MeMASTER MEETS
LARGE CROWDS
J. H. Fryberger, Otto Sharon,
Harold Gilchrist, Barney McNally,
and Neil Rounds drove to Murdo
Monday afternoon to hear Gov,
McMaster give one of his cam-
paign speeches in the evening.
At Belvidere they were joined by
Fred Barth,
The governor took a strong
stand against tne rich mens Mel-
lon tax law. He r.poke warmly for
the soldier bonus. The gasoline
barons fared not so well at his
hands. Freight rate discrimina-
tions were strongly condemned.
The state executive lauded the
congressional farm block and
said he would join it if elected.
As a fitting climax Mac dramati-
cally warned his hearers that in |
his opinion for a long time to
come no governor w'ould venture to ,
oppose the big three, tho Standard
Oil Co., the Coal Trust, and the i
Railroads if they succeeded in j
their nlans to defeat him for the
office he so justly seeks. j
Voters would do well to carefully !
weight this statement and then
act accordingly if “Under God the *
People Rule” is to continue to be
our state motto.
The governor will be in Kadoka ;
on his next western campaign j
trip.
GROUNDS FOR CONFIDENCE
The action of President Coolidge
and the War Finance corporation
in bringing federal credit to the
aid of the banks of the northwest
should and does carry* confidence :
to the people of this section that j
the financial foundations of their
industry will • not be allowed to
crumble but will be essentially
i>iovided for until the present
crisis is safely past.
According to present day re-
sources the northwest is emphati-
cally able to take care of itself;
as much so, fully, as other sections
of the country. But the condi-
tions of its business life have made
it peculiarly the victim of the past
few* years of excess investment.
It is supported almost entirely by
farm and stock interests, with
few large industrial enterprises
to offset the losses which have fall-
en so heavily on these lines of pro-
duction everywhere. And at the
same time it is engaged in what is
vital to the nations life and inter-
est. It is entitled to government
backing for the brief time that
will be necessary' and there is no
reproach in the fact that it is
necessary.
With this support given, there
is no reason for further apprehen-
sion in this state. Our crops have ,
been unexcelled; our future is
bright* our resources* are not
mythical or watered values-- they
exist in the actual producing pow-
er of our land and the opportun-
ity for development which make
this state, and particularly the
western half of it, the most orom-
ising agricultural opportunity in
the United States today. We have ,
everything to reassure us and
nothing to fear for the future—-
except the consequence of our own
fear!
This western count w; s con-
quered by courage and opiimi-m.
It must and will be ruL'jviced by
the same traits of s ling citi-
zenship. —Hot Spring; St: r.
LATEST MOONSHINE F.ECIPIE 1
One of our inquisitive reporters i
has delved into the secret formulas
of the up-to-the-minute moon- 1
shiner and unearthed the following
ingredients for the manufacture
of the most costly and talked <
about cocktail that inventive,
genet of the enemies of the Sah-
ara amendment have so success- j
fully succeeded in manufacturing
We pass it on to Press readers and
hope that they will keep it for
themselves and meditate upon it
prayerfully. Here it is:
A few hours after the sun has
lissed the western horizon tak< !
three or four chorus girls and mix
well with as many men and soak
the mixture thoroughly until a few
hours after midnight. Squeeze
well into the cushions of a highpowered automobile. Add a dash
of joy and one drunken chauffuer.
Shake the whole well and verve
fresh at 40 to 75 miles per hour
and you have the very latest cor-
oners cocktail.

i ODD FELLOWS APPLY
I; THE GOLDEN RULEj One of the bright spots of thej Odd Fellow lodge is the one which

IVKLL-DRILLER
’’
MAKES GOOD
1 [ In tho congressional directory
! Senator Peter Norbeek describes
his occupation modestly and truth-
"
fully as that of a “well-driller ”
, Modesty has been the character
. istic (»f the Junior Senaio* fu •
.
, !i B.ii.oia -ince his smiva in
> "shiijgton. He managed to gel
apooiiited a memlier of the Gom-
‘
mittee on Agriculture of the Sen-
' ate, possibly by reason of the fact
that agriculture is the chief indus-
-1 j try of his state. At the present
,! time he has a bill which bears his
, j name well on its way through con-jgress, which provides for financial
assistance from the Government
in bringing about diversified farm-
ing in the wheat growing states,
and for other purposes.
To the surprise, probably, of a
food many neople President Cnol-idge in a special message to Con-
gress a few days ago made Sena-
tor Norbeck's bill the basis of his
relief measures recommended f<Sr
the Northwest. This insures the
early passage of the bill, which
carries an appropriation of fifty
million dollars to Ik* administeredby the Secretary of Agriculture.
The effect of this enabling the
wheat* farmers to turn to more di-
versified farming by government
assistance is not to be estimated
now. Its passage places Senator
I Norbeek at once in the front nink
of northwestern members of the1 Senate. This is no little |»ersonal
triumph in view of the fact that
!'\ is well known that all the sled-din' - has not been ea*--'' since he
w,en* to Washington. The people| of IL.* ?«ato should see that Seni-

