A. J. Kuhns, G. A. Carlson, John
N. Peterson, o. e. Rossum, Martin
Abbott, o. L. Campbell, are among
our renewal subscribers this week.
o. N. Thormodsgaard, formerly OF
Hudson, but now a resident OF
Spokane, remembered the LEADER
this week with q renewal subscription.
Knute Aasheim, a prosperous and
popular farmer in Highland township
was a LEADER visitor and a renewal
subscriber Monday.
A note from our old friend John II.
Sogn Of Bowden, N. D. contained a
renewal subscription for the LEADER
The firm of Vaughn s. Sogn deals in
hardware, farm machinery, harne SIS
and furniture, and does a good bus
mess.
A note from Gid Glendinning, U. s..
Commissioner at Ludlow, Harding
county, and editor and publisher of
the Herald, says that country is in
fine condition, and not enough snow
so far this winter to keep cattle from
getting plenty Of grass. Gid says he
has a fine overcoat that could be
secured without a lawsuit. This looks
like a hint for Arrowhead Valley.
Olaf Odegaard formerly a popular
county officer and now a progressive
prosperous farmer down in Highland
township was a visitor and a renewal
subscriber Monday. Olaf has a
bright, ambitious son, IA years old,
named Mckinley Odegaard, who said
| to his father: 81 don't want to read
your LEADER all the time; l want a
LEADER to my W address" and the
father compromised by changing Olaf
to Mckinley. That boy will make
his mark and climb the ladder of
success, and the LEADER would like
to have him call when in Canton.
John Taylor was discussing the
Mexican troubles last Friday with
the editor, and remarked that his
brother j.. e. Taylor, is located at
Monclova, Mexico, not far from Eagle
Pass, Texas, but the Mexicans refuse
to allow any American papers, and
either hold up or return letters to the
writer's in the states. Mr.. Taylor
has written to his mother In this city
that he has received no letters from
her for a long time, and his sister in
Minnesota had a letter returned
which the Mexicans refused to pass.
Mr.. Taylor says that they can learn
little or nothing about the fighting
between the government forces and
the rebels. He is without news from
the country round about them and
simply waits for peace.
A note from Captain B. E. Thomp,
son of Mott, N. D., formerly a Can
tonite and in summer a gay and dash
ing skipper on Spirit Lake, but now
a resident of Mott, that boom town
in Hettinger county, where the VI.
berg Brothers, Capt. Thompson, j. B
SlosSon and other C%antonites have
grown rich. Bert wants his LEADET
paid for in advance and this time his
check runs him into 1913. In a note
accompanying the remittance be
says: "We have had a nice winter so
far, no snow to bother. We are enjoy
ing ourselves and having good times,
even If our crops we're a little short
last year. Mott has two railroads and
the country is booming and land
values are increasing rapidly" Capt.
Thompson wishes 10 be remembered
to all old friends through the LEADER
and hopes that good old Lincoln will
continue to be the best county in the
state.

to make more appropriations for the Chicago
University and build more churches
Just so true as what Mr.. Rockefeller has
given to religion been stolen, just so true is
the fact that what Mr.. Carnegie has given to-
ward the furtherance of peace he has taken
from the people in preparing our government
for war
Just as Mr.. Rockefeller has made his mil
lions out of his Oil Trust, Mr.. Carnegie has
made his out of Steel.
The Rockefeller oil companies and the Car
negie steel companies have been about the
most favored industries in the country.
All that they wanted at Washington they
could get by saying the word.
About the time that Congress was due to
take up the Appropriations Bill a war scare
about needing a more powerful navy started
and ended when Congress appropriated sew
eral millions to the Steel Trust
Zone strange thing about the war scare is
that all-important Willie Hearts great reform
papers always lead the fight to give the Steel
Trust more.
Hearst's papers are always trying to help
the Steel Trust gang by bowling for bigger
navy, which means money in Carnegie's
pocket
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-01-12
PAGE THIRTEEN

