DIR. STEELE TALKS
 OF PRISON REFORM
PASTOR OF CUMBERLAND PRES. ENTERTAIN CHURCH SAYS THE CHURCH AND SCHOOL WILL I'M
 PROVE EXISTING CONDITIONS.

Prisons and Prisoners" was the sub ject of the sermon delivered in the Cum berland Presbyterian church yesterday morning by the Rev. L D. Steele.
 The object of all imprisonment" said Dr. Steele, Ifs first to protect the lives and property of law-abiding people It Is intended to seriously impress and awe those who have a tendency to violate the law.
 It cannot be said that prisons are re- formatory schools It is not calculated that who goes to the pententiary will come out better a citizen. It may prove blessing in some cases.
 We cannot tell whether prisoners are on the increase CT not. In the last ff- teen years the increase of penitentinry prisoners was thirteen to the million people.
 There are about 2I20 counties in this | country. There are 300 or more counties which have no jails. There are about 500 jails without a soul in them. Many prisoners are counted more than once. | Massachusetts has the most correct jail records of any state. The prison director states that one half of the prisoners have 1 been in jail twice. and one third of the prisoners have been in jail five times and few fifty times.
 "The estimation of prisoners and crimes does not give a elear expression of the condition of the great body of the Amer
 ican people. It is astonishing to say
 that in 1s72-the showing is that 5s per cent. of prisoners arrested were foreign element. New Englands native popula- ton is so per cent of its people. but TO per cen. of it's crime Is charged to foreign element. The great need is to Chrlstianze all clements. whether native or foreign, for no real Christian will live lawiess life.
 "Chlistlanty with education must change the prison element. 1ns great | majority of criminals are of the lower | order of minds. You make ta'-e 1t tfe world over and ignorance Is the hotbed of sin and crime The prison records show that the per cent. is largely on the side of ignorance .n the south--from
 co to So per cent of the prisoners can neither read nor write.
 "'rhe school house is a friend to liberty and to the gospel of Christ. He who Is an enemy to the school is an enemy to civ l illzation. and to the gospel Criminals | begin young, not when they get old, tho majority of them before they are sev- | enteen.
 i We need to guard the young, we need I to teach the young. we need to preach the gospel to the young. The school needs | to be pushed to every corner of the land. | and the gospel must go with 1t in every | place. Schools alone. will not save from sin and crime. The heart and the head must be set right. through preaching and | teaching"

Circuit convention have read with re-
gret the communicated article in the
Rapid City papers of July Q, 1904, in
which an attack is made on the Hon. s:
r.. Wilson and upon the delegations
from the counties of Custer and Fall
River.
The statements contained in said afti-
Gle are false so far as they refer TO the
selection of the delegates from Fall Riy-
er county. Mr.. Wilson is not member
OF the county central committee which
called the county convention which
elected this delegation, and neither was
be consulted in the matter of the time
OF holding said county convention. The
entire issue before said committee being
questions relative TO the candidacy OF
Hon. +. w. Martin for Congress, and
neither did Mr.. Wilson in any manner
influence or attempt to influence the
action Of the county central committee
or the conuty convention in the matter
OF the election OF this delegation.
We denounce the article as unfair and
as an unwarranted attack upon Mr..
Wilson, who was fairly and openly So.
lected by the Republicans of Fall River
county as their candidate for an Office
which requires the highest degree of in.
tegrity and honesty, and we sincerely
trust that the Republican voters of Pen.

