A ''Fair" Contest.

How many school children are
there who are familiar with the his
tory of their own state?
The management of the State Fair
lis interested in learning to what ex-
tent the children of Minnesota know
OF the struggles of the early set
tiers. and they propose novel
method of ascertaining.
The big spectacular feature of the
1908 Fair will be known as Fort
Ridgely in g." A reproduction of
the old fort as it stood, at that time,
will be constructed in the in-field of
the half-mile track, and a portrayal
of the attack by the Indians is to be
reproduced.
One thousand people, including
three hundred genuine Sioux In
dams, will participate in The ex-
hibition. 1t is intended to make
the enactment as consistent as pos
sible, and as yet the story upon
which the action will be based is
undecided. In order to secure
variety of versions of the various
attacks by the Indians on Fort
Ridgely, the State Fair manage
ment intend Offering eighteen
prizes for the best story or descrip-
ton of the affair, written by pupil
in the public schools.
The story may be taken from any
of the many histories that are pub
lished on the Sioux War in Mime
sofa, or they may be written from
descriptions of the battles as des-
cribed by. participants, many of
whom are alive and living in var
ious parts of the state. The story
must be written, however, in the
writer's own style, and not quoted.

SUMMARY
GOVERNMENTS:

GOVERNMENT:
l. Protest can be made to Debat-
ing Board only from dispute be-
tween members.
2. There is no dispute within the
meaning of the constitution.
3. Sections 2. ! and &, Article &
and Section 2. Article 8, are for the
guidance of judges and chairman
at debate, the Chairman to use his
best Judgment and discretion
where discretion is permissible. No
provision is made for the appealing
from ruling at debate. The
conduct of the debate is decided
by the officers thereat and decision
is final. The settlement of dispute
between members, which must
necessarily be prior to debate might
be properly acted upon when sub
mitted.
4. There is no board of appeal or
review. Members arrange for de-
bate by agreement. If dispute
arises instead of an agreement, the
dispute is decided by Debating
Board. Such action by Board is
not an appeal. not a review, there is
nothing to be reviewed, it is action
where there is inaction After a
debate is arranged and officials
chosen, the proceedings are in the
absolute control of those officials
1t would be impracticable and
often impossible to appeal from
their ruling, even if an appellate
authority had been provided. Time
would not permit. This is TN
doubtedly why no appeal was pro-
vided for by the organizers of the
League. None is, and no appeal
can be taken under strict con
struction of the constitution.
>. During the life of the League,
the Board has never attempted to
act as board of appeal or review
until the present instance. There
is no precedent for such action, no
authority therefor. Some attempt
ed appeal may have been made, but
the Board has always declined to
act. They had no power to act
AS TO THE MERITS of the two points
on which decision was made, as.
suning for argument, that the
Board has power of review
6. Negatives waived any
possible objection to loca-
ton of charts by not making
seasonable objection.
:. Assume it was not
waived. Charts could be
plainly seen from the plat
form by negatives, and the
objection falls.
(a) Statement of chairman.
10 Admission of protest
ants athearing.
tc) Testimony of four wit
ncsses.
\u) OHeT 10 take BOARD 10
North High.
8. No one had "substantial
right" to leave the platform. The
constitution prohibits it. "Debaters
shall be separated from the au-
dience." 1t was Convenient to sit
on the platform-this is not ques-
toned. (Also, no necessity. for
leaving platform.)
9. The point of order was heard
and passed upon Statement of
chairman.
10. The point OF order was with
out support and properly overruled.
(a) Statement of chairman.
(b) Statement of witnesses.
II. No appeal lies from ruling of
chairman. His best judgment is
binding and final.
IL. No one questions the fairness
and impartiality of the presiding
officer.
IL. Final contest can be held on
one date only. No change permits
sible.
IA. The Judges have decided.
No review possible under the Con-
stitution, none contemplated.

Therefore, the attempted action of
the Debating Board, of April 9, is in
error and of no effect. There is no
option but to- appear on April II
prepared to debate the final, and
the Virginia team will be there.
This statement is sent to the Dis
trict Directors that they may be adj
vised more clearly than by public
press, and also know that the Vir-
ginia team is not called to defend
itself, but indirectly is called to de-
fend the action of the officials who
we're at the contest. We do not ap-
pear as DIRECTORS or attempting to
upset anything. A protest was filed
by others, and we merely ask that it
be acted upon in accordance with
the rules. We are not fighting any
person, we merely ask that the rules
be followed; that no unauthorized
action, which is doubtless attempt
ed to be taken under a mistaken au-
thority, and is doubtless taken with
good faith as to the Debating Board,
be allowed to interfere.
If the rules are changed at the an
nual meeting of the Directors, all
members will doubtless be glad to
abide by such action as may be. TAX
en-. The regular date for the annu-
al meeting has been, and is, we are
informed, the third Saturday in Ap-
ril. The expenses of the annual
meeting may be paid as provided
by the rules. The meeting is en-
tirely independent of other meet

Yankton Herald: A wiseacre
of an obscure little paper up at
Angola. Ind, has discovered a
rather interesting fact in sum
marix ng the reports Of Long
view, the great asylum for the
insane, near Cincinnati. In
fnrty-eight years he says, no
editor has been received rs q
patient at the hospital, and ol.ly
one newspaper repo rter.
In that time the hospital has
treated 2. l59 housewives, 1884
l&borers, $50 domestic servants,
$50 other servants, 305 far mers
and l4l carpenters.
The only way the Herald can
account for the above is that the
fact that . man goes into the
newspaper business is generally
is sufficient proof to the public
that he is harmlessly idiotic.
and 1t il well known that idiots
seldom land in ins ane asyiums
