BELOW THE RIO GRANDE

The National Guard boys who have
been called by President Wilson for
border patrol service, and possibly
duty in Mexico, are not going forth TO
a picnic but rather to a long drawn
out campaign against a race of ex-
tremely suspicious, ignorant and vacil-
lating people.
Ignorance has been the restraining
hand in Mexico since its beginning and
the same influence makes it very ear
impossible for those benighted Mexi-
cans to understand the motive direct
ing our campaigns. The a~rtistocracy
of Mexico is the disturbing element
and the oppressed peon is easily sway
ed by promises Of wealth and land,
neither of which they could use if
they had it. The good men of Mexico
have either left the country or been
killed and there is not today a known
man who could rule that country with
any degree OF success.
II is the opinion of the broad minded
Mexicans, American residents Of that
country and men familiar with condi-
tons there, that the only alternative
for this country is the establishment
of a protectorate over Mexico similar
TO that placed over Cuba. Influences
similar to those that wrecked Cuba
have been, and are, predominating in
Mexico.
War equal to that with Spain is i'm
possible because the MeXicans have
not the money, food, munitions or
leadership. The majority of the men
who make up the Mexican army are
undrilled, have no clothing and are at
the point Of starvation. One OF the
amusing things to those who have
seer a Mexican army is its inorganic
ed dirty and Ill kept appearance, The
women run the commissary and with
the armies can be seer families with
all their household effects, old men and
women, kids, dogs, cats, burros, and a
varied assortment of trah.
With it all the United States will
not have an easy task.

ceive as much as two days pay for
one days work.
The Brotherhoods have made it part
of their demand that the men shall
have the right to retain any of their
present privileges which they consider
more favorable to themselves than the
terms of their demands, and which the
Railways say would a~ggravate the
effect of the higher basis.
Elisha Lee, Chairman of the Railway
Conference Committee, in announcing
its decision to decline the demands,
pointed out that the present rates and
rules are largely the result Of recent
arbitration awards, that in the judg-
ment of the committee they provide
liberal compensation and favorable
working conditions and that the best
obtainable estimate indicates that to
accept the proposals would increase
the cost of railway operation by ap-
proximately 800, OOO, 900 a year, all of
which must eventually be borne by the
public.
Your proposals." the railroad state
ment said, ARE so inherently and fun
d~amentally opposed to the views or
this committee that We feel constrain-
ed TO decline and do hereby decline
them. Our conferences have demon
strated that we cannot harmonic our
differences of opinion and that event
ually the matters in controversy must
be passed upon by other and disilter-
ested agencies. Therefore, we propose
that your proposal and the proposition
of the Railways be disposed of by Il
or the other of the following methods,
preferably by submission to the Inter
state Commerce Commission, the only
tribunal which by reason of it's accum-
ulated information bearing on railway
conditions and its control of revenue
of the railways, is in position to con
slider and protect the rights and equi-
ties of all interests affected, and to pro-
vide the additional revenue necessary
to meet the added cost of operation in
ease your proposals are found by the
Commission to be just and reasonable,
or, in the event that the Interstate
Commerce Commission cannot under
existing laws act in the premises, that
we Jointly request Congress to take
such action as may be necessary to
enable the Commission to consider
and promptly dispose of the questions
involved or by arbitration in accord
ance with the provisions of the Federal
law"

Settlement of the railway wage con-
troversy ether by arbitration. or pre-
ferably by submission to Interstate
Commerce Commission, was proposed
by the Railways on June Is at the con-
clusion of their conference in New
York with officers of the Brotherhoods
of Train Employees, who are demand

and one-half for overtime.
The Brotherhood leaders declined
both proposals and announced their in
tention of taking a strike vote.
The Brotherhood leaders on the pre-
ceeding day had precipitated a break in
the negotiations, which had continued
two weeks without any approach to
agreement, by refusing to consider any
modification of Their demands in accord.

