4ti1 OF July.
erved to d

The 4th OF July passed off very
quietly here, but most of our
citizenswer celebrating at some
the neighboring towns. About
fifty went to Huron with the
band. The remainder went to
Highmore and ST. Lawrence.
Several picnics were held through
out the country at the various
groves and gulches. Those who
went to Huron report a fine
celebration and one OF the best
attractions was the Miller band.
All who went agree that our
boys were ahead OF anything
there that day. An immense
crowd was present. The eparade,
ballon ascension, races and ball
game were all good and it was
probably the best celebration
Huron ever had. The crowd
would have been much larger ii
the race meet had not been called
off.
The st. Lawrence celebration
was badly interferred with by
constant showers OF rain through
out the day, but on the whole it
was a success. The speeches by
Senator f. L. Saltmarsh, ]. NJ.
King and b. +. Ives, of Huron,
were postponed until afternoon.
On account Of the rain the races
were called off The attraction
of the day however was the ball
game between Burdette and
Miller. Through the efforts OF
George Pike and 4. S. Clouse, a
team was picked up that after
noon from Millerites present ana
they won the game by the re-
markable score OF 10 to 3.
About the only features OF game
were the number ofhard slug@ers
that developed in the Miller
aggregation and the number OF
goose eggs the visitors received.

New Race TRACK.

There is much talk at, present
of building a new race track.
The plan is backed by those OF
our citizens who own good driy-
ing horses, and all Others who
are interested in securing good
horses in the town. And the
plan is II worthy one too. There
are a number of excellent horses
here at present, aud there should
be several dozen more.
j. II. Schade has voluntarily
AMI without charge offered the
use Of q portion of his land for a
track. No expense except scrap
ing need be incurred and the To-
cation is good. 1t was a great
mistake to let the old track 90
and we hope this opportunity to
partially undo that former
blunder will not be passed by.
A meeting OF the old Driving
Park Association was held yes
terday in furtherance OF some
such plan as the above. 1t was
decided to make an attempted
resurrection of the old park lust
east OF town. The old shares OF
stock will be assessed in full and
some new ones issued. Ii this
attempt is successful the track
will be re-graded. sheds bu,l5and
Lhe whole fenced IN, SO that ad-
mission can be charged. One or
two racing meets will be held
this summer and u county fair
this fall.

That the human race is one
vast family IS evidenced once
more by the universal sorrow
expressed at the pope's sickness.
The world is composed OF
many different races and each
race is separated by its creeds,
dogmas and parties but let some
great calamity fall upon any
portion OF the people and all
differences are forgotten. The
sickness and death of some man
who embodies the good that is
loved by all the world, or some
Martinique. disaster or niue ex-
plosion! bring to life that COM
mon spark of fsympathy and love
which exists in every human
breast. And after all, it is that
which makes life in this old
world worth the living, for
it is the basis of every
successful government, every
true religion, and every happy
home. People and nations will
fight, rob and kill as long as the
people are human but under
meath it all is hidden the desire
for the love and sympathy of
our fellow men.

SEWERAGE SYSTEM,
Taxpayers at Mass Meet
ing Decide In Favor
of 1T.
Council to Proceed
Immediately.

At a mass meeting held in the
opera house yesterday afternoon
the citizens OF Miller at last took
definite steps towards the much
talked OF sewer, About forty Of
the taxpayers assembled at the
meeting, and after a rather
stormy session. caused princi-
pally 10y the two or three who
opposed the plan, a vote was
taken and the councilauthorized
to proceed with the work. Only
four dissenting votes were re-
corded. 1t was distinctly a vic
tory in favor of town improve
ments. Mayor Campbell came
well loaded with plans and fig
ures with which he answered eve-
ry argument OF the opposition,
The plans offered 10y the council
consist-of one main twelve or ff-
teen inch sewer from the artesiap
welldQwn the alley west Of Main
street. And north TO the creek.
Catch basins will be placed on
every corner OF Main street and
a drain tile to catch the waste
water from the old wells, laid.
The estimated cost OF this be-
ginning will he something less
than $4,000. AS the town is
able, extensions will be made on
the east side of town and private
sewers may be run into the main
one. The first great and i'm
portant step towards improving
the town is thus started. The
Others sHch as graveling the
streets, putting in cement walks
and street light will come easily.
Mayor Campbell, and Aldermen
McCullen and Lane cannot be
compIimented too highly upon
the successful issue of ftheir plans.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1903-07-09

