VOLUME XLV.
George Ray of Yankton, a veteran
of the Spanish-American war, was
elected commander of the South Da
kota department of the American Le
gion at the meeting in Watertown
last week. The temporary head quar
ters of the Legion will remain at
Sioux Falls another year, when per
manent headquarters will be located.
The Sioux City Tribune now thinks
that the republicans made a fatal mis
take in not nominating Gen. Leonard
Wood for president Yet if Gen.
Wood had been nominated the Tribune
would still be supporting 'Jov. Cox.
The attitude of the Tribune teems to
be that everything is right that the
republicans have not done, and
nothing is right that they have done.
On Tuesday of this week the last
unit of the American Expeditionary
Force, which since the signing of the
armistice has been stationed in the
occupied German territory along the
Rhine, was mustered uut, and will re
turn home. We shall then be out of
war in everything except in name
and this condition will probably con
tinue until soon after the fourth of
next March.
The ^outh Dakota League of Wom
en Voters is calling the women of the
First Congressional district to meet at
Mitchell on September 7th, for the
purpose of organizing a Congressional
District League. It is asking that
all women in,the first district who are
interested in the constructive program
of the League of Women Votnrs be
present at that meeting which will
open at 10:30 A. M. in the Library
Sail. The date and place of the
meetingb in the second and third dis
tricts will be announced later.
Inasmuch as our war with Germany
was not brought on by any congres
sional proclamation, but vaa brought
on by Germany, and "as simply rec
ognized by a proclamation declaring
that "A state of war exints," why
cab not congress now declare that a
state of war does not exist? Such a
declaration would not fix any terms
of peace, but it would nullify a num
ber of autocratic powers conferred
upon the president for the duration of
the war, and that would help some.
Myron T. Berrjck, former ambassa
dot to Frapce and who has just re
turned from a stay of two months in
Europe, says tjiat the experience of
Jtbe League of Nations in its effort to
protect Poland, has convinced the
atatesmen of France and England,
that article of the League is futile.
Ha *ay the countries of Eurqpe never
did want the league in the fqrm it
-name over here, even when it was
first drawn up. This corresponds with
all reports that we have received.
The adoption of Article is pro
claimed by Pres. Wilson's friends as
a great personal triumph for hjm, and
was included in the treat? against the
protest of other nations, Now we are
told by the supporters of the league
as presented, that we are deserting
our allies by not adopting it. Two
points in this connection should be no*
ted. Fitst, we never had any allies
in the world war. We went inta the
war as an
44associated
power" and
refused to make an alliance We
cannot be charged with deserting our
"allies" for we never had any. The
second point is that in demanding a
revision of Article we are simply
asking "hat the European powers
asked when the treaty waa being
framed. It is not likely, therefore,
that the other powers would seriously
object to our relieving them of an ob
jectionable clause which was forced
upon them by Pres. Wilson Even
had we been an allv there could b« no
charge of desertion lodged against us
for signing a separate peace at this
time. Had we done it before the oth
er allies did, such a charge might
have had a shadow of truth, but 29
other nations have ratified a peace
treaty, leaving us as the only nation
now nominally at war with Germany.
Since they have already made peace
with Germany and deserted us by
signing a treaty that we did not ap
prove, it is up to us to make terms
that will be satisfactory to us if pos
sible.'
Station Agent Mueters, wife and
daughter, Lillian, returned on Mon
day evening from Sioux City, where
they attended the military funera
there on Sundaj of their nephew,
Sergeant Clayton V. Posey, who die*!

Gladys Posey returned home with

SEVEN ISSUES TO BE DECIDED
Referred Laws and Constitutional
Amendments to be Voted on.
1
Five constitutional amendments and
referred law* are to be submitted to
the voters o£ this state for their ap
proval or rejection at the election in
November, by either legislative action
or petition of the votera The consti
tutional amendments will go upon
the ballots as Amendments A, B, C,
D, and E, while the referred laws
will go to voters as Laws 1 and 2.
The sample ballots on these different
issues are being sent out by the secre
tary of state to the county auditor*,
each proposition carrying a short sum
mary by the attorney general as the
effects sought by either. The amend
ments to the constitution in order
are
Amendment A. Allows the legisla
ture ions saiarie* of §lata officials
by a two-thirds vote of each body.
At present state salaries are tied down
by constitutional restrictions and are
lover than county official salaries in
most counties of the state,
Amendment B. Provides for a state
board of,control to look after the va
rious state educational, penal and
charitable institutions, to take the
place of different boards now in ex
istence.
Amendment C. Authorizes an in
crease in debt limitation for educa
tional purposes. The present limita
tion is five per cent and the amend
ment would allow an increase to ten
per ce/it
Amendment Gives the Btate
authority to establish and maintain a
system of urban credits, to assist
town home builders along similar
lines of the present rural credits act,
to help farmers
Amendment E Authorizes the
state to increase its limit of bonded
indebtedness not to exceed six mil
lion dollars for the purpose of issuing
bonds to pay soldier bonus to soldiers
and 3ailors of the late war, and for
mer wars of this country.
The two referred laws are No. 1,
which carries to the people the a
mendments to the state prohibitory
law, the amendments being adopted
by the 1919 legislative session. Since
this act was referred to the people,
national prohibition has b«en adopt
ed, and the effect of the amendments
carried to a vote hav« largely been
eliminated by the National Act.
Referred Law No. 2 is the new
prjmary election law, adopted by the
special session of the legislature and
gent to the people for a vote as to
whether or not they desire to adopt
it in place of the present system.
Thepe issues will be presented on
separate ballots and voted on at the
same time as the vote is taken on
officials.

A Floor Varnish That Stands
Rough and Scuff
It is one of the few floor varnishes made
especially for floors—one of the few that fully
fulfills its purpose.
Lowe Brothers
Durable Floor
VARNISH
is its name. It is heavy in body, covers thor
oughly and gives complete protection to the
floor. Yet it is easy to apply—does not drag
on the brush.
Durable Floor Varnish does not have that
cheap "shiny" look, but gives a deep, rich gloss
effect.
It is tough and elastic enough to stand wear
and tear. It does not mar white.
Water—foiling hot or freezing cold—does not
affect it. It is a varnish we recommend for
your floors. It is made just for that purpose.