OVER A MILLION FOR SCHOOLS

Over a million dollars was paid into
the various state educational funds
through the state land department for
the fiscal year just closed, the show
ing being $1,O95,737 The common
schools of the state got 93,463.10 OF
this and the balance went TO the differ
ent endowed state institutions.
Commissioner Hepperle of the land
department has just made the June
semi-annual apportionment of the IN
terest and income fund to the common
schools of the state, this is the last ap-
portiOnment of the fiscal year and
amounts to s775,376, being s4.4S for
each pupil in the schools of the state;
which is II cents per pupil larger than
the apportionment of last June. The
total amount apportioned for the fiscal
year is 1898, 1910, being S5.74 for each
pupil in the state. Besides this appor-
tionment to the public schools, there
has been apportioned to the different

Huron College, and the Beadle county
institute not yet in progress, the pros
meets for the biggest and in many
WAYS the best ummer session or the
college is being entered up. the SIX
teenth annual session Of the Huron
College summer school opened on
Wednesday, June II, and will continue
for six weeks. The Beadle county
teachers institute will be held at
Huron College two weeks beginning
June 27.
The summer school which is now IN
progress consists of class room WORK
and lectures in regular and special
subjects. President H. NJ. Gage de-
livers an interesting lecture each
r!orning at 10 o'clock to the ensemble
students. Teachers and students from
nearly every county in the state have
enrolled for the work during these SIX
weeks of summer school. 1t is expect
ed that at the opening of the institute
on June %, the increase in the number
of enrolled feathers will be exceeding
ly great.
Professor c. ". Hochstetler OF
Huron College, is director of the sum-
mer school, and under his efficient
management the work of the session
was commenced without delay on the
opening day. Normal studies and
music are among the most popular
subjects being taken. Courses are
given in English, Latin, History,
Mathematics. Economics, Education,
Science. Public Speaking and Debate,
Primary Work, Drawing, Domestic
Science, Violin and Piano.

MID-sEAsoN BUSINESS GOOD

Gratifying reports from all sections
of the United States indicate that the
usual mid-season stacking of business
has failed to materialize.
Crops are generally good with the
exception of portions CT the northwest
delayed on account of cool weather
and rains. The southwest reports good
rains filling out winter wheat. Har.
vesting Is on in Texas and Oklahoma,
and next week should see southern
Kansas and Tennessee cutting. Texas

to appreciate the warmth of Bryan's
personality. But the fact that, in spite
of his unusual political tenets and his
serious mistakes in public life, the
rank and file of his party still melts
for Bryan, the man, is powerful testi-
mony to his spiritual bigness.
Bryan wept when the story of Amer
ica's struggle for peace was rehearsed
on the convention platform the other
day. There are not many men in Amer.
can public life today whose hearts are
deeply enough enthralled by any pub
lie cause to make any such involuntary
demonstration under stimulus equally
strong. But Bryan's strongest stimu-
lus to emotion on the subject Of peace
is his W heart. He has preached
peace and lived it, asleep and awake,
ever since the peace Of his country has
been threatened. He has sweat blood
for il and faced the storm Of popular
Indignation TO satisfy his conscience
in its behalf.
The result is that Bryan's soundness
of judgment on practical affairs of
state commands less confidence than it
ever did before he quit the Wilson cab
met. But there is no more wholesome
in American politics today than
Bryan's idealism, call it sentimental
if you like.

THE POLITICAL EPOCH OF 1915

Minneapolis Tribune:-The year
1916 must be regarded as a real epoch
in American political hitory. No stu.
dent who compares the present Demo
cratic and Republican platforms can
escape the conclusion that he is con-
fronted with a striking phenomenon.
On the subject Of the tariff the two
documents are practically agreed. This
is as remarkable in its way as If the
Catholics and Protestants were 10
unite upon the question of the infalli-
bility Of the Pope.
For a period of more than half a
century protection has been orthodox
faith TO the one party and sheer here
say 10 the other. For a period OF more
than half a century the two political
sects have wrangled continuously over
the validity Of this principle. The Dem.
ocrats have consistently claimed that
protection represented a form of class
plunder; the Republicans have as con-
sistently claimed that it represented
an insurance against national impover-
ishment.
The month of June. 1915. brings a
halt in this historic controversy-per-
haps the end. At least II finds the two
great parties at last in substantial
agreement upon the issue which has
inspired their most persistent rivalry.
II has not come about, of course, that
the Democracy has openly ~espoused
the cause of protection, but it has
abandoned the fetch of free trade and
no longer summarizes its attitude as
to the tariff in terms of revenue only
Under the promptings of the President
IL has adopted the Republican device
of a tariff commission, TO which is to
be committed the business of advising
Congress as to the effect of import
duties not alone upon the Of
the country but upon the profitable
operation of its industries; from which
position it is no longer in any state tC
wage a controversy with the Republi
cans over the wisdom and propriety o.
the principle of protection. In fine
the Democrats, led by Mr.. Wilson
whose readiness to change his mind /:
self-confessed, have moved W on the
side Of the tariff to a position not dis
tinguishable from that occupied by the
Republicans and against which theil
guns have been trained from the be
ginning.

