ROOT LEADS REPUBLICANS

Washington, July l0--Elihu Root
is easily in the lead as republican
candidate for the presidential nomin-
alton. Neither Roosevelt nor Taft
are being considered by the party
managers.
This is the conclusion of canvass
recently made by Washington poll
ticians. The latter have been writ
ing to members of the party in all
parts of the country, seeking line
of public sentiment and asking about
local political activities. The replies
are remarkable in their unanimity.
With hardly an exception, Root is
named as the tavofite for the stand
pat u. o. P. nomination., and other
candidates are named in the follow
ing order: Weeks, Burton, Fair
banks and Mann. There are occa-
sional mentions of Borah, and in
some cases the writer suggests that
it would be wise if a progressive re-
prblican "of the type of Cummins" I"
were named, but practically all take
it for granted that the party manag
ers will not name progressive of
the type of Cummins, but will name
someone of the pronounced order
and that someone they believe to be
Root.

IMPORTANT DECISION

Judge Elliott of the United States
district court recently handed down q
decision which is of great Importance
to all homestead owners, inasmuch
as it confirms their right to home
stead exemption to the value of S5,-
600 against all Indebtedness except
mortgage.
A Lincoln county farmer was ad-
judged a bankrupt. He resided on
quarter section of land with his fam
lily, which was incumbered by mort
cages and Judgment liens for over
$4,000. Under the status of this
state the head of family is allowed
homestead exemption to the value
of $1,000. In this case the value Of
the land owned by the bankrupt was
not SIS, 900 above ali the mortgage and
and Judgment liens.
The referee in bankruptcy held that
the value of the land and not the
value of the claimants interest in
the land, was the measure of the
amount of land which could be set
off to him rs homestead. In many
cases under this decision, home
stead exemption would be forfeited
in part or entirely.
The decision of the referee was re-
versed by Judge Elliott. He held
that the homestead, to the value Of
$4,000 is exempt, as against all claims
except mortgages. This preserves to
every homestead owner continued
title to the value of s5 900, when the
value Of the land is SIS 900 above the
mortgages.
Judge Elliott also held that the
homestead holder may select the land
on which the dwelling house Is situ-
ated, to the value of $5 900. And IL
the homestead and other lands are
sold to satisfy mortgages, the other
other lands must first be sold; and
the portion reserved by the owner as
his homestead exemption can be sold
only to make up any deficiency in
payment. of mortgages. And if it is
necessary to sell such homestead se-
lection to make the full amount of
the mortgages, the homestead owner
must be paid the amount received
above the amount of mortgages, to
the extent of $4,000, before any por-
tion OF the proceeds can be applied to
the payment of general creditors.
Under Judge Elliott's decision, the
$4,000 homestead exemption is CON
lirmed as against all claims except
mortgage.

TO BLOW UP KRUpP WORKS

London, july l3. w it'll the slogan,
act from the air, English aeronauti-
cal magnates have started a move
ment to build a fleet of 10000 aero
planes and starting a department of
ministry of aviation. Their purpose
IS TO deluge German ammunition
works and supply works with bombs.
Eiinn Desbeldes originated the
idea. One of his purposes is batter
ing down, by daily air raids. nine
bridges spanning the Rhine. One
train crosses the Rhine every ten
minutes with ammunition, food and
reinforcements for the German armies
in Flanders. One thousand aero
planes within week could destroy
every bridge over the Meuse and the
Rhine, said Desbeldes.
Desbeldes' statement to the news
papers said: Batter down Rhine
bridges by daily air raids, and trench
warfare in France is ended. Send
1000 aeroplanes carrying five bombs
each over the krupps munition
works and the German armies will be
paralyzed. He said 2,l60 trains
passed over the Rhine daily and later
crossed the Meuse. ''If we can smash
the krupp works with aeroplane
raids, we can hamstring Germany :.
We want aeroplanes going to and
coming from Germany like ants about
an anthill, but going with 800 pounds
of explosives and coming back empty,
until the war ends. We want daily
service Of destruction to the enemy.
Destroy the Rhine bridges over which
supplies are transported and the Ger
man armies and the kaiser will be
on their knees.

