State News of Interest
STATE SOCIALLY HEALTHY.
Prisons and Poorhouses Are Little
Patronlzed In South Dakota.

prisons and Poorhouees Are Little
Patronlzed In South Dakota.
w. E. Upton, member Of the state
board of charities and corrections, and
corresponding secretary of the Nation
al Conference Of Charities and Correc-
tons. which holds it's next session in
May at Richmond, Va, has secured
some interesting facts relative to the
social conditions in South Dakota,
which he will present at that time.
The showing is remarkable for a
young state with 100000 population.
From the records Of the institutions
Of the state it is ascertained that on
Jan. /, 1908, there were 1875 men and
two women doing time In the state
prison at Sioux Falls, twenty-four Of
whom are serving life sentences. A
majority of the convicts, however, are
short-time prisoners. 1t is shown that
in the various county jails OF this
state there were % men and not a
single woman serving short-time SEN
fences, and that there are seventy
four men and one woman being held
in the jails awaiting trial.
There are fifty six boys and seven
teen girls being educated in the state
training school at Plankinton. One Of
the most significant facts shown Is
that of the entire population only ITO
men and 105 women are being cared
for In the poorhouses and almshouses
in the state, and that a mere bakers
dozen are receiving public aid in their
homes. These figures do not include
the inmates of the soldiers home. In
the insane hospital at Yankton there
are 452 men and 255 women. This
makes one insane person to every 700
of the population on the average. The
usual average is about one in every
$50 or 500. This is an exceptionally
good showing in the insane class.

TRUCE IN COUNTY SEAT WAR.
Tri-Division Proposition Brings De-
cision to Waive Vote This Year.

County division for Stanley county
appears to be dead for this year. At
a meeting at Philip it was discovered
that while some of the people wanted
two-county division others would not
be satisfied with anything but three
county division, and the old boun-
daries of Jackson county restored,
making new county Of that part Of
Stanley lying west of Lyman county.
While no action was taken formally
the sentiment Of the people who at
tended the meeting was at its close
that any attempt to divide either in
two or three counties at the present
time would bring on such contest
that 1t would be better to allow the
matter to go over the election of this
year and be settled at some time In
the future when further development
would more definitely settle where
the lines should be drawn.

UUoSUOoU Mcn6 FeocraIj0n ~ -
Heard by State Board.
The matter Of preparing q new
schedule Of reduced rates for that por-
uon of South Dakota lying west OF the
Missouri river was considered to some
extent at the regular monthly meeting
Of the state board of railroad commits
sioners, which has just been held at
the headquarters Of the commission in
Sioux Falls.
The commissioners decided that the
board should hold special meeting at
Fort Pierre on March 10 for the ex-
press purpose of considering the mat
ter. The railroad commissioners have
been advised that the executive COM
mittee of the State Federation Of Bus
mess Mems clubs will meet with the
board at that time and submit data In
support of the demand for an adjust
ment and reduction of freight rates
west OF the Missouri river.
The railroad commissioners on
March 13 will hold another special
meeting, this time at Huron, for the
consideration of rates on milk and
cream.
One hundred and seventy-five Of the
business men of Flandreau, together
with Bert J. Francis, president and
Jesse A. Smith, secretary of the Com
mercial club Of Flandreau, filed with
the board petition asking that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way company be required to improve
its train service on it's Southern Min
nesota and Sioux City & Dakota di-
visions.
1t is set forth in the petition that
under the present train service it Is
impossible to go from Flandreau to
any point along the Southern Mime
sofa or Sioux City & Dakota divisions
and return the same day either by
passenger or freight train.
The South Dakota board, in connec-
ton with the Minnesota board, will
take up the matter of the desired i'm
proved train service at once, and will
endeavor to secure the Improvement
desired by the residents Of Frandreau
and the people of other towns along
the line who would be benefited by an
improvement in the train service as
suggested in the petition of the Fran
dreau people.

Plans have been completed by the
Deadwood Business club for the or

capital that will remodel the old foun-

company, which was burned down at
Deadwood more than year ago. The
lack of the foundry has been sadly felt
there and other towns are getting the
most of the business In that line. J.
G. O'Donnell, the proprietor of the old
foundry, is one of the principal mem
bers OF the new company and will
manage the foundry. The new foun-

expected that it will be in operation
some time during the present year, as
work on it's construction shortly will

WOMEN CAN VOTE.
School Issue Gives Right OF Suffrage,
Attorney General Says.

