FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE

Huron Huronite: President Wilson
has said that he is to formulate a plan
for strengthening the national de-
Tense and present it to congress for
consideration at the coming session.
Perhaps congress will follow the
plan of the president and perhaps it
will originate plan Of it's own At
any rate, national defense will be a
live topic after congress again enters
upon its work, the European war
having aroused the American people
to the consideration of measures that
are generally passed by in silence.
Developments Of the European war
have convinced the world that it's
fortitication system is a thing of the
past and that steel clad ocean arma-
ment cannot meet the destructive
submarine.
The navy department will recon-
mend large increase in submarine
construction and it is presumed that
underground trenches will take the
place of costly land forts. The ma
chine gun is also replacing the mus
ket and it must have a large place
in future calculations.

CANDIDATES PROSPECTING

Butte Daily Miner: Within the
last few weeks Montana has been vis-
tied by two distinguished republican
leaders, who are at least under con-
ditions, receptive candidates for the
presidential nomination of their
party.
The first one was Senator Albert B.
Cummins of Iowa, who honored
Butte with days visit, and the sec
ond gentleman. who is understood to
be willing to meet the nomination
more than half way, is former Sena-
tor Theodore e. Burton of OHIO, who
was entertained at banquet in
Helena Saturday night by some lead
ing republicans of Montana.
Both these famous politicians ap.
peared to be on kind of still hunt
for the purpose of looking the ground
over, and it is not believed that eth
er one of them gained much encour-
agement from their Investigations in
bllS SbdGG.
In fact, the Miner gets it from a
pretty reliable source that Mr.. Bur
ton, when in Helena last week, was
wise and generous enough to speak in
praise of the manner in which Presi-
dent Wilson has handled the foreign
policy of this country.
With Mr.. Cummins on the other
hand, it is believed his candidacy de-
pends upon the duration of the war
and if he could be assured that it
would be over in six months or SO,
his hat would be in the middle of the
ring.
Generally speaking, republicans APP
pear to realize that if the conflict in
Europe continues another year or
more, the American people will not
swap horses in the middle of the
stream, but will re elect President
Wilson without the latter having to
make much of a fight.
The chances are that less than a
year hence the wise old birds in the
republican party will keep in the
background and hand the nomina
tion on a silver plate to some aspir.
ing member of their party whom they
want to kill off and over whose de-
feat they will not shed any tears.

YEARS RECORD GOOD

The federal government land Of
flee has fine record of work done
during the past year, by which more
than 100000 acres Of property have
been surveyed and put in shape for
legal conveyance to settlers. Much
of the work has been done where the
demand for the land is the greatest
namely, in states bordering on the
Pacific ocean. Society hardly does
justice to the fundamental, pioneer
ing work in social upbniIding which
surveyor and civil engineer do for
public or private employers. They
mark the metes and bounds for in
Vulnerable later generations of own
ers and users Of real property. When
their work is made valid by the
courts of record and once authenti-
Gated it takes on durable aspects not
often vouchsafed to mans work.

SEED CROP WILL BE LARGE

Alfalfa raising is spreading to the
higher prairie lands in this section of
the state, which is proven from the
reports coming from all localities as
to fine stands of this forage crop;
NJ. German OF western Sully county
reports a fine stand on his second
year field of seventy acres, and that
he had an excellent seed crop until
hail battered his field some time ago.
1t was feared for a time that the wet
weather would effect the seed crop
for this year, but raisers say the
change to dry and warm weather has
changed that situation, and that with
normal weather from now on bou n
ssiful seed crop will he harvested.

THE MONEY CHANGERS

Yankton Herald: The j. p. Nor
gan company this week received a
$1,000, 900. 900 shipment of gold bullion
from England. 1t there is anyone
who still wonders why certain inter
ests IN the east are trying to get this
country into war, this incident should
clarity the situation for them. To
the money-changers war is protita Bile
and to no one else. Behind aim ost
every war there are men who wilfully
embroll their country that they may
reap profit from it's havoc, These
men are not only murderers, they are
Judases selling their brothers for
pieces of silver.

MANTANA STATE EARN LOANS

Farmers in Montana can now take
advantage of the new farm loan law.
A farm loan department is establish
ed in the office of the treasurer of the
state and any farmer wishing a loan
can apply to his county treasurer on
form furnished. Loans are made
only on acreage property, and no loan
that will exceed one. half the value of
the value of the land OH it's produc-
tive basis will be taken. Against
such notes the state treasurer may
issue bonds and sell them.

HOMECOMING OF STOCKS

There are indications that we shall
witness homecoming Of American
stocks during the next few months.
European countries, and particularly
Great Britain, are hard put to main
tain credit in this country sufficient
for their needs. They have no gold
that they can spare, and that their
debts against the United States, save
as they are in the form of stocks and
bonds, have been liquidated is testi-
lied to by the price of exchange. Only
two recourses are left to them.
Either they must negotiate loans on
their bonds or they must relinquish
their holdings of American stocks
and bonds. Already, of course, they
bonds to be converted into banki ing
credit, but this has been done in a
limited way which testifies their re-
luctance TO surrender these securities.
They are still no less reluctant, but
the necessity which overcomes reluc-
tance is becoming constantly more
imperious. They must sell or borrow
and perhaps do both if they are to
continue to get from us the things
which they so indispensably need
Whatever the means, it is to the
highest interest of the United States
to have them maintain their credit
here, for it is on their credit that
they must draw to pay for what we
have to sell.

THE SUCCESSFUL OWES

Redtield Journal: 1t surely is quite
pitiful to hear the wall of former
South Dakota citizens who thought
that fields little farther away might
prove little more remunerative and
moved away only to be stung and
wish now that they were back in the
best state IN the nnion. The
"stayer" always comes out ahead in
the long run.

NEW SCHOOL LAW EFFECTIVE

A new school law went into effect
on July 1st, which advances the COM
pulsory age of students from fifteen
to sixteen years. The new law pro-
vides that every boy and girl in the
state shall attend school every day
until the sixth grade is passed. Af-
ter the completion of the sixth grade
the student must attend school at
least four months each year until
sixteen.
