slider that the value live stock is an
independent and all important factor
to reckon with. When the Democrats
juggled that tariff it directly involved
over billion dollars worth of proper
ty owned by South Dakota farmers.
now think what the total value would
be including all the live stock and
agricultural States of this great
North West.
Democrats claim that, 'supply and
demand controls and fixes the price
that our wheat market is governed by
Liverpool" very well, If the tariff, on
wheat serves no good purpose why
not let it alone? Canada exports
wheat; America exports wheat; Liver
pool governs export wheat but has
nothing to do under Jour protected
tariff in governing the price between
Winnipeg and Minneapolis, if 1t does,
why and what causes the premium at
Minneapolis over Winnipeg?
At the time the reciprocity bill was
being discussed by Congress, when it
became evident that it would pass,
cash wheat at Winnipeg advanced
while cash wheat at Minneapolis de-
clined in price. When authoritative
information was given that the Cana
dian people rejected the treaty cash
wheat at Winnipeg declined and cash
wheat at Minneapolis advanced. We
ask any Democrat in S. d. to explain
the cause of the effect the reciprocity
treaty had on the wheat markets, at
lifetime Of its passage by our Ameri-
can Congress, and after its rejection
by the Canadian people,
If we do not wish to jeopardise the
interests of our farmers, upon which
depend all other business of this state
we must reserve the American mar
ket for our South Dakota farmers,
and let the Canadian farmers seek
other markets for his surplus. Every
bu of Canadian wheat imported
means that one more buShel Of Ameri-
can wheat must find its way to for
eign market across the water. If the
transportation rate from Winnipeg
on wheat costs Gets per bu delivered
Minneapolis it will be giving hun
dreds of Canada's farmers advantage,
on transportation rates, over hundreds
of South Dakota farmers, because
there are many wheat shipping points
In this state where the freight rate to
Minneapolis amounts to l5cts per bu
on wheat.
Democrats need not worry over the
farmers ignorance, nor fear that
"Free Trade Bugaboo" is liable to
mislead them. Our farmers are more
alive to their interests than they
were 20 years ago. They are better in
formed on Free Trade history than
the tricky politicians. Do not forget
the farmer Is human, nearly all OF
them have experience adversely, and
tasted poverty in years gone by, They
realize their fellow beings who slave
and toll in the shops and factories of
the big cities are entitled to more OF
the fruits of their labors. They will
gladly part with their tenth to aid
those who suffer, but they demand
their contribution shall 60 into the
pockets of those who need it, and not
into the vaults of the greedy. When
the polls open Nov. S, we farmers will
do our duty, we will register our pro-
test against the party, upholding the
one hundred and ninty nine, for their
treachery for their attempt to press
down upon the brow of farmer that

beliefs of millions of citizens. Roose.
velt during his presidency began to
interpret them and to put into con-
crete form and phrase these aspira-
tons and convictions.
Like all effective leaders of historic
movements, he crystallized and gave
visible substance to the deep-rooted
longings of men. He voiced what mil
lions felt But the cause was born in
the heart of this nation, and there lies
Its strength. Even though that bullet

Had Grant died in the field, would

ruption Of the Union? His loss would
have cost battles, but it could not have
prevented the ultimate triumph of his
cause. So II the Progressive leader
had fallen, there would have been pro-

View let us say that we believe it is
the view Theodore Roosevelt would
have his followers take We believe
that had he lost his life the epitaph he
would wish to be written of him would
be that he had served well, but that,
as he himself said in the face of death,
the cause would go on without him.
This was what moved him to that
supreme proof of devotion last Mon
day night. This has been his spirit
since the beginning. He showed it
when, confronting the formidable nom
tnation of Governor Wilson, he decid-
ed to make the fight. He said he felt
like soldier under orders: If he was
summoned even to lead forlorn hope.
he must obey.
And this, we believe, is the view of
the great body of Progressives. They
look upon Roosevelt as an unequaied
figure of brave and sagacious leader
ship; they are profoundly grateful
for the strength that he gives to the
movement, and they rejoice that he is
spared to head the march to victory.
But they know the cause would not

THE sun IS
SAID TO BE
GROWING COLD
ASTRONOMERS MEASURING IT
But viii Heat the World For
Some Time Yet

