and wrongs of $50 years ago and

the names and deeds of those
who helped to found this Repub-

heritage of liberty. And this is
what Muzzey's History does.
July 4. 1919, Lord Northcliffe
in the London Times urged an
efficient propaganda" to create
good will for England in the
United States. using the press,
tho church, the stage. the Uni
versities and the public schools.
He also urged subsidizing able
men to write books, the addition
OF new books in our primary
schools and that histories and
text books should be revised.
In 1920 Muzzey revised his his
tory Of the United States. In that
revised edition he gives fourteen
pages in a book Of 35 papes to the
American revolution. On page 30.
edition Of 1920. he says:
''This great event has too often
been represented as the unanimous
uprising of q downtrodden people
to repeal the deliberate, unpro-
voked attack Of a tyrant upon their
liberties; but when thousands Of
people I'm the colonies could agree
with q noted lawyer Of Massachu-
setts that the revolution was n
'causeless, wanton, wicked rebel.
Hon. and thousands Of people in
England could applaud Pitts de-
nunciation Of war against America
as barbarous, unjust, and diaboli-.
cal,' It is evident that, at the time,
at least, there were two opinions as
to colonial rights and British op-
preston"
He declares that "the cause OF
the revolution was a difference OF
opinion as to the nature Of the
British Empire" (p. 1867 Ridpath
says 1t was ''The right OF arbitrary
government claimed by Great Brit
ain and denied by the colonists"
and, among other causes, mentions
parliamentary "acts destructive Of
colonial liberty"
BATTLE OF LEXINGTON.
Muzzey says OF the battle Of
Lexington that the British Major
Pitcairn ordered "the rebels" to
disperse and that Then came a
volley of musket shots, apparently
without the majors orders" pags

the denaturing influence of Lord
Northcliffe's propaganda for re-

SUICIDE LEAVES
MUCH PROPERTY
WATERFOWL MAN HAD $4,000
INSURANCE AS WELL AS CON.
SIDERABLE LAND

Watertown, Feb. 11.-A life in
surance policy for $4,000 will put
the affairs of A. J.. Struckman who
took his own life by opening all the
gas burners and shutting himself in
the kitchen of his home here Mon
day night, in such shape that his
heirs will receive a fortune in land
and city property according to state
ments made here by his sons who
came from Hazel to arrange for his
funeral service. The life insurance
policy and his property holdings came
to light in will he had drawn just
two weeks before his death.
In connections with revelations
made in his will, 1T has been learned
that Struckman once was a well-to-do
farmer and lated land dealer of Ha-
eel, whose suicide here Monday clos
ed the final chapter of story of i'll
fortune through the last two or three
years.
To his four sons, Lorenzo, Bur
dette and Erwin of Hazel and Daniel
in the navy, Struckman leaves four
quarter sections of farm land in
| Meade county and another quarter
| near Bison, s. ID. Two eight-acre
tracts near Hazel are willed to an
other son, Roy, and daughter Eva.
His city property, consisting OF
three homes and a plumbing build
| ing is -willed to his wife, formerly
Belle Moench, whom he married at
Willow Lakes after both had been
placed under bond here last Septem-
Der for the manufacture of intoxicat-
ing liquor.
Struckman, who was Sd years old,
evidently had planned his death for
| several days. His wife said she
found him sitting before the kitchen
gas range a few days ago with the
burner open. He told her he liked
the smell. He had already given in
structions for his funeral arrange-
| ments.
The body was shipped to Rock Ra-
pids, Iowa.

Hearing On The
Railroad Rates

Pierre. Feb. 1.-THE South Da-
kota board of railroad commissioners
have assigned for hearing at Huron
on February 81, a general investiga-
tion into the question of rates on
sand, gravel, crushed stone, building
stone, brick, building tile, cement
blocks and drain tile between points
within the state, for the purpose OF
fixing reasonable rates on these COM
modities. This hearing will be of in
terest to builders and dealers in
these materials.
Many objections have been filed
to existing rates on these commodl-
ties and the investigation has been
initiated by the board for the pur-
pose of examining in comprehen-
sive way the rates applying through
out the state.
Shippers throughout the state have
been notified of the hearing and VIII
be represented and representatives oi
the carriers will also be present to
testify on the behalf of their rail
roads.
The traffic department of the
board is preparing large amount Of
data bearing on the subject in an eff
fort to secure more reasonable rates
on the commodities taken up in the
hearing.

