they would make a gruesome and awful
line from New York to Albany, on to
Buffalo, on to Chicago, on to Mime
apolis and then on to Helena, Mont.
The total casualties of dead, wound
ed, prisoners and missing, is figured
by Mr.. Simonds at eighteen and one
half millions of men. OF this number
as pointed out above, -four and me
half millions are dead. The perma-

A banker in New York says that II
the wal continues until this time next
year, the European nations engaged IN
it will have debts amounting to seven
ty-fve billions of dollars, and that their
annual interest charge on their debts
will be SO, 800, 0O0, 900. Five hundred
years from now, according to this
banker, children will be born into the
world under sentence to contribute OF
their labor a liberal share to meet the
interest on these debts, unless long be-
fore that the day of reputation shall
come.
AS one contemplates these awful fig
ures, it becomes fairly easy to believe
that this war which has shaken the
very foundations of the world, will
never see a duplicate.

JOY RIDERS DISCOVERED

For some time past it has been a
custom among a bunch Of young fell
lows here to take autos out of private
garages and go joy riding in the night.
Several cars have been taken out,
among them cars owned by DR.. Fisk,
DR.. Green, DR.. Forsee, Orrin Olson, H.
X. Halvorson and perhaps others, Gar
ages have been broken into in order
to get the cars out. The loss of DR..
Fisk's car last week set the officers
to work, and Sunday two boys were
arrested for taking out cars without
the owners consent.
A preliminary hearing was held be-
fore County Justice John Alexander
Monday and Tuesday and several
other boys were implicated. The case
was referred to the criminal court and
a further hearing will be held next
Saturday.

IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Sioux City Journal The results Of
republican harmony in South Dakota
this year are quite evident from the
election returns. Peter Norbeck, re-
elected by a handsome majority, which
may reach 10000. Gov. Byrne was re-
elected two years ago by about 1000
majority, but it is possible that major
ity would have been lowered considera-
bly, had he had as his opponent SO re-
sourCeful a campaigner as Orville V.
Rinehart proved himself to be this
year. or as f.. S. Johnson was four
years ago. At any rate 10000 plurality
is a very comfortable n in a state
the size of South Dakota. 1t indicates
that the republicans of that state are
getting back into the stride that char
acterized them in the days before fac
tional strife divided the party.
The g~ubernatorial campaign between
Norbeck and Rinehart was fought from
start to finish purely on state and ma
tional party issues. There were no
personalities, either by the candidates
themselves or by their newspaper or
personal supporters. 1t was a clean,
clear-cut fight between two good men,
either of whom would have made an
excellent governor, and both of whom
are personally popular. Norbock's in
creased plurality over that Of his pre-
deCessor is clearly a result of the har-
mony within the republican ranks
harmony that the leaders and the rank
and file of both the old factions rejoice
over.
Gov. Norbeck will go into Office in
January under exceptionally favorable
party behind him, a comfortable ma
jOrity in both houses of the state Iegi5-
%lature, and will not be harassed by the
criticism of an opposing faction in his
own party, as some of his predeces-
sors have been.
The only dark spot on the %republi-
can map in South Dakota is in the
Third district, where Congressman
Harry l.. Candy, democrat, was re-
elected by a comfortable majority. Mr..
Gandy's reelection may be accounted
for by either one of two theories. One
is that he is a young energetic con-
gresham, with a good equipment of
brains and an excellent standing with
the national administration and his
party colleagues, and, therefore, was in
a position to do considerable for his
district. The other is that the defeat
Of Judge Rice for congress two years
ago, when Candy was first elected,
with the aid of republican votes, may
have caused numbers of Judge Rice'3
friends to seek to avenge the Rice de-
feat of two years ago by voting for
Candy this year.

these boys will awaken them and
others to the fact that they have been
doing wrong, and will start them on
another course in the right direction
then all will be well. The lesson
taught by exposure, while severe, may
be a blessing in the end.
