GOING ALONG NOW

Sioux Falls Journal: John Il. Co.
gan and George Jameson, who for
the past tifteen years have persist
emily boosted the west of the river
country, and have continued to sell
land in those counties when nearly
ali other dealers began operating else
where, are seeing their predictions
come true. They have always main
tanned that Stanley and Lyman coun-
ties would become rich agricultural
districts, and the past three years
proves that they knew what they
were talking about. The crops this
year, these men say, are not only
equal, but far better, than in most OF
the counties in the eastern portion of
the state. 1t is natural for men to
boast of the big yields in their own
counties, but results show that wheat
is tbreshing in many instances over
thirty bushels to the acre, and all
other crops in proportions west of the
river. Alfalfa is the great money
making crop of that country. With
three cuttings of alfalfa and then
good seed crop. it is easy to see
where the wealth is. The dairy
industry, growing greater each year,
gives them harvest every month in
the year. Men sitting around on dry
goods boxes whiting, will tell you
that the country west of the river is
not a good farming country. Just
such men said the same thing about
Mnnehaha county and a large por-
tion of Iowa. The men that are rich
today in Sioux Falls are largely men
who bought lands while they were
cheap and when it was said they were
no good The prosperity of those
western counties concerns the whole
state. Every resident of South Da-
kota should be a booster for the low
priced lands. 1t is now an absolute
certainty with the people living there
that they have rich farming coun-
try. Many Sioux Falls people have
known the country as a stock cOun-
try. Such boosters and such persis-
tent workers as Cogan & Jameson
ought to be given medals by the peo-
pie living in Stanley and Lyman
counties.

RANKING U. S. OFFICERS

Congress in providing higher rank
for General Pershing and General
Bliss, has acted only as it should
have done. Altho America has here :
t0fOre, through sentiment, reserved
the title of general and lieutenant
general for men who have earned the
rank by distinguished service, it was
necessary for the preservation of the
dignity Of our armies abroad that
their commander shonld as least rank
with the men with whom be cooper
ated.
In Europe, where armies have al
ways been larger and commanding
ranks necessarily higher in working
to a commander in-cbief, the nations
have nominated "Geld marshal" as
the highest rank in the armiea. There
are btigadier generals and major gen
erals by the hundreds and generals
by the score, but only few field
marshals. General Pershing, the
American commander was only a
major general and, though in high
command of the American forces,
was outranked by scores of men his
inferior in responsibility
Europe has made use of the title
lieutenant general" as superior to
major general, would have ranked
equally with European generals. Be
ing now general be ranks with
European field marshals, which is
proper since his responsibility as
commander in-chief of the field forces
of the United States places upon his
shoulders the same responsibility
Amerlca is soon to have in France
the greatest military force ever or
ganiZed under the Stars and Stripes
or under the command Of a single
American. 1t will embrace many ar.
armies, it will represent sovereignty
of the greatest free people. It's COM
mander chief, when he goes to q
conference of war, must hold rank IL
equal proportion to the men with
whom he will confer.

A PROCLAMATION

Character is not wholly inherited,
neither does it result from brief expert
ence, but on the contrary it is the
product of imperceptible accretion
throughout the years of life.
"Precept upon precept, precept upon
precept; line upon line, line upon line;
here little and there little, I" is the
formula for character building pre-
scribed by wise ancient, and indeed
all of the PHILOSOPHERS of modern learn-
ing have not improved upon it.
Profoundly impressed as | am with
the belief that regular attendance at
the Sunday School is one of the most
potent influences in forming good char
acter in our people, and desiring to
advance the institution and give en-
couragement TO the devoted men and
women who freely and patiently give
their time, talent and strength to this
important work, /. Peter Norbeck,
Governor of the State of South Dakota,
do hereby enjoin all cur citizens to
observe as Go to-Sunday- y-School-Day.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1917
and do recommend that on that day
each and every one repair to his re-
spectiVe church Sunday School, to at
tend it's sessions, take part in it's exer.
cises, and by example and word Indicate
to the officers and teachers the high
public appreciation of their labors and
to impress upon the children the serious
import of the Sunday School and its
work.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, l
have hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the Great Seal
of the State of South Dakota at the
Capitol in the City of Pierre, this
9th day of October. A. ID. 1917.

