But one of them spoke when
the senator from Idaho resumed
his seat. All he did was to move
a vote on the question. 1t was
carried, every Senator save
Heyb burn voting in the affirma-

given for the purpose of
indicating that the people of
this country are not in sympa-

unnecessarily open old wounds.
Incidentally Senator Hepburn
acquired extensive advertising.
the newspapers giving him
much uncomplimentary notice.
Ii may have been satisfactory
to him, for, although he Is
probably the most laxative
member Of the senate, his words
seldom get into print outside
that old standby of loquacious
the Congressional Record.
Seriously however, the speech
of Senator Hepburn accom-
plished something. 1t demon
strated 20 the satisfaction of the
majority OF the people that
sectiOnalism is dead and that
the carmine hued garment is so
deeply buried that il cannot
again be successfully Haunted.
IL proved that the new genera
tion loves it's fellow countrymen
that the North is gladly recog-
nizing the vaior of the South,
that the South il sure of the
good will OF the north. And IL
reminded many Of the tributes
which the followers of Lee have
paid 20 the memory of Grant, 10
which the wearers of the blue
have responded by eulogizing
the character and services of
that great soldier and gentle
man OF Virginia, General Robt.

ON LAKES
CAN'T BE

Watertown, S. D.-Farmers own
ing the land surrounding large
sloughs or meandered lakes cannot
combine to stop public hunting and
trapping on such waters, according
to an opinion of Attorney General
Clark submitted yesterday to State
Game Warden w. r. Bancroft. of this
city. The opinion was asked Tor and
handed down in vie wof proposed
prosecutions for %trespass. Owners
of land surrounding several Of the
best duck lakes in the state this sea-
son attempted to charge hunters for
the privilege OF going on the lake.
Some objected and appealed to the
state warden. The attorney general
says that where small sloughs are
surrounded by an ordinary farm they
do not come within the scope of the
law which presumes that the state
controls all waters, and hence are
private property. But all larger
ponds and lakes cannot be closed to
the public provided those who seek
to have sport on them can find access
to them on a public highway.
