A REPUBLICAN VIEW

Pierre Correspondence Aberdeen
News: Julius FL. Johnson of Fort
Pierre is the latest candidate TO an
nounce that he will be a republican
candidate in the primaries next year
for congress from the Third district.
This announcement puts three candi-
dates in the field already in the re-
publican list, with the Black Hills
section to be heard from, with cer-
tainty that there will be at least one
if not more aspirants in the field from
that section. State Senator j. G. Bar
tine of Lyman, a candidate for the
republican nomination in the last
campaign, in which he was close
second of Judge Rice, is again out,
and Judge Williamson, also Of Ly-
man, present circuit judge of the
Eleventh circuit has announced that
he is not afraid Of the Judicial hoo
doo," which is alleged to have helped
defeat Judges McNulty and Rice in
the last campaign, has announced
that he will try. Dr.. Redheld OF
Rapid City has been charged with
having congressional ambitions, and
some one from the northern Hills is
practically certain to be in the game
| before the entries are closed. With
that district being represented by
| Harry Candy, a democrat, the re-
publican list which will seek to oust
him is likely to be long enough to
make enough sore spots when the
race is ended to allow Candy another
| term, for it has to be admitted by all
that as a campaigner, Candy is a
whirlwind, and can make any repub-
lican candidate 60 the limit. even
with no handicaps.

GERMAN BASE, MAINE COAST

Washington, ID. c., July 20. Five
government departments had under
consideration today reports that sub
marines, presumably German, were op-
Grating off the Maine coast. The story
was looked upon rather doubtfully. APP
parently it reached the state depart
ment first in the form of suspicion ex-
pressed by residents of the coast.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels said
there was no doubt submarines can
cross the Atlantic. There was nothing
officially before him. In naval cfcles
it was said it had been believed for
sosne time that Germany planned the
establishment of submarine base in
American waters.

AMERICAS EXpOSITIONS

Two expositions, like great mag
nets, are drawing westward the eyes
and the desires of the people of
America. The Panama Pacific, at
San Francisco, is the acknow lodged
masterpiece of international fairs.
The Panama California, at San Diego,
is a gem of subtropical beauty and
substantial worth. Each, of it's own
kind, is altogether admirable. They
conflict in no wise; each supplements
the other.
But these are by no means all the
eXpositions in the West this summer.
Nature in her noblest manifestations
beckOns the Traveller to spectacles of
grandeur and loveliness unexcelled.
Glacier National park invites Ameri-
ca to an Alpine wilderness which
some day will draw Europe's thous-
ands across sea and continent. Mt.
Rainier, icy octopus of the west, eX-
tends her glacial fingers down among
gorgeous gardens of wild flowers to
offer welcome to her visitors. Crater
Lake sucks the blue from the skies
to mix anew in her depths and give
forth again in hues that 10 not seem
real. Yellowstone exhibits fields of
spouting geysers with which those
Of Iceland and New Zealand together
offer no comparison. Yosemite pre-
sents her Incompatible valley. Sc
quota exhibits 10000 giant trees,
some of which have lived through all
written history. The Grand Canyon
hides her river 1000 feet deep in a
gulf of color so gorgeous and vet 80
lndefinable that no painter can re,
produce it. And Colorado invites all
to her two national parks, Rocky
Mountain, our newest, whose gate
way is beautiful Estes park, and
Mesa Verde, with its cliff dwellings
of prehistoric times.

CHARGED WITH MURDER

Charging manslaughter in the first
degree, the states attorney caused the
arrest of Gerald Harrigan of Lead, the
young motorcyclist who ran into and
killed Williap> Pierce ten days ago.
The coroner's jury rendered a verdict
Of "death due to reckless and careless
driving on the part of Harrigan'' and
it later developed that he had no license
for his machine, had never applied for
one, or carried either lights, horn or
signalling device. The state law makes
killing under such circumstances man
slaughter so the authorities have de
cided to prosecute Harrigan.

CROP MAN WEARS A SMILE

Huron Hnronite: The crop man
looked in today to say that the last
week has so advanced the corn fields
that by the end of another week the
crop will not be at all behind. OF
wheat he talks about twenty-five
bushels per acre. 1t is now in the
milk and the dough and calamity will
have to come fast if it comes at all.
1t is 8 great agricultural year that
produces the best in both corn and
wheat. But Providence has probably
arranged it against the coming hung

ECLIPSE ON NEXT MONTH

On August 10, the moon will pass across
the face of the sun, causing an annular
eclipse. This eclipse will be wholly in
the Pacific ocean, hence visible in this
country. 1t will be beautiful sight to
those who are fortunate enough to see it.
The solid moon will appear, round black
orb on the center of the sun, with bright
rim all around it the moon being too far
from the earth at the time to cover the
whole face of the sun.

until recently as the Fourth Regi-

years than any other band in the
Northwest, and has been selected as
the official band to furnish music at

Illinois taxpayers are suing to prevent
the state from spending $3,O60,OO0 of

A decrease of $50 in the number of

greater size of modern vessels.
THE total merchant tonnage of the
United States" said Secretary Sweet,
"is exceeded only by the merchant
shipping under the British flag which
is approximately 21,275,500 tons.
American shipping is greater than
the merchant tonnage under the Nor

Jones said that the position of the
vessel, as given in the wireless mes

southeast of Halifax, or nearly in mid
ocean.
The Santa Ana, he said, sailed from
this port on September 9. She was
due to reach Naples, her first stop, in
from ten and a half to eleven days.

Beside the number of Italian reserv-
