Perfect State Of Future

Here was another suggested thing
That in this democracy OF all nations,
the United States of the world, there
would be n lessened international eco
nomic competition. Naturally the larger
organization would follow the lines of
the smaller. and one could not think of
tariff walls between New York and
Pennsylvania. This was inference from
point three of the fourteen points, and
one easily made by a mind whose stand
ard of credence had been upset by the
insertion into II of the giant concep-
tion of a world without war and inti-
mately organized in universal harmony,
Nor was l alone in this inference. The
Republicans as party thought that
point three meant that there should be
no more tariffs and they made II cam
paign issue in the last congressional
election.
Senator Martin, the Presidents lead
er on the Senate floor, did not know
whether in this perfect state of the flu
ture there would be tariffs or not. No
more did Senator Hitchcock, an ex-
ceedingly able Democrat, who has since
succeeded TO the leadership Of his party
in the upper house. But they did know

An earlier disillusionment was the
Peace Conference itself. 1t was most
of the time the meeting of three men
around table. Soon the idea dawned
upon me that I was virtually then see
ing the league itself, that that was what
the league itself would be in actual
operation, three men around a table,
something like the meeting of the polit-
ical bosses that decides what the people
shall vote at the direct primaries. l
admitted to myself that / was a fool
even to have expected anything else
that nothing else was, humanity speak
ing, practical. But still there was the
regret. This was not a new thing, no
matter what they called it, but very
old thing not democracy, but what had
always existed even though there might
be democratic looking instruments for
carrying into effect the decisions reached
by the three men in the backroom.
Then there was the issue of pub
licity. "0pen covenants openly arrived

preted, that the press should see the
covenants after they had been arrived
at. This was playing fast and loose
with promises, eyea II they were Inn

-Four Baseball League
OF Four Teams in 5. D.

Huron, May 20.-The South Dakota
State Baseball league is now a four
team league. and the prospect is
bright for high class baseball this sea-
son in the four towns that have shown
their spirit by organizing the league
Huron. Redfield, Mitchell and Wa
tertown.
In Refield, the smallest town of the
four, a splendid record has been made,
enough money having been raised by
popular subscription by Redfield citi-
zens to finance the team throughout
the entire season IL not a cent is taken
in as receipts.
Two Of the largest towns of the
state-Sioux Falls and Aberdeen
have proved a great disappointment
to the fans who expected to make a
six-team league. Sioux Falls and Alb
erdeen seem to be entirely lacking in
the baseball spirit, although there
should be no question Of the game
paying out in both these towns.

Expect German Enjoys To Offer
Counter Treaty

Paris, May 20.-The Allies expect
to know fairly definitely within the
next "a hours whether the Germans
intend to sign the peace treaty. 1t is
believed their policy was fully deter
mined at the conference at Spa. Count
o Brockdorr- Rantzau, head of the
delegation, was accompanied by Max
Won Wesserman, one Of the managers
OF the Reichsbank, on his return to
Versailles Even II the Germans
have decided to sign ultimately, 1t is
not believed here that they will do
so before June 5 at the earliest. as
they probably will put in a counter
treaty Thursday. This will require
a week or longer for the Allies to an
swer. after which they would fix a
date for a definite yes or no.
The Allies answer to the Germans
economic notes refuses any change in
these clauses and denies that the Ger
mans are unable to support their pop
ulation, as they contend. The notes
point out. also. that the Germans
shipping losses comprise a burden
which the nation must bear as a PEN
atty for the submarine ravages, which
caused unemployment for thousands

Flandreau. May 2O.-Messrs. Nord

oil and gasoline, are quite emphatic in
the opinion that the title of being the
meanest man in the state belongs to
an unknown, who picked locks on the
valves Of the pipes running from their
kerosene and gasoline tanks. AS a
result OF the lock tampering 5000
gallons OF gasoline and 5000 gallons
Of kerosene became mixed. The pro-
duct will have to be sold at a loss
which will amount to a considerable
sum. Efforts are being made to as
certain the identity Of the guilty per-
son.

Black and Yellow Assn
To Hold Annual Meeting

A big gathering Of good roads build
ers is being staged to come off at
Pierre. South Dakota on June 9Th. 1t

delegation from every n Of the coun-
tics interested. Announcements OF the

Secretary o. M. Phelps of Huron to-
day. An urger. call has been extend

represented by a big delegation. Many
automobile men and interested citizens
have already signifed their intention
of attending.
In making the above announcement
Secretary Phelps stated that this was
to be a business meeting and not ne
c~essarily a boosters meeting. We are
not going to talk about good roads,
we are going to build them. 1t is
expected hat the State Highway Com
mission will be petitioned to designate
the Black and Yellow Trail as State
Highway Number One, and to begin
at once an extensive construction pro-
gram. Already several projects have
been approved by the Highway Com
mission, and 1t expected that construc-
ton crews will be started at nee.
Special arrangements are being made
by the Pierre Commercial Club to
entertain the boosters.
Questions of policy for al latter the
war program" will be discussed. Eff
forts will be made to have an able
speaker explain the matter of county
highway systems. At this meeting al
SO the Board of Directors and officers
for the coming a will be elected A
President, Vice President, Secretary
and Treasurer will be elected at large
from the state, and a vice president
for each county through which the
trail passes will be nominated and

So. Oak. Farm Land
Close to $500 Per Acre

Sioux Falls Argus-When Mike Ger
in about a year ago sold his farm near
Garretson for $3.50 per acre, it was be-
lieved that the high water mark for
farm land in 1Sinnehaha county had
been reached. The man who gave
$3.50 per acre for the farm has the
past week disposed of his holdings for
$275 per acre, and the Garretson News
Is authority for the statement that
there Is another purchaser in sight
who is ready to pay $500 FER acre for
the same land. In this connection it
might be stated that Mike Germ of
this city has the past week refused
an offer of $3.50 per acre for a farm
of 400 cares which he owns and which
is located a short distance north of
Garretson.
About 10 years ago B. l.. Conover
purchased 80 acres of land near VAL
ley Springs for SIS per acre. A few
days ago he put a price Of 1885 per

South Dakota Memorial
Drive Next Sunday

Memorial Sunday, May 25th is the
day set apart for the house to house
v for the fund to erect the Mem
orial to South Dakota's men who serv-
ed in land or sea in the world war.
Coming Immediately upon the return
of the States regiment from the vic
torious front, it is felt that our people
with one accord will desire to in this
wise recognize their valor.
The wisdom of erecting at this time
a memorial that shall stand not for
a few years, but forever as a testi-
monial Of the owe of the people OF this
state for their brave sons: as a shrine
to which the children of the sunshine
state, for many centuries to come will
make pilgrimages to read there the
names and deeds of their ancestors
must command itself to all persons OF
broad views and far seeing vision.
The committee provided by law to
promote this splendid enterprise has
been untiring in its efforts to bring
the purpose of the legislature to the
attention of all of the people and to
effect an organization which shall at
the same hour give all of the people
an opportunity to contribute their love
offering. 1t is hoped and believed that
the c~anvassers will be gladly welcom-
ed In every home next Sunday.
