JENSEN PLANS A
NEW BRIDGE BILL
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
STATE ADOPT MEASURE PRO
POSED FOR LEGISLATIVE
ACTION.

Watertown. S. D.-A bridge bill,
which, if passed by the legislature
this winter will give South Dakota
a bridge law very similar TO the old
statute in force previous to the pas
sage OF the present measure, was in
.dorsed by the South Dakota Associa
ton OF County Commissioners just
before the close OF its second annual
convention here. The association al
so recommended a new commissions
,ers' salary bill.
Deadwood was selected for the
1917 convention With the provision
that the meeting be held next sum-
able for Black Hills sightseeing
than is the winter time. Besides
Deadwood, Huron and Sioux Falls
had invited the next convention of
the commissioners association.
The bridge bill was recommended
for adoption by the legislative COM
mittee, though the bulk OF respon-
sibility for it was claimed by Nels
Jensen. OF Mitchell. to whom the
task OF drawing up this bill was al
lotted in the division of the legls.u-
tive work The bill differs from the
present bridge law. principally in
that it provides that the county
board shall be authorized to make
contracts for bridge construction
for all structures exceeding 500 in
cost. for the entire year.
Under the proposed bill. the con-
tractors must bid TO do all work Civ
en- them at specified sum per lin
cal foot or per cubic foot or yard,
according to the nature of construc-
tion. Thus. it is not necessary at all,
but merely a general bid under q

FALL FROM HORSE
BREAKS HIS NECK
VICIOUS SADDLE PONY BELIEv-
ED TO HAVE KILLED ROY Nc
C.ABE, NEAR CAMP
CROOK.

Camp Crook, S. D.-Evidently the
victim of a vicious saddle pony, the
body of hoy McCabe, a young man
employed on the Voolfolk ranch
some miles from here, was found near
the ranch, with his neck broken. The
last seen of him alive was when he
left the ranch building for the pur-
pose of riding after cattle.
When he did not return to the
ranch that night it was supposed he
had stopped at a neighboring ranch.
The next morning his horse. with
the saddle still on. arrived at the
ranch and search resulted in the
finding of the young mans body. 1t
is believed he was thrown by the
horse and fell to the ground in such
a way that his neck was broken.

DELTA Rios WIN
OPENING DEBATE
DEFEAT KAPPAs IN THE FIRST
ROUND OF TRIANGULAR CON-
TEsT BY SPLIT DE-
CISfON.

First blood in the triangular de
batting series conducted between the
college literary societies at Dakota
Wesleyan was won by the Delta Rho
team this morning, when it defeated
the representatives of the Kappa
order in the auditorium of Science
hall. The decision of the judges stood
two for the affirmative and one for
the negative.
The question which is being de-
ibated in the series is:
Resolved that all railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce should
be governmentally owned and oper-
ated."
Supporting the affirmative, the
Delta Rios argued the necessity for
and practicability of government
ownership. The Kappas brough,
forward an alternative plan, propos-
ing to allow the railroads to merge
into a single holding company UNI
der government supervision.
The clash was fairly even with
slight advantage to the Kappas UNI
til the closing rebuttal speech, where
the experience and forceful delivery
of Olin jackson, leader of the Delta
Rho trio, turned the tide to his team
and won the decision of the judges
Mr.. jackson was easily the strong
est speaker OF the morning, both in
constructive and rebuttal work The

PEACE MORE LIKELY NOW
A Washington dispatch says:

A washington dispatch says.
ssThe German embassy last night
authorized the statement that it was
certain, should representatives of
the bellfgerents meet to discuss peace
terms that oneof the most import
ant subjects for discussion would be
that Of limited universal disarma-
ment. The German view is said to be
that any peace would be worthless
which did not make unnecessary arm
ament on scale approaching that
which existed before the war.
THE German view further is in
dicated as being generally opposed
to international coalitions, as they
have existed in the past, on the
ground that such coalitions are OPP
posed to the maintenance of peace,
rather than conducive to it,
:. The above is better news than
even the announcement by Germany
that she would consider treaty of
peace. For it shows that Germany
sincerely desires an agreement to
prevent repetition of the present
continental conflict, which means
that there is hope not only for a
cessation of hostilities, but for a per-
nianent peace.
The German ambassador is quite
right in saying that coalitions are as
much of a menace to peace as great
ornaments. If the United States were
surrounded by three such powers as
Great Britain, France and Russia,
and if they were banded together for
the purpose of fighting US, would we
not maintain great army and navy?
Even without such threat, this gov
eminent has spent in single year
SO per cent more on army and navy
than has ever before been done by
any power on earth not engaged in
war. What would those expenditures
not be if we were enclosed in ring
of enemies leagued to give us battle?
The answer to that question tells how
preposterous 1t is to demand that Ger
many disarm, while there exists a
powerful armed alliance reaching al
most all the way around her borders
and formed for the very purpose OF
fighting her.
Germany cannot take the risk OF
dlsarming, unless alliances backed
UP with armed camps and organized
against Germany are abolished What
is more, Germany cannot be expected
to, disband her army unless Great
Britain scuttles her fleet. One is Just
as much a menace to peace as the
other. Indeed, dominant fleet is
more threatening, because it can and
usually does dstroy the real freedom
ofSthe seas.
III Great Britain is sincere in want.
ing permanent peace, she will Offer
to junk her batleships. Germany has
already said through her ambassador
that she is ready to break up he,
army. If Great Britain still persists ir
making war, it will be more thar
ever evident that she is bent upor
conquest and the spells of an armed
triumph.

Bridgewater, was reading a
newspaper in front of a large
window in the south wall of his
