Annapolis Hazing.

The latest haZing episode at Annapolis
differs from the usual affair of this kind
| in a particular that is rated as most i'm
portant by the authorities. The first
year cadets who were haZed were forced
to go through certain absurd perform
ances in the presence of two young wom-
en- who were visiting in the quarters.
The whole affair is altogether irregular.
In the first place, the rules were vio-
lated in the presence of these fair in
truders in the cadet quarters. Again
their taunts induced the second class
men who conducted the hazing to show
their superior authority by making the
p'ebes stand on their heads and do
mo. 16'' and other stunts of humiliat-
ing and embarrassing character. Now
the officials are after the young men who
conducted the performance for the benefit
of their guests. not because the plebes
were hazed much as because they were
hazed in the presence of women. Hazing
per sc. it appears, is not grave offense.
but haZing in company is intolerable. The
second class men can humiliate the plebes
to their hearts content SO long as they
do not advertise the fact of their infinite
superiority before the world.
In almost every instance of hazing at
not merely the Military and Naval acad-
ernies. but other institutions of education
the second year boys are the oppressors
and the first year. boys are the victims.
It takes full year to get the spirit of re-
ven6e out the nature of the average stu
dent. Having been haZed and humbled
himself n plebe or yearling or fresh
man, he enters upon his second year with
less thoughts for his studies than for his
getting even with his former tormentors
by abusing the boys who are in the class
below him. Much has been said in be-
half of hazing to the effect that 1t is
wholesome discipline for young students
to have the conceit taken out of them
by being forced to do all sorts Of foolish
things. Judging from results. however,
the so-called conceit Of the freshman Is
replaced by something even less desirable
in the sophomore. vengeful spirit, which
is one of the maanest things in the human
makeup. If boy fights the one who has
insulted him he is within his own rights,
but when he takes advantage of an arti-
fetal distinction and imposes upon an in
nocent third person he becomes a tyrant.
There is mighty poor training for future
usefulness or manhood in the system Of
pounding the under classmen because the
FOUNDER was once pounded himself by an
upper claSsman.

| the bureau over the safeguarding Of life IN
factories and other buildings is great. an
some property owners will seek TO. CIR
cumvent the law. / expect every nsan
to be faithful to the city"
New York has suffered some terrible
fires, causing immense property losses and
destroying human lives by the wholesale.
In practically every case laws have been
violated through the accumulation OF
inflammable materials without safeguards
against combustion. and the maintenance
Of fimsy workrooms with aids to GONNA
grafton rather than preventves; nre
escapes made to appear as though the
law were observed, but incapable OF mold
ing weight. stairways and halls crowded
with packing boxes and materials-in
short, every conceivable facility for the
spread of flames and every obstacle to the
quick escape of the occupants. The
owners OF those buildings knew perfectly
well that they were running risks. They
have probably been warned by pubic
authorities again and again, but many of
them had political pulls and they det1ed
the threats of prosecution. Others simply
took gamblers chances on getting through
without disaster. Perhaps to others there
were financial considerations that made
the chances of fire less terrifying tn n
otherwise
Now New York is going to make at
least show OF enforcement Of fire pre-
vention laws. If the new bureau does its
work and Is supported by the courts and
the owners of factories. tenements and
other buildings where people are housed
and employed are compelled to observe
the regulations the annual fire bill in New
York city will probably be very greatly e.
duced. But will the courts support the
bureau? Will the political organization
that rules in that big town interfere
through its known and secret agents with
the enforcement of the law? 1t has done so
on many occasions in the past and 1t may
do SO again. Too much zeal at the top
has caused many public official in a
ring-ruled city like New York to flag
in the performance of his duty while
lives have been lost and property destroy
ed by the element that takes tribute of
human carelessness and avarice.

No EASY" Divorces.
From the CHICAGO necord.HdoAId.

BY questioning closely two women who
sought divorces on the ground Of de-
sertion Judge Richard e. Burke d!scov-
cred that in one case the husband and
wife had agreed to setarate. while In the
other case the husband had asked his
wife to sue for divorce and had offered
to pay part Of the cost. Very properly
the judge refused DEGREES to both appli-
cants. The law does not recognize an
agreement or a mutual desire to sepa
rate as proper grounds for divorce.
Society does not sanction marriages that
are dssolvable merely because a man
and woman are tired Of each other
Judge Burke's action. however. raises the
question Of how many divorces have
been obtained for no other reason, the
collision not being revealed. There are
judges who are very careful about
granting divorces. There are others who
enter DEGREES as quickly as they would
give judgment on an unpaid note, when
no defense Is made.

While the Register has always de
cried automobile speeding and reck

tention or desire TO be unfair with
anyone. In it's write-up Of the re
cent PoOle-Hall accident the Regis
ter did not attach the blame to either
party, it being impossible on short
notice TO get at the facts. Later Mrs.
Poole made a statement Of the case,
as she saw it, and TO be fair in the
matter we have interviewed Mr.. Hall
and the facts of the accident, as he
has a~scertained them after consider
able research, are as follows: The ac-
cident was witnessed by at least FIVE
persons outside of the four parties In
the automobile. The testimony of
these witnesses TO Mr.. Hall was that
his son, driving the automobile,
turned TO the right upon approaching
the Poole rig, but that the rig turned
to the left, in the same direction.
Then the boy turned to the left to
avoid a collision and Mrs. Poole
jumped from the buggy and the
horse turned back directly in the
path of the machine. The collision
stunned the boy so that he lost con-
troll of the machine and 1t shot across
the road to the west, striking q tree
in front of the Ray residence. These
in brief, are the facts a. Mr.. Hall

KIND WORDS FOR BRooKINGs.

The Huron State Spirit in its write
up of the state fair mentions the vari-
Gus Brookings county features as fol
lows:
Eleven hundred people were aboard
the first special train from the east
this morning, bringing the residents
of Brookings, town and county. A
second special had to be run TO ac-
comodate the crowd, this carrying
about 300 people.
All the Brookings visitors are ad
vertising their county fair which is
to be held on the 18th TO 21st Of this
month, urging everyone to go TO that
fair. This is practically the only
county fair in the state still to be held,
and Huron should try TO turn out to
do something in return for the fine at
tendance today.
On the east side of the room are
the displays of Kingsbury, Brook
ings and Hand county schools. That
of Hand county is composed of a
number Of the best drawings and
paintings in the room. Brooklngs
county contains some Of the best free
hand writing Of any exhibit at the
fair for a number Of years, and to-
gether with a number of colored maps
Of the state and United States, which
was done by members Of the sixth
grade. making a very attractive exhib-
it.
Brookings Is the last county exhibit
in the east wing. 1t is large and
artistically arranged and is made up
of the best grains and vegetables.
There are in it wheat. oats. barley.
alfalfa, grasses. corn, beets and all
varieties OF garden truck. The grains
tied in bundles are arranged on a
red background and form a fine exhib-
it, and the other display Is equally
good.

Der of new ones. The outlook is
bright for a most prosperous year, in
spite of the fact that crop conditions

tional studies, returns to her former
position as instructor in English.
Charles F. Schlatter, of La Sale, Ill.,,

assist in the commerce department,
leaving Prof. G. A. Starring time
