The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1894-12-15
A DOUBLE HEADER.
The Daily Leader Appears in Enlarged
Form to Accommodate the Demand
on Its Advertising Columns
Something More About Fake
Newspapers.

The DAILY LEADER this evening pre-
sents it's readers with a double sheet in
order that it's large list of advertisers may
be better served. This double sheet
edition will Of course not be continued
as there is no demand for such q paper
in Madison, especially at this time Of
business stringency, however much we
would like to send out such a paper
every day. The double sheet was all
printed in Madison. No patent inside"
about it. The reader will observe that It
compares favorably with the metropoli-
tan dailies Of the country. Such a pa
per issued every day would do credit to
the city of Madison. And as a matter of
fact, such a paper could be issued every
day at less cos than this community is
now paying for SO called local newspa
pers.
The DAILY LEADER has always been
ready to expose frauds in this communi-
ty, but it must confess that it has been
derelict in its duty in the matter of ex-
posing newspaper frauds for fear that
uncharitable people might assign such
exposures to a selfish motive. But in
all candor, and without a particle OF sell
tshness in the matter, The DAILY
LEADER unqualitiedly states without
fear of contradiction by any respectable
newspaper man, that Madison is the
most curse-ridden town in the west so
far as fake newspapers are concerned.
The Madison 'daily" Sentinel Look
at it; do you call that a newspaper? The
two inside pages are printed in Sioux
City and the two outside pages, carry
ing from two to three columns Of blank
space, keep your eye on this space;
"your advertisement would look we'll in
this space" etc., are printed in Mad
ison. And then the people of this com-
munity are called upon to pay for such
a senseless thing at newspaper prices.
Not only called upon but plead with,
prayed with and bored to stake my pa
per-" Laying aside all decency and
shame, the Sentinel hangs on like q
grampus until through sheer disgustrand
a desire to be let alone it's victim yields.
Not only in this particula. is the Senti-
mel a fake, but those in this community
who are in a position to know viii ap-
preciate the statement that there is an
absolute lack of principle, business or
otherwise, in the Sentinel's methods.
1t is a continual fake and crib from our
weeks end to the other. There is abso-
lutely no field in Madison for the Senti-
mel and ats publisher knows it, and he
simply stands on the ground waiting for
something to turn up. He has long
since discarded professional decency
and the desire to bring credit II the
profession and the community. His
Office with it's miserable collection Of
materials, reeking with filth and 6irt, is
an eye-sore to the passerby-a disgrace
to the community. Again, the Sentinel
stands ready any day in the week TO at
tack our most worthy institntionAfas it
has often done, when they have faded TO
pour into its lap patronage to which it
was no entitled and work which il was
unable to do with its rlckety old ma
chinery and worn out materials which
were second.h hand when brought to
Madison. The Sentinel is q miserable
fraud. devoid of shame and decency.
The Madison Outlook is an imposi
ton on the town and the community.
Think OF it: Six pages of the Outlook
are printed in Aberdeen and two dirt
begrimed pages are printed ia Madison
tlsn't that 80, Farley. Such a fake in
o town the size and importance of Mad
isoni D~isgraceful! Why, the first pa
per printed in Madison away back Id
the los, with o population of 200 people
in the enire county, was q Chicago Inter
Ocean compared With the Outlook, edi-
torially mechanically and otherwise.
And yet the Outlook brazenly claims to
be a Madison enterprise and demands
patronage from our m-erchantaand other
business men who in their goodness Of
heart have submitted to being robbed by
fake newspapers for, 10, these many
years. And In return, TO build up the
community and enlighten the young, The
