Admiral Dewey Says Arbitration

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Ad-
miral OF the United States navy,
George Dewey, in a statement to the
United Press today declared that he

favor OF arbitration and he said that

however, made 1t clear that he does
not believe that the United States
should advance the question OF dis
armament. u,. @.
Arbitration is making progress in
the settlement OF International ques-

said:

There is nothing OF war or any
thing opposed to arbitration in that

Dewey referred to Beresford's state

Yankton County Old Settlers.

The old settlers association Of
Yankton county, met last week and
listened to an interesting address by
it's president, Major j. R. Hanson,
who came to Yankton in 1857. In
his splendid address he said: II want
to leave this sentiment with the old
settlers:
We've walked together fifty years,
And shared each others joys and tears:
Together laughed together sung,
AS round the festive board we hung,
Together shared each others bed,
Together ate the crust of bread,
Together felt the blizzard S sting:
Together heard the warwhoop ring.
Together felt affections sway,
AS some old friend we laid away.
Together slept beneath the sky
And watched the silent stars go by.
Together trudged along the road,
Together shared each others load.
Together now we've reached the
height,
And view the shades of coming night.
Together now we've neared the end,
And soon must say Goodbye-old
friend.
Still heart to heart and hand to hand
We'Ll gather In that unknown land. "

Why Consumption Isn't Cured

Brown had moved in the month OF
May, into a house in another part OF
the town where he had always lived.
BY fall, he had con tracted tuberculosis.
1t was discovered later, that several
different families, who had occupied
this same house in succession, had
lost in turn several members from
tuberculosis. No attempt had ever
been made to diSinfect the house.
| Brown went to Arizona, pitched his
tent on certain spot, and never
made any change from that one spot
until his death. Note that fact. AS a
result, the soil over which he slept,
night after night, became saturated
with the accum ulated germs which
he expelled in coughing so that he was
continually, at night, re-breathing
into his system, the very seeds
] which cause the disease. He was re-
poisoning himself nightly, and didn't
know it. His system would have
germ poison" which it contracted,
but it was not surong enough to with
stand a new dose of the poison every
night. Had he changed the location
of his tent daily, he could have slept
each night in an atmosphere practi-
cally germ-free. There is new lesson
in this. The open air treatment Is
all right, but it must be carried out
by right methods. All early cases of
consumption which have failed to re-
cover by outdoor treatment, must lay
the blame to faulty, treatment.
Jones, who recovered, you will re-
member. did change his location every
day, having no tent to bother him,
and in doing so, avoided the fatal
mistake of Brown. How about Smith?
The case Of Smith is Of the greatest
Importance. He had recovered, you
will remember, and returned to his
home feeling tine-back to what? To
the very same plague-ridden room In
which he had first contracted the
disease-a room, reeking with tuber-
cular germ life, and which had been
occupied, 1t was learned later, by five
different consumptives at various
times. The disease got a hold on
him a second time for the simple
reason that he came back TO the
original source of his disease. He
should have sought new quarters; or
else the house, and particularly the
room he occupied, should have been
dlsinfected, before being occupied, by
him or any one else. These three
cases cited are but typical instances.
There are thousands upon thousands
of Browns, and Joneses, and Smiths,
living and dying this very day, whose
story, if told in its true light, would
match exactly the simple, but pathetic
history, of these three men.--From
Throwing Death Off the Trail," In
May Technical World Magazine.

Pierre Always Wet.

The "wet" element "point with
pride" to Pierre as an evidence that
booze is still popular in that water
gas town, because 1t returned to the
wet column after being dry one year.
The dry year was not natural con-
dition for Pierre, 1t is naturally wet
town and will remain in the wet
column until frontier conditions are
wiped out. The Indian country and
the cowboy do much to support the
Capital City hence Pierre will remain
wet for years. The dry fit that came
along last year was prompted by freak
politics and revenge.

Protect the Birds.

J. P. Gilbert of the University of
Illinois says that farm crops last year
suffered a loss OF 700 million, dollars
from insect pests which would not
have been lost If the birds had been
protected. The department. of agri-
culture puts the estimate higher-at
round billion dollars. "Quail on
toast is worth but few cents" says
Professor Gilbert, "but quail on the
farm is worth many dollars. One
flicker can eat 5000 ants at single
meal and the kingfisher is the most
powerful defender OF the poultry yard

THoMPT-ANDERsON WEDDING
DakOtans Married in
Sioux City on Thursday,
April 10th.

