MEASURE
MEETS ENCOURAGEMENT

Pierre, s. D., Feb. 7.-An effort to
reduce the number of criminals and
imbec1les obtained through the cham
nels of heredity is involved in a meas
ure now in preparation, and which will
be introduced in the house. The bill
is patterned after a recommendation
submitted by George n. Fulford and
A. w. Hyde. acting as committee for.
the State Medical association.
1t is prescribed to be the duty OF
the officials of every state institution
to examine carefully into the condition
of every confirmed criminal, idiot,
rapist and imbecile and ascertain
whether such condition is incurable. II
the condition is decided to be perma-
nent the officials are charged with the
duty OF an operation.
Such proposal was before the house
four years ago and one OF the members
sought to have the bill considered in
executive session. 1t was discovered
that the senate only had sthe power to
hold these star chamber "doings'' and
the right was even denied of having
the galleries cleared.
There was a large number of women
in the galleries and all Of them sat
through the discussion, in spite of the
notice involved In the attempt to make
the hearing secret. Although the JUS
tice and propriety of the measure was
advocated by many physicians and lay
men, the house voted down the bill

MORAL sTANDARDsr FOR

tention. The superintendent Of the
home is vested with special power in
the matter Of passing on applications
and good moral character" is made a
necessary qualification. Another new
feature read into the existing law on
the subject is that the superintendent
is given power to expel any inmate
who uses intoxicating liquor in any
form.
similar measure is pending as a
senate bill but when it came up for ac-
ton some discussion was precipitated
and the measure was referred back to
the committee. Senator Howe, Of
Minnehaha county, voiced the senti-
ment of many members when he de-
clared that amy old soldier who has an

Bile to admission without regard to the
personal prejudices of the Superintend-
ent of the institution
The senate committee eliminated the
restrictions as to good moral charac-
tier and Intoxicating liquors. but the
author of the bill, Senator j. w Harris,
expressed his intention to make fight
on the floor to have these provisions
lreinstated.
f. Standard Of Weights.
A measure of more than ordinary
importance to the farmers of the state
is one adopted by the senate fixing
standard of weights and measures and
providing a penalty for diviation from
the established schedule. On account
of the absence Of strict provisions on
this point the grain dealers in South
Dakota have taken various liberties
with the accepted standards and thus,
IN many instances, covered up what
would amount to an actual reduction
in the prices paid for products.
Senator Daley, who introduced the
bill and who explained Its import when
the measure was up for action, cited
market conditions in various parts OF
the state to show the necessity of such
| only grain on which grade tests have
been employed to fix the market value.
and the elevator men, as a rule, have
been taking extra weight on corn,
oats. barley and other grains just on
general principles. so Mr.. Daley states.
1t was something of an accurate po-
litical lineup that was presented in the
house Monday afternoon on the effort
| to reconsider the killing of the Rus
sell resolution, which provided for an
investigation as to the cause OF in
creased expenditures In state affairs.
The vote by which the motion to re-
consider failed was IS to 3S. the minor
| ity showing being a combination Of
democrats and So called stalwarts. The
alignment was very close to the one
that appeared in the house on the first
vote for United States senator.
After refusing to reconsider the Rus
sell resolution, on the theory that it
was merely political move, the house
adopted the Anderson resolution. call

FARMERS INSTITUTE AND
CORN JUDGING CONTEST

Madison, $. D.. Feb. S.-The annual
Farmers institute, which closed here
Thursday. was by far the best ever
held in this county In matter of ex-
hibits. attendance and program no in
stitute ever held in this section can
either equal or approach it. In spite
Of the inclement weather conditions
large numbers of farmers turned out
and materially aided the success of
the meeting. Perhaps no feature of
the institute held as much interest as
the boys corn contest. Large num-
bers OF exhibits as we'll as fine grade
Of corn was seen at this contest.
Arthur Mueller, an 1s-year-old lad,
took the first prize with 10 ears of
white dent corn. All exhibits of corn
ranked high, but the 10 ears submitted
by Mueller We're trifle better than
any others. The success of this CON
test is credited to Prof Loren g.
Atherton, graduate of the University
of Nebraska, who is now dean Of
agriculture in the Madison State Nor
NAL school and Is one Of the best corn
authorities in the northwest.

Pierre. S. D., Feb. 7.-Friendly COM
ment and unfriendly ridicule failed to
beat down the Notifications of the
bunny hug" bill. and the measure
passed the house Wednesday after
noon by a vote of 20 to 80. Several
amendments were presented and de-
clared lost on viva voice vote, in which
all members voted both ways. Some
of the offerings got SO raw in nature
that the period OF recreation was
brought to halt on motion for the
previous question
The bill mentions several of the pop.
ular numbers which are under the ban
in some cities. and extends the provi-
sion to prohibition against all sug-
gestive and immoral dances. The gem
erai belief is that the measure will pass
the senate without much opposition.
Second Finished Work.
The first legislative enactment to
acquire the dignity of a completed law
aside from the woman suffrage resolu-
ton is senate bill number 81 introduced
by Amsden. This measure Is an i'm
portant one in relation to the saloon
question of the state as it practically
prevents any figures except those of
the federal census to apply on the
question OF population in any city.
Attorney General johnson has been
asked for an opinion as to whether the
laws OF the state prohibiting ccnlbina-
tions among bidders on state work can
be invoked with reference to the print
ing situation. He contends that the
meaning Of the statute Is very plain
and that If a combination could be
proven the penalty clause would apply.
