NEW LAW BUILDING
is NEARLY COMPI ETrD

Nermillion. S. d., Aug. Silt is ex-
pected that the college of law building,
for which the South Dakota legislature
appropriated $50, 600. will be ready for
occupancy shortly after the opening CT
the fall term. Before the plans were
drawn, Dean Sterling. with the super
vising architect, Joseph Swarz, of Sioux
Falls, visited the principal university
law school buildings of the middle west.
AS a result the building is perhaps the
aandsomest INTELLECTUALLY to be found
in any of the states institutions. The
exterior of the building is of Bedford
stone. In it are a suite of administra-
tive offices for the dean, a fire proof
vault for preserving records, an as
sembly room seating 200, a moot court
room with al. the conveniences of a
we'll equipped court, a large library
room, consultation rooms for students
and their clients, and literary society
rooms. The building will not only in
crease accommodations but extend the
course, especially in moot court prac-
tice. The faculty will continue SUBJ
stantially as heretofore, with the ex-
ception that the department of medical
Jurisprudence will be greatly strength
ened.

Former Prohibitionist Finally Stands Square
in Michigan's Convention

LANSING, Mich, February Especial CORE
spondence) The outcome of the fight for and
against Prohibition clause in the constitution
of Michigan in the constitutional convention in
session here seems to show that Mr.. A. L. Moore
is not as black as he has been painted Mr.. Moore
was recently quoted in the Michigan papers, in
Guiding those of his home town, as favoring a
license clause in the constitution that would make
the legaization of the traffic perpetual in this
state. When this was told of in The National
Prohibitionist, Moore, who used to be Prohi-
bitionist was highly indignant though he took no
pains to secure correction in his home papers.
However, when the matter up for con-
sderation Mr. Moore, who chairman of the
committee in charge of the matter, took firm
stand for Prohibition and against all the nice
looking half-loaf' plans that the "nodel-license-
law" people proposed A good deal of pressure
and some abuse were brought to bear, but Moore
stood firm.
AS result Michigan will not have Prohibi-
ton clause in her constitution, but she also will
not be disgraced by having the license system
nailed fast upon her by constitutional provision.

FIELD DAY IN DETROIT
In Spite of Cold and Snow John Russell Union
Holds Three Meetings in Michigan's
Metropolis

DETROIT, MICH, February 3-(Special CORE
spondence).-T John Russell Union opened its
winter campaign in this city yesterday with three
splendid meetings In spite of the most intense
cold OF the winter and a very bad condition of
the streets on account of ice and snow, each meet
ing was pronounced success.
The speaker of the day was Mr.. William P F
ferguson, the editor of The National PyoJpibi-
ZIONIST. At 10 o'clock in the morning he faced
the congregation of the Haven Methodist Epis-
copal church, on Sixteenth avenue, and for an
hour reasoned of the duty of "The Worshiping
Citizen" He was sp1endidly supported by the
pastor of the church, the Rev. Mr. Crosby, and
made fine impression.
At 3 o'clock the unions special meeting was
held in the Church of Our Father (Universalst)
The large auditorium we'll filled, nearly all
OF those present being young men, A speaker
seldom confronts finer, more apprecative and
receptive crowd. Mr.. Ferguson was warmly
greeted when he was introduced by the president
of the union and repeatedly cheered as the
address proceeded The discussion here was along
the line of the financial argument against the sa-
loon. A considerable number of new members
were secured for the union
In the evening Mr.. Ferguson spoke again at
the Gratot Methodist Episcopal church, address,

At the conclusion of this address fifteen men, all
but one of whom had been old-party voters,

place in their hands such documents as will
Tighten and influence them
AS to results. The plan is new. 1t will have
its first test a comprehensive scale in 1908. In
1902, the last year of the old style campaign, the
general Prohibition vote of the state was 5,7OO,
or less than two per cent Of the total vote of
all parties, indicating less Prohibition sentiment
than in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island South Da-
kota Texas Vermont, and Wisconsin, At the
second election under the new plan of campaign
our legislative vote $4,000, or nearly twelve
percent of the total vote of the state, and led
every state in the Union in ratio of vote to the
total.
We had three men in the legislature without
the aid of the cumulative system, which is three
times better than any other state under like cir
cumstances, and we elected Prohibition sheriff
to boot.
It should be borne in mind that in 1906
nominated in but thirty-one of the sixty-three
legislative districts of the state In the territory
covered our legislative candidates received over
twenty-five percent of the total vote cast.
The chief weakness of the plan is inability to
find sufficient men. Our plans of 1906 contem-
plated fifty organizers We averaged sixteen.
Could we have secured ten more reasonably eff
ficient men, we could have trebled our represen-
tation in the Legislature. U. S. Marshal Grim
shaw the recognized political prophet of the Re-
publican party, conceded us thirteen legislators
the night before, election, 1t is tribute to his
good judgment that the change of an average of
districts would have given us the exact number
he named.
