Dr l. s. Rowe, of the University of Pennsylvania, delegate to the Pan American Peace Congress of 1906. delivered. the following address before the third National Peace Conference:
 When one stops to consider the international difficulties which the countries of Latin-America inherited from the colonial period.' he said, 'the credit due them for their stead fast adherence to the principle of in ternationaI arbitration is greatly in creased. The international questions confronting them during the latter l half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth have been far more difficult and delicate than those confronting the countries of Europe and yet with two excep- tions, they have all been adjusted either through direct diplomatic ne gotiations or by means of arbitra | tion."
 The doctor touched on the many puzzling and irritating boundary dis putes which South American natons fell heirs to when they came into freedom, and passed to the crucial instance of the Paraguayan wan when Argentine, Brazil and Uruguay had Paraguay crushed and helpless. For time" he said, ''it looked as if Paraguay would be made the Pc land of South America. If the usual European standards as to rights ac quired by conquest had been applied, Paraguay would today no longer ex- ist on the map as an independent country.
 At the suggestion of the Argentine republic it was agreed by the con quering triple alliance that victory does not carry with it the right to dismemberment, and although Para I quay had been the aggressor in the struggle, the people of the country were not made to suffer because of the ambitions of political dictator.
 The Argentine republic and Uru- quay are today confronted by an in- ternational question so difficult and delicate that it can only be com pared with our own policy with ref erence to the mouth of the Mississ ippi. It is well to remember that neither the government nor the peo pie of the United States would for a moment entertain any compromise with reference to our absolute con trol of the Mississippi. Difficult and dangerous as is the question of the lcontrol of the River Platte, the Ar. genuine and Uruguay are conscienti- ously endeavoring to find a satisfac- tory solution.
 with country of record oi achievement" he concluded, the countries of Latin America enter into the present world situation as an i'm portant factor in sustaining and de yeloping the principle of arbitration and in the maintenance of the worlds peace.s

ATTACK ON
 RECIPROCITY
REPUBLICAN, REFRESHMENTS ARGUES FROM STANDPOINT
 OF THE MANUFACTURER.
Says Democrats Intended 10 Hit the Trusts, but in Reality Were Hit ting the Consumer,
 in America.

Washington, May Not since the republican guns were unlimbered against the democratic free list bill by Minority Leader Mann. over a week ago, has the debate in the house developed such an attack on the meas ure as was made today by Represen- tative Hill of Connecticut a member of the ways and means committee, and one of the republican advocates of the Canadian reciprocity bill.
 MT. Hill declared that the bill de- vised by the democratic leaders, re- moving the tariff dues from many food products and manufactured articles. was so crudely drawn and so indefi- nite in it's terms that it could have no effect on business.
 You intended to hit the trusts. |" said MT. Hill to the democrats. You will wake up to find you have in fact helped the trusts; taken away the revenues of the government and put the money into the pockets of the Trusts instead of into the pockets of the people whom you claim to be helping
 MT. Hill alleged that the interna- tional Harvester Company and great manufacturers would under the bill manufacture parts of their machines cheaply abroad and bring them into
 this country to be assembled by cheap labor here. Mechanics and skill ed labor would suffer loss of employ ment. he said.
 He declared the democratic bill was so general in terms as to admit al most anything free of duty. Woolen goods. all kinds of wire, with all sorts of fabrics, lead, pig iron and mum Der of other things he specially men Itioned.
 Mir. Hill particularly attacked the lbil for making many manufactured Iproducts fee of duty. like shoes, har- ness, saddlery and the like, while leaving duty against the raw mate Trials that American manufacturers have to import. He said also that in lattempting to make free of duty the bagging used to wrap up cotton bales the democratic bill would let in free the bagging used by the fertilizer trust, the cement mills of the United States Steel corporation and by other monopolies which would give no corresponding reduction in prices to consumers.
 Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee, interjected that MT. Hills whole argument was from the standpoint of the American manufacturer.

ernment in the internal affairs of Mexico is case in point. The gov ernment of Mexico is not the govern ment that we would like. But it is the sort of government that the Mex jeans have set up for themselves, and it's forms and facts are not our con cern so long as international obliga- tions are discharged.v
 MT. Slayden referred to Senator Raynor's recent speech in the senate on the Mexican situation in the fol- lowing words:
 Senator Raynor has lately shown Ieloquently and clearly that the Mon roe Doctrine did not make us an agent to collect doubtful loans made by Eureopean usurers. He has indi- cated with scorching wit what be the consequence of plicy that would drive HIS into stock jobbers' and money lenders wars.
 For years we have been trying to remove the suspicion with which the Spanish American views this govern ment and its policies. The hostility that grows out of that suspicion i'm pede the development of international trade. and so it is economically hurt ful The best efforts of the president. acting for all the people, and of wise and just men everywhere are largely neutralized by the thoughtless and wilfully criminal.
 For some time civil war has been raging in Mexico. It is notorious that the insurrectos, so-called, have been equipped from the United States with both men and arms. Everybody has known it, but the agents of the de- partment of justice.
 Indeed it appears that we have done nearly everything possible to arouse the hostility of the mass of the Mexican people and to cause all Spanish Americans to think that we are trying to develop an excuse for intervention and conquest.

StoCkWeu Must Paw

In a lengthy opinion affirming
the lower court the Supreme
court last week handed down a
decision in the case of the State
VS.. w. L. Stockwell, Northern
Trust Company of Fargo, and
United States Fidelity company,
which holds the defendants and
the appellant liable to payment
of S., 598 to the state, as part of
the fund held out by Stockwell
while he was state superinten-
dent of schools.
Stockwell collected SIT. TIA for
teachers certificates fees during
his term and disbursed S. 1916,
retaining the remainder on the
claim that it was a private fund
and not an asset of the state.
An action was started to recover
the amount and Judge Templeton

that the district may get the
greatest good from the least ex-
penditure of it's funds. Granting
that the officers have used good
faith, was it a technical violation
of the law when the school board
let a contract for the main from
the school building of the district
to the plant of the Lennon Elec-
trio Light & Power Company, a
distance of some 600 feet for a
consideration of $1050.00 with
out a sealed bid or any advertise
ment of bids or any competition
whatever in plain disregard of
the letter and spirit of the law
and giving to no other person,
firm or corporation the privilege
of bidding on same? Was this a
TECHNICAL violation of the law
or a violation of a matter of prin-
ciple which goes to the very
heart of the interests of every
taxpayer in the district? The
answer may be different accord
ing to the Interpretation which
shall be placed on the word
Technical" by the writer, but
the taxpayers will reserve the
right to place the ordinary mean
ing on the term.
Further was it a matter of
TECHNICAL violation when the
contract for heating the district
was left to the light plant for a
period of five years, involving
the expenditure of more than
of more than $4,000 annually
and an estimated expense for a
period of five years of some
$4,000. 90, without bid, or any
advertisement or sealed proposals
and without any competition
whatever;-gi giving to no other
person. firm or corporation the
right to bid for this contract.
Was this a technical violation of
the law or was it a violation of a
basic principle of the law? Let
your readers answer.
Further the law says that any
officer authorized to make any
contract in his official capacity
who voluntarily becomes inter
ested individually in such a con-
tract, directly or indirectly is
guilty of misdemeanor. The
law is based on reason and comes
from rather high authority, no
less high than the scriptures

Thanksgiving Proclamation.


wise Providence has again brought
US to that season in which. accord
ing to American custom, a day is
proclaimed and set apart as day
of prayer and praise.
Throughout various sections of
the country, the year that is dy-
ing has been one of unusual drouth
and portions of our state have
been numbered among the suffer
ers. Be that as it may, the causes
for our Thanksgiving are still
manifold.
The temporary cloud of depres-
sion, resultant of the adverse
weather conditions of the past
season, is passing and through its
shadows appears, undimmed and
unfailing, the crystalline star of
constant hope. We yet continue
to enjoy in full measure those
rights and privileges, the way for
the attainment of which was
paved in the long ago by the Pill
grim Fathers, who inaugurated
our National Thanksgiving GUS
tom, and for this our hearts may
we'll be truly grateful.
1t is evident that intellectually
and morally our citizenship has
made marked advancement and
although progress may be slow it
is, nevertheless, sure, and, little
by little, the vital facts Of true
living are being better recog-
nized by our states people.
Therefore, |, K. S. Vessy, Gov
ernor of the State of South Da-
kota. in conjunction with the
proclamation of the President of
the United States, hereby appoint
as Thanksgiving Day,
Thursday, November 80, A. d.
1911, and recommend the day to
the entire citizenship of the state
as one of rest from the usual oc-
cupations and pursuits. to be de-
dicated by South Dakota's people
to thanksgiving and devou t
prayer to Almighty God, in be-
coming appreciation of His mer-
cies and the blessings of peace
and progress received from His
hand throughout the year. For
the contributions of the earth to
our need, for the temperance,
cheerfulness and content Of our
homes, for the maintenance of
the public health, for all these
and other blessings, let US render
thanks to Him, praying that out
of His infinite mercy and good
ness He may continue to lead US
on our way.
In testimony whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
to be affixed the Great Seal of the
State of South Dakota.

luBncation Of
the School Matter.

NJ. Editor:
An editorial appeared in the
sunps of your issue OF Nov. lO,
MI bearing on the heating con-
rst with the school district,
NV under attack in the courts,
rbrh editorial this commune
atiOn is intended to answer. The
rticle states that if the contract
is declared invalid it will be on
tecbpcalities only. If so it is the
writer's desire to point out what
these technicalities are: In the
first place | do not believe that
there is any S ne man wishes to
cause undue hardship to the Light
Company nor discourage capital,
but it is the wish of the taxpay-
g to encourage every legitimate
move of capital and at the same
time protect the public interests
including the interests of the tax
PAYERS of the district. The Light
Company is a public service cor
pration and it is the wish of the
taxpayers and OF every citizen
that this service be continued
Uninterrupted and unimpaired
adat the same time that the
rights Of the public are held Sc
cure and not encroached upon.
The facts are however, that law
Is reason, and determines the
policy of the office of any
public corporation in so far as
the law speaks and outlines a
policy and no man has the right
70 place himself above the ma
lesty Of the law, to disregard it
with lmpunlty or to ignore it.

Tracts and contracts with school
