To-o~ooo What It
Condemnation of the Fuel Administration by the Senate-Dr
Garfield at the Capitol on Sudden CaH-His Examination in
Committee Quick Action Oral Reporting "A 0neSided De-
bate Against PerfunctO Support Given for the Or
der-The Question Of Government by Law
Bv ". V. BYARS.

The sun had set after a day of
excitement at the Capitol, with only
one topic really in mind-the Gar
field order, taking control of Ameri-
can factories and suspending them at
will.
Then, as the electric lights were
turned on in the Senate, Knox of
Pennsylvania summarized: "If mil
lion German soldiers were turned
loose in the country, it would not
produce the havoc of this order"
There was a stir, but no applause
and no Kisses. Party lines were be-
ing drawn at the time, as far as it
was possible to draw them on the re-
port of the Senate Committee on
Manufactures, which had presented
the reasons given to it by the fuel
administrator. But, aside from all
that Formal debate demanded, party
lines had been down all day at the
Capitol.
The day opened with emotions &C.
curately described as indignation and
disgust. The warmest supporters of
the fuel administration were dis
gusted, as that word implies a sick
ening feeling at the pit Of the stom-
ach. The order did not have actually
the effect of an emetic. That is all
that can be said in qualifying de-
scription of its effects on the fuel
administrations political friends.
They might have felt much more
cheerful in aligning themselves in
DR.. Garfield's defense if that good
man had been capable of real crime
instead of this blunder, so aca-
demic, so psychological" that it
passed the comprehension of men
with ordinary business, political, and
common sense.
Among Republicans the feeling
seems to have been that of actual
dismay-of alarm for the immediate
future of the country, rather than of
partisan citation because of the odium
all knew must be excited, OF the dis
trust all felt must be permanent
after such a shock, so suddenly given
to half the continent. Of course,
partisanship supervened at once, but
it could not conceal these underlying
realities. 80

Leader Gillette sought to force the
issue into the open by a resolution
asking for clemency, as involved in
delaying enforcement of the order.

questions which put his side of the
case in the best possible light as he
answered them.
The Washington times., 1918-01-18

AS this desire for equality" was
given as an explanation OF the
sweeping nature of the order. it
was fatal to his case. He was forced
to admit that he would extend the
order also to the great water-power
factories OF the South Atlantic and
New England States. If he could. AS
Reed crowded him with statistics OF
the enormous loss Of wages involved,
and the loss Of goods needed by
troops and public when supply is
now short with rising prices, he
was forced to the admission that his
position could not be defended II
the grounds were only economic.
He had also the ground Of patriotism,
calling for sacrifices. and 1t was his
hope that patriotic factory-owners,
closed down by his order, would not
allow their wage-earners to suffer.

The Washington times., 1918-01-18

As time pressed, only oral reports
could be made to the Senate The
main report was made by Reed.
Jones, for the defense. admitted that
Reeds report was fair, but he added
that DR.. Garfield had made obser-
vations of value to the Senate, not
capable of being included in the sum-
mary. Vardaman also interjected
kindly but non-political sympathy for
DR.. Garfield. In the main, the Sen
ate acted on Reeds report
The Washington times., 1918-01-18

The sections of the statute under
which DR.. Garfield supposed him
self justified were quoted and de-
bated. AS they are supposed to
involve authority to forbid Amer
lean citizens to use their own coal
or other lawful property in a law
full way, every schoolboy knows,
or ought to know, that there can be
no such authority of law in any Of
ficeholder of any rank until the
Constitution of the United States is
overthrow. Some things are still
"verboten" to officeholders as well
as to the rest of us-in and out Of
the most autocratic and least demo-
cratic countries in the world.
We must come hack to common
sense in the United States finally.
Why not now?
The Washington times., 1918-01-18

1t may be- said for Reed that he
was not too hostile to be fair. Per-
haps no newspaper man of those who
had crowded the committee room
could have made a better summary
of DIR. Garfield's deposition. 1t was
better than the case he made for
himself. Then, speaking no longer
for Garfield. but for himself. Reed
attacked the equalization" idea, and
demolished. 1t. The Senate probably
had its mind made up already that
there could be no greater economic
blunder than that of shutting down
factories paying wages by hundreds
OF millions and making products by
billions, merely because some other
competing factories were short OF
coal.
If the ships, ready to sail. needed
coal, why not commander it? Ii
factories were to be stopped from
using coal, why not stop shipments
to them? These, and similar ques-
tions any one who thinks at all can
easily think of, were hurled across
the floor in the faces of those who
felt bound to defend the order.
Among these, Senator Jones, from
the minority of the Manufactures
Committee. was warmest, and per-
haps not most perfunctory. There
was almost an official sob in his
voice as he pleaded for the poor. the
widow, and the fatherless in whose
behalf the Fuel Administration was
supposed to be acting. But the SEN
ate voted its condemnation of the
order, so to 10.

of order shut off debate. But it was
not so in the Senate.

It's the new conditions that make
the old things look funny-contrast-
ing the results CT prograss with the
past.
Store methods, too, have advanced.
Comparing the modern store with
the one of twenty years ago is quite
as funny.
Years ago, people who could knock
pennies off the market selling price
were considered clever. No exchang-
es or returned goods were allowed.
It's different now. Modern mer-
chants charge one price to all, with
the privilege of money back or ex-
change without quibbling. It's this
new way we keep shop.

IN SESSION AT MITCHELL NAME
STATE TICKET.
NAME.

Mitchell, July 26.--At non-parti-
san league headquarters last evening
it was announced that the delegates
to the state convention of the society
in session here that Henry Solem. of
Baltic, had been approved as the
leagues candidate for the United
States senate.
Solem, a Minnehaha county farm
er and former member of the legisla-
ture, was a dark horse. In democrat
ic circles it was hoped that the league
would indorse Orville Rhinehart, of
Rapid City, the democratic nominee
in the May primaries. who won out
over John Kelley, of Flandreau, a
member of the n~on-partisan league.
Mr.. Kelley was made chairman of the
democratic state central committee
by the democratic convention held in
Sioux Falls early this month.
Who will be the ~favorite Of the
non-partisan league in the congres-
sional race in the First district is still
a subject on which league leaders re-
main silent. No new candidat es were
put up for congressional sea u.s., nor
was announcement made as to the
attitude of the league toward the
candidates of the other parties.
The non-partisan League ticket as
so far announced is as follows:

AMUSEMENT PLACES
STATE GAME DEPARTMENT HAS
IN VIEW PLACES FOR PEO-
PIES ENJOYMENT.

Pierre, July 26.-The state game
department is planning a number of
summer outing places for the people
of the state, through the efforts to-
ward converting small and shallow
lakes at different depth to assure
seasons, and to allow fish to live
through the winter. This work was
begun in a small way several years
ago, when the department assisted in
the work at Red lake in Brule eoun-
ty, local people first taking up the
Improvement, and with the combined
efforts of the local workers a body
of water covering several thousands
of acres Is a camping and fishing re-
sort instead of a swamp. Swan lake
in Turner county, a smaller body of
water, was increased by a ditch drain
ing water from Turkey creek into
the lake. and has been made a pop
ular resort. These plans having
been carried out in past years.
This year the department purchas-
ed a dredging machine of its own and
this is now at work cutting a ditch
which will carry water into Silver
lake on the Turner-H Hutchinson coun-
ty line, and when this work Is COM
pleted this will be a permanent body
of water covering practically a sec
ton, instead of a rush bed as ii has
been for several years.
The next plan in view is a ditch to
carry flood waters into Scatterwood
in northeastern Faux county which
will cover really two different bodies
of water with approximately 1900
acres. The dredger will be put al
this work as soon as 1t finishes al
Silver lake, and while Scatterwood is
now an outing place 1t will be made
far more popular when the water lev.
ell is assured at a point where there
will be boating and fishing all the
season.
The biggest project under way will
be taken up as soon as the Scatter
wood work is finished, at Lake Poin.
