40 sTATENfENT REoIIIRED.

A controversy has arisen over the
question of making public the sources
Of campaign funds and their disburse-
ments. Chairman Ryan, of the Demo-
cratic state committee. has made a
sworn statement concerning the funds
handled by his committee but Chair
man drummer, of the Republican state
committee. will not recognize Mr.. Ry-
ans challenge to go ana do likewise.
Out of this has arisen the statement
that the treasurers of campaign COM
mittees and all persons who collect
and handle campaign funds, including
all candidates who make contributions
or pay out money for their own cleo
ton. must file with the county clerks
of their respective counties sworn state
ments concerning these campaign
funds.
This statement is erroneous. There
is now no law on this subject on the
statute book. Such a law did exist for
time. but it did little 70 no good.
and 1t was repealed four years ago.

money only in legitimate manner, viii

AT THE REFORNIATORY.

1t is unfortunate that affairs do not
run more smoothly at the Hutchinson
reformatory. The dismissal of Chap
lain Gates by Superintendent Marshall
creates a vacancy that the board of
managers will find difficulty in filling
as capably as the late chaplain filed Il.
It is undoubtedly true that Mr.. Gates
criticised the way the institution was
run if he thought that criticism was
called for, for he is not the sort Of a
man who is afraid to speak his mind,
or who keeps silent simply for the sake
of holding a job. At the same time he
was peculiarly fitted for the work Of
chaplain of the reformator He has
had years of experience in dealing with
boys and young men. and his love for
his work was such as to lead him to
turn down offers of double the salary
to leave it for something else.
The chaplain of an institution like the
reformatory is one of the most i'm
portant and valuable officers in it. if
its object is to reform the hayward
boys and young men who are sent to
it. The right kind of a chaplain can
do an immense amount of good in a
place like that. The wrong kind won't
be worth anything.
The state pays a salary of only $500
a year for this work, and it will be no
easy task to find another capable man
to succeed Chaplain Gates at that sal
ary And yet the state has invested
several hundred thousand dollars in
the reformatory and is spending O
large amount each year to keep it ND
But what does it amount to unless the
utmost efforts are put forth by those
in charge to really reform the Young
men sent there2 A strong executive
is, of course, needed at the head OF the
institution as superintendent, but it
seems a pity that such a capable Off
Ger as Chaplain Gates cannot also be
kept for the moral good Of the inmates.

Boni de Castellane is playing a time

taken by the traditional first actor in
the human drama, no less a star than
Adam. Regarded for years throughout
Europe and America as the champion
spendthrift of the period. marked out

of high livers as a prince of prodigals.

who wanted the regal splendor OF
domicile, the magnifcence of main
tenance. the extravaganza of attire and
appointment that made the Castellane
family conspicuous. 1t was to satisfy
her desire for unapproachable mag
niflcence that drove him to the usurers.

She can dance, If you please, like a fay,
