s @for heavens sake give us a rest"
The following extracts will give an
idea of the I'M
sThe Register has lived by
spite or malice and it ,dislikes those
who do
=
s"There are some people and once
in a while. a newspaper, notably one
at.Kimball, that claims to be good
because 1t claims somebody else Is
bad no body elses bad qualities make
any other mans good ones.
No merit that properly belongs to
Klmball takes one single merit away
from Chamberlain that properly be-
longs to our town, and what Cham-
berlaln does not possess does not give
to kirnball what she does not possess
and there Is pc vip'ng it out"
"The world is large and resources
plenty and why this eternal, petty,
contemplate pickering"
"All of those who ever want to
slur Chamberlain, includes and co,.-
mences on the Register and its editor
because they know they are of its
first and foremost friends"
The GRAPHIC does not believe in
spite or malice either. In fact it is
evident tina. it is not tho GRApnIc to
whom the Register refers. Yet, we
cannot refrain from having a little
something to say on the subject. The
Register breaches a good sermon.
The inconsistency of its editor is,
however, plainly apparent to one
who has been a weary reader of the
gaseous editorials that paper has CON
tanned from time to time. The Reg
lister does not practice, or rather has
not practiced It's new policy. Had it
done SO it would not ask "Why this
eternal, petty, contemplate blcker-
ing"
The Register reminds us of the
little boy of four summers who was
riding a hobby horse with a compan-
ion. The little fellow was seated
rather intentionally on tho horses
neck. After a reflective pause he
said: 81 think If one of us was to get
off could ride better" Chamber.
lain is riding the neck of Brule Co.
and the Register wants Klmball to
"get off" The GRAPHIC can assure
its cotemporary that Kimball will
not do anything of the kind. 1t has
the best position and will stay there
If anybody "gets Off it viii be the
party on the neck.
The GRAPHIC does not censure an,
paper for defending Its own town o
for booming it in q legitimate man
ner. The Register, however, owe
does it. II is gwen too much t,
blowing about what a GREAT cit,
Chamberlain is going to be, S,
i GREAT that lower case type canno
, convey it. Its visionary editorial
make people tired. The Register a
so does not abstain from givin;
neighborlng towns a rub now an,
J then, and its editor, when he gets i
!, an uneasy position, is like the boy o
the bobby horse. He thinks Ii
could ride better if some one woul
3get off" The editor of the Regl
: ter should not ''lay the f1atterin
JUNCTION to his soul" that he and tn
Register are regarded as the afr.
and foremost friends" of Chambe
lain and for this reason singled o,
9 for attack, but for reasons state
: above; The Registers excellent c
d temporary, the Democrat, has =
: : trouble, no battles to fight, and
fully as good a friend 10 Chambe
lain as the Register, and doing
I good work. but on a more liber
policy.
j The editor of the GRAPHIC ney,
ic had the good fortune to meet a mic
,e set Of people socially than ar. to |
or found in Chamberlain sa;ding IL
n editor Of the Regis q, who is a pc
sonal friend. Furthermore, IL
GRAPHIC Is willing to accord
Chamberlain without a kick all til
the town is entitled to. 1t has new
published anything against Chambe
e lain only when provoked to do SO
8 the Registers slu.s on Kimball.
g When the reservation this side
i opened Chamberlain will be a GOO
al town, but no better situated tn.
lie Klmball or Plankinton. 1t will mer
" be on nearly an equal footin
If That. it will be a great city simp
n because it is on a big river Is an II
e warranted conclusion. That it W
lg outstrip the towns mentioned no o.
#. outside of Chamberlain believes. II
er reservation across the river will be
no benefit to it. Settlers will n
