THIRD TERM
Lewis Carter Enters State Peniten-
tiary for n Third Term.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 30.-In less than
three days after he surrendered him
self to police at Sioux City and con-
fessed 10 committing forgery in this
city which had not been discovered.
Lewis Carter began the serving of a
prison sentence of five years. This is
the third time that he has been an
inmate of the local ~penitentiary. He
served one term for burglary and
one for forgery.
Last Friday night while he was at
a motion picture show in Sioux City
he saw pictures of how detectives
trace criminals and fearing that he
would be caught he went TO the Sioux
City police and surrendered declaring
that he had induced VIM. Tate. a
Sioux Falls saloon keeper, TO cash a
check for $35 to which he had forged
the name of a Canton hotel proprie-
tor. Inquiries here brought out the
fact that Tate had cashed the check
and later inquiries at Canton proved
that the name of the hotel man had
been forged. A deputy sheriff was
sent for Carter and brought him back
to the city. Carter pleaded guilty to
second degree forgery and received
the statutory sentence of five years
Imprisonment.

TAFT OPPOSED DRY LAW
Former President Declares Such ;
Step Would Destroy Local
Self Government.

Boston, Mass. Dec. 30.-"National
prohibition is a dangerous PROPOSE
tion." said former President William
III. Taft, speaking before the Bar AS
ISOLATION of Boston at its seventeenth
triennial banquet.
1T would revolutionize the nation
al government. 1t would put on the
shoulders of the government the duty
of sweeping the doorsteps of every
home in the land. If national pro-
hibition legislation is passed local
government would be destroyed. And
if you destroy local government you
destroy n of the things that go to
make for a healthy condition of the
national government.
National prohibition is ~nonenforc-
ible; it is a confession on the part of
state governments of inability TO con
troll and regulate their w especial
business and duty; IL the matter
were placed under federal control it
would result in creation of a machin-
cry of governmental officials large
enough to nominate any president.
and would offer too great an oppor-
tunity to persons seeking to perpet-
uate their power in Washington"

of Sioux Falls, will be elected speak
er of the lower house of the state

Falls. He has been a resident of
Sioux Falls and Minnehaha county
since 1880. He has been a member
of the board of education OF Sioux
Falls since 1908 and served as pres
ident of the board. His record on
the board has been distinguished by
faithful attention to the important
duties of the position. He was elect
ed a member of the lower house of
the state legislature at the general
lection in 1912, and at the general
election in November of this year he
was reelected by one of the largest
votes last for a candidate in the
