The Sioux Falls Speech.
The President made pleasing
speech in Sioux Falls. simple in con-

He dealt in dignified restraint with the
Minnesota legislature, where he made
less of a stump speech and more of a
formal address. The Minnesota leg

the last to contribute to such re-
suit that Minnesota might be carried
by the Non-Partisan League in the
next election and that the whole
state may find itself in the same po-
sition as North Dakota.
In this section. therefore. where
radicalism is beginning to overflow
into neighboring states, the Presi-
dents speeches are odd confrma ton
of many of the arguments used by
the radicals during the war. The
President talks of the dangers of
trade rivalries and of the seeds of
commercial jealousy which were sown
before the late war, and does not hest
tate to say that big standing Army
and an expensive Navy will have to
be carried on the shoulders of tax
paying public if America decides to

Mr. Wilson has in mind, 1t is q fact
that the crowds are much less con-
cerned about the dignity of the SEN
ate of the United States than is any
one who lives in the atmosphere of
the National Capital. They are
passion for peace and guarantee
against further war that is electric
in it's flashes the moment the posi-
bility of more conflict in the world
is held up to them.
War Picture Scores.
Mr.. Wilson paints a picture of war
and he brings down the house. He
refers to the bereaved mothers and
wives and asks what they got out
of the war; he inquiries what the
American boys in France fought for
and when he suggests that they
fought to set up some kind of inter-
national organization that would put
stop to the war business the roars
of approval are outstanding marks of
comprehension and sympathy.
If there is any doubt of the stand
of the northwest. the strong inclina-
ton from the start of Senators Nell
son, Kellogg and McCumber toward
the covenant is the best index of the
clarity with which they have read the
public mind of their constituencies
Minnesota and the Dakotas gave Mr..
Wilson a great reception because they
approve of this cause. not necessarily
the political leader who espouses it.
The President on the other hand, took
pains to disclaim any political pur-
pose of a domestic character in his
journey and went much further in the
twin cities toward pointing out the
possibilities of the league of nations
as political issue than he ever did
