Mr.. Gompers in his desire to hit
a Republican Congress gives an
awful swat at his dear friend and
political idol, President Wilson.
He denounces Congress for not
passing laws to check the prof.
teers and overlooks the fact en-.
tirely that Congress passed every
law suggested or asked by the
President. The trouble isn't with
a lack of law but with a lack of
law enforcement. And law en-
forcement. unhappily for Mr..
Gompers' politics and the public
interest, is vested entirely in the
hands of President Wilson. .--

IT'S A RISKY BUSINESS.

1t is strange that men will risk
liberty and even life to make
whiskey and peddle it. 1t surely
is a species of insanity, for it
seems no thinking man would be
attracted by such dangerous
business.
And it is decidedly unpleasant,
too, also to those who happen
to be in the vicinity. For in
stance, during the recent raid in
the Ebe nezer district. this coun-
ty, the people there say they al
most lived in misery. Previous
ly they had been annoyed only by
the DRINKS carousing at all hours
of the night and even into the
day, but when the revenue men
arrived there was bloodshed i'm
inent as a result of these men
persisting in a detestible busl-
ness. More guns" said one
man, were stacked in my sight
than | had ever seen before. "
And this caused the entire COM
munity to live in dread. People,
even against their better sense.
believed that a battle was pend
ing and imagined all sorts OF
bloodshed. This, Of course, was
very foolish, for revenue men
are not out to kill, but to capture
and put men who will moonshine
where they cannot injure society.
More unpleasantness is coming,
for revenue men anticipate some
rich hauls in Marion, and cap.
lures of moonshiners mean mon
ey to them. and of course, they
are not coming unarmed. They
are men who mean business,
sworn officers, and persistence
in the distilling business means
trouble and perhaps tragedies. |
This is word of warning be-
fore the thing eliminates ind
bloodshed. and those who are
monkeying with the buzz saw had
better let it alone.

PosIrIoNA6AINsr DIVORCE

An Amendment to the federal
constitution to prevent the re-
marriage of Divorces is a pro-
posal made by a New York socie'
ty for the upholding of the sane
tity of marriage. From the fact
that judges in various parts OF
the country have resigned and
are resigning from their benches
where afflicted with a plentitude
of divorce cases, both Disguised
with the general rottenness and
to avoid granting condition un-
fortunately fostered by law but
condemned by Christ and His
apostles, it is very evident that a
restriction of some kind is need
ed. Either Christ and the apos-
ties were wrong in their pro-
nouncements regarding divorce
and remarriage, or the civil law
is wrong. Both cannot be right
at the same time, for they are ex-
actly opposed, one forbidding,
the other permitting. 1t is, also,
condition that is daily getting
worse, and will get even more 80,
unless checked. Barnyard NOR
atty is not to be desired in these
United States, and perhaps some
of the downfalls of European ma
tions may be attributed in part to
the divorce evil. and the morali-
ty it fosters, a shameful general
laxity.
A divorced person, remarked,
should not have caste in a neigh
borhood. if the teachings of
Christ for better lives are of any
worth, for what He says is too
clear to be misunderstood.
Christ told the Pharisees when
they asked him if it was lawful
for a man to put away his wife
for every cause. that it was not;
and further added that whoever
did SO and married another com
mitted adultry.: St. Mark says
the same thing and also St. Luke.
And St Paul is equally as strong,
for he bids the separated couple,
in his Masters Name, to remain
unmarried.
One of our great candidates for
president might study these op.
inions to advantage, and if he
would believe the Scriptures and
follow them, he would surely
bow his headin shame. and with
draw from the race for the most
honored position in the United
States, that Of the head of the
nation. 1t is unfortunate that
this skeleton in the closet was
not discovered before nomination,
for it would be a national dis
grace to elect a man with such a
record to the presidency. |

DEFENDING HIGHWAY
ROBBERY.

