WHAT ABOUT ~?

Is Logan poins Ia nave an Indepen
dence Day celebration this year? j
so isn't II about time something was
being done? Tba Glorious Fourth
Is less than ,wo weeks distant and i.
"A celebration of sny merit is to be OBJ
served immedisi. sr'ion is necessary
So far we have been able to learn
up to the present there Is very little
interest being msoifested. The May
OF states that not one OF the citizens
has said anything to him relative to
the matter and consequently he feels,
and Justly so, thSi IL Ia not up to The
commissioner to take the initiative
in such a proposition.
As the matter now stands the chan.
ces for an Indeos odeoce Day celebra-
ton are very remote. Whether or
not, such will re the case regarding
q Pioneer Day celebration remains to
be seen, but II soms interest is not
soon forthcoming, In the matter, that
too will be passed no with the slang
rejoinder, "notbin' doin'."

FOREWORD.

With this issue of the Wagner Post
the Undersigned make their appear
ance as the editors, proprietors and
publishers of this paper.
The province of local paper is first
of all, in giving items of interest
about people and events that are trans
piring around Us; to make the inter-
ests of its home town and county its
interests, and present every advantage
it and its environs has. A good news
paper always gives town a good
name. With that end in view it is our
ambition to give the city of Wagner a
paper that will do credit to the best
city on the Platte line.
In politics The Post will be demo-
cratic.
We will support the nominees of
that party for county, state and ma
tional Offices where we believe the best
interests of our community will be
conserved by their election.
We have chosen the name Of The
Wagner Post in order to avoid con-
fusion that might arise from having
too much of a similarity of names of
the papers in the same city. While
we are sorry to lose the prestige that
has been gained by the eight years of
the Leaders existsne, yet we hope to
make the name of The Post known to
an even greater extent. The best
energies of both ef the editors will be
bent to this end, and We bespeak the CO.
operation and assistance of both SUBJ
scribers and advertisers.

The raiload commissioners have
been petitioned to order sidetrack
placed midway between Geddes aud
Platte, near the site of old Blooming
ton. upon land purchased by w. E.
Heaton, of Yankton.
The Charles Mix County Bank, OF
Geddes, has announced that it will give
q prize for the second best ten ears of
corn grown in Charles MIX County and
shown at the next Farmers institute
held in Geddes, corn planter with
I60 rods of wire.
Wheeler Courier: Hon. Enoch Nor
beck. of the Platte Artesian Well
Company, of Platte, was down on
Monday. His company has the con-
trait for putting down an artesian well
ou the old Clough ranch north of town
and ne was down to take the elevation
of the ground at the location OF the
proposed well. Mr.. Norbeck has in
struments with which he can ascertain
with great accur acy the elevation of
any location. The elevation above sea
level at the Missouri River bank is
1910 feet At the court house it is
1900 feet. At the highest point in the
hills on the Wheeler Platte road 1t is
1900 feet and at Platte City, 1880
feet. When the elevation Is secured
at any place within the artesian basin
it can be estimated about how far the
drill has to 60 down to secure flow Of
water and thus needless drilling where
the low cannot be obtained is avoided.

With this issue we retire from the
publication of The Wagner Post and
surrender the reins to Messrs. l.. E.
Corey and L. d. Blackman, vino will
pilot the destinies of the paper in
the future.
Mr.. Corey is too well known to our
readers TO need any introduction, hav-
ing resided in Wagner at one time. He
has since been resident Of Lake
Andes and for several years published
the Lake Andes Wave.
Mr.. Blackman is a practical news
paper man and will lie in charge of
The Post. and will be found to be on
the job all the time, and needs only an
opportunity to convince our patrons
that ne can satisfy them on any work
intrusted to him.
We wish to thank our patrons for
the liberal support given the paper
under our management, and trust you
will continue with the new firm.
We have done our best to make the
Post newsy paper. worthy of sup
port, and lea.e with it our readers to
decide whether we have made good,
and that our successors will improve
the paper materially is . certainty.

enthusiastically favorable thereto.
The report may be false, though l
have not seen it denied; but,
since the same contingent which
stood by Joe Cannon in his hour
of need, lined up against the res.
olution, one cannot be blamed
that his suspicion is aroused. Mr..
Hensley is not of that contingent,
and his difference with me in the

weakens my confidence in his

THE st. Louis Republic is the one
big daily that brings Joy and hope
and courage from day to day to
the Democratic reader. Its news
columns are a full and fair pre-
sentiment of passing events, set out
without prejudice or bias. The
editorial page is the best in the
West-thoughtful and instructive,
but never dull with learned heavi-
ness. | used to read the old Re-
publican, when genial, big-hearted
"Bill" Hyde was editor, with the
feeling that I was communing with
q friend, warm, tried and true. So
1t is with the paper under it's pres
ent management. I never lay it
down but with regret that it's read
ing for the day is ended. 1t is
gratifying to know that the success
the Republic so we'll deserves is not
denied its worth. The paper ought
to be in every Democratic house,

| ONCE heard a tin drummer"
proclaim that the tariff placed on
that commodity had reduced its
cost to the ultimate consumer forty
per cent. Maybe that's what's the
matter with the price of lead now.
If he was correct as to tin the rule
must surely apply to lead. If a
high tariff makes low prices, why
not a low tariff high prices? This
matter is most worthy careful con-
sideration!

