8 VICTIMS FOR DEATH
 CHAIR IN ONE DAY
Wholesale Execution at Sing Sing this Week; 154
 Have Paid Penalty in
 State in 27 Years q

NEW YORK. Aug. 10:-Twenty-two years ago this week, on August G. 1890, William KemmleT, a condemned murderer, was put to death in the electric chair in Auburn prison Kem- mler was the first victim to be legal ly executed by electricity in the Unit ed States and his case was the sub ject of wide discussion at the time The action of New York in substitut- ing the electric chair for the gallows has been found generally satisfact. ory and her example has been fol lowed by Ohio. Virginia, South Caro- lima, Massachusetts, Kentucky and New Jersey. =
 Since the execution of Kemmler there have been 1j4 persons put to death in the electric chair in New York. The state prison authorities estimate that 1t costs about S4O0O per individual to carry out the capital punishment mandate. On the basis of this estimate New York state has expended about S65.O00 for electro eHtiOns since that form of inflicting the death penalty was introduced.
 Several times the electric chair at Sing Sing has had two victims in one day, and on one occasion a short time ago three persons were put to death within a period of twenty-four hours. But never before has there been such a wholesale execution Of death sentences imposed on prison CTS in this state as is scheduled 10 take place at Sing Sing next week. Nine men are to die on the same day, and in as rapid succession as they can be led to the death chair. Six of the nine prospective victims are the Italians who were convicted of the atrocious murder of Mrs. Mary
 Hall at Croton Lakd Westchester County, on Nov. 9, 1911.

That Seed Wheat Matter

Elsewhere in this paper is an adj
vertisement from O. r. Webb, who
feels agrieved over the seed grain
handled through the County Com
missioners. Mr. Webb is a business
man of Beaver Dam, Wis. He owns
land in Florence township, and is
cropping 1T this spring. The PRESS
does not know what the quality of
seed grain was obtained by others,
but it is fair to say that what we
got for our own use appeared to be
excellent seed.
The gentleman is mistaken
in other particulars rs. The
Commissioners did not guarantee
any particular kind of seed, good"
being merely the presumption.
They simply lent their official
agreement to distribute the wheat
for the purpose of getting it ship
ped in freight free. The law would
not permit railroads to ship free to
one individual and charge another
for freight. The purchase and sale
of the wheat was done through
Superintendent Wilson and county
banks, and none of the commission
ers had anything to do with it.
However, we opine that Manager
Wilson is fully capable Of looking
after his side of the question.

Mothers Day. is Nav 18th

In an article in the May Woman's
Home Companion entitled ITO Cele-
brate Mothers Day., Margaret E.
Sangster states the facts of the cele-
bration as follows:
1.-The second Sunday in May has
in recent years had the distinction
of being Mothers Day. Services
in honor of the mother, and in re-
cognition of her faithfulness, gentle
ness. and devotion to the home, are
held in many of the churches. and IN
most of the Sunday schools. The
white carnation has been selected as
the flower to he worn on the cor
sage, belt, or coat lapel on Mothers
Day. No flower of the garden or
field could be a happier choice than
this to be worn as Mothers own
flower. Pure as the drifted snow,
spicy and fragrant, and possessing q
lasting quality beyond that of lily or
rose, the white carnation stands FOR
all that mother is to the family and
the race.

Hans County Commission

Miller, S. d.. April %.
The Hand County Commission.
through their great magnamintv
furnished seed gram to the farmers
of Hand county which was full Of
all kinds of foul seed, and not true
to name. The grain cost from four
to eight cents a bushel above the
Minneapolis market, the railroad
furnishing free transportation. The
grain should of been delivered in
January when price and quality
could of been taken advantage of,
and prevented farms from hauling
through mud hub deep. The eleva-
tors were preparing to furnish seed
early in season, which at least would
been free from foul seed. but aban-
doned the project when the commits
sion announced their intention of
furnishing same. The majority Of
farmers do not have the facilities
for cleaning or separating foul seed
the sewing Of this seed is a calamity
to Hand county which car not be
eradicated for years.
We do not challenge the motive
of the commission, but they show
gross incompetence. The farmers
of Hand county had a right to ex-
pect fair treatment. Did they re-
ceive it?
The county. state and nation need
men of ability without mercenary
motives-men who at all times look
for the best interest Of the people.
We hope in the future the Hand
county farmers will not be subject
ed to the tender mercies OF a COM
mission of that stamp. advertise
ment.

Partial Democratic Ticket

The democratic conference held in
Miller Saturday was not very large
ly attended. Among other things,
the bosses put up a partial ticket
for county offices. Those demo-
cratic fellows are clever. and are
playing the game twelve months in
the year. Perhaps this is due to
the fact that they are in the minor
ity, to whom the price of a ''look
in is eternal vigilance.
Their ticket so far is said to be
arranged thus:
Senator-Judge Cummins. High

Representatives. M. King.
Treasurer. C. Wilson.

pears in this paper. This is the
new method of publicity in use
wherever the primary is employed
to select candidates. In time il
will be extended to all elections.
The. old party organ is rapidly dis
appearing from the newspaper
field, and advertising space is beng
paid for just as a merchant is paid
for his goods. This is right and
proper, and will make more indie
pendent newspapers, whose editorial
opinions will be sincere and honest,

through political pull or obligations.
