Prof. Lawrence Cheered.

Prof. Lawrence was invited to
attend a republican rally at Web
ster. Day county, last week, and had
very enjoyable trip, injecting h un-
dreds of people who knew him by rep.
utatlon because they had read of his
splendid work in Lincoln county. The
speakers were Gov. Vessey, John l..
Schrader, Willis Benedict, Prof. Law
renee.
Insurgency is rampant in that form
er stalwart stronghold and former
StalWartS have turned strong progress
Slves and are WhOOping it up for the
progressive ticket
According to the Webster World
Prof. Lawrence was received with
cheers when he appeared on the
platform. He told,Ihat big audience
that he was not very trong on politics
but when it came to educating the
boys and girls Of the rural schools
along lines III corn growing and bread
baking, he was given another splendid
administration, and then he told
them how the Lincoln county
boys and girls had taken up this work
and Of the prOsre made. After the
meeting hundreds assured him of
their support, for they wanted this
practical education carried on in
every county in the state and he was
the man to do it as State Superinten-
dent. Prof. Lawrence says that
wherever he goes he finds the
people deeply Interested in the rural
school contests held in Lincoln
county, and fathers and mothers
everywhere are anxious that their
boys be taught how 10 raise corn and
the girls how to bake and sew, in
addition to what is taught in the
rural school. Thomas Thorson,
though not at the Webster meeting,
had a host Of warm friends there and
pronounced stalwartS are going to
support him in that corner of the
state. 1t pays to be a champion of
the people, and it pays TO help the
boys and girls in the rural schools.

Sold out for 81. 900

From Brookings comes the detes-
table intelligence that Paul Butchers
Brookings Register has sold
out; sold out not it's business and
material, but its principles and
editorial influence ce-practically Fall
that is considered sacredkby the ave-
rage newspaper man. Sold out! Dia-
bolic spectacle! 8 But what intensifies
the disgust of the ..transaction3 is the
information which comes from
absolutely reliable authority, that
the priceipaid was only. $1,000. Sold
for $1,000! 1t only took. .one Thousand
dollar bills to. induce Paul butcher to
forsake the principles he cherished
was sacred until recently, and en-
brace those he formerly hated. Only
$1,000 stood between him and the
pretended object Of his hatred. Had
the progressive element been willing
to pay the price, no doubt the
Register would still be onthe old firing
line in this campaign. This Is true
because it was his own proposition to
the progressives.
Often we hear%.of soldiers hanged
for deserving their ranks, but what
shall we do with the general, who,
for pitiful price turns his guns over
to the enemy, and that just at the
approach of decisive conflict?
Sold for sl,OOO-body, soul and
'britches," hide and hair!
Infamous transaction! 1t is moth
ing less than crime against the
laudible profession of journalism.
What can 1.-THE Register expect of
the future? Does it presume that
the people Of this county are fools,
and will continue to follow the advice
of one who has wontonly tampered
with their good faith? Certainly not?
They know it took but thirty pieces
of silver to hire Iscariot to sell the
sacred blood of his master, and they
know now that in the lapse of CEN
turies the price of such times has
advanced, and therefore it now takes
a Thousand pieces to buy butcher.
How can the people expect other
wise than to see sorded wealth ride
over them rough shod II men of
millions can secure their hirelings At
only Thousand dollars apiece?- -Sianei

Hon. George w. Snow Says Pres
ent Administration is Good.

Sioux Falls Press: Hon. George w.
Snow of Springfield, lieut. enant COVE r.
nor for the four years of the Her re id
regime, while in this city yester day
declared himself as being a staun ch
supporter of Governor Vessey, and
heartily in favor of his reelection.
81 believe that Mr.. Vess ey is the
proper man for governor. He is a
good, honest, steady business man, is
well liked by his home people and has
shown himself to be a good execu tive
in every way"
When asked regarding the charg es
OF alleged extravaganza on the part of
Of t he present administration. Mr..
Snow stated that there was in reality
nothing to such charges. saying the
Pc Icy pursued was the result of the
very measures advocated and voted for
by the very men who now were or ying
against them. Mr.. Snow also stated
that he believed these same men
would vote for them again if they had
the occasion. He commended Mr..
Vessey's stand on the question Of sup
port of educational institutions, and
states that he has no doubt that the
people will show their belief in Mr..
Vessey by supporting him and his
methods.
When questioned relative to the
matter of the stand taken against
| Cannon and Aldrich, Mr.. Snow re-
piled:
Il am with the progressives on the
Cannon-Aldrich matter and the peo-
pie are with the progressives on this
| matter also, for they wish to see the
Roosevelt policies carried out.''
Mr.. Snow states that he expects to
see Thorson and Schrader win easily
at the June primaries. In conclusion
he stated that wherever he had in
| yestigated he had found that the pro-
gressives were supporting good men.

