hou game There are no real candl-
dates for the republican mlnatl
for the presidency, but many poople
are asking what Roosevelt, LaFollette'
Cummins, Burton and Whitman in
tend to do about it."
Robert T. Lincoln, chairman OF the
hoard of directors of the Pullman COM
many. has declared his belief hat the
timing of Pullman porters would con-
tinue even if the pay of $3.50 a month
should be increased. Mr.. Lincoln ad'
mitted before the United States COM
mission on Industrial Relations that
the wage system for porters was an
INADEQUATE one, and that it had given
him considerable annoyance. rms
gentleman is the sen of Abraham Lin
coin.
The fighting Europeans are a pro-
voking lot, and some people allege
that the United States has no foreign
policy since our attitude with the war
ring nations has been such as permit

the combatants tight it out among
themselves.
While we are "watchfully waiting"
to see what happens in Europe, former
President Huerta, of Mexico, has ap-
~parently settled down in the United
States, and for some reason there has
been a sort of spontaneous enthusiasm
for the old Indian who caused us so
much trouble in Mexico. Chauncey M.
Depew has made known the fact that
he is still among the living by declar-
ing that Huerta is the "ablest Mexi-
can alive" The Endorsement of
Chauncey seems to have been second
ed by many other enthusiasts whose
presence heretofore had not been dis
covered.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Bookings Register Bureau. Washington, DC.
(By j. E. Jones)
The railroads have been putting out
frequent statements concerning rail-
mail pay These generally eman-
ate from Chairman Peters of the Long
Island Railroad. Mr.. Peters state
ments are intended TO prove that the
railroads are being underpaid, and
consequently that the government is
Yobbing them. To all sorts of claims
OF this kind, Postmaster General Bur
Lesson replies with counter statements,
attempting to prove that the govern
ment is getting the worst of it at the
hands of the railroads. The rate of
railway mail pay has been in contro-
yersy for twenty-five years. One rea-
son why some definite basis of pay
has not been arrived at that would be
fair to the railroads and the govern
ment, has been the attitude of the
railroads in attempting to manipulate
politics. If Chairman Peters can get
his people down to a point where they
are willing to present a clean case to
the people of the United States, it is
entirely reasonable to suppose that
the railroads will get justice. But
while the policy of the railroads and
the postmaster general continues to
rest upon the theory that this is a
political rather than an economic ques-
ton, no practical results are likely to
be attained.
Associate Justice Charles f. Hughes
has issued a statement declaring that
he has mo desire to ~re-enter politics
and as d member of the supreme
court he is not available" In short,
Mr., Hughes has put a damper upon
the movement to run him for presi-
dent on the republican ticket. Mr..
Hughes made an enviable record as
governor Of New York, and a small
minority of people, who are looking
for the best man" are Hughes en-
thusiasts. However, there is no
warmth among the active republicans
in the suggestion of Hughes as a can
didate. This is for the very simple
reason that Hughes is generally re-
garded as something of an iceberg,
and he provokes about as much en-
thusiasm as a missionary at a Sunday

In the death Of II. E. Mayhem, who
recently passed away at Letcher, the
state has lost another of its pioneer
newspaper men. He has not been en-
gagged in newspaper work for some
years but there was a time some ff.
teen or twenty years ago when the in.
fiuence of his pen was felt throughout
the state and he was considered one
of the ablest editors we had. One by
one the old guard are passing away
and there are but few now in the har,
ness who published papers in the

TUITION CHARGE ILLEGAL

On inquiry of the secretary of the
state board of regents of education,
the state legal department holds that
no one state institution under the con
troll of that board may make any tut
ton charge not placed upon all the in
stitution, says a Pierre dispatch. The
inquiry was as to the right of one of
the institutions to make a "tardy"
charge against pupils who did not
register at the opening of the term,
which is not allowable according to the
law department.
That the county authorities cannot
take possession of a telephone com
pany business and operate it until the
receipts equal delinquent taxes due is
the holding of the law department on a
query from the states attorney of
Brule county, who desires to collect
delinquent taxes in hat manner, his
instructions being to levy on sufficient
property of the company to secure the
amount which is due as delinquent
taxes.
That any bank which places itself
under the state bank guaranty act has
the right to SO advertise by sign or in
other manner is the holding On the
query Of the state banking department,
but that no such advertising is allow
able until the bank is actually working
under the law is the holding on the
rights Of state banks to secure this
privilege under the new law. The hold
ing in fact being that there is nothing
in the law to prohibit such publicity
on the part Of such banks as desire it.