A number OF towns and cities OF the
state will this year vote on the ques-
ton OF issuing school bonds to meet
the rapidly growing demands of the
school population. In this relation 1t
is generally interesting to know that
Attorney General Clark has ruled that
women are entitled to vote at such
elections. basing his opinion upon the
provisions Of section of article OF
the constitution, which, after providing
that any woman having the qualifica-
tons Of voter as to age and resi-
dence may vote at any election held
so.ely for school purposes" The ques-
tion was taken to the attorney general
by women at Mitchell, where a vote
was being taken on bonds for school
building construction, and after Sc
curing his opinion they generally vot-

the commission to investigate dependency
and crimes reached Mount Holly on time
and had before 1t several witnesses who
were asked questions to such length as to
cause the sitting of the commission to last
until nine o'clock In the evening. Had
the law under which the commission was
acting been adhered to, many Of the in
terrogations woul baye been omitted
What has the price the Sheriff pays his
deputy, or the number of horses on the
county farm, or the commitment of dy-

crime The commission however had to
make showing and used Its own partic-
uIar methods to do 1t. When given a
chance to go before the grand jury now in
session and tell what the members pro-
fessed to know there was crawfishing
that was amusing, and when an effort was
made to serve paper that would bring
one of them to the test, the server was
brusheA aside like fly. The work OF the
commission here, on Tuesday, will doubt
less be the foundation of lengthy report
on the great criminal conditions of Bur
lingtcn county. yet as matter of fact
little of Importance was shown. The
greatest effort was against the almshouse.
The News has criticised the management
of this institution, mainly on financial
grounds, but we have no hesitation In say
ing that, under the present condition of
affairs, as the buildings are now situated,
no man can get better results or keep
affairs in any better shape than the pres
emit steward. If the law is to be observed
with reference to separation of the sexes
the almshouse will have to be turned into
q prison.

No SURPRISE was expressed when Gen.
E. Burd Grubb sent his letter accepting
the Democratic nomination for Congress
In the Second District. Indeed, the sur
prise would have been great had he done
otherwise. At the age of 81 years a man
is naturally fattered at being rendered
what appears to be an honor, and the first,
and in this case, the last inclination, Is to
accept. After an allegiance of nearly a
half century Gen. Grub renounces Re-
publicanism and goes to the party that.had
denounced him and robbed him Of an
Office to which he was legally elected.
We have not seen the original letter OF
acceptance but take the report of city
paper which says that Gen. Grubb, in that
letter, says: II am for the Denveriplat-
form, heart and SOUL" The nomination
of Gen. Grub is not so much that the
Democrats like him any more now than
they did when they robbed him of the
Governorship. but 1t was case of desper
alton with that organization. They knew
Il bQdb d OCluOCkdb WOAAA hNu A1NS eAAS oAA ~
est chance of election, so they concluded
to try and get votes from the Republican
ranks by taking man of that persuasion
Consequently they swallowed all Jumps
that arose In their throats and with cheer
and applause named the man who onc'
sent dozens of their party to prison fol
election crimes. We do not intend tt
heap personal abuse upon this candidate
there is more need for pity. Republican,
who do not think the policies of Bryan
are the safest to follow, will hardly exer
every nerve to aid the man who Is Willing
to take up new ideas on impulse, and Their
are many Democrats who feel that !
would be better to go to defeat with on
of their own faith than to assist mai
chosen just for particular occasion.

WHAT Democrats thought of E. Burd

can candidate for Governor, might make
Interesting reading now. Up to the time
he was thrust upon the Democratic con
vention at Burlington, there had not been
notice served that he had renounced his
Republican principles. but that did not
make any difference. The other side was
In need of some one they thought could
win. In looking over the files of The
News In 1889, we find the report of a
Democratic convention at which Dr. Gill
bert, of Bordentown, was nominated for
an office. In his speech of acceptance the
doctor is reported as saying that Leon
Abbot is the only honest politician /

he weuld not concede this county to Gen.
Grub, to whom mo tribute should be
paid" The doctor further said he was a
Democrat through and through. wanted
everybody to know it, urged Democrats
to stick to their ticket, and for not one
of that faith under any circumstances to
vote for Grubb. as 1t was no time to pay
tribute to any one but Democrat.
