The cause Of the accident remained
a mystery even to navy department
officials. A theory expressed in
some quarters that water poured in

pleted repairs. apparently did not
conform with the fact that the ship
was ready to weigh anchor today for
a foseign port.
It was learned that gang of ma
chinists was at work at the time the
vessel settled. and It was suggested
that one Of these men inadvertntly

The sinking occurred at s o'clock

To don their clothes.

CASE OF TIE RAILROADS

Minneapolio Journal: Take the
case of the railroads. When the farm
er received from SO cents to 81 a
bushel for his wheat he paid the rail
road exactly the same rate to carry
it to market as he pays now to trans
port his 81 wheat. But the railroad
now pays double Tor steel, double for
its labor, and double for about every,
thing it has 10 buy.
Consider what happens when there
is a wreck. and a car of wheat is de
stroyed. The railroad used to pay
the damage at from so cents to 81 a
bushel; now il settles at 50 or more.
Yet it receives no more for hauling
such IA car than il formerly received.
On a railroad operating 5000 miles
of track the average loss of wrecked
cars would be Il a day. Here is
just one item in the profit and loss
column of the railroad.
AS a result of insisting on a sta
tionary policy OF railway income, and
of the governments neglect to protect
both the public and the railways
against the watering of stock and 9th
or evils incident to the ~unregulated
issuance of securities, the whole couu-
try is menaced by the threat of col
lapse of the transportation system.
An illuminating bit of information
has this week come to the Journals
notice. A farmer asked for a small
loan at the bank to carry him along
until he could realize on the products
Of his farm, which he was unable TO
move to market for utter lack Of rail
road facilities TO carry them.
The American people are now pay
ing the bill for listening to the dem
agogue in times past, with his cry
against the principles of economic
law that must and will control the
business of transportation and all
other business.

CONGRESSMEN NOT EXEMPT

The Treasury Department has not
yet made a ruling concerning the pro
vision in the last war revenue law
which is held by some to exempt sen
ators and representatives from tn
payment of the excess profits tax. In
order to make it certain that they
shall not be exempt, Senator Sterling
has introduced a bill providing that
the law in question shall not be con
strued to exempt senators and repre-
sentatiyes from such tax.
In explaining his bill, Senator Stcrl
preston that representatives and sen
ators are, under the revenuc law, ex
empt from the operations of the in.
come tax provided for by the law OF
1917. lie said that this impression +
a mistake as there is nothing in the
law whatever which eXcmpts them
from the regular income tax. II Is
the clause dealing with the excess
profit tax only about which there can
be any dispute. The discussion which
followed the Introduction Of Senator
Sterlina's bill indicated that there
was no intention On the part Of sen
ators in passing the war revenue bill
to eyade paying their share of the
taxes.

SOUTH DAKOTA OIL

The Associated Press gives out the
following statement regarding the oil
operations in South Dakota. While
there is a chance that We are in a
profitable oil belt, yet all these oper-
atoms must be viewed with caution.
Despite the war, il appears likely
tricts in South Dakota where the pres
ence of oil or gas is suspected will
be given a thorough investigation by
prOspectors and that the reputed UNI
foreground richness of the state Will
be either verified or disproyed before
1913 ends.
Among the most considerable of
these projects are those Centering in
Fall River county on the Wyoming
line. A very large proportion of the
whole country, along with territory oX-
tending over into the field occupied
by Governor Norbeck's firm in Wyom-
ing. has been staked for oil. Geolo-
gists Of reputation have been "im-
ported to study the region, and their
reports as to the lana in the Hat creek
and Ardmore districts have been un-
varyingly favorable.
1.-TWO large companies, organized by
successful oil operators in other field,
~, folinn thn lno1 anI haVn accom-
bled already standard rigs for well
sinking. A large acreage between Hot
Springs and Oelrichs have been pur-
chased by a third company of east
ern capital, and a Well will be started
on that tract next month. One well
of another concern is already down
about 500 feet. Frank Hitchcock,
formerly postmaster general, is prin-
cipal hacker Of another of the pros
pecting companies.
Similar hopefulness of coming finds
exists in many more eastern parts of
the state. In Codington county, for
instance, oil drillers report traces at
a depth of 1900 feet after digging
about a year. Pennsylvania oil men
are interested in exploring of posi-
BILE oil tracts in this region. 1t is
planned to push the test well at South
Shore down to at least 1000 feet. Tho
company so far has spent about 800
900 and is disposed as a result of the
findings to &c considerably beyond
that. Confidence is expressed that oil
in paying quantities will be found.
Discovery of new wells Of natural
gas in Walworth county, near Selby,
has renewed expectations of finding
oil there. A steady and voluminous
bow Of inhammable gas was struck on
a ranch there at a depth Of only AS
feet. Oil signs had been found there
previously and experiments will again
be made. In the southeastern part Of
the state also experts have reported
encouragement for drillers."

ten per cent increased pork produc-
ton in this state. They are Joe Hill,
leader, of Alexandria,. Matt Ginsbach
of Hartford, G.. w. Stanley of Dolton
and A. L. Haynes of Scotland. MI.
Ginsbach will work in Lincoln and
Union counties and the eastern half
of McCook; Mr.. Stanley in western
McCook and Turner and Clay coun-
ties, while Mr.. Haynes will cover

working through all other extension
forces for n great drive. Fourteen
county agricultural agents are active
in their various counties. -Four emer-
gency food agents are in the field to
be followed by many more as fast as
men are secured and appointments
made.

of the food board. Difference OF
opinion makes poor teamwork and W.

~ differences are subordinated to The
winning of the war. Why do these
reformers not sit in the game and see
it through? No doubt the president
would often like to resign. He must
be weary often with the hard knot
he finds in human nature. But he
plugs on, daily new his faith in his
fellows. The president SAYS he has
no use for critics or pacifSts and we
all sympathize with that view. The
Germans are here in large numbers
waiting to see us fail because our ca
pacity for criticism has been in
creased in the hard school of politi-
cal freedom. But it is our business ~