A VOTER’S PROTEST
_ A few nights ago at Tyndall a1 farmer, Mr. Bowman, suapectinghog theives might come along,
! went out to keep watch. Accord-
ingly along came trucks. They
gagged Mr. Bowman and tied hint
to a post. Then the thieves tookfourteen of his best hogs away.
At 5:00 o’clock A. M. Mrs. Bowman,
wondering whv her husbai d didn't
conic to the house, was shockedito find him tied to n post. Some[world we are living in at this age.
; Awful as it mUy seem, this is no
worse than our political politi-

, j»'r to cut off the rights of thej W'l voters by attempting to
make it aptv»ar they must signi cards pledging themselves to sur\-

POISON RATT PROVES TOO
MUCH FOR WILY COYOTE
A brief gl-'nce at the records ofCounty Auditor, Miss Dithmer
I prove that tlie hardiest of pre<la
tory prairie animals is fighting
, his last and losing game.
1 Last year Washjibaugh County1 rwid out bounty on coyotes,
while at lh(; same t>eriod JacksonCountv received proof of the kill-
! ing of 198 wolves.
It appears now only a question of
! • coir*»arativelv short time whenI the chareteristic howl of the dc-|strutive nrairic roamer will l»e Imt
; a reminiscence of the old timer.
The federal government has our
: hunters after his pelt, who salar-ied as they are.must use the gov-
ernment formula for bait which1 calls for a stomach poison and acts
w.ithin twenty minutes to an hour.
Private hunters have a differentformula for their bait. Then,
most effective way of getting the-
valuable pelt is a mouth bait. If1 skillfully prepared the coyote will
: eat it and within one to four min-
utes he is on his way to tho para-
dise of his fathers. In well pro-
tected recesses of the Bad land*,
wolves have had a comparatively
safe refuge. Poison bait however,
gets the he.-t of him until extinc-
tion seems near at hand much to
, the joy of the farmer and rancher.

of political “hash” the ingredi-
ents of which are concocted at

, Press is fortunate in having a class
of readers possessed of good com-
mon sense and who are able to do
some thinking of their own. The
Fr< ss believes tint fads will talk
oiuler to our readers than bombas-
I it* shouting of the professional
i Politician, whose only aim is to
“get the vote” for his man.
The Press has studied the na-
tional issue carefully and finds
Coolidge a splendid legislator, a :
good governor of Massachusetts. j
a trusted vice president and a
member rf the Harding cabinet, j
As president he has proved his;
! good oualitiev as a safe and saneI executive. When South Dakota
I needed aid he responded. When
I her governor called on him to aidjin tKrt 'msoline fight, he immodi- 1i etely <’id what was expected of him

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE
RETURNS AGAIN
Travelers from the east tell of
snow-bound towns, broken down
telephone lines and a deep layer
of snow everywhere. The storm
two weeks ago just grazed us and
brought a little of the fluffy white
material. However old sol has
quickly dispatched it oceanward
and continues to smile gracefully
upon Western South Dakota.
Roads are excellent and but here
, and there is a speck of mud or
; snow* to be found. Travelers
from the west however sa** that
- the footing is not so good from
, the Cheyenne river towards Rapid
• City where mud and snow alter-
nate.
SENATOR STERLING WOULD
REDUCE POSTAGE RATES
Believing that the primary func-
tionof the postoffice is to furnish
first class service to letter mail
without profit, Senator Sterling
of South Dakota, Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Post Offices
I tnd Post Roads, has introduced a
bill to reduce the rate on drop lct-
o «. This fill if ena"ted r.to lew
v. iil fix a rate of 1 cent j*w ounce
on all letters intended for delivery
within the delivery jurisdiction of
any post office where mailed.
This will include not only city car-j rier service but rural routes and
; star routes as well. Senator Ster-
; ling has found that tho profit to
the government in handling local
i letters is tremendous at the ex-
isting rates of 2 cents. History
shows that every reduction in let-
ter postage has not only served i
i to greatly increase the use of thej service but to increase the re-
venue. This was true when the
peneral rate on letters was reduced
from 3 to 2 cents in the early
eighties. More recently when the
war tax was removed and the old
. 2 cent rate was restored the re-I venue exceeded those collected at
the 3 cent rate by more than 1 7 pol-
ecat during the first three months.
WANBLEE ITEMS

Washahaugh County Reading Cir-

as well also ine date of the orator-
ical contest and field meet.