STATE HIGHWAY
MAP ISSUED SOON

ITO ASK FOR MARKERS

Pierre, Feb. 1.-THE new state
highway map which will be published
by the state highway commission will
soon be ready for the engraver and
will be ready for distribution to the
touring public before the opening OF
the next tourist season.
This map will be of great value to
automobilists as 1t will be detailed in
every respect, not only showing prin.
cipal highways and secondary auto
roads, but will show sections of road
graveled, making it possible for the
tourist to tell exactly what kind of 6
road is ahead of him.
The state highways will be mum
bered on the. map, the number Il
correspond with number markers
which will be used in the future
though it is doubtful If all highway
will be able to be marked in this
way before the next tourist season.
1t. is probable that the next legis
lature will be- asked to- make law,
governing use OF markers on high
ways, the plan to be to allow the
marking of trails by highway associa
tion markers and such markers a.
municipalities may desire to install
the object being to make the mark
ers uniform in size and prevent tn,
maize of confusing signs which otter
meet the tourist in some localities
The highway commission wants /;
marker that will allow the touris
to read as he runs.
The map, however, is expected Il
be such that even If the markers ar
not installed this season, present trai
markings may be followed with eas,
when the map is used.

|NCREASEDP PRICES
AID TO FARMER
SECRETARY WALLACE DECLAR-
ES SOIL TILIlER HAS RIGHT
TO AN EVEN BREAK.

New York, Feb. 11.-Increased
purchasing power of farmers, which
has resulted from recent advances
es in prices of farm products and
decreases in other lines, was cited by
Secretary Wallace tonight in an ad-
dress before the National Retail Dry
Goods association as "a hopeful sign
to industry in eneral."
Estimating that farmers and their
families represented 40 per cent of
the population, he declared every
phase of business should be interest
ed in every sensible effort to get
farming back on a sound basis" He
denied what he called the widely
held notion that corn belt farmers
had plunged into land speculation
during the war years. Probably not
more than 10 per cent of the culti-
waited land changed hands, he said.
1.-THE farmer has taken his full
share and more of liquidation he
declared. HE has the right to eX-
pect that others, such as manufac-
turers, railroads, laborin men, re-
tailers, will follow his example. Pri-
ces of things must come down.
Farmers always have been and
are now the great stabilizing force
in government"
The so called farm legislation
of the last year, the speaker said,
"has been of just as much benefit
to all classes as it is to the farmer,
being designed to put 40 per cent
of our people in position to help
themselves.

|Pheasants Not

ers in the announcement from De-
putty State Game Warden A. Saun-
ders, of this city, that previous re-
ports to the effect that the heavy
SHOWS of the past few days had killed
off large numbers of pheasants is
untrue. The report was to the ef-
feet that pheasants had gathered In
flocks only to be buried under the
heavy SHOWS. Mr.. Saunders reports
that the pheasants have gatehred
around farm yards and where unable
to find food elsewhere have been liy-
ing off the largess of farmers, gran
aries. In one farm yard over 200

MUST WITHSTAND

RRECONCIIABLES WATCHING
RECEPTION OF TREATIES
IN THE SENATE

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE treat
les of Washington must withstand
the acid test under which the ver-
sailles treaty failed or tehy too will
be fought to a finish by determined
senators. This was the decision to-
day of small but powerful group
of republicans, all that is left of the
irreconcilable battalion which caused
the rejection of the League of Ma
tlons covenant. If the seven treaties
submitted late yesterday for senate
ratification by President Harding can
withstand the test the irreconcilables
will not fight them. The test to be
applied is whether the treaties con-
stitute infringements on the tradi-
tional American doctrine of no alli-
ances, no entanglements and no sur
render of American sovereignty.
