Attorney General Robert C. Brickell of

who is one of special counsel for the

HOLDING UP NOMINATIONS

No matter how important the bust
ness before congress may be, there is
nothing that SO interests the public at
large as the handing ovt of federal pie.
Not that so many people are asking for
a hunk of it, although the members of
congress who find their daily mail bur.
dened with petitions for jobs are tempt.
ing to think SO. It's Just popularity
of most folks that they wonder who will
get all the good jobs that are to be dis
tributed. That's why the determine
ton Of the senate to hold up confirma
tions of the presidents nominations
has aroused SO much interest. There's
a deadlock over it and unless the demo-
Gratis are given some concessions they
threaten not to allow any Of the names
to 60 through during this entire ses-
sion. OF course this makes the cold
chills creep along the spinal columns Of
a large number Of very excellent gen
tlemen and few more worthy ladies'
who are perfectly acceptable to the
president, but who seem unable to get

FOR RAISE OF SALARY

The commissioners of the larger coun-
ties of the state will ask that the law
in regard to compensation of boards of
commissioners in counties of certain
geographical size, or of certain popu-
lation, which requires a larger share of
the time of the officials to properly
handle, be increased to fit the condit-
ions. AS an example the board of COM
missioners of Stanley county need to
look after work over an area which
makes it impossible for them to look into
the required road and bridge work un-
der their mileage allowance, and further,
the time allowance under pay is such tha
they are forced to give to the county a
great deal of their time without any
compensation. In such counties as
Minnehaha and Brown it is not SO much
case of covering territory as it is time
for the transaction of the business of
the county in proper manner, and on
account of such conditions they ask
that the compensation in such counties
will be such as to pay them for their
time.

NO FORM OF CIVIL CONTROL

The view is justified by the 1912 re-
port of the secretary of war, from
which the following is taken: "It- is
fourteen years since the United States
entered the Philippines. 1t is ten years
since the establishment there under the
organic act Of congress of July 1, 1902.
This has been decade of notable
achievement There is no other in
stance in history where. after four years
of war and insurrection, to over 7,0o0,-
600 of an entirely alien race have been
so soon given not only the forms of
civil control, but immediate and extern
sive participation in their own govern
ment. Similarly. there is no parallel to
the material, mental and moral progress
shown in these ten years of civil gov
ernment by so many millions of people,
held for centuries in ignorance and,
in effect in political and economic bond

CENTER STOCK METHODS

If the high price Of meat have the
effect, as stated by rancher, to bet
ter methods Of stock raising produce
tive of larger herds and improved
breeds. they have a. comensatory5
value generally overlooked. Tho
stockman predics that within the.
next decade ''the west is going TO 500
great change in all the cattle rails
ing industry" adding that Improved
methods are rapidly coming in and ii
few years we will be raising as much
beef as ever.''
of course, the subdivision OF the
great ranges has had the temporary.
effect Of curtailing the live stock
supply. but it would be idle to I'm.
agine that an industry so prof table
would not recover from setback.
This is but one Of the changes that
have come with the recurring trans.
formations of the west. all Of which
have meant progress and develop
ment. If tho smaller farmer goea
into cattle raising now on s moro
scientific basis than formerly pur-
sued by the big ranger better bred
stock and more Of it should come In
the course of 3 very few years, for
the same principle Of intensive pro-
duction is applicable to live stock g
to products of tho soil.

THE CONSERVATION CROWD

The conservation congress has drawn
large crowds from all portions of the
state. A special train from the Black
Hills brings hundreds from the mining
district. The irrigated portions are all
we'll represented.
The meeting of the state conserva-
ton and development congress which
began three days. session here this
morning has brought number of rep.
resentatives here from all over the
state, the Black Hills being especially
represented by delegation which
comes in string of special sleepers
with the men wearing special good
roads badge, indicating what they are
especially interested in, and with them
is George A. Ayres, chief OF the good
roads boosters association.
The hall is decorated with flags and
bunting, with an immense display OF
state products which were used in the
exhibits at the land shows in Minnea-
polls and Chicago this winter, making
a splendid showing Of the states agri-
cultural possibilities.
After the address Of welcome by
Mayor Stephens, President E. C. Per.

would allow everyone in attendance

ENDING THE sPoILs SYSTEM

Faithful employees Of the govern
ment who have show ability and have
attended to their work without both
ering about politics should feel re-
lieved by the statement which has
been made by Gov. Wilson. In re-
sponse to plea for the appointment
of democrat to replace the republi-
can labor commissioners OF New Jer.
sey, the president-elect said that he
would feel ashamed Of himself ii he
were to make removal merely on the
ground of partnership.
.If men are to know that merA
change of administration is to empty
an Office, no matter how how they
deserved to be .reappointed, there is
not anything Of justice or public right
left" said Mr.. Wilson, emphatically.
"Public Office is not worth anything
satisfactory fulfillment Of the duties
of an Office does not entitle q man to
consideration for reappointment.
In that statement by the president
elect is expressed the whole basic
theory of the civil law. The OBVIOUS
meaning Of it is that Mr.. Wilson has
no intention of demonstrating the
public service by making mans po-
lltics the test Of his fitness to remain
in office. IS
