Jaoobson The Centerville Journal says: "Bro Hippie of the Pierre Capital-Journal denies having a grouch over the matter of insurance statement publl cations, but Insists the scheme Is a system of blackmail upon the Insur ance companies to create a fund with which to corrupt newspapers. He however fails to give a legitimate reason for abolishing the publication." If any man in the state knows more about "blaokmall" or how to "corrupt newspapers" than Editor Hippie, we would like to see the color of his hair. While the old corpora tion gang was running the state they just loved to "blackmail" Insurance companies, railroad companies, ex press companies and everybody else who had a wad. It's different now Other men are dispensing patronage and other men are getting some of it, If the stand pats were runnlug the state you wouldn't hear a peep in a thousand years. The republican state ticket is good enough fbr any man who wants hon esty and ability In state affairs. Gov Veseey has won the confidence of the people and his splendid endorsement at the primary against Eganism and •tandpatlsm and Richards Is a reoord any man might be proud of. He made a splendid campaign and told the people the honest truth every where and they believed him. The state tleket la all right, but when It oomes to supporting congressmen who will not represent the people In oon ffrass, a very serious oonditioo is pl anted, because, If progressives vote for Bruke and Martin, they will say by their votes that they endorse Can nanism. Let every republican do his duty fearlessly. Go!. Roosevelt Is after the trust robbtag stand patters In New York, where they call themselves the "old guard," and the old guard would lather see republican defeat than Boosevelt win out as a progressive Jssder. President Taft hits the "old guard" and Sunny Jim Sherman, fbr their duplicity and trickery. Its nasty mess all around from Sherman down to little Tim Woodruff. Bftlllnce* says he won't resign, Can non says be will not refuse the speak enhlp again, while Qol. Roosevelt and Garfield, LaFollette abd Plnchot, and a host of progressives are outllne fcur a campaign that will save the people from the plunderers. The battle Is between the people and special jrifllage. Ths people will win. republican progressives of swept the state islet week a bigger victory than .the bonnets. Telephone the news Uaen hear him swear. Chancn says fas will be a oandl forvpeaker again. That's a hard forevea the administration to will fas flghting Taft A Hard Job. Pierre Journal:—The Rapid City Journal aptly suggests that South Dakota needs a snake commissioner. Perhaps one will be created this winter. That will give some other fellow a job to draw a salary. If a snake commissioner should be appointed as these stand pat papers suggest, and he was ordered to kill all the human snakes raised, fed and nourished by the old corporation gang, he would have a hard Job, one re quiring rubber gloves and a bottle of ammonia to protect his smelling ma chine, and the job at Rapid City would be just awful. The Brookings Agricultural College has taken up the question of a proper time to select seed corn, as advocated by the LEADER two weeks ago. This Is an important matter, as every farmer well knows, and it is hoped none will neglect this duty when the corn is fit. We publish an article from the college in this Issue of the LEADER which every farmer should read. Minnesota through a procla mation by the governor has selected a week for this important work and the time Is from September 12 to 17. The Brookings College bulletin sug gests September 10 as a good time to select seed corn and how to do It, President Roosevelt said to the Editor of the LEADER, the last time that he was in Sioux Falls, while he and the writer were discussing territorial events and Indian fighters, If I had not come to Dakota Territory I would never have been President." He probably meant that his cowboy life made him strong and vigorous and that his popularity in that vigorous life fitted him for army service and that made him Governor of New York and vice president, and the band of fate led him onward. Col. Roosevelt will have a magnifi cent reception at Sioux Falls. Thou sands will be there to honor our greatest American citizen and former resident of Dakota Territory. Martin and Burke stand for Cannon and Cannon stands for the robber combines and the robber combines are robbing the people, then how can any man who loves a square deal vote for Martin or Burke. Joe Cannon say? he will die with his boots on—yes, a good many ob structionists have passed over the di vide with their boots on. Colonel Roosevelt left New York Tuesday for a trip through fourteen states. He will deliver an address In each one of the states he passes through. Don't fall to see and hear him at Sioux Falls on Saturday after noon September 3. Colonel Roosevelt will be elected President in 1912. Some standpatters have already commenced to throw bricks at Roosevelt. That was expected. Are