arrangements to receive service for
an electric score board, which will be
installed in the big amusement hall,
and the host of fans of the big post
will be privileged to watch the big
classic play by play. Opinion as to
the relative merits of the two teams
is about evenly divided and the big
hall should ring with roofing when
the silent figures indicate superiority
of enc team or the other.
Sunday afternoon the 25th Infantry
will again make its appearance On the
home lot after a protracted absence
and will engage the Coast Defense
nine. In the last two starters each
team negotiated victory and the
fans may look for close contest. as

Tense are entertaining at the post, the

All-Star combination at Moiliili field
Il is understood that Chillingwortn
Moriyama, Akana and Othe- stars of
Chillingworth' former aggregation
and the All~Chinese viii appear in the
lineup against the Blues. Rrinza will
occupy the mound for the Blues and
as the elongated twirler has had a
rest the past two Sundays he should
be fit to give the All-Stars a close
battle.

THE SKILLED OBSERVER.

s. S. Mcclure returning from a tour of the
Orient gives. as his opinion that the premier of
Japan is one of the ablest statesmen he has encount
cred in his travels since the WI ~ began. These
travels include personal interviews with every pre-
Ilier of every principal European government Con
sequently the conclusion has more tEan passing in
terest. Though those who follow his writings do
not always agree with Mr.. Mcclure they all accept
the fact that he is keen observer and draws from
a fund of experience that is probably not equaled
BY any of the present day publishers and cores
pondents who are furnishing the Ieople with facts.
The value of the observations of such men is the
assistance they give in making decisions and laying
plans for the future. ....s
One of the outstanding features of Mr.. McClure's
foInment is that long war is in prospect.

STATE FAIR 1917

Since the announcement several
weeks ago. which stated emphatically
that there was no intention of "call-
ing off, the State Fair this year. but
that it would be operated as a Food
Training Camp in the voluntary SER
vice of the Government the plan has
been commented upon very highly by
the public. The management of the
South Dakota State Fair fails to see
why anyone should believe that the
war is apt to cause the Fair to be
discontinued. It is needed more this
year than ever before because of the
assistance it can give in stimulating
the production of more food and its
conservation. Plans for the Food
Training Camp are being formulated
rapidly and the many educational fea-
lures will cause the Fair to be of
great assistance to the Government.
The Fair is to be held September 10
to ID inclusive this year.

entry under the $40 acre hometead
act. These lands have for some time

and trout commenced May 1st, but
for bass and trout it did not open
until May 30th. Quite number Of
fishermen got little premature,

would be accommodating enough not
to bite until their season commenced,

Members of the International social
ist conferece in session at Stockholm
express surprise that Secretary of
State Lansing refused passports to
American delegates. Under the cir
cumstances loyal citizens will COM
mend the secretary for his action. At
recent socialist party convention held
in st. Louis, resolutions were adopted
by majority vote which contained
the following declaration:
We brand the declaration of war
by our government as crime against
the people of the United States and
against the nations of the world.
In all modern history there has
been no war more unjustifable than
the war in which we are about to en-
age.
And first among the steps which we
recommend to the workers and pledge
ourselves:
Continuous, active and public oppo-
sition to the war, through demonstra-
tions, mass petitions and all other
means within our power. -
Such declarations made in time of
war can be classed as nothing short of
reasonable Fortunately all socialists
are not of this class, as we have many
in this country who are loyal and pa
triotic citizens. but it is reasonable
to suppose that the delegates who
would be sent would. represent this
majority sentiment, and to permit
this government to be represented in
an international conference by dele
gates pledged to active opposition to
their government in time of war
would be an outrage. The wonder is
that these men have not been arrested
for sedition.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The announcement recently made
that Tyndali would not have a chau-
tauqua this year seems tos have been
premature. The local committee en-
deavored to get the contract cancelled
in order that the money thus devoted
might be used for benevolent pur-
poses, but the company had already
made its assignments for the season
and printed its advertising 80 it was
too late to make the change.
