SOUTH DAKOTA HAS
PARTY ALL ITS OWN
Non Partisan League Party Has
Ticket for November
Election.
by Associated Press to Every Evening

Mitchell, 5. D., Aug. l0.-South
Dakota Is the only state IN the Union
having what is called a NonpartlSan
League Party, according to o. ). Evans
of this CITY, head of the Nonpartisan
League Party OF South Dakota, as well
as OF the Nonpartisan League n this
state.
Mr.. Evans is secretary and manager
Of the South Dakota Nonpartisan League
and was elected state chairman of the
Nonpartisan League Party at the March
primary election.
The two organizations are distinctly
separate" according to Mr.. Evans.
The Nonpartisan League OF South
Dakota is merely the state branch of
the original organization, while the
Nonpartlsan League Party is the stan
dard under which the state and con-
gressional ticket will be presented TO
the voters at the November election.
"ln other states where the Non
partisan League has been organized
the Leaguers have endorsed the candi-
dates Of other parties. In North Dakota,
for instance, they endorsed the Re-
publican candidates while in Minnesota
they divided on the Republican and
the Farmer-Labor candidates. But in
South Dakota they found it to their
advantage and liking to support the
candidates OF no other party and the
formation Of the Nonpartisan League
Party OF this state was the result. A
complete state and congressional ticket
will be placed before the voters of this
state under the name South Dakota
Nonpartisan League Party at the No
vember election"
None OF the present candidates for
president of the United States has been
endorsed by the League party of this
state, MIR. Evans said. 1t has been
announced that Farley p. Christensen
standard bearer of the Farmer-Labor.
Party, will enter this state August %
on a speechmaking tour In behalf of
his candidacy. His itinerary calls for
a speech in each district Of the state
and League Party representatives will
be present at each Of these addresses.
At the end Of Mr.. Christensen's tour
the Nonpartisan League Party of South
Dakota VIII decide whether the party
shall endorse and support the Farmer
Labor nominee for president.

ENGLISH PAPER ATTACKS
ANGLO-JA JAPANESE TREATY
Manchester Guardian Says it is
Violation of Spirit of League
of Nations.
Bv Associated Press TO Every Evening

Il
London. July PA joint declaration
| of the British and Japanese government:
| that the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which has
| lust been permitted automatically to re-
| new itself for another year, Is in harmony
| with the spirit of the covenant of the
| League of Nations is challenged editorial
| lv bv The Manchester Guardian. 10 Is
| assaied as "a typical example of those
| partial and exclusive agreements between
| particular powers which the League OF
! Nations was designed to supersede.
The Guardian says: Some people may
be sceptical about the latest Anglo
Japanese note, but it is n most interesting
and NAV be an extremely important docu-
ment. The present Anglo-Japanese
treaty dates from 1911, and will run, In
the normal course, till July 1921. Butthe
foreign Offices of the two nations have re-
mcmbercd the covenant of the League OF
Nations. They point out that the treaty,
though in harmony with the spirit of the
covenant OF the League of Nations, Is not
entirely consistent with the letter, and
they add that, if renewed next year, 1t
must be in form which is not inconsistent
with the covenant.
There is only one weakness about tins
statement, and that is that Its opening
proposition is entirely inaccurate. he
Anglo-Japanese treaty in all its forms has
always been entirely out of harmony with
the spirit of the covenant. Ii IS typical
example of those partial and exclusive
agreements between particular powers
which the League of Nations was designed
to sd dpersede Ii pledges each OF the con-
tracting parties to make war II by reason
OF unprovoked attack or aggressive action
the other finds its territorial rights or
special interests threatened IN Eastern
Asia or India.
The covenant, of course, provides an
elaborate machinery by which tho league
will deal with such contingencies and bring
its collective powers to bear on the offend
or. whether he is or is not himself among
its members. The Anglo-Japanese treaty
will need remodelling from top to bottom
in order TO make it consistent with the
covenant. 1t will presumably be done by
each power undertaking formally to 60 to
war in support Of the other after the league
has definitely pronounced against an
aggressor and ordered the enforcement OF
all the punitive measures contemplated IN
Article Is Of the covenant, which include
military force, but do not impose its use
rs an absolute obligation on.ail the MEM
bers.
There would then be the protection Of
the league between rs and war, and the
obligations thrown on us by the treaty
would be very different from what they
are at present.

