LET GOOD HUMOR PREVAIL.

The campaign which is to decide
who shall be DawsOn's next mayor has
opened with three candidates in the
field.
The News has always been, is now
and will always be profoundly inter-
ested in the welfare and upbuilding OF
Dawson, and it desires to enter at this
early date plea for good humor in the
4campaign. There is no question
ing the fact of Dawson's success as a
town, and the secret of it has been the
harmony and unanimity with which
its citizens have labored, shoulder to
shoulder, for number of years past.
Now, let's keep it up There is
nothing which will 80 instantaneOusly
reverse the present prosperous and
happy condition of affairs and put
Dawson on the down grade as politi-
cal wrangle. Let's not have any po-
litical strife, any antagonisms. any
disrupted friendships. Life is too
short, time too inexpressibly precious
Any one of the three gentlemen WI o
have announced would make Dawson a
good mayor.
All three cannot be mayor. 1t is
left with the voters of the city to say
who shall succeed Mayor Lowrey as
it's chief executive, and they can be
depended on TO vote With intelligence
and discretion. AS for The News, it
will be satisfied with whoever the
voters shall select. 1t is the organ
an tool of no man and no set of men,
but having deep at heart never ceas-
ipg interest in all that concerns Daw-
son it desires above all things else per-
feet harmony.
Dawson can i'll afford at the present
time to allow interference with its plans
and ambitions by internal dissentions
and descriptions. Our city is just on
the eve of taking one of the most i'm
portant steps in its hisLory-the build
ing of cotton factory. The enterprise
will succeed by grace of the citizens
pulling determinedly tos ether; not
without it can it succeed.
Let's build our cotton factory and
keep up the march of progressive en-
terprise, and in the meantime let's
vote without passion or prejudice, qui-
city and intplliVt ntly.

COMING UNCLE SANS WAY.

Long the nations never cared
How our Uncle Sammy Jared;
Thought he wasn't in their class
And among them couldn't pass.
But a wondrous change has come
Since our uncle made things hum.
Honors shower on him now,
And the nations to him bow.
Just a little while ago
Heinrich came with face aglow,
Grasped our uncle by the hand,
Praised his people and his land.
Then the kaiser wrote and wired
Thanks to uncle, so admired,
And he's anxious to donate
Statue of old Fred the Great.
Next some Frenchmen known to fame
On friendly mission came,
And a statue they unveiled
While our Uncle Sam they hailed.
Other nations once so stern
Are but waiting for their turn;
So tits just the truth to say
Things are coming uncle's way.

A Good appointment.

The Sioux Falls Argus.Leader,
speaking of the appointment of
John Truran as deputy com mis-
sioner of school and public lands,
says:
Hon. G. j. Bach, the new commits
sioner of school and public lands came
over to Sioux Falls yesterday on an
important errand. He met here j. E.
Truran of Milbank and offered him the
position of deputy in his new Office,
which Mr.. Truran accepted. Mr..
Bach leaves today for Pierre to look
over the affairs of the Office and to
familiarize himself with the duties
which he will undertake after January
l. He will also arrange for resi-
dence. Mr.. Bach will not move his
family to Pierre before the spring,
but then will ensconce his family there
for the term of his office. To an
Argus-Leader reporter Mr.. Bach said:
81 have just offered j. E. Truran
the appointment of deputy and he has
accepted am glad to say. He is able
and popular in the north part of the
state and has strong qualifications for
any financial position. He has been
auditor of Grant county forfour years
past and before that was deputy coun-
ty treasurer for six years. He has
also for eight years been city auditor
of Milbank, believe it is unique
thing for one man to hold the position
of city auditor and county auditor at
the same time, but Mr.. Truran has
done so for four years to the fullest
satisfaction of the people of Grant
county.
81 am now on my way to Pierre to
study the details of the Office and to
prepare to undertake them when my
term begins in January. 1 have been
looking over the work as we'll as I
could and am deeply impressed with
the Importance of the Office and the
work it has to do. I hardly think the
people of the state realize how import
ant this question is for their welfare or
how large is the business done by it.

Wheat Stealing Case

A couple of weeks ago we men,
toned the fact that wheat thieves
had taken a load of wheat from
the granary of John Trapp,
about three and one half miles
east of this city in Alban town
ship. AS the matter was investl-
gated several incidents pointed
to Adolph Miller as being con-
nected with the matter, and a
warrant was issued for his
arrest. On being brought into
court and confronted with some
of the evidence against him he
made confession of the whole
matter, and on being arraigned
pleaded guilty. The case was
continued over until Thursday
morning. In the meantime the
father of the young man had
seen a lawyer, and when he
again appeared in court, by the
assistance of his lawyer, he
had discovered that he was not
guilty, and so had his plea chang.
ed accordingly. On hearing
of the case before Justice Pasco,
it appeared that the accused
had taken some 70 bushels of
wheat by a circnitous route to
Twin Brooks and sold it at Mr.
Camps elevator on the morning
after the wheat had been stolen
A very conclusive chain of cir
cumstances was shown TO con
meet Mr.. Miller with the stealing
+ of the wheat. His attorney at
: tempted to have him sent to tn
, reform school, claiming that tn
young man was under age. bu
the Justice concluded TO hold | ia
!. to the district court. AS ther
has been other cases wheat steal
) ing in the country, the farming

Telephone Trouble,

The local service Of the Dakota
Telephone exchange has been
badly out of joint for the past
two weeks, but a sprinkling of
former patrons are enjoying the
service since the central" has
been transferred to the new
building, and a general strike
or rather lockout of patrons
is in force. The trouble appears
to be with the company and the
patrons of the exchange who
own their own phones. When
the local exchange was first
started in Milbank few years
ago, the custom was to have the
new patron buy his own phone.
the company agreeing in con-
sideration of this to do switching
at 25c a month-fcr each phone
this amount was later raised to
SOC a month, without any par
ticular objection by the patrons,
who believed that the service
was worth the larger charge.
Their principal objection to the
raise was that. when the com
pany agreed to do the work for
the smaller SUN in order to get
them to put in a phone, they did
not like to have the price arbi-
trarily raised. But this was not
the end of the matter, as for
some time past the company has
been asking and insisting on the
patrons selling their phones, and
paying 50 monthly toll instead
of SOC. 1t is to compel the
owners of the phones to enter
into this new arrangement that
the service has been cut off fro m
nearly all of the business houses
in the city. We understand also
that raise from 81 to 81 so is
contemplated in the monthly |
charge for phones in private
houses. The patrons of the
telephone exchange are not so
seriously affected by this second
raise in charges, but they would
like to know where the thing is
going to end, for if the company
has the right to arbitrarily ad-
vance rates just whenever it
desires to do so, the exchange
instead of being a convenience,
will be an oppressive monopoly.
It is the determination of the
business men of the town, now
that the matter has been brought
to a focus, to quit the use of the
exchange until a definite under
standing can be had as to the
rights of both parties in the
controversy. The matter of
establishing an independent sys
tenn, to be controlled by local
people is being seriously dis
cussed.
