Stay With Your Ticket.

The voters of Mellette county will
soon be called upon to exercise their
right to choose officials. 1t is a part
of good citizenship to vote and we
hope the Republicans will not forget
their duty to party and country.
Often you hear person say that
he would not vote ticket straig ht,
and it is fact that each election finds
more scratched tickets. NJ man
should be so partisan as to vote his
ticket straight regardless of who the
candidates may be. Yet if candidates
OF his political faith are the equal of
those on the other side then there is
20 good reason why it should not be
voted straight.
The Republicans of Mellette county
this year have right to feel proud of
their ticket, for from the presidential
candidate on down to the county
candidates there is good clean
capable man to fill each place, Should
the Republicans line up solid behind
thelr ticket, at the coming election
there would be little guess work as to
the result in November. This is a
Republican year, and we firmly be-
lieve there will be a clean sweep of
Republican victory in National polit-
les, and also in the state and we should
see to it that the victory is carried on
down to our county ticket.

To Vote On Three County Bridges.

We notice by the Commissioners pro
ceediugs, which appear in this issue,
that the Commissioners have ordered
two more bridge propositions sub.
mitted to ii vote OF the people at the
coming November election. This will
give the voters of this county three
bridge propositions to vote on at the
the coming election, one to span the
Big White near Stamford; another to
span the same stream south of Vivian,
and one to span Little White River
at Big Thunder. The voters should
post themselves on these propositions
so as to be able to cast an int s!lgent

Italy Expects to
Get Forty Million
From New War Taxes

Rome, Dec 9.-Ita1y's new war tax
es, to be applied beginning next June,
are expected to bring upwards of for
ty million dollars. The heaviest tax,
apparently, is intended to fall on man
ufacturers Of war supplies, to the ex-
tent of so per cent. on profits earned
over 20 per cent Of invested capital.
An additional tax of three-tenths Of
one per cent. wells Acknowledgment
one per cent rs levied on the foreign
companies doing business in Italy
Another heavy tax falls on property
owners. A direct tax of per cent
monthly is to be paid by owners of
apartment and tenement houses, or on
rented houses. A small direct tax is
imposed on all soldiers and officers
who, though modified, do not form
part Of the active fighting troops, and
another tax is imposed on men who
perform no military duty because Of
i1l-health or other reasons.

ment at all are sure to be there. The
guests come in street cars and afoot
as we'll as in automobiles and car
riages. 1t is the commoners' recep-
ton from every point of view but the
White House goes to no less pains
with it.
The Supreme Court dinner is a
quiet, dignified affair. 1t will be
tains no reception to the judiciary,
which from the social point of view al
ways was a rather solemn affair, so
much so, that it was the only event
for which the demand for invitations
did not exceed the supply.
With the diplomatic reception out of
the way, the army and navy reception
becomes the most colorful and lively
Of all. Officers Of the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps in full dress uniforms re-
splendent with gold braids and deco
rations give it an air Of brilliance that
is described as celebrating.
The Speakers Dinner, a compare
lively new institution in White House
Social annals, winds up the list and
generally is attended by cabinet men,
bers, leaders in Congress and a few
others enjoying intimate relations with
the Speakers Of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
The elimination of the time-honor-
ed New Years reception marked the
passing of what actually was a phys
ical endurance test on the part of the
President In years gone by as
many as ten thousand persons had
passed through the White House in a
few hours on New Years day to grasp
the presidents hand for brief mo-
ment. The Marine Band always play
ed it's liveliest quicksteps and for four
and five hours the line would pour in
one door and out the other. Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Taft set some
records, meeting nine
and ten thousand people at a recep-
ton. It is said that one president,
long since dead, solved the problem
by standing in front of a velvet cur
tain, through a slit in which a relay
of aides stretched their hands under
the Presidents right arm, and las the
visitors crushed the hands of the aides
the president bowed and smiled ap
and kept his own right
hand unframed.

Germany's Strength
Shown in Bucharest
Fall, Berlin Holds

7 Berlin, Dec. 9.-The Socialist news
paper Vorwaerts, in an editorial on the
capture Of Bucharest expresses the
view that the chief significance of
the victory lies in the disproof it fur
nishes of the entente assertions that
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollwegs
expressed willingness to make peace
is dictated by Germany's weakness.
The newspaper argues that the pres
ent moment is especially suited to fur
Their efforts for peace, as the Teutonic
conquests in Rumania make further
entente talk about Germany's weak
ness ridiculous.
'"The peoples were lied to- says the
article, when they were told that Ger
many was about to break down. They
were lied to when they were told that
Germany wanted peace in order to es-
cape sure defeat and cheat her enc
mics out Of a certain victory"

FIFTY YEARS AGO.


The trustees Of the Protestant
Widows society appeal to the liberal
ity of the generous public for aid to
continue their work of relieving the
wants Of the many widows who are
under their care. Their resources
during the past year have been less
than usual owing to a misunderstood
ing regarding certain legacies left
them. They take this opportunity to
correct that Misrepresentation and
would say that they never received
anything from either bequest and
cannot during the coming year, as
the interest in one case will be alb
sorbed by the legacy tax and in the
other the heirs at law are contesting
the will. Mrs. Bronson Hawley, Mrs.

