Underwood Getting Busy After
Its Fire

A meeting was held by the citi-
:ens of the village last Thursday
evening to discuss the matter of
fire protection in Underwood.
The necessity, and the desire to
have fire protection has been
agreed to on several occasions be-
fore, but it was thought that the
town might get along safely until
it became an incorporated city and
had secured some kind of fire pro-
lection, but as it will be couple
of months yet until any action can
be taken by the incorporation it
was agreed that some kind of pro-
lection be secured that would
answer until the incorporation had
secured the desired protection.
A subscription was taken up
and about &OO was secured which
will be used for the purpose of
digging two wells, buying a pump
and hose and other necessary ap-
paratus. r.
Fearing that the recent fire was
of incendiary origin it was thought
that advisable to haye a night
watch and accordingly the service
of ]. G. Stanley was secured.
At the meeting Monday evening
the question of fire protection was
again discussed and = fire company
was organ i z 9 d.-U Underwood

A Rare Opportunity

ne tnlteU states Marine
Band at Mitchell Corn Palace.
September ~ to October 2, 1902
The foregoing is the interesting
announcement that comes to us
from our friends and neighbors
ut Mitchell. Year after year the
enterprising citizens of this hustl-
ing metropolis of the northwest
have unselfishly and unaided,
financed and presented to the peo-
pie of our state and nation beau
tifully decorated Corn Palace with
its attending attractions consisting
of high-grade music, vaudeville
and splendid exhibits of South
Dakota's agricultural resources.
In order to successfully produce
= continuous show of this kind it
becomes necessary to introduce
new attractions from year to year,
and chat the management of the
Mitchell Corn Palace is equal to
the task of keeping up with the
procession in the matter of in
creasingly interesting programs is
testified to by this years booking.
The engagement of the Presidents
band for the twelfth annual cele-
bration. commencing September
9Th, is an exceptionally strong
card and will be welcome news to
thousands of people over the
northwest who otherwise might
never have the privilege of hear
ing our country's first band.
In addition to this extraordinary
attraction, and for the benefit of
those who are not musicially in
clined. the management has added
q number of the best vaudeville
performances that money will Sc
cure. Some of these are given
outdoors and free to the public,
and 4 real carnival of amusement
has baen provided for the entire
week.
We have yet to learn of the
first individual who has visited
Mitchell during any of her annual
Corn Palace Festivals and who did
not 60 home feeling that full value
had been returned for time and
money expended, and all things
considered, we bespeak for the
| forthcoming Corn Palace a record
breaking crowd and exceptional
| enjoyment for those who attend.

Awful Nests of lnjouity

Bro. Mix of the Fort Pierre
Fairplay says that some of the
fellows who have been peddling
the joy-stuff around that town
will fall out of their little balloon
one of these days and hit the
ground before the parachute opens.
The editor of tho Cottonwood
Register then rises to remark that
certain fellows in that town ars
inviting a fall out of = balloon,
and it isn't by reason of peddling
the ''joy-stuff'' either. 1t is in
ferred that the unregenerate ones
have been betting their money on
a wicked card game again.
Then the Kadoka Reporter
chimes in with: The bunch that
is running the affairs of this town
as private snap handed us an
other lemon last week. The other
local Office has been given, without
asking our prices, every dollars
worth of advertising and job work
that can be done here in connec-
tion with the coming Stanley coun-
ty fair. If our enthusiasm fails
and at times we do not appear to
be doing as much q tho other
paper to boost the enterprise, re-
member that they are getting Z
good sized roll of the long green

long will the people of Kadoka

meeting of farmers and other in
terested parties is to be held at
Ottumwa next Saturday for the
purpose of discussion the PROPOSE
ton to put down a number of
artesian wells on Mitchell and
Mule creeks in that township.
Farmers living along those streams
can we'll afford to contribute to
that scheme, for the reason that,
if a good flow is struck, it will
make of Mitchell creek running
stream in all seasons. The people
of Riffel township are also agitat-
ing the artesian we'll proposition,
but a difference of opinion exists
as to the best course to pursue.
Some are in favor of taking ad-
vantage Of the law in such cases
made and provided and bonding
the township for an artesian we'll

down in some place selected by
the state engineer, while others
are of the opinion that it would be

SOLDIERS HOME

q INCE the whitewash brush was
busy yesterday, it is not to be
~ wondered at that it splashed kali
somine all over the Soldiers Home
scandal, and left the veterans at Saw
telle sharing with the public the amaze
ment and wonder created by an opera
bouffe termination of what at one time
looked as if it might really be a serious
investigation, conducted in the interests
of public decency and of fair play for
the men who fought the battles of their
country.
1t is to be hoped the publicity and the
discomfort of criticism and scrutiny
may have the effect of making the in
stitution at Sawtelle for the future
more a soldiers "home" and less a
mere boarding place. The officials of
the home now have a chance to show
what stuff they are made of, and have
an opportunity of meriting public favor
and proving their worth by creating
conditions at the home which will cause
a complete change of sentiment among
the gallant old boys in blue, and will
have the effect of substituting affec-
ton and loyalty for the distrust, sus-
picion AND resentment which have
caused much unhappiness to the in
mates of the home and not a little
trouble to- the officials whose conduct
has been under scrutiny.