THE RICHARDS PRIMARY

While it is early to talk politics,
if the courts should hold that the
legislature had no right to tamper
with law which the people them
selves had framed and placed upon
the statutes, it will mean lot of
lightning action on the part of politi-
cal aspirants, as such decision
would mean proposal committee Sc
lections in December next, which
would not be a very long campaign
as campaigns go in this state. Of
course if that right is upheld, the
primaries will not be until next June
and there Will be no need of haste on
the part of the candidates to get their
names before the people. But upon
the holding of the courts depends the
issue as to whether the primary cam
palgn is to spring at once into exist
ence or lag until next spring.
Any candidates for places other
than congressional and governor are
just keeping still. and waiting the
outcome Of the Richards suits.
Thee feature which might be called
active is the suit by r. o. Richards
to get test on the right of the legis-
'ature to repeal or amend an initial
ed law, which was presented in cir
cut court in Beadle county some
time ago, and on which decision by
Judge Taylor of the Ninth circuit is
expected at some time in the near
| future. 1t is intended to bring this
| case to the state supreme court, what
ever the decision of the circuit Judge,
and the suit was brought with that
intent. Another suit along the same
line has been commenced in the Unit
ed States court with the intent OF
getting the issue before the United
States supreme court if possible for
a decision of that tribunal.

IRONING OF 500 GRADE

Faulkton, July II. Years, many
years ago. when the country between
Pierre and Aberdeen was young, and
the Hub City, along with the state
capital, and Faulkton, was in its
gwadling clothes. the 500 railroad
planned line from Aberdeen to
Pierre, and even built the grade be-
tween the two towns, through Faulk.
ton. But hard times came, and the
grade WAS never ironed.
Nearly every spring since then,
except when times have been extreme"
ly dull, a rumor has gained circula-
tion that the 500 or some other com
pany had arranged to iron the 500
grade. This year the rumor has
again made It's appearance, when a
company of prosperous appearing
but mysteriously behaving gentle
men, travelling by automobile, passed
through Faulkton along the route of
the 500 grade, and let it be known
they were the representatives of the
corporation which is the present
owner Of the grade, and that the cor
poratlon planned to iron the 500
grade and place new railroad in
operation at once between Aberdeen
| and Pierre. If rumor becomes fact,
the line would open up q rich section
of country which is at present with
out adequate rail facilities.

THE GERMAN REPLY

Huron Huroulte: Anothe chapter
in the discussion between the United
States and Germany over the right of
the latter country to slaughter Ameri-
can citizens because Germany is at
war with other countries comes in
the reply OF Germany TO the second
American note
The United States, not being salts
fed with the rejoinder, intends to
prolong the debate.
Germany declines to assume re-
sponsibility for the sinking of the
Lusitania and the drowning of Amer
lean passengers, placing the blame
for that tragedy upon England, which
is btockading German ports in an eff
fort to starve the German people in
to subjection.
Something has been gained by the
correspondence Germany promises
TO discriminate in favor of American
ships and American passengers of
foreign ships, provided there is moth
ing contraband on the ships.
1t adheres to it's claim that the Lu-
sitania was laden with death dealing
appliances that were to be used
against German lives, although the
United States has presented proof
that there was nothing of the sort in
the cargo and that the liner was not
armed.
The reply by Germany is not satis-
factory.

WONDERFUL CROP STAND

Travellers who have covered this
section testify to the nnyaryin
excellence of the growing crops. They
say that the condition of the fields
was never surpassed and has seldom
been equaled.
Wheat and other small grain stands
high and strong, with Large and ro-
Dust heads and it is the opinion of
farmers that ten days wilt so perfect
the growth that the grain will i'm
muue from impairment. Rust, the
great enemy Of wheat, has given no
sign of its presence and Whlle it is
yet little early for its appearance,
it is scarcely considered by those
who are watching the fields.
Corn is backward, needing heat to
send it forward. But it is strong of
root and rich in color and a few days
of the right kind of weather will
boost it with amazing rapidity.
Alfalfa is immense, the fields show
ing wonderful growth. ~All around,
the crops of this section are in the
best possible condition. Moisture
distribution has been just right.
Last year the June precipitation was
far IN excess of that of this year. the
measurement being l1:a inches.
That was excessive and did not pro-
duce the crop abundance that was ex-
peeted. Bnt this year the precipita-
tion has been inst right and = harvest
