AS result of the big conference

numbers of farmers throughout
the state, who used this means to
express their dissatisfaction and
disapproval of the Canadian reci-
procity pact, protest addressed
ITO the president and to congress
of the United States" was present
ed in the House by Representative
Burke, and published in full in the
Congressional Record. Mr.. Burke
took occasion of the opportunity
to renew his objections to the pro-
posed arrangement with Canada.

There is a renewal of the rumors
that Senator Lorimer may resign
and while there is no confirmation
of these reports, the developments
of the last few days in the senate
are looked upon as insuring a rein
vestigation of his right to a seat in
that body. The matter has been
vigorously pushed by Senator La
Toilette, whose resolution provides
for a special committee and the
differences existing between the
senator and the state pertain to
the decision of the committees on
Privileges and Elections, who have
reported as a substitute to the La
Toilette resolution, that the COM
mittee itself investigate the charg-
es. The action of the Illinois state
senate in asking congress to again
take up the matter, will no doubt
settle the question of reinvestiga-
ton, unless MIR. Lorimer should
retire voluntary.

fact that credit for the conception
of the plan is due to William Loeb,
Jr., who has made an honorable
record in public life, and who may
be summoned to serve as the re-.
publican National Chairman in the
1912 campaign.
At the opening of the present
session of congress, the boom of
Champ Clark for the presidency
appeared to have gained the right
of way, but the activity on behalf
of the forces of Governor Wilson
of New Jersey has rather showed
Mr.. Clark's claims to the back
ground. There was real glee in
the Clark camp when the nearest
newspapers gave a tentative en-
dorsement of Mr.. Clark's candida
cy. This has all disappeared since
Tammany Hall has given evidence
Of allegiance to the Harmon boom,
while Senator O'Gorman, who is
looked upon as the new democratic
leader of the empire state, has de-
clared himself for Governor Will
son. The New York World sum-
marizes the opposition in the re-
publican camp to Mr.. Taft as en-
bracing the LaFollette backing of
the progressive league, and the
Lorimer following of Illinois, car
rying with it the support of the
republican state committee.

THE VETERANS OF OUR WARS
Several in This Vicinity who
Have Fought Under Old
Glory

But few people are aware that
among the citizens of Philip there
are SO many Spanish American
soldiers. No one would suspect
that such quiet unassuming man
as Dave Lampert had been away
acrossed the sea and served his
country fighting the bolomen. Mr..
I4ampert belonged to the First
Regiment of Nebraska. l. S. Bet
ger also belonged to this regiment
and served in the Philippine Is
lands. James Coughlin and w. L..
Wilkinson served in the famous
Governors Grays of the 49th
Iowa. John Grusendorf was
member of the same regiment in
Company l..
VIM. Griffin, Geo. Paddock and
James Colburn were members of
the 52nd Iowa. Most all of these
boys are sons of veterans who
served in the civil war. There are
also lingering few of the old
coffee coolers of 81 and 65. There
names are N. H. Wyckoff, Ed
ward Anderson, w. HI. Chambers
ard H. Durkee. There are two
out in the country, A. G. Pepper
and H. S. Gale. Our cemetery
contains but one lone comrade
Major Nash, who died in 1910.
Next year the patriotic citizens of
Philip intend, if any flowers can
be had, to carry out this sacred
custom of scattering flowers over
their graves. They are dying at
the rate of one hundred per day.
Their average age is now over
seventy years and father time will
soon gather them all in to his
fold. There are q number Of sons
of veterans. Oscar Hargesheimer,
III. D. Rainey, j, 3. Wyckof, Jud

side of the national forests, to the
highest bidder The great forests
fires that have swept over the
country in recent years have de-
stroyed millions of feet of valuable
timber, and it has been charged
time and again that the govern
ment has suffered an enormous loss
for not promptly providing for the
cutting of this timber, as it rapid
ly disintegrates, and is destroyed
by worms after having been swept
over by fires.
Representative Kahn of Cali
fornia attacked the initiative, ref
erendum and recall features of the
Arizona constitutions, during the
debate in reference to statehood,
and his remarks attracted a good
deal of attention. What would
have happened to Washington,
Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt and
other popular idols of their respec-
tive day and generation had the
recall of which so much is heard
nowadays, been in effect in their
timee" asked Mr.. Kahn. He ans
wered his own question by declar.
ing that not one of these famous
men could have remained in pub
lie life. Why" cried Mr.. Kahn.

had permitted it. When Washing.

of his country might have beer

property of these white men. He
has also introduced a bill reim-
bursting number of residents of
the Pine Ridge Agency in cash for
their buildings and improvements
on the Agency because of the law
enacted by congress dividing "a
portion of the reservation of the
Sioux nation of Indians in Dakota
into separate reservations and to
secure the REIMBURSEMENT of the
Indian title to the remainder.
Still another bill bearing Mr..
CANDLES name provides that juris-
diction be conferred on courts Of
claims, subject to appeal to the
supreme court, to determine the
amounts of losses sustained by
individual Sioux Indians since
the treaty of 1888, by depredations
against their property at the hands
of United States soldiers and white
citizens
Senator Crawford of South Da-
kota joined the opponents of Ca
madam reciprocity and in a strong
speech before the senate assailed
the arrangement proposed with
Canada, as being injurious to the
best interests of the farmers. He
stated that if the farmer should be
placed on free trade basis with
Canada he would be left no choice
in the purchase of manufactured
products, except to buy in a pro-
tected market.
National Committeeman Thomas
Thorson of Canton, was in Wash

enroute for his old home in Nor

against Judge Elliott being ap-
pointed as Federal Judge in place

thinking Of the change that had come

Sans improvidence and lack of eXecu

business with firm hand and made it

During Margaret's regime. as say,
the shop had thrived. Sam had few i'll

Margaret died.

months after Margaret's burial. BY

mated, Its trade likewise. Sam was
