GUARANTEE LAW
SUCCESS


On September 3Oth, 1910 the Citizens
State Bank of Oacoma, S. D., closed its doors
by order of the State Banking Department due
to irregular methods ~practiced by an officer of
the bank. The Public Examiner then directed
all DepositOrs to file proof of their claim against
the bank, and Immediately upon the proc eing
verified, the claim was paid i'm full from the
State Depositors Guarantee Fund.
ALL STATE BANKS in the state of South
Dakota are required to set aside a certain
amount subject to levy by the Public Examiner
for the purpose of SECURING the Depositors of
TAT BANKS. The HAND COUNTY TATE
BANK is a member of this guarantee plan and
contributed a small amount toward the pay
ment of the depositors of the defunct Citizens
State Bank of OacOma, S. d.
The ~DEPOSITORS Of the HAND COUNTY
STATE BANK are protected in the same manner
as those of the OacOma bank.

The proper means Of increasing the love
we bear our native country is to reside some
time in foreign one.-Shenstone.
CONGRESSIONAL MULE SENSE.

The inability or unwillingness of congress to
do the right thing at the right time was shown
in the failure of the Webb bill, authorizing
combinations for the promotion OF export
trade and the establishment Of joint selling
agencies. No one has given any convincing
reason why this measure should not have been
enacted; men representing the republican and
democratic parties, and important business or
CARNATIONS have shown why it should have
passed and been put in operation at once. The
administration favored it. A proviso declar-
ing that an association or combination formed
under the act should not be in restraint OF the
export trade of any domestic competitor re
moved the only reasonable objection to the bill
as originally drawn. The freedom to combine
which this measure permitted was needed be-
fore the war, and Americans familiar with ex
port trade methods approved in foreign coun-
tries have said that the need will be much
greater when the conflict ends and there is a
revival of normal industry abroad. The bill
passed the house at the first session, but there
was no action by the senate in the second
session.

AMERICANS IN TURKEY.

The delay in the progress OF American cltl-
zens on their way out of Asia Minor -unpleas-
antlv suggests the early days Of the war when
citizens of the entente were fastening home
ward Turkey was not then at war, but num-
berless and ugly barriers were thrown IN the
path of the departing tourists and business
folk Even in Constantinople there were din
cuties. and but for the timely and very ETH
cient services of the then American ambassa-
dor to Turkey, Henry Morgenthau, it is pos
sible that an awkward situation might have
become tragic Mr.. Morgenthau, whose IN
fluence over the Turkish authorities was great,
managed to keep the procession OF frightened
Europeans moving. Trains were mysterlously
held back passports were not forthcoming, but
Morgenthau was powerful and the flight from
Turkey ended happily.
Now it is the American citizens who are IN
difficulty There is none with the personal IN
fluence of Morgenthau to help them, and the
Turkish government is not anxious to please.
If break in American relations with Turkey
should come before the Americans were safely
out of the way, discomfort and worse might re-
suit. There are said to be more than one thou
sand Americans in the vicinity of Beirut how
many more are scattered through the Ottoman
empire cannot be stated offhand. The mission
aries, often the last to leave scene OF danger,
are in total large company.
Turkey. delightful in its courtesies toward
the traveller in time of peace, would not be a
healthful place for Americans in time OF trou-
be 1t will be mercy if Turkey can be kept
beyond range of our diplomatic seventies until
our people are out of those hateful domains.

A FRIENDLY WARNING.

Possibly the members of legislatures in far
western states who are so lacking in patriotism
that they 90 no. hesitate to embarrass the gov
eminent by urging legislation calculated to
complicate our foreign relations, may be
brought to their senses by the friendly warn
ing given in New York City by distinguished
Japanese publicist. Speaking at a dinner OF
the Worlds Court League, DR.. T. Iyenaga
made clear his belief that a dangerous situa-
ton would be created if state legislatures con-
tinued to discriminate against Japanese resld-
ing in this country.
Referring to the proposed alien land law Of
Oregon, which is similar to the bill now before
the Idaho legislature. he said: eff this kind OF
pinpricking is often repeated, fear the time
NAV come when Japanese rulers cannot re-
strain the people, That there might not be
any misunderstanding, he said this subject
should not be COMPOUNDED with the immigra-
ton question. which, so far as Japan is con-
Icerned, was settled by the so-called "gentle-
mems agreement. This agreement has been
faithfully lived up to as has been shown by
the decrease rather than by the increase of
Japanese residents since 1907 Answering
persons in this country who assume that Japan
is determined to force the issue of unrestricted
immigration. he aid that his country wanted
nothing of the sort. What he had in mind
was the treatment of small number of his
countrymen now residing here.
In California this treatment has not been
fair What is proposed in Oregon and Idaho
is not fair. DR.. Iyenaga's statement should
command thoughtful attention not only in
these states but throughout the country, par
ticularly as this friendly visitor is regarded by
many as a semi official spokesman for his gov
eminent.

