CHARLESTON, Jan. 1O-Attorney
General Lilly has made much ado in

characterized HIS administration Of

per cent during the Lilly regime over

The Telegram has received the fol-

paredness:
To the Editors of the Telegram:
It was with PLEASURE | read your
article in the Sunday Telegram on
National Preparedness"
Yes! am for it, too-and very
strongly at that; but not by any ma
tional volunteer movement. It won't
do, gentlemen.
In the first place, how many men
can afford to 20 to camp for sixty
days or more and would they find
their Jobs waiting for them when they
returned from camp?
Or, II the employer also happens
to be volunteer, will there be any
business waiting for him when he re-
turns? Yes. A peck OF trouble will
have accumulated, you may bet! Who

friend, Stuck, and his staff enlist?
Who is going to run the banks while
oscar wilt, Hugh Jarvis and VIII
Lewis are gone? And then If Frank
b. Haymaker and his star should join
why half the people Of Clarksburg
would die for want Of physic.
Then, again, suppose our esteemed
editors of the Telegram, with their
manager and staff should shoulder
arms, who is going to run the paper?
and what the he'll are you going to GO

Republican Harmony.


The action OF the Democratic House
of Representatives at Washington in
voting to extend the so-called war
taxes for another year was expected.
The taxes, unless extended by imme-
,diate action, would have expired with
last month and the Senate hastily
passed the House resolution before its
adjournment for the holidays.
The real significance of the pro-
ceedingsc In the House was in the d.
vision Of the vote. Every Republi-
can and every member elected as a
Progressive voted against the exten-
sion, while five Democrats refused TO
support the administration program,
and also voted against continuing the
taxes, ostenslbly made necessary by
the war, but more correctly charac-
terized in Republican argument as a
result Of Democratic tariff legisla-
ton.
As could have been anticipated, the
consideration of the measure brought
out a somewhat extended debate on
the economic policies of the two lead
Ing parties and 1t was made very
plain that il the schedules OF the last
Republican tariff act were now In
force the government would not be
in the financial straits in which IT
now finds itself. Even with reduced
importations the revenue would be
sufficient to prevent a deficit on or
binary account.
1t is on the argument thus brought
forward that united Republican
and Progressive vote proves so sig-
nificant and gratifying. 1t means
harmony Of action pertaining to the
policies which will largely dominate
in the coming campaign and harmony
of action means readoption OF Repub-
lican policies by the nation.

belong to such an organization. Then
the national guardsman will feel that
he can be soldier and man.
1t is fitting and proper that the
national guard should now be recog-
nized as the next in importance to
the regular army. and If only for the
unselfish way in which the officers
and men have given OF their time and
service these many years past, and
hope that the day is not far distant
when the national guard will be as
efficient as the men Of the line and
that they may be looked up to ana
respected by the civilians of our
states.
Yours for national preparedness,

that the people are going to look into
his record along this line rather than
accept any high-sounding promises
of economy and retrenchment."

GRILL CAFE BADLY DAMAGED
BY FIRE THIS MORNING

Fire about $3.50 this (Friday)
morning was the cause of damage
amounting to over 81 900 in the Grill
cafe, and will result in the closing
of that popular eating establishment
for several days until the proper re-
pairs can be made. The blaze was
first discovered by the kitchen force,
when a gust of fire seemed to literally
shoot from the floor. it was found
that the floor under the large
kitchen range was afire and that the
blaze had already attained consider
able headway.
The fire alarm was given and the
department responded at once. They
had considerable trouble in locating
the exact base of the fire, however,
and in order to reach the blaze they
carried hose, from which a stream
Of water was issuing, through the
Kihm hotel, to rear window, where
it was again brought out and the
stream directed upon the flames
through the rear basement windows
of the Grill. The blaze proved a
stubborn one, however, and a call for
additional hose was turned in. After
an hour of fighting the fire was fin
ally extinguished, but not until con-
siderable damage had been done by
fire, smoke and water. About a foot
of water in the basement destroyed
a large quantity of food stuffs which
were stored there. The stock of the
Model Clothing Co. was also damaged
to quite an extent by smoke, and the
Kihm hotel lost quantity of goods
on account of the basement flooding.
The building in which the Grill is
located is owned by Mrs. Theckla
Berry of Glendive, and the cafe
equipment by C. A. Hughes. The
loss is covered by insurance, and Mr.
Hughes will put the Grill in shape
for business again as soon as the
loss adjustment is made.

forts of the Dickinson men failed to
reverse the score. During the second
half Valley City scored 10 points 70
10 for Dickinson, making the final
score SO to 19.
Valley City's victory came largely
as result of their clever passing
and excellent basket shooting. Dick
inson, though fighting an uphill bat
tie against great odds, gave pretty
exhibition and had good fortune fav-
ored them in the slightest degree,
the score would have been the other
way.
For Dickinson, Erb, Richards and
Butler were the score getters, Erb
getting three field shots and Richards
and Butler two each. Butler rc-
placed Richards in the second half,
Richards taking Morrison's place at

The largest number of fouls were

the charge that "Certain Dickinson
influences are again meddling in Dunn

will put up money to fight Dunn

being charged with corruption-Kill-

to be the county seat of Dunn.
The alleged fact that Dickinson was
financially backing Manning in their
county seat retention fight was not
known until the Dunn Center papers,

arrived in Dickinson. 1t was quite a
