The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1907-03-08

tiOns with our sister states and
against the degradation of our prosti-
tuting our state sovereignty to the
low degree of common collection
agency and closed with a magnificent
peroration in VII ,ch he word painted a
picture entitled I'm Shame" in which
South Dakota was the centerpiece pre-.
figured as healthy young woman
naturally comelv and winsome, but
made hideous by greed, grasping to
wiring profit out of the lives Of her
sisters. Senator Goodnes, in response
also painted picture in which South
Dakota on the one hand, young, fair
and beautiful, stood boldly forth in
the radiance of her own statute pro
viding a court in which every claim
ant could have his rights adjudicated
while North Carolina crouched hiding
from her creditors behind the shield
Of her state sovereignty.
Senator Byrne, too, made a strong
defense of the conduct of the state
and declared if the money was to be
refunded it should go to Simon Scha
equitable claim upon it He thought
South Dakota was in sense the trus
tee of Simon Schafer to devote the
proceeds of these bonds to educational
or charitable purposes and he was not
sure that should South Dakota return
the money to North Carolina that
Schafer would not have an action
ot,,s,{
ley agreed with Dillon. He declared
South Dakota had entered into a con-
spiracy with Jew to skin the Demo
Gratis of North Carolina and he was
for refunding the money. The bill to
refund was killed by vote of 25 to 16,

Divorce Bill Approved.
The course of the Carolina debate
was Interrupted by the divorce bill,
which was a special order. The bill
has been pending in committee since
early in the session and finally came
out with two reports. The action was
upon adoption. The topic was vigor-
ously debated, Dillon, Dudley and
Goodner speaking against the bill and
Lothrop and Dowdell making the prin-
cipal arguments for it. The debate
between Dudley and Dowdell became
somewhat acrimonious. The vote
stood % to Is, favorable to the bill, as
follows:

Doering, Dowdell, Erion, Goodsell,

Another pyrotechnic display was at
once precipitated over Kribs' house
bill against unjust discrimination,
which provides that dealers shall not
sell goods in one town for less than
they sell the same in another for the
purpose of destroying competition. 1t
Is aimed chiefly at the practices of
the Standard Oil company and the
lumber trust. Many senators feared
1t would prevent merchants from sell
ing goods at discount to clean up
broken stock; that millers would have
trouble In meeting competition from
outside the state and many other
similar objections were raised. Byrne
and Jenkins ably championed the bill
and were supported by a good major
ity upon the roll call and the bill
passed, but with too few to carry the
emergency clause, which was stricken
out.
Unappropriated Lands.
There is balance of unappropri-
ated lands granted by the government
for educational and charitable pur-
poses amounting to about rs, 600 acres.
They are the culls of the selections
and not very valuable, but they have
long been bone of contention. Two
years ago an attempt to give them to
Yankton asylum failed. Watertown
tried TO get them this year and failed
A bill is pending in the senate to
