sion mobilization must have begun long
before the war. This superiority puts
the Austrian and German armies on
the defensive but this fully answers the
strategical requirements which demand
that the enemy in the east be kept in
check SO that they can afford no effec-
tive help to the enemy on the western
scene of war. This strategy has SO far
been carried out with satisfactory re-
suits, and the victory reported by the
Grand duke in such glowing terms has
not produced perceptible change in the
situation in Poland. On the other hand
London reports which, as matter OF
course, are not likely to oyerrate Ger
man successes admit that the lines oi
the Allies are weakening from the un-
remitting and fierce assaults OF the Ger
mans. A collapse OF the enemy is
therefor in sight, and it is inevitable
from the fact that Russia can do moth
ing to relieve the tremendous pressure
on the lines Of the Allies in France.
ROBERT BACON, former Secretary
OF State and until recently ambassador
to Paris, issues a statement, in which
he says that In violating the neutrality
OF Belgium, Germany broke a treaty
which she had made with the United
States when she signed articles i ana z
of the Hague conference which stipulates
that the territory of neutral powers
shall be inviolate. Mr.. Bacon is very
indignant thar our administration has
not entered protest against this
breach OF treaty. He seems TO have for
gotten his lessons in International law
since he returned to private life. 1t
is therefor proper for us to teach him
that protests are entered by govern
ment only on matters in which a country
is directly concerned, and not on mat
tiers which have very remote interest.
Moreover Mr.. Bacon should have known,
III nc were HVt no tHtlftis uiaoreu ~ "''
preference for the Allies that there are
two sides to the issue he raises, in that
there is documentary evidence to prove
that Belgium has herself, through an
agreement with England, consented to
violate her neutrality. But since Mr..
Bacon is in protesting mood, we
would direct his attention to outrageous
violations Of our neutral rights that
work the greatest injury to the com
merce of the United States and con-
stitute gross offence to our national
honor. Ships flying the American flag
and bound for neutral countries are
captured by English cruisers, and neut-
raj ships carrying American goods to
neutral countries are taken before
English prize courts, without shadow
Of right. n Mr.. Bacon is the lofty
patriot he pretsnds to be let him raise
his voice for the protection of American
rights in whieh we have direct and
most important concern,

DAIRY. CATTLE
ARE HELD UP
STATE LAW REQUIRES TESTING
"a, OF. IMPORTED .STOCK.--
COWS SHOULD BE IN. .

Pierre, S. D.-Cattle shippers who
are bringing cattle into the; state, es-
pecially for dairy or breeding pur-
poses will save time and trouble if
they secure proper inspection before
shipment. AT the present time three
cars of. Texas heifers are being held
near Midland, and thirty-seven cars
of the same class of stock at .Wasta,
pending inspection.
The cattle are allowed to be rang
ed near those places until veterinary
inspection can be provided for adj
ministration of the tuberculin tests
as required by the South Dakota live
stock sanitary law for female cattle
not SO treated prior to their being
brought into the state. These cattle
will be released as soon as they can
be tested by veterinarians, provided
by the state board, and are found to
be healthy and not affected. There
is some delay to allow the cattle time
to rest and insure normal tempera-
Tture, and eliminate shipping fever,
after which tho tests will be made.
There has been some complaint of
this delay from the shippers and
commission men, but the test is in
sisted upon for female stock before
they eans&be placed ION the range in
this state. 49, '7rs.e tsfs0ttibi,e

FARMERS TALK
100000 DITCH
CLAY AND YANlxTON COUNTIES
MAY UNDERTAKE BIG
PROJECT.

Vermillion. S. D.-Preliminary
steps in connection with the construc-
ton of a proposed drainage ditch
which is estimated to cost about
$3.50, 900 will be taken at a joint
meeting Of the members of the
board of county commissioners of
Clay and Yankton counties, to be
held May &c. 1t is expected that not
less than one hundred and fifty
farmers from the region to be trav-
ersed by the proposed canal will be
present, some to favor the project
and others to protest against its
construction.
1t Is said that those opposed to
the project will present figures show
Ing that the construction of the pros
posed ditch will damage their farms
to the aggregate of not less than
$500, 900. II, is reported that the
farmers who are opposed to the con-
struction of the ditch have engaged
some OF the leading attorneys OF the
state to be present and set forth the
reasons why they do not wish the
ditch constructed.
If the commissioners of the two
counties decide to have the ditch
constructed it will be one of the
greatest undertakings of its kind In
eastern South Dakota and will re
claim several thousand acres OF
valuable farm land which heretofore
has not been suitable for the raising
OF crops because 1t has been too wet,

DICAMENT.