REPORTS MINIMIZE STORM

The hail storm, wind and rain which
visited the northern part of the county
Monday afternoon of last week was,
according to all reports, n of the
worst storms in many years. The
storm belt extended west from Hen
bricks, Mimi, to the central part of the
state, north and south for forty or fifty
miles of Brookings. Considerable dam
age has been reported to all vegetation
but later reports indicate that the dam
age to growing crops is much less than
first reported. The sections around
Bruce and White and between the two
places seem to have suffered the great
est.
The Bruce Herald says: The report
from Preston township in the neigh
borhood of LOOMS and Cotton district,
says the crops are pretty nearly ruin
ed and even wire fences were blown
down. Farther east in the neighbor-
hood of Robert Kerr, the storm was ex-
,tremely bad and crops are all down and
nearly ruined. Just east and southwest
of town the storm is reported not quite
so bad but considerable damage has
been done. In fact in this whole sec
ton near Bruce much damage has re-
suited and the old settlers say it was
the most sudden and destructive hail
storm they ever saw here. In some
places hail was several inches deep and
many window lights broken. Some
small buildings were blown over.
In describing the effects of the storm
in the ection surrounding White, the
Leader has the following to say: About
$3.50 the storm began to gather and at
400 everyone realized we could not
escape some of its fury. The clouds
grew menacing and ugly looking and
a number Of u people were ready to
hike for their cellars as soon as 1t
struck. Just before it reached the out
skirts Of the town it parted somewhat
thus breaking it's force somewhat, some
of it going to the south of us and the
heaviest to the north. The wind blew
a terrific gale for a few minutes and
torrents of rain fell although we have
not heard of much hail falling in the
town itself. However a couple Of miles
west and north Of us the storm got in
is work and took in a wide area pound.
ing the crops in the grounl and in some
places stripping the trees Of their fol.
iage. The hail was accompanied by a
great wind and IS a result a number
of our farmers lost stock and poultry,
1t is thought that most Of the grain
will come out all right again although
it will be delayed a couple of weeks.
With promise of good warm weather
we believe it will. Anyway we are
fortunate it did not ONE later when
the crops were further advanced OF
the loss would have been complete.

THE IDEAL CIRCUS
IS COMING HERE

Il hate to see a circus with so many
rings and acts. In big show there is
so much to look at that one keeps bob
bling ones head all over the big tent
with the result that one doesn't see q
tenth of the performance l should
rather attend an old-fashioned one
ring circus, where l can see every
thing we'll"
In all parts of the country the above
sentiment is oftentimes expressed.
when big circs is billed to apupear.
This is true, where the management
of big show mixes all sorts of acts
together in a crazy connection. But
John Robinson's Ten Big Shows,
hich will exhibit in Americas We'd
nesday, November 22nd, afternoon and
evening, although one of Americas
largest amusement institutions, offers
no ground for such a complaint. The
experienced management of the great
John Robinsons Ten Big Shows long
since remedied this evil.
A circus program is made up OF
what is termed as displays" A dis
play is series of acts given stimuli
taDeously in the rings, on elevated
stages, in the air and on the hippo
d-ome. Instead of the display being
composed of several diverse acts, as is
often the case in circuses, John Rob
inson's Ten Big Shows displays are
made up of acts of the same kind. For
instance, if male or female eques-
trian act is being given in ring No. l,
the very same kind of feature will be
found in the other rings. If group
of aerialists appear at one end of
the great tent, another group will be
presented at the opposite end. Thus,
it is possible for the spectators at one
extremity of the canvas to see practi-
cally the same performances that the
people in the far end witness.
