Amendment K, which is to be vot-
ed on at the coming election is one
that chiefly concerns the farmers, and
if they desire it no one elee would
have any objections. Il is put as
a progressive measure in the interest
of the farmers, but heretofore the
the farmers in the legislature have
rot cared to push 1t. It is known as
state hail insurance measure, and
provides for organizing the state into
Eai! districts. The state would then
levy uniform tax per acre on all
land within that district for the pur-
pose of paying hail losses. In effect
it forces all farmers in the district
to carry hail insurance and share
equally all hail losses. In some To-
:calities hail losses are so infrequent
that farmers do not consider it advis.
able to carry insurance while in 9TH
ers it is unsafe to do without it. The
farmers themselves should decide the
destiny of this amendment.

Perhaps the most important matter
for consideration at the coming cleo
tion this fall is the selection"'o of con-
gressmen. The war will doubtless
close within the next year, and upon
the new senate will devolve the ne
cesss;y Of ratifying various treaties
V'itn foreign countries, and important
i.ws wilt nave 20 be enacted in refer
ence to reconstruction of affairs at
hcme. Loyalty and ability are re.
quisites that should be carefully con-
sidered. Senator Sterling's qualifca-
tions in both of these respects have
been tested, and have proven to be
satisfactory. There should be no
risks taken by trying a change for
this Office at this time. For congress
man from the First district, Mr..
Christopherson stands head and shoul-
ders above any of his opponents. His
loyalty has always stood the test. and
in the legislature he has proven his
ability as a lawmaker. His opponent
on the democratic ticket has the en-
dorsement of the Non-partisan league
and his record in the last Legislature
was not such as to inspire confidence
in his loyalty.

The Farmer and Breeder, Of Sioux
City, points out the fact that for
eleven years the farmers of South
Dakota have dominated the legislative
bodies. not merely showing plural
ity, but constituting q majority above
all other occupations combined. In
the legislature Of 1915, out Of . total
Of 14S members rs were farmers and
stock men, and in the session Of 1917
in q total Of 14s the farmers and
stock men numbered 80. The Farmer
and Breeder concludes that If the
farmers sof South Dakota do not get
what they want in the matter Of Leg
islation they have no one to blame but
Themselves. = These are significant
facts. and it 10 very evident that the
political agitator who comes into the
state to organize the farmers into a
separate political party at SIG. PEI

Austria and Turkey have sent to
President Wilson carbo1s copies of
Germany's request for an armistice
in order to discEss terms of peace.
Just what claim: these countries can
make 70 any right in determining the
terms of peace is hard to compre-
bend. They deliberately chose to
cast their lot with Germany in an effort
to rule the world, with the. deluded
notion that they were to become
sharers in the spoils of a conquered
world. They have failed, and their
power is broken. Had they won
there would have been. no council to
which the defeated allies would have
been invited. They would have claim
ed the right to fix the terms of peace,
and that is just what the allies will
now do. Let them surrender, just
as the allies would have been requir-
ed to do if the victory had been re-
versed.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1918-10-17

r - s.
Befo:e making President Wilson'S
fourteen demands a basis for peace
We should be sure that those points
are all sanctioned by the allies, and
especially by the Unite States. One
Of these demands is ''The removal,
as far as possible. of all economic
barriers and the establishment of
trade conditions among the nations
sssociating themselves for its main
tenance. What does this declaration
mean? Does itmean that there must
hereafter be absolute free trade be-
tween nations? If so there is serious
doubt whether the people Of the
United States would back up the
president on this point.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1918-10-17

The premature conclusion that Ger
many had surrendered because the
Kaiser's chancellor asked for an ar
mistice to discuss the application of
the presidents demands proved to be
no surrender at all. 1t was simply
an effort to get the allied forces to
lie down while the Germans establish
ed themselves il another defensive
position. The old tricks that fooled
the Russians do not appeal to the al
lies on. the western front. The Pres
ident has wisely declared that we can
enter into no agreements with the
present military powers of Germ any.
Why not stand firmly upon that dec
! laration, which means unconditional
surrender Of the German army, rather
than enter into a bubble with them
over certain specific demands? The
affairs of the allies are now in the
hands Of the allied armies. These
armies are now working with a unit.
ed purpose. and are doing good work.
Better let them finish the job before
any armistice is granted and the con.
troversy shifted to diplomatic discus
sion where differences might arise
that would disrupt the allied powerl
and make them impotent to continu,
the struggle if it were found neces
sary. ---.. +.

The government has notified all

duction Of IS per cent in the amount
OF paper used must be made. In or
der to accomplish this certain rules
have been established to regulate the

It will be necessary to do 80 in order

The presidents last reply to the
German peace proposals has set at
rest the fears that he had yielded to
the wishes of Germany to enter into
a parliamentary bubble. He calls
attention to the fact that in accept
ing his terms they had omitted one of
the most important ones-that this
country would enter into no negotia-
tions with the present rulers of Ger
many, whom he regarded as utterly
without honor and unreliable.

Lesterville Ledger.-The farmers
of this community are making extern
sive preparations this fall for their
next spring work. This precaution
is being taken because of the lack Of
farm labor. Numerous tractors and
trucks have been purchased by the
farmers and one man is now doing
the work formerly done by at least
two. There is no disposition among
those of this section to decrease their
crop acreage, but on the other hand,
many contemplate increasing crop

"BABY BONDS" MAKE 1T
EASY TO HELP COUNTRY

The fact that the government has
issued the baby bonds or War Say
ings stamps and certificates is proof
that Washington is trying to make it
easy for every patriotic citizen to help
i'm the support of the government"
said Fred Vogel, Jr., speaking of the
War Savings pledge campaign which
opens in Milwaukee county June 18th
and closes June 2Sth. Mr.. Vogel is
president of the First National Bank,
of Milwaukee, and has been active in
every campaign for war funds since
war was declared by the United
States.
1T is quite well understood that all
the citizens of this country cannot pur
chase Liberty Bonds, but | am sure
there are few patriotic citizens who
cannot purchase war stamps.
1.-The money obtained through the
sale of the $2.OOO,OOO,O00 in these
baby bonds is needed to run the Gov
eminent There is not a resident of
this country, / know, who does not
wish to assist in maintaining the
United States government, and there
are few who do not understand the
manner of subscribing.
$50 far it is the children who seem
to have taken the greatest interest in
the big thrift movement which Wash
ington has inaugurated 1t is the
children Of the schools in the small
towns and villages who have been the
most enthusiastic subscribers-nOt to
the War Savings stamps, but to the
smallest unit, the Thrift stamp.
However, it is to the older people
that Uncle Sam is looking nOw-fOr he
needs them to buy the higher priced
baby bOnds'-those that mature for So
each and may be bought in all quanti
up to $1,000.
'The Importance of purchasing these
bonds is shown by the fact that Wash
ington has asked the people of this
country to pledge themselves for a GER
ties up to $1,000.
June 2Sth. Uncle Sam asks that every
man and woman give all they can of
their wages to this movement, which is
one of protection to every citizen of
this country
