Good Roads Club

A meeting at the Commercial Club

organization of The Webster Good
Roads Club, with the following officers
c. A. Wells, president and S. E. Bron-

president and secretary as ex-officio
members of the committee.
1t is the purpose of the organization
to exert every effort possible toward
the improvement of the roads leading
into Webster, and to this end they will
cooperate with the road supervisors OF
the various townships. Their first
attack will be on the road to the lake,
and it is expected that this road will be
put in good shape in short time.
This is a move in the right direction
and everybody should assist the Web,
ster Good Roads Clubs in their efforts
to improvs the condition of the roads

SECURES AN INJUNCTION
superintendent Best Still Wag-
ing Fight tn Keep Prof.
Hetley Off the Ticket.

The fight being waged by County
Superintendent Best to keep Prof. Het-
ley's name off the primary ballot
assumed a new phase last week when
County Auditor Blegen refused to ac-
cept the protest filed by Best against
Mr.. Hetley, and certified that to
the best of his knowledge Mr.. Hetley
possessed the necessary qualifications
and was eligible to become a candidate
for the Office of county superintendent.
Saturday Mr.. Best went to Aberdeen
and secured an order from the court
restraining the auditor from placing
Mr.. Hetley's name on the ballot, and
Mr.. Best's petition for permanent
injunction will be argued before Judge
McNulty at Sisseton today. The courts
decision will permanently settle the
matter of whether or not Mr.. Hetley's
name will appear on the primary ballot.
The action County Superintendent
Best has taken in this matter has
aroused general Indignation throughout
the county, and has only served to
make the demand for a change in the
county superintendent Office stronger
than ever

Objects to Bass Fishing

| noticed in your last paper an article
entitled, Fishing at Enemy Swim. :"
i was out last Sunday and can verify
your statement that fishing is fine, as
every boat brought in fine strings of
pike, perch and plckerel, and / under
stand that some parties caught over
fifty bass. My partner and | caught
only three of the latter, and promptly
returned them to the waler, as they
were full of roe.
Now word about the bass in Enemy
Swim lake. About. six or seven years
ago Billy Hussong caught one of the
finest pike i ever saw taken from the
lake, and / made the remark that
would give ten dollars if we could have
bass in the lake. Mr.. Hussong, whose
boat was close to mine, said that he
would give ten, and that if would give
him my ten he would put in bass fry
that summer. So he sent for the fish,
but could only get five cans, two thou
sand five hundred in all. The express
was four dollars per can, so his ten and
my ten paid the bill, and Flagstad haul
ed them out to the lake.
1t is against the law in every state
except South Dakota to catch bass be-
fore June 1st. But this state has neg
lected to pass such a law. Now it is
mean and rotten to have outsiders come
and destroy the bass in that lake. II
is wrong to take fish at spawning time
unless they desire to exterminate the
specie. Every man who knows enough
to catch fish ought to know right from
wrong without there being law tc
point it out. | am Disguised with these
violators of others. No true sportsman
would do it. | will close this with q

What the Comet Said.

Well, the Butterflies have seen the
Comet.
Got the first view of it at l4:6 p. NJ.
this morning.
ltpassed over our town from right to
left, so low it swept off several brick
from Hanson & Bergs' new building
and knocked off T. M. Thompson hat
as he was crossing the street. He says
if he had on a tall hat he would have
been killed. In shape it resembles an
immense tadpole with a tail like stick
of jelly. Hundreds of our citizens,
especially women, swooned from fright
at the sight of it.
That it is the forerunner of some
great and important event there can be
no doubt, as a column Of letters
extended from head to tail and read as
follows: III. 0. N. G. C. w. w. b. S.
S. +. ID. c. |. -19l1-l9l2.
Prof Hadley, of the Butler University
deciphers it as follows. each word being
the beginning of name: Hear, Oh
Nation; Great Civil War Will Be Surely
Sent For Dreadful Crimes in 1911
1912"
Prof; Haynes of the same institution
says Prof. Hadley is entirely wrong in
his translation as predictions of war or
disaster are always written in letters of
blood, while the letters here displayed
were of the brightest gold He deci-
pliers it as follows:
The first three letters are to be taken
together maxim the abreviation Hon, #"
The whole would read: Hon. Gilbert
c. Wade Will Be State Senator From
Day County In l911-1912.
There is no doubt but that the last
version is correct. From communica-
ton in Butler Herald.

NECK BROKEN BY A FALL

ed by Being Thrown From a
Buggy in a Runaway.

An accident occurred on the road
northwest of town Saturday night
which resulted in the death of Charles
w. Schon, who resided upon the Phillip
A. Gross farm two miles northwest of
this city.
Mr.. Schon drove into town Saturday,
and in the evening sent his team home,
having made arrangements to drive out
later with a neighbor, Mandus Johnson,
whoresides mile and a half beyond
the Gross farm. johnson was driving
a team of bronchos, and when he hitch

the buggy over and broke the fifth
wheel. After they got things straight
ened up, Harry Howson, WHO'S employ
ed at the livery barn, advised them to
stay in town over night and get the rig
repaired, but they thought they could
get home all right. In going down a
hill near the the Gross farm the front
wheels were torn from the buggy, and
the occupants thrown out, Schon strik-
ing in such a manner as to break his
neck. Mr.. Jyhnson, who was uninjured,
carried the unconscious man home, and
Immediately summoned DR.. Herman,
but when the latter arrived the injured
man was dead.
No blame can attach to anyone in
this matter as the dreadful outcome is

EWART WOULD HAVE CRAFT
Could Designate His Own Bank
AS Depository For All The
States Funds.

