WHISKY MEN VICTORIOUS

Secretary McCulloch has issued regula-
tons to carry into effect the recent opinion
OF Solicitor General Phillips, approved by
Attorney General Brewster, extending the
time for the payment Of the tax on bonded
whisky intended for export. 1t means that
distillers who have whisky In bond upon
which tax is due shall, upon filing dec
lara,ion Of intention to export, be given
seven months IN which to pay the tar, in
stead Of thirty days, a. provided in the
original regulation. In other words, the
bonded period Of three years, provided by
Law, is by executive mandate, extended
seven months. The Secretary has done
what Congress has repeatedly refused to do.

THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

The Salt Lake 7y,bxne is Of the opinion
that the New Orleans managers Of the
great Exposition should have postponed
the formal opening for at least three
months. They began when only half
ready, and the result is disappointment,
and in many cases disgust. There seems
to have been great lack of executive abil.
ity somewhere. 1t was known in advance
what was needed. The money was ready
to meet the expense. The only things re-
quired were to estimate correctly the num-
Der Of men necessary to perform certain
work and then to set them to work. That
there has been a miserable failure is some
body's fault; still the Exposition will be
splendid two months hence, and will be
worth a journey to New Orleans to see.

McDONALD'S VIEWS.

Ex-senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, was
in Chicago recently, and was interviewed
Nv an Inter- cea. reporter regarding his
Cabinet prospects. Mr.. Mcdonald was
reticent. He, however, spoke freely on
civil service reform and other current top
les, Mr.. Mcdonald said he would not have
vot-d for the civil ser. ice law for variety
of reasons, one being its underlying prin-
ciple of perpetuity in Office to which ne 3D.
iected, believing it not according to the &C.
MUS Of our institutions, and going back too
much to British models. But having such
law on the statute books he believed it to
be the duty of the President to enforce 1t.
This duty Mcdonald believed Cleveland
would certainly perform. He regarded the
President-elect'sr recent letter on the sub
iect as fair and clear exposition OF Cieve~
lands intentions in this respect. He did
not think he was a man given to double
dealing, or that he intended that anything
should be read between the lines. Refer
ring to the cases of violent partisans now in
Office, Mcdonald said he believed Cleve-
land would, in decided cases, undoubtedly
exercise whatever powers of removal he
had under the law, and leave the Senate to
act in the matter as it should please. Faith
full public officers, Mcdonald thought,
would De retained until their terms expired.
He did not believe, however, that Cleve"
land would feel under any obligation re"
garding appointments.

THE MANIA FOR GAMBLING.

The mania 70, gambling has taken pos
session OF the American people SO COM
pletely that We are fast gaining the repu'a'
ton OF being nation Of gamblers. Men
in high positions gamble, men in moderate
circumstances gamble and SO on down to
the rounder. Women, too, gamble ana
some of the highest players in the land are
women. The movement on foot in Mon
tana to petition the Legislative Assembly
to enact measures to suppress or curta1i
gambling is not likely to result in anything
remedial toward the suppression OF the
evil of gambling. Our law makers, Or the
majority of them, are the worst gamblers
in the land. When legislators are found
four deep around faro table excited and
y it'll their tongues out bucking a: the fas-
cinating "tiger," it is safe to assume that
those legislators will not enact laws tor the
suppression of that game or any other game
The law makers are not alone to blame for
the prevalence OF gambling. Our charity
societies, under the auspices OF churches,
teach incipient gambling among the chill
drcn. and If children are taught to gamble
for religious or charitable purposes they
will certainly gamble for gain as they
grow older. Gambling at church fairs and
faro tables is equally reprchensib'e. The
San Francisco Report, in treating the sub.
ject Of gambling, has Inc following peril
nent remarks to make: talking will be
in vain and laws will be in vain against
gambling as long as the very children are
;noculated with the virus Of gaming. Even
at the Charity Carnival, while the chill
dren's ball was in progress, they had to
have a lottery running, one Of the prizes in
which was q wax doll. 1t is surprising
that our church people, who encourage rat
flcs and our charitable people, who hold
lotteries, do not see the harm they do.
They would be Mortified if it were sug-
gested that they should serve out gin cock
tails and whisky to their young friends
gathered around the stalls Of their fairs
and bazars-but the alcohol would do far
less harm than the prizes do"

"GOvERNOR" CROSBY.

