(Thanks to the last democratic legis lature Governor-elect Aldrich will ba*e about 600 “jobs” to give out tffljlhln the next three months. &v. -*-♦ With a majority of four in the house and two iu the senate the cominp democratic legislature will not be able to ride rough shod over the minority. The Frontier hopes that our read ers will call during this month and rQnew their subscription and make it possible for us to commence the new year with a clean slate. Who will be the tirst one? South Dakota is now one of the strongest republican states in the upion, according to population. At the recent election the republican state ticket was elected by a majority of over 25,000. Although a democratic landslide swept the country at the recent elec tion old Missouri remained in the republican column. The republican state ticket was elected In that state by a majority of 3,000. When a resident of O’Neill goes after anything in earnest residents of other towns might as well “get from under.’’ This was again demonstrat ed In the recent Norfolk News sub scription contest when one of O’Neill’s fairest ladles walked off with the capitlal prizes as well as the leading speoial prize, and bad over 350,000 votes to spare. Nearly all the present demo cratic heads of state institutions are candidates for reappointment to their present positions at the hands of the governor elect, and nearly all of them allege that they supported him in the recent campaign. Mr* Aldrich will probably soon begin to wonder where the mayor of Omaha received all the votes that were cast for him at the recent election. One of the things greatly needed in this city the ooinlng year is a new holel. What is the matter with the citizens of the city getting together and organizing a hotel company for the erection of a modern hotel In this city. O’Neill citizens have the money and a half dozen of them could get together and build a hotel that would be a credit to the city as well as a paying Investment for the builders. P. L. Orellin, for many years editor of the Plain view Republican and postmaster of thabolty, has purchased thp Page Reporter and assumed editorial control last week. Mr. Orellin Is one of the brightest news paper men In the state and The Fron tier congratulates the people of Page in the addition of such a splendid man as Pan Orellin to their business circles. The Frontier extends the right hand of fellowship and hopes that he will win fame and glory in his new venture. A certain class of newspaper men as sert that a farmer Is the most inde ' pendent man on earth, and that he has nothing to do but to enjoy life. That when winter oomes and the bliz zard's on the wing he toasts his feet In the oven and reads the local news paper and the only thing that dis turbs him is a call three times a day to a banquet of mince pies and other luxuries. It is a mistake. The Indus trious farmer begins work long before the sun thinks of getting up. With his soul shrouded In gloom he proceeds to build a tire and soften his boots with, a sledge hammer. He then takes a lantern and shovels his way to the barn and feeds the bogs. It is then time to feed the newly arrived calf, which seems to delight in butting a pall of milk over the tiller of the soil until he only needs to be stamped to pass for a package of oleomargarine. He crawls through a hardwire fence and digs the hay out of the snow, feeds the cows, cleans Lite Ntable, ga h ers up the frozen chicks, chases a stray pig worth 25 cents for four miles, and does not catch it, doctors a sick horse, freezes his fingers, gets kicked by a one eyed mule, and when the gl.ian - log comes and quietness broods over all the earth, lie has a single half hour to meditate and wonder how he will pay his taxes. Can't Reach Agreement. LincolnJ News: The Newspaper Boys back east apparently cannot get torether on the question of whether Roosevelt has been permanently shelv ed. It will he recalled that they bad the same trouble with Biyan, al though in his case there was a greater approach to unanimity. Mr. Bryan has persistently refused to be buried, and we rather opine that the same perversity will bq displayed in the case of Roosevelt. Speaking of Bryan we note that the newspapers of the east refuse to mention his name, and they decline to give space to what he says about things. This, of course, is all foolishness, because it doesen't hurt the object of their dislike. Roose velt will be back in politics just as soon as tire necessity arises for his get ting there. An Inspection of the re turns in New York do not indicate that the democratic victory there was a rebuke of him. If New York had given as many votes to the democrat iccandldate for governor as Massa chusetts, in proportion to the total number of votes cast, the majority would have been several times as large as it was. The same holds good in respect to the vote in Maine, New Jersey and Connecticut. If Roose velt had'nt thrown the weight of his influence and personality on behalf of the republicans they would have been skinned worse than ever. Republi can defeat there, however, lias releas ed the tongues of a lot of men who don’t like Roosevelt but who didn’t like to say so when he seemed to be riding on the top wave. One hears much more crl* lolsm of him now than ever before, hut it comes largely from a class of men wlio^e love of i lie dollar making game blinds them to the fact that instead of his being the disturber they think be is he has simply been doing his best to make it possible for more men to win than is possible un der the present rules. Mountain Lion in Antelope. Norfolk News: A report has been received on several occasions in this oity during ihe past week, that the farmers in the vicinity of Willow, fourteen miles northeast of Neligh, have a mountain lion in their midst that is killing hogs whenever the opportunity presents. The last report from that vicinity is that the neighborhood is greatly alarmed over the appearance of this vicious animal, and that one farmer oame in sight of the lion as it had partly devoured one of his hogs, but as the farmer was unarmed the ani mal made good his escape. It is stated that several hunting parties have been formed to get rid of the monster, but so far have been un successful, and on these raids not a glimpse has been seen of him. It is thought by thoss in the Wil low neighborhood that the lion had been driven down Into the territory by the late forest tires of Minnesota. The rumor is to the effect that this prowling, hog-ktlling animal has made Its home in that township for the past five or six weeks. Methodist Notes.
