The Western Editor.
Freak journalism is about the
best term The Editor can find for
Mrs. Carrie Nations paper, the
"Smasher's Mail" 1t will last about
as long as the traditional SNOWFALL

that long. OF Mrs. Nations crusade
The Editor has nothing to say. 1t
has its opinion, but as the matter is
not connected with the business of
publishing or printing it has no place
here. But such papers as "The
Smasher's Mail" are an injury to
legitimate newspapers, are calcu-
lated TO destroy respect for what
most men want considered sacred,
and bring disrepute upon well-in-
tentioned but misguided people.

Sioux Valley News.
Ex-senator Pettigrew is reported a

in this state to prevent his re election.

why there was such an overwhelming
vote in this state for his retirement. fho
story that Mr.. Pettigrew is circulating
that his defeat was purchased by any

able to command serious attention, ana
while it may please him to think he naa
