Donation. Contrary to Law.

we'll. For number of years 1t has
been the practice of many counties in
the state to appropriate sums rang
ing from 800 to $500 for the support
Of the home. Recently William H.
Glynn, states attorney for Hutchinson
county raised the point that such an
appropriation would be illegel and he
referred the matter to the attorney
general, who has handed down the fol-
lowing: Section I, article XIII, of the
state constitution, prohibits the state
or any county, township, or municipal
lty from loaning or giving its security
or making donations to or in aid of
any private institution of this kind.
l am aware of the worthiness of this
Institution to receive donations for its
support, but unfortunately the public
funds cannot be donated for private
purpose Of this kind. Under this pro-
vision of the constitution, former At
torney General Pyle, in an opinion
found on page 259 Of the attorney
general report for 1899 and 1900, held
that chapter 60, laws of 1889, authoriz-
ing the donation of rock or stone by
the state penitentiary to this same in
stitution was unconstitutional and
void.

Appeal for wheatless Wednesday.

Appeal for Wheatless Wednesday.
The following appeal to the people
of South Dakota to observe Wednes-
day as wheatless day, each week, was
issued by Charles N. Herreid, federal
food administrator for South Dakota !:
ITO the People of South Dakota: We'd
nesday is wheatless day. Our armies
in Europe, and those of our allies, re-
quire wheat, the staff of life II fam
inc overtakes them, they cannot fight.
America must furnish the wheat. Our
allies must have 22O,O0O.O0O bushels
from the United States. We have only
88,000,000 bushels more than we nor.
mally use each year to give them. This
we can send, but it is not sufficient
We can't send them cornmeal, for II
doesn't keep in shipping. We can't
send them corn, for they haven't the
mills to grind it. We must save the
necessary 132,O00,0OO other bushels Of
wheat. If you observe wheatless day
il you substitute rye bread, corr
bread, barley bread, and other kinds
instead of wheat bread, and if the PEG
pie of the other states do the same
the necessary saving will be accom-
plished. You guard the soldiers ra
ton, and let him attend to the enemy.

Parole of Mrs. Trent
 Causes Unusual Interest

Montgomery July 9-(Specia1.) Governor Henderson's action Saturday in granting a parole to Mrs. c. A. Trent of Jefferson county, who was serving a two-year sentence for per- forming an illegal operation, crea ted unusual interest at the capitol Mon day because the state board of par dons a short time before had by unanimous vote declined to recom- mend clemency. because Mrs. Trent had been in prison only few months and because of the fact that the con- viction had attracted attention among medical men throughout the nation.
 Governor Henderson's reasons for granting the parole. which were entered on the pardon record Monday, were that she had been sentenced for only two years; that she spent IS months in jail before the case was finally af- firmed and because she has spent six months in the penitentiary, thus giv- ing her more than two years behind bars Her parole was requested by a large number of citizens.
 In declining to recommend clemency when the case was brought before them recently. members of the state board of pardons said: 'The petitioner was convicted of abortion and sem tenced on February 6, 1917, to the minimum penalty of two years. From reading the evidence in the file (cour. of appeals sixth division. No. 125) it seems that the petitioner was regu- larly engaged in work of this nature, dispensing prescriptions and perform ing operations to compel abortions and miscarriages. From these facts the minimum penalty of the law does not seem to be excessive and the board cannot recommend an interference with the penalty passed by the court"
 The court of appeals first reversed the case but later recalled the deci- sion and affirmed it. In attempting to support the lower court the attorney generals department prepared a brief quoting attacks made by medical au- thorities on persons engaged in this work.

CLERICAL PARTY IS ALMOST SOLID IN
 ATTACKING SYSTEM

Copenhagen, July 9-A Berlin dispatch to the Fremdemblatt of Hamburg says that the entire clerical party in the Reichstag with the exception of three members voted on Saturday night to support the stand taken by Matthias Erzberger, who made a sensational speech in the secret session of the main committee, attacking the admiralty and pan-Germans as the great obstacles to peace and advocating peace without an- nexations or indemnities and the intro duction of a parliamentary form of gov ernment. This action was taken, the dis patch says, under the presumption that Chancellor Won Bethmann-Ho Hollweg would retire and that a complete change would be made in the political system.
 According to these advices Herr Erz- berger was expected to propose imme- diate adjournment of the Reichstag when the session opened today if no settle ment had been reached by that time. to prevent the chancellor from address ing Parliament as long as the crisis re- mained unsolved.
 The socialists, on the other hand, have suggested the adoption of resolution lHal tHe ftelcHStdB reIuSe 10 adjourn un- til the crisis is definitely settled.
 The correspondent says he has been informed by national-liberals that if the chancellor, as he understands, told the Emperor the crisis was only a flash in the pan and that he would be able to reunite the majority by Monday, he was thoroughly mistaken.
 The correspondent of the Fremenblatt asserts that continuance of the subma- rine campaign was not questioned for the moment in the debate of the main committee. even in the speech of Herr Erzberger. The campaign was discussed merely as factor in the problem of revision of war aims, insofar as it's con sequences affect the general situation.
 The dispatch to the Fremenblatt should be interpreted in the light of the cor respondents view that the chancellor should retire.
 The clerical party is the largest in the Reichstag. Hitherto it has worked with the conservatives in giving the govern ment majority. Any such move as is indicated by the foregoing dispatch would amount to political overturn of the first magnitude This dispatch bears out advices cabled from Berlin on Sat urday that unless all indications failed momentous upheavel was at hand.

RECOMMENDATIONS
 FOR MILITARY CAMP SITE NOT YET MADE
Delegation of Labor Men Is Now in Washington to Urge Advantages of
 Birmingham
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, July 9.-(SpeciaL)- tary Baker today formally notified Sena- tor Underwood that nothing bearing on Birmingham's availability as a site for an additional guard camp had been filed in the war department.
 He added that report regarding Bir- mingham would eventually be had. w. L. Guthrie, he continued, is at present making detailed investigation in ac-
 rdance with his promise to a Birming- l am delegation sometime ago that such an investigation would be made.
 For the purpose of striking one addi- tional blow, another Birmingham delega- tion has reached Washington. It is headed by B. w. King and Den Davis, well known labor leaders. Frank S. them.
 Senator Underwood protested to Sena- tor Simmons against the inclusion in the revenue bill of section preventing postmasters during the war receiving an increase in salary.
 If the section is eliminated the chances are that Birmingham will be elevated to the $60O,0Oo class. During the first six months of the year Birmingham $ post office did business in excess of $300,0o0, and as the second half of the year is always buster than the first there is little doubt but that Birmingham will touch the $eOO,O0O mark, which would en- title Postmaster Smyer to a salary of $6000. Senator Underwood has hope that the section will be stricken out.

 Tt is not the intention of the food ad- ninistration to fix the price for wheat nor is it expected that it will have any such power. If the food bill passes Con- gress, however we certainly will not stand for speculative buying"
