AUTO HORSE THIEVES BANE.

TOPEKA, Kas., April 9.-The faith

Kansas as a necessary adjunct of

plentiful in Kansas, and they have
been found 50 much better in chasing

those who take horses and mules from
stables without the owners permission
that the horse is being relegated far
to the rear. In fact, the horse isn't
in the hunting game in Kansas any
more.
Only last week seventeen motor cars
left Hiawatha to help in rounding up
a gang of horse thieves in the hills
along the Missouri river in northeast
Kansas This posse was joined by
motor parties from Troy. Atchison
and White Cloud, Kas., and from Ru!o
and Falls City, Neb. The motors
were so much faster and the endur-
ance SO much greater than those of
horses that it was a comparatively
easy matter for the posse of members
of the Anti-Horse thief association of
three counties to surround and cap
ture the men who have been making
periodical raids into the country west
of the Missouri river and escaping
with from two to a dozen horses be
longing to the farmers.

When q horse is stolen now the ru-

lions to head off the thieves, and drive
them toward a common center where
other motor cars with sheriffs and A

Rabbit and wolf hunts have long
been a common sport in Kansas. Men
would so out with horses and dogs
and have a rabbit or wolf drive. Now
a party of perhaps a dozen men IN
three or four motor cars get out and
make more successful drives than 100
men with horses.
A wolf hunt with a motor car is
about as exciting sport as any one
would care to indulge in. In middle

WHAT ARE THEY THERE FOR?

Promises are easier than their full
fllment. This the so-called progress
sives in this state have learned to
their sorrow. In their last two cam
paigns they made many promises and
boosted as to what they would do if
the people would put them into pow.
or and keep them there indefinitely.
There would be an end to bossism;
laws would be passed to curb the
~rapacity of the trusts; lobbying should
be abolished and many of the latest
reforms instituted. They were placed
in power. The result has been that
bosslsm has been so improved upon
few years appear to have been mere
novices in the art. No trusts have
been annihilated and rs for doing
away with lobbying the few who fol
low that business laugh in their
sleeves when the law is quoted.
The session laws of 1907 was the
latest volume ever turned out by
any of our legislatures. In it are
more laws that are dead letters o. have
been nullified by the courts and the
process of submitting them to refer
endum vote than has happened in
twice the same period heretofore.
What have they done? They are not
pointing with pride to many Of their
acts. Certainly not to their debts.
What are they there for? The loaves
and fishes of the new offices created
and the new places made for close
friends. 1t seems like nearly every
new law that has been passed has had
for its object the placing of some
restriction upon trade or the
discovering of some supposed neces-
sity for police duty, and all these take
men and money to enforce. Some
progress is necessary and some growth
in expenses is to be expected but not
the abnormal ones we have witnessed
in the last few years. If that is what
our friends are there for it Is time
to call a halt and it looks as if the
voters are preparing to do this at
coming primary.

Keeping the American flag clean is
still a subject for discussion before the
committees OF congress. There is a bill
before the house judiciary the object
of which is to prevent desecratlon of
Old Glory. Think of it.. A banner that
has cost so much in blood and treasure
that stands for so much in the way OF
protection and defense; and that ought
to be so dear to everyone who can call
1t his own But the flag is used for
anything from Smiths liver pad to
Johnson's corn salve. And when the
political campaign is on how often
have you seen the m of the can
didates attached. Something has been
done to save the flag from such dis
graces but not enough. There is a
national flag association that is trying
to keep the flag spotless by law. That
ought TO be the bushes of every citi-
zen-Pierre Free Press.

INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATING.

The past week has been epoch max
ing in South Dakota debating. Five
colleges, Hamline university of St.
Paul, the North Dakota Agricultural
college, South Dakota Agricultural col
lege, Dakota Wesleyan and Yankton
college, debated the question OF nation
al versus state control of the child
labor evil on last Friday evening. The
North Dakota Aggies defeating the
South Dakota Aggies on the negative,
and the latter college in turn defeated
Yankton college. At Yankton, the To-
cal team defeated the Wesleyan uni
ersity, again the winning team defend
ed the affirmative. At Mitchell the
home team was again successful in de-
feating the Hamline university aggre-
cation. In the four debates, both the
negative and affirmative won twice.
or the South Dakota colleges, Dakota
Wesleyan and Yankton stand preemi-
nent in debating circles. Both have
a record of six victories out of eight
intercollegiate debates.
intercollegiate debating is the most
valuable activity in which a college
man can engage himself. 1t promotes
self reliance, developes %acuteness, and
builds UP self respect. Perhaps its
most valuable aspect is the training
that the membership on a properly
coached team gives in public speak
ing. The experience itself, of invading
a hostile camp and defending the hon.
or of ones school on the platform is
of itself, a. great training for the
school Of life. Those young men
throughout the state who have had
the privilege to be members of any
n Of these teams, whether he has
been on the winning or losing side,
has occupied a most enviable position.

The strenuous efforts of the insur-

of a story told some years ago about
a reformer, who, one morning during

son of a night out with the boys and

he imagined that he had a corner on
all of the ready money in the state.

he woke up found himself sober, and
dead broke, and had to borrow from
his friends enough to pay his
bills and buy a ticket home.
Our insurgent friends find them
selves in much the same situation,

The Register is pleased to note the
promotion OF A. c. Johnson to the posi-
ton OF passenger traffic manager of

forced recognition as one of the best
railroad men in the country today.
His rise has been rapid and consistent.
In 1884 he Was our neighbor at Ray
mond in Clark county and had charge
OF a fiat house for the Porter Milling
company. At that time he little
dreamed of being so near the head
OF one of the greatest corporations
on this continent; and that this great
corporation should come to South Da-

, AT Valley Forge by William L..
Roberts, takes high rank among war
dramas of the best type. 1t is found
ed on historical incidents and tells
n of the brightest stories of woman's
devotion and courage among the many
such during the revolutionary times.
Miss Anna Cleveland, who heads the
company, is admirably adapted to por-
tray the role of Virginia Preston, the
heroine, whose love for one of Wash
ington's young officers, forms the mo
tive for the play. There are stirring
scenes in this drama, with thrilling
climaxes, but the real interest is in
the courage of the heroine, WHO, when
her letter to her lover is Intercepted,
is arrested as a traitor and u~ndergoes
severe hardships, which end with the
triumph of the continental forces and
the reunion of the lovers. An adequate
company will support Miss Cleveland
and the scenic effect will be particular
ly bright and beautiful. The play will
be presented at the Grand on next
Tuesday evening.
