Once upon time Governor Shafroth
had his legislature pass bill providing
that the taxpayers should pay the cam
paign expenses, or geodly part of it,
of the candidates seeking election to
office. His pet measure was made
short work of by the Colorado supreme
court but Governor Shafroth seems to
be of the same opinion still.
Some time ago he delivered a speech
which 1t is claimed was bid for his T.
lection as United States senator. This
speech was forwarded to Congressman
Taylor who offered to read the same in
the national house but of course the
members of the house did not care
to hear it and gave MIR. Taylor permis.
mission to have the speech printed in
the Congressional Record. When thus
printed. it was mailed to the dear peo
pie of Colorado in Congressman Tay-
or's franked envelopes. The Gear peo.
pie paid for the printing of the speech
and then paid the postage to carry the
speech to those who are expected tc
boost and vote along the line of seating
Governor Shafroth in the senatorial
chair.
Well. there is nothing very strange
about that, Governor Shqfroth was sim
ply carrying out the principle embodied
in his pet twenty-five cent campaign
expense BILL that the people should
pay the campaign expenses and he GER
tainly made il win in this case.
There is no use in getting excited o.
yer little matter like this. We arc
living in the great age OF reforms. 4"
Governor Shafrath has. By this smooth
campaign scheme OF his. establised the
reform precedent that a candidate for
Office In Colorado should not burden his
personal finance with the expense Of
printing and circulating his campaign
speeches. He should prepare his speech
forward 1t to his cong ressman who can
not well refuse to offer TO read il In the
national house and the dear people do
the rest. There is nothing like "re.

High School Literary Society

1t may not have been generally known
that about six weeks ago, the pupils of
the Phillips county high school organ
lied literary society known as the
Philomathean Society.
On last Saturday evening, the mem
bers of this society held an open meet
ing at the school building. The high
school assembly room was crowded to
its full seating capacity and many were
forced 10 stand. A very interesting
program was given by the members Of
the society.
The officers of the society are Jay
Worley president and Howard Crowner
secretary. The program was opened
with an address by the president.
In connection with the work of the
literary society, school paper is being
edited and the first number of this pa
per, the "Searchlight" was presented
as part of the program by Howard
Crowner and viii johnson. The COL
umns of this number Of the Searchlight
were well filled with local news and
witty sayings.
Four Of the young men debated the
question, Resolved that the United
States government should own the rail-
roads" Jay Worley and Ivan Correll
had the affirmative and Walter Riffen-
burg and Ralph Anderson had the neg
ative. The speakers were limited on
the time of discussion and all occupied
the full time allotted them. They all
acquitted themselves in very credita-
BILE manner showing that they had CIV
en- the question considerable thought
and study.
The judges were DR.. Struble, Rob-
ert Johnson and c. W. Sederburg.
Their decision on the debate was two
for the affirmative and one for the neg.
ative.
A number of the young lady members
Of the society gave very true to life
and laughable demonstration Of the
business conducted in a large millinery
store. Misses Dorothy McCarty and
Beulah Baker had charge of the milli.
merry department and handled it in q
manner that would certainly be splen.
did advertisement for them were they
seeking employment in that line of bus
mess.
Good vocal music was furnished by
members of the society. The manner
in which the program was given was
credit to the members of the society.
The high school pupil took very
wise action when they organized this
literary society and, if they make the
most OF the opportunity furnished them
by the society. 1t cannot but prove very
beneficial TO them. II is failing with
many Of our institutions OF learning
AMI even with some universities, that
more attention is not given to this part
OF the pupils training. A text book
education is good as far as II goes but
It does not 20 far enough. II is the
young man who has this and knows
how to use it in taking part in the pub
lie affairs Of life when called upon to
do so, that is fully equipped for sue
eessful work in life. The training CIV
en- the students in the literary society
is calculated to fit them for making
good use Of their book education.

The republicans of Phillips county a.
dopted system of direct primary for
the nomination of candidates for county
office long before either of the old par
ties of the state took up this system.
For several elections, the republican
candidates of the county were all nomi-
mated by direct vote of the members
of the party and all the power the coun
ty convention had in the matter was to
announce and endorse the action of the
majority of the voters of the party.
Under this system, the party conven-
