BY VIRGIL " McNITT.
Chicago, Aug. 13.-After viewing the
panorama of the first national Pro-
gressive convention, we may give
some attention in retrospect to these
points:
The convention was notable for the
small part played by some of the
conspicuous Roosevelt workers in the
Republican convention. like William
Finn, of Pennsylvania, and for the
considerable part taken by social
workers, like Jane Adams: Mr..
Finn must have felt lonesome more
than once. You wouldn't have known
he was here from anything that hap
pened.
Former Senator Beveridge, through
his keynote speech, sprang into favor
in much the same manner that Gov.
Hadley won the hearts of the Pro-
gressive element of the Republican
convention in June. Beverage quick
ly became the popular hero, the mat
inee idol. The eloquent young adj
vocate is taking the place of the old
line politician in these national gath
eringS.
After Southern Whites.
The question of the southern negro
delegate will Of course become an i'm
portant issue within the new party.
Opponents will make the most of the

opportunity, and may ALLEVIATE much
of the southern colored vote from
Roosevelt. The coloneps idea is to
encourage southern white men to
join the party. rather than to dis
courage them by letting the cOlored
brothers organize the party in the
south. He says that he hopes south
ern white men will call upon the
colored men to send part of the dele
gates to future conventions. 1t is
plain that he disapproves of the com
mon type of colored politicians from
the south, as developed under the old
regime.
Get Few Democrats.
It is significant that very few Dem
ocrats joined in launching the new
party. Judge Lindsey and John NJ.
Parker were almost the only cOnspic
uous former Democrats who took an
active part. The conclusion to be
drawn from this is that Democratic
leaders are well satisfied with Gov
Wilson.
Senator LaFollette's political fu-
ture now becomes a matter of inter
est. If Col. Roosevelt's followers are
successful, they will lead out Of the
Republican party most Of the pro-
gressives or radicals. LaFOllette's
proposed fight for his progressive
principles within the Republican party
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-08-14

would be a rather fruitless battle I'M
der such circumstances. The Rerub-
ncan regulars would out-aumher him
Overwhelmingly. It is now predicted
that Senator LaFollette and his most
devoted followers will vote for Wilson
this year, and leave their future
course for later events to determine.
Col. Roosevelt may not expect to
win, but he is happy. The Progress
sive convention was not a frost"
and he is satisfied. It was shown
that he can arouse enthusiasm as Of
old. and that he does not lack for
lieutenants.
Is 1t An Ice Wagon7
It will now be interesting to note
whether Gov. HadIey, Gov. Osborn,
and some of the other old followers Of
Roosevelt will come into the new
camp, or remain in the old Their
attitude will in manner register the
impression made by the convention
upon the country. 1t will indicate
whether the feeling created in the
nation at large by the events of the
week leans to the belief that Col
Roosevelt is in command of a band
wagon, or to the suspicion that this
vehicle may be only an ice wagon af-
ter all. The convention itself, it
may be insinuated in passing, did
not suggest any thought of ice.

Good Roads Meeting at Dewey.

DEWEY, So. OAK, Jan. 20, 1912.
EDITOR CHRONICLE A business meet
ing was called for the purpose of elect.
ing delegates to represent Dewey at the
Good Roads convention at Deadwood,
Feb. 2 and 3, 1912. 1t was the expressed
sentiment of those present that for all
practicable purposes, good road should
be established from Edgemont to Dewey,
thence west on or near the Tenth Paral-
lei to Thermopolis and Yellowstone
Park; said road to be an automobile
road. The proposed route is practically
established, and when completed, will
supply the link between the South Da-
kota State road to Rapid City and the
Wyoming State road to Denver, and will
become part of the Great Transconti-
mental Road.
The meeting was well attended and
fully demonstrated that Dewey is live
wire on the good roads question. II C.
Crofford and L. Lindburg were selected
as delegates to 60 to Deadwood. Ex-
penses were met and the delegates given
tull power to act for the best interest of
Dewey.

FAREWELL PARTY.
1t brooks wi nae denial,

- 1t brooks WI nae denial,
That the dearest friends are the auldest friends
And the youngest are just on trial.
--RoBBRT LOUIS STEVENSON.
The home of Mrs. Ira McFadden was
the scene OF a lively gathering last Mon
day when members of the NJ. +. Aid and
other friends of Mrs. Mary Todd met to
show their regard for and appreciation
of her, by giving her farewell party,
as she leaves the place that for SO many
years has been her home, and goes to
her sisters home, in Iowa.
For 22 years Mrs. Todd has lived in
Custer and until failing health pre-
vented, was a very active worker in
church and social circles, making many
friends who will miss her. Not often
does one in the sunset of life, when the
allotted span of three-score years-and-
ten-plus five, has passed, find herself
with more warm-hearted friends.
Believing as she did, that "Life is just
What you are aud do" and that to give
to the world the best you have and
the best will come back TO youw Mrs.
Todd has given Of her best in time,
strength, lhUughtfulness for others and
many other good qualities. and the many
expressions of friendship and good will
during the afternoon we're heartfelt.
At five o'clock sumptuous repast was
served. At its conclusion, Oh behalf Of
those assembled, Mrs. Hanley in happy
vein, presented Mrs. Todd with little
gift, as token of regard.
She responded in well-chosen words,
assuring all that, though absent in body,
she would often be with them in mind.
Then, for an hour or more, with Mrs.
Willis at the piano, old songs were sung,
fitly concluding most enjoyable after
noon. With goodnight aud God.speed
to the guest of honor, the company
dispersed.

Attention, Applicants for Seed Grain.

Attention, Applicants for Seed Grain.
There was a good attendance of repre-
sentative farmers at the session of the
County Commissioners Thursday, to con
slider the seed grain proposition. The
Commissioners decided to purchase seed
grain-the amount to be determined
later, upon the return of the petitions
now being circulated throughout the
county. 1t is probable another meeting
will be held about the first of March
for further consideration of this per.
picking proposition.
The County Commissioners of Custer
County, So. OAK, requests all who will
be applicants for seed grain if possible
to have their application filed with the
County Auditor on or before March lst,
1912.

Opinion.

The following conclusions may thus
be drawn from careful reading of the
opinion of the Attorney General: First.
The law Of 1911 completely repeals all
former legislation on the subject of seed
grain, and is the only law under which
the county board is authorized to supply
seed grain to applicants. Second. Sec
tions and 10 of the 1911 law, relating
to the duty of the County Auditor to
enter the Indebtedness as taxes and cre-
ating lien in favor of the county against
the land are therefore unconstitutional
and void. Third. That If the first two

ATHLETES ENTERTAIN.
A Merry Round Of Exercises and
Contests at the Gymnasium.

"a most enjoyable occasion of fun,
frolic, and satisfaction of the inner
mans cravings" was the verdict pro-
nounced by the two score and ten of
Clusters male population, who were in
attendance at the Stag Party given by
the Custer City Hose Company at the
Gymnasium, on Thursday evening,
February LIST.
About o'clock that evening the mem.
bers and their guests began to arrive,
and from that time until the first hours
of the day usually reserved for the
weather forecasting stunts of his royal
highness, Mr. G. Round Hog, a good
time was continually on tap.
Boxing bouts of two or three rounds,
wrestling matches, weight-lifting, dumb
bell exercises, bag punching and other
athletic recreations were provided in
profusion, while the more sedate ones
enjoyed whist and cigars.
The premier event of the evening was
enjoyed by all when Wrestling Instructor
Fisher and w. L. Metcalf stepped upon
the mat. Mr.. Fisher is well scienced
man, and certainly strong for his weight,
as was evidenced when he picked Roy
up bodily and threw him to the mat
though not getting a fall, but he was
outclassed by his opponents excessive
weight and strength. Metcalf got the
first fall in nine minutes after great
exhibition Of fine strength.
About ll:30 o'clock sandwiches, coffee
and cola was served after which the
sports of thu earlier evening were again
resumed, until all were satisfied. 1t was
certainly very successful affair and all
are eagerly looking forward to the time
when the Athletics" will again attempt
things social. Y.