missioner of School and Public Lands.
His name is Kin Foster, he cam e
from Armour.
The third man referred to, was the
republican boss of his county. He
took even more active part in opp os-
ing railroad legislation and he was
consistent all the way through. He
even voted against resolution COM
mending Roosevelt in his effort to
obtain railroad rate legislation in Con-
gress. When he got home he did not
dare to criticise the Progressives for
the measures that had become law in
spite of his determined oppositions,
but he also joined in an active cam
paign against them on the grounds of
extravagant appropriations, although
he himself had voted for all the ap-
preparations. He was a candidate
for reelection in one of the strong est
Stalwart counties in the state and
was defeated by Democrat, good
man, little known outside of his own
precinct. But the faithful shall hav e
their reward. He has now been Sc
lected by the Stalwart machine as
their candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor, where he would on account of
his official position as president of the
Senate, be real effective in shaping
legislation. His name is Joe Parmley
his home is in Ipswich
The Stalwart county has to their
credit defeated the county boss at the
polls for his betrayal of their interests
to the railroad corporations, now the
voters of the state are asked to pay
the debt of gratitude by making
Parmlev Lieutenant Governor.
You may wonder where these men
get their inspiration in opposing SO
boldly legislation demanded by the
people. We refer you to the message
of the retiring Governor Elrod, de.
livered to the 1907 Legislature, in
which he begs them to be good to the
railroads.

Chicago,
May 10, 1910
Editor LEADER: On May 18th
Halley's comet will reach the nearest
approach to the earth. 1t will then
be about 1900, 900 miles distant.
By the middle of the twentieth CEN
tury Halley's comet will be 3, PIG, ,0OO, 600
miles distant from the earth.
In February 1910 Prof. Barnard
found that the tail of the comet was
s, 1000, 900 miles long.
Students and the reading public
generally are much interested In
learning exact facts regarding the
comet. They want to know when 1t
will become visible to the naked eye,
where on the face of the sky it can be
seen, and what we may expect it to
look like.
A brochure just from our press, en-
titled Halley's Comet, prepared by
David Todd, Professor of Astronomy,
Amherst College, sets forth In detail
information regarding Halley's comet
in particular, HALEY the discoverer
and his work, and comets and meteors
in general.

The Three Rewards.

The Legislature of 1907 was the
first South Dakota Legislature which
was not absolutely controlled by the
Railroad Corporations. This is the
Legislature which passed the PC per
mile rate law.
The Double Damage Law compel
ling the railroad companies to pay
double damages when they refused to
settle within a reasonable time):
The Anti-Pass Law prohibiting
the issuing of railroad passes by which
method the railroads had been corrupt
ing public officials and political work
erS.
The Fellow Servant Law: making
railroad companies liable for injury
to its employees. (ThiS Law was
adopted in surrounding states over
twenty years ago..
In this Legislature there were three
members especially who took an active
part in the work of the session. One
was elected as Progressive IA reform
man). He gained notoriety by oppos-
ing and defeating the proposed two
cent rate law in the House. (This
law was passed two years later). This
man was candidate for reelection
in the strongest Progressive county
in the state. What happened to him:
He was beaten two to one in the
primary election.
His defeat surprised him as we'll as
humiliated him. He thought the ma
chine all-powerful, and he was now
discouraged. But he was again re-
minded that the people had short
memories and the big corporations
attended as promptly and persistent
ly to politics as they did to business.
He was told to wait with patience,
and again reminded that, unto the
faithful the reward shall be given"
The railroad machine has always
. been loyal to it's faithful workers; and
the machine would now help to get
him his reward. He has been select
ed by the Stalwart machine of the
State as their candidate for Attorney
General. He is a man whom they
want to represent the interest of the
people of South Dakota in the rail-
road rate cases now pending in the
United States Court (the railroads
have refused to put either the two
cent or the two and half-cent rate
in force and their cases are yet un
decided by the courts). Possibly
s.~lr l~~ sr fn
His name is Titus Price. His no me
is Yankton.
The second man referred to was a
Stalwart. He opposed all the rail-
road legislation above mentioned. He
was the willing servant of the rail
road people all the time. He also
went home seeking reelection. He
did not criticise any OF the legislation
which was passed in spite of his efforts
but he took an active part in the
campaign, criticising the Progressives
for having been extravagant in all
appropriations, although he himself
voted for every appropriation passed.
This man claimed that there were no
: insurgents in his county and that all
the republicans approved of his
course. He promptly announced him
self as candidate for reelection to
the Legislature, but he suffered
humiliating defeat at the republican
primaries. The railroad machines
have not forgotten this faithful
servant either. He has now been
selected as their candidate for Com

