WILL MAKE 1T STATEWIDE

The steady advance in temper
ance sentiment in the state may be
Judged by the fact that the saloon
interests in the state are organized
under the name of the South Dakota
Local Option League. In a big
advertisement the league has given
out to the newspapers Of the state
! the league Iauds the present local
] option law as a temperance measure
in which it cites the fact that that
! only so cities and towns il the
! state this year voted for legalizing
the traffic and asserts that such a
good law as that should not be sup
preceded by state wide prohibition.
8Ihe argument Of the league should
$be carried a step farther. If the
law is good because it permits only
$50 cities and towns to legalize the
traffic, why should not state wide
prohibition be better when it would
sellminate even the SOsplaces where
the traffic would be IegaIized. The
.league also argues that state wide
prohibition was not enforced in
former years when on the statute
books, and therefore it would not
be enforced now. The league
ignores the fact that great
change has taken place in public
sentiment on this liquor question
since the present law was enacted,
and that judges and juries no long
en- trihe with violations Of liquor
laws and these laws are constantly
being more rieidly enforced in all
sections st the country. The indi-
catioos are that South Dakota is

FLIES, HEAT AND DUST
 FEATURE IN BIG WAR

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, Meso- potamia, Aug. Allies, heat and dust, the three principal plaques of Mesopo- tamia, are what have stopped the fighting for the past several months in this theatre of the great war.
 Flies are so thick that soldiers say it is impossible to keep them out of their food A squadron of cavalry coming down a road looked as if they were wearing chain armor. When they came close enough it was found that what looked like mail was steely blue metallic mesh of flies.
 At night the flies disappear and the mosquitoes and sand-flies relieve 'em. Many species bite or sting.
 The thermometer runs up to 130 degrees in a tent. All the men wear sungard over their helmet, and spine pad. for a person can get sun- stroke here through the small of the back
 The persistent hot wind is better than complete stiffness, though it filings sand and dust in the faces of the men, who eat sand, breathe sand, lie in sand, have sand in their eyes, ears and clothes.
 There are different kinds of heat the moist and tropical heat of the swamps of the Euphrates and the Shat-al-Arab, the parched and desert heat of the Tigris and the Karun. Each variety has it's attendant insects and peculiar ailments, which often take the form of boils and eruptions. Disease has incapacitated more troops than bullets.

SIR ROGER BASEMENT

 The tramp had been con- voyed from Kiel by Q Ger man submarine, from which Basement and a companion landed on Irish soil, where they were taken into custody before their plans matured.
 In May, Easement was given a preliminary hearing and was committed for trial on the charge of high treason. Late in June the trial was be- gun, Easement pleading not guilty and uttering 2 denial that he had worked ir Ger many's interests and Ihat he had accepted German gold as a bribe.
 The courts verdict was guilty and the sentence ot death by hanging was, after appeal by his counsel, con. firmed by the Court Of Grim nal Appeal, late in July.
 The London Press general fly approved the fate legally fixed for Easement, but ir America persistent efforts were made 10 save the nOteC prisoner from death.
