PEACE FAVORED.
Gerniiin Alliance Favon Federation
of World in Steadfast Bond of
Amity.
GOOD WOIID FOB GRANT.
The National German-American
Alliance in biennial convention at
Cincinnati.! last Monday di-cus-ed
reports of various committees.
The Peace Committee, in setting
forth the principles of the alliance
with reference to the Universal
peace movement of the world, de
clares in favor of a federation of all
nations, based on a mutual guaran
tee of their independence and pos
sessions and against attacks of the
rrmnbers.
The committee favors the fur
therance of all international agree
ments, treaties and conventions
which will establish uniform legis
lation tending to the welfare of the
working classes and improvement
of social, commercial and industrial
conditions in general, and the sub
stition of legal proceedings in place
of bloodshed ,n settling dissensions
between nations and between em
ployes and employers.
The convention voted down a res
olution condemning Gener.il Pred
Grant for marching in United States
Army uniform at the head of a tem
perance parade in Chicigo. Pre
vailing arguments were that Gen
eral Grant marched in his personal
capacity only, and that "he is not a
fanatic, as he advocates the useful
ness of the canteen for the army."
A resolution asking the Govern
ment not to pass legislation cur
tailing well-meaning immigration
was adopted. It wa. held the Gov
ernment should belter distribute
immigrants over the country.
A resolution calling on the alli
ance to contribute to the support of
German private schools was de
feated, on the ground that the or
ganization members did enough for
the cause of education by paying
taxes for public schools, and that
the alliance would use its influeiKe
to maintain the teaching of the
German language in the public
schools. The convention voted
unanimously to invite the German
Protestmt associations of the Unit
ed States to join the alliance.

bors on Friday, and made the fol
lowing report:
We have examined the public
building and found the court house
and jail in good condition. We
compliment the sheriff and janitor
at the conic house for the same.
We find the jail needing some re
pairs, but the Commissioners have
informed us that they expect
to receive bids on Monday for the
same which al.-o includes court
house repiirs. We also recommend
commissioners t provide cots and
bedding for the jury room.

They are ihe first victims in Col
umbia county to fall under the in
definite sentence act which was
passed by the last legislature and
approved by Governor St.iart on
Mny 10, 1909. Among other
things it provides that where a
prisoner has been twice before sen
tenced t'i a term of one year or
more and convicted a third time, it
shall be the duty of fh- court to
sentence him to a period of not
more than 30 years in the eastern
penitentiary, the mimimum aen
tence not to be less than one-quarter
of the maximum, which means
that at the end of 7 years he
may be paroled. If he again breaks
the law, b.ick h; goes for the bal
ance of the indefinite sentence, in
addition to the sentence for the
new crime.
Kitchen previously served time
twice, one of which was in the pen
itentiary. . -
MORE ROOM REQUIRED.
Owing to the very large attend
ance at the Normal School this fall,
it has become necessary to find
more room for the accommodation
of the girl students, and the third
floor cf the laundry building will
be cut up into rooms for that pur
pose. When this building was erected
the top floor was intended for a
hospital where contagious diseases
could be treated without danger of
infecting the whole school, but it
has never been so used to any ex
tent, as there was no occasion, and
now it is to be put into constant
use.
NEW GREEN HOUSES.
The completion of two new green
houses at the Dillon plant on Fifth
street gives a capacity of about
200,000 square feet of glass.
