CITIES CONSPIRING TO

New York, Jan. "a - Big cities
conspire to ruin their youth is the
startling statement made by James
Bronson Reynolds, now an assist
ant district attorney in New York
city.
He knows whereof he speaks. He
has studied the great problems of So
cial reform in Europe and at home.
When he returned from foreign
study to the United States in 1898,
he became head worker In the Uni

house committee appointed later by
Colonel Roosevelt, then governor of
New York state. Later, after act
ing as secretary to Mayor Low, Mr.
Reynolds became special adviser on
municipal affairs at the national cap
i:al during Colonel Roosevelt's pres
idential term.
Recently he has been one of the
CHEF workers in the great crusade
in support of the Mann act and is at
present an assistant district attor-
nCy, especially in charge Of prose
cutions growing out of this reform
impulse.
Mr.. Reynolds speaks only of con-
ditions as they exist in New York
but his views are applicable to any
! large city in the United States.
Nine counts are mentioned in Mr.

the victims of the Moloch of the
town.
New York's reception Of the coun-
try boy-or girl is heartless; it's treat
ment Of them hard; its frequent vic
tory over what is good In them in
evitable.
The cheap boarding house supplies
little social life; the saloon gets
many of the homeless lads, and the
street a multitude of girls whose
loneliness in great crowd has
forced them to it for relief.
The influence Of moving picture
shows. both good and bad, is far
better than some other influences.
There are more young men in the
saloons each Saturday night than are
found in the city's churches on Sun
day.
THE movement to combat the evil
influences of the cities has progressed
rapidly" Mr.. Reynolds said.
For instance, in it's first decade
35 states in the union have passed
laws aimed at the traffic in young
girls, the national government has
passed two laws on the subject which
had never in the past been taken up
at Washington and for the first time

SEEK LOWER RATES

One of the moves of the executive
committee of the Northwestern De-
velopment league is toward securing
a lower homeseekers rate for the
northwest for the coming year. A
subcommittee was appointed to look
into this factor of northwestern de-
yelopment. 1t all the roads operat-
ing into the northwest would be will
ing to make such rates as has been
offered by the Minneapolis and ST.
Louis road the past season, there
would be no need for asking for any
thing more favorable. But the other
roads operating in the northwest do
not apparently care to get down to
the rate made by that road on special
land excursions, and this is one of the
causes Of the protest in regard to the
privileges which are to besecared by

The defendant offered no defense but
moved that the case be dismissed be-
cause of lack of evidence. merely
calling attention to the fact that In
spector Wood had felt sure that the
writing of Ripley, the mail carrier

the same as in the letters. The mo-

HARMONY ON THE WAY

Endorsement of any portion of . state
ticket, simply organizing for the
booming of the Taft move In South

convention, which they will submit
to the voters at the June primary.
While number of candidates for diff
ferent places on the state ticket were
in attendance at the meeting at Hur-
on, there was another list which made
it point not to be present on that
occasion, and who will very likely be
on hand at the Sioux Falls meeting
next week, or possibly will "shy" at 3

The meeting at Sioux Falls next
week, which has - It's primary pur-
pose the selection Of 3 list of names
for delegates to the convention to be
submitted to the voters at the pri-
mary, is expected to take just the
position which the Huron meeting
did in regard to endorsement Of any
one as part Of the state ticket
There will no doubt be some enthuai-
asts at Sioux Falls. as there were at
Huron, who will want to line up back
of . ticket. but the conservatives
have the situation we'll in hand so
far, and it is not likely that they will
let it get away from them at Sioux
Falls, leaving the fight to Taft and
anti Taft on the national situation in
this state, with the state ticket left
out of the controversy.
