last evening by people who wished to con,
tribute their share toward paying off the
debt on the new residence of Father Roles,
and also to have Jolly time. The play Of
Aunt Betsey's Beaux," by the st. Joseph
Dramatic Association was very good-and
the singing Thy the Misses Mary and
Annie Leary) excellent. After the per-
formance dancing continued until after
midnight. The fancy refreshment and
supper tables were we'll patronized. To
night ends the fair and they hope for {
large and liberal attendance.

1t would seem, therefore, that no stu
dent at Augustana College, il the 4th
ward, has a right to vote unless be intends
to make this his permanent home. Not
one of them came here for any other pur-
pose but to obtain an education.
Those Of them who can swear that they
regard Rock Island as their permanent
home, having no other to which to return in
case of sickness or domestic af1iction, and
who are citizens of the United States, and
who have complied with the laws of tae
state in regard to residence etc., ETC., re.
garding elections, are unquestionably
according to this decision, voters. Nc
others are. These students are mostly
if not all of them, a Conscientious, pioui
body of young men who would mo-
equivocate or swear falsely for a hundred
votes, and we should give full credit tc
their statements as to their residence anC
their intention as to residence, Of course
not one of them would haYe come her,
except to get an education. They did
not come here because they intended II
make Rock Island their home bu
because they - wished to fnisl
their studies. That should not Civ,
them right to vote. But all who Cal
conscientously swear that they have n,
other home to return to. and who compl,
with the election laws in other respects
are voters. 1t depends upon themselve
to say, in respect to residence, and it viii
be greatly to the future interest of tn
college that such course be taken by tn
faculty and students as will create n
prejudice against them on politica
grounds. No fair minded man will de
sire to curtail their just rights-but be
yond clear and undisputed right the,
should not attempt to go.

An Important Decision on the High
School Question.

The supreme court of the state of Hi

ion which affects every high school in the
state. 1t is to the effect that children
cannot be compelled to study drawing,
music. Latin, German, Greek, French,
etc., if they do not desire; that it is option
al with the parents to determine whether
their children pursue more than the COM
mon branches of study or not; and that il
any board Or school director or teacher
attempts to compel pupil to 60 farther
than the studies enumerated by law, they
are guilty of tresspass. Nor can high
schools be maintained under the general
school law, which were created by special
enactments. There is talk Of getting out
an injunction to prevent, in Ottawa, the
payment of the salary of the high school
| teachers, on the ground that they are
doing and being paid for work done out
side of the requirements of the law. As
the school system of Ottawa is established

DECISION OF THE SUPREME
COURT OF ILLINOIS
On the Right of Students to Vote.

The supreme ,court.of Illinois, in late
decision, has defined the meaning of per-
naanent residence so far as students are
concerned. The case was taken up from
Shurtleff College, and the decision is as
follows:
"The question turns upon what is a per-
manent abode, and this must be determined
by facts and intention.
"The legislature, by this section. sought
to establish a criterion of residence by
declaring that permanent abode shall be
such criterion. Now, what is "a perma-
nent abode?" Must it be held to be an
abode which the party does not intend to
abandon at any future time? This, it
seems to US, would be a definition too
stringent for country whose people and
characteristics are eyer on a change, No
man in active life, in this state, can say,
wherever he may be placed, this is and
ever shall be my permanent abode. II
would be safe to say permanent abode,
in the sense of the statute, means nothing
more than a domicil, a home, which the
party is at liberty to leave, as interest OF
within may dictate, but without any present
intention to change it.
Zone who has home in town in thi:
state, is, by the laws of the state, liable t.

property, to be enrolled in the militia, anC
placed on the jury lists and serve as jury
men, and to be chosen to ell town. or coun
