NEW YORK, June 7.-Renewed manipulation of war and motor spec ialties and the abrupt decline of Canadian Pacific were contrasting features of a professional and ir regular market. General Electric advanced four and one-half points to 1S615, the highest in several years, ard general motors gained five, sell ing at 157, new high record. Bethlehem Steel came forward in the last hour rising nine and one half to 15S, within a point of the best quotation exactly one month ago The decline of Canadian Pac- fife, which fell 4 points to 1491s, the minimum quotation since 1908, when on ' per cent basis against the current 10, it tended to unsettle the entire list for a time. The weakness was more inexplicable as it rose over three points in London and gained over a point in initial local dealings, the latter presumably representing German interests.
 Reports that the British govern ment intended to take some railway shops and manufacture war muni- tions were also circulated.
 Coppers were again the strongest of the individual group, Amalgamat- ed adding to the recent gain on the successful dissolution of the com pany. together with a firmness in the metal market where the quota tion that ruled was 191h.
 Total sales amounted to 492.OOO shares, the par value of which az gre gated $1,732 900.

SOUTH AMERICAN LIKES POLICY

Washington, Dec. 7.-Latin-Am-
erica likes the United States new
Fan American policy. Definite as
surances of this We're given today as
the representatives of 20 American
republics responded to the welcome
Vice President Marshall and Secre-
tary Lansing extended to the second
pan-American Scientific conference.
Both speakers emphasized the new
pollcy of non interference in the af-
fairs of other American nations.
The object of the conference is to
bring about closer co operation in
i'an American relations in solving
trans portation, financial and scienti-
tic problems of common interest.

ed interest in American matters

A KINDLY ACT

II. G. Frlck, the Pittsburgh multi :
millionaire, has not as much to his
credit as have Carnegie, Rockefeller
and other professors of millions who
have given freely to some good pub
lie cause or worthy charity. But by
his act in the matter of failure of a
Pittsburgh bank he has doubtless
caused more real Joy than has been
occassioned by the expenditure of a
hundred times the amount it cost
Frick, by other millionaire giyers.
One of the large banks of Pitts
burgh became insolYent. Among its
depositors were Al 900 school chill
dren, Their total deposits amounted
to about $1,000
The sum total of the grief thus
caused among those Al 900 children is
hard to estimate. The few dollars
meant much to many of them. 1t
was hard blow TO their Christmas
cheer. And when Frick announced
that he would make good the entire
amount, he dispensed as much hap
piness as a Santa Claus, in the homes
Of thousands of children.
1t was commendable act. The
bank will eventually pay out the
greater part of its deposits, and if
Frlck accepts repayment for the
money he now advances, he will be
making a loan rather than q gift.
However, it is probable that he will
make free gift of the $170, 900 and
will permit the children to also re-
ceiye such part of their deposits as
they may from the liquidated assets
of the bank.
Mr.. Frick's act has given Joy to
many little ones. Aud at the same
time it will do much good TO Mr..
Frick. Nothing is better for the ma
tion's multi ti-millionaires than to ex-
perience the pleasure that comes from
making such use of their money
With this experience Mr.. Frlck will
doubtless be on the look out for other
opportunities to make good use OF
his great uper-abundance of money

THE PRIMARY MIX UP

The main topic for discussion in
South Dakota politically just at the
present is the manner in which dele
gates to the National Republican
convention should be selected, and
the arguments from different sources
run to the extremes as to method.
There are apparently several con-
tentions which are looked upon as
vital from various viewpoints, being
the rights of the people in selection
under the primary; the expense at
tendant upon selection, and the pos
sible political effect for the June
primary.
On the one side the argument is
put up that it is simply an impossi-
bility to select delegates on June 6 to
represent the state in a national con-
vention in Chicago the next day, and
any attempt to make selections at an
agreed public meeting of republican
leaders of the state in even through
in open meeting called publicly would
open the way to the charge Of 'cau-
Gus selection" in violation of the
principles of the primary. That this
would open the way for more radical
criticism than any other plan which
could be proposed. That the only
practical way is the calling of the
April primary. at which the people
will be given choice of delegates.

