the number of immoral plays given in
our theaters is not a majority, there
are instances where the character OF
the play calls for severe condemnation;
and we would make the appeal to the
theater going public to express their
condemnation of any questionable
theatrical representation, first, by re
fusing to attend it if there is the least
question about 1t in their m1nds; anu
second to register their condemnation
of any plays the character of which
may not be what they should be by
rising up and going out of the theater
whenever anything is presented IN
dialogue or scene which is suggestive
immoral, or debasing. We believe the
managers of all theaters and places of
amusement should be held strictly to
account for the great position which
they hold in the community. The
damage done to young life and all me
for that matter by degrading theatrical
representations whether through pic
lures dialogue or scenic form is dam
age which is incalculable. A civilized
community like ours ought to protest
in every possible way against the de-
moralization which comes from de-
graded or degrading theater- The
ministers and this committee in par
ticular face difficulty in mentioning
any particular plays by name. The
naming of it advertises it and if 1t
really is undesirable secures for it an
! attendance; thus in many cases
thwarting the very purpose for which
! the protest is made. In the long run
we believe the most efficient protest
| that can be made by the people of To-
peka against indecent or suggestive
plays or pictures is by the patrons of
the theater boycotting them severely
whenever such plays are attempted in
this town. No censure can be too Sc
we're upon those who attempt to per-
vert, for money, the minds and i'm
aginations of the people. The man
/ ayers of theaters in this city who are
guilty of this sort of wickedness should
/ be socially ostracized, and the entire
/ city should know and feel the disgrace
! which comes to any man or woman
old or young who attends any plays
about which there is any possible
/ question. The knowledge that they
/ have been to such a play and paid
/ their money to see 1t should be evil
/ dence of the fact that they have so lost
4 public spirit and a sense of public de-
cency that they are no longer entitled
to the name of a decent citizen. We
can not guard too closely the sources
of amusement for the people. nor in
sist too emphatically upon the purity
and high motive of those who have the
amusement of the people in their
charge.

A NEW FARM PAPER.

The Orange Judd company, which
recently bought the Minnesota and
Dakota Farmer, published at Brook
Farmer at Aberdeen. The price paid
for the latter is said to be $500, 900,
based on a net profit last year of
100000. The Orange Judd company
are dickering with the Commercial
club Of Aberdeen in regard to locating
their new farm paper there. which
probably will be done. The company
promises a $250,000 plant and to EN-
ploy more than a hundred people. The
Orange Judd company had better
come down to Big Stone and locate.
A few years ago the Cosmopolitan
magazine deliberately moved out of
New York City to a country place
called Irvington on Hudson, in order
to get plenty Of room, and establish
their plant where their employees could
live in hygenic surroundings, and
cheaper. And the people connected
with the enterprise could plant both
feet on the surface of Mother Earth.
If this We're a good thing for a
literary magazine to do, it ought to
be doubly good for an agricultural
paper to get next to the soil.
The advertising in its northwestern
field hat such a movement would
give the paper would be worth more
to it than the paltry $4,000 worth of
business it asks of Aberdeen as a bon
us for locating there, and the good
feeling that such a step would insure
among the farmers OF the northwest
would be an asset we'll worth consid-
alton.
The opportunity is here, with soil,
light, air and water. Beautiful sur
roundings, and a picture from every
window.-Big Stone Headlight.

MADE GOOD A

A Mitchell dispatch says that one
of the good roads demonstrations
made from money paid into the town
ship treasury, instead of working
out the road tax, is shown in Mitch
ell township, and which was worked
out through the efforts of Jack Lev
ings. the supervisor of road district
No. q.
Instead of having the farmers come
with their teams to work ou their
road tax, which custom has been fol
lowed since time immemorial. Mr..
Levings induced the residents in his
district to pay over in cash the
amount Of this road tax, and he guar
anteed them that he would make a
80 per cent better showing than If the
roads were worked under h old sys-
TEN. The farmers accepted the pro
position of Mr.. Ievings last spring
and during the summer season he
built up the roads in Thai district so
that they are in the finest possible
condition.
Mr.. Levings makes the following
report of the receipts and expenses:
Received from A. b. Seaton, $4.25;
George Blackman, S8.75; James Kim
BILE, $4.3S; Loving & Co, $23; W
f. Sueidmeier, $12.42; Louis Stahl,
20; d. T. Denmead, $25.23; J. c. Stahl,
$2O.51: o. E. Cassem, $27.77; j. T.
Monoun, 1855; NJ. and c. b. Allen,
$S.05-total, $164.01. Bernard & Giles
for gas engine, $40; Bert jerks for
stabling house, $3.50; Ross Rathbun.
surveying, 1881, a total of Sl55.96,
and leaving a balance of $500.
The amount of work done was PA
miles, between section Z and 8, one
ha flmile; between sections s and II,
one mile; between sections 9 and 10,
three-quarters of a mile.
Mr.. Levings stated that this work
was done with the aid of a gas IN
CINE in ten days, but if worked out
under the old system 1t would have
required at least twenty days to fin
ish it using six teams, and at a cost
of nearly three or four times as much
as the present road work cost, and
done at least so per cent better.
This method Of road working am
ply demonstrated the system that is
being tried to incorporate into law
for the benefit of the country road
grading. With the money paid into
the treasury, and then spent judici-
ously, Mr.. Levings said that three
miles of roadway could be made every
year and it would be built in a way
that it would last longer than the hap
hazard roads which have been built
in former years. 1t is evident from
the showing made by Mr.. Levings that
in the future the farmers in his dis
trict will gladly avail themselves of
the opportunity to pay their road tax
in cash, and have the roads worked
out in a way to obtain the best and
most lasting results. There are many
other townships and districts that
would benefit by trying the same prop,
o%sition, and it is to be hoped that
the legislature will incorporate into
a state law the provision that the
road taxes shall be paid in cash in
stead of permitting the old system
of having them worked out.
