Home Truths.


Evangelist Sam Jones is now working
up the sinful elements in Atlanta
with such home truths as these: "Some
of you little sinners are sitting around
here waiting for Salvation to strike you
as it did st. Paul. Snow bird waiting to
be hit with cannon bali. God adjusts
his ammunition to the size of the man he
is after. Mustard-seed shot will do for
you. God won't keep man sober who
has quart of liquor in him all the time.
God won't keep young lady pious who
has her waist encircled seven times a
week by the arms of a spider-legged
dude. Such gospel as this would be good
anywhere, even in Chicago

THE bill that recently passed our Coun-
ell giving to married women the same
control over their property as possessed by
men, is worthy of all commendation. 1t
gives TO each the absolute control and dis
position of individual property, and treats
all property acquired subsequent to mar
riage by joint efforts and sacrifices as COM
munity property, to be disposed of only
by joint conveyance. 1t treats marriage
as life partnership between equals. We
have not seen the bill to know its details,
but if rs reported, it is a more just and
substantial accordance of equal rights to
women than the concession of the elective
franchise.

CONGRESS, has refused the appropriation
to transfer the government exhibit from
New Orleans to London for the Inventors
Exhibition. In some respects this exhibit
tion should be the most interesting that
ever took place, and surely the United
States should occupy the foremost place
and carry off the principal prizes. Perhaps
some are narrow-minded enough to think
that foreigners will steal some Of our in
ventions. But we ought to rest secure in
the conviction that the people that have
produced the best in every department
and direction can still continue to do so
against all competitors There is dispo-
sition often manifested to tire of these fire.
quent expositions. Directly they do not
pay, but indirectly they do pay largely.
They educate and civilize the world; they
diffuse the blessings and comforts of skill,
and industry, awaken thought and quicken
life. They promote peace and extend
commerce. They ought above all to be
literally patronized by the United States.

AFTER the most careful scrutiny of the
provisions of the gambling bill now before
the legislature, we do not believe it con-
tains single provision that is unconstitu-
ality. The provisions regarding testimony
are only restatement of what is law and
could he omitted without injury tc the
bill. Nor do we believe the right of search
and seizure is in violation of the Fourth
Amendment Of the Constitution as it has
been often and uniformly interpreted. if
in the judgment of the law making power
it is right, wise and just to prevent gam
bling, il would not be unreasona BILE to fol-
low il when it took refuge in private
houses, for though the law respects them
as ihe castles of the owner, it does not ad-
here to this fiction to allow such castles to
become dens of thieves or hiding places for
the commission of crime No one will
pretend that any man has right of i'm
munity because he carries on counterfeit
ing in his own house. Nor is it tenable to
say that man has right to do what he
will with his own, though no one but him
self would suffer from his act. No man
would be allowed to take his own life,
though il would be a kindness to himself
and the world We do not believe either
that the State ought to divide the profits
Of gambling with the dealers. Every pub
lie treasury would be richer without the
money earned AT the gambling table
About all the question there is in the case,
as it seems TO US, is whether the law of
prohibition could be so fairly well enforced
as to accomplish its design. We should
say make the first penalties light and 90 on
increasing them, and make it the duty of
every executive officer of the law TO arrest
for any violation coming within his own
observation without warrant

THE officers of the Historical Society are
very desirous of having copy of every
newspaper printed in Montana and solicit
this as a public, not personal favor to
themselves. These files of newspapers are
carefully preserved and bound, and it may
be of the greatest value TO every editor
and publisher to he able to have access to
a file of his own papers. These photo
graphs of local life will some time make
good material to shade and correct history
1t is to be hoped that every editor and
publisher i'm Montana will see that the
Historical society is on its list all the time.
The society has invariably made an hon
orary member of every editor and pub
Usher. The active members, which for con-
venience are limited, have no fuller rights,
but pay yearly membership fee.

We had aspired to witness a long and
honorable career for our local military
company and rather regret ,he hasty action
of disbandment at the unappreciatiye act
and attitude of our Legislature. The second
amendment TO our national constitution
says: "A well regulated militia being
necessary to the security Of free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed." Is il any less
necessary now than then? Do not those
who serve as militia perform a service as
important to the State as jury service ? In
ordinary affairs we see no need of militia
service, but do we possibly know in ad-
vance when such services will be needed {?
And can we be sure to have them when
needed except we encourage their con-
tinued existence?
