his successor should be elected for

2. Clerk or recorder. Chapter Alb
specifically provides that any clerk
whose term of office would other
wise expire prior to January 1, 1881
shall continue to hold office until the
end of December 81, 1880. The pres
ent incumbent should therefore bold
office until December 81, 1880, and
his successor should be elected at the

year term beginning January, 1881,
and expiring December 81, 1882.
3. Assessor. The present asses
sor should have been elected in March

His successor should be elected in

be in office two constables, one whose
terms expires April 1, 1880, and the
other April 1, 1881. The constable

December 81, 1880, and his success
sor should be elected in December,
1880, for a two-year term beginning
January, 1881, and expiring December
81, 1892. The constable whose term
would otherwise expire in April, 1881,
will hold office until that date. AT
the election in December, 1880, there
should be a second constable elected
to take office April 1, 1881, and hold
for a short term until December 81
1881. Thus at the December, 1896
election there will be two constables
elected.

then be elected in December, 1882,
for a three-year term.
This necessitates the election OF
three trustees in December, 1880, to
take offices at different times, but
this construction is required by the
second paragraph of Section which
requires that all adjustment of terms
be made at the December, 1880, cleo
ton.
7. Justice of the Peace. Chapter
Alb entirely fails to make adequate
provision for justices of the peace.
The terms of offices of justices OF
the peace are fixed by the Constitu-
ton at two years, and they do not
hold over until their successors are
elected or qualified. At the present
time in most villages there are two
justices, one holding until April l.,
1880, and the other holding until
April /, 1881. There is no provision
for electing a successor of the one
whose term expires in April, 1880, I'M
til the December, 1880, election. There
will therefore be a vacancy in that
office for that period of time. At the
December, 1880, election justice
should be elected for a two-year term
commencing on the first secular day
of January, 1881, and expiring Decem-
Der, 81, 1882. In the case of the other
justice whose term expires in April,
in, htoh &c
successor can be elected until De-
cember, 1881, and there will therefore
be a vacancy in his office from April
1881, until December 81, 1881, AT
the December, 1881, election his sue
| cessor should be elected for a two
year term beginning on the first Sec
ular day of January, 1882, and ex-
piring December, 81, 1888. There
may be villages in which the terms
of office of both justices expire al
the same time, in which case the
village will be left without any justice
of the peace for the eight-montt
interval, unless the vacancy can be
filled by appointment.
| s. Treasurer. The present village
treasurer was elected in March, 1929
for one-year term expiring in April
1880. He should hold over unit
December 81, 1880. At the December
1880, election his successor should bt
elected for a two-year term com
mencing on the first secular day o

originally introduced at the very COM
mencement of the 1929 session with
the apparent intention of having it
passed Immediately so as to do away
with the March, 1929, election. The
intention then was to have the opera
ton of the act commence with viii
lage election in December, 1929. Be
cause of the act not passing before
the March, 1929, elections were held,
this intention had to be abandoned.
The bill was revamped so as to delay
it's operation for one year and passed
on the last night of the session. In
revamping it, adequate consldera-
ton was not given to the difficulties
created by the changes made. In
constituting it we have tried to arrive
at the intention of the legislature as
shown by the act as whole, and to
construe its provisions so as to carry
out that intention.
1t should be noted that section 2
of chapter Alb now makes mandatory
the election of the officers named
therein in all villages of the state no
matter how organized. For instance,
there may be villages in which the
assessor has been appointed by the
council and not elected. Under Sec
ton 2 this office is now an elective
office in all villages which constitute
separate election districts.
1t may be that the terms of office
of the officers in some of the vii
lagos organized under special laws
do not expire at the times hereinbe-
| fore indicated. If the difference in
| the laws under which these villages
are operating makes necessary fur
| Their construction of the 1929 law as
it affects such villages, we would be
| glad to give a special opinion upon
receipt of inquiries setting forth the
law under which the village is OPP

ent officers with a statement of the
dates of election and dates of expira-
tion of terms of office.
| The conclusions we have arrived at

upon this act in the very helpful bull
letin recently issued by the League OF
Minnesota Municipalities, except as
to the election of assessors and con-
stables in villages formerly having
March elections.

NOTES

The Juniors gave their assembly

scene from "a Midsummer Nights

forded a good laugh to the audience.
Between the two short scenes, piano
solo, Farewell to the Alps" was pre-
scented by Verna Ecklund. Now, Sen

1t is remarkable the way the faces
OF the Sophomores can change. 1t
seems that they have two. After the
first letter from Minneapolis was
posted on the bulletin board, their
mouths sagged, but, when the second
one was read the corners turned
upwards. 1t is no wonder, as the
second informed them that the BIZ

day. They plan to make the trip Nov.

will be shown slides by the manager

Let us hope they will not boast too
early, for the Colds may turn the
tables on them.

ance last week. The paper is pub

Editorial Comment
New York's Stage Cesspool
washington Starr

The rector of st. Patrick's Cathedral in New York
City has addressed a letter to his parishioners, with the
approval OF Cardinal Hayes, declaring that certain stage
shows now being presented in that city are an outrage of
public decency and asking for development of a public
opinion determined not to patronize such performances.
Two plays are named specifically in this connection. one a
so-called revue and the other a production from the
classic Greek Drama. The former of these shows was
recently "raided" by the police and the producer and
some OF the performers were taken into court on charges
OF ~debaSing public morals. The case against them has
not been concluded, but the show has been somewhat
purged of its Objectionable features and is playing to even
larger houses than before. It is noted further that as
a result of the criticism directed against the Greek
comedy the advance sale, which has averaged about
$1,000 a day throughout the summer, has increased
to $4,000.
These figures indicate the difficulty of correcting the
abuse of the stage by public announcement. Only a small
percentage of theates -goers are turned against the pro-
auctions by such measures. New York'S theaters cater
chiefly to the out-of-town public, the people who flock
there on business or for pleasure and who go to see the
most notorious, the most libidinous and the most indecent
shows as part of the reasons of existence in the metropolis.
Nevertheless the denunciation of such productions in
the name of public decency is wholesome even though
it may result in immediate profit to the promoters. 1t
serves at least to hold up the standard of taste and
liberation. A small minority of the people can support
an unclean stage show, but it is we'll for the majority
to be warned and aGmonished against participation in
this vicious partnership.
