WRECk or TIE WEEFO0T. The old
American barkentine Webfoot met
with a fearful experience off the
mouth of the Columbia, this week,
and wac, Wednesday night, towed to
Astoria by the tug Wallula. While
she was lying in the trough of the
sea, the morning Of that day,
three steam schooners bound north,
and three south, passed by without Of
fering assistance. For five days the
crew had been huddled in the rigging,
with no shelter from the gale, their
only food raw potatoes and their only
drink such water as could be caught
by rain falling in their oilskin hats.
Capt. Lewis says they could not have
possibly lived two days longer. The
Wobioot sailed from Coos Bay for San
Francisco, Oct 30, laden with $4,000
feet OF lumber. She encountered the
first of the heavy gales and became
waterlogged. Everything loose was
carried away, including clothing and
provisions. On the night OF the 21st
all three masts went by the board.
Three men left the wreck in a small
boat to seek assistance. They were
doubtless drowned in the furious gale.
Relief came from the steamer Elder,
en- route for San Francisco. She gave
the men provisions and returned to
the river, when she sent the tug to
their relief. The vessel is a total loss,
but 100000 feet OF lumber will be
saved. She was built in 1869 at Coos
Bay and is owned by the Simpson
Lumber Co.

reason have placed in nomination

enforcing prohibitory laws until
they are furnished with sworn COM

spy and informer, in order to far

PROVISION FOR THE FUTURE.
A Duty You Owe Your Family, to be
Fulfilled by Attending Meetings.

The PRESS has not had the op-
portunity heretofore to say much
on the subject of fraternal life jim
surance; and it has thought more
of the subject since the writer at
tended the late district convention
Of the Modern Brotherhood of
America, at Madison, SD, where
he had the pleasure of listening to
an address on the subject by DR..
Clcugh. in his address of welcome,
and getting some fresh ideas on
the subject. The leading thought
advanced by him was that the fra
ternal Insurance. idea was not half
developed as yet; that it was not
merely a matter of handling dol
lars and cents for the beneficiaries
whom we leave behind us when
we lay down the activities of this
life, but that continued thought on
the subject would inspire the giy-
ers to conceive and bestow other
and greater benefits as we'll.
The publisher of The Press, be-
ing clerk and secretary of the

spectively Of this place, would like

IS He A CORPORATION MAN :

Under the above title the Get
tysburg Herald of last week ex-
presses its idea of the most i'm
portsnt political issue in the fol-
lowing language:
"The real politics that is pre-
sented this year in Potter county
or more properly in South Dakota
is included in the selection of
governor and members of the
legislature, because of the relation
of those positions to future legis-
lation in the state. Shall the state
government be practically turned
over to and run in the interest of
the railroads; the Standard oil
company, insurance companies,
and other aggregations of that
sort, which seek to thwart every
legal restraint put upon them by
unending litigation and efforts at
repeal. No matter what the pro-
spect may be of control in our
legislative body, the thoughtful
self f-proteeting voter should size
up his candidate as to how he will
vote on questions of corporation
control"
And then it quotes as follows
from the Sioux Falls Daily Press:
"The real issue today over the
broad expanse of the United States
lies between the people and the
corporations-whethe the one or
the other shall control the govern
ment of the nation and the govern
ments OF the several states.
SSThere ire promising indica-
tions that after this national con
test is over there will come a read
justment of forces along the lines
of the corporation issue. The
country is rapidly approa ching a
settlement of the question whether
the people shall govern the rail
roads or the railroads shall govern
the people,
The PRESS cannot see the cor
poration question in the above
light. The people thru thei1
legislatures have created these
corporations, and also enacted laws
governing them. Consequently
we think they should be treated
from the same standpoint as that
ofan individual. If a corporation
is legitimate to commence with II

men composing it have as good q
right to run for office as others.
The legislator who proposes a
really bad law, or is responsible
for really vicious corporation, i.
sure to be left at home the next
time he runs. This being SO. the
remedy for the wrongs or lawlcss
ness which corporations commit
does not lie in the legislature hall

1.-The fraternal system makes it
possible for the laboring man;
without any great sacrifice of pres
ent requirements, to leave his FAM
lily one or two thousand dollars
when he is called away. Without
some agency of this kind few of
the total number, which is large,
who earn their living by daily la:
Dor, could do this. This sum will
pay off the mortgage, will keep
the children in school and away
fcom the avenues that lead to vice
and crime, will prevent that en-
forced separation of the family-a
frequent occurrence where no life
insurance is left, and where the
efforts OF all are necessary in the
struggle for existence.

AND PROSPERITY

The Press is not advocating the
cause of the Prohibition party with
with any such idea. chiefly because
it believes that the party has a
much greater mission to accom-
plish, which can be summed up in
the words. ''to enforce the laws"
We are not posted on corpora
ton or other laws, but we notice
that our Populist and Democratic
friends are not clamoring for the
repeal of any of the laws under
which our corporations are being
chartered. Do they know that
such corporations are created
every working day in the year in
this country! What figure would
the rise or fall of few cents in
the price of kerosene cut if every
working man was receiving good
wagesy And wouldn't everybody
else he prospering too, if every
workihgman was receiving good
wagess
S.
We can't see that the question
of the political control of any or
all the corporations has anything
to do with the only issue worthy
the intelligence of a wage Garner
who does not take into considera-
ton the moral issues. With him
it is question of wages. How
shall he increase his wagess The
labor unions have taught him to
do it by means of strikes and boy
colts. The Republican party tells
him to do it by protective tariff.
The Democrats have been telling
them to do it by putting them in
Office.
For such a workingmah the
remedy The PkEss offers is an in
crease in the volume of the cur
rehcy; and no other remedy needs
to be offered for the betterment of
the condition of the farmer and
professional man. Because if
work is plenty and all wageearn-
ers are getting good wages, it will
follow as q natural cOnsuuence that,
everybody will be prosperous.
But it cannot be said that
our workingmen are univer-
sally opposed to the idea
o f taking moral questions
into politics. 1t is the pro-
fessional politicians-the men who
are in politics for the money that
they can make out of it-like tex
Boss Tweed" once of New York
who are responsible for the ex-
clusion of moral questions from
the thoughts OF the voter.
So, from the standpoint of the
trust, the independent voter should
vote for an incorruptible judicia-
ry-state's attorneys and Judges.
Can they do that and still support
the old parties.
IS
The task that our Legislators
should turn their attention to,
instead of putting corporations in
the pillory, is to improve the po-
liticnl code governing our courts
and judiciary. There is where the
most Of the trouble lies. The lat
ter are in the habit of being too
lenient with violators of the law;
and the district attorneys and sher.
iffs-who necessarily compose the
largest part of such conrts-are
really the guilty ones. who make
it ensy FOR criminals to do wrong,
