The Caldwell Letter.

1t appears that they had a circus
the other day, in the legislature. A
sitting member of the A. r. A. brought
TO the attention of the legislature an
insulting letter which he said he had
received from Butte.
President Caldwell says that this
A. II. A. man in the legislature prob
ably wrote the letter to himself.
Honor bright, we forget who the legis-
lator in question is, but if in fact he
is an A. p. A. man, we wouldn't won
der if the charge were true; that would
be strictly in accordance with the
a. Z. A. methods.
President Caldwell may be all right.
We used to think he was all right, and
that is why he and large assortment
of his immediate relatives got pot of
money out of the Anaconda capital
committee. We do not believe, how
ever, when the recent Helena incident
is taken into account, that the outcome
there even cost Carter a cent.
That Mr.. Caldwell should thrust
this matter on public attention at a
moment when Butte is wrapt in
melancholy themes, seems to us most
offensive.

Speaking of Coats.

Chicago, which is nothing if not sem
sationAl, now comes TO the front as
authority on dress. Ii appears that a
New York man went to New Years
reception in Washington, wearing a
swallow-talled coat Now. this recep-
tion was an afternoon function. and
the wearing Of a swallow-tliled coat
was soleclsm which the Washington
Swells could not overlook and the poor
New Yorker came in for liberal
quantity of harsh criticism. Ii was
wrong, they said, because in England
dress coats are not worn IN the dav
time.
But Chicago comes TO the rescue

The invention of bullet-proof shields is
enlarging, and the patent office will soon
be compelled to establish a special sub
department for the exposition of devices
in this direction. A point is laid down by
a New York engineer, which is that the
outer surface of such material should
be of soft, yielding material,
which is apt to ward off effect

the outer surface is hard and unyielding
the blow is sometimes so great as to over
power the recipient of the shot, and in.

not such as to deter the inventor from

A King in Trouble.

Years of tranquility in the kingdom
of Greece are interrupted with rumors
of revolution at Athens. The early
reports are TO the effect that King
George has abdicated.
Men who are not far beyond middle
life Will recall the events which cul-
minated in the browning of this king.
For centuries the people of Greece had
been the abused victims of foreign
powers; their latest masters were the
Turks. Grecian independence was the
result of revolution that broke out
in 1921 Several of the powers in
Europe gradually interested them
selves in behalf of the Greeks, and a
memorable mistake turned out to the
advantage of the revolutionists.
1t was this: The fleets of England.
France and Russia had been cruising
off the southern coast of Greece.
These were nom belllgerents, their
only mission was to prevent the Turk
ish fleet rayaging the coast. On the
approach of winter the admirals
deemed il wise TO seek shelter in the
harbor of Navarino. They had no
hostile intentions, but the Turkish
fleet lay there and apparently its COM
mander misunderstood the intention
of the admirals lie opened fire, with
the result that the Turkish fleet was
annihilated
That was in 1927. Thereafter.
Greece spent many years in unrest
and turmoil. The demand was for a
constitutional monarchy, and that was
difficult TO bring about Finally,
through the offices of England, con-
stitutional government was estab-
lished in 1863. with the son of the pres
ent king OF Denmark as king. lie is
