State Institutions of Charity.

AT the close of the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1907, says the Pierre
i5akotan, the penal and charitable
institutions of the state contained the
following population: Training
School, Plankinton, 81 males, IA fe-
males, total II; Feeble Minded, Red
ield, 60 males, 50 females, total
1926; School for Blind, Gary, 80
males, IL females, total 40; School
for Deaf Mutes, Sioux Falls, 80
males, 3S females, total 10; Penllen-
tiary, Sioux Falls, $50 males, 2 fe-
males, total 1872; Hospital for Insane,
Yankton, 430 males, 24S females,
total CTS.
This makes a grand total Of 1,16S
people of the derelict and defective
classes in this state out of a prob
able population of less than a half
million people. This is an exceed
1ngly low ratio as compared with
that of other states. 1t should be
noted, however, that there are some
thing over 200 of the feeble minded
and blind and deaf classes in the
state that are not in the institutions.
1t is becoming constantly more
difficult to secure and retain proper
help at the institutions. Not less
tnan fifteen people could secure en-
ployment at the Hospital for Insane
at Yankton at present time at good
wages Wages have been repeatedly
raised at this institution, as at 9TH
ers, but this does not entirely give
relief. New buildings are being con-
structed az the ~penitentiary and at
the School for Deaf Mutes and at the
Hospital for insane, for each of which
special appropriations were made by
the last legislature.
Inc construction of a Irvine plant
at the penitentiary is being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible.
When this is completed and in oper-
ation farming win be practically ELI
minated from this institution.
AT the different institutions the
state owns land as follows: Train
ing School TOT acres, valued at $685.
600; School for Feeble Minded, 4S7
acres, valued at 100000; School for
Blind. 20 acres, valued at $1,000,
P~enitentiary, 1926 acres, valued at
$4,000; School for Deaf Mutes, 80
acres, valued al $4,000; Hospital for
Insane, $40 acres, valued at s4O,-
900.
This makes a total of $4,000
worth Of lands. To this amount may
be added $93O,O00 for buildings and
$4,000 for other personal proper
ty, making $1,157,OOO as a grand
total that the state has invested in
these plants.

Free Alcohol.

A large part of the veXations re-
strictions upon the manufacture of
denatured and untaxed alcohol are
now removed, and any farmer can
go into the business. He can set up
his still and make the stuff as fast
as the demand makes it profitable.
The profit of it will depend upon the
use of engines built so as to burn
the new fuel. 1t is not vain to hope
that such alcohol will be an impor-
tant addition to the country's fuel
supply, in time, for such has been
the experience in foreign countries,
where there has been no internal
revenue tax to prevent manufacture
and create an artificial demand for
gasoline.
Imprc aed methods of manufactur-
ing this new fuel are certainly to be
expected, just as surely as the art OF
refining has turned petroleum from
a sticky, smoky. heavy fluid, into
kerosene and gasoline. The fact
that alcohol cannot now be produced

No Faith in Immunity.

he statement of Ex-Governor Dur
bin, of Indiana, that he was offered
a bride of $4,000 to surrender ex-
Governor Taylor of Kentucky to the
authorities of that state for trial on
Tie charge of numbering William II.
Gobel would have received more Gre
dence if it had been made sooner
than six years after the alleged at
tempt ut corruption and before the
death of the man to whom the Of
fer was made for the benefit Of Mr..
Durbin.
There was only one witness friend
~ to Governor Durbin, present when
the bribe was rendered, and he is
dead.
The question naturally arises, why
Governor Durbin sen an emissary
TO Cincinnati, in another state. to
meet a delegation from Kentucky, if
actuated by entire good faith in the
proceedings?
Also, what is the occasion for tell
ing this story, which it is impossible
to substantiate, at this time?
There is no other excuse except
the renewed effort of the Kentucky
authorities to get Taylor back in
their jurisdiction. lie has been Of
fered immunity I'm arrest, if he
returns to test !, against Caleb
Powers, charged Il the same hon.
icide, although a Indictment for
murder in the first degree hangs
over Taylor.
Mr.. Taylor has wisely kept away
from Kentucky for seven years. In
refusing the promise of immunity, he
has stated his reasons. He has no
faith in it IS it is illegal. There is
a large sun OF money, originally
100000. at the disposal of the
prosecution for his case. There are
several persons indicted for the Co
bel murder, who might be constrain-
ed to testify against him. Judges
and iuries in Kentucky cannot al
ways separate politics from evidence
in murder trials. Hence MI. TAYLOR
will not return to Kentucky, for any
purpose, unless he is guaranteed a
judge that will be satisfactory to
him and a jury containing six repub-
licans. He makes other demands to
insure his safety.
1t looks as if Mr.. Taylor and
States Attorney Franklin, of Ken
lucky are competing with each other
in making propositions that are i'm
possible of acceptance. Mr.. Frank
lin will, therefore, be exhonorated
for not securing the return of Taylor,
and MI. Taylor will be justified in
remaining outside the state.-St.

