rights. The right TO search private houses
on warrant IS as old as the law Itself
Fhey knew that they are not telling the
truth when they try to make you believe
that these men in Darlington We're de
feeding their liberties.

go as an arm Of the law and You must
treat the people With consideration, but if
you are ordered to shoot you must do it,
Or anarchy will prevail in tie state"

RIVER improvements.
Yankton Press and Dakotan: One
OF the results Of the battle royal
waged by South Dakota's senior
senator in behalf OF his state is that
Sioux City has been legally located
at the upper end of the lower Mis-
souri,. There is much more profit
in the latter position than in the for
e For river improvements pur-
pose the Missouri is divided into
upper and lower. Formerly the
dividing line was the south boundary
Of Sioux City, and under that ar.
rangement it happened that Sioux
City absorbed about all the appro.
priation for the upper river. The
dividing line is now The north bound
airy Of Sioux City, which attaches
it to the lever river for improvement
purposes. AS a result there is very
little money left for Sioux City after
the big cities below have been salts
fed. Sioux City influence sought a
reservation Of the old arrangement.
Senator Pettigrew prevented the
contamination OF the scheme. and it
is for this that lie is hauled over the
Goals by the Journals Washington
correspondent.
South Dakotans will quite general
ly conclude that their senior senator
is laboring sagaciously and effectively
for their river interests in destroying,
60 far as is possible, the Sioux City
monopoly of improvement appro-
priations.