A good many voters of the state are
beginning to wonder what is the par
ticular reason for the special fight being
put up in the state in behalf of A. w.
Ewert for state treasurer. The office
pays only small salary, and so long as
no one takes state interest, is not one
of Importance. Still there must be
some reason not yet disclosed. No
such contest is being waged about the
Office of auditor, or secretary of state
or superintendent of schools. The in
surgents once defeated the interest law;
if they had control they could repeal it.
Mr.. Ewert was opposed to the enact
ment of the law and held it up until the
last minute. Perhaps there is some
thing here worth thinking over. Argus
Leader.
The voters of the state do not know,
and possibly the Argus-Leader does not
know, that there is a clear reason for
Mr.. Ewart's candidacy for the office of
state treasurer at this time, in the fol-
lowing two provisions of the state
depository law of which Mr.. Ewart was
author. Section provides as follows:
1.-THE state treasurer may designate
bank or banks in the City of Pierre to
act as active repositories for the collec-
ton of any drafts, checks, certificates
of deposit or coupons that may be
received by him on account of any claim
due the state"
A further section provides as follows:
THE interest, if any, to be paid by
such active repositories shall be fixed
by the state treasurer upon the best
terms obtainable for the state"
You ask for the motive. The voters
of the state will judge the motive of
this "astute politician, this "financier
of ability" who was instrumental in
tina passage of this law, which makes it
possible for him to designate bank"
mot banks, mind you) as an "active
depository, and ''the interest, if any,
shall be fixed by the state treasurer.
Here is your motive for a man to
spend thousands of dollars for nomin-
alton to the office of state treasurer,
which only pays salary of $500 per
year.-Capital-Journal.
For the benetlt of the Day county
voters who are not acquainted with A.
w. Ewert, the reform" candidate for
state treasurer, we wish to state that
he is the president and the largest
stock holder of the Pierre National
Bank of Commerce. If he is elected,
he can, under the provisions of the
depository law of which he was the
author, designate his own bank as the
sole active depository for state funds,
and it is optional with him whether or
not his bank should pay the state cent
of interest for the use of these funds.
AS state treasurer he will be in a posi-
ton to divert thousands of dollars in
interest from the state treasury into
his own pocket, and as he is no better
than the ordinary run of reform"
office seekers there is no reason to
doubt that this graft is what he is after.

ROSCOE REvEILLE STALWART
Another Newspaper After Study
ing The Situation, Line Up
With The Stalwarts.

Inc heVellle has heretofore not lined
up with either of the factions of the
Republican party in South Dakota. Its
adherence to the principles of the Rep
ublican party has never wavered nor
been questioned, but we have been in
doubt as to where duty and conscience
would land us in state politics. Viewer
unfamiliar with local conditions, having
come from another state. We have
carefully studied the fractional differ
ences of the party in the state as voiced
in the press and by the leaders and
laymen. We have tried to ascertain
facts and from these reach our conclu-
sion. In doing this we never for a
moment considered the mercenary side
so far as political patronage is con-
cerned and have no hope or ambition to
acquire notoriety or preferment. We
want to give our patrons good clean
newspaper, to give them facts and a
hundred cents worth for every dollar
received. Our success from business
point has far exceeded our expectations
and for the liberal patronage we are
grateful. We believe paper should
have convictions of its own and courage
to speak them regardless of popular
approval. We would rather stand alone
and be right and know we are right
than go with the throng and be wrong.
In reaching conclusion we were con-
fronted by two contending factions-the
the stalwarts with record closing with
the gubernatorial term of Elrod and of
Kittredge in the u. S. Senate. In state
affairs the Elrod and preceding admin
istrations had been economical, but not
parsiminous. No charge was made of
extravaganza or mismanagement of
state offices or state institutions. The
people simply wanted a change. Mr..
Kittredge had become national char
acter. He had brought great honor to
himself and the state thru his services
for the state and nation in the senate;
but the people wanted change.
The insurgents came into power when
the state debt was at it's lowest point
and the influence of South Dakota in
the councils of the nation at the high
est point. From practically nothing the
state debt has been increased to over
eight hundred thousand dollars and will
reach the million dollar mark before
1910 closes. From commanding posi-
ton in the U. S. Senate, South Dakota
has become a jest. We will not deal in
personalities, but will say that in the
upper branch Of the National Congress
South Dakota is represented, as was
stated in a great national weekly, by
two county commissioners. No refec-
ton whatever is intended on our highly
honorable, able and conservative county
board.
In brief this is history. In brief we
cannot conscientiously support the
insurgent faction. In the pending pri-
mary campaign we can conscientiously
support the stalwart faction and this
we will do.-Roscoe Reveille
