Before Judge Stephens was made assistant to the attorney general he was for two years assistant general in charge of the anti-trust division of the department of, justcie. He was highly commended by President Roosevelt for wark he accomplished in this post. In Germany Insofar as the outside world is informed, all German governmental activity during these days and the immediate past has had as its purpose the subjugation of those large elements the country's population whose ideals, either religous or governmental, are believed to be subversive of the development of the nation along proper nationalistic lines.

The so-called "state enemies" are numerous and are to be humbled in the dust. making a third of the of the country, Catholicion are included in the enemy classes. Jews are to be exterminated. Members of the Luthern church who do not acknowledge the authority of a bishop personally selected by Hitler are under the ban. So, too, are the Masons and Steel Helmets, war veterans who were largely instrumental in Hitler's ascendency to power.

Each day brings forth some act threat of persecution without any enlightment as to just why the crusade is being waged what is to be gained in the end. These menacing acts and polities do serve, however, to inspire speculation as to just what else is happening in Germany, behind the scenes. What is the employment situation in Germany and what is the state of its finances? What progress is being made toward recovery of the world markets lost through the World war and by reason of world-wide resentment inspired the ruthless they persecution of religious and radical groups? What are the real feelings of the German people as they observe the harsh restriction of their liberties, the loss of their cultural prestige and witness the development of an enmity which turns every hand against them and makes the name of their country a symbol of oppression? There is growing opinion that present operations in Germany are designed to obscure a general condition of economic distress and social unrest. LYNCHED (Custer Chronicle) Citizens of the northern hills have taken the law into their own hands as far as Black Hills Public Enemy No. 1 is concerned.

They are taking bids to oil and dust-proof three important stretches of road, over 21 all. The bill will be paid by donations. The Deadwood Commercial Club is the bunch with the go to dare it and do it. This should convince doubters that Black Hillers are serious about throttling Public Enemy No. 1.

It should convince the Highway Commission that it can be donethat oil can be put on at once to reduce the dust hazard for the balance of this season and that work must start this fall on dust-proof surfacing Not every community will find itself able to raise the funds as Deadwood is doing. Perhaps they will find it hard, but their determination tells of the desperate need. CAPITAL COMMENT (By the Associated Press) PIERRE, S. Aug. 10-With the 1936 primary less than months away, South Dakota politics are beginning to stir more or less mildly.

Plenty of gossip is heard in democratic circles regarding candidates, while republicans are discussing the need for a chairman to fill the position left vacant by the death of Charles S. McDonald, Sioux Falls, in an automobile accident last fall. The idea that Gov. Tom Berry will seek a third term seems to be gaining support in democratic quarters at the statehouse. One source reported it virtually assured, but there is time for lots of things to happen between now and the primary.

Another report is that Rep. T. B. Werner of Rapid City, as well as Rep. Fred Hildebrandt of Watertown, may have opposition within the democratic if the two congressmen seek reparty nomination AS expected.

The rumor reported in the west-river district is that Clair Roddewig, Winner, counsel for the state banking department, oppose Werner. Another possible opponent for the Rapid City congressman is John Milek of Sturgis, whom Werner defeated last year. George O'Neill, state has already tion as first congressman. announced his candidacy, for nominaAside from Treasurer Frank Stewart, who is barred by statute from a third term and may run for auditor instead, all or most of the democratic state officers appear to be receptive toward third terms. Rumors of opposition to some of them, however, are heard in I democratic circles.

In circles opinions differ on republican, state chairmanship should be filled soon.An executive committee has been handling the party's affairs since McDonald's death. Unless the republican state central committee in meantime, the vacancy be filled at the party actin convention following the May 1936 primary. Minnehaha county republicans this week urged the executive committee to call a meeting at Sioux Falls September 17 for selection of a I chairman. Senator Peter Norbeck's Washington statement urging that progressives be given a greater voice in the republican party may reopen the ing feud between the republican senator and conservative G. O.

in South Dakota. Norbeck's supporters regarded his analysis of the situation as pointing the way to success for the party. His opponents privately hinted he was playing into the hands of the democrats by promoting disharmony in the republican The state highway commission, often criticised for slowness in carrying out South Dakota's road program, privately blames the district office of the federal bureau of public roads for much of the delay, although the commissioners will not make any public statements. "As an example it is reported that the program recently submitted to the district bureau office at St. Paul spending part of the state's $6,225,000 allotment contained a couple of typographical errors.

The story is that the correct figures could have been obtained by a simple computation but instead the federal bureau sent to the state highway department have the correction back, made, causing additional delay.

can sewing machines operated by barefooted natives on the streets of Addis Ababa represent Ethiopia's chief claim to "modern yet that empire bears some (economic resemblance to industrialized Italy. Should they go to war, the fighting! would not be between two nations al-: together dissimilar from the stand-1 point of exports and imports. Their exports to the outside world are largely of an agricultural nature. Italy's chief exports are in the field i of wines, livestock, oils, silks and other farm products. Ethopia exports hides, skins, coffee, wax, and a little gold and platinum.

In the field of imports, there also 1s a similarity between the two nations; both of them buying metals, cotton and industrial products from other nations. Industrial Life Differs Here, however, the similarities cease. Italy is a nation possessing modern industries, manufacturing her own munitions and utilizing water power to' provide electricity for her factiries. Ethiopia has virtually no industrial life. Economically, Ethiopia is almost selfsufficient.

Her imports and exports in 1933 totalled only between $7,000,000 and $10.000,000. Italy, which has tried to keep exports and imports in balance for the past few years, had to report a trade deficit of move than $80,800.000 for the first four months of 1935. Internal Italian Debt The Italian government, in figures published covering 1935 up to May, admitted an internal debt of more than $8,500.000,000, while foreign estimates at the end of 1934 placed this figure at $14,000,000.000, to which, if this latter total were accepted, would have to be added admitted deficit of $180,000,000 for the first 10 months of this fiscal year. On the other hand, Italy's gold holdings are $519,000.000, which gives a gold coverage of about 45 per cent to her currency. The primitive currency of Ethiopia is the Maria Thresa dollar of 1781, which is coined from bullion sent to Vienna, and in many of the provinces bars of salt serve as money.

Italy ha; a complicated tax system, like all modern states, while 1 in Ethiopia most of the taxes are administered by tribal chieftains. As for financing a war, some American engineers and economists who have been in Ethiopia doubt that that country could buy supplies for large scale operations. However, they point out that in the type of guerilla warfare used by the natives, large funds are not necessary.

Italy, on the other hand, will have to buy munitions and materials in change for her exports, foreign assets and gold. Although these do not appear very large at present, a Wall street international banker says: "It is probably always true that a country can effect more in purchases abroad than any banker might think it could.
