PROGRESSIVES
IN HOT FIGHT
However, This Faction of South
Dakota Republicans Finally
Comes to Terms.
TAFT IS WARMLY APPLAUDED
Governor Vescey Will Lead Wing of
Party in Coming Fight Tariff is
Approved Only in Part by
the Platform.
Huron, S. I).. Feb. 2.V After a bat
tle of four hours pence settled ovor the
conference of the progressive wing of
the republican party of South Dakota
nftor midnight, and It. O. Richard
was made chairman of the campaign I
committee for the primary in June
nnd Governor Vcssey will be the party
loader on a platform embodying the
ideas of the leaders of both the Rich
ards and Senn factions.
The platform applauds Taft for loy
alty to the Roosevelt principles of
progressive republicanism and pledges
his administration the support of the
progressive republicans of South Da
kota in nn effort to obtain the enact
ment of legislation embodying these
principles.
"The dominating issue in the com
ins campaign," says the platform, "is
the wresting of control of national
legislation for special interests, In
trenched behind Speaker Cannon and
Leader Aldrich of the senate and their
supporters."
It not only demands the retirement
of Cannon as speaker but urges the
election of a successor to him "who is
committed to and is supported by pro
gressive principles."
The platform approves the new tariff
as a fulfillment of party pledges, but
recommends remedying inequalities.

IN NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS
Most of Those Who Came to This
State Last Vear Are Fin

NEW ARRIVALS TOTAL 21,635
According to the annual report of
the commissioner-general of Immigra
tion, Just Issued for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1909, Michigan ranks
as seventh state In point of the num
ber of immigrants received. The re
port, which is the first signed by Dan
iel J. Keefe.of Detroit, shows a total
Immigration of 7S1.7S6. This is the
lowest number since FJ02.
Michigan received 21.63.". The lare
est number of any one race was 3,201
Finns, most of whom went to the
mines in the upper peninsula. There
were 2,U3o Poles, and 2,792 English.
The great majority of the latter were
Canadians. Italians to the number of
1,1 SG came to augment the population.
Only one Chinese is reported ns enter
ing. "What is the reason of the Increased
and still increasing inflow of Iberic
and Slavic people?" asks the report,
and answers it: "The peasants of the
countries mentioned have for a num
ber of years supplied a rich harvest
to the promoter of immigration. The
promoter is usually a steamship ticket
agent, employed on a commission
basis, or n professional money lender,
or a combination of the two. His
only interest is the wholly selfish one
of gaining his commission and collect
ing his usury. lie Is employed by the
steamship lines, large and small, with
out scruple, and to the enormous pro
fit of such lines.
"The bureau has been meeting this
situation as best it could with the law
at its disposal by rejecting large num
bers of aliens, especially where parties
of them have come from the same
localities and are destined to the same
addresses: but it Is difficult to secure
evidence of unlawful inducement.. The
aliens are coached to hide the facts.
If this immigration is to be materially
reduced, the law must be strengthened
by extending the definition of the term
'contract laborer to Include aliens in
duced to migrate by false pretenses."

the Washington day banquet at the
Congregational church. The speaker
flayed aristocratic churches that flaunt
their wealth in the eyes of the poor

said, "is a poor man."
"The rich man lives in n piano by
himself. He la not a happy man. It
Is the poor man who gets the most
out of life."
Throughout his Fpeech there was
practically nnthlnsf said to Indicate hrt
wa 1 n candidate for governor. In the
course of bis remarks, Mr. Osborn
turned to a motto hanging on the wall
which read: "Are we meeting our re
sponsibilities?" Digressing for the mo
ment, he declared we are not, spirit

