A Word to Our Friends

The REGISTER PUBLISHING COMPANY
has been organized under the state laws
of South Dakota and its stockholders
are composed of some of the most
enterprising business men and citizens
of Bookings. The company this
week purchased the BrOOkings Indi-
vidual outfit and subscription list and
as soon as practicable will convert
that paper into a farm publication I'M
der the name and title OF FARM, STOCK
AND DAIRY. 1t is the purpose OF the
publishers to establish a farm publ
cation equal to the best in the north
west. In order to do this it will re-
quire the hearty support OF every
farmer in South Dakota and espe-
cialy the farmers and business men
OF this city and the surroundingcoun-
try. We trust every subscriber of the
REGISTER and INDIVIDUAL will be
sufficiently interested in the upbuild-
ing Of this local industry to at least
subscribe for the farm paper. We in
tend to offer special inducements to
new subscribers for both the REGISTER
and FARM, STOCK AND DAIRY. We
expect to begin publishing the farm
paper in about fOur weeks OF as sOOn
as the story and contract advertising
now running in the Individual has
been completed. If you wish to have
the FARM, STOCK AND DAIRY sent to
your address drop the Register Pub
fishing Co. a postal to that effect and
when the paper is started we will place
your name on our list of subscribers
Several have already either paid for
or have requested US to send the farm
paper to them and we would be pleased
to number every farmer in this county
among the first to receive FARM, STOCK
AND DAIRY, which we offer to advance
subscribers at SOC per year. Send in
name and money at once, or better
still call and see our clubbing offer.

Last Friday night the Board of Ed

Last Friday night the Board of Edu-
cation held its annual meeting at which
time it has been usual for the board to
elect a city superintendent and the
other teachers in our public schools.
This paper understands that the ques-
ton of superintendent coming up and
being put to a vote, the board was
equally divided on the retention of
Supt. 7. A. Walters. The ninth men,
Der of the board, Mr.. House, having
moved to Blunt made it impossible to
break the deadlock and the board
agreed upon an adjournment until the
next evening. At the meeting Satur-
day night a test vote revealed the fact
that each member was still standing
pat" whereupon the opposition to
Supt. Walters made a proposition to
the effect that il his friends on the
board would withdraw his name they
could have the privilege OF naming
any qualified man for the position.
That part Of the board friendly to Mr..
Walters then Withdrew for a conference
ard, we are told, made this PROPOSE
ton to the opposition viz; that il they
would agree to postpone the election
OF superintendent and all members OF
the teaching force for thirty days the

The machine press has been rub
bling it into Attorney General Hall
pretty severely because he admitted at
Sioux Falls that he was riding on a
pass. The cuckoo papers have all
taken a punch at the pass proposition
but have not been any more fair in
other topics OF interest. They fail to
voted to have a special bill pass the
lower house of congress which, had it
not been defeated would have been an
absolute steal and would have allowed
every congressman twenty cents a mile
both ways for a trip not made by one
of the congressman. They fail to say
that every legislator is always fur
nished a pass and still collects his
mileage for the distance he travels.
They fail to state that every state
official and every sheriff as we'll as all
other police officers employed by the
state travel on passes and if they do
any business for the state where mile
age can be collected they seldom fail
to put in their bill. They fail to COM
prehend that the pass question is one
that the anti-machine element of the
Republican party wishes to have thor
oughly discussed, as the people of the
state are becoming familiar with the
subject and are beginning to realize
how it enters into machine politics,
and what a factor it is in the hands of
practical politicians. Unwittingly the
postoffice editors are moulding public
sentiment SO that the next legislature
will be compelled to pass an anti-pass
law, which If done will clip the wings
OF many corruptionists.

If you take pains to investigate you
will discover that almost without ex-
ception the newspapers now support
ing the machine either have a post
office attachment or the publisher has
the promise Of an opportunity, or a
pledge from the machine to be elected
to a state Office. Then, too, there is a
nice little fund in every county which
has been or will be used to pay the
machine papers for their support. OF
course this applies to newspapers out

The machine papers have had
much to say about passes, but we
have yet to see a word in them advo-
eating the passage OF an anti-pass law
prohibiting and making it a felony to
either give or accept passes. So long as
passes are given to every public official
they will be used and this paper is in
favor of abolishing the practice.
