The threats of boycotting the Column
bian Exposition, made by the Southern
legislatures were a grand game of bluff,
most successfully played. Per contra,
the attitude in which the bluffiRg States
stand is exquisitely ridiculous. Hem
ingway has bankrupted Mississippi, Vir-
ginia is heels over head in debt, Arkan-
sas has not money in her treasury to pay
the per diem of her legislature now in
session, Louisiana is pensioner upon a
lottery company, and so on to the end of
the row. All of these high toned COM
munities had better refrain from making
appropriations to the Exposition and
use the money. for paying their school
teachers and other creditors.

The Memphis Appeal Avalanche says:
''The Republican party is everlastingly
done for if the scales have dropped from
the eyes of the slaves in the mills and
factories of the Atlantic coast" And the
Springfield Union saws: .'The Maine
savings Bank report, just issued, shows
total deposits of nearly $4S, 900 900, which
lie gain ofnearly 81, 100000 for the year.
The whole number of depositors is 14O,-
$50, gain of 1929, and the average bal
ance is 1910, much larger average than
last year." ''The Slaves" seem to be
getting along pretty comfortably. We
wonder if the prosperous and intelligent
laborers of Tennessee have $48, 900 900?

A Memphis paper says that the death
OF Gen. Sherman removes one of the
chief obstacles in the way of.perfect re-
concillation between the North and the
South. Also in the Tennessee legislature
in the course of discussion of resolu-
ton eulogistic Of the General, offered
by Republican member, Mr.. Polk said
that his constituents were not sorrowing
over Sherman's death and would, per-
haps, have been glad if he had died
several years ago. The tendency of
such language to produce perfect re-
cancellation" is, of course. perfectly ap-
parent at the first glance.

After Big Game.

Mr.. Sweet of Idaho has introduced in
to the House of Representatives a force
bill to prevent attempting to disparage
or degrade the currency of the United
States" It is aimed at the National
Banks which refuse to loan money ex-
cept upon contracts payable in gold.
This IS at once an admission that the
mere prospect of the proposed idiotic
silver legislation has placed gold at a
premium. Gold is at premium now.

Representative Chandler has intro
duced in Congress, bill providing for a
separate Colored n en- s exhibit at the
Worlds Far. An appropriation of
100000 is asked for. The APPEAL is
thoroughly opposed to any such legisla-
ton. The APPEAL cannot see any good
reason why Congress should be asked to
draw the color line. Let Colored men
who have exhibits to make go in on their
merits and compete with the whites.
No separate sideshow is needed.

Newspaper Laws.


The following are the laws laid down
by the United States Government for
the protection of newspapers:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered as
wishing to continue their subscription
Ifsubscribers order the discontinuance
of their periodicals, the publisher may
continue to send them until all arrear-
ages are paid. 60.
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publishers and
papers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible.
The courts have decided that refusing
to take periodicals from the Office before
removing and leaving them uncalled for
is prima facie evidence of intentional
fraud.
Ifsubscribers pay in advance, they are
bound to give notice to the publisher at
the end OF their time, if they do not
wish to continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it on and
the subscriber will be responsible until
an express notice, with payment of all
arrears is sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can under
law, arrest any man for fraud who takes
a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under
this law it is dangerous trick for man
to allow his subscription account to run
on for six months to year and half,
unpaid and then tell the postmaster to
mark refused" or to send the editor
notice to discontinue the paper.

cITIZEHsHIP CASES.
The Legality Of Field Naturalization certih-
Gates to H Tested

There is smphatically no partisan
ship in the suits to be instituted in the
U. 8. circuit court to test the legality
of the henaturalizationc certificates issued
to the Dagos and other foreigners at
Anaconda, Butte and other places in
the state" says United States Dis
trict Attorney Weed. "Suits of the
kind are not rare, as the court records
in various states show. The attorney
general is satisfied that many illegal
naturalization papers have been issued
in Montana. ! am satisfied of the
same thing myself. When was secre-
tary of the Republican territorial COM
mittee the same thing was done in this
county by Republican deputy clerks.
The idea in these proceedings is to pro-
tect citizenship in Montana and all
over the country. The government 8
theory is that the certificates were ir-
regularly and illegally issued. We will
endeavor to prove this.
"The term of the United States cir
ct,jt court begins the first week in April.
Before the close of the term in July |
expect to have q test case. One case
viii probably decide all in which the
facts are the same. The United States
has the right to bring suits for the
purpose of setting aside these papers.
There is no suggestion of criminality
in the proceedings. They are all suits
in equity. Besides the Anaconda cases
there are between two and three hun
dred in Lewis and Clarke county, from
three to five hundred in Silver Bow,
probably one hundred in Choteau, the
same number in Jefferson, and fifty in
Cascade county"

A Story Of Booth.

mornings since Mr.. Barrett left the
Players club earlier than usual to go
to the theater. Mr.. Booth had en-
sconced himself with pipe and news
paper and looked at his companion
in surprise.
"Whither now, Larry" asked the
great tragsdian.
"To reheaIse," answered Mr.. Bar
rett, as he fastened another button.
"To rehearse? Are you always re-
hearsing?" queried Booth. sit seems
to me you are doing more OF it than
usual lately"
"Well, you see we have a new piece
on Saturday"
sand pray, what is the name of it?'

"Come now, Larry" laughed Booth,
"and what part do you play"
Mr.. Barrett seemed for an instant
dazed. "What part doyousuppose?"
he said.
"Pray, how should I know" an
swered Booth, very seriously. "Is it
the nurse?"
Barrett left the club in three mighty
lstrides.-The Theater.
