ROYAL JOHNSON HAS MESSAGE
WARRIOR JOHNSON GIVES SHORT TALK
BEFORE SOUTH DAKOTA
LEGISLATURE

1t. Royal c. Johnson, South
Dakota's soldier congressman,
appeared at the Inauguration
this noon, and was called upon
for a talk. When he walked to
the rostrum members and audi
ence alike rose in tribute to him,
and the applause was loud and
long. President McMaster of the
Senate introduced him as. one
who considered it an honor and
a duty to fight with the boys
from here. tho he could not have
been called and had duties here,
and came back SCARED from the
conflict.
Congressman Johnson made
one of the finest talks ever given
in South Dakota legislative halls.
He said he would not-no one
man could--speak for the men
of the American Expeditionary
forces but what they wanted was
that the people here should not
turn the universe upside down
with radical legislation till they
could come back and have
hand in it. He urged deportation
of enemy aliens and disloyal
citizens, paid a tribute to the
doughboys, all fighting with any
equipment at hand; and every
one of them potential officers;
he urged the soldiers view of
broader humanity, with religious
and racial prejudices swept
away. They do not want any
red flag business; they just want
a safe, sound dependable govern
ment under the flag Of the Unit
ed States; and the world could
be sure of a conservative pro-
gressive government, moving as
fast as it should move, when all
the boys come home.... Pierre

why; carelessness over and over
again, ill management of fire
departments one thing or anoth-
er and excuses will always be
found.
But let us not stop here with
horrors alone. Let us 90 on and
muster our will power in trying
to prevent these horrors from
happening again. Let us speak
of the prevention of another Chi
cdgo fire or Minnesota forest
fire.
Let us first speak of fire pre-
vention in the homes. Let US
look at the chimney. Is it clean?
Has it,any flaws where a fame
could come out and set the lath
on fire? Look behind the ice box
in the attic, or some other unoc-
cupied corner, is it lathered with
paper and rubbish? l fear that
this will be the case with a great
many attics and other places.
What better place could the fire
bug find to nestle in and destroy
your home, please clean out all
the waste paper and rubbish for
your own health and safety.
Look at the match box is it in
a place where the youngsters
can get at it and start a fire.
Do you start your stove with
kerosene? If you do now, don't
do it again. Accidents will hap
pen. No telling what kerosene
will do and then you might take
the gasoline can by mistake and
then what? Everyone knows
what will happen. Don't send
children upstairs to light the
lamp. They like to fool with
matches, and children do not
take time to think.
Let me now speak to the hotel
manager, the movie manager and
managers of other amusement
places. Do you want to be haunt
ed in your dreams by the men,
ory of the lives that have been
lost because of your carelessness
because you have not provided
the proper methods of fire pre-
vention? See that you have plen-
ty of exits. See that you do not
have a light TOD close to the cur
tains or tapestry. Think Of what
Unopened ia the Chicago theatre
when the tapestry took fire. See
that you have some kind Of a fire

NURSERYMEN FIGHT
FLOWERS EMBARGO
Menace in Foreign Grown Plant
Ban June I Is
Cited
HIGHER PRICES FORESEEN

y government embargo against the
importation of foreign flowers and
plants to prevent the spread of malig
nant insects in this country which will
become effective June I was condemned
today by two prominent Philadelphia
nursrrymcn.
The new regulation. which has been
ordered by the Federal Horticultural
Board. permits the importation Of Eas-
ter lily bulbs from Japan and Holland
bulbs, including lilies. narcissus. tulips
and crocuses. Among the plants cut
be orchids, azalcas. snowdrops. dah
lias. peonies, iris, anemone. begonias,
gladiolus. glozinia. rhododendruns, box
wood, bay trees and palms.
at will take American growers years
to produce what are now ready in
Europe said J. Edward Moon of the
Moon nurseries and of the American
Nursey Association. 1T will take
number Of years. for example, to grow
box bushes. The suburban owners will
he deprived of what they have been
accustomed to buy for period Of ten
or twelve years. When America does
produce the plants which we will be
deprived Of. the cost will be higher
because of the higher wage rates.
"T doubt whether the nurserymen
will then enter on their production be-
cause there will be no security in the
undertaking due to the fear that the
embargo order may be removed at any
time. They are not likely to invest
large sums in this development to meer
the demand of the. consumers until
they are assured by tho government.
I'VE can grow these plants in Amer
lea. ! don't doubt that. Up to the
present time the growers Of the bulbs
have been reapng a profit. but after
the embargo they will lose the op-
portunity they have heretofore enjoyed.
Take fruit stalks as another example.
We have not been able to grow them
here with the same vitality stalks have
which are grown in France. We have
been handicapped in fruit production.
But this is less serious than is the
case with rhodcndruns or box wood.
1t takes four or five years to develop
these plants. The raising Of rhodo-
drums in California has been financial
failure.
Jacob ID. Eiscle. vice president OF
Henry A. Dreer Company. said; The
public will lose all these flowers. The
horticultural board has not the right
updcr the law crcateing it to exclude
flowers and plants in this general way.
1t can only exclude specific plant and
it must state definitely the insect sought
to be kept out of the country. 1t is
great hardship on the growers, who
have made thousands of dollars worth
Of purchases Of the foreign plants. 1t
is hardship also on the public, who
will be unable to obtain the beautiful
things they have seen abroad.
