The Koch murder trial at New
Ulm, Mimi, came to an end Frida J
last when the jury reported failure
to agree, The vote of the jury stooo
9 to 3 in favor of acquittal, No case
of the kind has aroused such interest
in years. Koch was accused of the
murder of one Gebhardt, rival den
tist. The victim enjoyed the larger
practice of the two, but Koch was
doing we'll. Business jealousy was
the motive which the prosecution
| attempted to establish. There was
not one particle of direct evidence
produced TO show that Koch was
the guilty party All evidence was
circumstantial aud some of it was
SO far fetched that it is a wonder it
was ever admitted by the trial Judge
The fact that Koch was said to pos
sess one of thousand lead pencils
put out as advertisement by a GER
tain firm and that such pencil was
found at the scene of the crime was
considered by the prosecution as a
strong point. 1t WAS also attempted
to prove that Koch sent Gebhardt
package of poison some time prior,
but this amounted to even less than
the lead pencil evidence. A hand
kerchief With Koch's initials marked
ia one corner was found near the
lead pencil, which might be said to
be the strongest evidence introduced
against the accused. On the
strength of this evidence, and in
face Of the fact that an eye witness
who, in looking over the transom
above the door, saw the crime com
mitted and testified absolutely that
Koch was not the murderer, three OF
of the jury voted to convict To us
it appears to have been an attempt
to fasten the crime upon an innoce MT
man. Great interest in this trial has
been taken by the New Ulm people,
and it is said that strong factional
lines have been drawn between those
for and against the accused. Some
where within that faction which
has put forth such an effort to con-
vict Koch will be found the murder
er. The accused will, of course, be
made to stand new trial, but it
will take place in another county,
and it is also reported that the Judge
who presided at the trial will either
send the case out of the district, or
will call another judge to preside.

Of the plant at profit to state and
at great saving to South Dakota
farmers. On the other haud shirt
factory would necessarily lind all
sorts OF competition; it is donbtful
if the output could be sold at prof
it to the state on any such scale as
would be be realized from twine
plant. The difference in the cost of
establishing the shirt factory as
against that Of twine plant is prob
ably the greatest argument 10 it S
favor. But here again we have only
another instance of the great fin
anciering that has characterized the
spending OF the states funds in the
past. What is the expenditure OF
100000 or even Sl00,000y00 for a
twine plant when the benefit to be
derived is to be considered? At the
last session there was enough money
wasted in new buildings to have put
t~ine plant 10 operation. A bill is
even now before the Legislature to
appropriate S52,00000 for building
for the Aberdeen normal school, the
fourth institution Of its kind in a
state of only half million popul-
alton. There has been, aud is now,
no use for the fourth normal school,
and yet the chances are ten to one
that the normal will get an appropri-
alton for new building, and the ln-
ternational Harvester trust will
have the twine business. The peni-
Tertiary may get shirt factory, but
if it makes shirts enough for ils own
use and for the insane asylum it viii
be doing well. We regard the shirt
factory bill as simply IA means -
defeat the twine plant proposition.
There is no lack OF funds to establish
the twlne plant. The state has
plenty of funds. 1t is only a
question as to whether the
funds shall be put to some good use
or expended for new buildings, which
have been declared unnecessary by
the board of regents, The state is
now on the verge of another issue OF
emergency warrants. Wouldn t it be
a grand thing to put The state pen
it entiary on self sustaining basis
and two years hence escape the emer-
gency warrant 81 Or shall we have
shirt fact ory and a few more school
building that are unnecessary : Some
things are up to the legislature.

THERE are evidently some in our
Legislature who think the state can
afford an appropriation of $4,000 .0C
for fourth building at the fourth
state normal school, and that we are
too poor to afford $4,000. 90 to 500,
10000 for binding twine plant at
the penitentiary. Well, there is a
difference. The twine plant might be
OF some use and profit, but the
normal school will be useless until
we duble ourpopulation. The chances
are in favor of the normal school APP
preparation. There's business for you
with big "B".

THERE was time when we were
inclined to sympathize with Senator
Smoot, and, as matter OF fact, it
did look as if the attempt to GUST
him from a seat in the senate was
only persecution. 1t was persecu-
tion so far as many of the prime
movers were concerned, they were
actuated more by bigotted opinions
than by knowledge of affairs of
the Norman church. Senator Du-
bois, perhaps, was the only
one connected with the affair that
had clear and definite knowledge
of the matter. The Investigation
has been carried to considerable
length and Smoot has testified in
his own behalf. From his statements
we are led to believe that he puts
Norman church authorities ahead OF
the United States government iu his
allegiance IL is clear that he wants
TO divorce himself from the dis
gusting and unlawful practice OF his
church just enough to be eligible
TO a seat in the senate, and not

REPORTS from Pierre would indicate
that all is not smooth sailing for the
proposed submission of the primary
system. The petition with over 5000
signatures has been filed with the
secretary of state and certified to
both branches of the Legislature by
that official. With every detail com
piled with by the petitioners there
would be no question as to the sub
mission of the question to the voters
at the next general election. But it
transpires that the legality of the
petition is questioned. 1t is charg-
ed q that tthhs proposed la law il ffuitii ffuitii, or
a sufficient synopsis of it, was not
printed or written at the head of the
petition blanks, that signatures are
duplicated, aud that in other details
the law was not complied with. 1t is
reported that these charges are to be
investigated. We have no knowledge
as to whether these charges are true.
However, it is probable that if the
Legislature fails to submit the
question, it will be due to such de-
ficiencies. 1t does not seem that the
majority Of the legislature, whether
for or against the measure personally,
would dare to ignore legal petition
and the sta tutes under which such a
petition was filed.

A REPRESENTATIVE in the legislature
has introduced a bill for the establish
ing of shirt factory at the state
penitentiary. To establish such a
factory would certainly kill the twine
plant proposition. Of course. there
is something to be said in favor of
the shirt factory. 1t will cost less
money to establish the factory,
and perhaps cost less to operated
and maintain. On the other hand,
there is something to be said in favor
of the twine plant, whIchs it has been
estimated, could be established on
a moderate scale at an expense of
about $50, 10000 First, twine plant
would not come 10 c,mptetition

'cle. Second, the demand for twine
is such that there would be no diff.
