no reason why we should enter it;
that Ex-presidc Taft was once a.
gainst the United States enterting
the Leagu of Nations. Now he is
for it. He hardly knows himself
what he really does want.
The United States has never, here
tofore, acknowledged any master.
She should not do it now. She has
always had the kind of government
she wished to have-a government
of the people, by the people, and fol-
the people. This is no time to make
this government of the people, by

displaced by a government controlled
largely by European Monarchs and
Asiatic Despots." Senator Borah, OF
Idaho, declares that the league would
abrogate the Monroe Doctrine, in
volve America in all world conflicts
and compel submission of vital Am,
erican questions to foreign tribu-
nal. Among the vital American ques-
tions are: Monroe Doctrine, immi-
grafton, Destruction of American
Ships, border disputes, seizure and
search of American seamen, defense
of the Panama Canal, and the seiz-
ure of the canal.
England will be very likely to DOM
mate the league and, on all questions
the United States will be overwnelm-
ingly outvoted. France is greatly in
debted to England. So are Italy and
Japan. Naturally these countries
will have to do as England thinks
best for them to do. Now the Unit
ed States would have to do just what
the other countries, or England says.
for with the other countries on the
side with England, she would con.
troll a majority. So the United
States would not have any power at
all to say what should be done in the
league.
The League of Nations will be q
great movement for international.
ism. Even the very fangs of Boil
shevism are very plainly visible in
the league constitution. Shall oul
nationalism be stricken down and
internationalism be put in the place
of it? And, shall our true, indepen.
dent democracy come under the con.
troll, either in whole or in part, OF
foreign monarchs or foreign Bolshe.

sheviks.
Some of my opponents who favor
the entrance of the United States
into the League of Nations may say
that the league will bring liberty to
all nations by uniting against one
country who starts war and putting
an end to the war.
But how are they going to know
who started the war? There is no
nation who will stand up and say
that she was the cause of the war or
that she started it. I should like for
my opponents to tell us how they
think that the league will stop war
with war. Merely joining the league
will not, by any means, keep coun-
tries from carrying on war. "Shall
we surrender by the pen what Wash
ington gained by his sword? No
very long period of time has ever
elapsed in which there was no war
of some kind being carried on some
time or some where. There will al
ways be wars as long as this world
exists, and United States soldiers
would be continuously going to some
foreign countries to help try to stop

LITTLE MISSOURI
INTEREST REVIVED In IRRIGA-
TION PROJECT.

Belle Fourche, Jan. 3.-Interest is
again being revived in the Little
Missouri irrigation project" which is
proposed to locate in the Camp Crook
section. There is a large section of
level land up there, which, it is
claimed, can be irrigated at a COM
p%aratively reasonable cost, and which
would wonderfully develop that coun-
try. Since the great success of the
Belle Fourche irrigation project
which Is still but in it's infancy, there
have been very earnest efforts put
forward to develop the Little Mis-
souri, project. Prof. Towle who has
been working here most of the sum-
mer on a proposition of ~enlarging the
capacity of the Belle Fourche project
has most of the work done, and will
spend the remainder of the winter
developing maps and charts from his
field notes, and complete the survey
ing in the spring.

SOUNDS cheerful
SOUTHWESTERN, SOUTH DAKOTA
PEOPLE HAVE CAUSE FOR
CONGRATULATIONS.

Belle Fourche, Jan. 3.-One of the
years was experienced in western
South Dakota up TO within four DAYS
of Christmas, when snow set in and
in this vicinity fell to the depth of
from 5 to IA inches. Christmas was
all anyone could wish for in the way
of ~whiteness, for the ground was not
bare anywhere. Thursday and Fri
day two-thirds of the snow melted
before a Chinook wind, the tempera-
ture changing Saturday to below zero
and a blizzard for late Sunday after
noon, the thermometer dropping to
below zero. This is the first weather
that any stock have had to be fed,
and puts the ranchers and farmers
far enough along to insure them
safely through until grass comes
again, unless from this on an ex-
tremely hard winter should be ex-
perienced.
This year has more than v e. CIV
en- evidence that this section is no
longer an exclusively stock country,
although this is the principal indus
try, and except for a limited area
where crops T absolutely assured
by irrigation, and will continue to be
for many years yet. But it is safe
to say that since the middle of Sep
TENDER there has hardly been an hour
that there has been no one waiting
his turn to unload wheat at the Tri-
State mills in this city. Often the
street for a block on either side OF
the mill has been blocked, and the
man who succeeded in the months OF
! October and November in getting his
load into the elevator the same day
he came into town was considered
lucky.
