Perkins Al Almageddon

George w. Perkins Is one of the
elect who stand at Armageddon and
battle for the Bull Moose and the
Lord. Officially he is keeper of
the dough bag, for the hosts of re-
form cannot subsist upon hysteria.
Incidentally it may be observed that
Mr.. Perkins by unanimous vote of
the third term delegates from New
York was elected a member of
the Progressive national committee.
He therefore will be close to the
fountain of financial distribution.
Mr.. Perkins Is a careful business
man. While others do the shout
ing he will keep an eye on the
dough bag. For heavy responsible
ties rest upon him. He has got
to "deliver the goods" in behalf of
a number of great philanthropic in
situations whose direct representa-
tive he Is.
In addition to standing at Arm
ageddon, Mr.. Perkins must also sit
in Wall street However much his
mind may be occupied in helping
the "plain people" and in advancing
the cause of social Justice it
must not be forgotten that Mr.. Per
kins is also a director in the North
ern Securities company. formerly in
dicted: he Is director of the Ma
tional City bank, owned by the
Standard Oil company, formerly In
ternational Harvester company, un-
der indictment now; he is a direc-
tor of the United States Steel cor
poration. under indictment now.
and he is also a director in a doz-
en- other big business enterprises
that may be indicted tomorrow. In
fact. there are few corporation en-
terprises with which Mr.. Perkins is
prominently identified that are
not in trouble of some sort with
the government. Therefore when
Mr.. Perkins stands at Armageddon
battling for the Bull Moose he is
either wasting valuable time or he
that threaten the great business
corporations of which he Is a direc-
tor.
Any man whose brain Is not con-
sumed by the zeal for reform and
who Is capable of deliberate
thought knows what Mr.. Perkins is
financing the Roosevelt movement
for. Is 1t patriotism. Is 1t glory.
is it sudden solicitude for the
welfare Of the wage Garner? Or is
1t because the great business in
situations which he officially rep
resents want him close to the col
place Of safety for the indicted
trusts. In times past Roosevelt has
been exceedingly useful to the
trusts and it may be that the power
of money together with the blind
faith of a host of well meaning
people can land him in that same
place again. 1t must be remember

no fool. Neither are his associate

that the best way and perhaps the
only way to get out from under the

charge of illegally fling upon govern
ment lands. will be presented to the

3 result Of a ruling today by Judge
James d. Elliott, OF the federal court
OF South Dakota now il session here.
William MiSel was indicted for
f~rau4u!enuy filing upon government
land which was open to settlement in
the Rosebud country. He is accused
OF films upon one homestead and re-
llnquishing it, then filing upon another
ana railing TO prove up on that, and
then filing upon a third. without hav-
ing stated in his AFFIDAVIT why he failed
to make final proof upon the second
ming. In the trial Of the case, Cham
bers keller, of Lead, s. D.. attorney for
Misel, raised h question OF h suffi-
cheney OF the indictment, upon the
ground that while the regulations Of
the interior department. demand thai
when a second filing upon homestead
land shall be made, an affidavit must
also be provided setting forth the rea-
sons why a previous filing was not
proved up, the statutes of the United
states do not provide for such an atfi-
davit and that the interior department,
In its regulations. attempts 10 legislate
upon the question and therefore its
provisions conflict with the statutes.
Judge Elliott sustained the objection
of Mr.. Keller and it is now up to the
government to take the question to the
court of appeals. If that court sustains
the government, the case against Misel
Will be tried at a future term of court.
If the appeal Is not sustained. the Misel
case ends and men who are under SEN
tence for violations of the LAND laws, |
similar in nature to that alleged in the
Misel case, win find themselves in a
position to demand liberty. 1t is a very
question which is involved
In this appeal and many people in
South Dakota and in other states
where there are Homestead lands open
to entry are deeply interested.
