WASHINGTON, Dec. 6--CSpeciaD-
The experiment Of a Sunday evening
paper was started this afternoon in this
city, when, about 4 o'clock, the news
boys offered The Washington Evening
Times 20 the public. It Is the purpose
to issue the paper at ? o'clock. the de-
lay today being due to unforeseen
causes. In appearance the new Sunday
afternoon paper is Identical with the
daily edition. 1t contained today a fine
array OF reports OF sermons delivered
this morning and of sermons to be de-
livered tonight. The religious news was
a feature Of the new paper. All rumors
of possible. objection by the authorities
to issuing the paper, because Of the
local Sunday laws, proved unfOunded.
Whilst the Sunday laws Of Washington
are rigorous, they are enforced In a lib
eral spirit The presses Of The Times
are far removed from public sight and
sound In tOday's issue there are state
ments from Justices Anderson and
Barnard cordially indorsing Mr.. Nun
sey's new enterprise.

WASHINGTON HERALD, Editorial

OF Dec J.
Our hand to Mr. Frank a. MunseyI
He may, in the end, when the novelty
has worn off. find a barren field here for
a Sunday evening newspaper. but he
has al any rate. demonstrated that it
is possible to produce a good Sunday
evening newspaper rafting good one.
The first Sunday evening edition of the
Washington Times was all that. 1t is
true thai 1t did not sizzle or scintillate
with live, burning news, but Sunday IS
not exceptional in falling to develop
that particular kind Of news. morning
OF evening, and it may frankly be said
that the average OF newsinesS was in
this initial number well maintained. 1t
was readable. entertaining. and enlight-
ening all the way through, and if the
people want anything in the newspaper
line Sunday evening that is the sort
of thing they viii surely accept
The sic is altogether in SIS favor. The
Washington Herald is commended every
day in the year because IL is not u
blanket sheet. and its Sunday morning
newspaper has become an unqualified
and growing success on wholly rational
lines. Who now reads or cares 10 read
the nonstrous sheets with which the
Sunday field is unhappily gCIged? Truth
10 tell, nine out OF ten people have
come TO regard such sheets as q bore
and an accumulation Size no longer
fools the intelligent reader, even If it
does perchanCe open children's eyes
with wonder.
Journalistic judgment is against Mr..
Munsey's venture into the Sunday even
ing heId We confess 10 misGivings on
our own part. But journalistic judg-
ment is not infallibIe. and never Will be,
and because a thing has not been done
is not and never will be a valid reason
why it should not be done or cannot
be done.
If a Seven-day morning newspaper,
why not a seven-day evening news
pIper2 one Is just as logical as the
ether II is with a fixed habit, rather
than logic, however, that Mr.. Munsey is
now contending, and habit Is usually, if
not invariably, a stubborn element.
Good wishes to him, whatever hap
pensI The man who gets out of the
beaten track interests US every time.
And Mr.. Nunsey. inthis instance, in

The second annual Mitchell Musical
Festival came to a close Wednesday
crowned with an artistic success SO
much cannot be said for the financial
end, for the reason that the weather
operated right against the enter

the crash of the harsher instruments
were introduced in orchestras. Irish
Rhapsody was played between the
two SINGING numbers. 1t was a char

Candidacy Of E. o. McEwen.

e. o. McEwen, of Mt. Vernon.
candidate for representative, was,
born and brought up on a farm near
Rockford, Iowa. He is nearly fifty
years of age. In 1883 he came to
Dakota and he engaged in the mer~
camille business in Mt. Vernon, and
by his careful, honest methods has
built up a large and prosperous BUSH
ness through which lie has gained a
thorough knowledge Of business and
the confidence of the entire COM
munity.
His close connection with the
farming interests, together with his
long business experience, fit him
especially we'll for the Office which
he seeks. He is honest and consci-
,entious, and if elected will represent
the county in a very satisfactory
manner.
1t is thought by the residents OF
the west half of the county that they
should have representation in the
legislature and they have asked Mr.
McICwen to be their candidate.
Realizing that every farmer and
business man is affected by the pres
ent eNorbitant freight rates, Mr..
McI1wen pledges his best endeavors
to secure legislation giving the State
Railroad Commission power to low
er the rate on an equitable basis fair
to all parties concerned. He is also
in favor of an economical admins
tration in state as we'll as county at
fairs, M will use his best efforts to
reduce the state taxes to a more
economical basis. He believes that
corporations should bear their just
proportion of the taxes and will use
his best enNeavors to this end.

Orators Who Appeared in the State Oratorical c

tius body Of young ladies and gentle
nee who sang in tho chorus. Mr..

of the conducting OF Mr.. Hobson,
and that they little expected TO find
a man in this section OF the west
who would attempt the production
OF a musical selection of the character
Of Bach's Goods Own Time" Mr..
Oberhofer told the writer that be
considered the work OF Mr.. Hobson
and his chorus as something mar
4vellous.
Mitchell has every reason to be
exceedingly proud Of the body of
musicians which sang "Wednesday
evening, and 1T IS hoped that the
future will be sufficiently encouraging
for the club to be put on a irmer
basis, and that the third annual
festival will be an assured thing.
With the start that has been
gained, there is a splendid future for
the city in this line ..of music. Else
where is given the names of the
ladies and gentlemen who appeared
in tue chorus club.
MIR. Uberhofer and his men de-
parted Thursday morning for Omaha.
Mitchell will certainly have pleasant
r~ecollections of this talented musician
and gentleman as we'll. He has a
pleasing individuality and he has a
personal effort In trying to please the
people. We believe that the Minne-
apolis Symphony Orchestra is des-
tined to become n OF the greatest
~orchestras in the country.
