The Lutheran social at A. L. Full
er's last evening was largely attend
ed and a decided success socially and
otherwise.
A letter from Prof. A. III. Yoder
of this city, now in Worcester,
Mass, states that he has been elect
ed to a position in the San Fran
cisco schools at a salary of $4,000
per year.
Cal Nichols pony left the front
of the Hotel Madison this afternoon
and went careening down Egan ave-
nue. with the empty buggy at her
heels. Many narrow escapes of col
lision were made, but the outfit was
rounded up on the prairie south
of the railroad track without any
damage being tone.
In talking with quite a number
of farmers who were in town today
about the wheat sown early in March
before the second freeze up, we dis
covered that much damage was done
to that seeding and in no instance
could we learn that it would be more
than half a crop and in many cases
not a third, and even less. Many
farmers are reseeding it, some with
wheat, others with flax and some not
at all as yet. All later sown grain
is looking splendidly and the prom
Use of a rich harvest was never bet
ter at this time of the year.

a lawful government--once It had
been resolved to scrutinize revolu-
tions. But indeed it would surely
have been impossible for tragic ro-
nance TO have imagined a character
so ~hideously villainous as Victoriano
Huerta, or a career so completely
justifying the refusal to recognize
him.
"Other powers made no scruples
of giving the assassin usurper i'm
mediate recognition. Very well. The
United States is not a follower of
other powers. 1t is, it has been
from the beginning of it's history, the
moral leader of the world. = = =
1t is the mere fact that great powers
have no conscience-but the United
States has a conscience. We are a
simple people, unable to rid our
selves of a prejudice against murder.
= + + This is hypocrisy, senti-
mentalism, Quixotism, offensive NOR
al superiority, so the British journals
say. No, it is not sentimentalism;
it is plain, sturdy morality, to which,
unfortunately, the foreign politics of
too many other nations are strang-
ers."

Pierre-To honor the name of G..
X. Howard, one of the most noted of
South Dakota pioneer settlers, is the
desire OF residents of eastern PEN
nington county. A movement Is o
under way to get a vote at the cleo
ton this fall on cutting off all that
part of Pennington county east of
the Cheyenne river and creating the
county of Howard. This territory
was originally Washington county
before the old county consolidation
act gave the territory to Pennington
county. G.. X. Howard, now retired
from business and living in Rapid
City, was one OF the pioneer resi-
cents of Sioux Falls, and when that
place began to take on city airs
ed further west and kept up with the
frontier. He is located in Rapid
City and Is enjoying the fruits of his
strenuous life as a Dakota pioneer.

I'm the case of Mexico, judgment
vas easy. The coup d'etat that over
threw Madero in February, 1913,
was in no way a revolution. 1t was
a barracks plot, a conspiracy of a
few army officers, financed by Glen
tificos living in exile and a few
Spanish reactionaries. 1t was at
tended by circumstances of treachery
so execrable, of villainy SO fantas-
tic, of cruelty so barbarous, that the
story is one which the mind has diff
flculty in accepting as credible.
The chief actor, Huerta, an ape
like Indian, decrepit, one-eyed, sub
sisting on brandy, when the mo-
ment of his triumph was fully come,
rose from breakfasting with the
presidents brother, beckoned a file
of soldiers, arrested him, had him
carried away to be shot to death and
his body thrown into a hole; went to
the palace, embraced the president,
whose chief commander he had be-
come through protestations of faith
fulness to death, and signaled the
guards to arrest him. BY promises
of safe conduct out of the country,
the treacherous general obtained the
signatures of President Madero and
Pine SuareZ, vice president, to deeds
of designations; hastily gathered less
| than a quorum of congressman in a
| chamber filled with soldiers and
commanded by artillery; had himself
acknowledged as president; carried
Madero and Pine Suarez out into the
night and had them shot to death
behind the prison.
Perhaps this is enough to sug.
| gest that there could be no question
of recognizing Huerta as the head Of
