OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN COUNTY
AND VILLAGE OF WASHBURN
FRIDAY, JUNE 26,1908.
There a few precincts to be
heard from yet but it is not tho't
that it will change the result given
on the front page. The ticket has
been cut up more this year than
ever before and it cannot be said
that any precinct went strongly for
the McKenzie gang as predicted.
The Leader is of the same opin
ion as the McClusky Gazette when
it stated that it takes some people
a long time to find out that if they
mind their business instead of try
ing to keep tab on everybody else's,
that it is a great pleasure to live
and how much pleasanter it is to
go and visit a neighbor who con
verses upon the good things they
know about their neighbors, than
to listen to them tell all the petty
troubles they heard their neigh
bor had with Mr. So-and So-. Now
anyone who can sit and listen to
that kind of rot is no better than
the party who is doing the talking
and you can bet your life that as
soon as your back is turned you
will receive the same dose, and
besides receive credit for all the
slander circulated in the vicinity
for the last six months—honorable
credit, isn't it. And so easily got
ten, all you have to do is listen.
Said a well known business man
to us the other day, says an ex
change It would not hurt you to
occasionally mention our business
in the jjaper. "It would help to
fill up you know." Yes, we might
do it. We haven't the least idea on
earth that it would hurt us, and it
would as he suggests, help to fill
up. We might do all this, bat at
the same time thank God, we do
not have to do it unless we feel
like it. It would not hurt him
neither, to come around and say:
"Give me a column or a halt col
umn of space for advertisement,
and here is the money for it." By
doing this he would become a de
serter to that grand army of dead
heads who expect the newspapers
to continually note the improve
ments they make, by giving them
free puffs, and for which they nev
er pay a cent. It is high time for
all classes to learn that a newspap
er is a business enterprise, the
same as a dry goods store or a
grocery, run for a living for its
owner.
Apropos of a "Sane Fourth/'
About every one in Washburn is
planning on spending the Fourth
in Underwood. There will be
amusements galore and also enough
noise—if the $1,000 worth of fire
works are let off.
According to the Forum, the
day will be everything but fittingly
"There are the usual protests
against making Decoration Day
an event for sports and also
against noisy Fourths. The for
mer is a day usually regarded with
more, sacredness than the Fourth
of July—though if either was cel
ebrated with the proper spirit
there would not be the demonstra
tions that usually prevail. Many
people advocate the changing of
Decoration Day to the last Sunday
in May and making the occasion a

striotly religious observance. This
would seem to be more in keeping
with the event which it commem
orates. The trouble is that most
people make the day a holiday for
picnics, athletic meets, excursions
and other affairs—entirely losing
sight of its real object.
Some of the same objections are
inade to the form of the celebra
tions of the Fourth. The day is
meant to commemorate the birth
of the nation. It was a serious
solemn occasion for the small band
of noble patriots who took the
initial steps that led to the inde
pendence of this country and to
the establishment of the United
St&tes. Strictly speaking, there
should be a. more sacred sentiment
than usually prevails in the ob­
mmm
servance of this day—but games,
excursions and other forms of
amusements are far less out of
place than on Decoration Day
when the annual tribute is being
paid to the dead heroes who fell in
battle while bravely struggling to
preserve the integrity of the coun
try.
Protests against the conversion
of the Fourth into a day of horrible
din and license, into orgies and
dissipation are heard on every
side—and endorsed, at least, by
the nervous people.
Benedict Banner.
Engineer Sheldrick and assist
ants completed their work on the
Benedict townsite Saturday, and
left Monday for Douglas to plat
an addition,
F. W. Larson was at Washburn
the first of the week and secured
his final citizen's papers. His
witnesses were John Skon and
Chas. Esping.
Since Benedict was made a pre
paid freight station, the trains are
delayed here uearly every day from
15 to 30 minutes, while the crew
unloads local freight.
In our opinion, the McClusky
Gazette "takes the cake" as the
best booster for its home town in
McLean county.
