SOUTH DAKOTA is FOR WILSON

New York, Aug, % The normal Re-
publican majority in South Dakota is
about $1,000, yet James Nee, Demo
cratic national committeeman from
that state, who was a Visitor at head
quarters Of the Democratic nation al
committee today declared his belief
that the states electoral vote will go
to President Wilson in 1916.
Prosperity is winning many vuJes

Mr.. Nee I'VE have large scandina-
Wan population among our farmers
and their natural inclination is to be
for the government.
In addition to being prosperous
they appreciate the fact that this coun
try is not involved in the Europea
war.
Near Centcrville is a farmer whose
name is Il. l. Gunderson. On June
18th last he shipped 16 carloads of
South Dakota cattle to the Chicago
market. For these 1e cars he rec eivsd
the sum OF s41, 1860. That was u recor a
breaking price. 1 was the largest
amount ever paid for Is carloads Of cat
tie on the Chicago marlet. Other.
farmers are shipaing their cattle and
their produce to market and they like
wise are receiving breaking prices.
My personal opinion, based upon many
conversations, is thai they will not
want to change the administration. {, ~

BELIEVE MOTHER LODE
OF WALLAPAIS HIT

KINGMAN, Arizona, April 6.-What
is believed to be the mother lode Of the
Wallapai mountains has been struck at
shallow depth on the claims of the Tel
luride Chief mining company in the
Maynard district, 15 miles southeast of
Kingman. A ledge nine feet in width
was opened at depth of five feet while
grading for the foundation of a hoist.
Samples taken from this ledge gave re-
turns of SIS gold and silver and 10 per
cent. copper per ton. The company in
tends to sink it's main shaft to the wa
ter level, which is between 125 and $50
feet At the 100 level the company will
drive cross-cut to intersect the ledge,
which has been named the Big Swede.
1t has been traced for a distance of
1000 feet north and south.

PHOENIX, Ariz., April Captain
Cromwell Stacey, nspector-instructo
Arizona National Guard, has received
unofficial advice from sne war depart
ment of his assignment to similar duty
with the state of Illinois. Stacey is the
third army officer sent to Arizona to
help put the militia of the state on it's
feet, and his promotion to Illinois fol-
lows request by Gov. Hunt for his
removal. The secretary of war, under
the law, had no alternative but to ac-
ceed to the governors request, which
came as result of recent disclosures
of the inefficiency and incompetency
of the national guard. The blame for
the present condition of affairs in the
guard is placed by the war department
and three army officers on Adjutant
General Harris, an appointee of Gov.
Hunt. Stacey's new appointment comes
in the nature of a promotion as the Illi-
nois National Guard is one of the larg-
est and most efficient in the country.

EDITORIAL
TIMELY ADVICE

Walter Damrosch is the conductor of
a symphony orchestra in which thirteen
nationalities are represented, including
all the nations now at war. The com
pany has now begun it's annual tour Of
three months to the leading cities Of the
country. Before starting, Mr.. Dam
rosch gave the members some advice
which is worthy Of consideration by
other Americans of foreign birth.
Like all thoughtful men, Mr. Dam
rosch recognized, and did not decry the
fact, that naturalized citizens of this
country have ties Of love and traditional
loyalty which bind them to their native
countries. But, almost in the same
breath, he admonished them that they
were all Americans, no matter in which
counry they were born, and he gave
them this pertinent suggestion, without
mincing language:
Do not think that all the patriotism
and bravery demonstrated in this war
are found only in the country in which
you were born. These qualities have
been demonstrated with equal fervor by
the people Fall the nations engaged
in the struggle .
Then, by way of repetition and to
clinch home the basic thought regarding
the duty of naturalized Americans, Mr..
Damrosch said:
Do not think that all the patriotism
and civilization Of our time came only
from the country of your birth. There
are great scientists and artists to be
found in every one of the contesting
countries, and there are also a great
number Of citizens in these countries to
whom their great men mean nothing
and who may still be classed as bar
barians.'
In sentence which stands out clear
and definite and which rings true, the
director made an invocation which
should appeal to every right-minded
citizen of this country. Speaking Of the
terrible slaughter and, suffering Of the
war, he said: "Let us thank God that
we are Americans, and that we live in
country which is today free from such
terrible slaughter"

SPANISH SHIPPING AND THE
WAR

It is striking evidence of the scarcity
of ocean-going tonnage, and the CORES
ponding good fortune for the maritime
industry of neutral countries that the
Spanish Government has suspended it's
subsidies. Spain's mercantile marine
contains few, IF any, ships of the first
class, but is numerous enough to main
tain fourishing traffic in the Mediter-
ranean, along the African West Indies
and Mexico. New York is port of call
for its regular transatlantic lines.
With the aid of subsidies Spain's
deep-sea feet was carrying almost fifty
per cent of her exports when the war
began. War profits became so large
that the stronger companies voluntarily
surrendered this aid, some while ago,
according to report of the American
Consul at Barcelona. Now all subsidies
have been withdrawn. Unlike Norway
or Sweden, Spain has not suffered heavy
losses from the undiscriminating at
tacks on neutral shipping by Germany's
submarines.

WHOSE SUBMARINES?

In reply to the inquiries OF the Wash
ington Government, Turkey announces
that no Turkish submarine was In the
neighborhood of the Persia when that
steamer was torpedoed in the Mediter-
anean and went down with more than
two hundred of those on board, includ-
ing American Consul r. M. McNeely.
AS Germany and Austria have al
ready denied that any of their submar-
ines. committed the brutal act, we are
left to suppose that the Persia sank her
self.
The American people are getting
tired Of these constant disclaimers from
Germany and her allies. We have been
treated from the first to subterfuge and
falsehood We have been cajoled,
threatened and scoffed in turn. The
statement from the Ottoman Govern
ment means nothing at all, except that
Constantinople is unwilling to admit it's
responsibility for the destruction of the
Persia. The Sultan's advisors decline
to shoulder the burden Of infamy that
Berlin and Vienna would gladly put
upon them.
The one outstanding TACT In all the
submarine discussion is that steamships
are sunk with innocent nom -combatants
on board and that the sinking is done
in exact accord with the boldly pro-
claimed naval authorities. No admiralty
or belligerent nation on the side of the
Entente has expressed any such anlbi
tions as are frankly entertained at Ber
lin and Kiel. Neither Great Britain,
France nor Italy has ever been sus-
pected of endorsing such programme
Of undersea frightfulness as the Ger
mans have been eager to carry through.
When, therefore, ship sinks under
mysterious conditions; when there is
conflict Of testimony, or the evidence
is technically inconclusive, it need not
be morally SO. The guilty party can be
easily detected The offender can be set
down as the nation with a motive that
fits the known facts.
The burden of proof in every such
case rests with Germany, the principal
and instigator in these submarine atroc-
tiles. It is her business to clear herself
if she can. But it will be hard to con-
vince the world at this late day of her
innocence.