President Wilson seemed to
take great delight recently in
Shaping the Congress of the
United States in the face in his
veto of the rider to the supply bill
which took out Of the executive
departments hands the govern
mental publications and placed
their control in the hands of a
committee of Congress. The
Journal Gazette, National Demo-
cratic Secretary Hoffman S paper,
has this to say about the veto:
For sick man" even bis enemies
must concede that there was quite a
noticeable punch in the message in
which he vetoed the impudent attempt
Of the Congress 40 establish censorship
over the publications of the executive
department Of the Government. The
manifest purpose OF this remarkable
rider to the supply bill was to prevent
the executive department, or the
President, who is at its head, from Civ
ing the people the result or conclusions
that may be distasteful to the peanut
politicians OF the the House and the
Senate.
The publications of the execu-
tive department, so touchingly
referred.to above, are 225 in num-
Der and are conducted at an ex-
pense of many million dollars a
year. Many of them are publ
cations which are devoted to boil
steering up the cause of President
Wilson's political policies and
favorites, and it may be said
without fear of successful con-
tradictisn that they represent the
employment of public money for
the furtherance of political party.
In other words, President Wilson
has not scrupled to raid the
federal treasury and use the
peoples money to promote the
cause of his own political cabal.
This shameless prostitution of a
public trust, degradation OF a high
office to serve private ends. is so
closely akin to common theft as to
shock the sensibilities of all right
thinking people.
The Government publications
in question could be reduced to
less than fifty and still serve
legitimate purpose of the Govern
ment. The great number main
tanned, however, to the embar.
rassment Of the federal treasury
and the wanton waste of the
country's white paper supply,
serve the dual purpose of scatter
ing propaganda for the Wilson
administration and of keeping in
fat federal jobs an unclean horde
of the Socialistic coolies with
whom our beloved President finds
such joy in consorting. The bill
aboishing the publications was
in the public.interest and |
the Presidents veto of it was
to a defense of the
robbery of the American
people. National Fool Killer.

PLAN is A SUCCESS

Thirty-two county farm bureaus of
the state are cooperating with Man
ley Champlin, extension agronomist
at State college, in the work of reg
istering South Dakota farm seeds of
the leading varieties.
The following counties have enter
ed into this work:
Beadle, Brown, Butte, Clark, Coi-
ington, Day, Deuel., Dewey. Edmonds,
Fall River, Faulk, Grant, Haakon,
Hand, Hughes, Jackson, Jerauld,
Jones, Kingsbury, Lake, Lawrence,
Lyman, McCook, Miner, Minnehaha,
Moody, Pennington, Sphinx, Stanley,
Union, Walworth, Yankton.
Ten thousand announcements and
application blanks have been sent out
Upon return Of these application
blanks to the county farm bureau, ar
rangements will be made to exam
inc the fields. Blanks have also
been mailed to all members of the
South Dakota Experiment associa-
ton, whether living in counties hav-
ing farm bureaus or not. Those ex-
pertinent association members living
in counties not yet provided with
farm bureaus will send their appli-
cations direct to the secrctary's Of
flee at Brookings and arrangements
will be made, if possible, to have
their fields examined.
Those varieties that are known to
give the best results in South Dakota
are the only ones eligible to registry.
In order to pass inspection, the fields
must be free from quack, dodder,
field bindweed, field snow thistle,
and Canada thistle.
There is always a shortage of good
seed Of adapted varieties. Seed reg
istration under this plan will help
solve the problem.