permanent can be built upon it. The readjust-
ment to follow this war must be founded on
justice, sympathy, good will. The milltarlsts
forced this titanic catastrophe on Germany as
much as they forced it on France; and the Ger
man people are likely to suffer no less than
their neighbors or to be less determined that
such a monstrous, heartrending iniquity and
horror shall never be forced upon them again.
There is no country in which the splendid
qualities of the Germans and the Indebtedness
of civilization to them are not recognized.
Europe had no hatred for the French when IT
overthrow Napoleon's throne. Europe Will
have no ill-will for the Germans when they
pull their Hohenzollerns down; all their pres
ent enemies will be quick and glad to offer
them the hand of friendship.
On justice, amity and the mutual apprecla-
ton, sympathy and good will of all the peoples
the reconstructed Europe must be built, If this
war is to be remedial of evils, as we may hope,
and open fairer epoch for mankind.

HATRED WILL CEASE.

However bitter the European beligerents
are today; however uncompromising their will
to fight the war to decisive end; however re-
sentful the allies may be that the conflict was
forced upon them, there is reason to doubt if
envenomed hatred will long persist when the
fighting has ceased. There are those who look
for such an ending of the struggle as will make
determination between the people assured.
1t will not be, as many believe, peace with
out victory, or an inconclusive peace re-estab-
fishing the status quo. 1t Will be a peace
in which the principles of democracy will tri-
umph peace in which the militarists who
wanted. forced and justified this will be
brought low Guilt will not escape the conse-
ouences of its acts, but we need not expect to

If TREES COULD TALK.

IF TREES COULD TALK.
II trees could talk. the tales they'd tell
Would surely be worth listening to.
The trees that form the shady dell,
Where lovers their fond VOWS renew;
The trees that guard the home, the street
Where children play and elders rest;
What varied tales would they repeat
OF hopes deferred or hearts oppressed,
or happy lives divinely blest.
II trees could talk, how oft we'd hear
OF gross mistreatment, lack OF care
Borne patiently for many year.
While thoughtless mortals unaware --
OF how trees suffer. why they fall,
Put forth no effort to repel
The foes that constantly assail
Sad tales like this. know full well,
A myriad suffering trees would tell.
If trees could talk, methinks their words
Would sound protest loud and stern
For loss of their good friends, the BIRDS,
And make plea for their return.
Trees need the birds and so de we.
In the incessant fight to stay
The foes that so persistently
On flowers and fruit and foliage prey,
Our allies, vigilant, they.

Who truly loves these friends Of man,
Their every leaf and flower and limb
Is vocal. Since the world began
The trees have been our steadfast friends
And well being constantly
Upon their life and growth depends.
How faithful. then, our care should be;
How fondly should we love the tree.

THE new PRINTING
HOUSE DEDICATED

Last Wednesday the program
heretofore announced for the formal
opening of the new Republican build
ing was carried out by holding open
house thruout the afternoon and
evening. The Republican household
and number of country correspond
ents and persons who had made ap-
plication for the position of informa-
tion hostess to show visitors thru
in business hours after the first Of
April aided in showing the guests
thru the building at the opening.
Several hundred persons called and
there was universal expression of
surprise and pleasure at the complet-
ness of everything about the build
ing.
Music was furnished by the Edison
during the day and in the evening
by the Edison and four piece Or
chestra. The almost impossible con-
dition of the roads kept many coun-
try people from attending and re-
grets were sent by mail and by phone
calls. At 8 o'clock in the evening
Mr.. Trego called up the home Of
