Value of Water Competition.

The government has dealt with
less parsimony in the matter of
improving the navigation of the
Mississippi river this year, but it
should have been even more
liberal. The value of water com
petition is incalculable. 1t is a
regulator of rates. Great freight
handlers, as are the railroads, they
can never monopolize the carrying
trade of the world. Governments
realize this and spend millions in
digging canals. 1t costs four
times as much to move freight by
rail as it does to move it by water.
Canada spent So, 900, 900 to con-
meet the Gulf of ST. Lawrence with
the chain of lakes, but the invest
ment was a good one because this
mighty waterway of the North is
the greatest freight route in the
world. Twice as much freight
goes through Sault Ste. Marie than
through the Suez canal. Eight
vessels go through the American
waterway to the one that goes
through the Suez Germany has
expended vast sums on canals in
late years. England and in fact
all Europe have invested largely
in the same character of highways.
1t is known, of course, that there
are no railroads to speak of in
China aud that all freighting is
done by water. More people pass
through the Detroit river than en-
ter the port of New York, London
or Liverpool. The water traffic of
the world Is stupendous.
Our majestic highway, the Mis-
sissipyi, mas been neglected for
years The war interrupted the
freight carrying on the Misslss p
pi rivrr and the advent or rail
roads diverted the minds of the
people from river traffic. The
rush aud haste WAS STD great that
what ireigbis were tn be moved
must be moved at once ana with
all possible speed.
The products of the great valley
are increasing SO rapidly, and the
flow of surplus seeking tide water
having changed from the North
Atlantic TO New Orleans, it be-
hooves the country to pay more
heed to river NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Sense of Honor.

We were very much impressed
Monday morning with that por
ton of Judge Stevens's charge
which related to the blind tiger.
He declared that the sense of
honor which prevented man from
disclosing the name of the party
who sells him liquor, is false or
distorted st nse of honor; and we
believe that the Judge is eminent
ly correct
The chief duties of man may be
grouped into three classes: Those
toward God. those toward ones
country or government, those
towards ones fellow man. When
either of these duties or trusts is
betrayed, it constitutes a treason
either against God, the govern
ment, or the fellow man; which
treasons may be designated re-
spect!vely as high, secondary, and
tertiary.
Now, when one of our good citi-
zens carried before the grand jury,
all three of these duties are as
binding as any one of them, and
both of the first require him to
betray the whisky seller. And
more than this, whenever this man
fails to turn the evidence against
his fellow man, he betrays his
obligations to the God who made
him and the government that pro-
tects his life and his property. In
other words. our citizen has com
mitted both the high and second
airy treasons in order to keep from
committing the tertiary or lowest
treason. Again, the fact that the
buyer is under oath to the seller
not to turn him up" is no reason
why thar buyer should hesitate TO
testify against the retailer. for
every citizen of Mississippi is al
ready under oath TO uphold her
officers in tn ir execution. At
the same time, even If the witness
considers his obligations TO the
friend aud fellow man as greater
than all Others, he must not lose
sight of the fact that be is jeopar-
dizlng the right and the best in
terests of thousand good citizens
in his efforts TO protect one viola
tor of the law.
Finally, let US emphasize the
fact that because a man is uncom-
promisingly against prohibition is
no reason why he should refuse to
obey or uphold this law which
the majority of his fellow citizens
have voted upon themselves. In
deed. is this distorted sense of
honor with little reason therefor, ,
and we hope and believe all citi-
zens will look at this matter in
this light.-West Point Press.

Too ShreWd for Gates.

II am going to give up being

1t Is Loaded, Governor.

While 1T does not appear alto
gether what it is the insurance
companies desire from the special
session Of the legislature should il
be ordered, it will be apparent to
every one who carefully scrutinizes
the matter that behind it all is the
determined effort to encompass the
repeal the Valued Policy of the
: law altogether. There are shrewd
schemers at the bottom of this
hurra and there is more in it than
appears on the surface. The Re-
view does not believe the people
are going to submit to such action
While in all proba bility needing
some revision, the law is clearly
as a whole in the interest of the
people and its provisions have
worked to the protection of policy
holders as against the expressions
of the companies. All this talk
about the decentralization of bust
ness by the present laws, this
threatened interruption to COM
mercial affairs, is al buncomb and
is used to induce the accomplish
ment of the point desired through
play upon the fears ct the over

Beautify The Cemetery.

