THE ONWARD MARCH.

Rev. Morgan Dix, the noted New York
divine. is one of the clearest thinkers
in the country. In his discourse last
Thanksgiving day, he referred to the
great forward movement made by this
country during the past few years as
but the prelude to the advancement of
the republic TO the very front rank.
For a nation to be great. it must have
wisely framed government, in which
no one class can gain ascendancy over
the rest. nor be used by any man or party
as means for promoting any interests
that do not include THE whole country.
Then it is absolutely necessary to have
a credit that is good throughout the
Whole world.
In closing his address last Thursday.
DR.. Dix saw through the slowly open
ing door into the century beyond. and

the head of the world, respected by the

This new century about to dawn upon
the world will no doubt bring this nation

WANTED-A ROAD LAW.

Livingston Post: According to an
opinion recently rendered by Attorney
General Nolan, there at present exists
in Montana no authority by which a new
road can be laid out in any county of the
state The hands of the board of county
commissioners are tied, and in all the
statutes there is no vestige of authority,
either express or by necessary inference,
sufficient to empower a board to order
the construction of roads. Not only is
there no such provision now, but there
has been none for the past two years.
Roads which have from time to time,
been laid out and opened for travel are
open to serious objections, and it is ex-
.temely doubtful if interested taxpayers
could not, if they so desired, go before
the courts and have the action of the
board of county commissioners in laying
out new road declared null and void,
and close up the roads so constructed.

DEPARTMENT OF MINING.

: The annual report of DR.. David T..
Day. who is chief of the division of min
ms of the United States Geoosical Sur
vey. is considered by many as very
strong argument in favor of the creation
os a governmental department Of mines
and mining, with a cabinet secretary.
The report shows that the total value
OF the minerals produced in the United
States during the last calendar year
amounted to 1915, S.046. an increase in
value of almost 40 per cent as compared
with the figures for the preceding year.
For the first time since 1889 the value Of
the metallic production eNcee led that Of
the nom metallic products.
Those who have for two years been
urging the necessity of a mining secre-
taryship in the cabinet will renew their
agitation next year. They insist that if
agriculture is of sufficient Importance to
entitle that industry to a cabinet secre-
taryship the mining industry has even
greater claims for such consideration.
It is believed that if Indifference can be
overcome the plan can be successfully
carried out.

ANTI-GAMBLING LAW.

Belt Times: If our memory serves us
right, there is a gambling law on the
statute books of Montana. According to
this law, there is severe penalty for
running gambling house, too severe it
is claimed, to render conviction easy.
1t is not necessary to mention the fact
that this law has never bee nenfirced,
only in the most desultory way, and
there is hardly a town in Montana where
the tiger cannot be found OPEN
today. The present law is a farce, and
III View of the fact that humanity is

the coming session and we trust that
they will not make any more of a mess
OF it than their predecessors.

A really remarkable concert was given
in New York last week. There was
full chorus of 1000 trained voices and
thos who heard it were fairly enthralled.
The music was furnished by canary
birds, brought together by the Greater
New York Ornithological society at
Teutonia hall, and it is said that after
the musicians, each one soloist Of note
had tuned up, there was a perfect water
fall of song that increased into a ca
teract of melody. In it all there was not
one discordant note, not a singer off the

spite of the rule of Croker. too, life and
property are fairly secure there, taking

ed increase in population and wealth.
The New York Commercial is moved to
say this in behalf of the state:
In spite of the criticism that we are all
ready to pass upon public officehs and
lawmakers, the favor in which the state
of New York stands With people who de-
sire to be as secure as possible in their

that, on the whole. the State of New

great attractions offered by newer fields
opened up in the thrifty west, New York
