commentator OF HOWARD w
Simpson superintendenant of the
school for deaf for an appropriation
for an additional one numbered acres
of land for the purpose Of
establishing course in agriculture.
''BacR to the sell'. says the
Governor, is the slogan of today,
and it most certainly seems the
right thing for the deaf boy, being
practically impossible for him to
qualify for the trades and pro-
fessions.
Superintendent Kutnewsky Of the
States School and Home for Feeble
Minded is recommended for his
efficient management Of the affairs
Of the institution and his daughter
Miss Edna is also given COM
plimentary mention for her work
in the institution. The legisla-
ture should read carefully the
Doctors recommendations in re-
gard to keeping the feeble minded
within an institution. The danger
to society in intermarriage by
people of this class is little realize
and cannot too strongly urge
upon you the necessity of com
pulsory law which will keep them
within an institution. In grant
ing the appropriations for this in
stitution the Governor recommends
that money be given for the COM
pletion of the large main building
the foundation Of which is already
in, and for such other as the
legislature may deem necessay to
meet the important demands upon
the institution.
The administration of affairs at
the State Sanitarium for
tuberculosis at Custer by Super
intendent r. Z. Woodwork is
heartily commended and the legisla-
ture is urged to provide Immediately
sufficient funds for the enlargement
Of this institution to take care OF
at least a fair share of the thousand
or more citizens Of South Dakota
who are deserving of treat ment in
such an institution. Endorsement
is given to an appropriation for a
main fire proof building and for
central heating plant to replace
the forty-nine stoves which are now
in use in the institution. This
institution at the present time is
entir ely unable to take care of
such as urgently apply for admis-
sion. Often they cannot be received
until it IS too late and the waiting
list is being reduced more
frequently by death than by
admission.
Special attention is called to the
report of DR.. l.. G.. Mead, Super
intendent of the State Hospital for
the Insane and his requests for
appropriations are concurred in.
In his message Governor Norbeck
says Of the superintendent of this
institution: "Dr. Mead is one Of
the oldest superintendents in this
country having served here as
superintendent for the past twenty
five years, and in point of efficiency
he is excelled by none. = The
general management and care of
the patients here is given special
commendation. DR.. Mead's re-
concentrations regarding COM
mencing work Immediately on the
new hospital for insane at Water
town. are given the endorsement of
Governor Norbeck. DR.. Mead has
urged this upon several sessions
Of the legislature, but no steps
have been taken except that Of
locating the institution upon Sec
tion of state land adjoining the city
of Watertown. some twelve years
ago. The Yankton institution has
abont cached is natural limit in
the number of patients-one
thousand.

front Of brown Chaska polished
brick with sandstone facings, the
sign Bank of Commerce being
cut in stone over the entrance.
Levi Schnabel one, of the stock
holders of the bank, erected the
building. and Messrs. Carlson &
Haslen were the contractors who
constructed it.
The building is certainly a fine
addition to the architecture Of the
city, and it is said by those who
are in position to know what they
are talking about, that there is
nothing finer or more complete as
a banking house on the line of the
H. & d. between Milbank and the
twin cities. 1t is certainly an i'm
provement of which every citizen
of Milbank may we'll feel proud.

LEAK PROBE |S AGAIN ISSUE
 IN CONGRESS
Thomas w. Lawson Will Be Called to Witness Stand on Monday anu Forced to Give Names.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.- Clothed with new powers for forcing wit ness to testify the House rules com mittee will call Thomas W. Lawson before it again, probably Monday and demand that he name the con gressman, who he said told him that cabinet officer. a member of con gress and a broker were in a con spiracy to make money on the stock market on official secrets.
 If Lawson again refuses 10 name the congressman and the trio involved in his story, as it is generally believed he will, the committee then will re port him either to the House or to the District Court on contempt charges.
 This plan was agreed upon by the committee today after an acrimonious debate between Democrats and Re publicans on the floor of the House had upset the generally accepted idea that agitation over rumors of leak in advance of President Wilson's peace note was about to subside. Dur ing the discussion Republicans charg ed that the Democrats were shutting oil the inquiry because they were afraid of it, while the Democrats in sisted that their opponents were play ing politics.
 When the House had talked for two hours and was about to vote on the committees report Representative Cantrill made a proposition that changed the whole situation.
 Let the committee be instructed he said. Ito bring Thoms W. Lawson before it and submit to him in writ ing the question he refused to an. swer If he does not answer, then let Lawson be cited before the bar of the House and determine whether Thomas W. Lawson has more power than the American congress"
 Everybody was surprised by the suggestion but in a moment indorse- ments began to come from members of both sides of the House, including Chairman Henry of the committee. Tn the end it was agreed that the com mittee eN~"'' have five additional days in which to report on the Wood privileged resolution a report on which originally was ordered by to- morrow. and Mrs. Henry immediately called a meeting of his committee for tomorrow morning to work out plans for recalling Lawson. The Wood res olution with amendments or some substitute to broaden the committees powers probably will be brought be- fore the House tomorrow and acted

GARRISON TALKS FOR STRENGTH
 IF NATION
Ex-Secretary of War Says the
 Nation "Must Mourn in Sack-Cloth and Ashes" for Its Folly and Heedlessness.
(By Review Leased Wire)

NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-Unless the present problems confronting the United States are settled soon and rightly, the nation must mourn in sack cloth and ashes,' for its folly and heedlessness, declared Lindley M. Gar rison, former secretary of war, in an address tonight before the New York State Bar Association.
 Tn that day the eXecration' heaped upon those who led the nation astray," he asserted, will differ in degree only from that heaped upon those who saw the light and knew the way, but had hearts too faint to lead on the proper way"
 MT. Garrison declared that the coun- try's foreign relations must be kept above party consideration and conson- ant with national traditions. The CT ergies of the wisest and best leaders the nation can produce would be taxed. he said, to determine the part the United States should play in world politics.
 ITO avoid unnecessary conflict" he continued, "I will waste no time dis cussing avoidance of war by supine surrender of our self respect Or by re- fusal to defend and maintain the na tion's interests against the nations enemies-for what profiteth it a na- tion to save its skin if it lose its soul?
 "Other proposals rising from men who love their country. revolve around the central idea of a world alliance to insure, preserve and enforce peace through a world court or world parlia- ment.
 With this suggestion l am in entire and wholehearted sympathy, but we must not let emotion lead us into a radical departure from the policy which has made and kept us great. Fear for our safety need not cause us to enter such an agreement, for we have both men and means to provide for our safety; and if we will not avail ourselves of them we are not worth saving. We should consider carefully whether mixing in the affairs of other nations is not probably surer way to produce war then to prevent it. No self-respecting nation should enter such an allience unless it is prepared to accept the consequences of seeing it's destiny dominated by other minds and other interests.
 Morgan J. O'Brien. president of the association, in an address referred to the striking deficiencies in our exist ing system of state administration.
 MT. O'Brien declared there is a growing tendency to fill volumes with useless statutes and called the manner of making laws "erude and unscienti- fic."