WEAVER EXPLAINS DISEASE

A common disease with an unfa-
miliar name causes considerable loss
in pigs every year in this state, says
DR.. G. S. Weaver, extension special
ist in animal diseases at State col
lege. The disease is technically
known as necrobacillosis. The direct
cause of the disease is germ called
necrophorus bacillis. This germ is
always present in the intestines of a
hog even when the hog is perfectly
healthy. When the hogs resistance
is lowered by outside conditions, the
germ becomes active and takes ad-
vantage of the hog. Probably muddy
yards and dirty hog houses help the
germs to get into action more than
other things, as germs live better in
damp places. Any irregular feeding
operations may give the hog indiges-
tion and thereby lower his resistance.
Necrobacillosis ordinarily occurs in
three forms, but the intestional form
10 tiV hloSl lIlpoI ldHl W De COnSlu-
cred at this time of the year. Hogs
that weigh from 40 to so pounds are
the most commonly affected. The
main symptom is a chronic diarrhea.
The animal drinks more water than
usual. The appetite is not usually
impaired to any great extent. AL
though the hog eats steadily he Just
as steadily wastes away. He has an
unstudy gait, which might cause sus-
picions of hog cholera, and it is i'm
portant to be sure that the two di-
seases are not confused.
To prevent this disease it is neces-
sary to keep up the hogs resistance
by providing the proper surround
ings. Keep the hogs out of mud if
possible. Give the affected animals
small doses of some internal anti
septic-coal tar dip can be used for
an emergency remedy. Isolate the
sick animals so that the feed of the
other pig will not be contaminated.

THE LATEST FAD

The latest fad in society is the tub
cure says the Onida Watchman. In
this the patient arises just as the
crisp air Of morning is mellowed by
the first sunbeam. An ordinary
waShtub is then filled with hot water
and soap suds, into which various
articles of linen are thrown. After
they are thoroughly saturated the pa
tient takes them up one at time and
rubs them briskly up and down on a
washboard placed in the tub. This
is kept up until the hands, arms and
face are a glowing pink. The patient
then goes into the open air and hangs
all the linen articles on a lire stretch
ed for that purpose. The one com
pleting the task first announces the
time to others over the telephone, and
is entitled to prize. 1t is exciting
sport and also invigorating exercise.

CROP REPORT

The northwestern crops have made
fine headwav the past week. The
weather has been fairly warm, with
plenty of rain for the places that
needed it. The districts tributary
to the Red River Valley in Minnesota
and North Dakota are too wet. There
are also other places in South Dakota
where the low spots are filled with
water
Montana has been especially fav-
ored with rain. Pastures and grain
fields there are growing in fine
shape, while a year ago at this time
they were almost burned up. The
present prospects in Montana indi-
cate sufficient feed for stock which
during the past four or five dry years
has suffered severely.
Grasshoppers are working in few
local spots in North Dakota, Mon
tana and South Dakota, but have
not developed rapidly because of the
cool and wet weather. We believe
that the damage from them this sea-
son will not be as serious as last
year. Owing to the late start of
small grains, many of the fields are
weedy. Wheat, as a rule, shows a
fine, even stand, with the exception
of fields that We're stubbled in Bar
ley and oats are excellent.
In the southern territory corn has
fine condition in spite of consid,
cradle rain. The seed this year was
exceptionally good and there are but
few fields with poor stands. In the
northern territory the crop is some
what backward and some fields are
quite weedy. Indications are for a
big crop in South Dakota and South
ern Minnesota. Unless we have a
late fall, much Of the corn in the
North is liable to be caught by frosts
but this can be cut for fodder.
Many good reports have been re-
ceived on the flax crop, especially in
South Dakota, Central and Eastern
North Dakota, where much Of it was
sown earlier than usual. In South
Dakota some Of it is over eight inches
high and the growth has been rapid.
With favorable weather, the flax
of the Northwest should show a very
decided increase over last season.
With few exceptions, there is plen-
ty of hay throughout the Northwest.
This will especially benefit Western
North Dakota and Montana where
farmers have been compelled to ship
in so much high-priced feed. Many
them because of the expense of feed
ing were compelled to sell their stock
at a sacrifice last year.

GILBERT WRITES CIRCULAR

A report of the barbcrry eradica.

two years in South Dakota, with
notes on the black stem rust, is con-
tanned in Extension Circular No. 33
"Barberry Eradication" now being
distributed by the extension division
of State college. Henry G. Gilbert,
barberry expert at the college, is the
author
The barberry eradication work in

riculture, office of cereal investiga-
tions, and the extension division and
agronomy department of State col
lege.
The life story Of the black stem
rust is given in this bulletin and the
five other rust disease Of grains
