be a general roll call, when those who
have 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
lean political tie unbroken. United,
glorious and peaceful, with undimmed
vision and with mistaken faith In
their primary principles, the Ameri-
can people are one In heart and one
IN spirit in their purpose to have the
illustrious ideals Of the nation made
increasingly glorious for the blessing
Of mankind.
1t Is easy enough after a 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 a terrible waste Of life and
treasure. Grant that within the de-
vices Of political expediency these
~preventions were 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
W 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 If the purging was drastic
and the throes suffered by the war
ring elements brought 1t staggering
to its knees, was not the cleansing
complete? The nation stands today
the stronger and the sweeter for that
conflict. For 1t was not merely the
quarrelsome distemper Of war that az
hicted the people, but a score Of dis
eases; not human slavery alone, but
factional jealousy, greed, selfishness.
state disagreement and federal
abuses. How vastly these have been
eliminated can be appreciated only
by a study Of the injustices Of that
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 70 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. II any soldiers stood
in the trenches unmindful of the sig
niicance 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 hat conflict. The nation
was being bled Of It's distempers, sven
through his veins. And 1t rose up,
weakened and saddened, but with the
courage OF the victor and the resolu.
ton of the chastened.

Frauds Attract Attention.

Pierre.-Deputy State Auditor Muir
ply has been in Pennington county on
the hearings on charges of conspiracy
to defraud, which have been brought
against county officials and others al
legged to be connected with wolf
bounty frauds in that county. The
cases will be brought for trial in the
two counties in the Hills where the
parties live, but it is possible that
some Of the cha, ges may be filed in
Hughes county, at the place where the
money was secured. But that is a
matter which will be determined by
the progress of the trials in the courts,
ne action having been taken in that
direction as yet.

iconoclast will ever arise who viii
seek to tear down the monuments Of
the men who nodded the worlds des-
tinies, using the blood Of the battle
field as the cement for their construct
I've efforts.
Indeed, It Is conceivable that the day
may come when there can no mor be
opportunity for military distinction.
but this very fact will increase the
glory ct the ages Of heroism. Then
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 moderated by any change Of ideas
as to the utility of warfare. Hence
the tribute paid the dead heroes Of
the nations strife will be a less trib-
ute than any to follow, Cor every year
the need Of praise and the warmth Of
encomium will be increased, as the
widening vista Of the past lends addi-
tional enchantment to the theme. The
time will come when every part of the
nation, without disparagement to the
men who fought on the other side,
will unite In acclaiming the men who
preserved the nation and made 1t the
mighty leader in all movements for
the peace and honor of mankind.
War may be all that it has been
painted and It's horrors cannot be too
gravely set forth, but there Is a pro-
found religion In the warfare that re-
constructs a nation, that reestablishes
Justice, that sets men free and liber-
ates the intellect from shackles that
fetter progressive thought and pro-
hibit the full expression Of progress
sive conduct. The south is blossom
ing today In its national fervor and
industries TEEN throughout It's do
main. The north is clasping hands
with all other sections In the nov
ment of the American brotherhood to-
ward the highest pinnacle of lofty eth
les and serviceable achievement. The
organ roll Of American sentiment Is
heard with deep and resonant melody.
All the nations of the earth are learn
ing from the united American state,
the great federated people of the
American republic, the righteousness
that exalteth a nation. American
statesmen, American educators, Amer
lean theologians-all have done
nightly toward giving this country
It's 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
manship and the type OF American
sentiment that have caused the re-
public to be looked UP to by the peo-
pie Of Europe and Asia as the moral
mentor and the efficient ideal for all
of them. The work Of the men who
are honored upon Decoration day Is
not concluded, will eve be-. Their
souls move majestically onward with
the movement Of the race, Of the age,
Of the universe. Some day there Will

Aency Of mankind is to seek to have
the fame Of the great one 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
b 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
Aoarse. while the herald's 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 tho far-of prophecy that
swords shall be turned into plow-
shares and spears into pruning hooks,
It is we'll to lay emphasis upon tho

Poison Cut Worms Saws SEVERN.

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 a%rsenite, using one
pound Of poison to so gallons of water.
The clover OF alfalfa is then moved
and spread In little heaps all over the
field infested with cutworms, prefer
ably before the corn, potatoes or
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 a mixture
OF " pound of Paris green, or a sim
iliar amount Of white arsenic with
rs to IS pounds Of dry wheat bran, a
quart Of cheap molasses diluted with
two or three gallons of water. This
bait should be scattered owe the
fields in little heaps as near evening
as possible. In the garden place a
tablespoonful of this MARTIAL 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

que, 200 enthusiastic delegates as
sembled In Watertown and formed the

league, representing nine counties in
the northeastern part Of South Dak0-
Il.
Owing to the unavoidable absense Of
e. G. Issenhuth. Of Redfield, father
Of the good roads movement in South
Dakota, who was to have delivered the
principal address of the evening ses-
sion, H. was decided to conclude all
business in the afternoon and abandon

The delegates, as guests Of the Water
.own Commercial club, ended the days
work in social intercourse, following a
6 o'clock banquet.
Betterment of agricultural condi-
tons 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
ize 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. e. 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
cilitaties for getting their crop to
market.

Gregory.-The discovery OF the
kaolin mine In Trip 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 Trip
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
a 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 i'm
ported from Europe.
