Revised figures Of the census
department show that the decrease
in population il this state since
1910 is only 1922.

In commenting on the import
ance of the submarines in the ma
val warfare of Europe the Mitchell
Republican recognizes in this meth
cd Of warfare an adequate method
of protecting this country against
foreign invasion. But it says:
"The United States should have
made up q diplomatic record that
would have reserved for itself the
right to demand later a revision Of
International laws"
We fail to see anything in the
diplomatic record of this country
that will ever interfere with any
able revision of naval war;
fare. We have made no protests
against honorable submarine war
fare. Our only objection was to
the sinking of unarmed merchant
vessels without warming, and such
warfare can never be made honora
BILE, no matter how the naval laws
may be revised. The sinking of a
merchant ship with it's cargo of
passengers without warning is no
better than for an army to march
thru an enemy country and ruth.
lessly murder the civilian popula-
tlon, and this no civilized nation
would think of doing. Until this
country lapses into state of bar
barism we can not conceive of any
conditions that would warrant this
country in sanc!ioning, much
less in demanding" change in
naval laws that would legalize the
deliberate sinking of merchant YES !
sells loaded with defenseless pas
sengers. Such an act might be
made legal it could never be made
honorable.

Great Attractions AT The

Hutchinson County Fair
There are very few fairs that
are self sustaining, but the one at
Tripp has been. The principal
reason is that they put up great
line of free acts each year and ths
races are always good. This year
they have engaged nine free acts,
including an eighty foot balloon
with a lady aeronaut who will 60
very high before cutting loose.
rrapeze performers, jugglers, &C
robats, comedians and a great as.
sortment of fun makers will be
there. The products Of field an d
garden, needle work by the best
fancy sewers. household products,
bakery goods etc. A fine ex-
hibit from the State College at
Brookings, most of the thorough
bred herds in the county, the best
of livestock and poultry and all
the fast steppers in this section
will be there. Four ball games
for large purses and three or more
of the best hands in the state. En-
tertainment on the streets while
you wait. Merry go-rounds and
amusements for the youngsters.
Three days, Sept. l, 2 and s,
| crowded full of interesting, anus
ling and educational events Fun
and frolic galore. Can you afford
to miss it2 You cannot. Lets all
go. The tractor plowing demon
stratlon will be worth the money
to every farmer seeing it.

The quarantine condition in the
Chicago stock yards is having the
effect of increasing shipments to
the Missouri river markets. Nine
ty cars of stock were received at
Sioux City Monday. The feeder
grades are not allowed to he ship
ped out of Chicago, and conse-
quently cattle of that grade are all
marketed at the western yards.
This regulation also has its effect
upon shipments of fat cattle.
Some of the western states will
not allo.7 sheep or cattle to enter
that have passed through Illinois
on railroad.

The recent ruling of the state
banking department governing de-
posits of state banks may have q
good purpose, but it is difficult to
understand how that purpose is to
be accomplished by the ruling. It
provides that state banks must
keep at least so per cent of the
amount shown to be due from their
repositories, deposited in state
banks within the state. Special
provisions however, are made for
state banks in citiea designated as
reserve cities, these being Sioux
Falls. Aberdeen, Mitchell, Huron,
Pierre Rapid City, Brookings,
Yankton and Watertown. The
result will be that these deposits
will land in the reserve cities and
the banks in these cities will take
advantage Of their special privi-
leges and send the money to the
large reserve centers. 80 the money
will eventually leave the state just
as it has under the old system.
The only apparent result will be
to curtail the privileges of state
banks in smaller towns. The
natural tendency is for surplus de-
posits to seek the call loan centers
where interest can be secured on
daily balances. As there are no
such centers in South Dakota the
money must go outside Of the state
or be hoarded in the state banks.
If it is necessary to hoard il the
local banks will have to reduce the
rate of interest on time deposits,
and we fail to see how the general
public would be benefited by such
q move.

There are 1881 voters in this

There are l69, ,519 voters in this
state according to the recent cen.
sus figures, although at the last
election only 99,504 votes we're
polled. The foreign born residents
number only 1855 Of the popula-
tion as compared with 34M in
1880, but over rs per cent are of
foreign extraction. Only 3,136

Roman Catholics have 76,769;

The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1915-08-26

The fact that 76eS Of the popu-
lation Of South Dakota is Of foreign
extraction counts for little. Il is
the sentiment Of the individual
that counts for good citizenship.
If he believes in universal justice
and opportunity to all, is intelli-
gent and believes in the popular
form of government he will make
a good citizen, no matter where be
was born or to what nationality he
belongs. If he believes that might
makes right and that ths end JUS
titles the means he can never
make good American citizens.

Money for Bridge

In order not to delay the Cobra
 do bridge at Needles and Topock
 the supervisors of San Benardino
 county have advanced the DOT
 tion to be raised by California, $35. GOO. Twenty-Five thousand of this will be returned by the state when the appropriation
 money can be legally reached.
 The bridge will cost $85, 900. the government putting up $25, = 900, Arizona $25, ,000, the State California S25, 900 and the Coun- ty of San Bernardino $10, ,O0O. This is glorious news for Mohave county, as that river has always been a serious missing Ink in the Old Trails route. With that bridge in place, the chain will be endless and smooth as a bill iard table from ocean to ocean. . Our Mineral Wealth, Kingman.

Many offers of relief have been received. We need relief. but 1t is not immediate relief. for we have food in plenty and are able to temporarily care for those of our number who lost their homes. But, at the same time, many of our Spanish Americans whose homes were washed down were poor people and they need help to rebuild and refurnish. Our farmers were aleady in debt for the Ly- man reservoir and dam and the1r only hope of ever paying out now lies Tn rebuilding the dam at an early date, and that will take at least a hundred thousand dollars capital. If it is not re- built, and that right away, bank ruptcy awaits the entire com munity. Woodruff has food and clothing for immediate relief but thls is the eleventh time that those poor people have lost their diversion dam, and three times it has been because of our reser- voir breaks. The people of Hunt need relief, for they were al ready heavily involved, and must go deeper in debt to rebuild their Udall dam. We need capital to assist us in rebuilding, we must have it. We must find 1t. and then we can recover. Of adver- sity we of St. Johns have had more than our share. but no one is giving up. It only asks fnan- cial aid, and it is wiling to re- pay that.

 The supervisors ot every coun- ty in the state have been asked to send representatives to the conference, and all county en- gineers have been invited to attend. The state engineer will be present, and a representative of Bureau of Good Roads of the United States government will attend.
 The Arizona Good Roads asso- citation is composed of prominent men throughout the state. The officers are: Dwight B. Heard, president; John J. Bowen, vice president; Harry Welch, secre- tary, and w. s. Humbert, trea- surer. w. H. Clark, of Hol- brook. is one of the directors of the association.

Total direct loss..... ..$186, 600. OO

Total direct loss..... ..$166, 600. 0O
 The indirect loss depends on ] so many contingencies that it is hard to estimate. but this seems a fair, though low, estimate:
 Crop loss at St. Johns $6O, GOO. 66 Crop loss at Meadows. 5000. % Crop loss at Hunt, ,..... 100000 Crop loss at Woodruff
 or extra cost if pump
 ing is resorted to-. .. 10000. %
 Yet it is safe to say that other direct losses will make the total up to a full hundred thousand, though in event that the Lyman dam were never again built it would reach over half a million.
 But the agriculturalists of this town are well acquainted with adYersity, for they have had thelr
 measure heaped up and running over. The first farms the set tiers developed along the river valley went to alkall and salt grass and almost stopped farm ing here. They built the Salado reservoir in their days of pover- ty to bring their better drained bench lands under cultivation, but ten years ago it went out. They extended their energies out to the lands of Hunt and built the Udall dam, but it has been washed away three times. They tried farming at the mea- dows and have lost two dams there, so that already these hardy toilers have lost agricul- tural property worth half mil lions dollars.
 A good force is now at work on the town ditch and old field ditch which belongs to the St. Johns Irrigation company, so that water will soon be on the old fields and in town. It is a puzzler to know what to do to put water in the Lyman canal and on the bench, for the canal intake is the reservoir gate that stands 20 feet above the river. Pumping and building a high | diversion dam are both proposed. | The chances are Tn favor of con- a high, tight, earth diversion dam.
 The fields of Hunt, the Mead ows and St. Johns are all so wet and muddy that little can be done as yet but as soon as they are dry enough, as much crops will be planted as the natural flow of the river, with last winters heavy snow fall, will supply water for this year.
