PEACE AGREEMENT LASTED A
CENTURY


In his Pocatello speech, President
Taft stated that the proposed treaty
for settling differences between sew
al natl ms by arbitration, is being
held up by the committee on foreign
relations in the United States senate,
That they do mot wish to enter into
an agreement that must be adhered
to in cases where vital interests or
national honor are at stake. Under
those conditions they want this ma
ton, and OF course the others to the
agreement, to have the privilege Of
resorting to arms. President Taft
wants the treaty made SO that under
no conditions can we, or the others,
resort to the sword, and he gave some
apt illustrations to show that WRONGS
are not righted by war, except as In.
nation in the right has the pe,ter
| fighting machinery. And the nation
that wins by: force of arms, does so
at such a sacrifice that it might bet
ter have lost.
Our senate committee consists OF
Cullom of Illinois, Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, Smith of Michigan, Root O.
New York, McCumber of North Da~
kota, Shively of Indiana, Clark of
Arkansas, Rayner of Maryland and
Hitchcock of Nebraska. 1t is doubt
full if more than three are in favor
of making the treaty. Root, Cullom
and Clark, and the other five stanc
out for the privilege of resorting to
the old barbarous methods.
1t is in point at this time to con.
slider the happy conditions existing
between England and this country in
regard to the policing of the Great
Lakes, under a treaty made almost
century ago.
During all the French and Indian
wars, the American Revolution and
the War of 1912, the Great Lakes
and the St. Lawrence river and the
forts along their shores constituted a
battle ground and a source of anxiety
to both Sides After the close of the
War of 1872 the two countries took
up the troublesome question, of forti-
| fications and fleets for these waters,
and it was concluded that no matter
HOW 6lCdI q HCCI -Uu0 COuHJly uldlu-
tanned there, the other country would
match it. Neither side would gain
any advantage, and war dogs kept
in fighting trim are only too apt
to be turned loose
If neither side fortified or provided
any fighting men, there would be stu
pendous economic advantage for both
countries, and no disadvantage excep;
that crime along the border could no,
be kept down SO we'll Then it was
proposed to simply police the border
country and the lakes, and that nel-
ther country should maintain an
armed fighting force. This agree
ment was made, and through all the
vexations that have threatened war
between the two countries, there ha,
never been any occasion to violate it.
The saving to the two countries has
been beyond estimate, and the prin-
ciple and the conditions involved hero
ought to be extended to other waters
and other shores.

LATEST AS TO THE MAINE

The latest Indications revealing
how the battleship Maine was wreck
ed, bear out the decision of the Amer
lean court of inquiry acting at the
time. and the statement made to Cap
tain Sigsby by the sentinel at the head
of the stairway moment after the
explosion, when he saluted his COM
mander and sad, "Sir, have the
honor to inform you that the Maine
has been blown up"
The position of the keel and heavy
deck plating in the ruins could only
have been gained by an external force
applied under the vessel.

EDITOR HILDRETH'S REPLY

! We announced last week that Edi-
tor Hildreth of the Soda Springs
Chieftain had promised us something,
and as we had said he had acted the
part of an advocate rather than the
part of an editor in the local option
campaign, we decided that he would
undertake to prove by his reply that
he possessed the qualifications and
talents of an editor That he would
attempt to show by clear reasoning
and by the use of clean English, ex ;
pressed with proper dignity, that
he is entitled to be classed as
a disciple of Horace Greeley and
Henry Watterson and others who
have taken advanced views and
held them until the people came
| to respect his opinions and ac-
knowledge him their leader in
thought. But instead of doing that
he has confirmed our former belief,
by an attempt to show, not that he

grand stand to repeat and that Is
what he did, hitting to deep left n
scoring Wilson, Sherer went out on a
fly to Dutchko, and the badly wreck

the fierce inning was ended. Mitchell

ten scores.
In the seventh Aberdeen made two
scores on errors. Graves went out
at first by Sherer, and McGeorge hit
another to Sherer, who lined 1t

each inning. Bowers and Graves
scored on hits to the field. In the
ninth Dutchko hit to center field and
stretched it into a three Dagger,
scoring on Fishbach's hit to right.
Osgood sent one out to Lewis, which
he dropped on a hard try, and later
Fishbach scored on Ports out.
Mitchell scored in the sixth inning.
BY that time Dutchko had his mon

THE PRIMARY SYSTEM.

