Should the management Of any of the

the city Tuesday evening It is q mortal
certainty that their guess would have
been that their combined clown force
was out for the evening. To one DOT
acquainted with the situation this
would have been their first thought,
but the facts In the case were that
twelve of the young gentlemen of the
city, In order to make partial return
for the social favors accorded them, had
sent out about one hundred and twenty
I've invitations for clown dance, each
lady and gentleman to be costumed in
this manner on Tuesday evening, and q
larger per cent were accepted.
About eight-thirty the couples began
to arrive and by nine O'Clock the hall
was packed with jolly throng of dan
Gers. There were short clowns, long
clowns, vide clowns. and thin clowns.
everybody feeling like q clown, but
having the time Of their lives.
At tsn-thirty the masks were removed
and many were the expressions Of sur
prise from the fact that the similarity
Of the costumes had caused many to be
taken for other people, but of course
this is the secret in the success OF
masking. Shortly after uumasking q
flash light picture of the crowd was
taken and dancing then resumed. AT
the close Of the evening 1t was the uni
versal expression that this event had
been tho one big time this year. over
shadowing anything thus far.
Magee's orchestra furnished the
music and the time passed so quickly
that when twelve O'Clock came hardly q
couple had left the hall and 80 another
hour was tackled onto the regular danc

Will Be GOOD
FOR STATES
LEADERS FAVOR COMMISSION
PLAN FOR DAKOTA.
TO LABOR FOR ADOPTION
TASK CONSIDERED A HUGE one, AS
HMAY NECESSITATE A CHANGE
In CONSTITUTION OF U. s.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Feb, 9th. Be-
lieving that If the commission form of
government is good for cities, as has
been demonstrated In number of the
cities Of the Uaited States, it also will
b. good for states, the democrats Of
South Dakota, at an official meeting Of
representatives of the party, have de.
clared themselves in favor of the com.
mission form OF government being
adopted By South Dakota in the man.
agsment of its affairs.
Inssmuch as to substitute the COM
mission form of government for the
present legislature may necessitate
q change in the constitution of the
United States, or an amendment to
that instrument the democrats of the
state realize that the task to which
they have assigned themselves is no
small one, but they will labor unceas-
H. <ly to the end that a sentiment may
be created in the United States favor
able to the proposition, SO the neces.
ssry two-thirds of the states will give
their approval to an amendment to the
federal constitution empowering such
states as wished 20 do so to do away
with their legislative bodies and sub
stitute therefor commission of a Ger.
tain number of men, from five to ten,
who would have the full management
Of the business of the state.
PLACE HOPE IN TEST CASE.
The democratic leaders who are be-.
hind the movement have hopes that il
test case was carried to the supreme
court of the United States it might be
decided by that body that q commits.
sion form Of government for states
would come within the meaning of that
section of the federal constitution
which requires q representative for m
OF government for states, and that an
amendment might not, therefore, be
necessary. The Iowa supreme court
some months ago rendered decision
which might be taken to imply that a
commission plan for states might be
unconstitutional, but it is believed by
the democratic leaders who favor the
cnange that the decision of the Iowa
court might have no bearing on the
view of the matter which would be
taken by the supreme court Of the
United States.
Those behind the movement tu
change from legislative to commits.
sion form Of state government express
the belief that the proposal OF the
South Dakota democrats will In time
receive serious consideration, not only
In Souih Dakota, but in other states as
we'll. They further believe that it ie
question of time until all the states
of the union are governed by q com.
mission.
In view of the fact that the voters OF
South Dakota will this year have sub.
mitted to them the proposition OF
authorizing the holding Of state con.
sLitution convention, for the purpose
Of taking steps to amend and alter the
state constitution in such respects ae
may be deemed necessary, the advo.
