CLIFFORD PINCHOT has com

CLIFFORD PINCHOT has come
and gone. Expressions of disap-
pointment have been heard about
his speech. Some expected to hear
a wonderful orator. a platform
speaker of great ability. Some had
thot him a man after the Teddy
Roosevelt type, a speaker full of
vim. vigor and the fire-eating
characteristics for which he is
known. Some expected a smooth
speaking politician, whose words
can have from one to four meanings
at the n tine and seemingly to tit
only the one. Some wished for an
old time campaign meeting where
the man on the stump violently and
vehemently declared his candidate
to be an angel on earth and accused
his opponents of every crime on the
calendar to the tune of the brass
band and the glare of the red
torches. Picnhot was one Of these.
He is a specialist. a student Of man
and nature, devoting his time to
the conservation of our natural re-
sources and to the interests of the
people. He looked like a professor,
or perhaps a farmer. tall, gaunt
and rambling, as Of the Lincoln
type. His hair vas gray, and his
attire and general appearance GER
tainly did not impress one as being
one Of the type expected. His
work for the past ten years has
been with the National Farmers or
ganization and this point of view
he was speaking. The one out
standing point of his speech was
the sincerely and earnestness with
which the words rang. No one
could doubt but that he sincerely
believed every statement he made,
bringing home the proof with facts
which no one could deny. The
little snatches of intimate life at
the White House and in connection
with Leonard Wood gave every
listener a new thot and viewpoint
Of the presidential candidate. On
the whole, Clifford Pinchot com
mands the respect of the audience
which heard him, not as an orator,
a platform specialist, or as a poll.
tican making stump speeches., but
as a man who has a conviction
which he gave in a commonsense
undeniable sincerely.

GOVERNOR NORBECK is


big mar with a fine record behind
him-and what's more he isn't
afraid of the cars. One day he
has a tilt with the Townley outfit
and shows them where South Da-
has mor sanely progressive, prac-
teal and beneficial laws than the
sister state. The next thing we
find him putting up his record for
a business administration against
that of Governor Lowden in Hi
nois, and then we find him deliv-
ering speeches in which he goes
unqualifiedly on record for Leon
ard Wood. A more timid politi-
clan, seeking honors for himself,
would have been more likely to
have been neutral. But Norbeck
is neither timid nor neutral and
no pussy-footer. And after all,
these are the qualities that the
people of South Dakota want in a
man who seeks to represent them
in the United States Senate at
this critical time. If there ever
was a time when the United States
senate needed men of vigor, men
of conviction, and men who are
not waited about by every polit-
ical breeze that blows, it is right
now. Everybody may not agree
with Norbeck at all times but
they respect him and believe in
his ability. his honesty and his
sincerity.-Mobridge Tribune.

Senator Meyer Says Country Needs
Man Like Leonard Wood Who
ID Uncontaminated.

B. F. Myer, state senator from Nc
publican national convention. while
visiting at Sioux Falls said that he
was strongly supporting Leonard
Wood as a candidate for the nomina
ton for president at the South Da-
kota primaries on March 23rd. Sena-
tor Myers declared that his reasons
for favoring Mr.. Wood were:
First. because he knew the needs OF
the Northwest.
Second, because the presidency re-
quires a nan with the training which
Mr.. Wood has to decide the big is
sues of today.
Third, because he has executive and
administrative ability.
Fourth. because there is too much
business in politics already and we
work for the best interests OF his
country.
Senator Myers, who is a former resi-
dent OF Illinois. spent his entire life
there prior to Is years ago. when he
came to South Dakota. said that the
sentiment in McCook county was in
favor Of Wood for president in pref
erence to all the other candidates.
Most OF the former service men are
favorable to Wood" he said, "in

would not support a military man

celve a large majority. Woods popu
larity is increasing daily in McCool

voters there can be taken as a criti
cism, he will easily receive the ma

GRAVEL AND concrete roads in
Cerro Cordo county, Iowa, have
had a thoro tryout. The county
commissioners of that county are
apparently quite practical. for they
have kept a record of maintenance
Of the two kinds Of roads with
startling results. For five and a
half miles out of Mason City they
have had a gravel road for the past
three years One of the supervis.
ors stated that the cost of maintain
ing this road for the years 1917 and
1918 was Sl,23z.60 per mile. In
comparison with this, he reports
that the cost of maintaining a con-
crete road running out Of the same
city, over the five year period fol-
lowing 1918, was an average for
the six miles of $3l.5O per mile.
There is a striking difference in
these figures. He went on to say
that they had spent an average Of
over $1,000 per mile in trying to
maintain the gravel road, and today
have nothing to show for the
money, while they have spent ibut
$3.50 per mile on the concrete
road. and it is in first class condi-
ton. It has cracked here and
there. but has not gone to pieces.
The expense is in maintaining that
part Of it where the cracks have
appeared. and they are not becom.
ing any worse. The concrete slabs
show very | title wear. Minnehaha
county would have profited materi-
ally had it been equally conversant
with the value Of q gravel road.
The county might not have had any
better roads, but q large sum would
have been saved and roads would be
no worse. than they ever
were.-Sioux Falls Journal.

good out of six tried men with rowing
commissions than he could from the
present force of III deputy wardens
Yet he was not opposed to the idea Of
having deputy game wardens if the
right men could be found for the posi-
tons. The difficulty is to find the right
men and to secure an impartial en-
forcement Of the laws without fear or
favor.
The fish and game departments up
building was explained by the speaker
at some length. The real beginning of
the department was about so years
ago. Prior to that time there had been
hit or miss legislation respecting reg
ulation of fishing and hunting, most of
it having special reference to fish be-
cause in the early days more attention
was paid TO fishing laws than to hunt
ing laws. But in 1869 the fish and game
department began to take shape and
gradually a system has been built up,
FISH hatcheries have been established,
waters have been stocked with the fish
which would thrive best in those par
ticular waters and game of various
sorts have been introduced and devel-
oped.

thing as a money panic. The federal reserve banks have this matter in con trol and when your banker refuses to give you assistance he is doing so on his own initiative. It is a fact, and also a mighty wise thing. that the banks are declining loans for specula- tive purposes.
 There is a serious weakness in the American people in not estimating the real importance Of their trade position. They allow themselves to become cas- fly influenced one way or another. There has been altogether too much speculation, too much indulgence in luXuries. and too much promotion of industries that administer luxuries. All these influences contribute to an un- healthy condition and though they will hardly cause a catas trophe, the time is coming when they are gradually being set to one side
 There is q constant retrenchment against these evils and we believe each man in a business position should help to influence his associates along the lines of a big volume of legitimate business at a minimum overhead.