NEW POLITICAL PARTIES

A meeting was held in Chicago last
week Tor the purpose of organizing a
new political party of liberal tend
encies. The membership is to con
sist of the disgruntled ones of the
older parties, some prohibitionists,
single takers, government ownership
advocates and progressiyes. The new
party will undoubtedly be gladly re-
ceived by both the democratic and
republican leaders for, if it gains any
strength whatever, it will be an ex-
cellent ally TO court when elections
are at all close.
The leaders of the new party are
not at all disturbed by the fate of the
progressive party in 1912 and in 1916
especially 19l0-but are going ahead
with their plans as cheerfully as
though disaster has not always been
the fate of third parties ever since
the politics OF the nation settled down
into two well defined channels. They
propose to incorporate into their
tenets the most radical progressive
ideas, yerging to socialism,. but stop
ping short of the impractical theories
that have always been the handicap
of socialism.
There is always something appeal
ing about new political party. Per-
haps it is because. being new, its
records are clean, it's promises are as
yet unbroken, its hopes still strong
Having Joined fortunes with the new
party man feels as though he had q
bath and a shave and clean linen
and new clothes. He experiences the
same refreshment and eXaitation as
that which floods the being of a
religious convert persuaded that his
sins have all been washed away and
he has been given a new start. Every
one is imbued with the belief that
only noble thoughts have entered
into the formation of the new party
and that it is bound to conquer the
world by the loftiness of it's ideals.
Then, one by one, the old political
trickeries and shame make their ap-
pearance to dim the pristine purity
of resolve. The snowy escutcheon of
the newest knight of liberty becomes $
murky, cloudy, grey and then assumes
the hue of his competitors and the
recent cohye.ts to the cause, reaiiz-
ing that the new party is no better
than the one forsaken, turn with o
sight to their first love, determined
to have victory at least since they
cannot have their ideals, and so an
other party passes into desuetude and
then into oblivion.
Of course it is possible that the
new party, as yet unnamed, formed
in Chicago may find different fate.
but the chances are against it

A BUSY BOARD

Sioux Falls Journal: The South
Dakota exemption board, which will
hold it's future sessions in this city,
is holding forth at the government
building, and has more work piled
up ahead of it today than at any
time. The board is working in one
small room but expects to have bet
ter quarters in a few days. in fact 1t
will need quarters if it is to perform
the work. Ii the order to 60 ahead
and examine all the draft men is put
into effect the board will be in con-
tinuous session here for the next four
months. AS the members are only
paid 81 q day by the government the
work is real loss to all Of them.

INSURANCE LEGISLATION

The soldiers and sailors insurance
bill which is pending in congress is
q radical, but a most logical, depar-
tuce from the old pension system
which has proved such heartacbe
to the American people and which
has been the source of so much frand
and abuse.
We have no fault to find with the
intentions of the system. The OBJ
jects of the system are wholly praise
worthy. 1t is the burden of the ma
chinery, the opportunity it offers for
fraud and its general ramshackle and
inefficient construction that are con-
demned
The insurance system is more busi-
ness like and etficient-more modern
in its methods, and in the end will
accomplish more genuine good than
all the pension systems ever devised,
while at the same time absolutely
eliminating the possibility Of fraud.
The insurance bill provides the fol
lowing four classes of benefits:
/. Provision for the payment of
compulsory allowances to dependents
of soldiers and sailors.
2. Provision for supplementary
allowance by the governmental these
dependents,
3 Provision for the payment of
death and disability compensation by
the government to soldiers and sail
ors or their dependents.
4. Provision permitting soldiers
and sailors, including officers, to
purchase insurance from the govern
ment at rate which probably will
be $S thousand.
In case of death or disability the
soldier or sailor or his dependents are
paid lump sum, just as an insurance
company would do, and the incident
is closed. There is no more juggling
of pension rolls, no special action Of
congress-, no more widows and Or
phans to be trafiicked as political |
munitions. With the lump sum it
will be possible for the dependents
or the disabled patriots to enter q
small business and make far better
living than any pension would afford
and are relieved of that feeling of
charity which accompanies every
pension, no matter how tactfully ad-
ministered.
