DEATH PENALTY
Is ABOLISHED
Senate Follows Lead of House in
Voting to Abolish Capital
Punishment In 8. D.

Pierre, Feby Abolition of CAPT
tai punishment in South Dakota was
accomplished at $50 Saturday nigh,
when the senate passed the Beebe bill
to that effect. ~2l-18-one vote more
than the required majority of al
senator's elect-following three
hours of the most fervent oratory
for many a session.
The house adjourned to hear the
debate and standing room was at
premium in the gallery. The prin.
cipal speakers for the bill were Bee.
be. Whittemore, Mclean, Stephens.
Waters, Lundey, and Hagen. Those
who spoke In opposition were Peck
ham. Daley, TanDemark. Hayes,
and Lincoln.
Senator NJ. Pin beebe opened the
discussion. Abolition of capital
punishment does deter murder
was the KEYNOTE of the argument.
Capital punishment is class legisla.
ton" The poor man has counsel
appointed by the court at a $50
stipend for the case, which is ne
elected and he hangs. The guilty
rich man employs the best legal aid
possible. he is acquitted, or if con.
victed. pardoned in due course.
Stephens Al a lawyer called law a
backward science, ever looking to
precedent which unnecessarily fet-
tered US to the past. THE aboli-
ton of capital punishment will
strike from our limbs the shackles of
barbarism."
The English experience of reduc.
ton of crime with lightened punish
ment was traced. Of the 81 pardons
in South Dakota not one has gone
back to q life of CRIME. There are
fewer lynchings in states without
the bad example
Hagen characterized Governor
Frank M. Bvrne as a strong man on
the right side of an unpopular cause.
Courts make mistakes. Every law
yer knows he looses when he should
have won; wins when he should have
lost. We would abolish prize fights.
chicken fights and bull fights be.
cause Of their bad physchic effect on
humanity-why not abolish the more
awful example of enforcing the
death penalty.

RUSSIA'S BATTLE
LINE 1900 MILES
Austros0erman Forces Move on
Enemy in Carpathians

London. Feb. THE end of six
months of Europe's great war finds
the armies of the belligerent nations
completing preparations for a new
series of operations, or actually en-
gagged in campaigns, the extent of
which was hardly anticipated when
the declarations of hostilities we're
made. In Flanders. France and
central Poland a deadlock still exists
but largely because of Russia's tire.
fnendous resources and the action of
Turkey, the sphere of operations has
been widely extended.
Russia alone is engaged in fight
ing hostile armies from Tilsit, far in
the north of East Prussia. to Tabriz
In Persia. a distance of over l,5OO
miles. Only that portion of her
territory bordering on Roumania is
free from menace. but according to
her reports all is going well with
her immense armies. The Russians
outfanking movements in northern
East Prussia are said to be gaming
momentum. The armies on the
east side of Tllsit have cut the Ger
man railway between that city and
Memel on the Baltic.
What is regarded as most lmpor-
tant campaign, however, is that
which is developing in the Carpath-
ians, brought about by the Austro-
German offensive, designed to drive
the Russians from Galicia and Buko-
wilma, thereby removing the menace
OF an invasion of Hungary. The
Austro-G German allies are said to
have concentrated no less than %
army corps on this venture. So far
as Can be gathered from contradIc.
tory reports the Russians have won
preliminary skirmishes in the west
ern passes from Dukla to Wiszkow,
while to the east they have been
forced to retire before superior
forces. The battles which are being
fought in the snow are just COM
mencing, however, and MANY days
must pass before a definite decision
is reached.

YOU CAN'T LIVE
FOR SELF ALONE
Public Utilities Belong TO All
Citizens Alike

Shall | not take mine ease in
mine own Inn?
Certainly but not at the expense
Of your neighbors rights and privi-
leges. And this brings us to the
question of living together under a
community government which must
be conducted upon a definite system
to protect the rights of all citizens
alike, and to distribute the COM
forts and privileges of such COM
munlty as nearly equal as human
ingenuity may devise.
And this. again, brings us to our
living In the little city of Miller, and
a current matter of city interest,
City Marshall Wilson, who also
has charge of the city street de-
partment, is notifying property ow-
ners OF the fact that one Of the gov
ermental requirements in a free de
livery town Is to keep the sidewalks
cleared Of snow. There were only
two towns in the state to secure the
free delivery of mails under the re-
cent experimental order of extend
ing the system to smaller cities.
One Is Miller and the other Gregory.
1t may be noted here that each
step OF progress REFUSES a little
more care of the things which af-
feet community life. AS we acquire
the corveniences and comforts of
city life, Nc lose the individual in
dependence of country or village
life, And it is right that we should.
To manage affairs for the benefit of
a community, fairly and honestly
without favor, all utilities must be
conducted with definite system.
And al soen a definite system is ap-
piled to streets and alleys, to water
supply, light supply, sewers, tele-
phones, sidewalks ETC.. all must
comLl, with thai system likewise
the free delivery of mail must be
conducted upon the system land
down by the government postal de
partment. supposed to be one of
mans most highly systematized af
fairs get established.
In other words, if one resides in a
city-any city-one can't live for
self alone. regardless of all Others,
because many things one needs and
enjoys are shared in common by all
citizens.
And is it not a pleasurabIe and
commendable pride to realize that
the little city of Miller has so many
of the public conveniences of a
modern city? Many old towns
back east with several times
Miller's population have less of the
things that add to the comfort and
pleasure of living.

Limited Woman Suffrage

There are at present bills before
the legislature, one in each house,
that seek to confir upon women the
privilege of voting for all officers
not named in the constitution.
Should one of these measures be-
come a law the women of South
Dakota will have the privilege of
voting for such state. county. town
ship and municipal officers as are
authorized by state legislation apart
from the constitution and on all
matters relating to local govern
ment.
Such is the provision OF the suf-
frage law in IlIir 5. After they
have exercised the right of limited
franchise for a time it is quite safe
to say that full suffrage is sure to
follow.

DAIRY INCREASES
FARM PRODUCTS
DairyiDg More Certain Than
Wheat Farming Says Prof.
Larson Of State College

1t is conservative to state that ar
average good cow will change three
tons of hay AMI one ton Of grain into
300 pounds of butter. $500 pounds
of skim milk, one calf and SIX tons
OF manure during about eight
months. Granting that the ski
milk, the calf and manure paw for
all the work, the 300 pounds of but.
ter is the pay for the feed. This
butter produced during the winter
will bring an income of about $50.
The three tons Of hay and one ton
of grain would have to sell ut q
pretty high price to bring any such
income. Twenty dollars for the one
ton Of grain and S24 for the three
tons Of hay, or a total Of $44, are
considered to be about what this
feed would bring on the market.
According to investigation a dairy
COW will recover for human food
about rs per cent of the dry digest
ible matter consumed; a hog about
Is per cent: and a steer about 3 per
cent. This. together with the fact
that a good dairy COW will return 50
worth of produce for every 81 worth
of feed consumed. should cause far.
mers working expensive land and
raising expensive feeds to carefully
study the various phases of the work
of the dairy COW.
The profits Of a dairy COW can be
anticipated and realized with a
greater degree of surety than in any
other n phase of farming. A ma
ture crop of grain and a high price
for the same may be anticipated,
but seasons and conditions of market
may be unfavorable. Feed for cows
and a good, steady market, are as
sure as anything can be in this world
Of production.
The returns are also quick. The
feed may be fed to the COW and the
product realized on, even during the
same day. This avoids credits at
The store and in the banks. The
1alryman is independent and is able
pay. his debts as fast as he con-
tracts them.