War and Emigration.

An interesting and suggestive, if
not entirely convincing, comparison
between war and emigration as caus-
es of national loss is made by Mr..
G. de Thierry in The United Ser
vice Magazine" His argument is
that the emigration of a man is a
greater loss than the killing Of a
soldier, and that thus the United
Kingdom has suffered much greater
losses through eXpatriation than
through war.
Some of his statistics are at any
rate Impressive. In the last ia
years, since the outbreak of the
French Revolution, he computes
that the United Kingdom has spent
II ,262,S63,111 in wars. On the
other hand, in less than half that
time, or since 1853, 7,OO6,261 sub
jects have expatriated themselves by
emigrating to lands outside of the
empire. He reckons that they car
ried with them in cash or it's euuiva-
lent s231, 209,313. Moreover, one
VI 'ASll WSlC dDl0 DOu1GQ
workers, who, he calculates, were
worth $3.50 each. Thus a total loss
to the United Kingdom of s1,314,-
442,63S is computed, or considerably
more than the cost OF all the wars
in twice as much time. The
ment fails to be conclusive, because
1t does not take into account the
enormous cost Of naval and military
establishments in times of peace, or
the vast indirect losses caused by
war, OF yet, on the other hand, the
very large sums sent back into the
kingdom by prosperous eXpatriates
for the "old folks at home" There
are other factors in the case, too,
direct and indirect, of much impor-
lance, but so practically impossible
to determine definitely that any at
temp TO strike can exact balance in
pounds. shillings and pence between
the costs of war and those of peace
must be regarded as futile, save in
the way of suggestion. And in the
figures given by Mr.. de Thierry
there is certainly much food for
thought, both on the subject of
I.i.itarism and on political, social
and industrial matters.-New York
Tribune.

six of every congressional township
u~nsurveyed." Later before the sur
veys in the Black Hills section were
completed a large part of that coun-
try was set aside as forest reserve.
Still later a law was enacted allow
ing settlers to make homestead en-
try on lands within the forest reserve,
which were not valuable for timber.
Under that law a number of squat
tiers went upon agricultural lands
within the reserve and later when
surveys were made they were found
to be upon sections claimed by the
state.
The contention of the state has
been ever since the question was
property but the secretary of the in
terror has ruled all along that the
settlers had prior right as they had
settled prior to the survey, and in
fact that the provisions of the en-
aiding act meant practically nothing.
On a recent trip east Attorney
General Clark took up the matter
with the forest reserve legal depart
ment and found that they believed
in the contention of the state, but
desired to settle the matter in some
way without disturbing settlers, not
only for South Dakota, but for other
forest reserve states.
These two plans were suggested,
one thai the states be given a por-
ton OF the forest reserve equal to
the two sections in each township,
but mat it all be in one body; the
other that the states be granted a
proportionatc share in. the revenues
from the forest reserves, equal to
thei claims in title; that the reserve
be handled by the government, and
the AMOUNT due each state be turned
over to the school funds.
A conference of the legal officers
Of the states interested with the legal
department of the government will
be called at some central northwest
city at an early date, and some de-
finite plan of action will be formu-
lated. While South Dakota is the
only state which has agitated the
matter, the other interested states
will be asked to take part. About
$4,000 acres is involved in this state,
and a much larger amount in other
northwest states, and Lac govern
Eent forestry department desires to
have the whole deal cleared up I'M
