REMODELING THE
COURT HOUSE

Fort Pierre Fairplay. Sta n ey
County's court house is being given
a thorough overhauling. 1t has been
found repeatedly that architects and
designers have meager ideas as to the
fitness OF things when it comes to
practical utility and the first floor of
the building referred to has heen a
bright and shining example ever since
it was constructed.
While the custom has never been
put into practice, those who haYe
had business with the county officers
heretofore were supposed to step up
to labeled window on the east side
if they wished to converse with the
clerk of courts or the register of deeds
or the county judge, and then step
over to window on the west side,
probably closed, IL they wished to paw
their taxes to the county treasurer or
find out something from the county
auditor.
These windows have been eliminat-
ed, the partitions have been moved
ont several feet, cutting off just that
much corridor, and furnishing more
room in the offices, and other changes
are being made which will greatly
facilitate the handling OF the county
work in practically all the busiest de-
partments.
Ed Hill and Charlie Akerman are
doing the carpenter work and Carl
Wagner has charge of the plastering.
Auditor Quigg claims the distinction
of agi:ating the matter until he made
the commissioners and others see the
practicability of the idea, and it will
certainly give more room where the
room is needed, and be much better
all around.

failed with the general conditions as
they exist in South Dakota, but the
location of the field was something he
was ready to allow someone else to
locate before he attempted to get in
to the field for active work.

Mention Of the owner Of the To
peka Capital reminds the Press Blu
reau Of an item which appeared IL
the society columns OF the Topeka
State Journal for Thursday evening
November 18th, which was as follows
The Tango class viii meet tonight
at McRea's Hall for their fortnightly
dance. The members expect to form
e Club the first Of the year and hold
dances every month" Then follows
a list f the names, among which we
find that Of Arthur Capper.
Mind You, the Press Buneau Is not
criticising Mr.. Capper for learning to
dance the Tango. We imagine that
should he ever be a candidate again
a few graceful exhibitions Of his
skill as a Tango dancer wan be one
great help as votegetter.
More than two hundred rampant
Progressives from more than fifty

While ON the subject OF "misrepre-

While ON the subject OF "misrepre-
sentation" it will be remembered in
the early days of the Hodges admin
iStration, the Capital printed a story
to the effect that the LeaVenworth
jointists had contributed a large sum
OF money to a fund raised to help
pay the expenses Of defending Gov
eruor Hodges title to the office.
The Governor called this matter to
the attention x Attorney General
Dawson who investigated the mat
ter and reported that the article was
"A tissue Of falsehoods from first to
last" and that it was not written by
the Capitals regular correspondent
from Deave0worth, giving rise to the
inference that the story was concoct
ed in the Capital office in Topeka.
Mr.. Capper refusing to disclose the
name Of the writer of the article,
the Attorney General closed his re-
port to the Governor with the state
ment that he did not press the hives
tigation further, because the law
gave him no authority ITO issue sub
poenas merely for the purpose Of IN
covering liar, and holding him up t.
public execratiou." If anybody has
right to complain Of misnepresenta-
ton, it is Governor Hodges and not
Arthur Capper.
Among the Misrepresentation with
which Governor Hodges stands charg-
ed BY the Topeka 'straddle bug in
its issue Of November 18th, ON the
front page, IS the following: The
prohibition movement is stronger in
Kansas than ever. A vast majority
Of our citizens believe IN the strict.
est law enforcement"
Mr.. Capper's paper quotes this as
a Misrepresentation.
Not long ago one Of Mr.. Capper 3
went to California, and IN
a lengthy interview there declared
that the prohibition law IN Kansas
was a ludicroB farce. Now comes
the dear old Capital itsef, and by