Mr.. Oscar Milton Thompt of Eden
township, this county, oldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Thompt of this
city, was married in Sioux City, on
Thursday April Goth, to Miss Theresa
Anderson of Alcester, and the cere-
mony took place at the home of the
brides sister, Mrs. L. e. Knutson.
The ceremony took place in Iowa,
but the bride and the groom and min
lister, who performed the ceremony,
were Dakotans. The Sioux City
Journal makes special mention of this
happy event In its society depart
ment.
Mr.. Thompt and his bride to be, de-
cided to have a quiet wedding at
Sioux City and to make the event
somewhat unique, invited the Rev.
G. Fl. Nelson of Alcester to accom-
pany them and otficiate. The Sioux
City Journal says the charming bride
wore becoming gown OF white en-
broidery with trimmings of cluny
lace, while her attendant, Miss Anna
Bachstrom, was very attractive In
lingerie gown.
Immediately after the ceremony an
elaborate wedding dinner was served
and the Dakota bridal party took the
train over the Milwaukee for Canton
for home visit before returning to
the big Thompt farm near Hudson.
Mr.. Oscar Milton Thompt is the
oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Thompt Of this city, and he with his
brother Floyd conduct their fathers
farm OF 4S0 acres, one of the finest In
the township. Oscar is splendid
young man, born in Eden township,
and has won beautiful bride from
among the fair maidens OF Union
county, and the LEADER Is pleased to
extend congratulations.

The Poor Express Companies.

AS an excuse and defense against
reduction of express rates In this
state by the railroad commission, the
much abused express companies de-
clare they are doing business at loss
in this state. This sounds some what
remarkable to person who has been
paying express rates In Canton for
years. The railroad commission will
no doubt order reduction in rates,
but will the order stand?

President Nominates Mrs. Hackett.

President Taft has on the recon
mendation of Congressman Martin
and Burke, nominated Mrs. Hackett.
of Parker, for postmistresS, to sue
ceed her husband, whose nomin-
alton was rejected by the senate at
the request of Senator Gamble.
The President seems disposed to
consider this division of responsibility
ample to stay the hand of Senator
Gamble in his desire to punish the
man who, as political opponent, had
criticised him, unjustly, perhaps, but a
politician may expect opposition and
criticism and should not be willing to
load his memory too heavily with
such things.
Senator Gamble ought to be willing
to call it even on his defeat of Mr..
Hackett for postmaster, and move for
the confirmation of Mrs. Hackett.
Such action on his part would win
him the respect of every fair minded
man in the state.
Senator Gamble may regard the
presentation Of Mrs. Hackett's name
as left handed endorsement Of Mr..
Hackett by MesSrs. Martin and Burke
and feel that he Is justified In his war
on anything bearing the name OF
Hackett, but he should remember
that an editors wife can not be held
responsible for what her husband
writes and prints In his paper. Mrs.
Hackett is a charming lady and the
daughter Of one Of the earliest pioneer
preachers, Rev. J. j. Mcintyre, who
was preaching the gospel In the ter
ritory long before Mr.. Gamble landed
in Yankto
Senator Gam ble's support of Mrs.
Hackett would place him In a very
favorable light before the people OF
the state in his canvass for re-elec-
tion, while his opposition to this
worthy lady, daughter OF an old SOL
dier and pioneer preacher, would not
indicate that degree of broadness one
has right to expect from United
States Senator. Whatever revenge
Senator Gamble had coming he must
have found it In his defeat OF Mr.
Hackett, and there his hostility
should end. II our senators and con-
gressmen are going to blacklist every
editor for his right of Judgment, free
speech and free press, the day for
republican harmony in this state Is
not within a safe estimate Of time.
Senator Gamble can well afford to
wipe his political slate clean as re-
CARDS the Parker postoffice, and in
turn show a christian spirit toward
christian lady whose motto has ever
been charity for all.
The editor of the LEADER has
known Mrs Hackett since she was a
little girl living in Turner county, at
Finley, when n her father was preach
ing the Gospel in the scattered settle
ments, and would regard her appoint
ment as happy solution of politi-
cal event that could we'll be forgot

To Romove Troops From Texas.

A petition with 10000 named was
presented in congress last week, ask
ing for the recall of U. S. troops from
Texas, as their presence is regarded
as favoring the Dictator Diaz and
against patriots fighting for freedom
and human rights. The troops were
not sent to Texas to help Diaz or to
aid in suppressing the rebellion, al
though such unforeseen conditions
have come to pass. Mexico is in a
state of rebellion, and the people are
ready to destroy the dictatorship and
will before the present conflict ends.
The people of Texas, Arizona, New
Mexico and California are in SYM
pathy with the rebels.
