EUevy Prison Official To
Go Under Inquiry Fire

ever, Attorney General McReynolds
had written brusquely to Warden
Meyer stating that "A conclusive reply
to Hawthorne's charges is desirable,
This is taken to imply the promise
OF an investigation.
To outward appearances the prison
is remarkable Every prisoner has
work To do, most Of which is some
form of manual labor There is the
stone cutters shop, the tailors' shop.
the laundry, the storeroom, the farm
the carpenters shop, the bakery, in
all of which there are prisoners at
work.
Behind the group Of buildings. bor-
dering on the recreation ground is
model camp for tuberculosis patients.
Near by is a plant in which soap is
manufactured from the waste prod
ucts of the shops and kitchen Every
thing is operated on the basis Of strict
economy
The prison within the walls bears
the appearance of considerable in
dustrial community. A line of rail-
road tracks runs into the prison
grounds, and a string of freight cars
is always there. The plant in which
the electricity is generated for light
and power is always running, and the
Atlanta Federal Peuitentiary appears
to the visitor as a well-ordered en-
terprise.
But Hawthorne'S aCCusati ion is made
against the spirit in which the pris-
oners are treated, and he alleges that
too little regard is given the indi-
vidual and too much regard is placed
on appearances. An these things the
investigation will sift.

in either branch of congress assaulting
the character and purposes o. private

in the nature Of a reckless exercise OF
important constitutional power"
When a democratic congressman
from the west opened up in the tariff
debate in favor of free wool, his posi-
ton could not help but be noticeable.
Representative Ferguson of New
Mexico, stated in his tariff speech that
he had 1.-THE hope, almost amounting to
absolute belief, that free wool be bet
ter for my state and for wool growers
everywhere in u country than pres
ent conditions under the sway of the
private monopoly on wool" In sup
port of this he added: Remember
the case of hides. The cattle industry
was alarmed some years ago when the
tariff on hides a removed. But
since hides were placed on the free
list they have sold at a higher price
than when they were protected
Hides and leather are a world com
modify, subject to the world demand,
because they are a worldwide neces-
sity."

REGENTS WILL REFEREND

Just at the present time the most
widely discussed subject in South Da.
kota seems to be confined to the recent
action of the state board Of regents
in referending the enactment by the
state legislature at it's last session
whereby a second state university was
established at Aberdeen.
The controversy which has been
going on for the past ten or twelve
years relative to the coul ses of study
to be used In the state normal schools
eliminated last February when senate
bill SO, commonly titled "The Aber,
deem Course of Study Bill" because a
law, establishing a course of study at
the Northern Normal and Industrial
school equivalent to tho first two
years OF q college course. Provisions
had been made two years ago by legis-
lative enactments as to the right OF
state normal schools to confine their
courses to the administration of only
such courses of study as will properly
and effectil ely equip the young men
and women OF the state for following
the profession of teaching in the com,
mon schools of South Dakota. The
law SliOulu ulSCOuTdSc any dIJtllpI Ou
the part Of state normal schools to
compete with the colleges and higher
institutions Of learning by offering a
course in the liberal arts and sciences
and the allied branches of learning.
The enactment Of senate bill So es-
tablished a second state university,
Aberdeen had sent a delegation OF
lobbyists to the state legislature, and
despite the objection Of the board OF
regents and the existing law, regulat
ing and defining the branches to be
taught In the normal schools of the
state, the bill was rushed through.
Now the regents will referend the law
which action will postpone the crea-
ton Of a second university for two
years, or until the voters Of the state
have declared by their ballots whether
or not South Dakota really needs two
state universities. Should the law meet
with favor at the hands of the voters
the pathway will be paved for other
state schools to establish like courses

RETROSPECTIVE

This week the Register commences
Volume 32, and we will perhaps be
pardoned for going back a little into
the history of one OF the oldest bust
ness institutions in B~rookings.
The Register was born in June, 1890,
In the little building on Main street
now occupied by the Moore Racket
store. The publication was started by
Paul butcher and G. n. Breed, under
the firm name of butcher & Breed.
In 1892 the firm purchased and con-
~solidated with the Register the Brook
ings Sentinel, which had been publish
ed by Whiting Bros, for ten or twelve
years previously. In January 1906,
they purchased the plant and sub
scription list of the Brookings Indi-
vidual then published by H.H. Korstad.
In February, 1906 the business was
incorporated under the name OF the
Register Publishing Company and the
plant considerably enlarged for the
publication of the Minnesota and Da-
kota Farmer. The history of this pub
LEGATION, as far as Brookings Is con-
cerned, was brief but brilliant, it's rapid
growth attracting the attention Of the
Orange Judd Company, who absorbed
1t In October, 1910, at a good price.
The paper was removed to Minneap-
oils and Is now being published under
the name Of the Northwest Earmstead.
The growth Of the Register has been
steady and substantial, keeping pace
with the progress of the city and coun
ty 1t has always labored to upbuild,
and today 1t has one of the best print
ing plants in eastern South Dakota. 1t
has always endeavored to provide it's
readers with clean readable local
news, and it's large circulation and
splendid advertising patronage speaks
volumes for its popularity. We be-
lieve we can say, without being egot'<.
teal, that the Register takes rank
among the best weeklies Of the state.
Mr. butcher, who is still at the helm,
Is one of the Oldest newspaper men in
the state In point of continuous SER
vice. He established the Raymond
Gazette at Raymond, Clark county, in
1884, and with the exception of about
six months spent with the Aberdeen
Daily News in 1889, he has been con-
tinuously in the harness.

DR.. HUME TALKS

"A permanent, successful farmer is
an asset. An unsuccessful, dissatisfied
one is a liability" said ~Agronomist, A.
n. Hume before the meeting of group
No. s, Of the South Dakota Bankers
Association at Lake Preston last week.
Better farming implies two things:
% Bigger financial returns, (2) Per,
manent welfare and better citizenship
of the farms Of South Dakota. In
order to get greater financial returns
from land mor intelligent farming
must be accomplished. Intelligent
farmers"
DR.. Hume continued by stating that
a farmer must have a definite know,
ledge of conditions under which he is
TO work. He must have reliable in,
formation concerning the relation be-
tween crops and the soil and climate
of his w locality. This information
should come from the agricultural col.
leges and experiment stations and
should be accessible to every farmer
This means that the state should con
duct a state soil survey which will add
all the time to it's stock Of accurate
knowledge about farming conditions.
A state appropriation should be made
to enable the Agronomy Department
of the college to make a survey of
South Dakota soils with the view OF
improving the permanent agriculture
of the state.
1T is an unalterable conclusion"
he said, that in order for South Da.
kota to continue long as a prosperous
state, its great body of farmers must
desist from despoiling the land" They
must know the land, study it and know
how to handle it. For instance it is
possible to reduce the nitrogen content
of South Dakota soils below the limit
of profitable production. 1t is possible
to do this in the very near future"
DR.. Hume's address before the bankers
was an eloquent plea for a permanent
agriculture, wsich is the only sort that
can make South Dakota continue pros
porous as a farming state.
