SOUTH pAKorA,s CHOICE

To South Dakota has fallen the
honor OF expressing its choice of pres
idential candidates the first of any
state in the union The choice Of the
Democrats of President Wilson aad
Vice President Marshall indicates that
the party is not concentrated upon any
new candidate, possibly that they have
nothing new 10 offer the public. It
would seem strange, however, If the
Democrats should make no change in
their ticket for the next national con
test. Even if that party has no man
but Wilson deserving the presidency
il certainly can hardly assume that
no one but Mr. Marshall is worthy of
second place on the ticket. The con-
dition. of President Wilson makes II
imperative that man qualified to
fill the presidential Office shall be
chosen for the vice presidency. The
action of the Democrats really amounts
to nothing but a delay in selecting the
candidates for the national ticket.
With the Republicans it was quite
different. There was an effort on the
Fart of party leaders to. start tht
"favorite SON. movement in an eff
fort to eliminate the popular candi
date of the country. All the machin.
alton of politics was employed to ge'
the Republicans of South Dakota &c
declare for some impossible candidate

tackled General Wood but wounded only
himself The friends of Lowden q
Illinois attempted to prevent de
claration for Wood but they wer
showed under.
The Republicans of South Dakot;
have placed in the field the strong
est candidate available without an.
effort on the part of the candidate t
influence their choice. His unsolic
tied endorsement over the politiea
leaders is complete proof of his su
perior strength The choice of Govern
or Coolidge for second place is evi
dence OF the determination of tn

A MISTAKEN POLICY.

We submit that the decision of the
Republican leaders in congress to rush
through the adoption of a joint rcsolu.
ton declaring this country is at peace
with Germany is a mistake. a joint res
olution requires the signature of the
President, therefore makes him q party
to the declaration if he signs it and re-
sponsible for the continuance of the un
settled conditions if he refuses to sign
it; but it offers him the opportunity to
display more Americanism than his OPP
ponents have in lacking Americana
ing reservations to the real treaty.
A resolution declaring this country
at peace with Germany would bring no
peace because it would lack any power
to compel Germany to pledge any condi-
tions of peace or enforce the terms Of
any agreement. 1t would not oblgate
Germany to make any restoration fol-
military losses, to limit its military OIL

The Duke of Aosta, who is mentioned
as the most likely candidate for the
throne of Italy in the event of the
abdication of King Victor Emmanuel
IS the eldest cousin of the present SOY
ereign. His father was Amadeus
brother of the late King Humbert, and
who had a brief career as king of Spain
Should tho Duke of Aosta come TO the
throne, the legitimatists will have good
reason for setting up wall at the de
generacy of the blood royal for Aost;

whom he inherited an enormous for

Criminal CarelesSness.
barre Times.l

The fatal shooting of that elderly
hunter in Townshend, apparently
through the criminal earelessness of
some other hunter, should be followed
up by the authorities until the offend
er is brought to light or until the in
vestigators are thoroughly convinced
there is no chance to solve the mystery.
The circumstances surrounding the
shooting of the man were apparently
such as have been warned about time
after time-the fool headed use of FIRE
arms whenever anything moving has
been seen, with an investigation of the
nature of the object afterwards.
