A STEP FORWARD.

With this issue The UNION be-
gins its sixteenth year. 1t has no
apologies to make for it's conduct
in the past, nor any part Of it. 1t
has always expressed its opinion
plainly and pointedly, and unlike
some other newspapers, it has new
er catered to the whims or wishes
of any man or set of men for the
sake of a little patronage; nor has
it ever, SO far as its present owner
knows, been induced by means of
financial aid or otherwise, to advo-
cate n solitary idea in which its
editor did not conscieutiously be:
lieve. THE UNION has stood 10y
ally by every movementfo for the ad-
vancement and l,etterment of Rap
id City, Pennington county and
the Black Hills. 1t is justly proud
of record in the past and pro-
poses to rigidly maintain the same
record IN the future, at least SO
long as the paper remains under
the guidance Of its present proprle-
tor.
In starting out on its sixteenth
year The UNION does so hopefully
and with confidence. Its business
has grown steadily with the pass
ing years and it is today in better
shape, from every standpoint, than
it has ever been before, and it pro
poses, like whisky, to grow better
with age. Next week the paper
will be enlarged--a move made
necessary BY an increasing demand
for advertising space. With the
increased size Of the paper viii
come several new features which
with its superior South Dakot;
state news report, will place TIL
UNION head and shoulders above
any weekly in Pennington count,
as complete home and family pa
per. So tor 1903 this paper will i,
everything that its patronage wi.
permit.
The ublisher desires to thanl
the business interests Of Rapie
City, as well as the public in gen
eral, for its liberal patronage, an
to them that they will ge
value received for every dollar ex

The county wants able manage

it retains him. One good term de-
serves another.

ON GETTING THINGS TWISTED.

PLANTATION as to how the item got
sstwisted," we will say that the
Recorder is welcome to all the sat
isfaction it gets out Of the error,
inasmuch as it is infallible and
never gets things "twisted!"
But let us see.
Not long ago the keystone Re-
Gordon intimated that money pan
les and industrial depression came
as result of democratic suprem-
acy, when, in fact, the nation has
never yet experienced a financial
stringency under the administra-
ton of democratic laws. The Re-
corder got things "slightly twist
ed, but what could you exPect?"
The Keystone Recorder insinu-
ated, during the late campaign,
that the Pennington County Bank
of this city was supporting Chas.
P. little for county treasurer be-
cause of a "rake-oH" it got through
the deposit OF county funds. The
fact is, the county funds are placed
by bids and the Recorder knew it.
Still, it got things "slighty twisted
but what could you expect?"
At the same time the Keystone
Recorder printed a lot Of noon
shine matter about who would be
Mr., Titles deputies, who would
be the democrats candidate twq
years hence, and made a childish
attempt to show that Mr.. Titl,
and his relatives were trying t.
monopolize the office of count,
