CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR
 ARMED ROBBERY.

Senator W. A. Jackson has introduc- ed bill to make robbery by an armed person sapital offense. The bill is too drastic inasmuch as no alternative penalty is prescribed. If the blii should pass in it's present form the punishment for robbery by an armed person in Arkansas would be more se- we're that the punishment for first de gree murder, inasmuch as under eX- isting statutes first degree murder is punishable either by life imprisonment or electrocution Also under the pro posed bill an armed house sneak and house sneaks usually are not con Sidered by the police as dangerous class of criminals-would on conviction be eleetrocuted.
 It might be well, however. to amend the bill and then pass it, inasmuch as we now have an unusual condition be- cause of the crime wave that has swept over the country Ii might also be well to consider the measure as one of emer- gency, to watch its effect closely and to repeal 1t if it failed to work the good expected of it.
 Yeggmen and hold-up men are among uhe most desperate criminals we have. Always they are ready to commit mur- der The alarming increase ill crimes by criminals of this kind might, and probably does. justify making such crimes capital offenses. If three or four yeggmen or highwaymen should be eiectrocuted ill Arkansas bank rob berries and hold-ups would be decreased by about 9S per cent Certain Western states destroyed the thriving industry of train robbery by making tran rob bery capital offense,--Gazette.
 W have not read Senator Jackson's bill to make it d capital offense for an armed burglar to enter your home Possibly the bill should be amended as suggested in the Gazette editorial above reproduced But we do know that something should be done to place q restraining arm on the thief who yisit' your home in the dark hours of nigh armed with death weapon in hi hand, ready to strike down any human form that blocks his way in the even of discovery.
 The ordinary "house sneak may no be considered dangerous, but it has al ways been our opinion, that the mar who will break into your home at night will kill you in order to escape.
 So if it requires electrocution to stoE these burglaries and lessen the chances of midnight murder, then let's put the juice to em' as provided for in the Jackson bill.

ESCAPE DEATH,
ABANDON TOUR
RESIDENTS OF CHAMBERLAIN
NEARLY LOSE LIVES IN DIS
ASTROUS BEULAH FLOOD.

Rapid City, Aug. 10.-Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Goethel and Mrs. Goth
els father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. b. Waite, all of Chamberlain
were in the city enroute to their
homes having called off their trip
to the Yellowstone National Park
after their exciting experience in the
Buelah flood of a week ago.
The Chamberlain party were the
second group of tourists who were
camped beside Sand Creek, just out
side of the town of Beulah. The
four were in their tent at the time
the wall of water rushed down upon
them without warning, after it had
been raining for nearly an hour.
When the water started to come
into our tent" said Mr.. Waite, "Mr
Goethel and the two ladies started in
our car for higher ground, while
remained to get what personal be-
longings l could carry
1t was while gathering up a few
things that the wall of water hit the
tent and Mr.. Waite was forced to
flee* and do it quickly.
Water was then up to my knees.
said Mr. Waite, 'and by the time
got a hundred feet away the water
had risen to my waist"
While Mr.. Waite was battling for
himself, his folks were forced to
abandon their car and Mr. Gothel,
carrying both ladies, was trying to
make higher ground, which he did
after a brave fight.
The flood ragged for nearly two
hours after itstruck the tourists and
then the water receded. Mr.. Waite
and his party heard Mrs. Bower, one
of the victims of the flood, calling
for help and tried to reach her, but
failed.
The party seemed very anxious to
get back home after their narrow
escape from death.

COMMUNITY DANCES
EXEMPT LICENSES
ONLY HALLS RUN As BUSINESS
VENTURE SUBJECT TO NEW
LAW, SAYS DAKOTA OFF,
CIAL.

