a Job" and no error"
ASSURANCE WANTED

The Des Moines Register and Lead
er, one of the influential newspapers
which have favored the progressive
movement and at the same time clung
to President Taft in the hope that he
would become the leader of that
movement now declares that it is
time for the president to go on record
that the people may know what they
have to expect in the future. The
Des Moines paper says nothing can
prevent the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft, but there is convict
ion among republican leaders of all
factious that he cannot be re elected"
but farther on declares:
unless President Taft eau say
something more assuring than he
has said thus far on his western
journey, his denomination will be
merely an invitation to defeat. The
country is in no mood to listen to ex
plantations of how it happened or why
it was not done. What the country
is looking for is leadership that
will lead. The president started the
tariff agitation on his own initiative,
he called two extra sessions of con-
gress he has every reason for making
the American people know now that
his reelection will mean something.
He can say in ten sentences all that
needs to be said. Will he say it,"
The Des Moines newspaper points
out that the Payne-Aldrich bill has
come by common consent to be look
ed upon as an inadquate fulfilment
of the party pledge and adds that
there is not the slightest prospect that
relief can be looked for at the coming
regular session of congress. 1t leaves
the president without record except
the Payne -AIdrich tariff bill, and the
Register and Leader belives the re.
publican party cannot win on that re-
cord. Ii says futher:
at must be evident to everybody
that it has come to a place where an
appeal to the record will not avail
and where an earnest must be given
for the future in the candidate and
the platform. F"
Summed up in a very few words
the Register and Leader wants Presi
dent Taft to stop making excuses for
the past and tell what he is going to
do in the future. This is very rea
sonable demand to make upon a
presidential candidate. Sioux Falls

CHRISTIAN CHRISTENSEN LANDBo

After a severe illness of week
Grandpa I.andbo died on Sept. %,
1911. Christian Christensen Landbo
was born May the 3rd, 1924, in Den
mark, married on Nov 25, 1855, to
Else Christina Peterson, to which
union four children were born. These
were, Carl, who died 20 years ago,
Nels who is in Oregon, Herman, at
Wilmot, S. d Carolina. near Erwin,
s. ID.
In the spring of 1882 they came to
America and took homestead in
Kingsbury county where they were
among the early pioneers. Here in
the new home Mrs. Landbo died Sept.
25, 1884
Grandpa Landbo was veteran of
the Danish German war 1847 so, and
was rendered a medal therefor by the
Danish government.
He was very interesting and could
talk for bours of that bloody struggle
and of those hard battles which were
so long and hard because of their
methods of warfare in that time. He
loved his mother country. but never
forgot to express his thanks as
citizen here to our United States for
the rights and privileges and for the
home it gave, and therefore was
loyal citizen and hoped for continu-
ance of true United States of
America.
He was firm believer in the
gospel and died in TIE belief'sf God,
and was laid to restin Denmark Gene

The De Smet papers complain
bitterly of the action of the Judges in
awarding Brookings county first place
and Kingsbury second at the state
fair. Ii their statements are correct
to the effect that both exhibits were
marked 100 on arrangement and dis
play, while the difference in the total
score was only five points, it would
strike an unperjudiced person that
Kingsbury had kick coming. Their
reflection on the honesty of the Judges
and the people of Brookings county
is In very poor taste however, when it
is known that large portion of the
Kingsbury county exhibit was So
cured iu the Sioux Valley, in Brook
ngs county. We know nothing Of
the method employed in marking ex-
hibits, but we do know that the Brook.
ings county exhibit was strictly on the
square. and that all the judges are
honorable anti competent persons.
If there was an error there was no
job. Brookings Press.
The Press shows disposition to be
fair IN the controversy over the award
of first prize for county exhibit at the
state fair which we are glad TO note
If the editor of the Press will take the
trouble 10 write Secretary McIlvane
he can secure copy of the judges
markings, which be will find sustain
our contention. The three leading
counties We're given 100 points each
on arrangement and display. There
is no question as to that point. Now,
as to the statement that large
portion of the Kingsbury exhibit was
secured in the Sioux Valley, we will
simply say the editor of the Press
has been misinformed. No good
newspapsrman would deliberately lie
about it, and we do not doubt that
be received the information from in
terested parties. We will say this,
there was NOT an article offered in
Kingsbury's exhibit that was not
produced within the boundries of
Kingsbury county. We do not blame
the editor of the Press for insisting
the judges intended to be fair. They
are his townsmen, and naturally he
wants to speak well Of them. With
us it is different. All we wanted was
square deal from them, and that we
did not get. The Press will therefor