SUGGESTS METHOD TO
ELIMINATE COMPETITION

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 2.-[Ed-
itor Herald: Much is said against
competition by writer's on industrial
and political economy who do not rec
cgnize that there are two kinds of hu-
man effort going under that equivocal
term. There is a competition for op-
portunity and a competition in improv-
ing opportunity. Very different in ma
ture are they. The first is the neces-
sity of a wicked condition, sustained if
not instituted by the victims of it's
effects. many of whom foolishly hope
or believe they may become beneficial
rles instead of suffering from it. 1t is
the mother of trusts and of trade un-
ions It's continuance means eternal
industrial war. 1t is founded on legal
privilege, and does not exist in the ma
ture of things. The other kind of COM
petition is exhibited in the invention
of labor saving machines, whereby cap
ital is rendered more effective in the
hands of it's users in multiplying
wealth, and in all efforts to excel in
the production of wealth and in pro-
noting the general prosperity. 1t is
quite evident in the present expert
ments in aerial navigation.
The baleful competition can be de-
stroyed in but one way, namely, by
abolishing the statutes that created
and protect the legal privileges respon-
sible for it, In practice it can be done
only by degrees-little by little. Abuses
and injustices that have been acqui-
esced in for thousands of years are not
Cprooted in a year or a generation. but
beginning can be made in a day. To
be done it must be begun, and the end
is only a matter of keeping on. The
taxation of land values proposed in the
British budget now being considered in
the commons is an excellent case of
beginning.
Any combine worth a second thought
is combine of the voters to undo the
vicious laws they have supported so
long. DIR. Smiths proposition sounds
as puerile as his statement that two
books have been written on it," and
that therefore at is not impractical or
visionary" as if books could not be
written on the widest nonsense. The
way in which he uses the term "com-
bine" serves to show that he has navi-
gated only very shallow waters.

BRoADHEAD

III ITH just indignation the people
! W of Los Angeles resent the pro-
posed restoration of Broadhead
to a place OF power and authority
in this community, and the proposal to
drag the name and fame of Los Angeles
4 through the mire arouses the righteous
antagonism of every man who has at
heart the best interests of our city,
and has a citizens pride in the ma
tionsl reputation of the metropolis of
| Southern California,
| Although Broadhead was not con-
vieted of the offence for which he was
/ tried, enough sworn testimony was
given to preclude absolutely any pos
sibility the self respecting public would
view with equanimity the restoration
to honor and Office, power and author
ity of a man whose name henceforth
will be associated In the minds of in
telligent citizens with conditions which
disgrace any civilization or any COM
munity.
Broadhead is not a martyr. No at
tempt was made to use him for vic
tim. If there was not just cause for
the indictment found against him, then
we may as we'll acknowledge that all
our modern methods of dealing with
criminals, lawbreakers, offenders, pub
lie or private, are founded on sham and
pretence. After trial in which the
accused was allowed to avail himself
of every method of defence which our
generous and liberal system of dealing
with accused persons permits. he was
acquitted. but the acquittal did not ex-
punge the sworn testimony as to his
official conduct which forms part of
the court record, and which, decent and
fair men would think, would prevent
him from making the attempt to win
what he will doubtless call "com-
plete vindlcation" by restoration to Of
nee and salary.
The scandal associated with the name
of Broadhead remains, and as long as
Broadhead is allowed to retain any Of
fetal connection with the city of Los
Angeles, the taint of that scandal will
be upon the city of Los Angeles.
It is to be hoped the advisers of the
police commission will prevent that
honorable body from mourning the red |
hot indignation of outraged citizens, |
and will advise the commission that to
reinstate Broadhead in place and power
would be contra bonos mores, and di-
rectiy opposed to public policy.
The city OF Los Angeles is in duty
bound to give a square deal to thou
sands of citizens who have come here
from all parts of the country. 1t
should make a concession to ethics by
severing Broadheads official relation
ship with the community that is be-
smirched by association with him and
with the scandal which still hangs
over his name. and which Injuries and
must continue to injure Los Angeles
as long as he is allowed to hold Of
fee

