may be conducted in evasion Of those
laws. There seems to be but one pos
siOIe escape. That is that the public
shall pay all the expenses of all the
parties and all the candidates. and
the expenditure Of any money, how
ever small in amount, by anyone
running for Office or anyone interest
ed III the candidacy of anyone for Of
nee snail be felony heavily punish
able. Applied to elections generally
first step in the interest of SIMPLE
ity and economy would he the reduc-
ton OF elective offices to an 'irreduc-
lIe mlnlmum"-tO adopt the short
ballot. The community now pays for
the printing Of tickets. for judges and
clerks, for the booths and registra-
ton books, the rent Of polling places.
etc. 1t would not be u great step for
ward to pay the expenses of the can
didates from filing fees to railroad
fares. The state could have the pri1
maries and elections in public schools
or other public buildings and it could
throw them open for the meetings of
all parties and candidates. 1t could
publish the claims of each candidate
for office, i'll an official publication,
as now in Oregon the state publishes
the arguments for and against consti-
tutional amendment proposals. 1t
could send such Il publication to ev-
cry registered voter. Relieved Of the
expense Of renting halls and paying
for printing, the candidate could ex-
pend little else in legitimate way,
though there might be left some lee
way for private expenditure, rigidly
limited and guarded, with severe pen
allies for excess in expense. This
would put the poor man on a level
with the rich man in making Il can.
vass for primary or election. 1t
would relieve all candidates of the
necessity of going to big interests or
the representatives of big interest for
money with which to make Il race.
Unless the public is willing to bear
the expenses Of elections to such an
extent it does not seem possible that
we shall ever getaway from the scam
dial Of the financing Of elections bv
Standard Oil and other interests. If
we cannot keep those interests from
helping candidates, we cannot keep
the elected officers from repaying
such help to their private fortunes in
gifts and privileges that rob the pub
lie revenues and the purses of the
people at large.

j. GIRLS
from Participating in
Debate

Vermillion, Dec. GA mass meeting
of all the young women students of the
University of South Dakota was held
in the chapel for the purpose of forming
a Woman's Student organization.
For a long tine il has been evident
that too much attention has been paid
to athletics and debates for men and
little if any toward activities for
women. The matter came to a climax
when ON November 90 the debating
board of control voted to exclude women
from the regular intercollegiate de
bates. One young woman. Miss Mar
garet Reeves. had worked very hard
for several weeks preparing for the pre-
liminary debates and is now barred
from competing with the men debat-
ers.
The board offers as a compromise a
possible debate in which only girls
shall participate. The sentiment
against the action of the hoard Is very
strong.

DEUEL. County Farmer Steal.
Stock While Mentally
Unsound

Clear Lake, Dec. 6.-During the past
year the authorities Of Deuel. county
have been greatly puzzled by the mys-
terious disappearance from time to
time of cattle and horses from different
farms. Evi lence now has been secured
which solves the mystery and shows
that John Dobrey. a mentally un-
sound farmer, was responsible for the
disappearance. The latest victim of
Dobrey's penchsnt for APPROX, iating
the stock Of other farmers was Henry
Elliott, from whose pasture a valuable
colt disappeared recently. The latest
theft vas reported to Sheriff Arnold,
who Immediately got busy.
A food Of amateur detectives from
the surrounding region also took up the
trail of the thief, but the sheriff was
the person who traced the stolen colt
to Dobrey's barn. In the barn also
vas found q horse which mad been
stolen from q farmer named Fred Kru.

purchasers III adjoining tates. Owing
to the mental condition of Dobrey no