Everything is springing into life
and beauty-lowers bloom in sweet
fragrance and everyone should do
something to beautify and make
the Cemetery an attractive place.
Those who sleep in peace have help
ed to keep green the flowers over
the sacred mounds of others. in the
days past and gone, now we should
do the same for them as it will be
but a short time until others will be
called upon to care for the place
where we shall sleep in peace.
We trust that everyone will do
something to add to the beauty of
the silent city of the dead so that
when Decoration Day comes and
the multitude assemb les to strew
the graves with flowers, so that
everyone will feel proud to think
that the graves of our loved depart
ed are so well cared for and the
place made so beautiful. Do not
forget to see that every mound that
marks the last resting place of your
loved departed is rounded up, flow
ers planted and the place put in
keeping with the most pleasant sur
roundings that can be anticipated.

May we not unite our efforts on that

To The Truth-Loving Public.

Wlsh to direct once more the at
tentlon of the fair-minded public to
an article which appeared in The
Journal of the 18th of April under
the above heading. In this article
stated that the gratuitous asser-
tons which the so.called ex-priest
+. a. Seguin attempted to forist on
an intelligent public were utterly
groundless and the mere rawlings of
his own diseased imagination.
Since the publication of my article
l noticed production in the same
paper purporting to be a reply
signed E. C. Whitaker. Now
what l understand by a reply in the
present instance is denial or cor
rectlon OF statements, or rather mis-
statements made in my letter. That
no such reply has been made is ap-
parent to the most ignorant for in
the first place stated (a) That the
propositions announced by P. A.
Seguin were unfounded. (b) That
said statements were, in reality,
leveled at himself though intended
tor the church. (c) That his char
rangue" was an attempt to destroy
the peace of the community. (dl
That the Catholic schools teach, not
only prayers, but the same branch
es OF science taught in the public
schools. (e) That it is neither fair
to large proportion of the citizens
to have their religious convictions
ridiculed and offended, nor one pro-
tossing to be preacher of the Cos
pei of Christ should import or give
the use of his church to such an
unknown quantity as p. A. Seouin.

CERVIT, SOUTH DAKOTA, A pril 20, 'O2.
EDITOR JoURNAL.-Haying prom
ised many of my friends in Audu-
bon county to write and tell my
opinion of the country and say what
saw and so on. being little ner-
vous and a poor scribe at best,) will
send you few lines to decipher-
as you will do that easier than the.
average fellow. Well, to commence,
l am about sixty miles west from
Chamberlain, South Dakota From
there, after you cross the Missouri
river to this place, with the excep-
ton of small town on the Missou-
ri where they have two stores, two
saloons, two banks, three hotels and
no good buildings-looks like de-
serted old mining town-there are
no towns or hamlets along the way.
After leaving there we went up a
hill one.half mile long and FIVE
hundred feet high. rode out with
an ex-minlster of the Norwegian
church and being an ex-minister I
had to make some allowance (but
don't tell Mr.. II. L. Wissler, for we
don't mean hi1n,) and we only saw
two houses the whole distance DUR
ing the sixty miles of travel. Much
Of the land here lies very fine and
people from all parts of the country
are coming here to enter it. Now a
word to the people of Audubon
county about the lands of South
Dakota: There is some good agri-
cultural land but when you come
here to settle take plenty OF time to
look around for there is no land
west of the Missouri river that [
have seen that will pay to farm and
much on the east side that will
starve the rustler as quick as any
where in the United States. The
grass here is of the best quality and
lhe hay made out of alkali grass
fattens stock. l have been riding
and driving horses fed on what
they call alkali hay for eight days
and some of them have never eaten
bite of grain in their lives. Tom
Hartzell has some calves and hors-
es that are in good flesh, and all his
stock is in good shape. He and I
took pair of his horses and, a bug
gy and drove over the Rosebud
Agency and all told we travelled
over one hundred miles, much of
the time we rode fast, too, and the
horses stood the trip we'll. Many
head of horses and cattle died dur
ing the late storm that had no pro-
lection but those that were shelter
ed came through all right. expect
to leave here soon for further north
and if you can read this will write
again. Will say goodbye,
