BRIEF NorATIoNs

The New Era was the only news.
paper represented in parade.
There were no arrests. no
drunks. no fights all day.
The grain exh ibit was as fne
as anything could be, and showed
our visitors that Charles Mix
raises as fine crops as are grown
any where.
The decoration committee may
well be proud of their work In
decorating the streets for the
day.
Accidents were IS scarce IS
hens teeth,
There were plenty Of stands
on the streets, where eatables
could be procured. and no ONE
went hungry.
The weather could not have

The duet by Miss Minnie
Grimes and Ralph Swenson
took the cake"
The vaudeville company and
other coutortlonist were very
good, clean performers.
A more good.natured crowd
never celebrated holiday any
where.
Boyden's martial band isabout
as good as you get 'em In that
class of music.
The work done by nur glee
club was good, and the music
committee hereby extend their
hearty thanks to those who par
ticipated for the hard work
which was necessary to make .
success Of the singing.
II is not often that two more
evenly matched ball teams get
together, and the Geddes and
Wagner people may feel proud
Of their ball players. They are
all gentlemen, too.
There is no doubt that this
last was the very best enter.
tainment that Wagner has ever
put up.
Many are the compliments
which we have received on the
entire snccrss OF the celebration.
The only thing approaching
an accident, was at the ball
grounds during the game, when
y section OF The grand stand
gave way, and quite q bunch Of
people got tumble. Luckily
no one was hurt.

THE LARGEST EVER
Explains the Labor Day Celebration
In Wagner. Nothing to Mar
the Beauty Of the Day
Everyone pleased

Everyone Pieased
That Wagner has once more
stood up to the reputation she
has won in the past as 9 right
royal entertainer goes without
saying. We hardly know bow to
go at it to write about all the
good things that took place here
Monday. but just wait until we
put q sharp point on our pencil
and we will try to give the main
attractions.
What came first? Well, there
were SO many things first that
perhaps we'd better start with
the Saturday evening passenger
and work up. Thattrain brought
in all the attractions that were
hired for the day. with the ex
|ception Of the little man, Major
Gantz, who somehow failed to
make connections. Monday
morning when the passenger
stopped at Wagner we discov-
erred it loaded TO tie guards with
. merry crowd from Platte. Ged-
des. Lake Andes. and country
surrounding. Wheeler also sent
|a big delegation. Before this,
however, the crowd had begun
TO arrive. They came in car
Iriages; they came in lumber
wagons; they came horseback;
they came in autos; any old way
to get here and help celebrate.
By ten o'clock the streets were
packed and the crowd had over
flowed into the side streets;
teams were everywhere. Bands
playing, little folks shouting aud
romping. big folks laughing and
talking. people shouting their
vsres. every bssly in iinA,feltle
and the celebration was on; fully
three thousand peopletaaking i:
all la.
The parade came off at ten
O'Clock as per schedule, and il
was . good one. All the floats
by the business houses were
ine-extraordinarily tine-co
not have been finer. The god.
dess ofliberty appeared near the
head of the procession, being
represented by Miss Marie MUIR
ray, and she made q most beau.
tiful goddess, one whom many
of the young bachelors would
like to see presiding at the head
Of their table. The "Horn OF
Plenty" was splendid affair,
almost too good 70 look At; not
only the display Of grains, but
also the young lady. Miss Ella
Brazzell, avery fitting represent
alive of this fair state of ours.
The display OF grains on this
fioat was exceptionally good, and
the credit for the beauty OF the
two last named floats must be
given Mrs. M. M. Brennan, who
labored indefatigably TO make
them beautiful aud artistic.
The lady Maccabees worked
hard To get up beautiful float,
and succeeded beyond even their
own expectations. OF course
The clown. and his mule were
there In all their pan0ply. but,
under the most terrible oaths or
secrecy. We must refrain from
giving their names. The rural
route carriers and the stage line
had their wagons in the parade.
ind they also made u good show
ug.
After the parade cama the ex-
srcises at the stand, prayer by
Rev. Kratz, address Of welcome

ROOSEVELT'S HOST RADICAL
 MOVE.

We commented in these col umns yesterday on the radical nature of that paragraph in the speech President Roosevelt de- livered last Saturday in which he declared himself in favor of the ultimate imposition by the Fed eral government of progressive tax on the devising of wealth, which would make it impossible for an estate of more than cer- tain value to be handed down from one person to another.

President Roosevelt's affirmation in favor of the progressive taxa t;on of inheritances because the enactment of such q measure would limit the aggrandHement of individuals, is just as inept as the classification of all Christians as Stoics because they believe ID the virtues of self-restraint and personal righteousness. And' when that invective is disposed of the proposal must stand for consideration upon it's own merits as grave attempt at the solution of great and ever growing problem.
 "The tendency of the money power to concentrate itself Tn the hands of a few families already notorious, aud the inclination ot those families to form alliances for the perpetuation of that pow CT. are facts of common knowl- edge. And the efforts that pow CT ma king to suborn legislatures and defeat every measure of reform must surely have im- pressed MT. Roosevelt during his present fight for railroad legisla- tion. How keen that impression is may never be known, but there is more than reasonable ground for the assumption that the declaration for an inheritance tax found its germ in that ex- perience.
 And there is no evading the thought that the President has not been led to the esDonsal Of this measure by any line of ab- stract reasoning, but, instead, has been driven to 1t by some intimate personal conviction of the grave menace to American liberties that turks in vast ac- cumulations of personal wealth. Theodore Roosevelt's bitterest enemy never once suggested that he was dreamer or a visionary, his stability on great occasions has lived down the earlier taunt of demagoguery, and neither in- vective nor ridicule can destroy the claim this latest announce ment has upon the consideration of serious people"
 Watterson Has a Say.
 Colonel Henry Watterson, in the Louisville Courier Journal, has hls say on the questions raised by President Roosevelt, as follows:
 "This IS bold deliverance, " "lt proposes to put the ax at the root of the tree. Nothing more radical has enamated from any of the apostles ot disconteut whom we sometimes dismiss as dreamers and sometimes as agitators, but in either case as far ahead of time.
 "As slavery was the menace of the Union In 1858, is money it's menace now. As slavery built up oligarchy in the South, is money building plutocracy in the East. Just as 1t was true that the government could not endure half free and half slave, it is true that if the government does not destroy the plutocracy the plu- tocracy will destroy the govern ment.n
 Aud we declare that Roosevelt and Wattersou are both right. This issue is made and must be fought to a conclusion.