Teaching Correct Speech.

A woman of culture and travel has
made a glorious success teaching cor
rect speech. 1t is surprising how
much incorrect speech there is among
our educated people. They cling to
provincialisms, incorrect prOnuncia-
tions. wrong use of words, and un-
musical intonations. The sOutheTner
holds to the soft, T-less utterance of
his nanny" days; the middle west
erner fattens his vowels; the Boston
ian throws his RS completely out Of
Joint. This woman und eTtook to cor
rect such errors and teach a pure,
perfect English speech to few young
women. She became 50 successful
that she was compelled to start a
school of correct English which has
grown to great proportions. This par
ticularly promising field is open in
every town in America.-The Delinea-

ATHLETES OF OLDEN TIME
Those of Greece Wore Hair Cropped
and Were Subjected to Very
Careful Diet.

Some interesting comparisons may;
be drawn between ancient and modern
athletes. The athletes Of ancient
Greece, for example, IL they should
appear to view today, would not be
taken for a football team.
The old-time man of muscle wore
his hair cropped, distinguishing fea-
ture in a land Of long hair. Trainers
for the games led a very careful life.
They were under orders for a rigid
diet, which became especially severe
just before the contest.
Their bill of fare consisted Of fresh
cheese, dried figs and wheaton pOT-
ridge. A little later in the era meat
was allowed, with a preference for
beef and pork. Bread was not allowed
with meat, and sweets not at all.
At one time a strange custom Of diet
came into vogue. Every day at the
conclusion of practise the athletes
were Obliged to consume enormous
quantities of food, which was digested
IN a ng-continued sleep. The amount
was gradually increased until huge
meals of meat were taken. This diet
produced a corpulence which was Of
advantage In wrestling. but injurious
for other sports.

immigrants Sold at Dock.

1t is. pointed out by the London
Chronicle that although the modern
immigrant to American ports may be
sold" in a way, he is never sold in
the same sense as were those immi-
grants of the eighteenth century whose
fate one gathers from an advertise
mont in New York paper of IVA
The advertisement runs: Servants
just arrived from Scotland, to be sold
on board the Commerce, Capt. Fergu-
son, master, lying at the ferry stairs,
among which are a number Of Weay-

An Australian Plant Pest.

Just thirty years ago a lady at
Bright, Victoria, planted in her garden
a few seeds of st. Johns wort sent
her from the old country. The Iady's
intention was to have one or two Of
the plants at hand for medicinal pur-
poses. The hardy weed, however, soon
spread beyond the garden, and before
anyone had gTasped the magnitude Of
the evil it had been carried by cattle
along all the main stock routes and
jumped the Victorian watershed into
Gippsland. 1t has now completely ta-
ken possession Of something like 20,-
900 acres of agricultural land, and the
agricultural department of Victoria is
spending thousands of pounds in the
endeavor to eradicate it, some Of the
methods tried costing nearly $50 an
acre.-WestmiDster Gazette.

Safeguard to Health.

One Of the most needful and most
important safeguards to health is the
recent invention of the germ-proof
telephone mouthpiece. This device,
made Of clear crystal glass, is in
tended to replace the filthy rubber
mouthpieces in common use, which
furnish all sorts Of germs an ideal
breeding place. 1t has received the
enthusiastic Endorsement of doctors,
psychologists and boards of health
wherever introduced and is approved
by all operating telephone companies.
The glass part can be instantly re-
moved for cleaning and can be re-
placed as instantly. 1t can be wiped
clean without removal. It is less liable
to bTeakage than the ordinary rubber
mOuthpiece and admits light to all the
parts Of the device, thus securing an
extra good sanitary condition.-Illus-
tTated Sunday Magazine.
