CITIZENSHIP

The country is not suffering from
bad citizens. No country ever suffer-
ID from such. Our country is suffer-
ing from the bad citizenship of good
citizens. Communities, states, and ma
ions have no better government than
the negligent citizen produces. The re-
sponsibility for bad government rests
upon the negligent citizen, the absen-
tee from the ballot box, and the man
who is lodging his civic duty.
The business man and the banker
use every possible means to escape
jury duty. They are traitors to good
government. You hear business and
professional men say that they are not
interested in politics; that they are
not politicians. Then they are unde-
sirable citizens. They are responsible
for all the errors in government and
corruption in office. 1t is impossible
for a taxpayer, home owner, an hon
est man to stay out of politics. II he
stays out of politics, he is a traitor to
government, an enemy to his home
and he is burden to all the other tax
payers. Because Of his neglect to per-
form his duty, he increases the taxes
of all the people.
What is politics? 1t is the science
of government. The science Of good
government. Then every man, wo-
man, and child ought to be forced to
study the science of government. And
every man ought to be a practical
common sense. persistent. courageous
everlasting politician. When men gel
so pious, so good, and so busy that
they cannot afford to perform their

Methodist Church News

The New Year has opened up for
the church with spirit of good
cheer and wishes. 1t is the impress
sion of our people that this year
will be a good one. We are out for
harmony where ever harmony will
aid the cause of humankind.
Last Tuesday night the young
folks of the Presbyterian church
as guests of the young folks of
the Methodist church enjoyed a
roller skating party. After spnd-
ing several hours of real fun and
clean fun, all returned to the lib
rary rooms in the basement of the
NJ. L. Church and played games,
pulled candy and ate popped corn.
In unison and harmony there is
strength and if these two groups
Of young folks could be won for
the cause of right and character,
they could make the rougher ele-
ment of Philip ashamed Of some
things that are done IN public.
Now if the parents of these fine
snaps and lassies would get their
heads and hearts together and
stand by us, to our face and at our
backs, we might help the parents
raise a generation that brings Gre
dit to community.

THE SIDEWALKS OF PHILIP

Since the recent snowfall, we
have heard considerable comment
on the conditions of the sidewalks
in Philip, and it does not seem al
together right that these condi-
lions should exist. Certainly, shov-
cling snow off sidewalk is not a
very lengthy or laborous operation
and they should be kept clean il
for no other reason than the i'm
provement in the appearance Of
the city. 1t should be the duty Of
every property owner and citizen
to help keep up the good appear
ance of Philip and we know of no
better way to start than by keep
ing the sidewalks free of snow

THE STATE ROAD FROM
FT. PIERRE TO PHILIP

There has been much discussion
in Haakon and Stanley counties
during recent years concerning a
road along Bad River, first con-
Meeting Fort Pierre and Midland,
and then Philip and Midland. As
the proposed road paralleled in a
measure the Black and yellow
Trail, by way Of Hayes. and OF
tumwa there has been much warm
discussion over the proposed Bad
River road.
AT recent meeting of the State
Highway Commission, motion
was made by Commissioner c. N.
Leedom Of Kadoka, designating. as
a State Highway, the Bad River
road lying between Fort Pierre
and Midland. This is definite ac-
tion so far as the State Highway
Commission is concerned.
While this road may not be
completed in the immediate fut-
ture, it is the initial step neces-
sary to the establishment of a
graded and graveled road up the
river connecting with the already
designated road running on from
Midland to Philip.
One of the factors influencing
the highway Commissioners in
this road was the pres
ence Of gravel along practically
the entire route with which to
surface the road They may also
decide to run the Black and yell
low Trail out Of Fort Pierre by
way of the cemetery and thence
northwest to the old trail, AS by
doing so they can save the expense
of two roads out of town.

NEW FEDERAL LAWS
JANUARY FIRST

Postmaster Geo. V. Welch calls
our attention to some changes
that will take effect the first of
January. The revenue stamps plac
ed on proprietary medicines, ETC.,
will be suspended and there will
now be no revenue added to parcel
post and express rates. The war
saving and thrift stamps will not
be issued after the above date, but
in their place there will be what
is termed treasury saving certlfi-
Gates. These will be due in five
years, and will bear Az per cent
interest, compounded annually.
Thus you may buy twenty-dollar
certificate and in just five years
it will be redeemed at twenty-five
dollars. Larger sums in proportion
After January 1st, all saving
stamp cards that were not filled
may be redeemed in cash at the
office.

