Old Chest Game.

The Chess may be arranged in any
way that will hide one Of the players.
The game is based on the old poem,
"Mistletoe Bough."
The mistletoe hung in the castle hall,
The holly branch shone on the old oak
wall.
The baron's retainers were blithe and
gay,
A-keeping the Christmas holiday.
The "retainers'' all form a ring about
the clover" who is blindfolded. The
retainers sing:
Here we are so blithe and gay,
Keeping our Christmas holiday.
One will hide in the chest hereby;
To guess who 1t is you must surely try.
With that one Of the retainers runs
and hides in the improvised chest. The
"lover' is led to it, and he may ask
questions of the hidden one, who may
reply by eyes" or NO" Disgusting the
voice. By these answer the slower
must tell who the retainer is. If he
fails he must try again. When he sue
ceeds the hidden person becomes the
lover.

= paper before the recent conferences
81 charities and corrections held AT
Y4nkton. In which he took advanced
ground In the matter OF the manage
ment OF the state penal and charit-
able Institutions In times past the
idea has prevailed that selections at
these institutions should be made on
political lines. II one crowd wins
In an election it gets the p%eniten-
tiAry' and other Institutions; If the
other side wins 1t gets these
plums. This idea has always pre-
vailed in the past; that it still pre-
walls under the %so-caIled reform
movement is shown by a recent meet
ing held in Sioux Falls at which a
desperate effort was made to dis
place Warden Parmley for some war
den who had done political work for
the Crawford crowd; and apparent
ly the only reason that no selection
was made was not because it was be-
lieved this institution should not be
the football of politics but because,
on account of the large and volum-
inous number of promises out, it was
impossible to reach a decision.
Mr.. Upton is against all of this.
He believes that selections should be
made on merit. He believes that a
republican board should appoint a
democrat, if the democratic appli-
cant for the place is best equipped
for the work. He believes that the
longer a good man stays there, the
better for the institution and for the
welfare of the state. He believes
that the people need to realize that
the management of institutions like
the state hospital for the insane, the
state school for the feeble minded,
the state training school and the pen
itentiary is the work of a specialist,
and that his co-workers should be
chosen for their merit, and not for
their politics. Mr.. Upton points
out, in his splendid paper, how this
idea has grown in other states, as
for instance in Minnesota wner the
board sent outside Of the state to-
get a penitentiary warden. He
points out the multitudinous evils
Of the spoils system, and makes an
argument which does not appeal to
the practical politician, but which
will appeal, and strongly, too, to ev-
cry student Of the question Of char
tiles and corrections. Mr.. Upton
makes a further point which is wor-
thy; that is that the institutions be-
long to the entire state and not to
any community, and that every citi-
zen should have an equal interest in
every institution, no matter where it
is located.
We believe Mr.. Upton to be in the
right. We believe that hereafter pol
itical considerations should cut less
figure in the selection of men to take
charge Of the various state institu-
tions. We believe that the idea of
civil service should prevail in South
Dakota as it does in other states.
We commend to every voter a care
full reading Of this paper from Mr..
Upton, who has had long years Of
experience in this work, and whose
ideas are worthy at the very least of
a careful and conscientious reading.