The Montana admirers of his late Ex-
cellency, J. Schuyler Crosby, will pardon
us for keeping him before the people. 1t
is out Of pure respect and overwhelming
admiration for our late Governor that We
reproduce from the Chicago Times special
the following personal about our late and
lamented Governor:
1.-THE new First Assistant Postmaster
General is rot satisfied with that lore title
alone, but, like the Missouri patent medi-
cine doctor, who was member Of the
Forty Seventh Congress, wants his name
ornamented with titles before and behind.
Mr.. John Schuyler Crosby, having held
the Office of Governor Of Montana Terri
tory before he became First Assistant Post
master. General, insists upon retaining the
title Of Governor The esrnestness with
which he clings to 1t has afforded great
deal Of amusement to the whole Depart.

that the word Governor be prefxed to his
name on the label. On another occasion
when the official directory was being pre-
pared proof:sheet was sent to him for
correction Of his city address,. He told
the clerk to insert Governor before his
name, and it was done, but when the proof
went to Postmaster General Hatton, he
drew his pen through the supcrfuous title
with the remark that he would not allow
such nonsense. While Mr.. Hatton was

acted as chief of the Department, and it is
said that he drew UP an order ready for is.

THE CAUSE or HIGH WAGES.

The Secretary Of State has submitted to
Congress his conclusions from the reports
Of our counsels in foreign countries on
wages in effect that nearly all kinds Of skill
ed laborers earn from two to three times as
much per day in the United States as the
same class Of laborers do in Europe, and
that the expenses for living are no greater
here than there for the same articles.
Clothing is, generally, cheaper in Europe
than in America, but in other respects it is
asserted that our laborers receive more for
their money. The Secretary does not give
the reason for the difference in wages. The
protective tariff men lay it to their pet
hobby Of protection. But the apparent
reason is that our Govcrnmen,-by its land
and land grant policy-has opened to the
world millions Of acres fertile land. This
land has been sold for tribe. It has been
the most splendid opportunity ever offered
to poor men. Hundreds Of Thousands Of
men have Jeff the ranks Of wage-laborers
IN Europe and the Eastern States and SET
tied "a farms In the West to become indie
pendent farmers. This great relief to the
labor market Of Europe and America has
raised wages here and abroad, but more in
our own country than across the ocean.
10 the liberal policy Of our Government
to great extent may be attributed one Of
the Principal causes Of high wages.

An Old Dollar.
Mr.. John A. HERS, of Terrel

Mr.. John A. HERS, of Terrell
county, who is 81 years of age, has
the first silver dollar he ever own
ed. He earned it by "grubbing'
for Mr.. Isaac Warn, of Barnwell
district, s. c., 81 years ago. He
says that when a boy he was told
that money, if put away and saw
ed, would take root and grow; so
he put it away and would not
spend it for anything, and would
not part with it now for consider
alton. 1t has been his "nest egg"
all these years, and he has accu-
mulated around it small fortune.
1t is an old Mexican dollar, coined
in 1925. It.has on one side an
eagle sitting upon cactus bush
with its wings spread and crown
on its head, with the words: "Mex.
| lmperator Constitut s r. l NJ"
On the othe side mans head,
with the words ugustinus Del
Providentia NJ. 1926" Mr.. HERS
also has razor strap case which
his grandfather brought from
Germany before the revolationa-
ry war. 1t has been in constant
use all these years, and is an ex-
cellent case now. Mr.. HI. says it
is at least 40 years old Mr..
HERS is somewhat peculiar, and
may be called an "old fogy" in
many respects. He thinks man
and wife should never be parted
by man, and therefore refuses to
serve on the jury in divorce case.
He will not kill a hog or plant a
seed unless the moon is exactly
right" as he expresses it. He
processes to be governed by the
Bible in all things, and reads it
every day or night. The Instincts
and tastes of his German ancestry
still cling to him, and there's
nothing he is more fond of than
making and eating "sour krout." y
