The spiritualst associa tion's principles of philanthrophy and it's belief in the golden rule would ap- ply to the Masonic order. the Elks, the Rotary club, or the Boy Scouts and like organizations, none of which are considered religious organizations. Even if the purposes of this organiza- ton are religious in their nature. it is difficult to see how the practice of giving readings or telling fortunes concerning the mating inclinations of men and women could be religious in any sense.

 This medium, while in trance and assuming to speak for Minneha- ha, told Bessie Jones, whom she sun posed to be love-lorn girl. that she would soon meet an attractive blond boy and that later a brunette would suppant him in her affections that she would eventually marry man of wealth, etc. All of which sounds very peculiar to this court. It seems like Gypsy fortune teller, or the reading of the palm by some wrinkled old hag, or the interpretations of crystal gazer in a freak sideshow
 Doubtless it was this species of hypocrisy and legerdemain that the statute was intended to suppress. An innocent practice or entertainment of a religious nature or not, may be regulated or suppressed where the tendencies and temptations to nervert it into evil channels are mani feet, and where the evil is likely to oyerbalance the good Phantastic and religious zelots. like Jther people, must conform to whole some police regulations

Thought Sleuth LoVel0rn Girl.

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 2S.- Mrs. L. D. McMaster, a Oklahoma City medium, has been barred from further practice of her profession in this state.
 Bessie Jones, a clerk in the office of the county attorney, arranged for a reading" and though Mrs, Nc Masters received a spirit messa ge from Minnehaha to the following eff feet
 You are going to meet a blond fellow--a blond headed fellow - and also a black headed fellow, and this blond. headed fellow will come between you and the black headed fellow. You are going to marry a wealthy man"
 The attorney for Mrs. McMasters sought to save her from conviction on the ground that the state prohibits interference with the free exercise of religious beliefs and practices and that she is a member of the National Hpiritualist association, inc. and has had a license to give spiritual advice to others but Justice Bessey of the criminal court of appeals refused to take that view of it.

Journalism Meet
Scores Big Hit

Eighty-two high school paper edit
orS, business managers and faculty ad-
visors of South Dakota were brought
together at State college last Weck
by Paul w. Kieser, agricultural editor,
TO discuss the rcll purpose OF the nigh
school paper, to consider some OF the
most pressing problems of these pub
LEGATIONS and to find out what journal
ism has to offer the high school stu
dent of today. The meeting was an
unqualified success and resulted in the
organization Of the South Dakota High
School Press association, which voted
unanimously to return to State college
for the next annual meeting. Several
South Dakota newspapermen attended
the meetings. One Of them, Editor
Vern Pratt Of the Elkton Record,
says: "The day was crammed with
good things from beginning to end and
will long be remembered by those for
tunate enough to attend. The high
school editors who attended could not
help but return to their work filled
with enthusiasm and a fuller realiza-
ton of what it means not only to them
selves but to all who read their publ
cations. In fact it vas an inspiration
to all who were present to do their
best at all times"
Editor Eastwood OF the WATERFOWL
Herald: THE meetings proved very
interesting to the young journalists,
Mr.. Kieser won the regard OF the stu
dents for the many courtesies extend
ed to them by the college school of
journalism"
1T seems as though nothing was
omitted to make it enjoyable for us
writes Harvey w. Lawson, superin
tendent Of schools at Trent, who at
tended the meeting with sever OF
the Trent students, land it's going to
be some job next year to beat this
year. Everyone | talked with rather
marvelled at the smoothness of every
feature Of the program"
Writes w. c. Lusk, editor OF the
Daily Press and Dakotan, Yankton,
who attended the meetings and par,
ticipated in the discussions: Il am
still enthusiastic over your meeting
and find that the boys from here are
very much interested. They have ar,
ranged for a monthly meeting of the
Woksape staff and expect to have
newspap men address them at each
meeting If possible. l have been In
vited to make the first talk to them
sometime next week. The superin'
tendent and a number of teachers
have also talked with me about it and
they are evidently trying to sell a big
ger journalism idea to the whole
school,"
