= LWAYS, in a meeting made up
as is the Ira rs Mississippi con-


= as is the Trans Mississippi con-
gress, now in session at Wich-
ita, there will be a proportion of dele
gates with axes to grind or with per-
sonal notoriety to foster or with an
ambition to do something that will be
looked upon as "a friendly act' by those
who are in the push. An individual an
swering this description bobbed up in
the Wichita congress, the mission of
which, as generally understood, is to
deal with industrial problems that are
of significance to the region, in this
country, that lies west of the Mis-
sissippi. aEnl9 - Y
1t is not easy to see how Atkinson
and his recent exploits in getting Phil
ippine literature through the federals
mails could normally be made a Trans
Mississippi issue or the proper theme
for resolution to be dealt with at the
Wichita congress. Yet it transpires that
the congress had Atkinson thrust upon
it, in the form of a resolution which
was introduced by a delegate from
Oklahoma.
This delegate asks, the congress to
go on record with a formal denuncia-
tion of the Boston pamphleteer because
of his attacks on the war department.
Here we have, for sure, a man who is
craving an opportunity to get within
range of Ayers vision. Alger certainly
ought to do something" for any man
who has the courage to put in a plea
in defense of the war departments
fearful acknowledgement; he should
write in his book of remembrance the
name of the Oklahoma patriot who
champion.
But this delegate at Wichita had a
rider attached to his resolution in the
shape of recommendation to the fed
eral government "to encourage the ex-
portation of negroes to the Philippines
Heard in Wichita, this proposition
must be described as rank heresy
Wichita is in the region where, not sc
many years ago, abolition for the Negro
and full recognition of his natural and
political rights was preached so loud
and SO persistently that, saying nothing
about the South, the North impatiently
declared the Kansans to be disturbers
of the public peace. Ought the fiat tC
go forth now from Wichita that the
negro shall be bundled off to the far
away Philippines? Perish the thought!
That suggests a cowardly solution of
is proposed solution that would not
solve. But what has this Trans Missis-
sippi congress to do, anyhow, with
Atkinson's pamphlets and the race
problem?

at present. In talking about the mat
ter with one of the players the matter
OF hnanee came up. He mentioned the
fact that they were under great deal
OF expense and that they should be paid
something for their trouble. 1t is hoped
that this weekly concert matter will not
be allowed to be dropped and that some
means of reimbursing the boys for their
trouble will be made known. There
Is not city in the state that can boast
OF as pleasant affairs as the court house
concerts that we had last year, and
there is no doubt that there will be
some means of getting the band boys
to give the concerts again this year.

A Pleasant Session,

Missoula, June 1.-The old-timers

Stevens, G. A. Wolf and others of the
old-timers have had pleasant session
with the old fellow, recounting the adj

outlast those of his old acquaintance
who have become modernized to the
extent Of riding bicycles.

and robbed of 81 that was in his pants
pocket. The robber forgot to look in
any of the other pockets, for if he had

get help the man had got away.

No More Danger,

Missoula, June 1.-The water in the
Missoula river is gradually dropping

now no more danger from high water.

in a current report just received from
the Standards Washington office, shows
that the state lost 1850 cattle from
all causes last year, against 46,9S9 for
Colorado and 1850 for Wyoming. In
the preceding year Montana's loss was
1929, which far exceeded Wyoming

other mountain states also exhibit a
heavy increase in losses of sheep.

Bad Spelling Tn H.rv.ra.


 The midyear examination in Fine Arts Three. which was held at Harvard on Feb 4, uncovered these curiosities of spelling among other things almost as curious:
 Appolo, alebaster. terricotta. citidal mate, pillar, jems (gems). statute (statue). proceeding. collum. entirely, phisique, renound. lockwood (back- ward }. sculpters. athelete.
 Such errors were found distributed throughout the class and were not con- fined to a few notebooks. Several of those who misspelled athlete were espe- cially prominent in athletic circles
 This class in fine arts is among the largest in the university, having fully 800 members It contains no freshmen. but is made up mostly of juniors and seniors It is probably the most popular of the general culture courses and was under Professor Charles Eliot Norton until the present year. The course has been regarded as almost liberal edu- cation in itself. New York Sun
