be a general roll CALL when those who
nave deserved Well of mankind will
pass in the review of the eternal ages,
and the men who did the deeds hon
ored upon Decoration day will not
miss the tribute of the wider effects
of their mission to preserve the Amer
ican political tie unbroken United,
glorious and peaceful, with undimmed
vision and with unshaken faith in
their primary principles, the Ameri-
can people are one in heart and one
In spirit In their purpose to have the
tllustrious Ideals of the nation made
increasingly glorious for the blessing
of mankind
1t is easy enough after war has
been fought to prove the uselessness
of 1T. 1t has often been shown how
the difference between the north and
the south might have been adjusted
with such terrible waste of life and
treasure. Grant that within the de-
vices of political expediency these
preventions We're possible, the fact
still remains that the wars were
fought, that great moral faults were
purged, and the God of battles en-
forced his ancient law of eye for eye
and drop of blood for drop Of blood.
Children are always bearing the
faults of their fathers, and the men
and women of go to '65 poured out
of their own veins and out of their
own souls an equal portion of blood
and misery that their fathers drew
from the veins of an enslaved race.
No moral debts long remain unpaid
What II the purging was drastic
and the throes suffered by the war
ring elements brought it staggering
| to its knees, was not the cleansing
| complete? The nation stands today
the stronger and the sweeter for that
conflict. For it was not merely the
quarrelsome distemper of war that af-
| flicted the people, but score of dis
eases; not human slavery alone, but
| factional Jealousy, greed, selfishness,
state misgovernment and federal
i abuses. How vastly these have been
eliminated can be appreciated only
| by study of the 1niustices of that
i ante-bellum period. The nation in
that memorable struggle was expected
by cynical observers in Europe to
crumble and fall. But these observers
failed utterly to grasp the Significance
OF the struggle that was being fought
for national purity and national unity
Instead OF perceiving a giant rending
himself, as they thought they were
watching a giant wrestling with the
evil that was within him.
AS the day of that conflict ever re-
cedes, and the din grows less stri-
dent to the ear, its better significance
makes itself felt. The broad page of
history teaches a lesson that partici-
patton in the actual war itself might
not have taught. If any soldiers stood
in the trenches unmindful of the sig
nificance of the struggles in which he
was a part, he Is not unmindful now
as he measures his step to the beat of
the muffled drum today. For time has
shown all wherein lay the universal
meaning OF that conflict The nation
was being bled Of it's distempers, even
through his veins. And it rose up,
weakened and saddened, but with the
courage Of the victor and the resolu-
ton of the chastened

Indeed, it is conceivable that the day
may come when there can no more be

the nation will look back to the deeds
of the heroes who saved the Union,
and they will be honored as living in
an age, the majesty of which cannot
be underrated by any change of ideas
as to the utility of warfare. Hence
the tribute paid the dead heroes Of
the nations strife will be q less trib-
ute than any to follow, for every year
the need of praise and the warmth Of

nation without disparagement to the
men who fought on the other side,
will unite In acclaiming the men who
preserved the nation and made it the

the peace and honor of mankind
War may be all that it has been

gravely set forth, but there is pro-

All the nations Of the earth are learn

statesmen, American educators, Amer

nightly toward giving this country
its position OF prestige in the realm
Of world affairs, its reputation for pro-
bity and honesty, But the men who
gave their lives for the nation made
all this possible. They exalted an
ideal that has placed upon the Ameri-
can people the destiny of necessity to
support every oppressed people and to
uplift the standard of freedom and
moral right. Out from the furnace
of the war came the gold of American
ideals, out from the blood and strife
came the type of American states