no you remember the Cheeryble
brothers? In Los Angeles all the
~ citizens should be members of the
Cheeryble family. To realize all's for
the best, and to do everything that Is
possible to bring about the best possi-
BILE results-the greatest good for the
greatest number-that's the Los An
geles way.
Great or unusual events in the oitys
history are like milestones to mark
its progress, and President Taft's visit
will be milestone event. 1t will i'm
press on the people of the United
States the fact Los Angeles, by sheer
grit, pluck and perseverance, has built
itself UP to a maritime metropolis, and
there can be no doubt the city's career
will be continued, not spasmodically
not by fits and starts, but steadily,
steadily, from one success to another
To excel the excellence of her most ex-
cellent past performances-that's the

U. S. TRIUMPH

N r. COOKS manly attitude in what
may be called the north pole con-
- troversy will win him many ad-
mirers. In a published statement he
said: 'I have promised to submit my
facts, figures and instruments to the
rector magnifcus and faculty of the
University of Denmark (the royal uni
versity of Copenhagen a body of
scientists thoroughly familiar with
polar explorations. know am
right and am confident their verdict
will sustain the accuracy of my OBJ
servations. While retaining the high
est respect for the courteous explorers
who are unconvinced, I decline to en-
gage in controversy with them, their
friends or members of their families"
This statement rings with confidence.
and will make wherever it is read
friends and believers for DR.. Cook. The
Brooklyn explorer has also earned
golden opinions by his unstudied,
frank, hearty enthusiastic exclama-
tions when he heard Peary also had
arrived" at the great north goal
This is good news. I hope Peary
did get to the pole. His observations
and reports on that region will con-
firm mine."
So the most remarkable event in the
geographical and exploring history of
the world has taken place with such
abundant proof that it cannot be aues-
toned. Cooks point Of view is ad-
mirable. Far from being jealous of
Peary, he halls the success of the COM
mander as supplementary and corrob-
orative.
1t is not only gratifying that an
American was the first man at the
pole, but it is pleasant to reflect this
latest American world beating success
was due, not to accident, but to plan
and endeavor. With two explorers and
two expeditions both in the northern
field under the Stars and Stripes, the
other nations of the world may. well
join in applauding the national perse-
verance, persistence, pluck and enter
prise which made two of the sons of
Columbia conquerors Of the pole while
the other nations had settled down to
lethargic acceptance of the demon
strated impossibility" of the feat. In
the bright lexicon Of youth there is
no such word as fail" and the United
States, although old and set" in some
of it's ways, is still a young nation
with the greater and the more glorious
part of it's history before it.

TIA JUANA

m HERE was bull fight at TialJuana
Sunday. Tia Juana is just across
Il the line. 1t is so near the United
States that we opine authorities on
International law will agree with us
that if Mexico maintains a nuisance at
our gates she does so at her own proper
risk and peril, and the law which has
caused the addition to the British en-
pire of several disorderly neighbors
that jeered at British civilization is
still in existence.
l-exican bull fighting corrupts Amer
lean morals and attracts to Mexico
large sums of American money which
should be expended and put in circula-
t. Il at home. Tia Juana is refuge for
American crooks, a headquarters for
American gamblers. a hiding place for
American blacklegs, a vantage ground
from which conspiracies may be con-
eocted by American sehemers. Tia
Juana should be discouraged, not en-
rouraged.

PUBLIC ENEMIES

Y conCocting a plot against the pri-
n maries, machine politicians are
~ again exhibiting themselves as the
enemies of the public and the foes of
the republic. When any change for
the better is made in the methods of
administering public affairs, or of
choosing men to administer them, it
is the duty of all good citizens to &C.
quiesce in the reform without refer
enee to their personal and private gain
or loss.
When a law is passed, it should be
obeyed unhesitatingly. The man who
would deliberately set about devsing
ways and means of evading a law
would be regarded as a dangerous per-
son-in fact, as an outlaw. Why
should the Southern Pacific machine
bosses seek to make outlaws of them
selves? Why should Walter Parker
and Don McGarvin be PERMITTED to
attempt to upset a public policy which
has been adopted because it is in ac-
cord with the first principles of Ameri-
canism, and promotes the greatest
good of the greatest number?
The public win refuse to regard seri-
ously the Rump convention of the ma
chine. AT the same time, it WILL re-
gard seriously the deliberate attempt
of the machine to set at naught the
wish of the people and the law Of the
land bV its attempt to interfere with
the primaries.
