MITCHELL MEETING
FORMALLY CALLED
STATE PROGRESSIVE LEAGCE
WILL DISCUSS CHOICE OF
PRESIDENT AZ GATHERING
DURING CORN P.iI..ACE.

Pierre. S. D.-The following is the
call issued by the Progressive Repub-
lican State League. for Il meeting i'm
Mitchell Sept. 2S,h.
The establishment OF our nation
was made. on the proposition that the
will of the people enacted into law
under a constitution would produce
the freest and the highest type OF
government.
This call is to such Republican as
believes the principle yet remains
wise and sound.
The meeting is called at Mitchell.
South Dakota on the 2Sth day of Sep
TENDER, 1911, at | O'Clock r. NJ. This
date falls on Thursday of Corn Palace
week at at Mitchell.
The purpose is to advise on the
pertinent question of the wisdom OF
the Taft administration, and whether
President Taft has justitiable claim
on the Republicans of South Dakota
for a denomination in the light of
progressive principles.
Should it be determined that he
has no claim, based upon his 4 years
of administration as president, the
next logical question will naturally
be whom should the Republicans of
South Dakota favor for President to
eucceed Taft.
"A second proposition to be discus
sed is whether the proposed new prt-
mary law, which is to be voted upon
at the next general election is in the
interest Of good government and
should be enacted into law by the
vote of the people.
Thirdly the meeting is to discuss
such public questions as may have to
do with the maintenance of a form
the people.
Free discussion to all will be per-
mitted under proper parliamentary
rules, except that no discussion of
state candidate will be allowed, o
any action allowed relating thereto.
I'VE have assurance that the meet.
ing will be addressed by Senator Coe
l. Crawford, Governor r. S. Vessey,
and other prominent representatives
of the people.
ut is hoped to secure EX-Govern-
or Hoch Of Kansas, whose reputation
has created a desire in the minds Of
the people to listen to him. -.
This meeting is called by the
State branch OF the National Progress
sive Republican League organized
last winter in Washington. The
State League was organized last win
ter at a large and representative
meeting held at Pierre.
Peter Norbeck, President.
John Sutherland, Secretary.

THE BEATTIE DECISION.

Justice wears a sterner visage
since the Beattie verdict.
Only those who heard all the evi.
dence on the case, who had oppor.
tunity to judge the credibility of the
witnesses from their conduct on the
stand, are qualified to say the de.
cision of the jury was warranted
At this distance Beattie cen q
weak, almost irresponsible slave OF
passions INDUCED by wealth. 1t is
not necessary to say that. the cir.
cumstances surrounding the muir
der of his wife point to him as the
author of the dreadful crime. The
important fact is that pride of fam
lily and length of purse have not
sufficed to halt the law of Virginia
in pronouncing it's verdict. BY rea-
son of that, the law has gained in
the public's respect of it.
Much that is repulsive has been
brought out in this case. Though
The Republican has no stomach for
such denominations as Beattie's re-
lations with the Binford child, the
story of the case has been publish
ed nevertheless. 1t is Just one more
to add to the thousands of demon
strations that dissipation is not
smart but utterly foolish, not salts
flying, BUT heart-breaking and life
wrecking. If Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr., by his submission to sensuality,
has shown the youth of the country
what may come of such practices,
he will have performed the only
usefulness that his life seems to
have produced.

H WEST SYSTEM.
.s-Se+-&.

One of the biggest men on the Pa
citic coast today is Oswald Wesi.. gov,
ernor OF Oregon. Ii is no that he i:
a successful politician that makes
him a big man. but the fact thai ne
has attracted almost nation wide at
tention 10 his management of the
i~penitentiary. The reform he has beer
able TO work in the state prison is
. worthy of the most careful considera-
ton. Immediately after his election
he visited the penitentiary and spent
many days there studying carefully
the actual conditions that surround
the prisoners. He talked with them,
visited the Kitchens, examined the
food that was served the inmates. no.
ticed the kind of cells they had, look
ed into their amusements and noted
iiC ldUOl luc inmates were given 10
do. He saw that gre t improvement
could be made in almost every direc-
ton, and Immediately he began his
reform. He ordered that the very
best food he given the prisoners, that
it should be served on clean, white
table cloth and in good dishes. in
stead of on oil cloth and in tin ware.
He had some pictures hung up in the
dingy dining room. The old buili-
fngs around the prison were torn
down and better ones put in their
places. The guards on the walls with
'Winchesters in their hands we're dis
missed. and every prisoner was put
on his honor. The prisoners we're
sent out into the fields to work,
some of the toughest men in the in
stitution, without guards He be-
lieves that there is good in every
man, but that severity of treatment
will not develop it.
The most excellent results have
followed this humane treatment of
the prisoners. A better grade of
work is being done in every depart
ment Of the Institution. The pris-
oners are cheerful and; obedi-
ent. The expenses of the institution
have been cat down considerably.
But haven't a lot of these men es-
capped? Some have. yes. But the
moment a prisoner abuses any privi-
Elege granted him he is put into a cell
and locked up. That ends his privi-
.leges. During this year three men
have escaped from prison under the
West system, against 20 who ESCAPED
lest year under the Winchester sys-
TEN.