SOUTH DAKOTA METAL
MINE PRODUCTION IN 1915

The mine production of gold from
South Dakota in 1915 was 1850, 900,
compared with 81, 33993 sos in 1914, and
that OF silver was 1913 ,0o0 ounces.
compared with lT6 ,642 ounces in 1914
a nominal quantity of lead was pro-
duced. These are preliminary estl-
mates reported by Chas. w. Hender.
son of the United States Geological
survey. Since 1876 South Dakota has
produced 1892, ,677,0oo in gold and
6,026 o00 ounces of silver.
The Homestake mine and amalga-
nation cyanidation mills were oper-
ated continuously throughout the
year, with an increased output.
The Golden Reward cyanidation
mill was operated steadily on solie-
eous ore from It's mines, and during
the latter part of the year an addi.
tional product was sent to the mill
in the form of roasted sulphide or
blue ore. These snlphide ores had
never before been treated successfully
by cyanidation Results indicate
80 per cent extraction as compared
with 80 per cent without roasting.
Su|phide ore of sufficient grade is
sent to smelters.
The Mogul cyanidation mill was
operated steadily on company and
custom ore, with an increase in
capacity.
The Reliance cyanidation mill was
also operated steadily on company
and custom ore. The Trojan mine
and cyanidation mill were operated
regularly. The Wasp No. 9 Co. con-

THE GREAT AMERICAN POLICY

The President, Secretary Redfeld,
and other democrats high in authority
are giving much consideration to the
tariff, and what should be done to
meet conditions shat have come. and
others that are coming, as the result
of the war. Established American
Industries, new industries in contem~
plation, and the American scale of
wages, all are involved, American
Independence in the wide field of
manufacture has not yet been achiev-
ed. American wages must keep on a
basis of American comfort and fair
reward for labor performed.
Here we have protection in its plain
and logical form. We are to guard
ourselves against competition which
either has the start of us, or the ad-
vantage of US, in the important par
tlcular of cost of production. The
policy commends itself to all practical
men. 1t lies at the base of all we
have accomplished in the line of man.
ufacture and of general commercial
growth.
Nor is it a new thing for democrats
In authority to recognize the value of
protection and assist in applying it,.
They have done so before. In fact,
Whenever the responsibility has de-
volved on them they have always
done so. Elections have been won on
fierce and sounding TRADES against
protection and lofty Qualifications of
free trade, but the stump prom ses
made We're never redeemed. Protec-
ton, in some measure, would always
be served,
Thirty years ago we had the Morri-
son horizontal tariff bill, which Mr..
Randall decapitated. That carried
protection. Four years later came
the Mills bill, which passed the
House, but failed in the Senate. That
carried protection. Six years later
came the Gorman-Wilson bill, which
became law. That carried protec-
ton, but in such hugger- -mugger form
the law failed Latest came the I'm
derWood measure, much changed by
the Senate, but not strengthened suf-
lclently to either produce enough
revenue or hearten depressed bust
ness. That carries protection.
Let us set against those measures
the Dingley law, the most successful
tariff enactment, all things consi ider-
ed, in the history of the governme ent
That was drawn on frank protection
lines for straight protection purposes
There were no disguises of any kind
about it. The object was to raise
revenue, encourage home produ ctions
hearten business generally and re-
ward labor. 1t did all those things
so we'll, conditions of such prosper
lty were created within a few years
that the authors of the law recon-
mended its revision, not for the pur-
pose OF eliminating, but equalizing
the protection it carried. A new law
was necessary for the new conditions.
Protection cannot be kept out of
the revision that is coming, and the
more frankly and logically it is pro-
gided the better for the country.

BANK DEPOSITS GUARANTEED

Beginning Saturday, all deposits
in state banks in South Dakota, will
be guaranteed through the ba nix
guaranty fund which is provided
under the guaranty act of the last
legislative session. This fund is cre-
ated by levy of one fourth of one
per cent of the average daily dep osits
in state banks as shown by the re-
ports of January first of each year,
which are required to be made to the
guarantee fund commission, said levy
to be made first of the date of Febru-
ary first, 1916, and the first of each
February following until the guaran-
tee fund equals one and one-half per
cent OF the daily balances for the
date of January first of each year,
after which assessments cease until
the guaranty fund is so depleted to
one per cent of the total fund by pay
ments of losses that may occur, when
the levles are again made until the
fund reaches one aud one-half per
cent of the total daily balances. In
case of bank failure when there is
not sufficient amount in the fund to
pay the depositors in full, it becomes
the duty of the bank guaranty COM

cent which certificate becomes pay

dicate their desperation for a politl-

shortage of import revenue can be
traced to the shortcomings of the

almost completely stopped by the
European war and the ocean block

Ransom? Used to live here-big
house on the hill. Regular barracks,
empty for years. Talcott wants to
sell it,
The object of all this discussion,
Lysle Talcott had appeared at Rush
ton in the semblance of young nabob.
There was no doubt that he was a
most fortunate heir, for the Ransom
estate was conservatively estimated at
over a million.
Talcott had found little difficulty in
disposing of two farms and some cen
trail business property, for he was will
come to him unexpectedly and it had