progressive papers going to swallow Martin and Burke? Wake up boys, don't be afraid to show your colors. God hates a coward. The Linooln-Roosevelt republicans of California won a great victory in the primary last week, defeating the Southern Pacific railroad republican stand pat gang that ruled and robbed that state for many years. Johnson progressive republican candidate for governor, has between 40 and 50,000 majority. He has fought the robbers for years and stood beside Ueney when one of the gang shot him lu the court room at San Francisco when Heney was prosecuting the boodlers All the state officers won out under the Lincoln Roosevelt banner, and progressive United States Senator among the fruits of that great Call fornla victory. is Must Stand Together. White Lake Wave: Colonel Linn the good insurgent brother who edits the Canton Leader, is opposing Burke and Martin in their congressional candidacy. He said a great many hard things against the gentlemen during the primary campaign and, be cause they chanced to be successful he sees no good reason for following the example of many other "progres sive" editors and swallowing his words. As far as he Is concerned they are just as much "Cannonites," spoils men and oorporatlonlsts as they were before their renomination, when they proclaimed they did not want to be elected with progressive votes The Colonel serves notice that if they are reelected It will not be with the as sistance of one progressive vote he has in mind. He outlines their plat form in the following: 'Mr. Burke is for Joe Cannon and be brazenly proclaims his fealty to the robber system that sustains Can non and Cannonlsm. Martin is for anything that helps Martin and the people can take care of themselves." Editor Linn has the right Idea. If progressive principles are to prevaii in this country and the evils of system politics stamped out, It must be ac complished by the progressives of both political parties standing togeth er for their interests as the conserva tives of both parties are wont to da What President Taft calls "party solidarity" is the club with which the interests have brained reform ever since parties were inaugurated. Congressman Nick Long worth, son In-law of Col. Roosevelt, says he wont support Gannon any longer and Can answers with "I dont give a whoop from Hades—I'll die with my boots on." How these props of the robber tariff gang do squirm under the searchlight of popular Indignation. The honest, ^independent republican policies of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Booasvelt will soon purge the grand old party of traitors. A PROCLAMATION. Thus far the season of 1010 through out the central and western states, has been one of exceptional drouth, in consequence of which the hay crop, together with that of the various small grains will, in those states, be quite materially shortened. As year follows year we realize more and more that Soutli Dakota lies well within the corn belt and that the corn crop is one of her most valuable resources. The good year 1909 gave us a greater yield of corn than we have ever had before in the history of the state, and during the present year corn lias thrived and undoubtedly will be the most substantial crop of the season. 1 am convinced that the careful fol lowing of more scientific methods will secure for us in the coming year a magnificent corn yield, far surpassing that of any previous year. The first essential of success in corn culture is, of course, the selection of good seed and, realizing the importance of se curing seed before the coming of frost I hereby proclaim September 9 and 10, A. D. 1910, as SEED CORN SELECTION DAYS, And would urgently request that all of our farmers go into their corn lields on those days and carefully and ju ciiciously select the best ears for seed for the coming year. By so doing the corn crop for the succeeding year will be materially increased. In testimony whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused to be atllxed the Great Seal of the State of South Dakota. Done at the Capitol in Pierre this 20tli day of August. A. D. 1910. R. S. VESSEY, Governor. SAMUEL C. POLLEY, Sec. of State. Re- Roosevelt Will Avoid sponsibility. The Sioux City Tribune discussing the receut standpat slap at Colonel Roosevelt in New York says: The news from Oyster Bay is more pacific and more like the real general. The first effect of the hot resentment fol lowing the Insult by the administra tion forces led by "Sunny Jim," was much in evidence. Colonel Roose velt's red blood surged rapidly, and bis Impulse was to reach out his long arm and sweep the "old guard," as the standpatters in the Empire state call themselves, from position. Calm er reflection and counsel have brought to the Colonel his sense of dignity. The Indignity put upon him is to be overlooked. He is not going to appear in a factional fight with cheap men of the "Sunny Jim'' order. lie is not going to assume any responsibility for the results of the campaign. The