Pierre, Aug 10.-Community dan
ces, where the primary purpose is
for a social gathering, even though
a charge is made for dancing, do not
come under the provisions of the
dance hall license law enacted by the
legislature last winter, Attorney Gen
eral Byron S. Payne, holds in an
opinion recently written by him.
This Interpretation of the law is con
sidered important because many pri-
vate dancing affairs have been dis
continued for fear of violating the
law.
Il am convinced" Mr. Payne says
in the opinion which was written at
the request of r. NJ Shield. states
attorney for McCook county, that
this statute was intended to and does
apply to dancing halls, as defined by
the statute, that are located in a
town or city as well as in the coun-
try, unless such dance halls are at
tually licensed, and regulated Ry
municipal corporations.
Il am also convinced that such
dance halls, as defined by this statute
do not include every public dance,
where a charge is made for dancing.
The statute is limited to public
dance, that is conducted for the per-
sonaI gain or profit OF the person OPP
Grating the same. In other words,
the operator must be making It a
business enterprise and conducting
the dance for profit as a business
venture. / am convinced that the
legislature did not intend that this
statute should apply to community
dances, though a charge is made for
dancing. where the primary purpose
of the gathering is social and any
profits from the function are devoted
to community work. I am Of the
opinion that the same is true with
reference to dances Of lodges and
fraternal associations and clubs.
where the same conditions obtain.
"The statute was intended to
reach certain recognized evils that
had become apparent in the conduct
of a certain class of public dances,
aad should be administered to cor
rect such evils"

months instead of IL months, and the
taxpayer will have to pay for 16
months instea3 of IL.
Under normalcy this would not
make any great amount of differ
ence, as the change would mean pay
ment for four months in advance,
and from the first payment on things
would run as of old.
But under the present financial
conditions and discussion of taxation.
to have this addition come means a
heavier drain on the taxpayers.
If the change had been made sew
eral years ago or put off for time
it would not have mattered material
ly, but just now it will pinch" at
many places.

Packers Profits
Are Not Large

Chicago, Aug. 10.-The packing
industry has about completed it's
postwar readjustment and the posi-
ton Of both producer and packer
should rapidly improve, Thomas E.
Wilson, president of the Institute of
American Meat Packers, told hun
dreds of packers from all sections of
the country in opening the three-day
annual convention here today.
Mr.. Wilson presented a survey of
10 non-packer industries, which he
compared with a survey of packing
companies to show that the nom
packers did less than four times as
much business as the packers and
made more than 100 times as much
profit. The packing companies sur
vey showed earned profits of $7,218,-
06S on an investment of approx
mately 100000, and sales of
SO, 100000. he said.
He also presented a table to show
price declines in wholesale meat
products during the last year rang
ing from 16 per cent to AZ per cent.
Practically all by-products are lower
than in 1913, he asserted.
The per capita consumption OF
meat and lard in the United States
in 1920 was 154.3 pounds, as com.
pared with 1888 pounds in 1918
representing potential loss of L..
365, 100000 pounds, he said.

To GRAVEL ROAD
UP TO MADISON
MINNEHAHA AND LAKE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS AGREE ON
PROJECT FOR CONNECTING
TWO CITIES.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 10.-By an
agreement between the boards of
county commissioners for Mime
haha and Lake counties, Sioux Falls
and Madison are soon to be connect
ed with a gravel surfaced road the
entire distance according to the an
nouncement of A. G.. Risty, chairman
few days ago the members of the
board from the two counties met by
pre-arranged agreement at the line
between the two counties at the
juncture Of the county highway lad
ing north from the Washington high
way at the town of Humboldt thru
Clear Lake and Buffalo townships
and the road leading due south from
Madison with the result that the
Lake county board agreed to grade
the road to the standard grade fixed
by the state highway engineer and
gravel the surface the entire dis
tance. At the present time the Min
nehaha county board has a force of
men at work on the Humboldt end of
the road which is being completed
as fast as funds are available and
during the fall and winter months
expects to do a considerable amount
of gravel hauling and the surfacing
will probably be completed in ad-
vance of the Washington Highway
into Sioux Falls.
1t is pointed out that by travelling
distance of eight miles south of
Humboldt, autoists will find the
Twelfth street road to be one of the
best gravelelled surfaced roads in
the state into Sioux Falls. BY the
vacation of the county highway from
the Twelfth street road south on the
McCook county line and moving ii
a distance of three or four miles
east, which was recently done by the
commissioners, an almost direct
north and south gravel surfaced road
has been made possible extending
through Lake, Minnehaha, Turner
and to the north county line of Yank-
ton county has been made possible
and completes the link in the social
ed Meridian highway which crosses
the Missouri river at Yankton and
extends south through Nebraska and
other states to the Gulf of Mexico
