STATE ROAD ACTIVITY

Good roads enthusiasts are reviving
their enthusiasm as spring opens up,
and there Is some prospects of real
work being done this year on the
trails crossing this state. The Water
town meeting, for a trail from Mime
apolis and st. Paul through central
South Dakota and the Black Hills,
appears to have started the ball roll
ing. This move, which cut out the
old Black and Yellow trail east of st.
Lawrence and Miller, has started some
activity along the old route. The re-
result was a good road meeting at
Pierre, which formed a needed or
ganization to push the Black and
Yellow trail interests. The new line
from. Hand County west is the same
as the old trail, SO west of here there
is no conflict, and both organizations
can work together.
At the Pierre meeting a fortunate
selection was made for president of
the organization in the person of Thos.
Roberts, an active enthusiast, who
will keep things moving all along the
trail through local vice presidents.
Another meeting will be held soon
at Rapid City, to include county COM
missioners in counties located along
these trails. 1t is the purpose of these.

state and federal aid in building per-
manent GROSS state highways. of con

VOTE OF THE CONGREssMEN

Numerous newspapers and two or
three meetings in different cities of
the state have condemned Congress-
men Royal G. Johnson and G. III. Dill
Ion for voting mo" on the war resolu-
ton. In some cases the papers have
accompanied their comments with a
boost for some local favorite to sue
coed one or the other, which exposes
more or less politics in said COM
ments. Others insist that the Con-
gressmen misrepresented a great
majority of their constituents. Just
how they know this to be a fact is
not stated.
II is possible that the two Congress-
men we're In touch with many OF their
constituents, and 1t is Just probable
that thirty days ago South Dakota was
not positively favorable to a declara-
tion of war. At any rate 1t seems fair
to this paper to withhold criticism on
that vote. because up to that time
there was honest division. These men
we're doubtless honest and sincere in
their wishes to avoid war If possible.
as thousands of other Americans
were. But as soon as the country was
committed to war by a majority vote
Of Congress, there Is no doubling the
loyalty of these thousands, and there
is likewise no reason to doubt the
loyalty and patriotic service Of Con-
gressmen Dillon and Johnson. 1t
must be remembered that House lead
er Kitchin also voted no, but an
nounces that he will support the ad-
ministration, and was applauded in
Congress Friday, when he spoke in
favor Of the big war revenue meas

that he no longer deserves 1t.
THE FOREIGNER IN AMERICA

1t is possible that here and there
a foolish citizen Of foreign descent
will say or do something against the
country that has given him great
freedom and many advantages. He
may do these things from hasty i'm
pulse, or pure cussedness, without
counting the cost. But the great
body OF foreign born Americans will
neither participate In, or approve Of
such things. And when one stops TO
calmly examine into such acts, how
utterly foolish they appear. Any one
or a dozen men can perform an act
or two that might damage some pro-
perty, on kill a few people. But what
do such things accomplish? Prac-
nothing, except to excite and
embitter the American people, who,
as a whole, have no bitterness now
the central nations.
1t would seem to be the part of
wisdom, IL for no other reason, that
people whose ~sympathies are not
whole-heardedly American, should
keep still, and be patient until this
war tradegy is over, and not
10 anything to make Americans bit
er. For when the time comes, Uucle
Sam will have something to say about
he peace terms. And the big and
title nations may reasonably expect
greater degree OF fair treatment
rom this big, free, liberal republic
han from bitter foes nearer home.

Son of Indian Chief Suicides

Miles Hump, son of the old Indian
chief Hump, in whose hands rested
peace or trouble among the Cherry
Creek Indians at the time of the last
Indian uprising in the Dakotas, com
mitted suicide by shooting, while at
Dupree a few days ago. The young
mar was a namesake of General Mel
son A. Miles, who was a friend of the
old Sioux Chief, father of the young
man who ended his life with a bullet.

The former surmise may approach
the real condition, as all signs indi-
cate that she is weakening in Often
sive. That the Germans realize this
appears to observers In the numerous
rumors of peace feelers supposed to
come from German sources. At least
it is known that they do not come
from the allies. But the surmise that
Germany is totterins and ready to fall
is perhaps premature. She probably
retains considerable defensive power.
On the other hand the British and
French forces are apparently just
reaching the top wave Of equipment
and preparedness for the first time,
as evidence in their successful spring
offence. Heretofore they have marked
time, and defended. Today they are
aggressive, have taken the offensive
away from Germany, and are
ing considerable territory in France.
Slowly, but surely they are driving
the once Wonderful German fighting
machine back towards its own terri
tory.
II the allies have, as supposed, now
reached the desired preparedness in
fighting power. the entrance of Amer
lea to keep them going with her un-

ing balance. in this titantic struggle

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take Tablespoonful of Salts
If Back Hurts or Bladder
BOthers---Drink Lots
of Water

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, saws
a well known authority, who warns taB
to be constantly ON guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid. but
Ibeeome weak from the overwork; they
Iget sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like humps of lead, and you have sting
ling pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when pou have
severe headaches nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and lem
on juice, combined with lfthia. and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutral
lze the acids in urine SO it is no long
er a source of irritation, thus ending
urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferveseent
hthia water drink, and nobody can
make a mistake by taking little oe.
easionlly to keep the kidneys clean
and active.
