WHACK AT SALOONS.
Representative Hedges has introduced
two bills that will produce consterna-
If they are passed by both houses and
signed by the governor. Both are aimed
at limiting the evils which the author
ascribes to the liquor traffic. and both
are innovations as regards legislation
in Montana. Owing to the slate date of
their introduction. it is doubtful if the
bilis are ever acted on by the senate
one blll provides than any person who
sells or gives Intoxicating liquor to an
ftDltual drunkard or to minor shall;
re llaple IN damages to any person in
Jured thereby, and also be guilty of a
nisdemeanor. Married women can sue
in their own name, and a minor child
by guardian.
Hedges second bill makes provision
for regulating the sale of intoxicants.
According to this bill, should it become
a law, saloons should close at midnight
and remain closed until o'clock i'm the
morning. every day except Sunday. when
they must remain closed all day. The
Dill also provides that saloons must not
nave card rooms in connection there
, with.
CARE OF HOMELESS CHILDREN.
Al the request of numerous humani-
taflans, Representative Dixon has intro
ouced Dill giving added powers to cer-
tain organizations of charitable nature
and specifically to children's home find
ms socities. The bill is designed TO .i,a
such societies control of INDECENT minor
children, and the county commissioners
justices of the peace or district Judges
may surrender such children to the So
clety when the father is dead or has
abandoned them or is an habitual drunk
ard or imprisoned, or when the mother is
any or these or an inmate of house of
ill fame. Upon complaint being made
that a girl under IA years of age and a
boy under II years of age have been
abandoned. it shall be the duty of the
judge or justice to issue a warrant of
arrest. inquire into the facts and sur
render such girl or boy to the society. In
case OF appeal or writ of habeas corpus,
the fact that surrender was made in the
manner provided in this act is sufficient
evidence that it was legal
FAUST DISAPPOINTED.
Representative Faust is some what dis
appointed over the temporary delay in
the consideration of his road bill. The
committee having the bill in charge re-
ported it back with the recommendation
that it pass without amendment, Du.
consideration was given the bill by the
committee. and as they are all sensible
and practicable men their Judgment on
the Dill is regarded as worthy of con-
sideration. One Of them said that it was
the best road bill he had ever read, ana
he believed it was one of the "most mer-
itorious measures introduced during the
session. The bill was held back in the
house because Senator Gieger has an ex-
actly similar bill in the senate and 1t will,
in all likelihood pass that body on Fri
day. as it is a special order for that day.
In that way it will reach general orders
in the house. after passing the senate,
about as quick as would the Faust bill.
The bill will be a boon to the lovers of
good roads and will straighten out thu
