The commissioners claim they can do no more than they have
done.
This claim is ably dis puted by "a Wayfarer" in another
column of this paper. This gentleman takes the stand the
bridge and road funds could be consolidated, and that instead
of hiring supervisors, the commissioners should call tor bids
to keep the roads in repair. He says this would be contrary to
the letter of the law, but says our present form of county gov
eminent is also contrary to law and yet the commissioners do
not object to that.
These suggestions are good. Theg are along the only line
that appears to be feasible. The present system of appointing
supervisors and of collecting road taxes in work instead of in
money is not a success. The presentlaws were formed for the
purpose of keeping the roads in good condition. They fail of
their object in this section. We want good roads. If we must
violate some technically in order to get them LET US VIOLATE
IT BY ALL, MEANS. The end justifes the means,
We had similar conditions here in Rapid. When Mayor EN-
rick came into office, he found the streets in bad condition and
the sidewalks worse. He was told there were no funds to re-
pair things with, He set about it as a man should who has the
interests of the community at heart and he found a way. 1t
is not exactly according to the letter of the law, but it brings
money for repairing the streets and we are now told Mayor
Emr1ck has done more good for the town than any other mayor
we have ever had.
Our commissioners can do something if they bnt will. It has
been suggested a road convention be held in town for the pur-
pose OF discussing the matter and making some demand upon
the commissioners to move in the matter. This we do not be
lieve would be as practical as a petition, for the reason it is
much ealser for man to sign a petition than to leave his bust
ness and attend a meeting.
The Union will do this. We will. frame a petition demanding
that our commissioners consolidate the bridge and road finds;
that they call for bids to keep certain roads in good condition
and that they collect all road taxes in cash and pay for all road
work in cash. We will have this petition drawn up at once and
we will visit our citizens in town and secure the signera here,
In order to gain time we suggest that smilsr petitions be Cir
cnlated IN the smaller places in the county. For this work we
would suggest the following named persons whom we believe
will see that the thing is done right.
JohnZ. Reed, tor Spring creek.
Otto Anderson, for Rockerville.
The Editor of the Recorder, for keystone.
Chas. Cation, for Hill City.
Ed. Barthold, for Sheridan.
Chas. Sherman, for Pactola.
ltany at these gentlemen are unable to attend tothe matter
let us hear from them at once, and if so let them suggest some
one who will do 80.
1Here then is a plan of action. It may not be technically legal
but we believe it will build roads and that is what we want.
We will send these petitions out a week from next Monday.

LIND FRAUDS.

Astatemento of the conduct of the investigation into public land
frauds in the Pacific coast states has been prepared at the in
terror department and given out, with Secretary Hitchcock's
approval. The statement says in part:
THE investigation has proceeded step by step, without in
PERMISSION, under the secretarys personal direction and every
clew to wrong-doing has been quietly followed to its source
with the result that it is the confident belief of those in charge
ofthe inquiry that the guilty parties will be apprehended and
speedily brought to justice.
While several hundred thousand acres of public lands are
involved in the illegal transactions brought to light the numbers
of acres to which patents bave been obtained by the prepetra-
tors of the frauds is comparatively small. Some of the state
nents in regard to the matter which have apparel recently,
both in the east and in the west, are more or less exaggerated,
and others or mere surmses. The statements widely circulat-
ed to the effect that five United States senators and a large
number of representatives were i'm IMPLICATED, and that the lands
involved would reach i'll value SIS, 100000 or $40, 600, 600, are
without fact. It can be POSITIVELY stated that they did not
originate in the interior department.
Al the proper time a full statement will be made covering
the results of the entire Investigations

RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1908


The season is at hand when according to the
custom of our people it falls upon the president to
appoint a day of praise and thanksgiving to God.
During the last year the Lord has dealt bounti-
fully with us, giving rs peace at home and abroad
and Che chance for onr citizens to work for their
welfare undindered by war, famin or plague. 1t
behoTe' H. not only to rejoice greatly because OF
whnt 5 been given us, but to accept it with a
solon1t1 sense OF responsibility, realizing that under
Heaven it rests with us ourselves to show that we
are worthy to use Alright what has thus been en-
trusted to our care. In no other place and at no
other time has the experiment of government of
the people, by the people, for the people, been
tried on so vast a scale as here in our own country
in the opening years of the twentieth century.
Failure would not only be a dreadful thing for all
mankind, because it would mean loss of hope for
all who believe in the power and righteousness of
liberty, Therefore, in thanking God for the mer-
cies extended to us in the past, we beseech Him
that He may not withhold them in the future, and
that our hearts may be reused to war steadfastly
for good and against all the forces of evil, public
and private. We pray for strength, and light, so
that in the coming years we may with cleanliness,
fearlessness, and wisdom, do our allotted work on
the earth in such manner 40 to show that We are
not altogether unworthy of the blessings we have
received.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the United States, po hereby designate as
a day OF general thanksgiving, Thursday, the
twenty-sixth of the coming November, and do rec
ommend that throughout the land people cease
homes and places of worship render thanks unto
Almighty God for his manifold mercies,
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be affix-
ed. BY the President.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
[Signed,] JOHN HAY, Secretary Of State.

coUN6Y ROADS

A short time ago the Union promised its friends to interview
our business men und find out what they thought could be done
for orr county roads. Wecould not get around to it as soon as
we promised or as soon as we expected to owing to a rush Of
business matters that kept US very close in the office. We have
interviewed nearly every merchant in town now however.
They are all awake to the necessity Of repairing the roads and
almost without exception the county commissions are criticised
for not attending to the matter. They feelit is the county's
duty to keep it's roads in shape and the general opinion prevails
that some influence should be brought to bear on the connmis-
toner's that would compel them to wake up and do something.
