Forest City press. (Forest City, Potter County, D.T. [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1907-01-17

The Potter County News of last
week makes the following state
ment IN reference To the oroaniza-
ton of the new board of county
commissioners. and their choice OF
official papers:
The county commissioners met
and organized the new Board last
Tuesday by clecting the holdovcr
member. Stephen Simon. chairman
for the ensuing year. This is the
first time in a dozen years that the
Republicans have controlled the
Board. Their first official act was
to re>cind the action of the former
Board in appointing official papers
for the county for the ensuing
year, and then they selected the
Lebanon Leader. the News and
the Forest City Press rs the official
papers. Two republican and one
prohibition with populistic lean
lngs.
We do not know where the
News cver cot the authority for
saying that The Press had ''popu-
llStic leanings.' and we take the
occasion to say that the News is
very much mistaken. We will not
defend ourselves by saying that
the News knows better, but
The political policy of the News
has generally been all condensed i'm
the picture of odd glory which
il publishes week after wcek-in
campaigns and out of campaigns.
That is the same thing as saving
that its political ideas and theories
are Just whatever the Republican
party platform happens to be.
The politics of The Press Is diff
f%erent. We do not believe IN Il
kind of politics which will forever
keep our lawmakers forever tink-
ering and threshing over the same
straw every time they meet and
enacting laws which only result in
necessitatlng more courts, jails
and almshouses.
Those three questions arc H.
cense or no license. high or low
tariff and railroad rates.
Now we challenge the News or
anyone else to produce a statement
ever made by the present publish
err of The Press. which a reputable
populist will say or insist is popu-
listic. populist platforms being the
standard TO judge us by.

STREET CAR ACCIDENTS
LESSENED BY PUBLICITY

New York, Dec. 20.--Publicity is hav-
ing decided effect ia reducing tho
number of street railway accidents In
this city, according to the report made
public yesterday by the public service
commission. The report OF accidents
for November. which was given out to-
gether with comparison for the other
four months during which the commits
sion has kept a record, shows tha' there
has been a steadily dwindling number
OF accidents since the commission be-
gan TO keep tabs.
The total for November is 4O37. This
Is a reduction from $500 for August,
o202 for September and 1866 for Octo-
ber. During November 45 persons were
killed. The number in August was AZ,
In September 63 and in October AZ.
The report shows a tremendous re-
duction in the number OF persons in
jured in alighting from cars. In August
this was 1858, in September 931 and I'm
November only 465. The number OF
employees injured also shows a great
reduction, there having been Sal in
jured in August and only $50 in Novem-
bcr.
