E. D. Shawver and D. d. Green
lee of Mitchell were arrested a few
days ago for selling and putting up
lightning rods in this county with
out license. They were tried at
Tyndall before Justice j. A. Dvor-
ak of Tabor. Greenlee was ac-
Quilted and Shawver was fined $25
for peddling without a license. The
men represented a firm in Mitchell
which has just started the manu-
facture of lightning rod cable at
that place, and tho case was ap-
pealed in order to make a test case
to determine whether the offense
rightly comes under the peddlers
license law. If it does the firm
claims that it will be put out OF
business. If the courts hold that
the law does apply, then it should
be promptly amended, as it is a
mighty poor way to encourage
home manufacture by such a sys-
tenn of persecution.

The Men and Religion Forward
Movement campaign is in full
swing thruout the country, and
Sioux Falls, as one of the centers
of activity, is hard at work on their
preliminary arrangements.
This movement is not a spas
modic effort leading up to an old
time revival service during the So
called Eight Day Campaign, but a
thoughtful, purposeful, we'll organ
lied campaign to arouse in men
and boys more interest in the
Christian life and in the regular
established activities of church
work. It is a means to relate men
to their local churches, and to
show them how to serve God in
their daily lives.
During the Eight Day Campaign
which occurs in Sioux Falls Octo-
Der 1929, experts in various lines
of religious activity, such as Bible
Study, Missions, Boys Work,
Evangelism, ETC., will hold con-
ferences with the local workers and
endeavor to impart to them the
best methods of obtaining results
in the different departments of
Christian work.
Each of the centers where the
Eight Day Campaigns are held is
expected to reach out into the sur
rounding territory and assist in
stimulating interest and activity in
Christian endeavor. Sioux Falls
will be the only city in this vicinity
to be visited by the national speak
ers, and all churches in the sur
rounding towns are urged to send
delegates to the meetings.

1t must be quite gratifying to
the candidates for congress to re-
alize that they are prohibited from
spending more than $4,000 for
campaign expenses, and senatorial
candidates can not exceed $4,000
These amounts look quite liberal
and yet when one considers that a
candidate for senator from this
state must make two thorough
campaigns, covering a territory Of
over 1000 square miles, and in.
troduce himself to over 100000
voters, it is easy to comprehend
that it is not a poor mans job, ne
matter how capable the rcor man
may be.

.spEcULAnONS FOR SUFFRAGETTEs.

I'd ERHAPs the Geron law will not be on the statute books
liz at least in its present form, when New Jersey shall have
amended its Constitution 50 as 10 give women the ballot,
if that time ever comes. But the possibility. however remote, of
women qualifying as voters under the present system of regstra-
ton in this State raises some interesting speculations. If there is
anything from which the average woman shrinks it is revealing
her age. This feminine instinct is universal. 1t bids defiance even
to the inqusnion of a court of Justice and treats with contempt the
authority of the census enumeration. But the Geran law has a list
of queries for the wouldbe voter registering and one of these is:
what is your age?' How many women in New Jersey would
refuse to answer this question and so bar themselves from the
franchise? There are other queries in the registration catechism
that women might be disinclned to answer, as, indeed, many men
are. For instance, as to the ownership of the house in which the
applicant lives. \ dispatch from Los Angeles, Cal, a State that
has just adopted female suffrage, suggests another difficulty about
getting women 10 register. 1t appears that many of them in that
city refused 10 90 TO he polling places for registration and insisted
on the books being taken to their homes. Under the New Jersey
law in places of over 5000 population personal attendance at the
polls is necessary. How many women in New Jersey would lose
their votes because they were too busy or too Indifferent or too shy
10 visit the polling places on registration days? OF course, it
might be said that a woman who would not take the trouble to
register in person would not be likely to go to the polls to vote.
At all events, it is clear that woman suffrage and New JERSEYS
present election and registration law would be an Unmatched team.

THE SHADOW OF MAGDALA IN TPypOLL

cTTa HERE is Il suggestion of the unfortunate campaign of Italy in
Abyssinia and Magdala in the dispatches that are now com
ing from the seat of war in Northern Africa which tell of
the serious difficulties encountered by the italian invading army in
Tripoli. 1t was at MagdaIa in Abyssinia that Italian arms ss.
tanned a reverse that compelled Italy TO abandon Africa and the
war and which hurt Italian pride and prestige. The hope of Italian
patriots in the present war has been TO retrieve the honor of
Italian arms on the continent, where it was compromised. In the
beginning the conquest of TIipoli looked like a parade, as Italy has
command of the sea. But Turkey has command of the desert and of
its Arab fighters, and Italy is now confronted not merely by rur.
key, but Islam, with the desert as its fortress. Dispatches, bv con
sent of the government, from the seat of war are well censored
and the truth of the situation is revealed only through irregular
sources. The task of Italy evidently has just begun, and Judging
from present aspects it is as grave and momentous as that of
England in South Africa a few years ago, when even the select
household troops and the best captains of England were sent to
save the honor of British arms from a few undisciplined Beers.

