vSSöST tfm: Ms lv ßW Mi M? IMr ip HD SISSETON WKKIY STANDARD By Walter TT We L-Johnson I Have Kept the War. We hear it said that IVcr-i-j dent Wilson has kvpt A mei'i-1 caout of the war. Well and! good. Tilt! President's cam-' paign for rv-cleciion this sum mer will be followed on the theory that he is a. blessing to America because lie has kept this country out of the war. To have kept us out of the war is a thing worth while— a big thing for a big president to have done. President Wilson lias credit for having "kept us out of war." Will someone please tell what Mr. Wilson might have done, more than he has done toward involving us in war? What reasons could he have for declaring war on any foreign power? What reason lias any foreign power for declaring war us us? Has any such threat been extended to ward the United States, and if so, by whom? European countries have trauble enough atfhome. Moreover, congress has something to say about declaring war. If Holland and Sweden and Sweden and Norway and Denmark and Switzerland and Spain in close proximity to the zone of hostilities have kept us out of war, why should not the United States thousands of miles distant from'the vortex keep out of war? Or has President Wil son likewise kept Spain and Switzerland and Norway and Denmark and Sweden and Holland out of war? Now what has President Wilson done toward keeping us out of war? s,, He has tabled and ignored gl-- 5{-v„Japan's aequest for a settle Ms moot of the California land -question. The fiie still smol ders an aggravating smudge. He lias perposely invaded Mexico on three different oc casions and is 110 nearer the end of the road.

The immigration eommissiumT has hung hack and allowed her neighbor to forge ahead by offering her lesser advantages in more attractive manner. This bears out what the American has constantly preached that Soul Ii 1 akotans do not appreciate their own state. This appreciation business we celebrated awhile ago had far better be gin at home than elsewhere. Here is what Mr. McCaft'ree says in a letter to the American. "Appropriation for the department of immigration is not $ö(),000 nor S'25,000 nor SI 7,500 stated in campaign adver tising. We wish, for the next year xvliil-t prospects are so good that it were. The amount is $12,000 for advertising, printing, postage, salaries and advertising. "North Dakota has been compared to us because that state has shown a gain in population over us since 11)00. While North Dakota is a grand state, it is not so fortunate as ours in soil, climate or crops. Their state taxes have been higher than ours both per capital and in total amount. They have not been quite as prosperous as we have. "Itut there are three good reasons for their greater growth. I a a a a More important, they have consistently gone after settlers. •'3. They have had the big land grants to the railroad (of which we had none) settled in that time. "In 1905-7-0 North Dakota spent $70,000 in advertising aside from salaries and office expenses met by a salary fund. South Dakota spent nothing. "In 1911 South Dakota woke up and both states appro priated $15,000 though our fund had to pay salaries and theirs did not. "In 1913 the northern state appropriated $5(5,445 for the same purpose (including Exposition), we oppropriated $25,000. "In 1915 our neighbor appropriated $01,000, we $25,000. Their land grant railways have done much more than the state. The wonder is our northern neighbor did not get a greater advantage. It is a direct argument for advertising. "You had perhaps not noticed that according to the ceil eus the number of our farms jumped from $77,644 in 1910 to 101,224 in 1915, a big gain for five years. Supt. Robinson of the state cencus estimates our present population at 600, 000. The gain of births over deaths is 9,000, leaving 9,000 for immigration within the year. "We have received the report of immigrant cars only from Dakota Division of the Northwestern as yet. It shows 541 cars received from out side the state. That ought to be a fair average territory. Figuring on that basis, all the mileage of the state would give 2,191 immigrant cars from January I to May 1, and these figures are an increase of 32 per cent over last year for the same period. The entire year will be very much larger of course, but March and April are the best months."—Aberdeen American. but one course open, but he has been outgeneraled, diplo matically, by Berlin's foreign office There is just one reason why we are at peace with Germany, and that is because Germany does not want war, at tliis time, with the United You may be famous for your cooking, or 1 just a "beginner" In Either Case BAKING POWDER will help you. •j «»goodness fja^w Now tlnit thestate campaign is '»VI-.
