STATE LAW

: The Duluth Herald, in an article dc
scribing some of the election practice
n New Zealand. says:
Recently, through the writings
of one Hugh II. Lusk, there has
come to light II hitherto unher-
aided practice of the New Zea-
landers that is nothing more or
less than the application Of nat
ural law to politics.
Ii is Il law of nature that a
power which is allowed to remain
unused is thereby sacrificed. This
principle the New Zealanders have
applied to the right of suffrage.
MIR. Lusk explains that the lists Of
legal voters r made UP in adj
vance of the election. and these
name + checked off at the polls
ON election day. Those whose
names arc on the list but remain
unchecked, because they did not
vote. arc thereby barred from
voting at the next election unless
they can go before the courts and
show satisfactory reasons for not
having exercised the right of the
franchise at the previous election.
The plan could not. of course.
be adopted in this country without
a radical change in our national
constitution. But it raises an in
teresting question of just how
much Il man r. for his vote.
If YOU knew that voluntary alb.
sence from the polls at one cleo
tion would bar you from partici-
patton in the next one. whatever
it might be. would you be any
more careful about being sure to
exercise your right whenever tho
opportunity offered?
1t would at least be interesting
to try the scheme out in this coun-
try and see just how highly some
of our respected citizens value
this privilege that was won for
them by the shedding of the blood
of their forefathers.
Tho Duluth paper is mistaken. Til,
lght Of franchise is governed purel,
y state laws. The national constitu,
has nothing to do with it save tina
provides that no person shall be de,
rived of the franchise because O.
AGE. color or previous condition o,
ervitude. With that exception a stat,

aes fit with reference to the matter

lay vote. 1t may make voting OPP

Just splendid, but Snowflake

Last Friday few Of the boys

President David K. Udall of the
St. Johns Stake, came through
here on Monday, he was on his

gray hairs to be seen in his beard
than when we saw him last.
Last Friday afternoon the
teachers went with the pupils for
a walk. Crossing the river at the
dam they went up to Wild Cat,
they did not find the cat however
but they found the porcupine,
after which discovery they decid-
ed to return, and wishing to take
a shorter road than the one they
came they went down to the river
where they found place where
the sun had dried the top of the
mud so that the smaller children
went over all right, but alas for
the more weighty ones, they were
too heavy for the thin crust and
the teacher in attempting to as
sist others broke through and
went down, and it was supposed
for some time that he had gone
to China and some were on the
point of hurrying to the phone
office to notify the Celestials to
be on the lookout for him. At
about this juncture a young man
appered on-the bank and getting
a pole managed to get out to the
unfortunate man and succeeded
in pulling him out. But O! what
a change the nice suit that he had
on had undergone, a wonderful
change. The accident however
was enjoyed by the children for
more than by the teacher, but he
did not complain, as the one he
was assisting was as bad off as he
was. We were told that some of
the girls lost their slippers in the
mud. The Colorado mud is not
to be fooled with.

unusual athletic activity. The
basket ball team has been put
ting the finishing touches on it's
practice before the first game
which comes off at the end of
the week. Tuesday evening a
game was played between the
'Freshies" and the "Sophs. +"
The game was a hard fought
contest. For a while it looked
as if the light weights would
carry off the laurels but before
the last half was finished the
heavy mems weight began to
count and as result the game
went in their favor. The final
score was 11-17, Sophomores.
1t would be noted that very eff
fcient work was done on the
side lines by the belligerent
forces assembled as we'll as by
the senior, who under the able
coaching of Professor M. A. did
some very digniied roofing.
Six of the following athletes
will defend our basket ball honor
at ST. Johns: Bushman, l..
Brimhall, Hunt, R. Jennings,
Turley, G. Smith, and N. Rogers.
The team will leave Friday NOR
ming for St. Johns where they
will be according to st. Johns
information) most severely hum
bled. We will say that this was
also the case last year, before
the game. There are a number
of other games scheduled for
this team. Some will be played
on the home grounds while others
will be on foreign courts.
The excellent remarks of DR..
Smith to the boys on Eugenics
were very instructive and inter-
esting to all. Such lectures help
very materially in supplying the
need of the lectures of travelling
speakers which our isolation
rlakes it impossible to obtain.
T The small room which was
thought large enough to serve
as study hall until our assembly
room is finished has proved en-
tirely inadequate to the needs.
Yet through the efforts of the
faculty and the excellent spirit
of the students the miracle is
being effected-a large class
room is made a comparatively
efficient study hall for a hundred
students. We are, however, in
/ formed that this week is surely
the last in the temporary study
room for the large cOmmodious
assembly hall and, in fact, the
whole building is almost entirely
complete. Just watch us fill the
large room when we are allowed
the privilege.

There are some things that a
level headed human being
should never do. Among
these is to kindle a fire with
kerosene oil, to walk on a rail
road, to attempt to get on a

his name on another mans note,
to keep his savings in an old
stocking under the bed, to play
a game of chance with a pre-
