PETITION NEW SURVEY

The Sioux river valley will get no
immediate relief from the vagaries of
the Sioux river and thousands of acres
of the most fertile land in the state
will undoubtedly remain useless and
untillable for want of proper drainage
for another season. The county COM
missioners at the last Of the postponed
meetings last Thursday accepted the
bonds offered by the objectors to the
Sioux river ditch project No. and
their petition for another survey Of
the river valley to estimate the cost
and feasibility of Strengthening the
course of the river by cutting off the
bends instead of digging a straight and
separate ditch a short distance west
of the river as was recommended by
the state engineer and the city engi-
neer. The bonds and the petition were
sent to the state engineer, H. NJ. Derr,
at Pierre, and the commissioners have
adjourned pending reply from him.
This in effect is equal to a legal
injunction and will no doubt effec-
lively prevent any work on the drain
age project this year.
The merits of the scheme of cutting
Of the bends of the river as stated by
the objectors are that it will be a good
deal less expensive to dig and will not
cost the county as. much in damages
to agricultural land in the right Of
way since the river bed will be largely
utilized. The merits of Sioux river
ditch No. as stated by the engineers
are that it is straight and will be
therefore much shorter than the other
ditch, it will be in basin that is
lower than the river itself and will
therefore give more effective drain
age, and finally, it has the approval
Of the state engineer The approval
of the state engineer is a vital point
in projects of this kind, since the
county commissioners cannot assess
taxes to pay for engineering projects
not approved Another point Of in
terest Is that the state engineer, Mr..
Derr, was at one time an instructor
at State college and is familiar with
the valley and the history Of the river.
1t is to be expected, therefore, that
he knows which is the best course to
pursue and his opinion should be re-
ceived as competent by the landown,
ers of this county.

SERMON FILLS AUDITORIUM

at a religious gathering in this city
mon at the college auditorium last
Sunday morning which was delivered
by DR.. Vernon =. SQuires, dean of the
college of liberal arts of the university
State College
LAS privilege involves duty was
the motto of the gallant medieval
knight; il should be the motto of every
high minded young man or woman in
America today" said Doctor Squires
which was the keynote OF his sermon.
His subject was The implications of
Privilege" and his text: "All Uhngs)
are yours; and ye are Christ's; and
Christ's is Gods" l Cor III, 1928.
"lf Paul could thus address a little
struggling church in the heart Of a
heathen city in the year 81" he asked,
what would he say TO a company of
choice spirits gathered in a great insti-
tuition of learning in free and enlight-
ened America in the year 1920 at the
beginning of century the oppor-
tuities Of which battle all analysis; in
America, the most fortunate of ma
tions; in college, the favorte abiding
place OF the forces of enlightenment
and progress. 1t seems to me that his
words have gathered strength with the
centuries and that they come to us to.
day with ten-fold force and inspiration.
What is to be the answering call?
How are the thousands of young men
and women who this year are pouring
out from college halls, diplomas in
hand, to make reply? What should be
their attitude and purpose? What
are the implications Of the privileges
they have enjoyed?
TOO many. Of course, it will seem
natural to take the greatest possible
personal advantages OF these oppor-
tunities. The possession Of privilege
makes privilege sweet. The overflow
ing hand is all to likely to become
more grasping. A pampered palate is
impatient for fresh dainties. Es-
pecially in these post bellum days does
the pleasure seeking, selfish spirit
seem singularly strong.
"If you and | have more privileges
than our forebears, does not the credit
belong to others rather than our
selves? How can we in a measure meet
the obligation and reduce the debt ?
That surely Is the thought of every
high-minded youth as he steps for
ward into active life.
81 think the implications of our text
are now pretty clear Privilege involV-
es obligation; by fulfilling our obliga-
| tions we ally ourselves with God. and,
as it were, tune our little life harps
to the great Universal harmony; and
thus we save our souls.
"Oh young men and women of this
graduating class, rejoice that you are
| living in this great age, and that so
many things are yours. But remember
what il is that really counts; be true
! to your brothers whose spirit is sig
nified by yonder stars; be true to the
spirit of Jesus Christ, and always be
! lieve with one of our greatest Ameri-
cans, that though Right sometimes
seems to be on the scaffold, and Wrong
upon the throne,
yet that Scaffold sways the Future
and behind the dim unknown
| Standeth God within the shadow, keep
| ing watch above his own"
