its reliance on the fomenting of civil
wars in other countries, they may be-
gin to understand why the treaty pro-
vides certain safeguards against Ger
many. They have cried aloud that
il enslaves the German workingman;
leaders of the proletariat have COM
planned that, while the working classes
are condemned to serve for. the benefit
OF the foreigner, German capitalists
are untouched. Surely this is a mat
ter for the Germans themselves; the
German nation has done, but it rests
with the Germans to decide what
classes shall bear the heaviest part
of the burden. 1t is significant that
an American correspondent in Berlin
reports the old governing classes, the
men who have made public opinion,
as unanimous in protest, but says that
nothing has been heard from 1.-The I'M
derfed bulk of the German people,"
The German people, from highest to
lowest, stood by ~consenting to the
devastation of Belgium; they refused
inquiry into the atrocities of their
armies, they applauded the sinking of
the Lusitania; they made no protest
against the butchery of the Armeni-
ans. Only when it comes to making
Germans pay is their sense of justice
outraged.

BUILD NOW!

Set your money to work on build
Ing a home of your own. This is the
period of readjustment, and idle dol
lars are as detrimental to the nation
al welfare as idle men.
Building is a basic industry: To
build a home, aside from the obvious
benefits to the home owner, is to make
an important and direct contribution
to national readjustment and recon
struction.
First, the country needs thousands
of homes. After that the home build
er creates a demand for stone, bricks,
lumber, hardware, concrete, paint, ETC.,
money circulates-only blood that
circulates makes for health. Building
absorbs labor. That is of prime i'm
portance right now when thousands OF
soldiers are being released from the
army and industry is in transition
from the war to peace gear.
Your money, invested in building
a home, works for your permanent
prosperity and welfare and at the
same time renders a not less tangible
service &c your country. Put your
money to work-BUILD NOW.

OBJECT TO PIERRE SHAFT

Something of "a sensation was
Campbell, an attorney of Aberdeen,

State Historical Society, declining TO
act as chairman for Brown county
in the drive for subscriptions for the
proposed $500, 900 building as a men,
orial to South Dakota soldiers and
sailors, to be erected at Pierre.
The memorial plan originated in the
South Dakota legislature by State Sen
ator Robert o. Schaber, Of Hudson,
s. D., and Gov. Peter Norbeck is state
chairman OF the committee to raise
funds by voluntary subscriptions for
the memorial building.
Brown county's quota is $26, 900, and
Mr.. Campbell advises Mr.. Robinson
that. after interviewing members of
the Aberdeen Commercial club. the
Aberdeen Rotary club. and other prom
inent citizens of Aberdeen and Brown
county. he is confident that not more
than $4,000 or $4,000 at the outside,
could be raised in the county for such
a movement, pointing out that the
people of the state seldom visit Pierre
except OIL business, and the general
feeling in Brown county is, and cor
respcndence with other sections of
the state, leads him to believe it Is
general, that a more appropriate man
ner in which to pay homage to the
soldiers in the great war would be
through local or county memorials,
rather than a half million dollar mem.
orial building at Pierre, which the ma
jority Of the contributors to the fund
would never see.

Ing that the Treaty could not De

President Wilson cited the terri

an example of the sort of tasks which
he asserted only concert of nations
could accomplish. The League was
to be the instrumentality. he said,
"bv which the goods are to be de-

radicalism," the President declared
the only way to keep men from agi-
move the grievances. AS long as
things are wrong" he said. he did
not intend to ask that men stop
agitating, begging only that they use
orderly methods.
He said radicalism meant cutting
up by the roots" a process that
would be unnecessary il ''noxious
growths" were removed.
When the President was intro
duced by Governor Sam Stewart at
his night address here, the crowd
stood up and cheered.
Mr.. Wilson said that the issue
after all was whether the sacrifice
of the war would be in vain. The
task of those who fought was only
half done, he declared, and If the
Treaty was not put into effect men
like these will have to die again"
Why U. S. Entered War
The United States. said the Presi-
dent, did not go into this war will
ingly and the Nation had tried to
convince itself that the European
business was not our business" But
presently, he continued, it became
apparent that civilization itself was
at stake.
I'VE fought Germany" he con-
tinued. that the world might be
a fit place to live in. And the world
will not be fit place to live in as
long as any great power can do what
Germany did"
Under the League, asserted Mr..
Wilson, there would be no oppor-
tunity for a people to be thrown into
war without their consent. But if
the League failed he declared the
United States would be deliberately
guilty of preparing a situation
which would bring on the final world
