Mysterious Smith, December IL

AT last we have procured an at
traction which we feel safe in rec
ommending. An attraction that
for the past eight years has been
breaking the records for playing to
capacity business.
The Mysterious Smith Company
is this season carrying a much
larger cast than ever before, with
special scenery and many new
novelty features.
Besides the show being guaran-
teed, Mysterious Smith makes
many cash offers and prizes to
anyone who can hold him with
ropes, chains, locks and handouts,
including the police.
Don't fail to see this show as it
is one of the greatest treats of the
season, and comes to our city as
one of the best RECOMMENDED at
fractions on the road today. On

With this issue Of the News the

Of getting the sheet out IN the eX'
celent manner which has marked
It's appearance heretofore.
The newspaper game has been

is the only trade that has ever
been practiced and, while not eX-
artly one OF the original members
OF Noah s ark, yet at the same
time our experience IN the print

of long years
We have invested our money IN

expect fair share of your busl-
ness and expect to retain it, by
our ability to get out work that
will please you, work that Is the
result Of long practical experience,
and work that will bring You the
desired results.
We are boosters, from Booster
vile, and with the facilities that
we have, Mobri lge Moves will
he the slogan. The old adage
Cast your bread upon the waters
and it will return to you in ten,
fold' is never appliable than to
the newspaper business.
We know that Mobridge is a
good town, that it has a great fut-
ure assured, that the citizens of
Mobridge are alive to its possi-
bilities and are all pulling togethe,
to attract investors for Legitimate
business openings. We want
you to set us down with the rest
OF the boosters as that is the side
Of the ledger to which we belong,
all of which reminds us of little
story:
An old southern darkey dropped
into a hardware store an1 told the
proprietor that he wan ed to buy
some powder. The hardware man
took down the keg and started to
weigh out the desired amount
The da,ky watched him with Sus-
picion written all over his face.
Boss" he said, let me see some
of dat dar powda. " The merchan'
poured little in his hand and tho
old man turned the grains over
and over with his fore finger, re-
marking on the quality he said,
Boss dat powda done been shot
afore.'
Probably some of the "powda"
of Mobridge being the best little
city in the state has been shot
afore", and if so we stand con-
victed.

! Gov. F0SS Hits | New Haven Road
Demands Dissolution of Boston Railroad Holding Company,
 in Message
IMPOSITION UPON PUBLIC
Both New Haven and B. & NJ. Enjoy Benefits Without Giving Through
 Service.

Boston, Jan. 5-Gov. Eugene N. Foss appeared before the joint session Of both houses of the Legislature, yes l terday, and took the oath of office for the second time. Following this he delivered his second inaugural message to the largest assemblage that has ever attended similar ceremonies. Gov. Foss is the second De-locrat to serve two terms as Governor of Massachusetts.
 The dissolution of the Boston Rail road Holding Company, a corporation Haven & Hartford Railroad Com pany to acquire control of the Boston & Maine system, was one of the most important steps which Gov. Flu to take. He a so advocated that the two railroad systems should be physi- caIly connected under conditions safe guarding the public interest. Re garding the railroad situation, Gov. , Foss saGd:
 ''The Boston Railroad Holding Com pany is wholly indefenSible, and now demand that the constitutional power of the commonwealth be exercised to dissolve it. This holding company was created, by the enactment of a previous Leeis ature, for the sole pur- pose of permitting the New York, New Haven & Hartford Company to ac- qrfre control of the Boston & Maine railroad in violation of public policy ana Ln6- statutes or the state.
 Both railroads enter Boston on the opposite sides of the city: and this ho- ding company has enabled bo h railroads to maintain a break in their freight and passenger service at this great center of industry and popula- ton while enjoying all the benefits of combination and public franchise. It Is preposterous to permit the union of these companies so long as the public is denied the benefit of united rail- road service for through passenger and through freight At present bo h pas senger and freight service is fixed at the rates and over the routes most profitable or convenient to the com pantes, without reference to pubJc convenience or economy. The loss to the public under these conditions has been and is enormous.
 ''The Boston Railroad Holding Com pany must be dissolved. This is the first step toward securing the right of the people to adequate service. If the two railroads concerned are not parallel and competing In violation of the. sherman act, then there is no ob- lection to consolidation of these properties, under proper restrictions and conditions. The principal con- dition is that the two lines shall be physically connected, and thus pro vide for through passenger and freight traffic"