"The evolution of civilization." was
Ms subject, one which afforded hi.n

GOOD THING FOR THE COUNTRY
In Lecture at the Columbia University
Well Known Authority Says Ar
gument of Withdrawal of
Money is Foolish.
New York, Feb. 25. Prof. Edward
A. Steiner of Iowa college, who is de
livering a course of lectures at Colum
bia university Is In favor of unrestrict
ed immigration into this country.
In his first lecture to the und-r
graduates ho said:
"There Is greater need In thia coun
try for men who are willing to work
with their hands than for men who live
by their wits. The 800,000. immigrants
who came to our shores last year serv
ed, a far better purpose than would
an equal number of university grad
uates with hands uncallouscel and
minds unwilling to begin work at the
bottom of the ladder.
"The argument that the country is
Impoverished by the withdrawal .if
money of returning Immigrants 's
foolish. Most of the money that is
taken abroad goes In the wallets of
Yankee tourists, expatriates and helr-cs.-e
who are marrying Into the no
bility. "The pilgrim fathers were merely
steerage passengers on a par utih
those of the present day."
LEHT0 TAKES ON WEIGHT;
IS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Karl Lehto, the copper country
cntch-ns-cftch-can champion, is al
most ready for the most important
match In his career which is to take
place next Tuesday night In the Pa
lestra, against Stanislaus Zhyszko, the
Polish champion. Lehto has been
training faithfully for tho match, and
although he Is nlwHys In fairly good
condition, will be In better form for
the bout than ever before. Lehto hn7
been taking on weight to prepare f,)"
Zb.wzko and expects to enter the rln?
weighing about 195 pounds. This add
ed avoirdupois is not mere fat. buf
good iolld muscle, ns the South Range
man has worked enough to harden up
all through his period of training.
Lehto is confident that he can stay
the limit with the Pole. He has prac
ticed the famous body hold, which has
terrorized co many of the pole's op
nonents and feels confident that he
. can break it, despite the weight and
strength of his opponent. Lehto feels
that he is the equal of any man wh
has ever stayed the limit with Zhysz
ko, and can see no reason why he
should not be able to repeat. He will
not attempt to throw the Pole and wll1
be content if he succeeds In staying
the limit.
Zhyszko will arrive In Calumet, Sun
day noon and enjoy a good long rest
before the match. He should be in
the best possible condition for the
contest. He will likely bo tendered a
reception by copper country Poles af
ter the contest.
Considerable rivalry has developed
between the Polish and Finnish resi
dents of Calumet over the respective
merits of their champions and some
large bets will undoubtedly be wager
ed on the outcome. On the strength
of the Pole's record, his countryman
here feel warranted in backing him
to win, but Lehto's friends are un
shaken In the confidence they place In
him, and believe that he can success
fully defend h'mself for one hour
against any man.
Special Train Service.'
Arrangements for a special train
for the accommodation of South
flange people next Tuesday night have
been made by the Copper Range Rail
road Co. The regular train, whlch
leaves pnlnesdale at .6:30 o'clock, will
take the passengers to Calumet, tho
trajn stopping at all Intermediate
points. The tra'n will leave the Red
Jacket depot at 11 o'clock for Laurium
and If the wrestling match is over it
that time will pull out as soon as the
passengers are aboard. If the contest
Is not over the train will wait' until it
Is. Special Sunday rates will prevail.
On the return trip the train will o
right through to Pnlnesdale.
Rumor Anent Rink Denied.
Rumors have been circulated about
Calumet to the effect that Zybszko has
refused to wrestle at the palestra be
cause of the danger of tho rink being
cold. This rumor Is emphatically de
nied by the promoters of the match
In Calumet who hold the Pole's con
tract to appear there next Tuesday
evening. Kvcry arrangement is being
made to add to the comfort of the
wrestlers and It Is asserted that they
will be as well provided for there as
any other place In the copper country.
A special platform will be built In the
center of the rink which will be heated
by gas burners. As the rink will be
closed as tightly as possible before the
match, It Is thought that the specta
tors will be much more comfortable

REV. MR. GILLIES TALKS ON
PROBLEMS OF NEW AMERICA
Well Known Minneapolis Preach
er Lectures at the Calu
met Theater.
GIVES SPLENDID DISCOURSE
Rev. Andrew Gillies of Minneapolis,
the well known preacher and lecturer,
delivered a very interesting address
last evening In the Calumet theater,
under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.,
to a large and attentive audience, on
the subject, "Tho New America."
Ah a lecturer, Rev. Mr. Oillies Is be
lieved to have few equals. Forceful In
his oratory, convincing In his argu
ment.', and with an attractive per
sonality, Mr. Gillies had his auditors
intensely Interested from the start and
held their close attention at all times.
He presented his Ideas of what Amer
ica should aim at In social, economical
and other features connected with its
national life, and talked in a convinc
ing and attractive way.-
Throughout, his address was punc
tuated with amusing anecdotes and
stories, all of them used to prove his
line of argument, or to illustrate, us
he said. In a concrete form, the aims
and Ideas, he was driving at.
His pen pictures of New York lif?,
where he was engaged at one time as
a minister, in a "fashionable and
aristocratic parish," as he termed it,
were true to life. He took his audi
ence with him Into the home of one f
New York's "400," costing at least $1.
500.000 to build and furnish, described
all the magnificent pictures, art gal
leries. Italian garden, etc., and thei
on to the tenement district in the se'f
same parish, into a home where ,i
cleanly German woman and her four
daughters were living on a miserable
pittance of $6 per week.
One of his strong points was the
necessity of abolishing the color line.
Mr. Gillies believes that this will have
to be done. lie quoted a recent In
stance of drawing the color line In his
home town of Minneapolis, showing
that the north as well as the south,
has similar views regarding the black
man, no matlvr r what Ids culture,
breeding, etc. Rpv. Mr. Gillies said
that Minneapolis Intended, making a
bid for the next general conference
of the Methodists. He stated how he
went to one of Minneapolis' prominent
motel men. and endeavored to secure
accommodations for some colored
ministers, two fr. three of whom were
en of the brightest of Intellect, re
inement and education. Tills partleu
'ar hotel mm positively refused to en
tertain them. Mr. Gillies Informed the
hotel man, that the national conven
tion of ministers would mean some
thing like $300,000 to the city, but that
made no difference. The lecturer
spoke In scathing terms of the recent
lynching- attempts at Cairo, 111., where
the mob was anxious to take a man's
life, simply because he was black, for
snatching a purse containing a fe v
dollars.
He touched on the alien question,
and said that the alien coming to this
country had his rights and this country
should see that he got them. Mr. Gil
lies made a hit when he said that there
was hardly a family In that or any
other audience, that had not a "steer
age" passenger in It.
He quoted Jerome, Xew York's ex
prosecuting attorney, whom he visit
ed with other ministers some time agi,
and said that Mr. Jerome when risked
why the law In Europe was more re
spected than here, replied, that If some
prominent person or representative of
some Institution asked a European
lawyer whether there was not some
means of getting around the law .n
order to curry out some scheme, he
would probably be kicked out of tlu.t
lawyer's office. ,Mr. Jerome added that
It was quite different In this country,
where, if the price was In sight, the
wheels would be set In motion. Mr.
Gillies said very impressively, "UnUl
our lawyers learn to reverance the law,
we will have a problem to face thnt
will shake this great, country of ours
to Its very foundations."'
He left the working out of tho vari
ous problems for the betterment rf
America to his hearers, and concluded
hi address amid vigorous applause.

