Much as the politicians wish to
have people believe they know how
the election is going 1t is safe to say
they are all at sea. The silent voter
is keeping the wiseacres all guessing.
Leaders on both sides are making
strong claims, based on the wish that
they may win. The ren who will do
the voting and who are quietly and in
t~erestedly figuring out issues will
decide the election. not the polite.
ians who are doing the talking. 1t is
safe to say that fifty per cent Of the
voters may be classed among the
silent crowd. And these men will
turn the election as their majority
goes. They are the thinking men, the
men who weigh things and who vote

An officer Of the national guard in
New York has resigned and said;
THE national guard is through" when
asked about the matter. He went on
to say that as soon as the service on
the border ends nearly all the men
will get out, never to return. He had
no complaint to make as to treatment
or conditions. The non simply do not
care to be caught again in a situation
such as we now have. Boom times all
over the country may have something
to do with this feeling. Young men
like to have their part in the affairs
of their respective communities. The
small pay and inaction at the front
makes them feel, perhaps, that they
are losing their time end home oppor-
tunities with practically nothing for
it. 1t may not be the proper spirit to
display. But if this officer is correct
there is such a spirit. Better pay FOR
the men while on duty might change
the situation. \ condition seems to
exist which may necessitate a change
of system. In that case why not try
the Swiss method of military ser
vice?

The news columns of all the daily
papers last Thursday carried the in
formation that Armour & Co, of Chi
cage, had declared a 400 per cent
dividend in the form Of a stock in
crease from $40, OO0, 900 to 800, 0OO, O0O.
This is the new method OF big bust
ness" Instead Of cutting the melon
and giving each stakeholder his piece,
in the way of cash, his stock is in,
creased and the public will have TO
carry the burden of the increase. I'm
der our constitution, as now interpret
ed, confiscatory laws can not be pass
ed in trying to regulate trade charges.
For instance: if the government were
to try to regulate the price of meat it
could not cut the price below a figure
which would pay a reasonable return
on capital stock after overhead
charges were taken care of. This is
why all big concerns are now swelling
their capital stock. They are prepar-
ing for future attempts at regulation.
The same day hat Armour & Co. cut
its big melon bacon retailed in Chi
cage at 80 cents per pound. There Is
a big difference between that price
and the price our South Dakota farm
ers are getting for the live hog. There
ought to be regulation, but how and
when?

If Amendment No. l carries at the
general election this fall the State of
South Dakota can sell coal to the peo-
pie from state-owned coal lands as
well as secure its share OF the applo-
priations for good roads from the U.

There are thousands OF acres of coal
lands owned by the state, and If the
coal was mined and put on the mar
ket it would be much cheaper. Let us
make it unanimous on Amendment
No. /.

A story is told of the worst boy in
his class. His teacher was angered Dy
his persistent stubborness and de-
fiance, and determined to punish him.
During the severe punishment she was
struck forcibly by the frail body
which showed little nourishment ana
the ragged coat which covered it, and
a wave Of pity swept over her. She
thought of the hard lot of the stubborn
little chap, of the loveless home from
which he came, OF the starved soul in
its squalid surroundings. Tears sprang
to her eyes while the boy sulked, his
spirit still ~unbroken. He saw the teams
and for the first TIME in months broke
down. In an impulse of tenderness
his teacher took him into her arms
and the two wept together. That was
religion in action. Both felt it, and
both came out CT 1t the better for 1t.
She was a better teacher; he a better
boy. He found himself; knew that hui.
man sympathy was not all dead and
went on to a better life. Together
they worked out the boys salvation,
and he rose to be a splendid chararter
and prominent man OF affairs. The
story Of this boy is the story Of true
religion. Sympathy. kindness and
love are the foundations on which 1,
is built. Little else counts in the
great drama of life. The rest is either
farce or tragedy

FISKE ANSWERS Chief
in Wine CONTROVERSY
Admiral Declares the Impression that
Naval Officers Drink Too Much
Has Impaired Service.

Another chapter has been added to
the controversy between Secretary of
the Navy Daniels and his former
chief aid and adviser, Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske.
1t is a letter written by Admiral
Fiske and made public last night on
the subject of Secretary Daniels wine
mess order. A Photographic copy of
the communication is to be included
in the hearings Of the House Naval
Affairs Committee at the authors re-
quest as a reply to what he alleges
to be Secretary Daniels misrepresen-
tation of his attitude on the much dis
cussed question of intemperance among
naval officers.
The letter was written under date
OF May "a, 1914. when the prohibition
order was under consideration.
Admiral Fiske takes the surgeon
general of the navy to task for the
assertion that Cumerous cOurts-martial
OF officers for drunkenness were
detrimental to the reputation and good
name of the service.
OF this Admiral Fiske SAYS: u think
am not wrong in saying that there
went into the mind of every person who
read this statement, man. woman or
child, an impression that officers of the
navy drank more than they should, ana
that the surgeon general of the navy
found II necessary to call the attention
Of the Secretary to the fact. The Teputa-
ton of the navy suffered in the minds of
every single person who read the state
ment. Every single officer in the navy
was injured by that statement. The only
possible justification for the statement
and for its publication throughout the
world would be that the statement was
true. II the statement were true, 1
would have nothing to say. and the
officers Of the navy and their friends and
families would feel no sense Of indigna-
tion. but the statement is not true"
He asserts that he has never known
case of drunkenness aboard ship due to
the wine mess.

GERMANY PLAYS
FOR MORE Time
Will Make Counter Proposals
on Submarine Issue,
Gerard Reports.
WON'T MEET u. S. DEMAND
Note Prepared by Lansing Now Be-
fore President for is Final
Consideration.

Germany is ready to make counter
proposals or discuss compromise on the
submarine issue, but will not cede un-
conditionally to any American demand
Implying radical modification OF her
methods of submarine warfare. This, in
nutshell, represents the present at
titude OF the German government as AM
bassador Gerard at Berlin understands it.
The situation here remained unchanged
yesterday.
President Wilson Is understood to now
have the note which Secretary of State
Lansing has prepared before him. Both
Senator Stone and Chairman Flood, of
the Foreign Relations Committees, eX-
pect to be summoned to the White House
today.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff takes the
view that 1t is useless to worry in ad-
vance and that If he permitted himself
10 be seriously disturbed every time the
submarine issue became acute, he would
have grown gray and old before now.
Consequently, he is waiting calmly un-
Til the President makes his next move.
Germany takes the position that 1t does
not want a break in friendly relations
with the United States, that 1t has been
willing to make concessions to avoid a
break, and that 1t Is still willing to make
concessions, regardless of the fact that
England has conceded nothing to the
American demands" But the German
government feels that military necessity
in its fight for national existence" COM
peIs 1t to draw the line against ceding
anything which would cripple the sub
marine as a weapon of naval warfare.
Here is the crux of the whole matter, ae-
cordlng to tho German viewpoint
The one hope entertained in German
quarters here is that the Presidents s
communication will not really force the
issue but leave basis for discussion
and compromise. If President Wilson
will be satisfied with more definite un-
derstanding as to the warning of mer-
chentmen by Gercan submarines the Ger
man government will meet him half way,
IL Is explained.