THE NEW SILVER DOLLAR

We have seen none of the new
silver dollars, and we are not sure
when we will, but possibly some
one of our readers will in due time
get hold of one of them. If that
Happens we will be glad to have it
brought in, just to see what it
looks like.
The New Peace Dollar of 1921
was put in circulation on the first
Monday of this New Year by the
treasury at Washington.
Coinage of the new dollar is
being rushed by the Philadelphia
mint, officials said. The first dol
lar of the new series struck off
has been presented to President
Harding.
The new dollar has the head Of
liberty on one side and on the 9th
er a dove upon a mountain top,
clutching an olive branch struck
by the rays of the sun, with the
word peace" beneath it. This is
the first change in theN design of
the dollar since 1878, officials said,
and will remain as the design OF
the dollar for Is years, unless it
is changed by legislation.
About 100000 Of the new dollars
probably will be coined with the
date Of 1921, and after that the
dollar will carry date of the year
in which it is struck off. Efforts
are being made. it was explained
to complete the coinage Of at least
a half million of the new dollars
with the 1921 date in order to
avoid a scarcity of the coin, which
would result in premium being
placed upon them by numismatics
There will be in all about 1870
100000 dollars Of the new design
coined, officials said. Coinage Of
silver dollars ceased in 1904, it was
explained, when the silver pur-
chases authorized by the Sherman
act had been completed, but it was
resumed again in February Of
this year, when the purchase Of
silver was begun under the Pitt
man act, to replace the dollars
melted and sold to the British gov
eminent during the war.

DRILLING AT PLUM CREEK
IS NOW WELL UNDER WAY

T. p, Mcdonald, who has charge
of the drilling operations at the
we'll north of here on the Cherry
Greek structure, was in the fore
part Of the week and informed us
that the actual work of drilling
started Oh last Saturday. The
sixty-fye foot derrick, and other
equipment which the force has
been constructing during the past
several weeks was completed and
the drill started on it's way into
the earth.
Mr.. Mcdonald believes that they
will experience little difficulty in
carrying on the work during the
winter months, and thinks that
with the equipment at hand and
the experienced help that he has
they will have little, if
any trouble, OF course there are
accidents sometimes that will in
terfere and hold up the work for
several weeks at a time, but very
often these are due to carlessness
or inexperienced help.
He hopes to have the work well
along by March first, as it is not
thought that it will require as deep
drilling at this point as has been
estimated for several others of the
west river wells.

BOB YOKUM KILLS A
MAN in SELF DEFENSE

Fifteen years ago, Bob. Yokum,
saloon keeper, etc, etc. was one OF
the characters in Fort Pierre, as
was also his brother, Dave Yokum,
who had at one time been electd,
or near elected sheriff of Stanley
county by the democrats. A great
many of our readers will remem-
Der both Of these worthless.
A dozen years ago they drlfted
on to Kirby, Wyoming, somewhere
near the last frontier. Kirby has
had five killing during the year
1921 and is getting national noter-
iety on that account.
}One of these killings was recent
~ put trough by our recent neigh
Dor, Bob Yokum. The first account
was to the effect that the dcceas-
ed held up a gambling house. Yo-
KUN was somewhere about the
place at that particular time for
some reason or other. 1t was said
that he backed against the wall
and threw up his hands dutifully
along with the rest, but followed
the departing robber to the door
and shot him as he fed down the
street.
As we understand it, Bob was
not arrested, and will not be, for
in any view of the situation there
seems to have been sufficient justi-
fcation for homicide under the
code now in effect at Kirby. Still
the first account Of the killing
did not seem heroic.
What is claimed to be truer
account of the affair is contained
in a letter written by the brother
Dave, to a friend in this county:
Kirby, Wyoming, Dec. s, 1921.
Mr.. F. e. Riley
Dupree, S. ID.
Dear Friend: Well, Frank, l see
in the News that you reprinted
an article from Pierre paper
about Bob killing a bandit. Now
Frank, | wish yin would correct
it and put it just as write it to
you.
Now this man held up the gamb-
ling house, and, as he backed out
Of the house he shot at Bob twice
who grabbed a gun from the poe
ket of the man who stood closest
to him and he fired and hit the
bandit in the left leg and as 1t
turned him around he sent him
another bullet which finished him.
From this you will see that he
acted in self defense and that he
did not run after the fellow as
the Pierre paper had it.
Give my regards to all my friends
in Dupree.
Your Friend,
d. Z. Yokum,
