Capital Responsibility Shifted.

In the editorial correspondence dis
cussion of the pending fiscal District
legislation, printed elsewhere in The
Star today, attention is called to the
fact that the Mapes bill inequitably
shifts the primary responsibility of
capital maintenance and development
from the nation to the local taxpayers.
This makes the former instead of the
latter the incidental contributor. The
primary obligation in the capital main
tenance arrangement should be on that
party to it which is protected from
loss and risk by possession of all the
assets and securities, which controls
all the money contributed and which
has the sole power to fix the amount
of local tax contribution and the man
ner Of its provision. The Mapes bill
reverses this equitable principle and
puts the primary fiscal financial re-
sponsibility upon the District. Against
this protest is entered.
In another respect the Mapes bill is
Objectionable in that it would be re-
troactive in effect, repudiating the ma
tion's obligation to appropriate the So
called tax surplus Of the District with
an equal amount from the federal
Treasury, in accordance with the half
and-half law which prevailed while
this tax money was collected and was
permitted by Congress to accumulate,
and which still prevails. Under the
Mapes bill this surplus is confscated.
1t is paradoxical and monstrous that
surplus of une1pended local tax
money, which through neglect Of the
capitals urgent needs Congress has
permitted to accumulate in violation
of the half f-and-half law, should be
used as weapon to destroy that law.

Warm Factionism.

In several southern states there are
warm divisions in the democratic party.
Take Georgia. The Palmer people,
although outvoted in the primary two
to one, resent the opposition to their
claim that the states vote at San
Francisco should be cast for their
candidate for President. Both the
Smith people and the Watson people
resent the appearance Of the Pennsyl
vanian in Georgia politics. The Wat
son people are not friendly with the
Smith people, while the Smith people
hold that the Watson people should
have voted for the senator in the
primary. The pot is boiling.
Take Texas. The anti-administra-
tion men, led by former Senator Bailey,
are stirring the state with criticisms
Of the Presidents leadership and poll
cies. The Presidents friends are re-
torting in kind. Mr.. Bailey wants to
be governor, and is on the stump ask
ing for votes on his anti ti-administra-
ton deliverances. It is today a pretty
howdy-do.
In the east or in the middle coun-
try, such a situation would be very
promising for the opposition party,
and its leaders would be preparing to
improve it. But there is no opposi-
tion party, properly so-called, in either
Georgia or Texas. The skeleton or
CARNATIONS calling themselves repub-
icans have no power. They make a
party gesture in campaign years, but
that is all.
So these democrats, all mussed up,
have nowhere to 60. Bitterly as the
factions feel toward one another, they
must hang together in some fashion
at the polls. After San Francisco has
spoken, and state candidates are
named, there will be nothing left but
to vote the label. And this, as usual,
will be done. The democratic national
ticket, regardless Of its composition
and Of the platform upon which it
rests, will carry both Georgia and
Texas in November.

neglect Of the international problems y
A similar misapprehension exists In
Europe. The idea there also seems to
be that we shall be occupied for only
several months with local issues, and
then turn at once again to interna-
tional problems.
We shall be occupied with local is-
sues for several months, and maybe
for several years. The domestic stu
alton is seriously snarled up. There
is general unrest. Capital is nervous
and labor much dissatisfied. Business
is dislocated beyond anything known
in years. Domestic issues come first
and are insistent.
Our great quadrennial contest is
just opening. A President and Con-
gress are to be elected in November.
The former will take his seat in March,
and the latter will be at his command
Immediately. The probability is that
the new Congress will be called into
extra session very soon after the new
President has been inaugurated. And
each will find a crowded card await
ing attention.
How soon local conditions will be
normal again is, of course, question.
It will be the task of the new Presi-
dent and the new Congress to make
them normal again as soon as possible.
But until they are normal again; un-
til our domestic affairs are running
smoothly, and danger and discomfort
have disappeared, we shall have little,
if any, time for outside matters.
1t is anybody's guess as to what
international problems will look like
at that time, and what the American
people will decide to do about them.
But national problems have the call
now, and will continue to have until
disposed of.

PIERRE CORRESPONDENT MAX.
ES COMMENT UPON CARAVAN
"sTgNT'-CAMPAIGN LIv-
EMS UP.

Pierre, Oct. 13.-The nonpartisans
say that they are going to 'flood the
state" with an automobile campaign
for the last two weeks of the elec-
tion, and that over 1000 autos will
sweep over the state in their cam
paign.
No doubt they will get out a few
cars in this move, but their i, 900
autos their 5000 petitioners in boots
which is subject to the same destin-
alton as were to come to Pierre at
the special session. They came, but
had shrunk from 5000 to about 100
when they arrived.
But that organization with Tom
Ayres to think up stunts can be re-
lied upon to promise something SEN
sational at any time. But while
long in promises. they will not get
very far in actual fulfillment if his
past record along that line is to be
considered as a criterion.
The political speakers of all par
ties are now in the field, and while
they may be attracting some atten-
ton at the time when they are MAX
ing their talks, and no doubt are be-
ginning to stir the people as to their
duties as electors, for some reason
the "howling enthusiasm" which has
shown itself in former campaigns ap-
pears to be lacking. The people are
apparently listening and thinking
more than in past campaigns. and
are not being carried "off their feet
by flowery arguments. and the gem
eral sentiment expressed more than
any other one is that the people have
grown tired of the extravagant
spending campaign of the democratic
administration and will try a change
to see If there is any reduction along
that line.
Neither do the people of this state
get enthusiastic over the support OF
the idea Of q league of nations. In
fact, the mapority of them are be-
ginning to feel that it would not be
good policy for this country to place
itself In position where 1t might
be called upon to settle the continual
chickering's among thelittle nations OF
Europe, even though 1t was not re-
Quired to send troops over for this
purpose; that Europe should take
care OF the troubles Of that contin-
ent SO as their local conditions are
concerned, and that to mix in their
local affairs, would be great deal
the same as II one Of the European
countries would insist on settling lo-
cal political and business disputes be.
tween citizens and states in America
At least that is the way several
voters have expressed their belief
lately, even while expressing fur
ther belief that q world wide plan
to control wars anywhere would be
good policy. but not along the min.
ute details attempted In the present
plant proposed.
In the meantime; the whole trend
OF sentiment Is one Of the republican
success In the state this fall, and
while the campaign Is being made
active, that sentiment Is strone
enough to carry more weight thar
any other element In the campaign.

