My Dear Friend

My Dear Friend:
An earnest appeal for the relief of
the starving children Of Belgium has
been made to the ever generous peo-
pie of South Dakota. Mr.. Herbert
q. Hoover, until recently chairman of
the commission for relief in Belgium,
with the assistance of the Literary
Digest Co., has perfected this relief
organization, which is the only chan
mel by which relief can enter Bel
gium. Complete arrangements have
been made whereby every penny of
the money collected, or its value in
food, will be distributed by the COM
mission for relief in Belgium.
the City of Menin has three thous-
and little ones and it is estimated
that it will take $12 to keep one
child above the starvation line for one
year, which means that they will re-
ceive cup of cocoa, piece of bread
and little fat each day above the ra-
tions Of bowl of soup and piece of
bread furnished by the Allied Chari.
ties.
would suggest that you present
this matter to all Of the clubs, lodges
or any organization to which you be-
long as well as to private citizens.
You can deposit the money, whether
the amount be small or large in your
local bank as Belgian Relief, and F.
+. Chladek, county treasurer, will
see that it goes to the proper commit
tee. We have positive assurance by
the State that the funds or food are
promptly delivered and carefully dis
tributed to our wards in Belgium.
Respectfully yours,
Mrs. c. e. Bixby, Secretary.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Following the lead Of the eastern
railroads. the roads Of South Dakota
have filed with the board Of railway
commissioners an application for a
straight Is per cent raise in rates in
this state. The reasons given are
the increased cost OF operation
under the Adamson act, and the
greater cost Of capital and Increased
taxes. It is true that the railroads
are somewhat hampered at present by
conditions growing out Of the war,
but this does not mean that they are
suffering financially from these causes.
The increase in business has over
taxed their equipment, and while they
are embarrassed for lack Of men and
equipment, the increased business
means more revenue, and financially
they are profiting by war conditions.
The net earnings of the railroads in
this country in 1916 were the great
est in their, history. and with the
prospective increase in volume Of bus
mess this year the chances are good
for breaking the record of last year.
It is estimated that the increase of
expense on account Of the Adamson
law will amount in the aggregate to
$50, 600, 600. To meet this the COM
panies are asking an increase of 15
per cent in rates. This increase, If
granted. would amount to $500, 600,
900. In other words, in order to
meet an added expense Of sixty mil
lions they ask the privilege Of increas-
ing revenues three hundred and forty
millions more than enough to cover
it. Granting that the roads are en-
titled to raise to meet the injustice
imposed on them by the Adamson law,
their present demands are exorbitant.

One Of the best collections Of
sponges in America is on exhibition
at the University of South Dakota.
They were gathered by Prof. A. L.
Haines Of the department Of Chem
istry who collected them in Lloyd
county, Iowa, during a period Of ten
years or more. The specimens range
in size from sponges the size Of a
hen egg to others as large as peck
measure. They have been polished
with sand and water and are shown in
cross sections. The polishing process
brings out clearly the structure and
growth Of the sponges. These relics
of the day when Iowa and South Da-
kota formed the floor Of the tropical
sea are valued at several hundred
dollars and are Of great beauty.

We hear many rumors regarding
changes planned in the train service
though Scotland, but 80 far nothing
definite is known. The railroad COM
panies all over the country are en-
deavoring to discontinue passenger
trains wherever it can be done with
out causing too much Inconvenience,
in order to get more men and rolling
stock to handle the freight traffic dur
ing the war. It is rumored that the
Marion and Running Water passenger
will be run froEc Marion to Platte,
and mixed train run from Yankton

President Wilson can get any
thing he wants in congress. A few
weeks before the vote there was no
doubt majority favored the volun-
tee. ssyyss.eens. So A A democrat who awh.so has
long served in the house, who has dis
agreed with the president frequently,
but supported his measures, says that
the wonderful hold Wilson has on the
people is responsible for his power in
congress. Let man oppose the
president, as Stone and La Toilette
did on the armed neutrality bill. and
see what happens. There is cry
raised about failure to stand by the
president. The people rise up in great
indignation when congress does not do
what the president wants. "-R. w.
Dunn, Washington Correspondent.
We believe Mr.. Dunn has made a
wrong diagnosis. The adoption of the
armed neutrality system was not done
to please the president, but because
the people demanded it. The presi-
dent himself opposed it until he dis
covered that he was getting out of
harmony with his constituents. Those
who opposed the declaration that war
existed were criticised, not because
the president recommended it, but
because the people demanded it.
When the president recommended a
strict censorship it was turned down
by congress, and those who opposed
it are not being criticised. The presi-
dent is now recommending a system
of taxation which ID believed by many
to be oppressive at time when the
war itself is bringing us all the op-
preston that we should be asked to
endure. It is felt by many that to
pay the expense of the war while the
war is in progress and while much of
our earning capacity is employed in
war pursuits would be unnecessary y
and unwise. There is much opposi-
tion to the plan and no one is being
seriously criticized for the opposition.
The president should be supported in
everything necessary to bring the war
to,a successful termination. and every
patriotic citizen is willing to do 80,
not because the president asks it, but
because success demands it. This is
our war not the presidents.

were found to be inaccurate and worth
less. The information is given from