The fact has leaked out that the Steel Trust
has laid off between forty and fifty thousand
of it's men during the past month or so and
the number will likely reach seventy five thou
sand.
This doesn't tally we'll with the Trust mag
Mates statements about the tariff making pros
porous times and being such a good thing for
the workingmen of the country.
If there is one industry that is protected by
the tariff, has the tariff arranged just to suit
it, and has enjoyed special privileges and
numerous favors from government officials, it
is the steel industry,-the Steel Trust.
Yet this most favored among the big Trusts
admits by it's action that a high protective
tariff does not make such prosperous times.
If times are so prosperous under the present
tariff, why is the Steel Trust discharging its
men at such a rapid rate? The discharge of
the men means less output from the mills and
less output from the mills means a dropping
off in the demand for steel.
The truth of the matter is, the Trust con-
trolling its supply of raw material, our home
market, and the power to fix the price Of steel
at whatever figure it cares to has overshot the
mark.
All competition has been shut out, the price
of all steel products raised so high that they
are almost prohibitory, has done the work

EDITORIAL NOTES
B y j. I'D. WATSON

John D. Rockefeller envious of the nice
things that have been said about candy"
Carnegie's $10,OO0OOO gift to insure peace
throughout the world, has come across with
S10,000O0O gift to insure the permanent sue
cess of Chicago University.
Chicago University is already Rockefeller
in spirit. The students are taught that Rookie
Teller is the greatest man living and that his
business methods are above reproach Very
few professors of the institution dare have an
opinion that is not Rockefeller's, and it is
their first duty to make the students the same
way.
Each year hundreds of young students are
fed on Rockefeller, with Standard Oil as a
chaser, and the ma ority of the people never
seem to realize that the old criminal is simply
doing what he thinks will influence public
opinion his way when he makes his donations
to the Baptist churches and to Chicago Uni
versity
Let Mr.. Rockefeller continue to plumber the
American people under the Payne-A1drich
tariff, and swindle the English government
out of it's income tax through the Vacuum Oil
Companies and Mr.. Rockefeller will be able

American Awarded Medal
On a Rupture Device

Mr.. F. J. Stuart, an American residing
in ST. Louis, was recently awarded a
of merit of the first class, by a London
Institute. Mr.. Stuart is inventor of the
STUART PLAS-TR-PAD for rupture.
Letters patent have been granted by
many governments on this form of
Hernia support, and medicine applica-
tor. The purpose of this support is to
securely hold the rupture in place, and
remedy thereto, which will be taken up
and absorbed by the pores to heal and
relieve the parts of pain. When pat
ent was granted in Great Britain, Mr..
Stuart also obtained the Medal and
Diploma. Truss wearers will no doubt
appreciate an invention of such ex-
ceeding worth as to merit such notice
By addressing Mr.. Stuart at ST. Louis,
Mo-, those interested will probably be
furnished full information.

TUBERCULOSIS Fight
Big Attendance at Meeting Last Night
Called in Support of Fight
on Tuberculosis.

The meeting held last evening at
the First Congregational church for
the purpose of furthering the fight on
tuberculosis was largely attended.
DR.. ]. G. Dillon, DR.. j. l.. Savage and
Professor Van Els of the A. c. ad-
dressed the meeting and all gave
strong talks.
DR.. Dillon advocated that the per-
son who wished to withstand the at
tack Of the dread disease be very par
tlcular regarding pure air and al
ways have an abundant supply. He
suggested out of doors sleeping for
persons who were tubercularly in
clined. Pure and nourishing foods
were essentials as suggested in the
fight.
The problem of keeping the breath
ing apparatus in a healthy and normal
condition was the thought conveyed
by DIR. Savage. He spoke of the bovine
in milks and meats and showed how
this tended to lessen the vitality of
the individual.
Dr. Van Els gave a brief history of
the disease and gave illustrations of
the many symptoms of consumption.
He showed that the white plague could
be cured and wiped out by adopting the
proper methods of prevention and said
that he hoped some day to see the
time when there would be no more
tuberculosis.

II Fargo's growth is to be measured
by the increase in the telephone bust
ness this is getting to be quite a city.
The number Of phones and employees
have increased so rapidly the building,
erected a few years ago, has been
outgrown. For months additional space
has been rented for ofice work. Re-
Gently a larger office space was Sc
cured.
When the building was originally
constructed the foundation was made
sufficiently strong to hold up three or
four stories il required. 1t is among
the possibilities that two more floors
may be added to the present two-story
structure.
The local officials have nothing to
give out about the matter, but a resi-
dent of the city who was recently in
Minneapolis, had conference with
one Of the head officials and learned
such plan was in contemplation.
This would give the company an
ideal location and prevent having the
offices so badly separated.