THE Republicans of the Third
Congressional District had -
of a time in Excelsior Springs last
Thursday. The occasion vas to
select delegates to the National
Convention. Two conventions
were held and two sets of delegates
were chosn. One was instructed
for Roosevelt, the other for Taft.
The Taft contingent adopted the
following resolutions:
We deplore the uncalled for
action of the governor of this
state in sending into this district
the employees of his administra-
ton, who, while drawing their
their salaries from the revenue of
the people for their services, have
for the past month devoted their
time and energies toward securing
delegates to the convention favor
able and subservient to the wishes
of our chief magistrate of this
state, and we deplore that they
should so lose their s~elf-respect
that they should become the lead
ers of a bowling mob, who, in
their rage of defeat, should seek
to interfere with the peaceful pro-
ceedings of this convention.
We unqualiiedly condemn the
active participation of Gov. Had
ley and his appointees in his at
tempts to thwart the will of the
Third Congressional District. He
has sent his appointees and caused
letters to be written to all parts
of the district to browbeat, intimi-
date and oerce the voters of this
district. He has caused special
trains to be run to this convention
and tho county conventions held
heretofore in this district, the ex-
penses of which has been borne
by the steel trust, their allies and
kindred interests. We feel that
the time has come to speak out
that the people of the state may
know the character of the men
and the methods they are using to
contest this state for the nomina.
ton of Theodore Roosevelt.
/ We appeal to the Republicans
of this state and ask them to re-
sent the conduct of the men who
came to this convention to par.
ticipate in the organization of the
Congressional Committee, and
then refused to present any evil
dence to said committee in sup
port of their claims for recogni-
ton. The committee by a vote of
8 to 1 sustained the regular dele
cation. Then these men who
were under the inspiration and in
struction of the governor of this
state resolved themselves into a
mob and invaded the hall with no
intention of participating in any
deliberate way in the proceedings
of the convention, but for the
sole purpose of creating a dis
graceful and disorderly scene,
seldom ever Witnessed, unless
their counterpart be brought in
comparison with other d~isorderly
scenes enacted in the counties OF
this district.
Never before in the history Of
the politics of this country has an
executive go abused the power
conferred by a great party. Gov
Hadley has been a resident Of
this state nineteen years, sixteen
Of which he has been an office
holder elected by the Republicans
of the state.

The Wickedest of All.

Why is it that manufacturing
presents the most shocking labor
conditions of all industries, unless
it be that of mining?
1t is manufacturing and mining
that always receive the most gem
erous consideration of govern
ment, and yet what do we e as
a result? Swollen fortunes for one
thing. Pauperized labor in many
places for another.
The Federal Bureau of Labor
has just published a report on the
standard of living among the cot
ton mill workers of the South
which reveals conditions like
those at Lawrence, Mass, that are
a reproach to the industry and to
the country.
They are a disgrace to the in
dustry because it is inconceiva BILE
that any human activity need be
carried or with such utter disre-
gard of justice and decency. They
are a shame to the country be-
cause this enterprise is ''protect-
ed" at an expense to the people
of millions yearly.
To earn $500 or 5000 a year,
which are the best returns noted,
the services of a father or a moth.
er with four children were re-
quired. The average number of
wage earners per family was SO.
All were found to be underfed
and poorly clothed. Sickness
was everywhere in evidence.
Most of the people are in debt.
In conclusion, it is said that the
inmates of the penitentiary at At
lanta are better fed and clothed
than most of the mill workers.
Yet this industry is highly
favored by the extortionate tariff
Its chief owners are wealthy.
They contribute generously to Re-
publican campaign funds. They
exercise great political influence.
They are under the strongest
moral obligation to treat their en-
ployes generously.
We should say that a protected
manufacturer rolling in luxury
who holds up and appropriates to
his own use the money wrung
from the American people by tax
alton on the plea that it is to ben
eft labor is the most conscience
less offender in the world.
Our prisons are full of highway
men, burglars, sneak thieves and
confidence men who are his SUI
periors.-St. Louis Republic.