Washington, d. ca working
majority of the Senate went home
the other night in a fever of appre-
hension and at once, commenced to
read up on the premonitory symp-
toms OF, the measles. The minority
remembered that they had had the
disease and were.comparatively hap
ply. s
In his capacity, as booster-in-or-
binary for the Tolls Repeal bill, SEN
ator Simmons had spent an arduous
day Monday .buttonholing his col
leagues. He came into close con-
tact with them all and whispered his
arguments into their faces. They
inhaled the breath of his eloquence.
Senator Simmons Wednesday had
a sharp fever, but he kept a going
until he talked with all his fellow
Senators. This morning when he
appeared on the floor his face was
the color of a July sunset on the Po-
tomac, and he said his entire body
had blossomed out in ten million red
speckles. After a short stay he went
home and submitted to an examina-
ton.
Presently word came to the Senate
from Mrs. Simmons that her hus-
band had developed measles.

Lennon, s. D.-By the majority
of 23 votes, the electors of Lennon
yesterday declared in favor of a sa-
loon to.he operated under the Sisse-

interesting, in view. of the rejection
of the plan by the people OF Sisseton

The plan as adopted is that an
individual shall take out a licensc,
or if no individual is DESTROYS OF SO
doing, a body of three or-five mon

This individual or corporation will
give to a membership society of Lem

officers of this body, to be called the
Lennon Civic Improvement associa-
ton, will appoint the manager and
all the employees of saloon; will take

VACATION TIME
OFTEN CURSE
SAYS CITY SUPERINTENDENT IN
ADDRESS LAST EVENING UP
ON MITCHELL'S SCHOOLS.

Addressing the Congregational
Brotherhood meeting Wednesday
evening, Snpt. j. w. McClinton spoke
for "a half hour concerning the Nit
chell public schools. their work and
aims. 17tf r. h.'" -H."l ~
His remarks embraced three
phases Of the subject,-the moral,
the business and the educational.
These three elements" said Supt.
iMcClinton, ARE wrapped up in a
school system" e
ut is the business of the school
to cooperate with religious organi-
cations for the purpose of instilling
reverence in the pupil for religious
institutions and to develop the best
type of manhood and womanhood. In
our schools / would like to see pre-
dominate the same spirit which
|characterizes the work in all religious
organizations.
"The schools should be conducted
upon sound business principles. Bus
mess precepts should be instilled in
every student. 1t is a small matter
what the boy or girl gets out of the
textbook today or tomorrow, but it
is of the utmost Importance as to
what ideals he or she gains. Hon
est business ideals should feature our
entire. school system"
Speaking of the educational phase
Supt. McClinton said, "That school
is serving the community best, not
which turns out the largest gradual
ing class but the highest type of citi-
zenship. The school is a vital factor
in the life of the community. and the
standard of the one is raised or low
cred to the level of the standard of
the other. t a
THE organization of play is as es-
s~ential as the organization of work,
in The development ,of the pupil.
The school administration of the city
is trying to do two things-to ac-
complish everything through the
spirit of play and to direct properly
the energies of the children. 1t is
toward this end that such features as
summer garden work have been in
kstalled. Vacation time is a curse to
public school pupils. The theory
that the child needs three months Of
vacation after nine months of school
is folly"
Tho speaker stated that he would
HIKE W Sue lHe. freshman CLASS kept
out of the high school a little long
or, that its members usually were not
sufficiently developed to use much
of the elaborate equipment of the
high school, that, in his opinion, the
most pronounced development of the
pupil occurred in the second and third
years of high school work. and that
if the transition between the grades
and the high school should be made
one year later the result would be to
eliminate a large number of failures
common to the first year OF high
school, to reduce the expense of high
school. p3intepapce land to-, solve
many perble&fng problems in %connec-
tom with she. high school.
Shpt. McClinton vigorously defend
ed the ungraded work of the city
schools, declaring that by means of
1t failures had been reduced to the
minimum number. Itsi
Quoting from a report of the Am
erican Book Co., he showed that in
i comparison with Sioux Falls, Aber.
deem, Lead and WATERFOWL, Mitchell
ranked third in the number. of teach
ers employed in the schools, fifth as
to school expenditure and fifth as te
the cost per pupil.
