A league In an agreement. We must

II Is easy to talk about a league of

to embarrass the peace that we ought
to make at once with Germany. The
attempt to attach the provision for a
league OF nations to the treaty of
peace would be to launch the nations
who have been fighting Germany on a
sea of boundless discussion.
1t Is u first duty and our highest
duty to bring peace to the world at
this moment and not cucumber II by
trying to provide against wars which
never may be fought and against diff

U. S. SENATORS DEBATE ON PLAN
FOR HAVING "LEAGUE OF NATIONS"

Statesmen of the world, in Paris, are lining up for or against a
'League of Nations But any peace treaty they may draft, includ-
ing Or excluding the proposed League, y must be submitted to the
United States Senate for ratification.
Senators also are lining up for or against the league. And, while
the peacemakers are debating in Paris, the senators of the United
States (the leading senators) will debate the same subject for the
people of this country-IN THE COLUMNS OF THE EVENING

VIII take a differentform and in n
spirit OF more national self-service
tnan II there should be disclosed both
the capacity as well as the willing
ness TO come to some understanding
upon a general basis of amity and
unity for all future relations.
1 expect to see this tribunal meet
TINS question first, and when IL is met
to promptly send it to the different
governments Interested to be either
ratified or rejected.
The question OF the Limitation of
armies and navies is a matter to be
left wholly to those nations which
wish to league with each other as to
that separate question, n these linz
itations should be based altogether
upon the corresponding relations that
the governments of the large navies
bear TO each other n to the world,
as well as being guided by considera-
ton of how far navies are essential
auxiliaries and aids to commerce.
Instead of there being any provi-
sion as to the general armies to be
controlled by the league. I propose
the following scheme: that IL armies
OF any kind shall ever be found nee
essary and accepted by us as neces-
sary, I would propose hat when this
tribunal has been created and any
judgment reached on any controversy,
1 would leave II to hat tribunal to
decide in each ase what kind of
process or verdict would be fitting to
the peculiar grievance before IL.
When IL was ad1udged. the popular
opinion OF the nations. with their rep
resentatiyes being a part of the trt-
.bunal, would maintain II.
l would make no provision granting
such a league the power to maintain
an international army to enforce its
1919 wA UFtAh Hh0
power OF invoking as to each judg-
ment. as the particular circumstances
may demand. a force which would be
suffcient in order to execute the 1udg-
ment.
Then / would vest in IL the power
to call upon such nations as were the
subjects of its jurisdiction for such
contributions of force as was essen
tial.
Just as soon have a man talk about us
behind our backs as v him talk
about himself TO u face.
During the engagement he tells her
that he would die for her. But after
marriage he seldom meets his finish
by working himself 20 death for her.
A pretty girl doesn't have to have
anything to talk about TO make men
cit around for hours n listen to her.
A reformer hates every kind or SIN
except the kind that he specializes in.
And, believe us. the Norman Church
would have a heap more members IL
more men could afford hve or six
wives.
Funny how a man can't carry an
umbrella and keep the rain on his
own wife the way he can carry IL and

ADVERTISING OUR STATE

The United States Railroad Admin
istration, through its. agricultural sec
ton, has just issued an illustrated
booklet which is bound to prove Of
great interest to those who seek
homes and farmsy opportunities in the
state of South Dakota. So many re-
quests for information about farm
opportunities in South Dakota have
been received by the Railroad Admin
istration since the signing of the
armistice that the booklet plan was
decided upon to meet the apparent
need, The South Dakota state agri-
cultural authorities co-operated with
the railroad agricultural representa-
tives in the collection Of data. The
booklet tells all about South Dakota
production, markets, transportation
facilities, land values, climate, roads,
schools, churches, etc. Dean Brown
of the College of Agriculture gives Of
fetal approval of the contents of the
booklet in the following paragraph:
THE accompanying sketch is an at
tempt to set forth in an honest and
uncolored manner, a statement of the
opportunities that South Dakota Of
fers to possible homeseekers. AS one
reads this booklet, one cannot help
being impressed by the great natural
resources of the stately the vast
food-producing power Of her farm
lands and her enormous storehouse
of minerals. That she does indeed
offer advantages to the industrious is
evident from the fact that she has
the greatest average production per
capita of any state in the Union.
South Dakota has no paupers and her
people are practically all in comfort
able circumstances" The point is
brought out in the booklet that South
Dakota residents have gained pros
perity from intelligent use of the
states resources. The sum Of $392.57
for every man, woman and child was
deposited in the state banks alone on

