U. ). Commissioner at Kadoka

For nearly a year kadoka has
been without L. S. Commissioner
and those who needed the services
OF such an officer have been forced
to go elsewhere to transact their
business. Some time ago petition
was circulated and was general v
signed by our citizens, asking that
ID. Z. Weesner be appointed to
the place which has been vacant
since W. G. Meyer moved away
last summer. Mr.. Meyer has un-
til recently held the appointment
but has resigned, and on last Mon
day Mr.. Weesner received notice
of his appointment. He will at
once enter upon his duties and
those wishing to file on land or
make final proof may do so before
him here in Kadoka. This will be
welcome news to the people in the
vicinity OF 1>adoka who have occas-
sion to need the services of such
an officer.
We understand that Mr.. Wees
ner will have an office at the Ka-
doka State Bank where he may be
found.
We are glad to make this
announcement and trust that all of
our citizens will bear it in mind
and give a home man the prefer
ence.-Kadoka Press.

Northwestern Observes SUNDAY

The Chicago & Northwestern
railroad has determined to make
Sunday a day of rest as far rs
possible. Work in all depart
ments of the road, other than in
those actually necessary to the
operation of the system, will be
suspended and the employees given
the day to themselves. A similar
plan was announced last week by
the United States Steel corporation.
The new scheme of the North
western was put into effect last
Sunday when from IA m. to p.
m only passengers and perishable
freight was moved throughout the
system of 5000 miles. While it is
of course impossible to give to all
railroad employees day off on Sun
day, it is estimated that the plan
will allow from 10000 to 10000
men, chiefly members of train
crews and freight handlers, to
spend the day at home.

Baseball GOSSIP

The baseball season is at hand.
The essential apparatus of base
ball is simple and inexpensive. All
that is required is a field, a stick.
the ball itself and police protection
for umpire. One advantage of the
game as played professionally is
that those sitting in the grand
stand can play the game great
deal better than the eighteen men
on the diamond. 1t is also true
that any one of the spectators,
even though perched on a tele-
phone pole across the street or
looking through a knot hole in the
fence beyond right field car Judge
of the pitchers skill or the runner,
fleetness much more intelligently
than the arbiter who stands behind
the battery. The great merit of
the game is that the people can
participate in it. 1t is not synony-
nous with silence. The thing to
do is to take off your coat and root
as long and as loudly as you can,
even If you don't know what is
happening.

Hughes County Gets Next

Last year our county assessor,
+. l.. Norman inaugurated a sys-
tenn OF assessing land that put the
reasonable and heaviest end of the
tax load on the nonresident land
owner. Abandoned and uim-
proved lands were assessed at the
same rate as improved where the
owner was in possession. There
were those who said they would
never stand for it; that they would
go to the supreme court and the
like of that; but they didn't.
Hughes county has caught on as
the following article from the
Capital Journal indicates. The
nonresident speculator will get
his from now on in South Dakota
if few of the fellows who are in
that mind now can deliver it to
him.
Our county commissioners took
the advice of this paper to some
extent, and made a change in the
system of assessing Hughes county
lands. Instead of following the
old sterotyped form of copying the
assessor books the board instructed
the assessors to make three classi-
tications of lands and put it from
S to IS instead of s6 as recon-
mended by the state board. This
will begin to put the screws on the
man who is specializing on the fu-
ture of Hughes county to the det-
riment of the existing population.
1t means that the wide expanse of
vacant land near the capital will
get touched up a little, and put
some of the burden on the specu-
lator who will neither sell nor i'm
prove. The only thing that there
can be any criticism if any
there is, is the placing of the eight
dollar limit on land near Pierre.
1t should be as much as $40.
The man who owns vacant land
IS detriment to the posterity of
every man who tries to farm here,

Gov. Vessey and John F Shrader

All who had the pleasure Of list
ening to the public discussion of
the political questions that now
agitate the people Of South Dako-
ta, by the above gentlemen. last
Thursday night, must have been
impressed with the spirit of fair
ness and truthfulness shown by
the speakers. There was no politi-
cal buncom, or peanut politics in
dulged in.
Gov. Vessey waded right into
the discussion without any parley-
ing. He showed himself to be mas
ter of the questions. and his argu-
ments and explanations carried
conviction with them. Gov. Nessey
is not the polished orator, that
awakens the sympathetic nature
and enthralls the listener with his
eloquence and magnetic power,
but he is the plain representative
business man of the fa<p, and of
the common people in general, and
a. such commands the respect and
confidence of the people of South
Dakota. His administration has
been along the lines demanded by
the people who put him there. To
them he has given the best of sat
isfaction.
The stalwarts are not supposed
to be satisfied with anything done
by the progressives, and no mat
ter how cheap or we'll the affairs
Of state are or may be conducted,
dissatisfaction and criticism are
expected from that class of politi-
clans.
Mr.. Schrader, the Black Hills
candidate for congress, is another
man close to the hearts OF the
common people. l say common
people because most of the inhabi-
tants of South Dakota are in that
class.
The aristocrats and millionaires
are but few in number and are
always in a class by themselves.
Congressman are but servants of
the people. They are elected for
two years, and during that time
are supposed to demonstrate to the
people their fitness or unftness for
that responsible and high calling.
If they are not true to the voters
who put them there, or do not
show capacity to perform the
duties of such exalted servitude
they are supplanted by others
whom the people think are better
qualified. Mr.. Schrader has the ap-
pearance of a high minded clean
American citizen and learned in
