HOTEL REGULATIONS LIKELY TO
COVER ALL HOTELS OF
STATE

Pierre, S. D.-House Bill no.,
which seeks TO amend the law in re
gard to hotel inspection called out
so much discussion as to its proper
scope, in the meeting of the commit
tee OF the whole of the house that
1t was put owe to a future date for
final action. The amendments are
intended to strengthen the work of
the inspector, and place more
stringent requirements upon the
keepers of hotels. One of the main
issues was as to whether the act
as drawn applied to all hotels of
the state, or merely those in towns
of a certain Gle ; The general sen
timent expressed by house members
was to the effect that the provisions
sought to be incorporated should APP
ply to all hotels in towns of all sizes.
One of the changes seeks to make
the orders of the hotel inspector
carry the power of law, if they have
been endorsed by the attorney gen.
eral. and are not in conflict with my
existing statute. Another provision
places the source of water supply of
hotels under inspection as we'll as the
buildigns themselves. Another pro-
hibits the use of the roller towel, the
common comb and brush, and COM
mon drinking cup in all hotels of the
state. Another is that all bedding
and carpets must be kept cleaned and
aired so as to be sanitary. and the
old law erquiring efforts" on the
part of the hotel man to eXtermipate
vermin, is made a compulsory pro-
vision in the amendments.
T1n icct,n of ,~1l; -. - q .4-A-
institutions is far from dead, and is
likely to come out into the open at
any time on some of the institutions.
One feature proposed as an economy
measure is that the school of mines
and the Speariish Normal school be
consolidated, with another that there
could be consolidation of the deaf
school and the blind school. which
are put up as feasible and measures
of economy, ever though they mean
abandonment of state investments,
and a money loss in the sale of the
structures, as they would reduce ap-
preparations by reducing the expen-
ses OF the maintenance of two separ-
ate institutions.
Weller Would Cut OFF Tuitions
Representative Weller has pre-
sented a little repeating act in the
house which on its face proposes re-
gulation of tuition in state educa-
tional institutions, the real feature
of which S to cut out the statute
which allows a member of the legis-
lature to favor some of his consti-
tuents with free tuition at such in
situations, the holding of Weller be-
ing that there is no logical reason
why a legislative member should be
granted this favor at the expense of
the people of the state generally.
The farmers of the house them
selves Saturday evening placed a fin
al finish on the bill to grant any adj
d%itional appropriation for farmers in
stitute work, other than that of the
appropriation made for he year at the
session OF two years ago, and the
work will stop this year about the
first of March for lack of funds to
continue it.
Senator Browne, of Brown, has
been confined to his room for several

TOLD OF / S
EARTHQUAKE FEAR
EVANGELIST EXPLAINS THAT
GREAT CALAMITY NECES-
SARY TO MAKE SOME
PEOPLE REALIZE

Monday night at the First Meth
odist church, DR.. j. w. Mahood, the
evangelist, took some of the expert
ences he had in the midst of the
San Francisco earthquake to illus
trate some great spiritual truths.
His text was, "What shall | do to
be saved? Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ. He said in the midst
of the quaking foundations of the
earth and the roa of the flames
which made furnaces out of sky
scrapers, with death and destruction
all about almost every face, almost
every eye as we'll as thousands of
voices were asking the question,
What shall l do to be saved?'
PITY" exclaimed the preacher,
that men will wait until they are
surrounded by overwhelming cal
amity to ask that question" He
said lit was the earthquake at Phil
lipi which brought this same ques-
ton from the jailer, what shall | do
to be saved?" DR.. Manhood said
three things were involved in sal
walton. First, a mar must be sorry
for h sin Of the past and turn from
it. No man believes on Christ and
is saved from his sin who will not
do this. Second, he must confess
his sim. There never have. been
successful secret disciples! If We
confess me before men l will confess
you before the Father. "Confes-
sion of sin implies making wrong
things right as far as possible.
"A man was seeking pardon night
after night and got no where. one
morning his wife saw him &C out to
an old dry we'll. He went down in
to it and soon was throwing out
s%hovels, chains, forks and other
things which he had stolen from his
neighbors. He took these back
asking his neighbors forgiveness and
then God forgave him also. Sal
Walton also implies faith. Faith
that God will do exactly what he
says he will do. Salvation is not
an act of feeling it is an act of
faith. Get saved first and you will
get all the feeling of joy and peace
that you need"
Twenty-Five came forward last
night. The evangelist briefly ex-
planned the simple way of entering
the Christian life and most of these
made their start last night. The
attendance was the largest yet of
my weekday service. Many of the
Sunday school classes attended in
bodies and sat with their teachers.
The chorus composed of more than
fifty young people and assisted by
a number of young men with violins
and horns lead the singing SPLEEN

MUST TRAINING SCHOOL TAKE
BACK ITS OLD NAME.

