FOR CRIMINAL REFORM.
President Warren Speaks at Charities
Conference.

The annual conference for South
Dakota of charities and corrections
was held in Redfield recently. E. G.
Issenhuth, of Redfield, gave the ad-
dress of welcome to the delegates,
which was responded to by Col S. X.
Young, of the training school at
Plankinton, after which II. K. War
rem, president of the Yankton college,
and president of the association, de-
livered his annual address upon the
topic of criminal reform.
DIR. Warren urged immediate legis-
lation for the isolation of prisoners
and particularly of persons accused of
crime before their conviction. He
urged also that the parole law be re-
enacted in this state with provision
for the probation of Juveniles and
first offenders, and also urged reform
in criminal procedure.
Dr. Thomas Nicholson, president of
the Dakota Wesleyan university, gave
a notable address upon some ,funda-
mental factors in moral reform. He
urged a higher appreciation of the
value and worth of human life and
cited that as basis for the present
prohibition movement. He also laid
great stress upon the vital importance
of the home and Of character build
ing therein and made strong appeal
for the greater respect for and rigid
enforcement Of law.

Congress must either authorize four
battleships or there will be no public
building legislation at this session, ac-
cording to statement said to have
been made by President Roosevelt.
Thursday the president was discussing
the legislative program with the
members of the North Carolina peace
conference. He is said to have inn
pressed upon his callers the necessity
for an authorization for four battle
ships, adding: IF congress falls to
provide four battleships and passes a
public building bill / shall veto it"
This news created good deal OF ex-
citement at the capitol Friday. The
public building bill now being framed
recognizes every state in the union and
will carry appropriations approximate
ing $20, ,000.0 900. 1t is up to a good
many members to get public buildings
and IL they don't. no matter why, they

bearing on the battleship program will

What does it cost year for the

with perhaps printed cotton gown or
two. is the problem that must be decid-
ed by the thirteen men. Much inter-
est must attach to the decision, as it
may bring to some better halves le-
much more than they are at present
receiving in the way of wearing ap-
parel.
A suit against Howard Gould-an-
other of the several that have been
brought against him since his separa-
ton from his wife-gives the basis for
the query. In a legal action brought
by the Mrs. Osborn company, of which
Mrs. Josefa Nelson Osborne is presi-
dent, and leading designer to people of
fashion, the allegation is made that
Mrs. Gould purchased from the plaint-
iff $20,75O worth of gowns and access
series iii a period OF nine months, and
that she was entitled to do SO on her
husbands credit under his legal re-
quirements, even IL he or she were liv-
ing apart at the time.
Entry of the case was made in Oct
tober of last year, but nothing has
been made public befo>e this.