and in travel, that the boys are just
about the same kind of boys that they
were before the fatcful 9Th of April,
1917. The outstanding feature of the
change, according to Colonel Arthur
Woods, assistant to the Secretary of
War, in discussing postwar problems,
is that "the ambitions of our return
ing soldiers and sailors is probably
the best thing about them" Colonel
Woods says that tests applied to as
certain the mental and psychological
condition of the former soldiers prove
interesting. Among six hundred SOL
diers and sailors who returned to
industrial callings it was found that
64 per cent of them increased in ef.
ficiency, that 80 per cent of them were
the same, and per cent went back
wards. Apparently there has been
widespread apprehension concerning
the attitude of the mind Of soldiers
who have just returned home. COL
onel Woods throws light upon this.
He says: Men are not likely to come
through such soul-searching expert.
ences as this without having some
sort of lasting effects upon them.
This effect seems to take the form,
along others, of causing them to as
sert their individuality again, upon
discharge, with a certain amount OF
emphasis. They certainly don't want
to go to work again right off at the
old civil job-a good many of them J;
| didn't when l was discharged. The
fact that these men "have their own
ideas about things" appears, accord
ing to Colonel Woods, to tend toward
the general uplift.
From another source, the United
States Employment Service, the in
formation is obtained that probably
more than three-quarters of the dis
charged men go straight home and mt
promptly into jobs"
Hundreds of thousands Of dis
charged service men have been ce-
turning to civil life within the past
few weeks, but the activities Of the
country have absorbed them, and the
number of unemployed has not in
creased, and has remained nearly sta
tionary A reason for this is found
in the fact that there are 1000 agen-
cies in the country, including govern
ment departments, merchants asso-
Citations and municipal bodies, the
Red Cross, Y. NJ c. A., Knights of
Columbus and the War Camp Commu-
nifty Service, that have constituted
themselves employment agencies; and
in their work they have co-operated
with and had the support of millions
of 0loyal and interested citizens.

March 4 1918. South Dakota farm
ers each averaged last year 1885 bush
els of corn, 1000 bushels of oatS
1,025 bushels of wheat, and had "A
total sale of about $150,000,00 worth
Of livestock. thereby maintaining a
record of producing more new wealth
per capita than any other state. The
last assessment of property in the
state was s1,441, ,1S1 1886, which amount
if equally divided among the popula-
ton would make $2,40196 for each
man. woman and child, or $12,009.80
for the average family Of five through
the state. And this is property actu-
ally assessed for taxation. 1t is shown
that there are millions Of acres of
undeveloped land awaiting the settler
in the state, which will produce crops
equal to those which have made the
1863 record, where the nutritious ma
tive grasses grow in abundance, of.
fering opportunities for the cheap
production of beef and dairy products,
and where thousands of people who
started with very small means are
becoming Independent. South Dako-
ia lawmakers, the booklet says, have
mad the foresight to help farmers get
started on the road to prosperity.
For instance, her rural credit system
enables the farmer to borrow cheap
money from the state for the purchase
of land, or for the making of improve
ments, buying livestock and other
purposes at low rate of interest for
a term of years. Legislation recently
passed authorized the state to en-
gage in hard surface-road construction
ON an extensive scale by bond issue
of $6,000,000 to be used with a like
appropriation by Congress.

Council Draws Line Against
Extras" After Allow
ances Are Made
NO MONEY FOR
POLICE GARAGE

Fhe growing practice Of various city
departments calling upon City Council
for extras" must be stopped. This
was the decision Of Council in meet
ing Of the committee Of the whole last
night The Council clerk was instructed
to write letter to each Of the city
departments notifying the heads OF the
action.
The matter was brought TO a head
by the receipt Of a letter from the
Public Building Commission stating
that alterations to the police garage in
the basement Of the Public Building
would be about $500 if made on the
city side. but only about $500 II made
on the county side.
Several Councilmen expressed fhe
opinion that the Police Commission.
should stand the expense Of the altera-
tions on the city side il it wants the
operation on the Tenth street side. One
pointed out that at a recent meeting
the commission declared it would nav
for the alterations, whereas now II Is
to set Council te>pay for Il.
Mr.. Forwood said Council is in no
position to finance the alterations on
the city side.