LAST week the daily papers, or
many of them at least, contained
editorials suggesting that it was
scarcity of raw material that advanc-
ed the. price of sugar, and not the
whim of the sugar trust. The failure
of the sugar beet crop was credited
with much of the advance. 1t may
be as the editorials stated, but we do
not believe it, We are confirmed in
our disbelief by the fact that sugar
has since declined several points,
although there has been no increasein
that time. The fruit peserving season
is about over which accounts in a
greater degree for the decline.
Wholesalers are pushing the sale of
sugar which is an indication that a
drop is expected soon and they are
anxious to unload.

The express companies doing bust
ness in this state are said to be com.
plying with the Federal court ruling
denying an injunction against re.
duction of 30 per cent on the rates in
force January /, 1909. This will re
lieve the local situation temporarily
at least. Now let Congress follow
the example of the South Dakota
Legislature by reducing the inter
state express rates. 1t will be appre-
ciated by the public great deal
more than reciprocity and may help
in solving the problem of the high
cost of living. -Tyndall Tribune,

The appalling death rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to
the fact that the little kidney troubles
are usually neglected until they be-
come serious. The slight symptoms
give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer goes gradually into the
grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright's
disease, gravel or some other form of
kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney
secretons are irregular of passage
and unnatural in appearance, do not

II is true that the President has
made what most of us consider m is
takes, but that his actions have been
those of a sincere man rather than a
politician can not b. doubted. -
Tyndall Tribune.
But in the case of re election would
not Mr.. Taft make similar mistakes"
under similar circumstances We
have in nind the approval of the
Payne AIdrich tariff bill which did not
conform to Mr.. Taft's Interpretation
of tae republican platform; the haste
with which he went to the defense OF
Secretary Ballinger; the veto of the
wooden schedule, which schedule was
made to remedy a condition existing
under schedule Mr.. Taft declared
to be "indefensible," and more could
be cited Is not the President so set in
his way, and determined to force his
ideas that he is incapable of grasping
tie true situation at times? And when
this is the case are not mistakes made
with good intentions as serious in re.
suItsl Mr.. Taft is responsible for the
loss of control of congress by the re-
publicans, and has thus made re-
medal legislation impossible for
the next two years. Are the mis-
takes of sincere man any the less
disastrous?

The Business Mems Club officials
gave out a statement last night to
the effect that they would press the
campaign vigorously looking to the
adoption by the Board of Aldermen
of the measure originally reported.
with a view to its being referred to
the Common Council in Its unamend-
ed form.
A member of the Board OF Alder
men yesterday, who had opposed the
new form of government from the
outset. admitted to a representative
Of The Richmond Nirginian that the
new government measures would
pass the Board Of Aldermen in their
present shape. provided President
Whittet decided that they did not
require a two-thirds vote.
The situation was generally dis
cussed upon the street yesterday and
the action OF the Common Council in
adopting the substitute measure.
which places all of the departments
under the administrative board In
stead Of adopting the original, which
left the health. fire and police boards
Independent Of the administrative
board. was viewed in many different
lights. There were not a few to en-
dorse the action Of the Council in
making a clean sweep. while others
charged that the substitute was
adopted because these who voted for
it believed that the Board of Alder
men would not stand for 1t and would
defeat the entire proposal.
About the City Hall there seemed
to be a belief that the action of the
Common Council Monday night had
not materially affected the situation
that some Of the aldermen Who had
been in favor OF the change would
now vote against the substitute
while Others who had opposed the
original proposal would now vote
for 1t.