thought has come to him that it is not necessary for him to enter upon a warfare now. The Associated Press report from his home is the most important. The whole interpretation of it is that Mr Roosevelt's generalship is as excellept as his conduct In the saddle is brilliant. Wise general that he is, be •foresees that time, with her dis closures, and opportunity with her responsibilities, are great allies that he can depend upon to humble the men who have humiliated him. The colonel's conclusions are sound and his true friends generally will praise his caution and his moderation It is too early to begin the campaign of 1912, and why should he assume re sponsibility for what will happen this fall? The Taft administration is on trial for Its life. Colonel Roosevelt has been, as so many thousands of other good men havo been, offended by the administration, and all they have to do is to stand aside and permit the administration to extricate itself the best it can. This is what Colonel Rooseve1*- proposes to do. They Shouldn't. White Lake Wave:—Messrs. Martin and Burke have long been wedded to standpatism. There is neither record nor confession of their divorcement. Then why should the progressives support them? Everywhere progressives are re pudiating standpat congressmen. It would be a political disgrace for South Dakota to be represented for the next two years by a couple of con gressmen who represent the interests that are robbing the people. Congressman Sibley of Pennsylvania, a Standard Oil tool, spent over 840.000 In the primary campaign, or about $4 for every vote he got. The progress ives got after him and now he has withdrawn and may have to stand a criminal prosecution. Congressman Burke of this state went around In an automobile and was very particular about getting men to haul voters to the polls. The standpat congression al jackpot was in evidence. Mrs. Edith M. Fitch of Hurley, wife of the editor of the Herald, Is now in charge of the Woman Suffrage Campaign In this state. May she be successful In her great work, because a woman is just as much entitled to the ballot as a man. The rum in fluence is afraid of a ballot in the hands of the women of the nation, but God speed the day when woman suffrage shall be universal and the curse of rum a memory. The noblest element In life Is the tender and loving Influence of mother and sister and wife. Mrs. Lewis Lorenson of McNeely, Tripp oounty, favored the with a visit and a renewal subscrip tion Wednesday, and the date on the Lorenson LKADBK reads July 1, 1913, which places Mr. Lorenson at the head of t$e list of paid in advance subscribers. Correspondence: Grant. August 22, 1910. We passed Emeil Aulwes'pasture the other day and were amused to see a young Chester-White pig standing on its hind feet and sucking a cow.

Nordgaard in Lands church on Sunday. Don't go over to your neighbor's place looking for trouble, for if you do you will be sure to get it. If you don't believe this just ask E. E. It might be well for many people to regard the following note on "Reputa tion" in a serious light:—There Is a broad distinction between character and reputation, for one may be des troyed by slander, while the other can never be harmed save by its possessor Reputation is in no man's keeping, You and I cannot determine what other men shall think and say about us.

Kelley of Colman, Moody county, and Hon. W. W. Soule of Rapid City, were In Canton last week visiting old friends and looking over the political situation. John Kelley is one of the biggest farmers in Moody county, and finished stacking his wheat the day before be came to Canton and he built four big stacks himself. He is a strong be liever In LaFollette, and a radical progressive all along the line. When In congress as a populist, his record shows that he stood for the progressive policies that are now sweeping the country. "Equal rights and special privileges to none," was a populist slogan, and the same questions are up for settlement today. Mr. Kelley stands firmly for the rights of the people against special privilege and trustdomination. Mr. Soule who is in the congressional race with Mr. Kelley is also a radical progressive and stands squarely on a platform representing everything that Cum mins or LaFollette stands for. Kelley and Soule are seeking the Votes of men who believe in popular govern ment, who believe that Cannonlsm and Aldrichism is wrong, who believe that congress should legislate in the Interest of all the people Instead of the millionaire trust bosses like Aldrlch. Kelley and .Soule have no more use for Sugar Trust democrats like Fitzgerald of New York who helped Cannon, then they have for men like Burke and Martin who mis represented the people of this state and stood solid with the tariff robbers. Messrs. Kelley and Soule are going to make an active campaign and place the question of progressive legislation before the people. It is up to the voters of this state to say what kind of representation they want at Washington.
