CONGRESSMAN DILLON.

We are indebted to the Daily
Huronite Of Huron for the following
comment on a statement to The effect
that the Rotary Club of Sioux Falls
has asked Congressman Dillon TO can
Gel his engagement to speak before
7, basing It's action upon tie fact that
Nh Dillon voted against the resolu-
ton declaring a state OF wal to ex
list:
III Congressman Dillon is acting as
an obstructionist, this seems entirely
right. But, If he has done nothing
since his original vote against the
declaration of war, it appears a bit
brusque. The United States was not
committed to war until after that vote
was taken"
That expresses it in a nutshell,
Prior thereto, there was a natural
difference of opinion. Subsequently,
it has been every Americans duty to
lend his loyal support in furtherance
of the declared national policy.
If Congressman Dillon has been do
ing so, no sel~fTespecting citizen of
America has any business to throw
stones at him. If he has not been so
doing, the Rotary Club ought to have
been aware of it when the engage
ment to speak before it was arranged;
or, at all events, it should have some
cas- other than the congressman's
vote last April.
To stop at this point, however,
without qualifying addenda, would
undoubtedly be an injustice to the
Sioux Falls R~otarians, who represent
a high type of citizenship in their
city and their state, since it would
imply, as the Huron papers comment
has a tendency to imply, that they are
assuming to be the guardians of other
peoples consciences, seeking to make
that guardianship retroactive. there
by placing themselves in the highway
leading to ~autocracy, which President
Wilson and his official advisors, back
ell by al overwhelming public senti-
ment, have undertaken to destroy in
the interests Of worldwide democl
1acy.
We have lmbibed or absorbed, or
otherwise become obsessed with. the
idea that since his adverse vote Con.
ssressman Dillon has been according
the government his loyal support in

THE MERIDIAN HIGHWAY.

The Texas Good Roads Magazine
has the following reference to Sths
Meridian Highway in its Novembel
"A letter from the officials OF
the north end of the Meridian
Road informs this Office that sew
eral changes will have to be made
in South Dakota; and that it may
be considered proper to route the
big highway from Yankton to
WATERFOWL via Sioux Falls and
Bookings. 1t is well said that,
when this highway was laid out,
state and federal aid, now SO gen
erously bestowed, was then only
a dream. The requirements for
laying out highways to accommo-
commercial centers, makes it de-
sidable to give consideration to
possible changes that will bring
the aid, and thus help provide a
hard surfaced road. This action
also quickens the Dead Ones, for,
as in all enterprises, .Competi-
ton is the life Of trade so it is in
good roads promotion and con-
struction in South Dakota as in
Texas. Competing routes bring
good roads for all, and no one is
hurt, but all are benefited"
The Texas end Of the Meridian is
evidently in good condition, as indi.
by the fact that a Mr.. Dawson
covered 246 miles, practically the
Gulf division, in five hours and
ffty-three minutes, What a splendid
thing it would be If the north end
could make such a good showing!

The Okolona Messenger rises to
endorse w. E. Savage, of Okolo-

When we wrote the article re-
