The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1920-08-12

A political spell binder. who was
introduced as Prof. Bushnell, o
Yankton College, gave harangue on
the street here last week Wednesday
night, in the interest of the non-part-
isan league. 1t was typical dry goods
box harangue, with apparently no
point to it except to arouse antago-
nism to the government. create the
impression that every one who has
ever been connected with our govern
mental affairs was scoundrel, and
without proposing any logical rem
edy for evils which everyone knows
exist, simply advised the voters to
put their trust in the non partisan
league. He referred to the numerous
sales of grain made on the board of
trade, and tried to carry the impress.
aion that every sale added to the
price of the grain that the consumer
has to pay. Any school boy knows
that grain may be sold dozen times
on the board of trade in one day, and
the price paid on the last sale be less
than the first. One of the most dis.
reputable charges that he made was
that the steel trust had ordered the
supreme court to declare that divid.
end stocks we're not subject to the in.
come tax, and after getting the rul-
ing the magnates proceeded to dis
tribute their surplus earnings in the
form of dividend stock. The speaker
who impugns the motives Of the su-
preme court, or charges it with cor
rupt practice, is not only guilty of
criminal elander and contempt of
court, but he is sowing the seeds of
anarchy. When confidence in our
courts is destroyed, and the people
believe that they can not get justice
in them. we shall have anarchy We
do not know what position this speak
er holds in Yankton College. He
may be janitor. but whatever posi-
tion he holds, he is a menace to the
school. 1t is a crime to have the
boys and girls who attend our schools
corrupted by such disloyalty, and
Yankton College owes it to it's own
good name to rid itself of such inAu j..
ences.

From the sprin gfield Times.

Mrs. Helen Pattee left Saturday
for Scotland, where she will spend q
few weeks at the home of her daugh-
ter after which she goes to Redwing
MINI where she will be employed
in the c;.- schools as supervisor Of
the grades Mrs. Pattee will be
missed from our schools which she
has .erved for 30 many years.
Mrs. E. S. Richards went to Nor
folk, Nebr. last week. on business,
and to, see some relatives, leaving her
four children in charge of Mrs. M
j. Wagner at her home in the south
part of town While she was away
man came claiming to be her broth
er and was apparently much di,ap-
pointed to find her absent. After
talking short time he proposed to
take the two older children up town
for some ice cksam. But when he
came up town he Immediately engag-
ed an auto livery to take him and the
children to Yankton, where he caught
the train for Sioux City.
1t was some time before it was re.
allied by Mrs. Wagner what had tax.
enplace and by the time she had noti-
fed authorities the man had made his
getaway with the children. Mrs.
Richards returned the following day,
accompanied by hei father in law of
Norfolk and upon being informed of
what had occurred, went wild with
grief. 1t was then learned that the
man was the father of the children
and is located on a farm in Canada.
Apparently he desired possession of
the children and used this method Of
getting them.
It will be remembered that Mrs.
Richards husband died last winter
with influenza, south west Of town.
This summer she purchased a house
in Springfield and had gone to Nor.
folk on business in connection with
her newly acquired home In con-
versation with Mr.. Richards Sr. this
morning we were informed that au.
thorities are hard on the trail of the
man with the two children and all
Efforts will be eXerted in bringing
him back, If he has succeeded in
getting across into Canada it will re-
quire long process to extricate him
but the mother and her father.in.law
propose to do every thing in their
power to again get possession Of the
children.

Civilization in victorious nations
marked out the path of enduring
peace for the future by including TIE
covenant Of the League of NationG in
the treaty signed at Versailles June
%, 1919. Sioux City Tribune.
Thirty two nations have ratified
that measure Of enduring peace, =
and It has been in operation now over
year. We do not recall that there
has ever been time when more ma !.
tions were Mt war than there are at
this time, and press reports say that
the conditions cow in Europe are
more menacipg than they were in
1914. Whsa has become of the in.
fluence of this enduring peace"
treaty? Its supporters claim that its
failure to function is due to the fail
ure Of the United States to join tile
league. Such claim can be cup
ported on the theory that the United
States is wise enough to satisfactory
ly adjust all differences Between for
eign countries, and powerful enough
to enforce its decrees. Such claim
is based upon supreme egotism and on
an unworthy desire to make the Unit
= ed States the ruler of the world.

The right of farmers to engage in
cooperative methods of purchas ing
supplies and of marketing their pro.
ducts is not questioned, and in many
communities this custom may result
in great advantage. But this is very
different from the non-partlsan league
plan of having the state engage in
those enterprises. Cooperation is a
straight business system. state opera
tion means political, socialistic, and
:class Liquidation.

that two young fellows from Kansas,

vest fields, tipped it off to the officials
concerning the theft. at about the
same time merchants noticed fellows,
who did not look like farmers, selling
eggs. Deputy Marshal Link was no.

A belt for the use Of swimmers
and life savers has been invented
BY Robert N. Watts, Rock Island
Christian Science praetitioner. With
ofaces IN the State Bank building.
The patent has inst bean granted.
The belt has several unusual
features. n is made in three sec
lions which are fastened together
with . belt. It IL small and COM
pact enough that 1t can be worn
under q bathing suit and offers NO
interference whatever to the swim
mer. It is the only belt patented
that can be worn thus.
The floss found in the pods Of
milkweeds was the material used
by Mr.. Watts in furnishing the belt
it, buoyAncy. . material never be-
fore used. Other belts have been
made with kapoc, . similar weed
floss growing on the island Of Java.

The invention can be made &C.
cording to the weight Of the swim
mer, q slight increase in thickness
enabling 1t to buoy up several ad-
ditional pounds. A further advan-
tage is that It does not lose any Of
It's buoyant quality, although left
In the water for several days, and
it is not subject to puncture as are
inflated life belts.
Its inventor has always been An
enthusiastic swimmer, having
swan the Mississippi at the age Of
is. Last summer Mr.. Watts swan
from Campbell's island to the Iowa
side, wearing the belt, while in the
course OF experimentation.
It took him four years to perfect
the invention. He expects to place
