The Wibaux pioneer. [volume] (Wibaux, Mont.) 1907-1919, 1913-03-07

President Taft and his cabinet
have retired. President Wilson
and his cabinet have taken con-
troll Of the Government. The
Boy Orator of the Platte, after
sixteen years of strenuous effort,
now holds a cabinet position.
Uncle Joe Cannon, with his clear
Havana, has gone back to the
farm. General Jones and her
suffragette army have made their
first stand for equal suffrage.
The Montana Legislature has
adjourned. The so-called trai-
torous Progressives from Daw-
son county have returned home.
Where last week was Dawson
county now can be seen Wibaux
county, Richland county. and |
the remains of Dawson county
The ownership and editorial staff
Of the Dawson County Review
has changed hands. The news
paper world Of eastern Montana
has been purified by the passing
therefrCm of Parson jim.
What an eventful week. What
series Of historic, events to be
chronicled in so short time.
What wonderful tale it has
told. What pain and suffering
within these few short days has
been endured by our brethern Of
the Gate City. What mental
anguish must have been theirs. 1
With what sublime egotism and |
ignorance did they taunt us poor
Wibauxites. With what adora-
bic pompousness did they strut
and strut and strut, particularly !
about the Chippewa Water Dis
pensary Of the Jordan Hotel and
the Dawson County Club and
peddle their Beautiful Sunshine |
to all advocates Of new counties. |
How they slipped into obscure
and unfrequented places when
confronted with the ''coin Of the |
realm. If the expression mo
ney talks" be true, then Glen
dive surely must be populated |
with a deaf and dumb race and
should receive the heartfelt SYM
pathy of all mankind, including
Sidney and Wibaux.
The Sphynx for centuries has
stood unchanged and unaltered
in all it's magnificience and gran
duer. Hungry Joe remains the
same. The fire smolders in his
side, and the lake, clear as crys-
tai. with its fish still tempts the
unwary. The bridge still spans
the beautiful, muddy. old Yel-
lowstone. Yet Notwithstanding
all this, change has crept over
the Gate City. An unwelcome
guest, a thief in the night, as it
were, has stolen the Golfers of
gold from whence she has often
and anon replenished her needs. /
What. O what has happened
to cause this direful wailing and
gnashing of teeth? The very
Gods must have played false. !
Yet this cannot be, for where all |
this time has been Parson jim?
Then a political intrigue must /
have been formed against Glen
dive, but again it's not possible |
for was not Dynamite Doc and
All Powerful? McCone on the
job? Then what could possibly |
have caused the crash, the catas-

Congratulations

Our own Progressive, who SO
successfully drew the fire from
the Dawson County Progressive
organ, and our Republican. who
refused to betray his party and
vote for the Big Wind at Chicago
and our democratic friend, who
has fought the battle and won
without receiving a scar. These
are the .'Noblest Romans of
them all'' who met the enemy
in open field Of battle and like
the immortal Lawrence wired
We have met the enemy and
they are ours, To them the
taste OF victory must be sweet
but sWeeter and dearer still must
be the appreciation of their
friends and neighbors. To them
the honor Of creating Wibaux
county belongs and to them a
grateful people offer thanks and
praise.
Here's to Organ, Kinney, and
Jordan. May they live to hear
their children's children tell
tales Of the trio who were history
makers.
Attorney Anderson of Glen
dive, spent today in the city
on business. He has the distin-
ction Of being the first Glendive
Attorney to visit the Wihaux
county seat.

YALE WANTS
MORE Time IN
FOOTBALL GAME

New Haven, Feb. 14-sFYa1a will urge
practically the same football rules for
another year said Capt. Henry
Ketcham OF the eleven last evening
when asked about Yale's stand at the
coming conference OF the FHules Com
Inittee in New York city.
Personally, I wish the playing
periods might be heightened to twenty
minutes each. L believe that the
players could easily stand the in
creased length and that the interest
in the game would be corresponding
" increased
Capt Ketcham will advocate the
change at the coming meeting, but
will make 1t clear that Yale is salts
He'd with the present code and will
disparage any attempt at general
overhauling. Walter Camp will be
YaIe's other delegate. He says that
he, too is well pleased at the success
of the present playing code, that he
will urge no radical changes and that
he has heard of no movement from
any source to demand any.

PLAYERS CAN'T ACT
AS BASEBALL SCRIBES

In all probability the national com
mission Will make some rule prior to
the next worlds series, forbidding
players from doing any newspaper
work. 1t would be a good rule from
many angles. It is broadly limited
that much of the present discord in
the ranks of the Giants was started
by the articles purported to have been
written by the different players. About
eight of the Giant players acted as
scribes during the series.
One morning, after a Giant defeat,
practically every article purporting to
have been written by the players
teemed with warm roasts about fellow
players 1t is claimed that several
clashes were narrowly averted over
stories in the papers.
In most cases the players didn't
even know what was being written.
That fact, however, does not excuse
them, as they should never have per
united their names to appear over
story without knowing its contents.
On top Of this the man most affected
is the club owner, the very man who
should not be made to suffer. Discord
always means q poor season.

for the coming season. Where cham

small chance that Princeton will have

that has been massed on the diamond
In seasons past and which has been
sufi Client to crush the advance of the
best college mines in the East.
Some Of the reasons for the cloud
of gloom which has spread over the
Princeton contingent are the loss of
pitchers and only a list of inexperi-
enced boxmen to choose from for this
year, the loss of the best backstops, a
second basenan, shortstop and two
infielders. In addition to this the base
ball schedule, announced yesterday,
provides for several new oppon a
Southern trip which opens the season
and will not give the team an oppor-
tunity of trying itself out on the home
diamond before meeting opponents on
strange fields.

season which has been able to trim

the Tigers star pitcher, this year
through ineligibility rules is perhaps
the greatest setback to the team, al

Sweeney is fast and willing boy

not often enough to make it an inter
