out as rapidly as possible and
a very large number of people are
expected to come here for that occa-
sion.
The local committees on reception
and arrangements are at work and
everything will be in readiness 20
give Mr.. Roosevelt a very cordial re-
oopfiop

Death of Miss Hoover.

It's a month or more since Mrs. S,
E. Hoover, of Holabird, Hyde county
came to Canton for a visit with MI.
and Mrs. w. j. Byrnes, Mrs. Hoover
being a cousin of Mr.. Byrnes, and hel
daughter Emma, age Ia, came along
being an invalid at the time. The
young lady had a severe attack of
pneumonia last winter from the
effects of which she was suffering
when she came to Canton. 1t was
hoped the change would do her good
but instead of getting better she con
tinued to grow weaker from day tc
day until the Blessed Master took hel
home, the end coming on Friday
evening of last week. Mr.. Byrnes by
wire and auto succeeded in getting
Mr.. Hoover here before his beloved
daughter passed away.
The noble hearted kindness and
ca re of Mr.. and Mrs. Byrnes during
the mothers vigil owe the rapidly
sinking child is worthy Of the highest
praise. For a week or longer Mrs.
Byrnes sustained the sorrow stricken
mother with christian consolation
and hope for the future, and did all
that a loving motherly woman could
do ito comfort the grief stricken
mother as she watched her daughter
silently approach the brink Of
eternity.
The little wasted body vas placed
in a handsome casket and taken &c

s'This is the one bill hat should
appeal to the public, and because it
is such the public should understand
just how the legislation was framed,
what efforts were required to over
come the sordid, greedy influences of
the special interests and to whom
credid Is due for the success of these
efforts.
A LEGISLATIVE MONsTROsITY
mo such legislative monstrosity
had yer been proposed to the Ameri-
can congress by any administration
as the bill drawn by Attorney General
Wickersham and sent to the two
Houses by the President himself with
the announcement that it was his
bin and he wanted it passed without
amendment.
"This statement vas used by
Aldrich and Elkins in the Senate
committee on Interstate commerce
as a reason why no amendments to
the measure could be considered by
the committee. Manifestation of
opposition by the small but determin-
ed band of progressive Republicans
at the very beginning of the tight
caused the Attorney General to rush
to Chicago and deliver a speech there
for publication throughout the United
States, declaring, as a personal
representative of the President, that
any Republican who would dare to
| oppose the provisions Of the railroad
| bill ceased to be a Republican and
was not entitled to consideration or
support from Republican voters.
"It was an open attempt at intimi-
dation, In appeal by the administra-
tiOn to the voters to turn against the
men who were striving to protect the
int rest of the public, and a warning
to the independents that they would
be subjected to the aggressive hostility
Of the administration if they persisted
in attempts to modify or change the
Ubiquitous of the bill.
"These circumstances must be
borne in order that the result Of the
fight may be appreciated.

believing that the robber combines
should rule the country and levy
tribute through unjust tariffs and
corrupt combines. There car be no
lodging the issue.
The Vermillion Republican believes
that Cannonism is right, the LEADER
believes that Cannonism Is wrong,
and the LEADER Is ready to maintain
Its position in behalf OF justice.

ated Burke before the primary In

Dillon, a oppressive. Then 1t drop
ped Dillon and began shouting for
Burke. What was the considerations
Was 1t a post office or was it boobies
A progressive republican who is op'
posed to Cannon and Cannonism can
not support Burke or Martin unless
he repudiates the Roosevelt policies,
regulates his own convictions and
surrenders his right to manly, indie
pendent citizenship.
Burke and Martin will not repre-.
sent the progressive republicans OF
this state, hence, to support them
would be an outrage upon decent
politics and subject pr~ogressives to
the charge of qualification and COW
ardice.
The editor OF the LEADER has been
a resident of the territory and state
over forty years and has ever defend.
ed the rights OF the people against
machine bosses, corrupt politicians
and corporation abuses, and shall con-
tinue this line of action until the end.
Those who believe in Cannonism
and a robber tariff can vote for
Martin and Burke, those who are OPP
posed to Cannonism and the roDber
tariff can vote as they please.

Gering is in Scott's Bluff County,
away down in the southwest part of
the state where the North Platte
river rolls down to the Missouri. The
Platte valley here is very fertile aud
fine crops of sugar beetS, wheat, oats,
corn and potatoes are raised. lrrl-
gated land is worth 800 an acre,
while non-irrigated land sells for $40.
The Fiatte river is very low now
and has been low all summer owing
to little snow in the mountains last
winter. l waded across the river the
other day and found the water only
knee deep. The government is doing
a great work in this country building
irrigation dams and canals and carry
ing water Is miles away from the
river.
Scott's Bluff has a population of
1000. 1t is a good town and growing.
A large beet sugar mill is being
erected to care for the large supply of
beets raised in this county. One of
the bluffs near the town is 600 feet
high and very steep but l and a party
managed to climb it the other day,
and under the shade Of d stunted
cedar we enjoyed a good lunch while
gazing at the beautiful panorama
around US, and away to the west
mountain peaks showed up grandly.
The face of the cliff is very rough in
places but just the place for eagles to

proud birds looking after their nests.
