In order to devote all his time to
his duties as lieutenant governor and
chairman of the senate welfare COM
mission, O'Hara resigned the editor
ship of the Chicago Magazine one
month ago.
About the same time, seven ma
tional magazines offered him large
sums of money to write such an arti-
Gle as the one now running in the
Chicago Magazine, and one cash Of
fer of $4,000 for manuscript under
his signature was rendered him.
O'Hara turned all the offers down,
explaining that he felt that he could
not personally profit from the sorrow
and striving of the womanhood of
Illinois, nor his own crusade against
the evil with which it has been af-
flicted. ...
Now he is writing the story of the
welfare commission for the Chicago
Magazine, and has refused to accept
one cent from the publishers.
And O'Hara's profession is that Of
a writer and journalist.

D'HARA'S STORY, 1.-THE WAR ON
q THE SCARLET DEVIL-FISH"
: Lieut.. -Gov. Barratt O'Hara begins
the story of "The War on the Scarlet
Devil-Fish" in the May number of the
Chicago Magazine
1t is the story of the discoveries of
the senate welfare commission, treat
ed editoriaIly, and will be completed
in six installments.
In the first instaIlment, O'Hara
tabUlates the reasons for the exist
ence of what he calls "the scarlet
devil-fish" as follows:
Low wages to women.
Low wages to men.
Child labor.
Intemperance.
Ignorance.
Wretched housing conditions.
Disreputable dance halls.
Suggestive fiction and songs.
The arrangement of that tabula-
ton is significant.
II " nara STORY OF the WOrk OF the
senate welfare commission may be
judged by the first instaIlment, it will
be a temporarily written, illuminat-
ing contribution toward the solution
of one of our greatest problems.
There is no bitterness in the arti-
Gle, none of the rancor that might be
expected from man who has been
so reVf1ed by the forces of evil for
what he has done.
Those who really desire to get the
spirit of the senate welfare commits
sion in its investigation of all the va
rious causes of vice, cannot do better
than read O'Hara's own story of it.

limember that 0'Hara is writing it at

MONEY OF RICH COUNTY
DOESN'T ATTRACT BANKS

Trip, S. D., Jan. 11-While it is
known that the people Of southeastern
South Dakota are prosperous and not
heavy borrowers, 1t is not often that
$4,000 goes begging for want of APP
pltcatton for its use, as Is the case of
the funds of Hutchinson county. In
this county notice was given by the
county auditor that applications to act
as repositories OF county FUNDS would
be received up to certain date of the
January meeting of the board of coun-
time there were but two or three bids
or applications in for funds, then
amounting to $46, 900, and at times rum
ming to over 100000. The commission
ers tthereup6n adjourned for dinner
without having opened the bids, believ-
ing that other bankers of the county
who were present would take advant-
age of the interval and ask to be desig-
mated as repositories Of the balance of
the funds, but when they met again to
open the bids, they found to their
amazement that the banks bidding had
withdrawn their applications. The
commissioners Immediately ordered the
auditor to readyertise. believing that
there were banks in the state that could
use and would be glad to make appli-
cation for the funds.
Hutchinson county is settled largely
by prosperous German and German
Russian farmers while along the James
river are some half dozen Mennonite
colonies, rich and prosperous and liv-
ing lives OF ideal simplicity. Their
taxes frequently amount to from $500
to 81 900 a colony. Individual taxpayers
who pay from $3.50 sto $500 are not UNI
common.
