Plankinton, s.. D.-To purchase
a large portion of a school section in
Hopper township, Aurora county, is
the purpose of Plankinton's citizens
to be worked out through the city
council of that town. There is a
large tract on the school section
which can be converted into a fine
lake and with the addition of trees
a fine summer resort is to be the re-
suit. A petit on is being circulated
to present to the city council to pur-
chase the land, and then sell a or
ton OF it to help pay the expense
of making the park. The land can
be bought of the state for the min
imum price per acre, $40. and then
sold at an advanced price sufficient
to cover all expenses, or nearly so.
The state will sell the land in the
course of a few days and there is
an understanding that the land will
be sold at the minimum price. A
petition bearing 200 names will be
presented to the city council asking
it to make the purchase of the land,
and the deal completed work is to
commence on converting the place
into a public park. An effort has
been made for several years to get
possession of this land and make it
of use to the public.

But, waving the question of the
guilt OF the packers in this case,
their organization and their wealth
constitute a real menac to the con-
Stunning public. AS they have been
developing, it will not be many years
until the people will be compelled to
pay them tribute for much of their
food, just as the serfs of Europe once
did to the barons.
The hands of the trusts must be
forced away from the American din

ton of the outcome.
The acquittal of the packers has
not given them license to go on as
they have gone on in the past.

Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine.

From the Daily Crowley Signal.
When the United States Govern
ment. in view Of the revolutionary
conditions in Mexico, gave notice to
all the American citizens residing in
the sister republic and being engaged
! in business there with millions OF
dollars Of property at stake, that their
Only chance OF safety was to quit the
country, abandoning their invest
ments or leaving them in the care OF
the United States COnsulS, it publicly
advertised to the world that It's cjtiz-
ems and their property abroad could
expect no protection from the great
nation of which they were sons and
daughters, says the Picayuue.
There was nothing unusual in this
action by the government, for it has
always been the rule in every such
case in all other countries, where
American citizens were exposed to
loss Of life and property, either
through revolutionary disturbances
or the ordinary course OF events. But
there has to come to light the some
what startling fact, that European ma
tions, so far from deserving their SUBJ
jects in Mexico, are preparing to de-
teud them, and the French republic
has already dispatched the arm0red
cruiser DescarteS to Vera Cruz to de-
fend her citizens, and other nations
are reported to be taking like action.
1t goes to show how little orr boast |
