court Of Marshall county returned a
verdict Of guilty in the a Of the
state VS.. A. E. Leavitt, of Langford,
charged with bringing live stock into
the state without inspection. Feb. 20
was fixed as the time when sentence
would be imposed upon him. Under
the law the extreme penalty is inn
prisonment for a period of three
years in the Sioux Falls ~penitentiary.
However, it is believed he will not be
given the extreme penalty although

Tertiary term. That Leavitt will take
an appeal appears certain.

THREE CHILDREN DEAD
Kerosene on Live Goals ExpIodes and
Fatally Burns Them

Springfield-A shadow of SORROW
due to the death of three Of the lit
tie girls who were SO badly burned by
the explosion of a can of kerosene
in the George Dawes residence last
Saturday evening, has entered al
most every home in Springfield.
Death came to three of the victims;
Saturday evening and Sunday morn.

Vera Brown, aged 7. was the first
to die, passing away at a few minutes
before 9 o'clock in the evening.
Charlotte Dawes died about an hour
later and the oldest girl, Adelia
Dawes, died at 3 o'clock Sunday
morning.
Hilda Crosley was living this
morning but attending physiaians'
state that she can not live. Her con-
dition proved to be much more .seri--
GUS than was first thought.
The Oldest girl, Adelia Dawes. aged
IA. was attending the fire, and in
order to make the fire burn better
took a five gallon can of kerosene
and attempted to turn some of 1t ON
the fire.
The bottom Of the can was shatter-
ed and the burning oil scattered over
the children in the room at the time
and a fourth little girl EHilda Crosby,
who had just come to the o
Fred, the Oldest brother of the
Dawes children. a local mail carrier,

occurred. He together with the
mother and q neighbor, Mrs. Earl
Dryden, put out the flames. but not
before the four children a been
fatally burned.
All clothing, except footwear, was
entirely burned from three OF the
children. The fourth little girl. VINO
was wearing wraps, was thought az
,rst not to have been burned serl-
ously but has been given up oT tne
doctors.
All Of the children were conscious
and rational until death.
The three sorrowing families arc
we'll known In Springfield. and the
whole community Is shrouded In
gloom over the deaths.

alive. although there is aNsclutely no
hone OF her recovery. The people OF
this community are profoundly i'm

young. who have neither the judg-

MAKING PROHIBITION 4 C0NDI-
TION OF CHURCH MEMBERSHIP. .

The Methodist church, or the domi-
naaag element in It, IN Texas. is call
ing Tor the resignation Of Gov. Col
Quit from that faith because OF his
stand against prohibition.
Gov Colquirr properly takes the
stand that his action on a political is
sue has nothing 10 do with his church
standing and that he is assuming the
right attitude in declining to sever his
relations with the church.
This species Of fanauclsm is one Of
the unfortunate concomi,ants OF the
prohibition movement Men refuse 20
permit their neighbors the right Of
private judgment but insist on domi-
mating the opinions OF others in a
matter in which there is ample ground
for a divergence OF thought.
Prohibition is not a religious issue,
it should no. b. made one. When
churches attempt TO discipline mem
bers because they fail TO see the ad-
vicabiIfty OF prohibition laws they are
taking a false step and placing them
selves in the position OF a tyrant, as
suming 10 fetter the opinions Of their
members on d question that is open 10
reasonable differences.
No doubt Gov Colquitt would like 70
see the evils Of strong drink removed
from Texas, no doubt his desire in that
direction is as sincere as that Of his
ministerial critics, but from a study Of
public conditions he fails TO see that
such law as is proposed would &C
complish that purpose and SO he re-
fuses to align himself with those d.
handing its passage
The decadence OF the prohibition
spirit in several states has been large
lily the outgrowth of the rule or ruin
spirit that seeks to drive men out II
their church relationships because they
refuse to become prohibitionisJs.
There is no quicker way 10 check the
growth Of a reform than to attempt 70
show the strong hand and cOerce and
bulldoze those who honestly differ as
to its feasibility or necessity or Pc
culiar virtues. Only a minor portion
of the prohibitionists Of any state are
of this type, and no doubt the sym
patty of a vast army of opponents of
liquor will be on the side OF Gov. Col
quit in this unfortunate controversy.

And for the old and slow
