Eight rollcalls were held, Drake
himself asking permission each
time to be excused from voting.
Seven of the votes were held

Read Your Paper.

"To live as a member of the great white race of man, to share it's
thoughts and its aspirations, it is necessary that a man should read
his newspaper" said U 5. Senator Sterling, of South Dakota, in an
address to the students at the University of South Dakota. 1.-THE
newspaper" he continued, "has ONE to be Indispensable. 1t goes
and penetrates everywhere. 1t has been said of the newspapers that
they n to the whole civilized world what the daily house talk is to
the household; they keep our daily interest in each other; they save
us from the evils of isolation. II like to go back to the splendid
principle on which the fine structure rests. And that principle is
the freedom of the press. Our forefathers must have had the gift of
prophecy in regard to the press; they must have foreseen to what
power and influence it would come. They had no dread of publicity
of official acts or motives. They had faith in the ultimate triumph
of truth. Jefferson was willing that error might be presented if
truth could only be left free to combat it. He was opposed to a GEN.
sorship of the press, and said that if he must choose between a gov
eminent without newspapers and newspapers without a government
he would prefer to risk the newspapers without the government He
believed that public opinion would measurably correct things if pub
lie were left free, but that government without a free expression of
public opinion would soon become a despotsm"

Reads Like Common Sense.

(Communicated) For several years past radicalism has been
pre-eminent in the national life. The press has been bombarded
with all sorts of propaganda prothis and pro-that. Questions of vi
tai Importance to the nation have been relegated to the rear to make
room for the fad of some politician Or organization, and all kinds of
governmental schemes have spread over the country with alarming
rapidlty. Not all OF this propaganda has had the basis of truth. Big
business organizations have been known to bring O n contests spch as
prohibition or woman's suffrage in states which had not been prepar.
ed through a campaign of education to vote inteligently on the adop-
ton or rejection of such proposed laws. In the meantime the organ
ization which brought about the contest, safe in the secusiop in
which the apparently more important movement shrouded them.
have been able to secure legislation of tremendous importance to
their special interest. But the people are no longer being fooled nv
the radicals. Voters are going more slowly about the adoption of
a W that tend to upturn their entire economic status.
The prohibition question was slated for several states. but wissr
heads prevailed, and these states postponed the contest until Ohio
passed again on the question, realizing that the Buckeye state held
millions of dollars invested in the liquor business and that the deci
sion of the voters of tnat state would not be made lightly. This is
as it should be. Reforms must come slowly in great bodies. No
matter how desirable a law may SO m, it should not be forced on an
ignorant public by fanatics or radicals. 1t is only through caref,I
study and step-by-step that we can make substantial and lastino
progress.

Another Cry Against Jury.

In the case of Rienzi O Dickens, tried at Boulder. Colo tho
past week for the killing of his father, the jury reached a verdict of
second degree murder. This case has been more than sensational
from many points of view, but we feel that the most sensational fo
ture of it was the verdict of the jury. Second degree murder for a
man who deliberately premeditated the murder of his own father and
then shot him through the back at night, firing through a window
with a rifle. This son was held to be the murderer and if ia
an evident fact to the most lay mind that this man is guilty of the
most deliberate cold FLOODED murder in The annals of the yea or ba
is absolutely innocent of the crime. Which, guilty or innocent us
would not attempt to say, but the fact still remains to us that this
man ID guilty IN the first degree, or not guilty at all. 1t could not
be part way.
Jury verdcts have been condemned for many years and this will
probably raise another cry against the jury system.
