The farce. comedy hat has been on

as leading lady has been having some
trouble with the villain representative
Parmlev. The villain has repeatedly
insisted on introducing some vaudeville
stunts which were no on the program

mer and as a result the love making of
the Gambls.C Crawford Stock Co. has not
had the enthusiastic applause of the
people of South Dakota that the play
wrights fondly expected to have As
originally written the play was a one
act drama entitled, "Dignified Robert
The Peoples Idol" BY the action of
Parmley it has ~degenerated into a con-
tinuous vaudeville at popular prices, %

Laying all jokes aside, it is without
precedent in this state that there should
be no enthusiasm at all when a United
States senator WIS elected and that he
should not be called on for "A speech.
This is just what happened and Mr.. X.
J. Gamble was waiting in a cloak-room
for just such an opportunity.
The bunch of performers" headed by
Crawford made an earnest plea to the
people last summer for a chance 10 're-
form" the government of South Dakota
and to purge politics of graft and graft
ers pledged themselves to do this. In
the face of these pledges the first i'm
portant act of the insurgent Legislature
was to elect TO the highest Office in the
gift of the people OF South Dakota a
man who had a charge of graft lodged
against him. One would naturally sup
pose that his election would have been
held up until after an investigation of
the charges had been made but this was
not done. The party lash was applied
and the reluctant reformers whipped
into line and the election r~ailroaded
through.
Then the investigating committee in
trying to fix things for Gamble deliber-
ately falsified the testimony of Senator
Gamble himself in order to do a good
job of "whitewashiDg."
The action of these "~reformers'' was
worthy of Tammany in its palmiest
days and a reiteration CT Boss Tweed's
"to hi with the people"
1t may be hat my view of the situa-
ton is somewhat distorted, but when a
simple reasoning is applied to the matter
it resolves itself into the simplest of all
propositions.
The facts are that Crawford, Gamble,
ct al. had to find some issue as a vehicle
for their political ambitions. and as re-
form was the most popular, they chose
that. They wanted to reform the gov
eminent Of South Dakota by putting

skilled laborers coming from Japan
are to be barred from the mainland

board as an adjustment of the anti
japanese agitation brought about by
the segregation Of Japanese children
in the schools Of San Francisco. The
agreement means that the schools Of
San Francisco will be conducted in the
same name as they were before the
board of education adopted the resolu-
ton last October providing for the
segregation Of the Japanese except
that adult japanese who are in pTi-
mary grades must continue to attend
the Oriental schools and that japanese
children under sixteen years OF age
will be admitted to classes with white
children of their own ages. While
the resolution of the school board as
amended reads children of allen

Schmitz and his associates that the
resolution will apply only to the Japa-
nese children and that the change in
the wording was to make it plain TO
the Toxic government that no dis
elimination was intended against
japanese children.
