ROOSEVELT AND TEMPERANCE.

Theodore Roosevelt, the dis
patches say, took q glass. of cham,
payne at St. Louis. Those who think
it wrong to drink champagne criti.
else him severely for this act.
Why do not those who cling to a
vegetarian diet find fault with Mr..
Roosevelt for eating meat? Why do
not the modern foes of p. eyeglasses
make public objection to the execu-
tive spectacles? Why do not the
friend of the high collar tear in
shreds the rundown bank which
adorns the presidential neck? There
is also room for sticklers who reject
the felt hat.
In the matter of personal privi-
lege President Roosevelt deserves
reasonable consideration from his
fellow citizens. There is nothing in
public or his private life that gives
ground for the recent incorporate
attacks made on him by the advo-
Gates of temperance.

RAPID CITY
TO CELEBRATE
State Invited to Commemorate
Completion of Two New
Lines to Black Hills
Sept. 2 tO4

Rapid City, Aug. 3.-The Business
Mems club of Rapid City has begun
preparations for notable celebra-
ton to commemorate the completion
of the two new lines of railway to
the Black Hills, whose terminal is
Rapid City. The railroads will be in
operation for passenger traffic about
Aug. Is, and Sept. 2 to A, inclusive,
has been selected as the time for the
celebration. From all indications it
will be a notable event. Several
men of state and national reputatj n
will be on the program. One of the
prime objects of the celebration, as
stated by the club, is to be "a pro-
motion of a better understanding
and feeling of reciprocity and good
fellowship between the railroads and
the general public" The people of
the Black Hills are rather conServa-
tive of their views on the matter,
realizing as they do the immense
Importance of the railroads to the
development of the country, and at
the same time they are cautious as
to giving too much latitude. The
spirit of fairness which will prevail
at this netting is intended to en-
phasize this feature. The railroad
interests have been cordially invited
to have representatives present to
present their views, and at the same
time prominent men in the matter of
railroad regulation will also be on
hand. 1t is intended if possible, to
present program so unique and in
teresting as to challenge the atten-
tion of thousands Of people. The
president of the club has appointed
a general committee of arrange
ments, consisting of five Of the most
prominent men of the city. Pre-
parations are under way for a great
meeting.

BRIDGE WORK
AND MAIL TRAINS
Expect to Complete Bridge at
Pierre Next Month

Pierre Capital: The false work is
nearly completed for another span
of the bridge. In short time the
steel will be crossed to another pier.
In 80 days a decided showing will be
made and by the middle of Septem-
ber no doubt engines can cross the
river, although trains may not get
over until October.
This paper is in possession of in
formation to the effect that the su-
perintendent of mail service for the
Tenth division will go over the line
between here and Rapid City next
week. Arrangements will then be
made for a through mail service.
and with the red tape necessary it is
quite certain a postal car schedule
will not be in operation until Sep
tember lst. So far no time schedule
for running trains has been made by
the railroad, and until that is done
no mail schemes" can be issued by
the postal authorities.

Where Wealth is to be Found

A recent bulletin of the census bu-
reau gives a severe jar to certain
postulates industriously and dema-
gogically circulated to the effect that
ninety per cent of the wealth OF
America is concentrated in the hands
of few people. Everyone is fam
iliar with the pessimistic declaration
that more than one-half Of our ma
tional wealth is in the hands of less
than one hundred families. This
bulletin shows that the entire wealth
of the United States aggregates one
hundred and twenty-five billion dol
lars and that ninety-fve per cent of
it is in the hands of the people of
relatively small means. More than
half of it is the property of people
worth less than fifty thousand dol
lars. Sioux Valley News.
The recent official statement OF
Miller city banks shows that there is
half million on deposit there OF
which the bankers estimate rs per
cent belongs to farmers tributary tc

What Towns Can Do

Towns don't happen. Somebody
makes 'em usually a bunch of some
bodies who get together and decide
to push things.
For instance out at Pierre they
have just started a big brick plant
Here is what the Pierre journal
says about it:
This plant and the one to be
started in Fort Pierre are both direct
results of the organization of the
Pierre board of trade. A list OF
brick makers of the whole United
States was secured and correspond
ence started. The result is mani
fest.
The executive committee are al
hustlers. No better board coulC
be secured. They have a number OF
enterprises on the string.
And at Huron, the Huronte says
'The meeting at the Commercial
Club rooms Thursday evening wa
one of the best attended and most
interesting meetings the Club ha!
held thus far. The number of citi
zens present and the interest showr
in the business transacted indicated
that the commercial welfare of oul
city is being pushed in the right dir
ection.

NEAR HAROLD
Conductor Mesckam, of Huron,
Victim of Collision of Freight
and Gravel Trains

DR.. S. r. Wallis, of this city, re-
ceived telegram Wednesday sum-
moning him to Harold, where Con-
ductor Mescham had been caught be-
tween the freight and gravel trains
and severly injured. DR.. Wallis re-
ceived word just in time to catch
the west bound passenger at 11:30,
and was joined at Highmore by DR..
Burnside, but they did not reach
Harold in time to render any assis-
tance to the unfortunate man. AS
much as is known of the accident is
that Mescham, conductor on the grav-
el train working near Harold, was
on the track at the rear end of his
train and was run into by a freight
switching on the same track. He
was thrown on the track and his leg
broken near the hip joint, also IN.

mediately put on his train to be TAX

died by the time they reached Can.
ming. The accident occurred about
eleven o'clock in the morning. A
special was sent out from Huron
carrying his wife, and the remains
were taken into Pierre for embalm,
ing.
Mr. Mescham was native of Iowa,
but had resided in Huron for several
years. He leaves wife and one
child to mourn his unfortunate
death.

Newspaper independence

Some of the papers of the state
seem to be greatly worried over the
distribution af insurance statements,
as made by Commissioner Basford.
The News received one statement,
while some received several times as
many, which we consider none of our
business. We accept the one state
ment in the spirit in which it was
given, whatever that might be. We
don't care if the Squeedunk Squee.
bunker got twenty or hundred.
The News supported Gov. Elrod
twice, and is not ashamed of it. We
opposed Crawford before the con
veniton and supported him Loyalty
afterward. We did as we pleased
and expect to in the future, and we
don't give tinker's damn whether
anyone likes it or dislikes it. anG

ment, twenty, or none. Bryant
