Which Are But a Few
Weeks Off,.

Sioux Falls. S. D., May 9.-With the
statewide party primaries less than a
month distant-May 2s-'politics' in
South Dakota is developing slowly.
War activities are holding the atten-
ton OF the people of the state to the

various candidates for state and con-
gressional offices, whose will
be before the voters in the primary
mount issue.
The dark horse in the South Da-
kota elections this yea is the Nom
partisan league. although no definite
information can be obtained as to the
strength of h league or its plans for
the election. its organizers have been
extending its influence into every sec
ton n they predict that the league
will gain control Of the state much as
it did in North Dakota.
No league ticket was filed for the
primary but it is understood that a
ticket will be entered in the general
election in November. It has been in
dictated that the league might endorse
some candidates for the Republican
or Democratic parties who are favor
able to the league. and throw the sup
port OF che league behind them in No.
vem5er. Their big effort. however, il
~1neeted TO be concentrated on the
legislature.
The Republican. Democratic and
Socialist parties will be represented in

i month. And in cases where beneficiaries Of the new
rates have had their pay Increased within the past two
years the amount Of that increase is to be deducted from
the additions now recommended. In other words. the
increases are based on. the pay received two years ago.
II there have been increases In the meantime in partic-
ular cases the pay will be increased at 4 lesser rate
The interest Of the government In the matter ~ that
it will have to provide the money to pay these increased
wages. There is evidence to show that the increases
should be made. They would have been recommended.
and would doubtless have been ordered had the railroads
continued to be operated under private control. The
companies would then have demanded the right to adj
vance their rates in order. to provide revenues to meet
the Increased expenditure. At present the net revenues
Of the roads are guaranteed by the government. The
government will in all human probability be unable to
pay fixed charges and operating expenses out, of receipts
from present rates, and to pay to the owners OF the prop
erty the returns to which they are entitled. and which
have been guaranteed. In that case two courses will be
open. Rates may be advanced, as under private man
agement. Or rates may be maintained where they. are,
and the deficit may be paid out Of the other pocket, the
revenues of the government received from taxation. In
either case the travelling and shipping public will now,
as in the past, pay the wages Of the railroad men. And
the general public ought to be willing to pay a fair price
for the service, which it receives. 81

GOVERNMENT BY TERRORISM

The attorney for the defense in the case Of the I. W
". men on. trial in Chicago on sedition charges has
threatened to withdraw unless the introduction Of I. ".
". literature threatening the court and jury is diseon-
tinued. Papers and circulars issued by members Of the
and menacing those participating in the trial
the accused are found guilty. have been distributed
about the court. There is no mystery about the purpose
Of the distribution Of these threats. The intent is to Sc
acquittal through the operation of terror. Jurors
are given to understand that two hundred thousand men,
OF the society are watching them. and that some
thing dire will happen to them unless they permit the
men to go scot free.
There Is nothing new or strange abou. this. 1t is
merely the application to 4 criminal trial Of the methods
which have characterized the actions Of the society and
its members during iss entire existence. The :hresher

The Associated Press. l--Thc Germans
particularly those living in III" larger
citirs. arc to-day having lean laTr l"7
their Christmas dinners.
So much has l<rn said about lhr fond
situation that it is understandable il
there is an impression in Some quarters
thar tho situation has been exaggerated
Here. however. there Is one excellent
barometer Of the situation. namely.
"Schlclchthandcl." as an iilegitimate
traffic king in foodstuffs Is termed. and
this is beginning 10 diminish markedly
A month ago It was possible tn buy
butter. sauSagcS and some other articles
from these surreptitious dealers at high
nriccS. During the last fortnight ii has
become increasingly dllcult 10 find
these things. and even the best con-
ncctions and sources are now unable
to produce more than occasional small
portions at greatly Increased prices.
When tho crafty dealers in this bus
mess cannot longer SECURE articles
there hardly can be n doubt that 1t Is
because they do not exist. Wealthy
people still can obtain limited quanti-
tics Of what used to be considered
nGCNSSaFl'S, ulL hIltC ti' AiS" r''''''N
cred luxuries. though at terrifying
priccs. In one particular case 4 man
in Berlin paid $40 marks for ham.

chased al. IN l;ntrr den Linden rcstaur-
ant. consisted OF thin soup. fish. meat
and baked. apple. and cost 6? marks.
Coffee would have cost three marks ad-

What such prices moan can best b.
realized when II is considered that III"

marks.
