The students at the Montana state coll
ltge now number something over go,
which is probably greater than the at
tendance of any of the colleges of like
character in the country. The faculty
and all connected with the institution
arc leaving nothing undone that will in
any way advance the interests of the,
college. and the natural result is that
Montana has one of. if not the very best
agricultural college to be found in any
state. 1t is but fair to assume that the
growth shown in attendance will con.
tinue and that in time it will be the thing
to send the young folks to the Bozeman
college to finish their education in place
of sending them to some eastern nStitu-
ton. where the returns in learning will
rot be mite better. and the expenses
great deal heavier than they are at
home.

The Gaming Habit.


The gambling instinct is present in
nearly all of u.s. In one way or another
we are nearly all gamblers, taking
chances and trying to get something for
nothing. The problem of regulating 1t
Is a difficult one, because when we
eradicate it in one form it breaks out in
another. We close the gambling houses
by means Of heavy penalties and strict
regulation, but straigtway the gambler
takes to the pool room and the race
track. 1t is a great curse. Thousands
of young men who might become
respectable and useful members of
society are going to destruction, wreck
ing themselves, their families and friends
by gambling. Thousands become de-
faulters and thieves, robbing their
employers to cover their losses. How
are we going to stop itY We are not
going to stop it, but we can reduce the
evils. We can draw the line on the
boys and young men who cannot be
reclaimed or restrained except by heroic
remedies. Many of the leading tinan-
cial institutions, railroads and other
corporations have found it necessary to
draw the line, in the matter of employ
ment, against those who manifest a
passion for gambling. When the young
man finds that it is bar to employment
he will either give it up or go to gam
bling for business. When his gait
gets too fast it is about time to present
to him this alternative.

Those Old R0ndS.

An old game of blackmail is about to
be renewed in the effort of certain
holders of bogus state bonds to enforce
their collection, says the Atlanta
Constitution.
The New York Times is authority
for the statement that trust company
is being formed to collect or compro-
mise the bonds issued by the Southern
states during the reconstruction period
following the civil war and ''since
repudiated in whole or in part by those
states.
This concern has issued circular in
which it calls upon the holders OF such
bonds to unite In movement to secure
their payment. The circular very
innocently states that "a very large
amount of bonds were Issued by the
Southern states during the recent
reconstruction period, of which many
have been repudiated and which today
have no market value. At intervals,
for years, individual efforts to collect
these bonds have resulted only in
expense and annoyanceto the holders OF
ths same. We believe that individual
efforts will always prove futile, and
hence comes the suggestion of consolid.
alton. so that attorneys may be employed
and lobbyists set to work in Southern
legislatures to accomplish through
brow-beating and bribery that which
has not been possible by the merits of
the case. One plan to be relied upon
will be the creation of sentiment in
favor of paying bogus debts as marks OF
high financial character. Under such
plea as this honest men would have
nothing else to do in life except to pay
the claims of every self-appointed cred
itor who might insist that there is
something due him.
Suppose the trust company holding
the $14 900, 900 bonds which the state
of Arkansas declared unjust and I'M
lawful should conclude to expend a
couple of hundred thousand dollars
influencing the legislature, the action
of that body might arouse the people to
to the Importance of sending only good
men to the legislature. Of course the
people would defeat any constitutional
amendment having for its purpose the
revival of those old bonds, but the evil
effects of a large amount of money
turned loose in the legislature would be
manifest to the general public. Let us
hope the New York trust company
having these old bonds will have the
good sense to burn them and let the
matter drop. Little Rock Democrat.

LOOtlng In China.

In Henry Savage Landor's "China
and the Allies we have an account OF
the looting that occurred during the
war period that Is evidently fair and
unbiased, dark as Is the picture 1t paints
of the outrages perpetrated by the
soldiers Of the powers. We quote from
it:
1.-THE accounts Of the looting pub.
lished in England and America were
not accurate and seemed to be mostly
written by persons who had some
Interior motive In showing the soldiers
of some one nation or another ut their
worst. maintain that, II looting Is to
be looked upon as u crime, the soldiers
Of all nations, none excepted, disgraced
themselves alike. The Russian, the
British, the American, the Japanese,
the French, all looted alike. They, one
and all, were hooters of the very first
water.
Nothing, probably, was more Gu
rious, when Pekin quieted down, than
the sale by aution of the legal loot In
the British legation. Regular parties
went ont with carts and brought In
what they could--silks, embroideries,
furs, bronzes, jewelry, jade, china
vases. these were then sold every
afternoon at . O'Clock on the legation
lawn, and quite n considerable sum OF
money was realized by the sale OF these
articles. These auctions were well
attended, mostly by British officers and
missionaries and by few Americans.
"A worse thing happened. Ont In
the court, rs one Of the Chinese officials
who WIS escorting the visitors stood
impassive, with his white tasselled hat,
and long necklace Of amber and jade
with pendants, the emblem of his rank,
dangling on his chest, u military officer
