FIRE DOES DAMAGE Al
WETA

Wednesday, morning our town
was startled by the news that the
hotel at Weta had burned and
that Miss Soules, a teacher in the
schools there had been severely
burned. DR.. Hennings made the
trip there on the railroad speed
er and found that Miss Soules
had been burned so badly that it
will only be by the best of care
that her life will be saved. At an
early hour the landlord of the
hotel got up and started the fire
and went out to get some wood,
returning he found the interior
OF the building in flames. The
alarm was sounded at once and
those sleeping upstairs awaken
ed and warned of their danger
and all made their escape safely.
but Miss Soules returned to her
room up stairs to get some things
and had just stepped on the
stairs to make her escape when
the stairs fell, mass of flames.
Those around hurried to get her
out OF the flames and finally sue
ceeded in dragging her out, but
she had received burns that even
though her life is saved she will
have a hard fight to recover.
Miss Soules was taken to the
Sanitarium at Chamberlain after
the burns had been dressed by
DR.. Hennings. The building and
contents are total loss a. moth
ing was saved.-Kadoka Press. ;

GOD GIVE Us MEN

"God give men," The time demands
Strong minds great hearts, true faith and willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill
Men whom the spoils of office mot buy;
Men who possess opinion and will;
Men who have honor; who will not lie;
Men who stand before demagogue
And dam his treacherous batteries without wnking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking!
For while the rabble with their thumb creeds
Their large profession and their little deeds
Minge in selfish strife; 10! Freedom weeps!
Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps!

CHANGES N PAST SIX YEARS
Ash Creek Reader Knows Politi-

and Does Not Mince Words

Editor Review, Philip, S. D.
Kindly allow me a little space
in your valuable paper to ex-
press myself upon and to remind
the voters Of this great Empire
Of Stanley, who have proven
themselves to be a class of citi
zens that are awake to the issues
OF the day, and who l am conf
dent will again on June 4th show
who the real, true friends of we
who were hOmestaders four years
ago are
In the first place, the Philip
News says that the county Off
GERS have all been crooks Cor
words to that effect for the last
six years. Well, now, let us 90
back and see. Do many of you
know who were the county Off
GERS of six years ago? | do.
Some of them were fine officials.
But still those were the days of
free range not only all over
western South Dakota but Fort
Pierre in particular. The days
that DR.. G. j. Lavery as politi-
cal leader and boss could do Just
as he pleased with a majority of
the officials Of the county. And,
mind you, all the improvements
made in the way of bridges, roads
and in fact everything else was
in the east end Of the county and
up until four years ago We got
nothing except the dirty end of
the deal.
Now, just 60 back say five
years ago and try to think who
were trying to discourage settle
ment in this county one way and
another. Can you remember? /
can Was f. A. Morrison help
ing the homesteaders and trying
to protect them then? No! l
even know people who had to
homestead in his pasture-"his, ;"
mind you. It was his and the
homesteader was trespasser.
-Four years ago we gathered
together from all over the coun-
ty and picked men for office that
we thought competent, and our
friends. Possibly we were mis-
taken in some Of them, or posi-
bly, some fell into the dear Doc
eor's hands before they had been
in the county seat long, for we
know he is a man that will sure
treat you to the best there is 60
ing as long as he can make the
people pay for it. Well, anyway,
We elected our ticket and things
began to take a different stand
by the hard work of our officials
and helpers.
Now, We do. not wish to take
up all this issue of the newspap-
er but We do wish to call your at.
tention to few things that are
trying to be worked. The same
leader of six years ago is trying
to become Gar again, and If
You want things to 60 back to
where they first were, find .

ABLE, EFFICIENT, SUCCESSFUL

= Lawrence County Member Write
! of G. L. Millett's Work in thu
I'll Last Legislature
81 Omaha, Nebr., May II, 1912.
} Editor Philip Weekly Review,
) Philip, s. D.
! Dear Sir
s Any one who says that the
Honorable Charles l.. Millett was
: not one of the most able, efficien
and successful members of the la.
: House of Representatives, is
either ignorant Of the facts or is
deliberately representing some
private interest or personal griev
ance and not the interests Of the
people of Stanley county.
AS a fellow member, it was my
pleasure to be seated near him
} and to work with him on several
committees. l know of no men,
Der who paid closer attention to
duty, was harder or more ef-
fective worker or commanded
more uniformly the respectful at
tention of the House whenever he
arose to address it. Never once
was there suggestion Of any
thing but the purest Of motives,
never once was there even a
hint Of selfseeking, and never
once was there a hesitancy on
the part of the strongest mem
Der Of the House to recognize in
him an adversary worthy of his
steel.
4 Few members were as success
full as Mr.. Millett in securing the
passage of as many or as impor-
tant bills. OF eleven bills intro
duced by him, not counting two
introduced by request, six be-
came laws, and a seventh was re
ally passed, through in the
strategy of the fight, the com
panion immigration bill intro
duced at the same time in the Sen
ate was the one which was actua-
lily put through, with the leader
ship in the hands of Mr.. Millett
in the real battle for it, getting it
through the House. Among these
successful bills was that increas-
ing the appropriation for the
Cottonwood Experiment Station,
accomplished against great odds,
with coalition against all such
appropriations which it was neces
sary to break. Without the effec-
tive work of Mr.. Millet that in
crease could not have been secur-
ed.
OF the remaining four bills, but
one was actually defeated on the
floor of the house. Few mem
bers, l opine, have as good a per
centage Of successful bills as that
In my judgment, few members
of the last legislature will rank
with Mr.. Millett as an able, broad
gauge and successful legislator.
He was one of the really sub
stantial and reliable thinkers of
the session, an honor to the state
and a credit to the county he
represented. If Stanley county
wishes to be effectively heard in
the councils of the state it
should gladly, yes eagerly, avail
itself of the offer of Hon. O. l..
Millett to serve it once more and
by honoring him by elevating him
to the senate, it can best honor
itself.
Respectfully,
! Anson H. Bigelow.
