FACULTY CHANGES

With the granting Of a leave to
President Perisho of State College,
there are also announced several 9TH
err changes in the faculty. Garrett
Hedge, professor of music, has been
granted a leave of absence on his W
request. Miss Mabel Ward. the pro-
lessor of Home Economics, who has
been so successful with her work has
resigned as she cannot stand u cold
winters. 1t may be that Miss Gather
inc Swift of the same department may
not come back. Miss Virginia Spen-
Ger, dean of women, and her sister,
Miss Bella Spencer, professor of mod
ern languages, have both resigned.
The Register announced some time
ago the departure of Professor M. G..
Bates, head of the English department,
and of B. A. Thompson, associate pro-
fessor in animal ~husbandry. Both Of
these gentlemen have given splendid
service to the college and their places
will be hard to fill. There is also a
vacancy in the position of professor
of public speaking.

i~NDiSCREET TALK

The Sioux Falls Press had an al
legged account a few days ago Of what
the war department intended to do
about sending soldiers to the State
College at Brookings for special train
ing. The Register has known a lot
about this, but out Of respect for the
desires of the war Office, not to give
undue publicity to such things. we
have not and will not give any infor-
nation that as a war necessity the
department deems best should be kept
quiet. The information must have
come from some member of the board
of regents, as the publicity depart
ment of the college as well as the
Brookings papers were warned not to
talk too much. Everybody expects
that the regents are willing to help
the government and it does not need
any newspaper boosting of them to
prove that they are not slackers. We
rather surmise that this is a time
when someone followed the example
of the parrot and talked too much.
The Sioux Falls Press needs a censor
attached to the staff.

HIGH SCHOOLS ANNUAL CONTEST
Brookings The Winner In Oratory Al
College Auditorium

Friday evening at the State Colleg,
auditorium occurred the eighth annu
al %oratorical and ~declamatory contes
of the high schools Of the state. I
was a festive occasion and people from
all over the state were present, som,
to participate and others to lend en-
enlargement. The auditorium was
well filled with these visitors and cit
liens of Bookings. A musical pro
gram was ~interspersed with the
events Of the contest. j. w. Brown
ing, superintendent Of the Hot Springs
schools, presided, and the judges were
C.. p. Sherwood of De Smet, Charles
Alseth Of Lake Preston and Albert
Royhl of Arlington.
The thing that has the main inter.
est to Brookings Is that our own Carl
O'Hair, who represented this part of
the state, was the winner of the first
place in oratory. We are all pleased
at this elimination of the evening and
as it brings honor to the city as well
as the contestant and his teacher, we
see in 1t a testimonial to the efficien-
cy of u own public school system.
The second place in oratory was
awarded to Oliver Hooper of Mobridge.
In dramatic speaking the highest
honors went to Miss Winnifred Brew
er of Woonsocket, and the second to
Miss Muriel Guerber Of Yankton.
Gold and silver medals were given to
the first and second winners in each

testant in each class represented.

more does it appeal to the logical

MONEY FOR RED CROSS

Minnehaha county has appropriated
money to pay the quota of the county
for the Red Cross campaign. Brown
county commissioners appropriated
100000 for the same purpose, and 9th

is it that BrOokings county cannot fol-
low suit and make this national neces-
sity a legitimate expense upon the
county? The law provides for it.

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-12-22

supposed to be made out and iileS
with the county clerk, and 1t wa
the duty of the county clerk to SCI
that they were made out in ac'
cordance with law, before they were
submitted to the Commissioners
that this defendant has no personal
recollection OF said accounts ever
having been submitted while he was
present, but ii they were, he alleges
tina, he relied upon the county
clerk TO fulfill his duties with ref
erence thereto; that as there is no
complaint but what the money was
Justly due the engineer, the proper
veriiication would cure this error.
Advised by Town Representative
Answering the charge under
Count No. Z, that this defendant
drew more than the annual salary
allowed to Commissioners, to-wii,
the sum OF $1+7.6S, when he should
have drawn 100000, this defendant
alleges that by act OF the legisla-
ture OF 1917, the annual salary OF
County Commissioners was changed
so as to be payable according To
the population OF the county. and
that said Board OF County Com
miSsi6ncrs were advised by the
member OF the legislature from this
county, to-wit, Mr.. Shores, that
they were entitled under said law
TO draw an additional salary accord
ing to the population OF the county,
that the population could only be
estimated, as no census had been
taken; that this defendant has since
been informed that this salary was
not allowable until a census had
been taken, and he stands ready and
willing to refund the excess amount
so collected by mistake.
Ready to Refund Money
Answering the charge contained
under Count s, that during the fis-
cal year beginning July. 1917. and
ending June S0th. 1913, that this de-
fendant and the other commissions
ers filed claims for compensation
Tor road and bridge work IN addl-
ton to their own duties, as such
commissioners, when they should |
have collected $500 per day for not
exceeding forty days in any one
year, this defendant says that the |
Board of County Commissioners
conferred with the State Auditor
and they understood that the said |
auditor approved said claims as be-
ing Just and equitable and leg.l,
md that they were further informed
~ the said auditor that the matter
had been corrected by some kind of
4 judgment in the district court,
but as this defendant is not a law
yer, he is unable to further explain
his transaction, except to say that
II the event it should be held that
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-12-22

he received an excess amount owe
and above what he was justly en-
titled to, he stands ready and willing
to refund the same; that II wa'
merely an error OF judgment as &c
the amount OF compensation he was
legally entitled 10 for such yer
vices.
Payment Clerical Error
Answering the charge Under
Count q that on or about the 2Sth
day OF July, 1918. the County Excise
Board set apart the sum OF 10000
to cover the salaries oi said commis-
sioners, and expenses thereof, for
the year ending June 3Oth, 1918, and
that this defendant filed three
claims aggregating $l50.65 for ser
vices rendered during the fiscal
year ending June S0th, 1917, and
caused the same 10 be paid ont OF
the 1913 appropriation, this defend
ant says that there is no charge
against him that said claim was I'M
just or illegal but that it was paid
out oi the wrong funds, that he has
no personal recollection at this
time how this occurred, and there
fore alleges that this was probably
a clerical error in charging the war
rant on the particular fund out OF
which this money was 10 be paid,
but ii it is finally determined that
he is Justly indebted to the county
in any sum, by reason thereof, he
stands ready and willing to cor
rect the same.
Often Called County Attorney
Further answering, this defend
ant says that when he qualified
as county commissioner. in Janu-
airy. 1917, he had had no experience
in this character OF work, was not
an attorney, and was compelled to
rely upon the judgment OF others
as to the proper course to pursue
under the law; that the chairman OF
the Board, Mr.. Young had
served several years on said
Board OF County Commission
erS, and was presumed TO be
advised about all OF these matters,
and upon whom this defendant re-
lied Tor correct advice by the said
Board; that they frequently called
in the county attorney, who gave
them oral opinions on the proper
course to pursue, and they follow
ed said opinions; that prior to the
filing OF these accusations against |
him, he was offered immunity from
such charges, il he would tender
his resignation as such commits
sioner, but that he insisted that
said charges be made public so that
the people OF this county might
know what they were, and hear his
OF same; that in the
performance of his duties he has