San Francisco. Cal, Nov, 1S.-At
Mount Wilson, the Carnegie lnstitu-
ton is spending immense sums in
erecting towers from which observa-
tions may be made as to the force of
the rays of the sun. 1t is intended 10
discover what is the rate of loss Of
heat by the sun, if it is large enough
to be measured.
Now, it is certain that the sun can
not continually give off heat without
losing a great deal and that in a per-
iod of inestimable length it will grow
cold. Formerly it was believed that
this process was comparatively rapid.
The discovery of radium has led 10
the idea that maybe with safety to
ourselves the sun can issue heat TO a
much longer time than was supposed
and that there Is no reason for sup
posing that the earth will suffer for
millions of years 1t Is to test these
theories that the new experiments are
to be made, but 1t Is certain that they
will have to extend over many years
before they have any great value.
We know that the universe contains
many dead" suns, those which ha. e
given forth all their heat Some as
tronomers think they are much M e
numerous than the burning ones. 1t
is believed that once sun is
dead" it will fly through space undl
it comes in contact with some other
sun, dead or alive, and the impact will
set them both at tremendous heat,
create new solar systems with attend
ant planets, and thus the process may
go on throughout eternity. Our near
est neighbor is twenty-five trillions Of
miles away That may be the average
distance between all of the billion suns
ing through space at the rate of 12
miles an hour las does our SUM 1t
will take long time to cross these
spaces, but it is inevitable that sooner
or later collisions will take place. A
dozen of these have been notived IN
the last few years. Our turn may
come some time, but as nearly as can
be estimated not for thirty million
years
The Carnegie Institution will study
this question, but apparently there
will be no danger for at least ten mil
lion years-maybe much longer. This
is reassuring.

JAS. R. ANSLEY
IS CALLED BY
DEATH SUNDAY
AGED RESIDENT OF AMERIlUS
Pioneer Citizen and Veteran
of Civil War

In the death of Mr.. James Russell
Ansley Americas has sustained the
loss of one of its Oldest and most
esteemed citizens. The end came on
Sunday afternoon and followed an
immediate illness of five weeks dura-
ton, although Mr. Ansley's general
health had been impaired for the past
several months.
He was seventy-eight years of age;
an upright, honest and honored citi-
zen; a consistent member of the
Methodist church, and esteemed in
the community where he so long re-
sided.
Mr. and Mrs. Ansley, with their
two daughters, Misses Belle and An
ME Ansley, resided with Mr., and Mrs.
j. H. Rogers at their home on Lee
street, Mrs. Rogers being his daugh-
ter as well. Besides his immediate
family he has one sister, Mrs. Susan
Smith, and a brother, c. w. Ansley,
besides other relatives in the county.
Although a native of Jasper county,
Ca, Mr. Ansley removed to Sumter
while yet young man and more than
a half century of his useful life was
spent here. He was Confederate
veteran, having served through the
four years of the civil war as a men,
Der of the Sumter Light Guards,
Fourth Georgia Regiment, c. S. A.
Mr.. Ansley was successfully engag-
ed as planter here until impaired
health necessitated his retirement
from active work upon the farm.
The funeral services, conducted
Monday afternoon from the family
residence, were largely attended, the
services having been conducted by
Rev. 0. B. Chester, assisted by Rev.
j. B. Lawrence.
The pallbearers were Messrs. John
B. Ansley, o. L. Dixon, George Rog-
ers, G. e. Buchanan, w. NJ Jones, J.

x2 T is proposed to set aside 72
square miles of the Painted Des-
ert of Arizona as national mon
ument. under the provisions of
the Lacey act, that 1t may for
ever remain in it's present condition
for the enjoyment of the people. The
locality it is desired to thus distin-
guish is in Apache county, beginning
nine miles north of Adamana station.
A recent railroad survey runs through
the district. When this line is built
it is believed that the locality, which
is now little known and not often Wis
tied. will become one of the famous
scenic wonderlands of the southwest.
There is no more vague and indefi-
mite term in American geography
than The Painted Desert" The ap-
pellation was invented by the early
Spanish explorers, who applied the
term "El Pintado Desierto" to any
stretch of multi-colored bad lands, but
never attempted to contine it to any
particular locality.

is indicated as a narrow strip of ter
ritory bordering the Little Colorado
river; but this is open to the objec-
tion that there are at least a score of
desert stretches of equal or greater
extent, with hues as gorgeous. George
Wharton Jams defines the Painted
Desert region as extending from the
Rio Grande to the Salton sea, and
from southern Utah to northern
Mexico. BY no means all of this
vast region is desert in character,
and much of its desert expanse con-
sists of mere stretches of neutral
colored sands; but the essential con-
ditions of color and barrenness exist
at intervals throughout the whole re-
gion, writes John l.. Cowan in the
Philadelphia Sunday Record.

Newspapers controlled by M. E. Hay
say that Bob Hodge, Bull Moose candi-
date for governor, is wife-beater, a
prize-fighter, and unfit to be governor.
Nothing is said about Mrs. Hodges
present occupation, for that would
spoil the effect of the story.
Every Republican legislator who is
the author of or fought for progressive
measures since Hay has been governor,
measures which Hay claims credit for,
is on the stump today asserting that
his efforts had 10 assistance from Hay.
All of the Republican papers that have
not been reached by the Hay money

Hay and his appOintees have given to
this state the most recklessly extrava-
