James II. Yarosh Goes Wrong

Cramped for want of funds to NEE t
his losses at the gambling table, Jas.
III. Yarosh, ex-county auditor, whose
term expired March /, appropriated
funds belonging to outside parties who
had bills against the county and has
fled the country, leaving his where
abouts unknown even to, his own
family.
An investigation has revealed a
shortage of nearly $500. 1t has been
the custom of the county auditor to
cash warrants issued in payment Of
bills against the county and remit ex-
change instead of sending the war
rant. 1t appears that in several cases
Yarosh failed to remit the exchange
after drawing the cash in The trcasur-
er's Office.
Those who allegc not to have re-
ccived their money are Brown &
Saengcr, Sioux Falls, s234.O9: Ameri-
can Book Company $685. IS: News Pub
fishing Co., Aberdeen 1925 %, and
there are several other smaller ac-
counts aggregating s37. The total so
far discovered is $7S3.S2.
But no one Will lose anything The
family of Mr. l@arosh is abundantly
able and more than willing to make
good the shortage, and as a matter of
fact the astounding eX-auditor has
property in his own right sufficient to
make good. The strangest part in the
proceeding is that Mr.. Yarosh should
have skipped without making his
brothers at least acquainted with the
difficulties he got himself into. Had
he done so the matter could have been
adjusted without the publicity it now
has attained.

for years. He is d young man wei

suspicion has ever been attached tt
his name. 1t is the old, old story O.

WALKSlN HISSLEEP
j. A. Stranska Meets With Strange
Adventure at Sioux City

Dreaming that the Oxford hotel,
Sioux City, was on fire, j. A. Stransky,
the well-known real estate man Of
Pukwana, arose from his bed in that
hotel, one night last week, and still
dreaming. walked to an open window
stepped out on to an imaginary lire
escape, and dropped fifteen to twenty
feet to the ground, and from which
tumble he suffered the fracture of a
rib only.
John went to Sioux City last week
on real estate deal. On the night OF
the accident he retired early to a room
on the second floor OF the Oxford, and
as the night was warm threw the win.
dow up before getting into bed. About
two O'Clock in the morning he awoke
to find himself on the ground outside
in badly shaken up condition. The
night clerk was astonished few min,
utcs later when white-clad figure,
robcd in a single garment of the night
stood in front of his desk and asked
"Where am H."
ooh, that's alright" replied the
clerk, who had ideas of his own, "you
just came down for a pitcher of ice
water" But John knew he didn't,
and as he began to regain his facul.
ties he explained matters to the clerk
then the young man on watch did
think that John wasn't ''just right"
But it was all revealed to him in time
that his guest was a.somnambulist,
giving to doing queer stunts in his
sleep, but nothing quite SO remarkable
as trying to walk on air twenty feet
from the ground.
Mr.. Stransky was taken to the
Samaritan hospital, where his injuri.
es we're found not severe aside from
the fractured rib. He was bruised
somewhat about the hip and abdomen,
but otherwise without marks. 1t was
a remarkable escape from a serious in.
jury, if not death, and altogether
about as strange Il mishap as one ever
hears Of John IS hosts of friends all
over the stare are glad it was nc
worse-but they don IT want him to dc
any more advertising in that kind of

Nevertheless, the laws are there
and the policies" are at work. The
threefold miracle which perpetuaIly
astonishes those who have studied the
real situation is, that such benehcent
results can aow in a stupendous stream
from so imperfect a source; that so
few fatal injuries are inflicted by the
manifest errors in management, and
that the explosion which must newt
ably come, unless tho vital defects are
cured, has been so long delayed
At several important points, the pos
tai laws and the departmental policies
which are supposed to conform there
to, directly concern those who are en-.
gagged in the newspaper business.
The most obvious and important
point Of contact is that relating to the
classification Of mail matter. Second
class rates were established for the
benefit Of legitimate newspapers and
periodicals. having in view the educa-
tional influence Of their circulation on
the whole people. The rate of one
cent a pound fixed by law for this
class Of mail matter was only a frac-
ton Of the known cost of handling and
transporting the same. Hence il was
the duty Of the department to carefully
guard this special privilege.
But during a series Of years abuses
had grown up. Many publications
which had no real public purpose and
were in no sense periodical literature.
had been admitted to the privilege. un-
til second class matter constituted 20
per cent of the whole weight of mail
transmitted, but yielded only four per
cent Of the revenue.

The United States postal service is

All this vast business. with its com

haphazard organization, built up under
laws which have never been systema-

ifcation, which consist in fact almost
wholly of incoherent provisos irregu-

The policy Of the department as to
mali transit on fast trains is of vital
importance to the newspapers. While
that class Of mail pays only one cent
a pound and letters over fifty cents,
they both go on the same trains and
they must continue to do so if the
press is to fulfill its mission as a dis
ceminator Of the news. Some reform
ers propose that all except the letter
mail be sent on slower trains. at less
cost for railroad transportation, and

courts, and few matters are suu
pending. Meantime, notice is given
that yet more advanced steps are to be
taken in ruling on the admissibility Of
certain supplements, etc, and there
are prospects Of bitter controversies in
the early future.
Upon the whole the department has
been generally sustained thus far, by
the press and the people in its crusade.
Some adverse comment has been made
by interests which have been injuri-
ously affected, and there has been an
occasional warning against the danger
which arises from establishing a prece-

latter consideration which will appeal
most forcibly to thoughtful journalists.

Twelve years service in responsible
positions connected with the United

fifteen years practical acquaintance
with newspaper work, both as editor
and publisher, enable me to fairly ap-

office and journalism.
Those relations are intimate and i'm
portant; they are interesting and in
terdependent; they are inevitable and
inescapable. without the postoffice
the newspaper would be impossible;
without the newspaper the postoffice
would be mostly unnecessary and who'll
ly unintenigible.
Consequently, the postal service,
