Conditions Similar to Those
Before Spanish War.
REPUBLICANS WANT ACTION
When President Wilson Issued State
ment Rejecting Upon Unnamed Per-
sons Who We're Accused Of Stirring
Up Strife In Mexico There Were
Many Who Guessed His Reference.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, April ]. - ISpeciall-
Political conditions as they relate to
the war situation are somewhat sim
liar to those which existed just before
the conflict with Spain was precipitat-
cd upon the country. Then the Demo
Gratis insisted on pushing the Hepub-
licnn administration TO greater activ-
ity for the relief of the Cubans. Now
the Republican minority seems inclined
to force the Democratic adm abstraction
into more speed and vigor in dealing
with the Mexican situation.
The Democrats I'm 1898 said they
were not playing politics, and the Re
publlcans say they are not playing pol
itics now. And at the same time Ii
does seem as If politics had n place IN
the complications now just as before
the Spanish war.

Naming No Names.

When President Wilson issued his
statement severely rejecting upon un-
named persons who were accused of
stirring up strife In Mexico there were
plenty of people who could have given
n pretty shrcwd guess as TO whom he
meant. The president has quite a list
OF persons whom he regards as very
inimical to his administration and, of
course. as an%tagonistic to the govern
ment, for 1T is the habit Of n president
to regard the government and his adj
ministration as the same thing. 1t is
quite well known that the president
feels rather bitter toward IA number
of Republicans who he believes have
been using the Mexican situation for
party advantage. However, they are
not generally included In the list OF
falsehood mongers TO whom he has al
luded.

most surprising. 1t must have been
because the same members wanted to

During the discussion of the military

about the passing Of those social sol

In so many wars and so many ban

of these was the Ancient and Hon

NOTED ENTERTAINER
AT NJ. E. CHURCH

One of the very best entertain
ments of its kind ever given in
Sioux Falls. was that given by
Chas Riley McCalley at the high
school auditorium Tuesday after
noon: AS an interpreter of James
Whitcomb Riley's droll poems.
Mr.. McColley certainly has no
supporters, and as an all around
versatile entertainer he stands
alone. He is not only a gifted
reader and impersonator but the
is a splendid violinist and his
sense of humor knows no bound.
When a performer can hold the

twenty minutes and leave them
clamoring for more, it certainly
is worth the while and price,

Try 10 Stop Pre-
sent Salary Basis
Billings County Has Suit Crow
ing Out of Valuation as
Salary Fixer.

Medora, N. d., May 24.-Regis-
Ter OF Deeds Waller J. Ray has Sc
cued an injunction from Judge
Crawford restraining county Au-
ditor ]. A. Beery from paying sal
aries TO the various county Off
cials of Billings county for the
year 1916, based on the valuation
OF the year 1914, before Slope
county was segregated from Bill
ings.
For years there has been much
controversy among the voters
about the salaries drawn by the
officials of this county. Golden
Valley county was segregated
from this county in November
1912, but the officials of Billings
county continued, for the year of
1913, to draw their salaries on the
valuation of both counties; that
is both Billings and Golden Val
Icy, as it was before the segrega-
ton. For the year 1914 salaries
We're paid on a proper valuation.
Slope county was segregated i'm
the year 1914. but since that time
Billings county officials have con-
tlnued TO draw salaries on the
valuation of both counties.
The statutes provide that GER
tain salaries shall be based on the
valuation of The county for the
v1evious year. The question has
often been asked: What was the
valuation of Billings county, for
the year 1919 on which salaries
should have been based? The Of
ficials only performed duty: has
jurisdiction, and collected taxes
in what was Billings county after
Golden Valley was segregated.
There is no dispute on this point.
