BY the state department at Wash

man proclamation of a coming block.
ade IF British, French and Belgian

North sea from the north, via the
Shetland islands, along the eastern
part of the North sea and a strip
thirty miles wide along the coast OF
Holland. Ships cat approach the

The selection of neutral waters is
rather favorable to the commerce OF
the Baltic coast towns of Germany
and of Russia, if ships can get by the
Gordon between the entrance to the
Baltic and the Russian ports.
Great Britain and France will be
under rigorous submarine blockade
as Germany does not intend to use
any of it's above water craft in en-
forcing its proclamation.

THE NEW FRONTIER

Historians tell us that what we
now call western civilization, as diff
ferentlated from that of the orient,
began somewhere about 1000 or 5000
years ago probably in the valley of
the Euphrates, and, moving westward
sometimes slowly, sometimes more
rapidly, has now encircled the land
portion of the globe by reaching the
shores of the Pacific.
Where will be the frontier of the
future? With both poles discovered
and neither of them particularly COM

FARM PRODUCTS TO ADVANCE

One does not need to be endowed
with an inspired mind to be able to
say that the price of farm products
will be high for the next few years.
Conditions in Europe make this a
certainty and one cannot tell how
long continued will be the stress OF
high values for food
The agricultural population OF
Europe will be greatly lessened by
the casualties Of war and vast armies
will desolate the farming regions SO
that it will take time to recover
There will be an active demand for
all that South Dakota can produce
and it cannot begin to attain that it
possible under right conditions from
its tillable area. Intensive and scien-
tific farming would increase the yield
without adding to the working force,
would give to each farmer more than
will come to him by following the old
methods
There should therefore be legisla-
tive encouragement, of those asking
for public money to improve farming
possibilities.

AGAINST FARM INSTITUTES

Hyde County News: Lecturing to
farmers is catching it at the legisla-
ture. The legislature from Stanley
county said that young men just out
of college were getting 5000 per month
and telling farmers how to farm and
the women no better cooks than his
wife were getting $40 day telling
farmers wives how to cook, and he
thought some of those posing were
wolves IN Sleeps clothing. Some
other member thought it was better
to furnish farmers with good farm
paper which was better than all the
lecturing. Swanson of Brown county
said it was only the sidewalk farm
ers who attended the farmers in
stitutes

NOT YET REPEALED

From subsequent proceedings it ap-
pears that the bill abolishing capital
punishment in South Dakota has not
become law. Both the senate and
the house passed Identical bills, one
a house bill and the other senate
bill, but both have not passed the
same bill.
Some of the affirmative members of
the legislature are now repenting and
are inclined to go against the bill
they formerly favored and it is pos
sible that the privilege of hanging
for murder will still remain in South
Dakota.
1t does not make much difference
whether the measure is enacted or
not. With the degree of punishment
left to the Judgment of juries, capital
punishment is seldom resorted to
and when it is, the cases are extrem e
ones, in which the life tenure is for
feited.

A GERMAN BLOCKADE

Huron Huronite: An emergency is
about to arise that will test the
patience of the United States, though
it ought not to impair its discretion.
Germany has issued proclamation
declaring the existence of a blockade
of the coast of the British islands, to
begin on the 18Th inst.
1t is not believed that Germany can
begin to enforce the blockade, though
it can undoubtedly shoot down ships
that attempt to enter British ports
and it is as likely to fire on the
American flag as on the flag of other
nations. The proclamation has been
formally served on our government.
international regulations recognize
the propriety of blockade of the
coast ola belligerent by the ships of
another belligerent and command
respect for it.
During the civil war the United
States maintained blockade of the
coast of the southern states and yes
sells passing the blockading ships did
so at the risk of capture or destruc-
tion. Many ships were sunk in main
tanning the blockade and it lasted for
several years.
England at the time was most ac-
tive outside enemy of the United
States, but it was not known to
whimper when its ships were sent be-
low. While it is now endeavoring
to excite the United States to the
point of resistance of the German
blockade, it cannot consistently make
the effort.
Now is the time for Great Britain
to make good its claim that it is mis-
tress of the sea. 1t will have to call
from their hiding places the great
vessels of its enormous navy and in
terpose them as a shield against Ger
man aggressiveness.

RUSH OF BILLS ON

A bill prepared by the state anti

house tuesday afternoon, which has
Tor It's provisions, the closer limitations
oi the powers of druggists in the han
ding OF Intoxicating liquors. Some of
the requirements of the act prohibit
any druggist in the state from selling
liquor except by physicians prescrip-
ton, or an affidavit of the purchaser as
to the use to which it is to be put. No
sale can be made under any other regu-
latlons, and only one sale on any one
prescription or affidavit.
The legislative Investigating COM
mlttee is busy these days, and will be
kept busy to get their work finished
by the fortieth day, on which the res
olutlon creating them requires them
to report. That would limit them to
this week, but if they find anything
which they feel warrants further in
vestigation, their time will no doubt
be extended
The end of this week closes the time
for Introduction OF general bills in the
n ouse under a resolution adopted early
in the session, and the indications are
hat there will be more bills presented
IN the days yet open than for twice the
SAME time SO far in the session. OF
course the way will be open for com
mlttee bills, but the committees them
selves appear to be loathe to push any
more legislation than necessary for the
session, and the man who gets COM
mlttee to present a BILL will have to
show most Of them that there is an ab.

MEXICO IS FAR GONE

Both of the alleged presidents of the
alleged republic of Mexico are repud-
iating the capital location of the
country and are setting up capitals of
their own at places that may be con-
sidered safer in a physical sense.
Carranza is moving his records to
Vera Cruz and Villa announces that
his capital will be at Aguiscalientes
which is about 300 miles northwest of
Mexico City. while Vera Cruz is a
couple of hundred miles to the east
and south of Mexico City.
The conventions provisional presi-
dent, Rogue Ganzslez Cara, has
shifted his allegiance from Villa and
gone away from the capital with
Zapata, who is not now on terms with
Villa.
General Villa says he has been
compelled to assume the presidency
that there may be responsible head
for the faction for which he is fight
ing and his past conduct warrants
the belief that he has had no ambi-
tion for the position.
Mexico is in infinitely worse situ-
alton than it wac when the United
States evacuated Vera Cruz and it is
getting deeper and deeper into the
mire of anarchy as time goes on. The
resources of the country are becom
ing exhausted and hunger stalks
abroad in the land.
