Advises Clarification of the
 Right to Declare Boycotts

Another matter that should be made clear-and nothing be more important than this-is that each nation has right decide for itself whether will undertake the things advised by the general council The language of the constitution while not definite would to indicate that no nation is re- Quired to furnish force to back up decision of the council But doubt should be left on this subject This nation cannot afford to allow council in which has small voice carry it into against its will Our people will have much sense when the time comes to act as they have now. and they Will have light to guide them. When the emergency arises and they understand all the circumstances and conditions they may be willing assist by force but they cannot decide in advance allow council 10 decide for them.
 The constitution Of the league would seem to lm- ply right of the council to declare economic boy colt by ehe members This is not quite seriohs as the declaration of but economic boycott is likely to develop into war and economic boycott may be peculiarly advantageous to the nations that want to declare it. Our interests may not be identical in this respect and ought to have right to say at the time whether would declare such boycott

Abolition of Secret Treaties

"It is not be expected that so great an idea as the league of nations would be made perfect in de tail in so short time There are defects that should corrected and the fullest discussion of pro posed amendments should be invited. The news papers of France, Italy and Great Britain are not backward in the expression of their views as to changes that should be made. Why should the Amer jean people be silent? Ours is the nation most nfu ential in the league. and most powerful because most disinterested Its people should help by free and frank discussion perfect the league The pres dent has done the best he could but he will be aided by intelligent criticism from those friendly to the idea

Our nation is asking to be permitted assist in the settlement of European disputes and therefore it ought no be asked give up it's para mount influence in the western hemisphere dton precedent to its entry into the league. Then too, is not stated with sufficient clearness that a league member is not required to become manda- tory It ought to be definitely stated that nation asked to become mandatory is at liberty to accept or decline. Again it should be made clear that the league interfere in the internal affairs of the nations belonging to the league. The league is for the settlement of international disputes for the adjustment of differences between nation and its people.

Find Few Violators OF
Measuring Law in State

Nermilion. Nov. 24.-Most satisfac-
tory results have been attained in the
ils pection OF measuring devices used
fol- gasoline and kerosene with a re-
sulting saving of thousands of dollars
to users of these products in South
Dakota. Recent inspections of many
pumps and measures which had pre-
viously been tested and corrected by
inspectors of the state food and drug
department have shown these instru-
ucnts to be well within the %tolerances
in nearly all Eases These tests also
show that it is possible to keep this
class of measuring devices in condi-
ton to give correct measure If the
owners will devote a moderate amount
of attention to keeping them in order.
During the past few months this
class OF inspection work for the de-
partment has been do : by Inspectors
Anton Runbeck and G. S. Horner.
These men will continue to give their
attention chiefly to this work until
supplies car be obtained for the in
spection of other measuring devices
and of scales. Although material was
ordered last spring much of it has
not yet arrived and the work of en-
forcing the states new weights and
measures law Is therefore much ham
pered.
Commissioner Frary has assurance,
however, that the inspectors supplies
will Don be on hand and he will then
have them devote their attention to
the scales Of grocers and butchers
and, in fact. to all forms of measur-
ing devices used in the measurement
of things bought or sold. The COM
missioner expects also to have the
weights of deliveries or coal and coke
investigated and next spring will en-
deavor to see that the scales used
by ice dealers are correct.
Inspectors will also see that the
provisions of this law relative to
weight tickets are observed. These
require that every load of coal, coke
or charcoal shall be accompanied by
a delivery ticket with duplicate.
These tickets must show the gross
tare and net weights for the load and
the name OF the dealer and the pur-
chaser. and one ticket must be de-
livered TO the purchaser at the time
OF delivery Of the load. The law
authorizes department inspectors to
stop delivery wagons at any place and
require them to go to q scales and
