why? Says Gladys" is the odd title of
q novelette, by the distinguished EneIist
author, David Christie Murray, that heads
the collection OF attractive literary pro-
auctions In the March number of Tales
From Iotcn Topics. 1t is a brilliantly writ
ten story of love and story of love and
matrimonial infelicity, presented in dia-
logue form, and the author treats his
theme with such gayety and eIoquence
that one cannot fail to be interested and
amused. Gladys is "a lovely American
girl who marries reformed English rake,
and, as 1t turn out, the rake proves to be
the steadtast and true element of the
partnership, whereas Gladys, in an absurd
spe'i OF emotlonalism, brings disaster into
her home. Mr.. Murray is at his best in
recountlng the misadventures of this
strangely assorted pair, and produces a
very good philosophical argument on the
matrlmony question as we'll as a captiyat-
ing piece of romantic literature. The vol
une containing the novelette, is crowded
as usual with the bright array of stories.

A Meeting of MAYORS.

A number of the mayors of Mon
tana cities have already arranged to
meet in Helena within few days to
consider what legislation in addition
to the code is needed in order that the
cities may be governed as efficiently
and as economically as possible during
the next two years. 1t is little late
in the session for much to be accom-
plished now. After this week only 10
working days will be left, for it has
been decided that the session ends at
midnight of March T. Still, in all the
mass of pending legislation there is
nothing that concerns so many tax
payers as does the proposed legisla-
ton touching the government of
cities. If the legislature adjourns
without devoting very careful con-
sideration to municipal affairs it will
have failed in its most important
duty.
Mayor Ramsey, of Bozeman, in a
letter published this morning, men,
lions few matters which need &C.
ton. The conference which met in
Butte last Sunday arranged the salaries
of city officials TO their satisfaction
but went no further than that. The
citizens are the people most deeply
concerned in the way municipal
affairs have been conducted; yet
in no city have the citizens manifested
much interest in this subject. At the
conference mentioned only one citizen
not an Office holder was present, and
that one is prospective candidate for
mayor The citizens should not leave
the important matter of municipal
legislation solely to those holding
Office.
As the STANDARD has often said,
there can never be a satisfactory police
force in Butte until the system of its
and control is changed.
a change in administration cannot |
better the police force. Unless much |
desired legislation on this subject is |
passed at Helena the control of the |
police will remain in the hands of the |
politicians and every time there is a |
change of administration there will be
q change of the police force from the |
chief to the jailor. No business man
in Butte would conduct his establish
ment on that basis, but that
IS the basis on which the police force
Of Butte has always been run. 1t is
rs utterly impossible to get the best
service out of police department
conducted in this way as 10 get the
best service from the employees of a
arge mercantile establishment who
might be changed every year from top
10 bottom regardless of efficiency.
There are many matters of munich
pal legislation which need the close
attention of the mayors and the legis-
ators. But the matter of getting the
police entirely removed from the do
main of politics is the most important
If all If the Legislature in its closing
lays will pass legislation of this kind,
Butte and the other cities of Montana
will in less than five years have an ex-
'erienced, efficient and reliable police
orce of which every citizen can be
