ENTITLED TO ALLOWANCE

}. r. Handlin, state auditor, is a good
man and official. Not being fully salts
fled, a.he asked the attorney general
whether or not he was constitutionally
bound to pay the governor and the
Judges OF the supreme ceurt perquisjtes
of $50 per month each for office expense.
The attorney general told the auditor
that he had to pay the perquisites. This
leaves the auditor no choice.
That the allowance of expense ac-
counts for state officials in addition
to their salaries does not "increase
their compensation under the mean
ing of the constitution, is the opinion
of the attorney general, on inquiry
by the state auditor on his query as
to the rights of members of the su-
preme court to draw fifty dollars
month expenses, as provided by law
at the 1911 session. He holds that
expenses may be allowed in a reason
able amount, either on itemized
vouchers or in lump sum, and be
completely within the constitutional
provisions.
A bill to make a similar allowance
to other state officials was defeated
in the house on the ground that it
was unconstitutional. The railroad
commissioners of the state are made
a similar allowance of fifty dollars
per month as is given the supreme
court, and all Of these appropriations
would come under the ruling.

TWO NAVAL HEROES

Aberdeen American: There are
two naval heroes-heroes of different
nations whose names are very much
alike. They are Admiral Dewey of
the United States and Admiral Dewa
of Japan. Dewey is the hero of
Manila Bay and Dewa is the hero of
Port Arthur. This similarity of
names is responsible for an emhar-
rassing incident occurring a day or
two ago, when railroad was ordered
to place special car at the service
of Admiral Dewa and his staff. When
the Japanese admiral and his staff
attempted to enter the car, a railroad
employe who knew of but one naval
hero, the first three letters of whose
name are dew" elected the Japan
ese as he attempted to enter the car,
and near international incident was
started which may require all the
diplomacy of Secretary Bryan to
satisfactorily end.

RUSSIA'S BIG PART

Springfield Republican,: Whether

But from the Baltic to Bukowina,

whole of this great stretch must be

cupied by force. To do that would
require at least 100000 troops on
either side, and not even Russia with
Its huge population can keep G, 900 900
men constantly in the trenches. Thus
there are gaps and points of concen-
tratlon, and more room is left for
strategy of the normal sort than in
the western field where neither side
can be tlanked. Yet so long as the
Russians can avoid absolute disaster,
1T matters relatively little if they suf-
fer repeated defeats. The great point
Is the extent to which they compel
their opponents to strain their re-
sources, and it does not appear that
recent victories of the Germans In
Poland and of the Austrians in Buko-
wilma are likely to release any consid-
able forces for use against the allies
in the west.

TO LOAN TO FARMERS

An Important rider was attached
to the agricultural appropriation bill
in the senate and the bill passed the
senate as amended. Concurrence of
the house in the amendment, which
was introduced by Senator MeCum-
Der OF North Dakota, is yet to be
secured.
The provision seeks to create a
bureau of farm credits under the
direction of the treasury department,
which will be authorized to loan gov
ernment funds to farmers.
The amendment specifies that the
loans are to be made through nation.

per cent on farm mortgag notes to

and the minimum at $500.

provision, something will at last have
been done to encourage the pursuit

BUY A SOUTH DAKOTA FARM

A Rapid City man, Fred G. Mccain
suggests that it would be q good
scheme to start an agitation to "buy
farm in South Dakot This is a
scheme which will work both ways.
South Dakota needs more people,
And buyers of South Dakota land at
this time will profit from their in
vestment. The state is at q turning
point. 1t is now generally admitted
that this state is not a sure small
grain country. In fact it is doubtful
II there is any country which is sure
small grain country. 1t has been
proven beyond doubt that feed of all
kinds-corn, millet, alfalfa and sweet
clover-can be grown here. and that
cattle, hogs and horses can be raised
IN any part of the state at a good pro-
tit. With the abandoning of uncer-
tain small grain growing, and the
adoption of stock. silos and diversi-
lied farming, South Dakota land is
sure to advance in price. We need
more actual settlers-not more land
spectators. Aud at the present time,
after period of poor crops follow

there are many opportunities to buy
land at prices which will probably
never be equalIed again. "Buy a

TIPPERARY, IRELAND

Its Long Way to Tipperary, has
been sung at almost every entertain
ment in the British Isles, and where is
this city many people have no doubt
asked themselves. 1t is romantic old
place in Ireland near the base of the
Ilpperary hills, noted for their wild
beauty. The city is located about forty
miles northwest of Cork. and the quaint
old place, its folk lore and rural popu-
latlon is situated in the center of rich
agricultural region The city, the IN
corporation dates from 1910, has 10, 900
lnha abitants and is noted for it's antiuui-
ty, although there are few relics of its
departed grandeur now. When England
entered the present European war many
of the sturdy sons of Tipperary left
their employment and enlisted for SER
vice, and one Of England's crack repi-
ments are known as "The Iipperary
Tigers, " in honor of the county of tina t
name of which Tipperary is the name