The wedding was a quiet affair, only

present. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. hrs. Katherine w. Powell OF

services the wedding party were i'm.
mediately driven to Sylvan lake where

Judgment Against the oou nty Affirmed

Judgment Against the Cou nty Affirmed.
Ed. l.. Grantham received word this
week from the clerk of the supreme
court that the judgment in the case
Custer County Bank VS.. Custer County
had been affirmed.
THIS is an action upon road warrants
issued on Road District No. 6, which
prior to 1895 included Custer City, and
at a time when about $4,000 of such war
rants were outstanding the law of 1895
created an independent road district of
Custer City, leaving very little taxable
property within the district, upon
which levy could be made by the County
Commissioners. This left the holders of
such warrants practically helpless and
much speculation as TO their status and
validity Of these warrants was had. In
1899 an action OF maEdamus ~as brought
against the trustees Of Custer to compel
them to make levy to pay Custer City's
proportionate share of the warrants
Mr.. GraGtham defended the action and
won it for the town. The bank then
brought suit on the warrants, and the
case was tried before Judge Rice in Dec.
ember, 1902 resulting in general judg-
ment against Custer County. Anappeal
was taken by tho comfy upon the
propositions that the county is not gen
orally liable upon road warrants, that
the action was prematurely brought be.
cause before the funds were on hand in
the treasury to pay them. And further
that at most the judgment could only
affect that portion ofthe county original
ly constituting Road District number
6.
This, we are informed, is new prop
osition In this state, and Mr. Grantham
feels justly elated over his success i n the
case.

Matter of Arithmetic.

Pierre Captel.Journal Every dollar
which is paid to the different institu-
tions through the state department from
the endowment funds, reduces the taxes
just that much in their support The
faster that fund can be increased, the
faster taxes will be reduced.
The voters of the state are asked to
consider just for moment if deliber-
ate campaign of SANDER of the section
in which the lands from which these
revenues are derived will help to in
crease the revenue, and whether they
believe for moment they will reduce
taxes by supporting such campaign.
The public school fund is in much the
same shape. Nearly all the lands for
support of the schools in the southeast
ern part of the state have been sold, and
those yet owned by the state are in the
section which is being pounded and de-
rided each day by Mitchell. viii this

purpose These are the questions
which any man can figure for himself

Consult a Lawyer.

The Mitchell Republican seems to
have great difficulty in understanding a
city's relation to the public and to the
law. In discussing the municipalities
proposition to give the state free use OF
its city hall for capitol purposes it says
"The business men of Mitchell have
the credit over the state of being a
pretty honest class, and when their re-
representatives., the members of the city
council, offer to the state free use Of the
city ball building for the capital just as
long as the state desires, the people OF
South Dakota can rely upon the fact
that there is no string to the proposi'
ton"
The Republican ought to consult some
city in this direction. 1t would learn
that even if every business man in the
city, however honestly, should pledge
the city council to grant the state free
use of the city hall, or even IL every man
woman and child residing in Mitchell
should make such a pledge, still the
council has no poger under the laws to
grant any such use; and any payer OF
real or personal taxes into the Mitchell
treasury, whether residing there or else
where, could go into the courts, whether
asa matter Of Justice or caprice or ba9k'
mail, and compel the eity to eject the
state Off cials and their records, and
hunt other quarters. Even II, in addition
to having credit for honesty. "the bust
ness men of Mitchell" were angels with
slittering halos, the city council has nc
power to do what Mitchell has promis
cd.

Resolutions


At the close of the Republican Judic-

9tk inst, the delegations from Custer
county arose to question of personal
privilege, and in response to a scurril-
Gus article appearing 10 Rapid City pap
ers on the morning of the convention,
presented the following resolution which
by unanimous consent were made part
of the record.
Be it resolved by the delegates from
Custer county to the judicial convention
in caucus assembled. that We denounce
the communicated article appearing in
the Rapid City Journal of July 9th, 1904
as wholly falls, and without any founda.
ton in fact That Custer county in the
regularly called delegate convention
selected the delegates to the judicial
convention, the call therefore having
been made after the call for the said
county convention at which the dele.
gates were chosen. This was done by
unanimous consent of said convention
for the purpose of saving the expense
and inconvenience of a second and sep.
arate convention for that purpose.
Be it further resolved that we de
nounce as false all the insinuations that
the Hon. S. f. Wilson had anything tc
do with selecting such delegates, and
likewise any inference that we were
chosen in his interest.