ating in the kitchen of . hotel de-
stroyed a whole city block In the
city of Cresbard. The property dam
age was estimated at $225,O00. No
one was killed. and only one slightly
injured. Eleven buildings were
burned
Just how the first started has not
been ascertained, but all the occu-
pants of the Piery hotel were saved
before the flames crept above the
basement of the building where 1t
started. Although no high wind was
evident the flames were swept from
the hotel to barber shop ALSO own
ed by Piery.
From the barber shop the fire
crept on to the Techtol restaurant.
A two-story flat standing next to the
cafe caught fire, and burned rapidly.
The people in the building barely
reached safety.
The burning continued down the
block, taking everything in its path.
A hardware and furniture store own
ed by McKloskey and Bacon, pool
hall owned by I. w. Kelley and Doc
tor M. L. Mayors office were the last
three buildings in side of the block to
be wiped out.
Turning the corner, Fleger's meat
market was the next victim. While
burning the refrigerator in the mar
ket. an ammonia tank was exploded
and blown across the street into the
front of the Cresbard Beacon office.
No damage was done.
Fountains hardware store took
the flames from the meat market and
carried them to building which was
formerly the post office. The Atlas
Lumber company, standing close 10
the old building. was destroyed. All
lumber, cement and other supplies
were burned to ashes.
Work Of rebuilding will begin at
once.
Insurance was carried on many Of
the buildings. but much OF the stock
OF the stores was uninsured, and sew
eral merchants lost many thousand
dollars each.
The fire alarm had no sooner been
given when nearly every citizen was
out with pals, axes. buckets and
hose. Chemicals were used, but the
flames had q good start before they
were discovered, and favored by the
wind the fire jumped from one build
ing to another until the block was
in ruins.
Buildings across the street from
the block which burned out were
threatened throughout the whole fire.
Most OF the fire fighting was con-
centrated there. however. as hope
was given up for those IN the path
OF the fire A continual throwing
of water on the front across the
street was the only thing that saved
1t. and probably the whole town.

S0LD|EROF
FORTUNE DIES
FOUGHT ON BOTH SIDES IN THE
CIVIL WAR.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 13.-Few men
have had more adventurous and
thrilling career than Emil Faust
soldier of fortune and all around
dare-devil-who died at his home in
the Black Hills at the age of 83.
Faust was born at Hessen Castle,
Germany. and at an early age came
to the United States to cast his for
tunes with the new world.
When IA years old he ran away
from his German home and shipped
on board an ocean vessel, following
the life of Esilor for q period of
three years. D1ring the three years
he travelled around the world. touch
ing Japan, China, Australia and
other countries. doubled the Horn
twice. reached San Francisco In 1854,
and again reshipped and landed at
New Orleans in the same year.
At that place he learned the bak-
cry business and settled down to this
trade until the beginning of the civil
war. He was drafted on the side of
the confederate states and fought
with the south until taken prisoner
in the battle Of Gettysburg. He then
took the oath Of allegiance to the
north. He enlisted in the Twelfth
United States cavalry and fought
with the federal troops until peace
was declared.
After being anustered out Faust,
with q band of followers, went into
Mexico and took sides In the Mexican
war against Maximilan. After the
success Of their efforts and the
downfall Of Maximilan, Faust drifted
about In search of more adventure,
and finally settled in the oil regions
Of Pennsylvania. He entered busi-
ness at Titusville during the oil ex-
element there, and 1t was there he
met and welded the wife who sur
wives him. They were married forty.
four years ago.
In 1857 Faust and his wife. tired
OF Pennsylvania. drifted to the west
and located in Omaha. He engaged
in the confectionery and bakery busi-
ness. But this was too tame for
Faust, who soon sold out and fol.
lowed the building OF the Union Pa
cific railroad. finally locating at Ev-
anston. Wyo., where he remained un-
til the gold discovery in the Black
Hills.
Faust was one Of the earliest OF
the gold seekers to reach the Black
Hills. Arriving at Custer in 1875 he
with other white invaders OF q coun-
try which then belonged to the Sioux
Indians. was rounded up by Gen
Crook and his command OF troops
and taken to Fort Laramie. Wyo
In 1876 he again returned to Gus
ter. In 1877 he located IN Lead
which was his home up to the time q
his death.