one or another walk of life The ten
dency of mankind is to seek to have
the fame of the great ones equal in
duration with their bestowing upon
their fellow-men There is one day
for the American people that stands
alone In solitary grandeur, separated
In the high flights of glory that en-
circle 1t. isolated, yet majestic, in the
pathos which will ever attend its
celebration. That day is Decoration
day. In these times, when the peace
pipes are as soundful as the pipes of
Pan, when the bugle is becoming
hoarse, while the heralds trumpet
announces general arbitration treaties
to the ends of the earth, in these
times, when the progress of mankind
appears TO be set toward the fulfill
ment of the far-off prophecy that
swords shall be turned into plow-
shares and spears into pruning hooks,
it is Well to lay emphasis upon the
day that has the most distinctive
glory of any peculiarly American
holiday The glory of Decoration day
is that it holds in national hallowing
the mighty deeds of brave men. Their
deeds will be immortal, who fought
not because they had spleen toward
their brethren-now united in the
bonds of common home, endeavor
and destiny-but because they saw a
shattered nation wrecked upon the
shoals of sectionalism. They will be
immortal because the tendency OF
mankind is to have the fame of the
doers of great deeds conterminous
with the benefits conferred. The ben
efits will be everlasting and augment
ing, so that Decoration day, far from
last Of the soldiers of the nation shall
have passed away. will have even
more honor paid it. The growth of
the nation, the working out of it's
destiny, the recession of sectionalism,
the magnifying Of the incidents of ma
tiona1 progress and national purpose
these are all factors in the march
of progress that shall forever make
hallowed the day sanctified by mem
ories of the blood Of the nations de
tenders. Sad, indeed, the occasion
for fratricidal strife, but the working
out of the national issues from the
glorious battlefelds of the nation
In its great domestic contest make
even the pathos of the warfare elo-
quent with brotherhood. unity and a
common devotion.
The time may come when war will
be regarded as barbarism outright,
when the closeness of the nations and
the identical interests of the powers
will be such as to obviate warfare
when the tribunals will exist for the
support of all international causes
I, without recourse to war. But the
time can never come when the laurels
Of the warrior will be dimmed. Nc

Kaolin Claims staked Out.

Gregory.-The discovery of the
kaolin mine in Tripp county at first
failed to awake any very great deal of
enthusiasm from the residents of this
territory. Nearly everyone viewed
with suspicion the announcement of
this discovery But since they have
had time to fully realize the value of
these mines. the land in the vicinity
of the first filing has been eagerly
snapped up by the residents of Tripp
county, and there is very little of the
hills left that show the least signs
of containing he mineral Placer
claims have been staked out and the
fortunate claimholders are now impa-
tiently waiting for the time when they
can work their claims. There is but
one other mine of this kind in the
United States, that being located in
Florida, consequently there is quite
a demand for the mineral. Most of it
now used in the United States is inn
ported from Europe.

Poison Cut Worms Says severin.


Brookings.-"Give the cutworms
poisoned bait" says Professor H. c.
SEVERN, of the State college, in an
swering inquiries regarding methods
of handling the cutworm pest which
is threatening in many parts of South
Dakota this spring. One method is
to poison clover or alfalfa with Paris
green or other arsenite, using one
pound of poison to so gallons of water
The clover or alfalfa is then moved
and spread in little heaps al! over the
field infested with cutworms, prefer
ably before the corn, potatoes CT
other crops have appeared above the
ground. The cutworms will, OF course.
be forced to eat the poisoned bait,
to their own destruction Professor
SEVERN also recommends & mixture
of u pound of Paris green, or a sim
iliar amount of white arsenic with
25 to 80 pounds of dry wheat bran, a
quart of cheap molasses diluted with
two or three gallons of water. This
bait should be scattered over the
fields in little heaps as near evening
as possible. In the garden place a
tablespoonful of this matrial at the
base of each plant. Professor Sever
in estimates that ten pounds of the
mash will suffice for one acre of po-
tatoes. Further information regard
ing the treatment of insect pests and
other troublesome features in farming
may be obtained by inquiry from the
State college at Brookings.

Owing TO the unavoidable absense of
Il. G. lssenhuth, of Redfield, father
OF the good roads movement in South

work in social Intercourse, following a

Betterment of agricultural condi-
tions and good roads were the princi-
pal topics discussed at the afternoon
session. Professor Hume spoke at
length on soil and crops, adjuring the
league that it must work for more
intense cultivation of the soil to real
1ze the best results. To secure resto-
ration of soil fertility he said that
farmers must devote more attention
to leguminous crops, and to crop ro-
tation. E. L. Kneedy and G. w. Case
urged upon the league the import
ance OF good roads work and the profit
that will accrue to them to better ia

Bryan observers profess today to see

According to the Harmon figures.
eight votes from Ohio are positively as
