FARMER-LABOR PARTY WINS RE-APPORTION-
MENT VICTORY

The House and Senate, of the Minnesota Legis-
lature, have apparently got together on re-appor-
tionment plan.
After several conferences the members of the
joint House and Senate Committees approved of the
division of the state into nine districts.
Two years ago the Conservatives were in the
saddle in both House and Senate. The bill agreed
upon late in the session clear case of gerry
Wandering with the thought in mind of making it
hard for Paul Kvale, the only Farmer-Labor member
of Congress from this state to be reelected.
When the measure came to Gov. Olson, it was
promptly vetoed, too late in the session to permit
the drafting and passage of new measure.
The Governor gave his justification for vetong
the measure that his home city, Minneapolis, was
treated unfairly in the bill.
This delay caused the unseemly scramble last
fall when something like 80 nominees were candi-
dates for the nine Congressional places
When the House was organized this year the
Farmer-Laborites in control. The Conserva-
tives retained slight majority in the Senate.
After the House and Senate had passed their
individual reapportionment bills conference commit
tees were named to patch up the differences.
The Senate bill took Meeker, Magnus Johnson's
county, from the old Third district and placed it in
the Seventh, the home of Paul Kvale. Congressman
Johnson is ambitious and hard man to beat In any
district where happens to reside. The Conserva-
tives longed to witness scrap between Magnus and
Paul.
The Farmer-Labor majority in the House had
different ideas Mr. Kvale is the pet child of the
family, and they determined to make his go
ing easy possible. They did little gerryman-
dering themselves. Murray county, home of Vim
Weber, Conservative, and likely congressional can
didate in the regular order, lifted from the
Second district and transferred to the Seventh That
move eliminated Mr.. Weber.
Meeker county, with rough and ready Magnus,
was transferred by the House from the Seventh dis
trict to this, the Sixth District. This move caused
much Indignation and some jublication-depending
the view point.
The Senate was attempting to make the Sixth
safely Republican and opposed the entry of Mr..
Johnson into the picture.
The House was insistent and the Senate finally
yielded.
A clear of gerrymandering.
The Governor severely shocked at the at
tempts of the Republican majority to do this thing
two years ago. He and his party are in the saddle
in this state at present. They are making much hay
politically while the gods smiling favoraby The
Herald wouldn't be surprised if he signs the amend
ed bill. AS matter of fact we would be surprised
almost shocked, if he didn't.
The battle in the Old Old Sixth in 1884 should be
humdinger. There will be Magnus, honest to
goodness dirt farmer, whose word is good as his
bond, opposing the present congressman who might
be looked upon political opportunist, and slight
y undependable without too much of stretch of the
Imagination
The Herald welcomes Mr.. Johnson into the Sixth
district.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS

Perhaps in other industry is there such va
riety of conditions as in the newspaper business To
tailed Unfortunately, there something over
$4,000 newspapers in the United States, ranging from
the smallest country weekly which prints only two
pages in its own shop with additional pages printed
by syndicate to the great metropolitan dailies
which employ thousands of persons each.
For the smallest probably not than Is
pounds of paper is required each week. while the
Chicago Tribune for Sunday edition all the
paper produced from timber grown 240 acres of
land.
According to Grove Patterson the well-known
writer, the New York Times employs 800 persons,
with payroll Of $25,0OO,0OO year. Hearsts news
papers and magazine more than $50000000 worth
of paper year in normal times.
But in spite of the disparity between the smallest
and the largest of American newspapers, the pub
Usher of the small country weekly need not be
awed by the size of his metropolitan rival The local
newspaper has a place in the life of its community
which the great dailies can not usurp if the loca
publisher is alive to his opportunities and makes the
most of them.
Now, as always, the home town newspaper is the
best and cleanest exponent of constructive journal
ism.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, September 16.-Illinois is
at last modernizing its penal system in
accordance with the latest findings OF
science on the treatment and control
of the socially maladjusted and con-
victed felons.
For years medical, educational and
welfare groups have advocated re-
construction of the antiquated system
which was causing so much unrest in
side prison walls and dissatisfaction
outside them.
The plan involves shifting inmates
from one institution to another, accord
ing to a system of classification and
SEGREGATION advocated by criminologtsts
and experts in mental hygiene and be-
havior.
The State penal institutions at
Joliet, Statesville (called the new Joliet
PRISON. and Menard Penitentiaries and
the Pontiac Reformatory are consoli-
dated into a single institution-the
Illinois State Penitentiary. The State
Department of Public Welfare has
given authority to transfer prisoners
from one prison to another and a
psychiatric division is set up for in
sane and feeble-minded prisoners.
When the change has been completed
there will be at the Statesville prison
none but first offenders of normal men
tality,- none at the old prison at Joliet
except recidivists of normal mentality,
and none at Menard but feeble-minded
and insane criminals.
All woman prisoners were removed
from the old prison at Joliet to Dwight,

