NEMETr ON ROOSEVELT.

Last weeks Iron Ore contained sew
eral columns OF red hot stuff facts
right OF the bat and the bat was WELD
ed by George Newett. Among other
matters Mr.. Newett handed out the
following on I. X.
II Roosevelt could have won out in
the convention held recently in Chicago
he would have led the old Republican
party. II would have been good enough
for him. II was good enough for him
eight years ago, good enough four
years ago. and would still have been
the best on earth had IL given him the
votes he desired TO nominate him for
It's leader.
II was a good enough party for him
and his friends TO spend millions on in
trying TO get possession of at this ma
tional convention in trying to get the
nomination from.
1t was exactly the same party that
elected him four years ago. and the
convention was made up largely of the
men who were present upon that
occasion and who shouted for him and
worked tor him and voted for him.
II was the very same party that
doubly honored him. once with the
vice presidency and again. after he
had. through the death of the presi-
dent, succeeded TO the chief executive 8
chair, nominated aud elected him,
following ont the usual custom of glv.
ing man q second term. Roosevelt
was not altogether satisfactory in his
presidential term. but in spite of the
fact he was nominated and elected and
treated according To the practice of the
Republican party, always clean in it's
political dealings and giving its men a
fair opportunity.
But because this recent convention
did not nominate this greatest living
boss he denounced IL as a thieving
body. that had defrauded him of some
thing he looked upon as his particular
property
And because this convention did not
see fit TO select him he denounces the
party a. rotten and Immediately cries
out for new party with himself as
the leader.
Isn't it like himY
Because he wasn't selected the party
must be all wrong.
Had he been chosen 1t would have
been all right.
Doesn't il strike the honest man as
extremely ludicrous as well "a lament
abley
Just because Theodore Roosevelt
couldn't control the convention the
party Is all wrong, and new party,
fashioned to TIT this particular political
bushwhacker. has 70 be presented and
placed in his hands
All men who did not vote with him
are rogues
All who opposed him are scoundrels
who do not represent the will Of the
people or, in other words, do not favor
Theodore Roosevelt, which, In the
mind of this particular political satel.
lite and whipper-in, is one and the
same thing.

MILITIA RIFLEMENS
EXCELLENT SHOWING

Major William G. Ramsey. inspecto
of rife practice, is highly pleased witt
the excellent showing by the Delawar,
militiameu Discussing the markham
ship displayed at Camp Cannon durins
the past week Major Ramsey said Fridal
night:
The rifle firing at various ranges dur
/ ing the encampmeut of the militia wa:
very satisfactory. 1t is recognized thai
discipline and accuracy of fire are two o.
the most important qualifications of a
soldier. If a soldier cannot shoot straight
he is worthless.
There being many recruits in camp
it was decided this year to adopt a new
method in the development of rifle firing.
Instead of as in the past having the vari-
Gus companies fire as units, the unite this
year was six men from each COMPANY.
Each unit of six men, beginning with
the most inexperienced, was brought on
the range by an experienced rifleman.
These men, before being allowed to fire.
were given instruction as to the use of
sights, trigger pulls, use of sling and
scoring. They were then started at 200
yards i'll the prone position for trial and
given five shots, these five shots being
for instruction only, as the regulations
require shots for record at 200 yards to
be fred standing.
If the score at 200 yards prone was
satisfactory the soldier firing was allow
ed to fire ten shots for record at 200 Yards,
two sighting shots being allowed The
marksmen S course Class C is 200
yards, 10 shots standing, possible
score so; 800 yards, 10 shots sitting or
kneeling. possible score so; 500 Yards,
10 shots prone, possible score 50; total
possible, $50
For marksman 9S out of $50 is re-
quired or an average of 3 23 at each
range.
At camp for two and one-half DAYS,
the department Of rifle practice develop
ed the recruits and others with little eX-
perience, principally at 200 yards, by
which time most satisfactory results were
Shown. During the camp 81 marksmen
were qualified, p of them on Friday
the last day of camp. From
January to July %. before camp, 46
marksmeu were qualified, making a total
Of l2S marksmen qualified this year.
Many of these men before the end of the
year will be further qualified as sharp
shooters and expert riaemen.
compared WITH last year, sixteen eN-
pert rihemen, two sharpshOoters and
sixty-four marksmen were qualified. The
excellent showing this year is very graft !

"A Farmers Institute is to be

at the Opera House and we es-

Institutes in South Dakota have
come to stay. They carry to the
farmer the message of advanced
methods of farming, of better
crops, better stock and increas-
ed comforts of the farm.
Each lecturer who will address
these meetings is a practical far
mer who has demonstrated on his
farm that which he advocates on
the platform. Not only do we de
sire the interest of the farmer in
these Institutes, but we want tn
cooperation of the townspeople

PROLIFIC ALFALFA
New Record Established by q
Plant Grown at the South Dar
kota State Col!tge.


Brookings, S. D., Jan. 25.-
Forty-one thousand three hum
dred seeds is a new record estab-
lished by one Of Professor Ham
sens new alfalfa plants. This
fact was brought forth recently
by Preseason Hansen at the Sioux
Falls Conservation Congress and
at the State Horticulture Society
which met at Brookings last
week, when a report was made
of the progress with the Russian
and Siberian alfalfas. 1t will be
recalled thai Professor Hansen
was special agricultural explorer
for the U. s. Department of Ag-
rlculture, and that he brought
these plants back with him in
1906 and 1908. One of these
plants was exhibited at the state
fair at Huron last September
bearing 25, 600 seeds. This was
considered wonderful, but re-
Gently while checking up the
seasons selection the professor
finds a great many plants are
exceeding this record, including
the plant already mentioned
bearing over Al, 900 seeds.
According to Professor Han
sen, one acre set with these
plants at two by four feet would
yield in round numbers eighteen
bushels Of seed, worth about
$500 at present prices. One
hundred acres would yield lOO,-
600 pounds, "eaough to transfer
the alfalfa industry of the state
from un uncertain to a certain
foundation"
! Prof. Hansen visited the Black
Hills recently and made prepara-
tions for test Of these new al
falfas upon the highest points
where the climatic conditions are
more severe than upon the lower
levels and foothills. This alfalfa
breeding has two objects in view:
first to produce a plant for hay,
and second, to produce harder
alfalfa which will grow upon
rough lands unfit for cultivation.
Professor Hansen is preparing
a brief circular describing the
alfalfa work of the season,
which will be sent to applicants
as soon as published.