E
Premier Asquith of British Par

by Insurgents.
GREY FITTED FOR LEADERSHIP
Close Observers Anticipate Resigna
tion of Asquith Because of Diffi
culty in Securing Majority
on Needed Measures.
London, Feb. 2i. As the session of
parliament proceeds it becomes daily
more evident to close observers that
contingencies are likely to force an
early change of administrutio l. With
the situation now confronting him, t
will not be surprising if Mr. Asquith
resigns office after a futile i.Ucnipt to
perform the primary duty of Betting a
majority for those measure requisite
for the carrying on of the Kind's Gov
ernment. If Mr. Balfour declines to""77uc ""of
fice, and Mr. Asquith lvf noj to go
on, It will become necessary to cast
about for some one else to assume the
responsibility. It is believed :y com
petent observers that the only avail
able man possessing th-j ecuisite
qualities of leadership is Sir I M ward
Grey. There are those who co ifidcaily
declare that It is only a question of
time until Sir Edward becomes prime
minister.
The grandson of sir George Clrey,
who was severul times home B-nre-tary,
and the grand nephew of Farl
Grey of reform bill fame. Sir Edward
inherits political instincts and talent
of the highest order. He had scarcely
attained his majority when he became
private secretary of Sir Evelyn Dar
ing (later Lord Cromer), nnd he acted
in the same capacity to Mr. Childers
at the time the latter was chancellor
of the exchequer. Entering parliament
at the age of 23 years, he made some
stir at an early period of his career
by his independence on the question of
Irish land purchase. He was only 30
when Mr. Gladstone appointed him, in
1S92, under secretary for foreign af
fairs. As his chief was in tho house
of lords, his position was important,
and it became particularly delicate
when Lord Hosebery succeeded to the
premiership. Sir Edward Grey had to
expound a policy with which It was
suspected Lord Hoseberys principal
colleague did not always sympathize.
He did the work which trien fell to
his hands with courage as well as with
propriety. Later, during the period of
liberal opposition, be came strongly to
the front r.s a critic of the foreign pol
icy of the Ilalfour administration.
Although his style Is restrained. Sir
Edward's speeches are nearly always
impressive and effective. Once he
was nnnouncecl to address a meeting
of northern miners who were keen rad
icals. Instead of giving them a slush
ing harangue Sir Edward spoke se
dately on foreign affairs, yet his man
ner was such that his audience listen
ed with deep interest.

depo sited this morning- in the l'ir:t
National bank of Hatn ock, to s re as
a purse for a band contest between

Iter l Milan. i of Houghton nnd Le-nnar l
Meola of Hancock, an 1 will remain
tlure until the C. & H. band mana;"-im-nt
is heard from.
The act! m taken by the copper coun

the C. H. Vnd on be half or D'l'r
bar. ."s band. It is not known wheth
er the form.-r will accept, but if tl"
c j p- r country nvaniz.it ion d-s act, a
vry i nt !- ti iif contest will cnue.
It is be-l'evc.l that the challenge i?
th' result of a reoent criticism of th"
It'l'rbano band, wld. h apj e-ar.-d In aa
Eastern mii-i al paper over the simi i

Etirri d up in the musical circl-s of this