Illinois to MOdernize Present Handling of
Prisoners According to Scientific
Methods; Inmates to Be Classified

where the State Reformatory for
Women is located
There was established at the old
prison the Diagnostic Hospital OF the
Illinois State Penitentiary. All persons
convicted and committed for crimes in
this State are to be delivered there for
safe custody while board of psychia-
trists, psychologists, physicians and
others under the control of the State
criminologist, determine the division Of
the penitentiary to which they shall be
sent,
The parole act was amended SO that
no prisoner shall be eligible for parole
unless the Parole Board shall have
first obtained from the State crin1inolo-
gist a report that such a person is
mentally fit for life OF freedom out
side of any institution.
The reform of the antiquated system
came about through the untiring efforts
of Rodney H. Brandon. until recently
director of the Department OF Public
Welfare. There was a lack OF money
with which to build additional facilities
for the increasing prison population
This gave Mr.. Brandon chance to
push through the General Assembly the
long-urged reform which involved the
remodeling of the penal statutes. In
ability to finance prison construction
forced politicians to listen to Mr.. Barn.
don'S alternative-the scientific recon-
struction of the system.
Gov. Horner has retained Mr.. Bran
don to complete the reorganization
along approved scientific lines. He re-
signed as director of the department, in
which capacity he served through the
four-year term of former Gov. Emerson.

the first three months of this year.
before the corporation opened an
office in South Dakota, the records dis
close there was a total of 10 mortgage
foreclosures in the county. This in
cluded 80 pieces of city property and

Corporation in full operation in the
county and the State, Is making the
best showing of all, with only nine
foreclosures thus far in the months Of
July. August and September.
We believe our organization" said
Mr.. Steensland, has had a big part
in bringing about the reduction, and
on that theory it must be evident that
our service is of great value to the
county and to the State of South Da-
kota as whole.
Results vindicate the conviction of
the administration that, if aided, a
great percentage of the home owners
whose property was slipping away from
them will be able to retain their
homes. This seems to be borne out by
the facts. We look forward to even
greater reductions in the future. The
result has been a general stimulant.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OMAHA, Nebr, September 10
Denial of seat in its annual con-
vention to a representative of an un-
employed group because he was sus-
pected of being a Communist and
withdrawal from the convention by an
other of the same group marked the
annual meeting of the Nebraska State
Federation of Labor this week IN
Omaha.
The incident is illustrative OF the
growing tension over relief measures In
this region. The two men are mem
bers of the Nebraska Unemployed Fed
Grafton. claiming several thousand
members over Nebraska, who have long
been without work. One Of them SAID
he attended the labor federation to
protest against compelling persons given
public relief being paid in groceries
when they have need of actual cash
in part at least. The other refused
to saw whether he is a Communist.
Nebraska has been singularly free OF
this type of agitation. but relief
crisis is approaching. In Omaha Dex-
ter Buel, in charge OF the joint emer.
gency relief group. said the Federal
grant of relief money was used up
this week. It was explained that more
is not forthcoming in amounts sought
because Federal allowances are made
only in ratio of public money expended
in 1882. Other cities of comparable
size borrowed for this from the Re.
construction Finance Corporation and
took care of their jobless from public
money, while in this region private
expenditures were relied upon in the
main. Mayor Towl of Omaha and
other public relief officials are franz
ing a protest against small Federal
relief allowances to be sent to Wash