The Groton papers state that Rev.
j. S. Butt, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at that place for w 20 years
has accepted a call to the pastorate OF
the Presbyterian church at Princeton.
n. J., and will leave for his new
charge about the middle OF May. That
his resignation was accepted with the
deepest regrets OF the entire COM
munity speaks more eloquent than
words Of his ability and popularity.
Mr.. Butt was one Of the first sup
plies Of the Presbyterian church at
Raymond along in 1886 before he had
completed his studies In theological
seminary. We were at that time pub
fishing the Raymond Gazette and re-
tain the most pleasant memories OF his
maiden efforts at preaching the gos-
pei and his eager efforts to establish
a membership in that pioneer town.
We wish him every success in his new
field.

There has been a suspicion for some
time that Germany was trying to in
volve this country in the war and since
the sinking Of the Lusitania many ser
ious-minded people are wondering just
what the attitude of England is and If
the great disaster was not the result
of the latter country's neglect. The
big liner with his valuable human
cargo was in dangerous waters and
yet the British government made no
effort to insure its safety by a convoy
of destroyers, as had been done pre-
viously, although repeated warnings
had come from Germany that the
Lusitania would be attacked. 1t looks
as though England was guilty of GRIM
inal neglect in the same ratio that
Germany was guilty of wholesale MUIR

POLITICAL INTEREST GROWING

Though not a political year, there is
considerable politics floating in the
Dakota air these days, says a Pierre
dispatch. The Richards suit to test
out the right of the legislature to re-
peal, amend or change an initiated act,
has opened a wide field for discussion
as we'll as political foresight. If he
should establish the fact that the leg
islature went beyond its powers, it
would mean that a campaign would be
on oversight in the state for the lin
ing UP of the proposal men at the mid
winter meeting under the old law. If
he fails there will be no active cam
paign until some time next spring,
when il will be necessary for the can
didates to get into the game for the
June primary, or six months later than
the requirements under the old Rich
ards act.
There has been considerable Skin
mishing over the insurance depart
ment appointments, and a question as
to just where they will line up the
first of July. George Fallon of Lead
has been asking for the position OF
state fire marshal, held by S. E. Grams
of Lead, but the indications are that
Grams will hold onto that position, and
that Fallon will be given the position
of the head Of the state securities COM
mission, or blue sky" department,
after the first of July, when 1t be-
comes a salaried position instead of a
fee situation, as it has been so far,
with the fees not excessive. AS to the
head of the department, there are sew
eral applicants for the place, among
them Jed Hammond of Canastota,
Thomas Potwin of Lennon, and in
fact esevral other applicants who
would like the place, with Commission
er Stabiein in position, and willing to
stay longer in the same position, with
the first of July to tell just what will
be done in that position.
The ruling of State Auditor Hand
lin in regard to the expense vouchers
for the members of the supreme court
Is looked upon in some quarters as a
part OF a political play, to use as a
part Of the campaign against Judges
Smith and Mccoy next year. they be.
ing the two stalwart members Of the
court.
Former Senator Crawford is not ac-
lively at work politically now, but
there are open rumors that he feels he
did not.get a square deal from the gov
ernor and from Treasurer Ewert in
the last campaign, and that he Is ready
to get into any movement which will
help eliminate them from the political
field in the state for the future. 1t is
openly announced that he will be in
the campaign for state wide prohi'
bition next year, and while out on the
stump he is likely to turn his views
loose on the political situation gener'
ally.
c. H. Burke is resting at his home
in this city, and while he probably out
of the active game from this time on,
he is not so constituted that he will
forget the political game or to be
around where 1t Is played in relation
to others who want to keep in the
lime-light.