Pierre, S. D.-A constitutional is
sue was raised in the house Satur-
day evening over a bill to appro-
pirate money for equipment at the
state ''reform school, or training
school as it is known by the legisla-
ture since 1907, when the name was
changed by the provisions OF Chapter
222 of that session. While the issue
was raised by Bielski that the bill
attempted TO carry both an emery
| ency appropriation. and a deficiency
appropriation in the same measure,
March of Hughes also raised the
point that so long as the constitu-
ton in section l of Article XIV, gives
that institution the name og Reform
School, there might be a constittu-
tional question raised as to validity
OF an appropriation for the State
Training School. On the issues rails
ed the bill Went back to the judiciary
committee for further consideration
before it was finally acted upon.
This brought up further coming
of the section of the constitution re-
tered to. and raises another ques-
ton. That section defines the char
table and penal institutions OF the
SldteS DIS. ~ peulteHtldiS, iiSdiiS
hospital. a school for the deaf and
dumb. a school forthe blind, and a
reform school, This raises the is
sue as to the constitutionality of
any other charitable or penal insti-
tuition without change in the provls-
ions of this section of the constitu-
ton and ii such should be the hold
ing it would place a stumbling block
in the way of the location of the
proposed insane hospital in the north
eastern part of the state at Water
town, or another in the Black Hills
sectionrof the state. to be known as
the Western Hospital, and which is
being considered as a matter to pre-
sent to the present session.
To Curb Pardons
l.. Now that each house has passed
an act repeating the provisions of the
South Dakota statutes in relation to
capital punishment. the opponents of
the repeal are preparing a bill to
regulate the granting of pardons to
persons convicted OF murder in this
state, providing such regulations as
to practically prohibit a pardon I'M
less positive proof of innocence can
can be shown after the trial. This
could only limit the powers of the
governor through an act limiting the
power of the pardon board of the
state, as the governor is given full
pardoning power, but by a proviso
this power on his part is limited ex-
cept in cases OF sentence of two years
or less. Any offender with a greater
punishment than a two year sentence
must first secure a recommendation
of the state pardon board before eN-
ecutive clemency ear be granted. and
the work of this board is specifically
made subject TO legislative regula-
ton.
The bill TO authorize the state fire
marshals to enter and examine and
condemn buildings which are consid-
cred to be a fra menace to cities and
towns met overwhelming defeat in

tions which were raised TO the bill

SIX WEEKS OF
WINTER AHEAD
THAT is. If YOU BELIEVE THE
OLD GROUND-HOG THEORY
ON THE WEATHER.
From TUESDAYS Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
AS a matter of record, no one
has ever seen a ground-hog emerge
from his winter quarters when once
he has commenced his annual hiber-
nation. But if the reader happens TO
retain a little of the old myth, he
may have the satisfaction of be-
lieving that winter will persist for
six long and chilly weeks.
There was no doubt that the
grounding, woodchuck or American
marmot. whatever, he is called, could
have e his shadow had he made
his appearance around Mitchell to-
day. After hiding behind the clouds
all morning, the sun came out by
noon in full glare and started on the
task OF melting down the snow that
had accumulated in the snowstorm
of Saturday and Sunday lights.
The belief thta cloudy weather to.
day means that the grounding can
terminate his winter nap appears To
be based on the fact that clear
February is generally followed by
severe weather and a late and
changeable spring. In Germany the
badger bills the bill of the wood
chuck as a weather forecaster. in
the scandinavian countries, the bear.
in England, the hedgehog and in
France and Switzerland, the mar
mot.
The day appears in the church
calendar as Candlemans day. pope
Sergius is said to have originated OBJ
servance of the day. 1t has beea as
serted by scholars that the modern
legend is a descendant of a Roman
custom. The Romans. by sacrifices
and penances. squared themselves
with their gods on February 1. Feb
ruary was the last month of the
Roman calendar.
The name Candlemans is supposed
to have been given the day from the
fact that on hal day candles were
given to the priests by the people.
The priests blessed the candles and
they were returned. If burned in
the homes or kept near the people
they were believed to guard against
evil spirits.
Many customs mark the day in
various parts of the country. In Scot
land the day is usually one for the
payment of all taxes. In England it
is set aside as a legal holiday and

in the house, and as. the senate is fa-
vorable to the bill, the house will get
another opportunity to act on the
measure al an early date. The bill
is urged by the state insurance de-
partment on the grounds hat it is
the fire menace of old buildings which
forces up the insurance rate in the
cities and towns of the state here
such buildings are allowed to remain
in the BUSINESS sections, n thai
| proper supervision would materially
lower the rate in most towns of the
state.
The heads of the various state IN
situations are coming in to look after
legislation affecting the institutions
under their charge. Among those in
at present are DR.. l.. c.. Meade. of
the state insane hospital at Yank-
ton; X. l.. Slagle. President of the
State University at Nermillion; and
+. c. Perisho, head of the State col
lege of agriculture at Brookings,
who are all interested in matters be-
fore the legislature.
Wants to Use Government Aid
President Perisho of the agricul-
tural college is very much interested
in agricultural extension work under
the provisions of the Smith-Lever
Act, and desires hat the legislature
make the proper appropriations to
take complete advantage of the pro-
visions OF the Act. The state, under
the provisions of that art gets from
the National government Ten Thou
sand dollars a year for field work
in agriculture and household eco
Monies. In addition to this they get
from the government an additional
Five Thousand Dollars each year for
a period of seven years. bringing
the total government amount to the
state seven years from now up to
Forty-Fiv Thousand Dollars a yea
but to secure this the legislature
must appropriate an equal amount
for each year, less the Ten Thousand
Dollars which comes to the state re-
CARELESS of any state appropriation.
\ bin has been prepared and will
be introduced to take care of the
appropriation required for the next
biennial period, and it is in this