cautions them about the use OF
their power. And he is right.
That the unions are OF great be-
nefit to the laboring men is undis-
puted, but the moment they be-
come unreasonable and ensolent
in their demands the people will
forsake them. When this occurs,
the end of unionism is at
hand. AS yet the great mass of
people have been in sympathy
with unions, but it is only be-
cause the demands made by them
have seemed reasonable. The
unions whole efforts have
thus far been directed toward
shorter hours and higher wages,
but even in this there is a limit
and when that limit is passed
the unions have become a men
ace instead of a benefit. II their
efforts were toward shaping
legislation for their benefit with
out regard to any party, they
would then be welding their
immense power toward some
thing permanent and the danger
which seems to be lurking about
them would soon disappear.
The strike of the hotelempioyees
in Chicago is a notable example
Of a union becoming unreasonable
and insolent. When they refused
to arbitrate with their employers
they tacitly admitted they were
in the wrong and the majority
of people have turned their
sympathy toward the employers.
The strike is unreasonable and
unjust. 1t has failed miserably
in its purpose since many of the
help have returned to work and
new ones are being i'm ported.
The great majority of people are
glad that it has failed as it des-
erved to do.

South Dakota Morals.

Chicago Tribune:-The pending
trial of Garrett Droppers ,presid-
ent of the South Dakota State
university, by the board Of re,
gents of that institution is not
without its humorous side.
President Droppers is accused OF
immortality" He is looked on
by the regents as "a dreadful
example" " whose habits menace
the morals of the young gentle
men of South Dakota in attend
ance upon the university.
What are the ofienses charged
up against President Droppers ?
First, he gave a dinner toa Unit
ed States senator and there was
a glass of claret at each plate.
Second, upon another occasion
he used two bottles ofbeerin his
home at a chatting dish party
in the preparation of a Welsh
rabbit. Exactly what the moral
substitute for ale or beer in this
compound should be is not stat
ed, but a rabbit thus made is
looked upon by the regents as
immoral. Third upon another
occasion, instead of making a
prayer at chapel, he read chapter
from Emerson. Finally. and
worst of all, he leans towards
Unitarianism, probably because
all Unitarians use claret, drench
Welsh rabbit with been, and read
Emerson. President Droppers
may be guilty of other vices.
Probably he is, for there is no
telling to what lengths a man
may SO who will practice the
four immoralities of claret on
ceremonial occasions, Welsh
favored and moistened
with beer, Emerson's essays and
Unitarianism. But by what
authority does South Dakota,
the great resort for free and easy
divorce, presume to arraign any
one for immortality? Is she not
straining at gnats and swallow
ing camels? !?

The new state codes are out,
orthe first volume is out. Many
complaints are being made OF
the prices charged for it. The
law of 1901, authorizing a re-
vision, called for 1900 copies for
the state and then limited the
price of them to 5 dollars. The
price they are now held at is
from IL to 10 dollars and it is a
a robbery, pure and simple.

The shameful exhibition of
mob rule in Evansville, Ind, is
an example of how far that
wanton disregard of the law
may be carried. Because a ne
gro shot policeman the whole
city is in arms and for days the
White and black population have
marched through the streets fir
ing upon each other whenever
they met. There are cases, as
where a negro hend assaults
White women, that mob rule is
IN a measure justified, but in a
hight between man and man no
such justification exists.
