PIERRE WINS ANOTHER
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

For the third time in seven years
the Pierre High School came through
an undefeated football season with
the scalps of the strongest teams of
the state dangling from hergoal posts.
She started the season with few
practice games with the local alumni
and the Indian school. the Huron
game being the first big game, and up
to which time Huron had been win
ming easily, but she went down to
defeat SO to 13 IN a hard fought battle.
The next important game was with
Aberdeen, who had already beaten
everything in the northern half of
the state. Pierre defeated them ~ to
z in her only defeat of the season.
Pierre then Travelled out to Rapid
City, being the only team from east
OF the river to play any team from.
west of the river. Pierre defeated
Rapid Ia to O. Rapid had played Hot
Springs a 6 to 6 tie game and had
been beaten by her I to 1S, and Hot
Springs claimed the Hills champions
ship but comedies to Pierre the state
honors. The next step in the race
was the defeat of the previously un-
scored Elk point team from the south
ern corner of the state. This WAS the
hardest game of the season and Pierre
won 10 toe, cinching her title by this
game. Thanksgiving day they de-
feated Watertown at that place by q
score of 13 to 0.sand taking with it
the "19l6 State Football Champion
ship Il
The boys have played good, clean
football and their record is credit
to the town. We are proud of them.

TOO MUCH WATER

report illed with the interstate
commerce commission placing a val
uation on the Kansas City Southern
railway shows that the road, capital
lied at 500, ,o52, 900. including s51, ,0oO,-
O0G in stock and $4S, ,052 900 of unma
tured funded bonded debt, could be

lowin gfor natural depreciation the
road could be reproduced, in its pres.
ent condition, for $3s, ,25s, 900.
The report further states that the
records of Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf railway, a subsidiary, show that
$45, ,279, 900 in securities were issued
against an actual money outlay of
SIS ,2ss, ,751.
When congress, several years ago ,
authorized a commission to place a
valuation on all railroad properties in
the United Statesithere was a storm
of criticism swept the country, chief
ly from the Wall Street press. 1t
was declared that the time necessary
for the work would render it valueless
when completed, because of the many
changes that would take place be-
tNeen the time the work was begun
and when it was finished. Even though
it was possible to complete perfect
valuation, these critics asked, what
possible end could be served?
The report of the interstate com
merce commission valuation COM
mittee quoted above is. a sufficient
answer.
The United States has but recently
and narrowly escaped a general rail
road strike, which threatened because
the roads, declared they could not
meet the demand for increased wages
without materially increasing freight
rates. Unless'freight rates we're in
creased, they 'said, the roads could
not pay interest on investment and
the result would be. bankruptcy.
The Kansas City Southern railway
is without doubt much like every
other railroad in America, fair sam.
pie of the rest. Its freight rates are
controlled by the western association
and certainly are sufficient to pay in
terest on lit bonded indebtedness.
Yet there is $50, ,767. 637 worth of wat

Squeeze out the water and Kansas
City Southern could pay the train.
men higher wages, reduce it's freight
rates and still make a big enough
profit on its annual business to pay
interest on the investment and leave
a substantial sinking fund.
What is true Of the Kansas City
Southernsis true, In "a greater or less
degree, of every railroad in America
1t is this reorganization of the indus
try which railroad valuation will
compel.

THE UNcENEss OF UNCLE SAM

Everybody seems to be saying
something to the general effect that
the United States is no longer deb
tor nation, being now, for the first
time IN it's history, a creditor nation.
Nearly everybody owes us something,
and is Kidding high for the privilege
of increasing the obligation. That,
as we'll as our neutrality. may ac-
count for our unpopularity abroad.
Nobody loves a prosperous man, just
as nobody is supposed to love fat
man. We must tread warily as we
fare forward, bnrdened with our un-
popularity and our riches.
Uncle Sam as a creditor nation may
we'll require certain degree of good
conduct on the part of his debtors.
That were to use power, not to abuse
it. The money lender of tradition
tempted his dupes into all manner of
extravaganza and folly, but that, it
has been demonstrated, is not only
bad morals but bad business. We
want the people who owe us TO sue
ceed. not fail. 1t is not their estates
we are after, but their trade.
Nor should we be to Snug and self.
righteous over our changed condition.
We should remember that we were
not only debtor nation once, but q
very much distrnsted debtor nation.
After our revolutionary war we talk
ed openly of Iepudiatlng our debts.
Good counsel, however, prevailed,
and we paid what we owed-or q
large part of it. Later. as readers of
the works of Sydney Smith are
aware. we wore literally abused by
him in superior prose for failure to
repay him and other Britons who
bought the bonds Of q certain Ameri-
can commonwealth which is now en-
inently respectable and financially
unassailable.
Remembering our past. we should
be circumspecJ. We should not be
vain glorious nor overproud and We
should always see to 1t that our loans
are well aecured.

PIVOTAL STATES
UNWHOLESOME

Looking beyond the immediate dis
appointment, it may be said that the
outcome is not without its compensa-
tions. The. pivotal states theory has
been on the whole an unwholesome
influence in American politics. In
the first place it has practically elm
mated every state except New York
New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois from the possibility of being
representation the presidential ticket.
With few exceptions of which Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Bryan were the most
important, the candidates of both
parties have been taken from these
states, for it was essential to have
their electoral vote and it was be-
lieved that the name of "favorite
son" would be sufficient. This theory
has also been overworked; their
place Of residence had nothing to do
with the defeat of either Mr.. Blaine
or Mr.. Bryan. But political super
stitions died hard. Virginia ceased
to be the mother of presidents after
the election of Tyler, and the south
has had no representative in the
presidency since Polk, unless we
count johnson as such. Pennsyl-
Yania, although steadily faithful to
the republican party, has furnished
but one candidate since Buchanan.
and he was democrat. The very
fact that it was bound to go one way
made the inducement of a favorite
son superiiaous. Such a monopoly
of the presidency by few states was
certain to be ended some time. The
shifting of the battle ground will
probably have that consequence.
The desirability of a broader field
of choice through the disappearance
OF pivotal states is emphasized in the
second place, by the fact that their
essential Importance in campaign
has led to the use of corrupt methods
of carrying them. This is not as
true now, of course, as it was in the
old days of soap" and "fat-frying"
and "blocks of tive." Nothing this
year suggests any suspicion of fraud i.
But there are forms of political in
tlnence which, though honest enough,
are not salutary. When the contest
for the presidency is thus localized.
local issnea may easily take the place
of national. The selfish issues of a
community, may be more regarded
than the welfare Of the nation. There
are dangers, perhaps, in the new
alignment which this election has
revealed. 1t would be unfortunate
were there to be anything like per-
manent political division on the
basis Of the states that voted for Mr..
Wilson. But the figures show that
it is not purely a party division, Nor
is it likely to be as new issues arise
and both sides fight them out, not in
a few states supposed to be necessary
to success, but in all.

Hughes is so silent that you might

Thirteen was said to be Woodrow
