What is a Newspaper?

Our answer to the above question
is: A paper that publishes the news.
When you subscribe for a news
paper you do so for the purpose of
obtaining information, and a paper
that is afraid to publish the news
Of a city or community is not worthy
OF support.
We wish to make a few statements
about The Union, not only to COR
rect ome wrong impressions that are
in circulation in regard to the paper,
but also to show the reading public
just where we stand as editor of this
publication. /.
The Black Hills Union is owned
and controlled by the Black Hills
Publishing company and we are
hired by that company to edit and
publish the paper, which we are do
ing to the best Of our ability.
1t is our intention and purpose to
publish a newspaper in every sense
of the word-that is to publish all
the news we can without fear or
favor. We shall call a spade a spade
and a knave a knave. We shall stand
for justice and right irregardless of
whatever influence may be exerted to
suppress it. Graft-rs and schemers
will receive no quarter from us and
we will use our best effort to. expose
the
Now we think we have stated our
position concisely and in the future
you will know what to expect. II
you don't want to be called a CRATER
and have your schemes exposed, don't
engage in that particular line OF
business. If you are a public officer
do your duty and there will be nc
for censure from us. And, II
you don't want your fair name con
nected with a street fight, don't fight
We are here to publish the news, ant
will whenever we discover any. That
is the mission of a newspaper, ant
we shall endeavor to make The
Union a newspaper worthy of YOU

When Secretary Root is at the
department it is next to impossible
to see him. He is closeted with his
secretary and st~enographcr, or else
working by himself, but in either
event he is as inaccessible as the
czar. On diplomatic day he has TIC
let himself he seen, but on other oc-
'casion is so much a waste OF
time to try to get at him that most
men who know the ropes do not make
an attempt if it is at all possible tc
get their ends by seeing Bacon.

The Land Graftcrs are Scared,

Nearly every day this week we
have been asked, what has become
of Land CRATER Weeks and his con-
federates. The fact is, we do not
know where they are at present, but
you can safely bet that we will keep
our weather eye on their business at
the government land office in this
city.
In our last issue we slightly
toasted the outfit and exposed
their rotten deal to the public. Weeks
is not a very large man either physi-
cally or mentally and the shock Of
enlightenment was almost too much
for him. He hastily sent for Attor-
ney Harry Kunkle, of Yankton, who
is n of his confederates in his
schemes, and it is presumed that
they thought they would make it
hot for us. But not SO, for when
Kunkle got here and looked the field
over and found out the sentiment Of
the people, he concluded that in
Weeks case discretion was the better
part of valor, and the best thing for
the outfit to do was to say their
own necks if possible.
We have investigated the land
Office records and find that the graft
ers have filed nearly one hundred
contests, but since we exposed them
in our last issue they have evidently
gotten scared and have quit their vi
cious work. In fact they filed an
arm load of cancellations Saturday
and are daily filing more.
Weeks and his attorney called al
this Office Saturday and very meekly
stated their case and implored us TO,
leniency, but they received no salts
faction from lis. We told them very
plainly just what we thought of then
and their graft and told them fur
ther that we thought that Weeks wa
eligible to wear stripes and we would
be pleased to see him thus clothed
and working behind prison bars 70.
the benefit Of the people he was at
tempting to wrong.
The outfit have lost their nerv'
and are trying to patch up the deal il
any old way to keep themselves on

ter what they do now, they arc gull
ty just the same and should b
brought to time. 1t is against pub
lie policy and safety to allow sue
men as Weeks t o u at large. An,
man who will swear to such affidavit
as Weeks did, should be tangh
such a lesson that in the future y
will have at least some regard TO
truth and veracity. In our mind h
Is guilty of perjury and should b
made to answer for the crime.
The grafters have cancelled
large number Of their contest case!
but q large number still remain Q
the docket. Now what these farmer
want to do is to meet and take K
gal action against the outfit and pr
