ATTACKS WILSON'S POLICY.
Famous Nebraskan Assails the Pres
ident's Policy of Preparedness,

Famous Nebraskan Assails the Pres
ident's Policy of Preparedness.
Washington, D. C.-William J.. Bry-
an took complete issue with President
Wilsonon the latter's defense pro-
gram as outlined last night at the
Manhattan club.
Bryan declared the program vio-
lates the principles of humanity and
challenges the spirit of Christianity
which teaches us to influence by ex-
ample, not by exciting fear.
He said the United States will do
infinite harm to neighboring nations
if it is drawn into the defense plan
as outlined by Wilson.
Bryan pointed out that we now
spend more for preparedness than for
agriculture, and insisted that the tax
payers are not in favor of increasing
the fund TO such purposes when a
change is not only unnecessary, but
contrary to our national ideals. He
said the United States is without an
enemy and, that there is no need to
begin preparedness when other ma
lions are nearing exhaustion.
Bryan,s statement formally opened
his battle on preparedness, it was be-
lever in all quarters here.
The former secretary's statement
futher widens the breach between
himself and Wilson, and the indica-
lions are that even a possible breach
in the democratic ranks will not de-
ter him from attacking ilson's jo-
sition.
1t is believed his speech will be
the keynote of the campaign in con
gress by the pacificist group against
the proposals for increasing the army
and navy.

Berlin.-The Morgen Post attacks

in the United States who are partisans
of other causes than that of America
and have forgotten that their chief
allegiance is to the American govern.
ment. The Morgen Post says the
elections of Tuesday brought a heavy
moral defeat" for the president and
that his speech was in retaliation for
this German-American punishment
and was obviously directed against
German Americans.
The form of the presidents speech,
the newspaper asserts, was such as
had never before cen heard from an
American president and such as
would not have been considered pos
sible from the head Of the state.
The Morgen Post asserts that 'tin
view of the pronounced hatred of Ger
many prevailing in America" the
speech can lead to "the worst conse,
quences." 1t declares President VIII,
son expressed .his aversion for and
low estimate of COMMUNICATIONS
shortly after the outbreak of the war
in different utterances, and that the
president SIS certainly unatted to
play the leading role in discussions
of the peace question"

der present conditions a highly spec
ulatiye and uncertain business, ac-
cording to specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
Since 1910 the profits in the business
have been derived chiefly from the
sale of live foxes for breeding. Re
Gently the demand for these foxes has
fallen off because milady's fancy has
changed and in consequence there has
been a sharp decline in prices.
As long as high prices for the pelts
are maintained, black and silver fox
farming offers good opportunities for
reasonable returns providing that the
location of the farm and otheaf condi-
lions are favorable.
The silver fox can be raised wher.
ever foxes live in a wild state but the
fur will be of a superior quality in
the eastern and northern states.
A pair of good breeding foxes have
been known to bring several thousand
dollars each on the market, but com
mon silvers can be purchased for
breeding purposes for from $50 to
$500 each. The silver fox is very ner.

Foxes require great care in feeding

meat. fish, mush, milk, bread and

feeding Only about half of the fe-
male foxes produce young in any
given year and as the average litter

Teaching Journalism


man engaged in merchandising had
no right to sell his goods to a man
of another party, yet space in a Jews
paper is all that it's owner has to sell
lit is his goods.
Mr.. Sterling is behind the times
and if he is teaching journalism to
young minds, he must abandon the
old ground that an editor owes allie
glance first Of all to the candidates
of the political party that happens to
enjoy his favor. The newspaper is
more of a commercial proposition
than 1t used to be and 1t no longer
follows the beaten path of unswerv-
ing loyalty to fortunate individuals.
Editorially 1t may favor the prin-
Iciples it enjoys and may discuss them
and may reason with the public that
its view is correct. But that it must
consider men of opposing party views
beyond the pale of recognition is not
the modern appreciation Of the sit
uation.
Editorially 1t is the mission of all
newspaper man to treat all public
questions fairly and as intelligently
as his mentality will admit of. But
that he must accept unsparingly the
dogma Of partyism and reject what
ever is good within another party is
an Interpretation that bIongs to the
past.

Get Actual Business
Practice at School

The city of Watertown is fortunate
in having the distinction Of having
one of the best Commercial schools
iof the state of South Dakota. The
proprietor OF the Watertown Business
College, Mr.. W~iechmann, recently
purchased college bank furniture and
his school is now a first class and up
to-date institution.
In these offices the student handles
the actual business papers, thus re-
ceiving thorough drill every day in
all kinds of office routine work.
Daily statements, balances, and
cash proofs are required at the close
of each days business in the college
bank. Students are required to write
| preparatory sets before they may be
; admitted to the office department.
We unhesitatingly recommend the
school to young men and women who
wish to secure the best commercial
education, and particularly parents

The credlt basis of the National
Association of Accredited CONNER
cial Schools is the standard required
of a pupil for graduation, and he may
graduate as soon as he can pass the
examinations of this association.
Mr.. Wiechmann, the proprietor of
Watertown Business College, gives
his undivided attention to his school,
and as he is a successful experienced
educator the result is a first class
school in which thorough, solid knowl-
edge is impaired to all who may put
themselves under his instruction.
