Fowler of Blair visited the state house this afternoon and spent considerable time in the depart- ment of public instruction, over which he will soon assume officlal supervision. Mr. Fowler has shaved off his mustache since he was last in Lincoln, and when he ap- peared among his friends today he was greeted with cold stares instead of con- gratulations on account of his election. Mr. Fowler is the tallest of all the oMcers- elect; in fact, he is almost as tall as the outgoing secretary of state, who is said to be the largest man, measured by the standard of feet and inches, who ever oc- cupled a position in the state house. Even before he came so prominently before the people as a candldate for state superin- tendent, Mr. Fowler was one of the best known school men of the state. He has attended every teachers' convention and institute of note In this state for many years past and probably has as wide an Acquaintance among the school people of the state as any other person. Mr. Fowler intends to rent a suitable dwelling house in Lincoln and reside here permanently throughout his adminlstra- tion. “I cannot say whether I will bring my family the first of the year,” he said. ‘““That depends entirely on whether I can find & desirable dwelling house In Lin- coln. 1 am not prepared to say anything for publication concerning my polfcy. I am golug to do everything possible for the good of the schools. I have a number of ideas which I desire to work out, but 1 don't eare to say now whether there will — CRUEL ME'1HODS Diseasen.

They stood nine for con- viction aud three for acquittal, A very important findiog was hamded down this morning by Judge Grimison, one which will affect ail justices of the peace in the state. The finding was, In effect, that justices have jurisdiction in cases of assault or assault and battery only as ex- amining magistrates; that is, they can im- pose no fine, but simply bind over to the district court a decision rendered by the supreme court and also an opinlon by Attorney General Smyth, in which the amendment in 187 to the law of 1873 Is declared unconstitu tional, as 1s also a latter amendment in 1893, Since these two amerdments are void, justices must necessarily proceed under the old law of 1873, The quostlon was ralsed this morning in a case which had been appealed from justice court, where a fine of 35 had been assessed, Earns Her Education in the Flelds.

PRESS MUST BE ALLOWED MUCH LATITUDE Supreme Court Hands Dowa Two Opinions Defining Liberties of Publishers in Discus As- pirants’ Record and Fitness, PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 24.—(Speclal.)—The supreme court today handed down two opinions in which the question of libel of nen who are cundidates for public office is decided, both cases being in favor of the papers which made such criticism. One case, in which the opinion was Wwrit- ten by Judge Corson, was that of H. Ray Myers against John Longstaff, which came up from Beadle county. Longstaff, in the Huronite, had called attention to the fact that an investigation of the books of Myers as city treasurer showed a shortage of about §500. This was shown at & time when Myers was a candidate for mayor of Huron and at the same time asking for a federal appointment. Myers sued for libel, but falled in the lower court and appealed. The court In the decision says: The plaintiff has argued the case upon the the of ‘an_ ordinary libel, appar- ently overlooking the fact that the articles published were so pub'ished while the plaintiff was a candidate for the office of ‘mayor ‘and a candidate for a federal office, and were therefore privileged pub- lications, ‘if published in good faith and with probabie cause and without malice Tho rule scems to be well settled that th fitness 1 qualifications of u candidate for an elective office may be the subject of the freest scrutiny and Investigation by the proprictor of a newspaper having an interest’ in the matter and that much latitude must be allowed in the publica- tion, for the information of ters, of charges affecting the #tness of a candldate for the place he seeks, so long as It is done In good faith, in' the honest bellef that the matter published is t without mali When one becs date for public office he the places his conduct, character an before the publi¢ for their dis- ndconstderation. They may be by the writer or speaker and the law will protect such writer or speaker, providing that in thelr statement of or concerning the facts upon which their criticlsms are based they preserve an hon- est regard for the truth, or their criticisma are made in good faith and in the honest bellef, after reasonable investigation, that they are true. The other case was that of Josiah Boucher against the Clark Publishing company, in which the lower court is reversed in prac- tically the same language, the decision being by Haney. In this case the Clark Pilot- Review accused Boucher of offering men places on the jury if they would assist in his re-election as sheriff. Prefer the Water of the Missourt, YANKTON, 8.

Some months ago the Business Men's club took up the problem of changing our system, even at this late day, and appeared before the city council by committee and asked that an investigation into the practicabil- ity of the plan be made. For some time the club rested in the bellef that the matter was being attended to. That it was not done they learned when the councll signed a contract to buy a new engine to further patch up and improve the old system. The club contains the heaviest taxpayers of the city and those most interested in its prog- 80 when they learned that their re- quest for an investigation bad been totally ignored they were indignant. They still favor a new and better water system and do not wish to see any mere money ex- pended on the old. At a meeting called im- mediately & committee was appointed to request the counclil to defer action for a few days pending an investigation into the practicability of the proposed system, and instruction was given it to enjoin the coun- cll, it necessary, while the investigation was belng made. Dispensary Bill Defeated. BIOUX FALLS, 8. D, Ncv. 24.—(8peclal) Practically complete returns have been recelved of the vote cast in South Dakota at the recent election on the question of the state following the lead of South Caro- lina and adopting the dispensary system as the best method of controlling the liquor trafic. An amendment to the state con- stitutlon requiring the authorities of the state to Inaugurate a dispensary system carried at the election two years ago, but the vote cast upon the question was only a small percentage of the vote of the state and the legislature refused to obey the mandate of a very swall minority of the voters, those opposed to the dispensary two years ago having falled to vote upon the proposition. This year, however, there was a very good vote on the question. With a complete vote of all the counties but Buffalo and Lyman—each with compara- tively small votes—the dispensary is de- feated by a majority of 14,724, The vole At present stands 30,314 for the dispensary and 46,039 agalnst it.