George l., Mahr, deputy county clerk,
is generally a pretty -good-natured in
dividual, but a certain law firm in this
city got his goat" the other day when
three times within an hour they sent a
messenger to the county clerks office
with the request for the same informa-
ton in regard to the filing of a certain
suit.
On the third occasion Mr.. Mahr went
to the telephone and called up the law
firm He said; You know we are
always willing to oblige up here, but
after this please do your own book
keeping and keeping track of your
own cases in our own office. You are
not the only law firm N town"
A few minutes lated another office
boy from the same firm Mme to the
widow, Il am from - & IS
Office" he told Mahr. Mahr was ready
to explode, but the boy handed him a
note. 1t was an apology from the Of
Tending law firm. with an explanation
that the mix-up was entirely in their
office.
At the Westinghouse Electrical Com
pany there is a lad whom everyone

DENIAL OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

TN EFERRING to Chief Justice Gummere's opinion that under
Inn the Geran law voters who have not already registered can
not now do so and will be deprived of the privilege of vot
ing. the Trenton Times quotes the Constitution and asks: Has the
Legislature the right to erect IA barrier in his dhe voters) way?
If so, why may it not also pass laws that will deprive other classes
of citizens of the constitutional privilege" That is precisely
what the Legislature has done in other provisions of the act, and
with less reason or Justice. The Constitution guarantees the right
of suffrage TO every duly qualified citizen. The Legislature amends
the Constitution and says that the voter must submit to an ordeal
more or less oHensiNe.to him before he shall be permitted to vote.
Nobody would question the policy of regarding the refusal TO
register on one of three registry days a S a n abandonment of the
constitutional right if the registry was not conducted in an odions
way and if it did not thus virtually serve to deprive classes of
voters Of their suffrage rights.

TO the Editor of the Evening Star;

terest shown at the primaries and
previous registration, is another argu-
ment In favor of an amendment to the
Geran law, If we must have it. In
stead of making the elections more
difficult the statutes should be framed
so as to make the exercise of the right
of suffrage a comparatively easy one.

around it, but there should be gates
that can be opened without expert
manipulation. A. C.

A CHINESE REPUBLIC IMPOSSIBLE.

oTa o he Western mind the attempt to set up a republican form
of government in China would be utterly farcical. The
.AngloSaXon race has been trained in the principles of
popular government by centuries of experiment and by infinite
sacrifices, and ii is far enough yet from the ideal government.
China has had thousands of years of subsection 10 the will of an
imperial master and the masses have never entertained a thought
of any other kind of government, least of all of a government
erected by themselves. To suddenly declare a republic in China and
ask these people TO choose Il constitution and hold elections for
president and legislature would be worse than the sudden enfran.
ehisement of the negro freedmen in the South before they could be
educated out of their dense ignorance and habits of slavery. \
republic in China would simply mean anarchy, to be ended by IA
bloody reaction and a military dictatorship. At the rate of Chinas
progress in the past it will take "A thousand years to make "A
Chinese republic.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The city ordinance prohibiting spit
ting on the sidewalk is faulty in one
great respect. 1t allows the court no
discretion in melting out punishment,
which must be a $40 fine in each case.
1t is a good ordinance, for the ben
eft of the public health, but as in other
ordinances regulating conduct of pc
d%estrians, some discretionary power
should be given to the judge interpret
ing the act. In cases of drunkenness
disorderly conduct the court can
go so far as to suspend sentence.

THE DRAMA IN PARTISAN POLITICS.

IT I is probable that the drama and even the moving picture show
Ii Will be utilized for campaign purposes next year. There is a
prophecy of that in the first production in Philadelphia last
night of a play called Graft which is essentially political. If the
play had been written for a Philadelphia audience it is admirably
suited, for Philadelphia is sunk in political corruption and every
office and department is tainted with graft. the people consenting
and even by their votes approving. But a weapon of this kind is
free for the use of everybody and can be powerfully used to pervert
the truth, mislead the judgment and infame unreasoning passion.
Lovers of the legitimate in dramatic art will also deplore the par
tisan misuse of the stage as Il degradation ofathe drama.
