OFFICIAL PAPER OF FERGUS COUNTY.
LEwISTOwN, MONT, Feb. -, 1907,
THE STATE EDUCATIONAL MSTIIunOSS.

The STATE EDUCATIONAL NSTlIUIi0NS.
Chaplain Stull Of Yellowstone c ~unty
has introduced in the house Il bill for
an act consolidating the state educa-
tional institutions. This is "A most
m~eritorious bill, although the chances
of its ever becoming a law are Of the
slightest.
The state of Montana has 4 so-callcd
university, located at Mis>oula. an
alleged college of Agriculture and
Mechanic ART" at Bozcman and a "Nor'
NAL school" in posse ut Dillon. These
institutions were located at these widely
distant points in order to satisfy the
greed of the respective places which
coveted the slight prestige and scanty
profit to be derived from them. The
legislation which permitted this ar
rangemcnt was weak, IL o wicked.
The funds at the disposal of the state
for the maintenance OF these schools
are and have been frittercd away in
perpetuating three weak, half-effectivc
institutions. instead of concentrating
them in the founding of what might in
due time become a really efficient and
creditablc state university. 1t is not
too late now to rectify the mistake, al
though the money that has been thus
wasted cannot be recovered, but we
fear il will not he done. II is difficult
to undo an accomplished fact. The
same spirit of local greed that effected
this unwise arrangement will be active
in pcrpetuating il. Instead of laying
the foundation of what might in time
be a really great school, the means of
educating the youth Of our state, we
shall probably continue the present in
effective, short-sighted policy, if it can
be dignifcd with the name of policy.
But what ought TO be done is to con-
solidate these several institutions" in
one school, centrally located, and then
proceed to make it worthy Of the dig
nifty and the future Of our great state.
A good. sound institution of lcarning is
necessarily n thing of slow growth: ii
cannot he made to order or manufac-
turcd in a limited period of time. The
unwisdom of the present arrangement
will indefinitely postpone, if il doesn not
permanently prevent, the building of
suys an university as the state should ,
have. As it is now aud ever will be,
under the present order, parents who
are able will send their children to dis
tant schools for their secondary cduca-
tion, while the others must get along
as best they may with what Montana
has Ia give them, But this is "A bad
outlook. The majority of youth who
desire an education cannot afford to 20
far from home to get it; and the state,
for It's own advancement and security,
ought to make good, sound educational
all recognized grades obtainablc by all
of its young citizens who desire it. No
investment will pay better than one
which makes better citizenship.
Therefore. we take of III hatto Bro,
Stull in recognition ofhis p~raiseworthy
attempt, although we foresce only de.
feat for the meritorious bill which he
has introduced.

the UlERSEY GAMBLING BILL.

1t is a cause of rejoicing that tn,
Tierney gambling bill has been de
feated. When the bill was first intro
duced it looked as II apathy and per
haps some degree of p~erplexity, OF thu
part of those who are on principle op
posed to gambling, might result in it
passage, but on sober second thought i
became apparent that the public senti
ment of Montana is hostile to the licens
ing of gambling houses.
The chief so-called argument adducet
in favor of licensing gambling is The
oft repeated assertion that there viii
be gambling anyhow and therefore the
state might as well derive much needed
revenue 'FRONT.'. Without any analysis
or comparison this statement has 4
plausible sound, bat reflection will
show that it is equally applicable to
any other form ofcyil. Wcdu not hope
10 see murder altogether eliminated.
therefore, the state might derive rev.
cugr from licenses to kill. Robbery is
likely 10 occur for some time yet, in
spite OF laws to the contrary: therefore,
the state might. for a consideration,
issue permits to steal. Licenses to com.
nit rape, assault, burglary and may.
hem would probably, if authorized,
bring in goodly sums of revenue to the
state. The only tenable position is
that the state cannot afford, ON moral
grounds, TO become a particeps criminis,
Ifone admits the prcmiSc that gambling
il wrong hc cannot advance any logical
argument in its favor.
Another more OF less plausible argu.
mcnt i, that gambling is good for a
community in that it puts money in
circulation. This we believe to be an
absolute fallacy. II does not bring any
money into a community. 1t is wholly
unproductiye. 1t does not make a mar.
ket for a pound more of groceries or a
yard more Of cloth. 1t diverts money
from the usual channels of trade, in
stead Of increasing its ilow. 1t is a
matter of common observation that a
good many men who lose their money
over the gambling table are not able to
meet other obligations.
Gamblers, as a class, do nothing for
the community in which they live.
There may be an occasional exception,
but we believe this is the rule. They
give nothing for what they get. They
prey upon the inexperienced, the fool.
ish, the unwary.
No doubt there will always be some
gambling. We. as Il state and as n com
munity, cannot, however, afford To en-
courage it. The laws against il can be
enforced in the same way that other
laws may he enforced. If it must he
done, let ii he driven underground,
where IL will not entrap SO many vic
Tins as it will If carried on in public
and with the sanction and protection
of law. The young men and men of
little mean will be spared a great deal
of temptation if this practice is put
under the ban of the law. There will
he far less danger Of the boys acquiring
the habit if they have to go and hunt
in secret places for il. II there were
no other reason the protection of the
youth would he reason enough.
ON all grounds il is bad and alto
gcthcr bad. The Legislature has done
well in refusing to repeal the prohibit
tory law against It. Let the present
law be enforced.

the statute books. The wave of re-
sentiment against the lawbreakers is
likely to run over into Iowa and other
adjacent states.
