FRENCH SUBMARINE LOST
Weasel Was Trying to Get TO Cruiser
Goeben In the Oar
danetles.

London. The loss of French sub
marine boat In an attempt TO run
through the Dardanelles Is described
by Rear Admiral Guepratte of the
French Dardanelles feet in an inter
view with the Daily Telegraph's Ten
edos correspondent. The attempt ap
parently was made some time ago, al
though no announcement has been
made Oh II heretofore.
"'rhe statement had as Its object
the sinking Of the Turkish cruiser Sui
tan Selim formerly the German
cruiser Goebenl." the correspondent
says Admiral Guepratte told him. The
submarine was submerged and sue.
cessfuily navigated the straits up to
the cernor where the Asiatic coast
ju,s out at Niagara.
Through some miscalculatlon the
hull struck the rocky shore. which
compelled the boat TO rise to the sur.
face. Immediately the submbarine ap-
peared the forts sank her. Only a
few OF her crew escaped and these
were made prisoners.
Regarding the present situation In
the Dardanelles, Rear Admiral Cue
prAtte said the waters OF the straits
are clear as far as Mephez Bernu, 10
which point all vessels OF the feet can
safely pavigate. The mr'n mine fields,
however, are between chanak Kale
and Kilid Rahr. where also are the
main coast defenses."

the News reaches like to read about
what you are doing. And besides, you
like to see your name in the paper. We
all do. So why not be honest about it.
This week and all other weeks which
have been and which are to be, there
are many items Of news which do rot
appear in the paper. We don't know
what they are. If we did we would
gladly publish them. 1t is not our
fault. 1t is not within the bounds of
human possibility for any editor to
know everything.
This is not an apology to anyone. It
Is a protest. For ii makes US extreme
ly weary when people get peeved at
the editor for something for which they
themselves and not the editor are to
blame. Think it over. And send in
the news. 1t will help us to give you

facturer Of the "tin Lizzie's," and does
not represent his biggest b~enefactions.
Now Ford is a man of ideas, but it is a
mistake to assume that they are all
good ones. For instance, who could
o. K. his viewpoint in saying that he
would not give five cents for all the
art in the world; or in making light of
college young men. During Mr.. Ford's
day in Washington it was indicated
that he was Of the class who love peace
so dearly that he is willing to fight
for it; and far more important than
his talk with the president was his
conference with the secretary of the
navy, whom he advised regarding the
possibilities of gasoline engines for
submarines and the directing Of aero
planes by wireless.

AN EDITORIAL PROTEST

Every newspaper publisher frequent
ly happens onto instances of where
people are peeyed and sometimes even
mad, because their comings and goings
and other things have lot been chron-
icled in the local paper. Two instances
OF this kind have come to the know
ledge of the editor of the News within
the past week. We have no intention
Of apologizing. No apology is due.
Every week a country editor is con.
fronted with the task of trying to dig
up from seven to ten or twelve columns
of readable news matter. 1t is the
hardest thing he has to do. Items Of
are more than welcome. We do
not recall a single instance Of ever
having omitted an item of local news
because we did not want to publish it.
We have omitted many by request or
because their publication might cause
trouble, grief and sorrow, as is often
inc CdSt' Anu we lave OllllIItu nun
dreds of news items because we never
heard Of them, or because our informa-
ton was not reliable.
Last week, for instance, three births
were reported to this Office. We in
vestigated two of the reports and found
that they were not true. We were un-
able to verify the third report and
omitted that for fear that it also might
be untrue. How would you like to be
in the editors shoes after publishing
the news of a birth in a family where
no birth had occurred?
There are several thousand people
in Potter county. The most important
doings of all of them constitute news.
We want to publish all the news there
Is. We want the news so badly that
we pay good money to several cores
pondents to get it. We want it so
badly that we pay a reporter to meet
trains every day, and keep up two
telephones so that we will be in con-
slant touch with the public generally.
Many people are backward, through
an entirely false sense of modesty,
about telling the editor about their
own doings or news of their friends.
We always consider it a personal favor
when people bring or send news items
to the office. There is nothing bold or
immodest about telling the editor that
you are going to Iowa to visit your
friends for a few weeks. 1t is the most
unselish thing you can do. Your
friends here and in other places which

Grant county observers assert that
grain crops in this section OF South
Dakota are only normal, according to
a Milbank dispatch, and are inclined
to look askance at reports of big yields
that appear in the daily papers. The
crops are good, they say. with average
yields of good grade. but they claim
the yields in the northwest have been
exaggerated. with a consequent de.
creas in grain prices to an extent
that is not warranted by the facts.
This Is undoubtedly true, as 1t Is only
natural to exaggerate large yields.
However, those who make the prices
keep a pretty close tab on actual con-
ditions and we doubt II the exaggera-
ton tends to lower the price to any
appreciable extent.

The Registers Washington cores
pendent says that a great economic
question is going to be brought square
ly before the American people within
the next few months, and upon the
determination Of the issues raised by
the so-called Stevens Bill, pending in
congress, depends in a very large
measure the fate of the small dealer,
and especially those in the smaller
towns, in the unequal struggle that
they are waging for existence against
the great city department stores and
the mail order houses. Every person
who has kept his eyes open, must have
observed that for some reason the big
city merchants have been gaining
ground, while the tradesmen in the in
terror have found the struggle growing
constantly harder. The records of
p~ostofice and express money order
issues, and bank drafts purchased,
clearly show that great sums of money
that should be used in trading at
home, Is going to the mail order
houses in the large cities. And the
department stores in the great centers
are m~onopolizing the trade. and the
little stores are becoming fewer and
poorer. This condition is attributed
to "cut-throat competition" or price
cutting, and from every part of the
country there has come a demand for
the enactment of a federal statute that
will enable manufacturers Of staple
articles to fix a price on their goods
and compel the retailing at a standard
figure, no matter where the goods are
sold. The Federal Trade Commission
Is working in this direction. and the
Indications are that there is bad wea-
ther ahead for the handful Of city in
terests that have been driving out the
smaller dealers and. growing opulent
and arrogant at the expense Of the
country merchants.
