Improvement Of Cities

Charles Milford Robinson, in The
Charities and The Commons, maya
zine devoted to civic Improvement, in
discussing the development in the
United States of the new science of
city building and Of the movements
social importance for the recasting OF
physical conditions, has the following
to say on the subject Of replannine
cities:
"As to the method Of procedure a
word should suffice. The replannine
of cities is clearly a serious matter
to be undertaken only with full un.
Outstanding Of the general problem in
all It's ramiacations, with careful study
and after much experience. It is best
that local prejudices should not warn
the Judgment nor familiarity dull the
sense to opportunities for change. For
these reasons the best results are oh.
tanned from outside advice. And 1t is
clear, too, that the study, il properly
undertaken, is full Of promise for the
future. There is perhaps no other cur.
rent movement Of equal promise to so
many persons Of so many classes OF
society. This is because replanning,
II not superficial and spectacular
merely strikes at the root and caus-
es OF things. Thence, indeed, has
come It's new and higher dignity"

eve are surely glad it is over.
No more bitter campaign was ever
waged in South Dakota, nor could it
be otherwise. From the moment
that Coe. /. Crawford, declared three
years ago, that there could be no
compromise; declared in effect that
lifelong republicans who would not
bow to the mandate Of himself and
his antirepublican allies, must be
crushed, the fight was on and to a
finish If the reading public has
become sick and Disguised with the
whole mess, what, think you, has
been the frame Of mind Of those pub
fishers who have had 10 take hand?
There may be certain pleasurable
excitement in spasmodic dog fight,
or concert Of Kilkenny cats may
serve as an occasional diversion 10
break the monotony. But to the
lover OF peace perpetual howl takes
on very disagreeable sound after a
time. We have had enough Of it
and more than enough = Groton

We think in the above Brother
Reeves has expressed the sentiments
OF editors throughout the state quite

Senator Borah Of Idaho, who started
the agitation on behalf of the Iowa
governor, spent much time sounding
Western delegations in his behalf
and announced that he had found
much encouragement. The mention
of Governor Cummins' name was re-
ceived with varying emotions by the
members of the Iowa delegation, and
it soon became evident that in the
event the governors candidacy should
be more energetically pressed, his
Iowa support would not be confined to

END OF THE GOEBsL CASE
Caleb Powers and James Howard Are
Pardoned.


Frankfort. KY, June BY an
nouncing the pardon of Caleb Powers
and James Howard, Governor Wilson
closed the last chapter in one of the
most noted criminal cases in the his
try of this state, in which the people
of all sections of the United States
have formally expressed their interest
by signing the petitions for pardon.
In the closing days of January eight
years ago, while the contest of Will
lam Goebel for the gubernatorial
seat occupied by William S. Taylor
was being heard, Goebel was shot, dy-
ing later from his wound. The shot
was believed to have come from a
half open window OF the secretary
of states Office and as Caleb Powers
was then filing that position sus.
piciou was at once directed toward
him and his arrest followed.
Four times Powers has been put on
trial for his life on the charge Of
completely in the murder the first
three trials resulting in conviction
and sentence, death being the penalty
in two trials On the fourth trial
which came after the case had been
carried to the federal supreme court
being finally appealed to the supreme
court, which turned it back to the
state courts, the jury disagreed and
thereupon the efforts for a pardon for
Powers, as well as for James Howard,
who had been convicted some years
ago on charges of completely, were re.

1t Arrives When His Neck Is Barred
for the Moose.
Chicago, June 13.-Herman BilIek,
the clairvoyant condemned to die at
IL o'clock Friday, was granted a re-
prieve as his neck was barred for the
moose and his guards were ready for
the death march to the soaffold. Judge
Kenesaw M. Lands, the federal judge
who fined the Standard Oil company
$29.240,000 ordered a stay of execu-
ton at 11:10 o'clock, thereby giving
Rillek time to carry his case before
the supreme court Of the United
States.
The incidents attending the stay OF
execution were dramatic in the ex-
IRENE. Billek was snatched from
death almost at the foot of the scat
fold He had received the rite OF ex-
IRENE JUNCTION. With Father O'Cal
lahan he had uttered his last prayer
His neck had been barred for the moose
and the jailor was forming the line
to march to the scaffold
Billek was tried and convicted of
poisoning to death Mary Vzral, TWEEN
ty-two years old, and was accused of
similarly causing the death of four
other members of the Vzral family.
Mrs. Rose Vzral, the mother of Mary

TAFT MEN IN CONTROL.
Resolutions Committee Considering
the Platform.


the Platform.
Chicago, June 1.-THE Taft forces
claim to have the advantage in the
struggle over the injunction plank OF
the platform. They assert that the
appointment of a subcommittee of
thirteen to consider the various con-
troverted planks was distinct sue
cess for them and pointed with much
satisfaction to the fact that Chair
man Hopkins had appointed ON this
committee nine men who favored the
injunction plank and four who are op-
posed to 1t.
The Taft managers predict favor
able result In the full committee and
In the convention, but admit their
fight will be desperate.
The opposition, still under the lead
ership of Speaker Cannon, who di-
reefs his forces from his quarters at
the Union League club, is claiming
thirty votes to twenty-five on the full
committee and expressing confidence
that when the platform goes to the
convention the Objectionable plank
will be missing.
