Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1909-06-12

The opera house was crowded to its
utmost capacity Thursday night to hear
the. operatta of "Golden Hair and the
Three Bears" Lillian McDuffee of the
first grade, was Golden Hair-the star
of the play. 1t is remarkable that such
"little tot" could carry through such a
lengthy aid intricate part-but that she
was crowned with success was evidenced
by the hearty applause rendered. In
fact there was not flaw from start to
finish. Each one was excellent In their
special role. Words are inadequate to
express the beauty of the scene where
the forest children surround Golden
Hair and guard her in sleep. Much
praise is due the teachers for their un-
firing efforts in drilling the scholars to
unison of action. It was pleasing en-
tertainment-showing unusual talent for
children of that age.

REFORM.

Rev. Z. G.. B. Mann at LeXing-
ton on Sunday preached on The
Methods of True Reform" He
first considered the need of reform
as declared by visiting preachers,
travelling men, a prominent official
and the President of Kentucky
University. docs he mean State
University } He next asked :
Should the spirit of reform be
sane and substantial or should it
be sensational 2" Il think it
should be substantial. / have
never thought it a good plan to
laundry our soiled linen in public. y
rs it right to depend on some
outside people-like Mrs. Crane or
Brooks Brothers-to attempt to
reform the city in one night, like
Jonah grew his gourdl | have no
harsh word or even unkind intima-
ton for the persons just referred
to. They meant well and probably
did good. But this is not a matter
to make reputation for visiting
workers; this is a work that the
citizens of Lexington should do
for themselves"
Above is the paper report.
The laws can be enforced in
Lexington, conditions surrounding
the hundreds of students who an
nually gather at Lexington can be
greatly improved, officers will do
their duty in Lexington If preach
ers, teachers, editors and other
citizens determine that laws must
be enforced in Lexington.
If outside people like Mrs.
Crane and Brooks Brothers are
necessary to stir up Lexington,
let them come. Visitors some
times see and hear what homefolk
miss, or seeing and knowing. fail
to expose.

NO SUNDAY GAMES. z

Mayor B'Brien, of Paris, KY,
on Monday issued an order to the
Chief of Police that no more Sun
day baseball playing will be toler-
atedin Paris. In letter to j.
w. Bacon, president of the Paris
baseball club, the Mayor fully ex-
plains the causes for his order,
viz: Noise and confusion, the
crowds on the streets are a nui-
sance, occurrences on the grounds
and street cars are disgraceful,
whiskey drinking 10y patrons of
game) from blind tigers outside of
city limits, swearing on the street
in presence even of ladies, etc., etc.
He states he has no other alterna-
tive.
Men who have much self-respect,
who have regard for the Lords
day and its services, who have
high conceptions of citizenship,
will not take pleasure in such re-
sorts on the Lords day and the
usual characters that frequent them
on the Lords day.
The restraints of law should not
be necessary, unless officers of the
law have to deal with toughs. We
think that athletics can be con-
Quoted hOnorably and with pleas
ure and recreation to the patrons,
but we have no favor for the usual
Sunday sport. 1t betokens evil
for our country.

most estimabIe gentlewomen.
They were anxious for US to take
a position on a matter in which we
have only a most cursory interest.
but about which they were quite
eager. We told them that we
would gladly publish commune
cation signed by them, making the
statements which they made to us
personally, and call attention in
the editorial columns to their state
ment and say to the readers of
the paper that we had entire
confidence both 10 their high pur-
pose and strict veracity.
I'm holy horror they held up
their hands, saying they could not
have their names appear in public
print about the matter they were
interested in, but that they thought
we ought to take it up and raise
such row that the cause of com
plant which they had would be
corrected. Whether it be due to
that disagreement or not, one of
those who has been a most pleas
ant acquaintance for many years
seems to feel that she made mis-
take in giving us her friendship.
I'VE would also like some of
our readers to know a remark Ed
Farrell made to us when we first
became connected with our paper.
I'm condoling with us upon that
connection he earnestly urged us
to make it temporary only, saying:
You may praise every member of
family: have notices in the So
ciety column about the goings and
comings of every member; boost
the enterprise of the man of the
family and every organization to
which the woman of the family
belongs: have a picture of the
daughter when she graduates and
suppress the news of the son be-
inc in the police court. for five
years: they will think it all right
simply because they subscribe to
the paper; then one morning you
have notice in that the fourth
cousin of the father-in.law of one
OF the family, notorious old
horse thief, has been arrested, and
they will all get mad at you for
ever
There i. enough truth in his
observation to publish it with a
prayerful hope that some Of our
readers will read and ponder its
lesson. Lexington Herald, May

PUT YOURSELF IN OUR
PLACE.

public is occasionally the subject
of animated discussion. 1t is
sometimes difficult for those not
directly connected with a news
paper to realize two essential
facts: first, that a newspaper is
private property, not a public IN
Stitution: that no newspaper can
be either influential or permanent
which is not successful in making
its receipts exceed its eXpendi-
lures; that the only commodities a
newspaper publisher has to sell is
space in his advertising columns
and copies of his paper. The
second is that it must be a matter
of choice what appears in either of
the editorial or news columns of a
paper.
Scores of people have no con-
ception of the fact that a news
paper has to depend upon the sale
Of space in its advertising col
umns for its existence, just as a
merchant, or coal dealer, or farm
er, has to depend upon the sale of
goods or produce, or a lawyer or
physician or laborer upon the sale
of his services. The requests
which are made that free service
be done by a newspaper would,
we imagine, astound anyone not
directly connected with daily
paper.
I'VE think it is a moderate esti-
mate to say that such requests for
free advertising in the columns of
our paper, for reading notices,
for boosts of various enterprises
aggregate during the year, a de-
mand for space worth nearer ten
than five thousand dollars. And
1t IS not a rare occurrence to have
one who is neither a subscriber
nor a patron of the paper to ask
the insertion of an advertisement
for some particular object, coup
ling with it a request that a copy
Of the paper be sent him so That ne
can see that the notice or the dis
play advertisement is as he wishes.
1T is a much rarer occurrence
to have anyone who asks such
favOrs indicate in any way his APP
probation of the fact that the
paper is doing exactly the same
favor "A merchant would do if he
contributed goods. We doubt if
there is any newspaper man who
does not sometimes get a little bit
track sore, and feel it would be
better to make it an invariable
rule to publish no reading notices
or display advertisement Cor which
regular charges are not made and
collected. contributing, if he de-
sires, the amount of the charge to
the enterprise for which the free
advertisement is asked.
1T often seems ine&plicable to
us how insistent some citizens are
that a newspaper shall take an ag-
gressive position ON some particu-
lar question in which they are in
terested, when they themselves are
unwilling to have any definite
views on the subject.

with me these questions: Are
these men temperate in their hab-
its! Are they moral? Have they
unduly pressed their political
claims upon the people? To the
first two, l.. g. Davis answers
Yes" To the third he answers
NO" How does w. l.. Craig

Voter, go TO the polls on June
26, 1909, and cast yosr vote for a
man who advocates and practices
high standard of citizenship ia the