 Announcement, or rather an appeal to this effect, was made here byf the committee on amusements and vaca- ton resources by working girls, in the form of circular sent out with the idea of enlightening the public on the. real nature and origin of these dances And when the public Txaa ws explained Mrs. Charles Henry Israels' chairman of the committee, she feels sure that the dances will be tabooed. says:
 This dance has spread so that it is now danced at all but the most select dances, although. of course, in it's more or less modified form. But it does not in the progress of modifica- tion lose one whit of it's disreputable indentity and demoralizing influ- ence.'

MONOPOLY OF II NATIONS WATER POWERS

TT I was hardly needed for Corporation Commissioner Knox in his
Ii disquieting report on waterpower monopoly in this country
to state the facts contained in his report to arouse the people
TO the dangers that confront them. They have the evidence of
these dangers on every hand. But the revelation made should
powerfully stir Congress. Sixty per cent. of the developed com
mercial water power in the United States is already controlled by
ten interrelated groups which are practically a unit. They also
control about 100000 of undeveloped horsepower. They are rapid
~ acquiring more. The name of ]. P. Morgan is brought promi
nenty out in the report and the ten groups include more than
fifty banks and financial houses, "many of the first rank Of I'm
portance." The "chain of connection" for the ten groups consists
of about twenty men, three of whom are members of the Arm of
.. r.. Morgan 4 Co, which, as the commissioner says, is "the domi
nant interest" in the General Electric Company. All this vast
corporate network is the creation of the last three or four years.
And the great watefpower sites of the country, with their enor-
nous potentialties of wealth, constitute only part of the natural
riches belonging to the nation that this combination Ia reaching
out for. But for Clifford Pnchot the vast deposits of coal In
Alaska would now be under it's control and Alaska would be closed
to any other enterprise. Nor is the public wealth in Alaska as yet
safe from this predatory combination, which aims at private for
tunes beside which the wealth of Rockefeller and Carnegie would
look like modest completeness.

A GREAT NATIONAL WRONG.

TEOOD EXPERT WILEY's statement OF the reasons that led
Ii him 20 offer his resignation must make a profound impress
sion on the public mind. It is an Indictment of the Taft
administration that goes right TO the convictions of the people and
appeals powerfully 10 their sense of wrong. Dr.. Wiley resigns
because he feels he cannot serve the American people surrounded,
as he has been in the department, by men hostile to the pure food
laws, who have hampered and restricted his work until his aotiyi
ties occupied q very narrow field. Instructed by Secretary Wilson
z refrain from stating in any public way my own opinion regard
ing the effect of these substances upon the public health" explains
Or. Wiley, he was interfered with in his academic speech "fn
matters relating directly to the public welfare" The attempt tn
oust the food expert by Secretary Wilson, Attorney MeCabe and
Attorney General Wickersham was foned only by a popular up
rising. Mr.. Taft did not dare do what he was expected TO do and
would have done without any inquiry--dismiss Wiley. 1t was not
80 much the injustice and indignity to DIR. Wiley rs it was a sense
of the public danger that brought out that outburst of Indignant
public sentiment before which the President quaned. And that
sense o danger must be aroused anew by DR.. Wieys resignation
under such circumstances. He leaves his post to the enemies of
pure food because he can no longer have any power 10 arve the
people. He can neither act in their interest nor warn them of
per1is IN their food and drink. And these enemies of pure food
we're placed in the department and are maintained there by Presi
dent Taft.