It has been only a few years since
the first primary election system was
put into use. It's advent was oppos-
ed most vehemently by professional
politicians and by those who were in
a position to profit from legislative
favors. Notwithstanding this oppo-
;sition, the primary has now been
adopted in no less than twenty-nine
states Of the union. This is no less
than remarkable, considering the
short time that has elapsed.
This is perhaps the best evidence
in recent years that has been given
of the fact that the institutions of
American government do respond to
the popular will. The trouble is not
that the people. cannot have their
way when they are sufficiently
aroused, but that they are not arous-
ed frequently enough. They are too
indifferent to governmental evils IN
til their hold has been fastened firm
".
No one in South Dakota would
think of running for governor on any
platform suggesting even the posi-
bility of repeating the primary cleo
ton law in this state. 1t may have
its effects, but even with them. it
is better than a system that yields
SO readily to the domination of
few men.

LANDED FIRST GAME
WITH A BIG SCORE
ABERDEEN PROVED EASY PICK
ING FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT
CROWD WATCHED GAME
MAYOR STARTED 1T.

The baseball season of the South
Dakota League was laid wide open
Monday afternoon by a glorious vic
tory over Aberdeen-and the score
was IA to z.
In the afternoon an hour before
the game started both teams and the
Mitchell band marched from the
corn palace down through Main
street to First Avenue. where the
procession broke up and the bunch
hiked out to the ball park. They
were followed thither by some crowd
too-1,100 people were packed, in
the grand stand, around the ropes
and in autos ond carriages, strung
clear out into the field territory.
The teams went on to the ground
for their work out before the game,
and the crowd had a little opportu-
nifty to see the display of pepper
that is scattered in the two teams.
Fungo hits to the field were father
ed in easily, and infield hits were
shot over to first. and this all
brought the enthusiasm up to the
boiling point for the start of the
game. In the meantime the band
stationed in the grand stand poured
forth some sweet melody.
Mite ell people responded to the
request for a big crowd and she was
there, and in fact was the largest
seen at a ball game in ten years,

flee, and he denied having received
any money from it. This year when
1.-The truth became known, Cox was in
dfcted for committing perjury in
l1906. Cox at first disappeared when
1.-THE officers sought for him, but he
gave himself up later. He finally sue
lceeded in getting a change of venue,
isending the case before Judge Dick
Ison. OF course it was a mere coinci-
|dence that Dickson had been placed
on the bench by Cox himself. And,
of course, Dickson found the neces-
sary authority for quashing the in
idictments against Cox, and setting
him free.
If judges continue putting their OBJ
iligations to corrupt politicians above
1.-THE u of justice itself, they can
blame only themselves if the peo-
pie presently begin an assault upon
the judiciary. The public simply will
not allow special privilege to voice
itself from the bench. Such, decis-
lions as those of Petit and Dickson
are particularly effective, , because
both prevented, an inquiry as to the
facts. If Tilden were innocent of
any part in the Lorimer bribery how
could he be harmed by showing his
books to prove that he was innocent?
II Boss Cox is innocent of the charge
of perjury, why shouldn't he be al
lowed to prove his innocence before
a jury? But in any event, both
judges should have declined to act in
these cases because of their person
al. interest in them.
These two judges have done more
than. to favor these two individuals
in passing upon questions of law.
They have gone so far as to keep
them from being tried. They have
thus entirely stifled the voice of jus
,,tice. 1t would be distinct pleasure
to recall such men from the bench.