Nav Increase Tolls Z
at Canal, Is Report

Washington, Dec. 9-Possibility of
a recommendation for an increase IN
Panama Canal tolls is seen in a state
ment today of canal expenses and re-
venues for the year ended June 80.
Expenses amounted to more than
double the receipts Of the Canal
proper, though if the revenues from
the Panama railroad are taken into
consideration the excess of the ex-
penditures over revenues would be
only SIT per cent, and had there been
no slides during the year the reve-
nues would have exceeded expenses.
No allowance is maze, however,
for a depreciation and interest fund
which would require $12,000,000 a
year. Total expenses of the combin-
ed canal and railroad were 1921
504 and the revenues were $780,
Ss8, or $1,9S7,616 less than the ex-
penSeS.

CONGRESS NEWS.

Washington-For three days there
has been warm and animated
debate upon a bill for compromising
In lands number of refugees dur
ing the late war from Canada, who
came into the United States and
fought, with us in the contest against
Great Britain. The bill originated
from a petition of several persons
and their associates, which was re-
ferred to a committee, who stated
that they were born in the United
States and had emigrated to Canada
and became possessed of lands and
other property in the enemy's prov
inces; that upon the breaking out OF
the war, left them and their property
for their love of their native country
and joined our army, and in conse-
quence Of which their property was
confiscated by the British govern
ment. The bill not only embraces
natives of the United States but also
foreigners who had resided in, those
provinces, and proposed that a COM
mittee should be appointed to repair
to the Niagara. frontier to examine
into their claims and report.

THE NERVESOF
The SKY CRAPER

The nerves of the Sky-Scraper are
the telephone wires, of course. And,
inasmuch as progress in evolution is
measured by complex nervous devel-
opment, it is natural that New York's
Downtown, where business, the
highest form of social biology, has at
tanned it's fullest development, should
be an enormous spiders web of tele-
phone wires. The per capita con-
sumption of telephone wire in New
York is six times much as in Lon
don. That represents the relative
nervous intensity Of business in New
York and in London.
Some such excess Of wiring I sus-
pect in the sky-scrapers of Down
Town. There are hundreds and thou
sands of rooms, and in every room
one or more men with their mouths
and ears at the telephone. 1t is all
cellular partitions and wire ganglions
reaching out to Chicago, perhaps, or
San Francisco; wires to the Stock
Exchange around the corner, wires to
the assistant in the adjoining room,
wires to the heart of the dictaphone
into which business is being dictated
and from which business will travel
to the ear of the stenographer who
will transfer it to paper. Our ghost
ly tourist will conclude that modern
business is a matter of conversation.
Downtown, inside of it's tens Of
thousands Of sky-scraper cells, is thus
terribly busy-aboutw hat? So far
as the eye can see, about nothing in
particular. A man with telephone
at his elbow, a fat-topped desk with
a metal basket holding a dozen let
tiers perhaps, photograph Of the
mans wife in silver frame at one
end of the desk, and that is all. But
if the cell is large one, sometimes
reaching the dimensions of an entire
floor in sky-scraper block, the
desks, telephones, metal baskets, and
photographs are indefinitely multi
piled. The subStantialities of bust
ness are not there-the steel, wheat
cotton, bullion, the beams, casks
boxes, and bales which you recall be-
ing hauled toward quaint little
wharfs on toy trucks driven by men
in jumpers and shovel-hats in the
pictures in your school, geography
labelled commerce. By externals
there is no way of telling whether
the man at the desk is engaged in
selling stocks and bonds or wooden
remnants, or railway accessories, or
IL oSIS oid HiCI SOiS VI IuCdlIS -IlCkeCS
There is lacking the concrete symbol
ism of the old countingrooms-the
heavy 1edgers, whose bulk suggested
the raw materials of traffic, the clerks
on their high stools, the hustle of or
ders> given and taken. The heavy
ledgers have been replaced by ling
cabinets, whose purpose seems as
much decorative as useful. Your
business Office might as well be the
catalogue room of a college library.

FRANCE TO SEND
YOUNG men HERE
TO STUDY TRADE
Retains Places as Third
Greatest Of Institutions
in the World.

Paris, Dec. 9.-Next summer fifty
young Frenchmen will be sent from
France to the United States and Can
ada to study American commercial
methods in large typical banks, fac
tories and shipping firms, and to be-
come acquainted with the American
mind and its principal viewpoints.
They win stay a month in the United
States, visiting in banks, factories
and shipping offices at New York, uni
versities and spinning mills in Bos-
ton, lumber mills and tanneries in
Montreal, canning factories in Chicago,
the seat Of government at Washing
ton, iron and steel works of Pitts
burg, the petroleum industry in Phil
Adelphia, grain stores at Baltimore,
and culture in general at st. Louis.
Meanwhile SO young Americans. will
be doing exactly the same sort Of
thing in France with a view of get
ting notion about French CONNER
cia1 methods and French points of
view.
. A steamship company has agreed to
charge only 1900 francs for student
for the voyage to and fro, the families
and towns concerned paying one-half
and the Chamber Of Commerce the
other. The feeding Of the youths
and traffic arrangements generally will
be undertaken by a travel agency.
The students in order to qualify for
the trip must have the diploma of
commercial high school or agricultural
college, and be able to speak well
English and French respectively. The
choice Of the students in America will
be made by the "Franco-United
States committee in connection with
American Chambers of Commerce;
and, CORRESPONDENCE, in France. The
French youths arriving in New York
will be personally conducted in
groups by expert instructors. Two
French professors will guide the Am
erican students in France.
M. Guisthau, president of the
'Tranco-United States as Frank
Vanderbilt is president Of a similar
committee in New York, tells The AS
ISOLATED Press that it is hoped to es-
tAblish after the war Institutes in
France and America which will supply
all necessary commercial information,
display specimen of goods and in gen.
eral promote reciprocal economic
knowledge between the two countries.