CHILD LABOR INCREASES
IN MIDDLE WEST STATES
Four Thousand More Working in
Chicago Today Than
Year Ago.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

Chicago, Aug. l3.--Four thousand
more children are working in Chicago
today than year ago, according to
CLYDE A. Brown, acting director OF. the
city vocational guidance bureau. The
increase in child labor is said to be gem
eral in the Middle West but exceptions
are noted in Missouri, Kansas and
North Dakota.
Necessity of the child helping the
family meet the high cost of living, the
pulling power of higher wages and search
" of adult labor together with the
discovery by employers that women
and children often could take the place
of men were cited by MIR. Brown among
reasons for similar increase IN child
labor in other parts of the United States.
Minnesota officials report that child
labor is nearly doubled in that state.
The greatest increase, they say, is among
children OF the white collar" class whose
pcrents have been forced by rising prices
10 permit their children to work. About
5000 under 10 years of age are now at
work in Minnesota.
Wisconsin statistics on child labor for
the year are not Yet tabulated but OIL
cials say enough returns are IN 10 mdl-
cate q considerable increase over PIE
vious years. Some boys under is years
have been reported receiving 500 q
month.
T. G. Jennings, Texas state labor
commissioner, reports an increase OF
about ten per cent in Texas child labor
over last year. Postponement of com
pulsory school attendance he says has
been a factor.
State Labor Commissioner Claude f.
Connally of Oklahoma SAYS more viola
tions OF child labor laws have been
brought TO the attention Of his office
this wear than previously, from which
he deduces an increase in juvenile workers.
Connally said the increase in violations
was probably due to the fact that there
was 80 per cent more jobs in the state
than workers.
A. L. Trick, Iowa state labor commits
sioner, recently reported that approx
mately 1000 more permits had been
issued in the past year 10 children be-
tween the ages of IA and 16 than in the
year previous.
Kansas and North Dakota report
child labor in those states as almost
negligible. st. Louis reports decrease.
Children now employed in that city are
stated To number $500, which is $50
less than were at work there a year ago.
The state factory inspectors office says
the decrease is general all over the
state. The Federal tax on child labor
Is gwen as the cause of the decrease.

CURIOSITY KILLS CHICKENS.
Two Hundred. Watching Flying Ma
chine. Break Their Nccks.

Suubury, Pa, Aug. 13.-Two hundred
rubber-neck chicks lost their lives yes
terday watching an aeroplane fly over the
borough, is the story told by James Carl,
who has chicken farm. He says when
the big machine noisily passed over his
hennery 200 growing chicks craned their
necks through the wire fencing to watch
it. When the plane had passed not
one of the chicks could get its head back,
and when Carl went TO the chicken coop
he found them all dead, everyone hav-
ing hanged itself in its struggles to es-
cape the enmeshing wire.
Carl thinks the borough ought to pass
an ordinance preventing flying or else
provide means for curbing chicken curl

the following quotation from the An
Ii saloon League Legislative survey,
published in March this year, is a
very interesting bit OF literature:
Representative Soderstrom in his
election campaign made the state
ment in writing that he expected to
support ratification and the search
ana seizure bill. Because Of this state
mcut another dry candidate was kept
from the field and he was given a
great many dry votes of the district,
but he did not make good in any way
on this statement He supported the
entire wet program and cannot be
counted upon After ratification was
passed he gave The drys 10 under
stand that he would vote for the law
enforcement measures, but when it
came TO the test he failed utterly. He
seems to be bound nand and foot by
the wet interests and is unable to
free himself from their control. This
district should give at least one man

Prohibition is now in the coustitu-
