81 WILL, IF I CAN"

On his way to New Hampshire, when
relations between Germany and the
United States were fully as strained
ed as now, man in overalls walked up
to President Wilson and said ''Mr. Pres
ldent, keep us out of war" Mr.. Will
son said in reply: Il will. if | can. .
The incident illustrates the democracy
of our institutions. 1T is a great coun-
try where the humblcst citizen of the
land feels free to exchange words with
the president of the United States in an
appeal for the welfare of all, and where
the president, on equal terms, tells the
citizen what he will do, if he can. The
workman who urged the president to
keep out of war, expressed the views
of the vast majority of the American
people. Argus Leader.

AND THERE'S SPY QUESTION

Washington, August 2.-The Wilson
administration is confronted with half
dozen or more grave international prob
lens, any one of which is calculated to
keep the statesmen having to settle them
awake at nights.
The administration troubles now in
clude:
The national defense.
The German American situation.
The Mexican puzzle.
The Hayti revolution.
The charge that Germans are manu-
featuring American passports for spies.
This lat.er charge was the outcome
OF the discovery of a German travelling
on passport that had been issued to an
American. The Americans passport
had bee3 copied and forged, and it is
claimed there are many other American
passports which have been subjected to
the same treatment, the forged pass
ports enabling German spies to travel
in countries where otherwise they could
not secure an entrance.

notified Washington that the time for

audience with any of the German
governmental authorities.
He indicated that he should cease
his efforts in that direction and per-
nit the German government to act
upon the American note at it's pleas
ure. If the United States ambassa-
dor is unable to confer with the gov
ernment at which he represents the

WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS

Huron Huronite: The prevalent of
cases brought for contempt of court
leads one to wonder what is meant by
the constitution of the United States
when it says, section two of article
three:
The trial of all crimes, except in
cases of impeachment, shall be by
jury.
That contempt of court is a crime
is established by the fact that it is
punishable by fine or Imprisonment,
or by both. In the fifth amendment
to the federal constitution it is stated ::
Nor shall (any person) be deprived
of life, liberty or property without
due process OF law.
The sixth amendment to the federal
amendment recites:
In all criminal prosecutions, the
accused shall enjoy the right to a
speedy and public trial, by an i'm
partial jury of the state and district
wherein the CRIME shall have been
committed.

GOVERNMENT LANDS OPENED

Washington, August 2. Daring the
last decade, the Forest service has
classified as agricultural and opened
to public entry more than 15,500 indi :
vidual scattered tracts of land in the
national forests, comprising more
than 1,700, 900 acres. Within the last
two years, in addition, several large
blocks have been eliminated aggre-
eating more than 2,500,O00, while
nearly 2,0O0.o00 acres more are now
under consideration for elm mination.
All the remaining agricultural land
in the national forests is confined
chiefly in isolated tracts scattered
here and there; to restricted areas
requiting irrigation, where water can
not be obtained, and to certain river
bottoms and benches which are not
covered with very heavy and valu-
able timber.

A WEALTH OF SOIL

A writer in the Chicago Herald
rates South Dakota as the wealth lest
state per capita in the union. Th
article says,
with $4,000 farmers who own on
the average of 800 acres and have
property amounting to more than
$4,000 each, South Dakota is the
Wealthiest state per capita.
"Other industries are keeping pace
with the agriculture, and the state in
the last twelve years has produced
more permanent wealth for each in.
habitant than any part of the world.
South Dakota's progress is due to
various causes. The state is favor
ably located as regards climate and
relation to the great markets of the
middle west. 1t contains Is, 900 square
miles and has little waste terri tory.
The area of prairie land produces
fine crops of wheat, corn, alfalfa, etc.
while the hills and mountains are
rich in gold, silver, marble, coal and
timber. AS 8 grazing country it is
unsurpassed, having an unlimited
amount of luxuriant native grasses
and being abundantly watered."

HELP IN OVERTHROW
OF STATE RING
Senator Crawford Not Candidate
For Governor But Would Help
Right Man

The following article from the Dead
wood Pioneer Times refers to distin-
guished citizen of Huron:
A South Dakotan whose business
takes him to all parts of the state was
IN Huron few days ago and met Sena-
tor Coe l. Crawford who has settled
back into the practice of law, and ex-
pressed regret that he gave it up for
the lure of politics. The senator has
been urged to become a republican
candidate for governor next year, but
has refused to consider it. He express
ed willingness. however, to aid in
placing abler and better men in control
of the affairs of the state, which would
mean the overthrow of the 'Pierre or
state house ring"
When the senator lays aside personal
interest and espouses a cause from
purely patriotic motives, he is an ac-
knowledged power. During his ad-
ministration as governor a number of
good and wholesome measures were
placed on the statute. books. HIS ad-
ministration was clean and looms up
like mountain along side of the ad-
mimstration of his successors. He is
one of the big men of the state, what
ever of criticism may have been made
IN the heat of political campaigns. Had
he remained in law practice he would
today have been promoted by the great
railway corporation whose service he
left to enter politics.
When Frank Washabaugh, who was
associated with Judge Moody, was
made Judge of the circuit court,
Judge Moody cast about for a prom
ising young lawyer to relieve him
from the tiresome details of his prac-
tice. He selected Coe L. Crawford,
who was one of the most popular and
likable young men of the state. Mr..
Crawford came to Deadwood. A
telegram from the Chicago head
quarters of the N orthwestern railway
offered him the general attorneyship
of the state for that road. He ac-
cepted, and ordered the return of his
library which had reached Sioux
City. Had he associated himself
with Judge Moody he would doubt
less have succeeded him.
However Senator Crawford is far
from being an object of pity. He has
retired from public life with honor to
himself and to the state, and he still
has enough youth. vigor and ability
to make success in or out of po litics.

BUMBLEBEE SOUVENIRS
FOR THE CHILDREN

The state fair has a hive full of
bum blebee souvenirs which will be
sent free to all South Dakota boys
and girls who ask for them. These
buzzing curiesities cannot sting be-
cause they have no stingers. In fact
they can fly only in circles, not in a
straight line.
Last year the fair gave the children
souvenir jumping horses, for which
hundreds of requests were received
each week. According to Secretary
McIlyaine, the new bumblebee SOU
venirs are far more fun than the
jumping horses. So get busy, boys
and girls, send postal card right
away asking for these buzzers. Just
send your request to G, N. McIlvaine,

FORREST TIMBER FOR
GOVERNMENT ROAD

Washington, August 2.-The Alas
kan Engineering Commission, which
is to build the government railroad
from Seward on the Pacific All miles
to Fairbanks in the interior, has re-
ceived a permit from the Forest Ser
vice to cut S5 million feet of timber
in the Chugach National Forest for
use in constructing the new line. The
permit was issued by the District
Forester at Portland, Oregon, who
has direct supervision of the Alaskan
forests, and is in conformity with the
Act of March 4, last, which author
lied the Secretary of Agriculture to
permit the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission and the Navy Department to
take from the national forests free of
charge earth, stone. and timber for
use in government works. The tim b.
er will be out in designated areas
along the right-of- way of the propOs-
ed railroad, which runs through the
Chugach National Forest for several

PLAYGROUND OF THE WORLD

Honolulu, Hawaii, U. S. A., Aug.
2-Cherry blossom season in Japan
has been one of the great attractions
for travellers to the Far East in April
each year. The Hawaiian Islands
have now counter attraction in the
summer season, particularly in June,
July and August. During the sum-
mer season the poinciana regia is in
bloom, the entire tree being mass
Of brilliant red blossoms. The golden
shower tree is a mass of golden pet
ais, while the pink carthardicarpus is
laden with delicate pink blossoms.
The bougainYillea vine is also at it's
best about this time of the year,
while the famous three thousand foot
wall surrounding Oahu college in
Honolulu blossoms at night only with
the beautiful night blooming cereus
plant. The latter is a rare plant on
the mainland but in Honolulu it
thrives in great hedges on rough
walls.
Up to a few years ago the Islands
endeavored to only attract visitors to
Hawaii during the winter time be-
cause of the mild springlike climate,
but now they are strong in the belief
that no where else in the world will
be found such beautiful Towering
trees as these in the summer time and
they now call the Islands the play
