WHAT FOOLS MoRTALs BE.


After all we are not very wise in
dealing with obscure but vital ques-
tions that underlie the very founda-
tons of civilized society and alfec,
spiritual and moral health of the
race. We struggle in public over
the responsibility of the law and its
ministers for the disasters that over
take uncared- for youth in the con
gested and Initiated life of cities.
Then ives brink in private from the
frank warning and careful guidance
of ignorant children and the social
education of parents almost as ignor-
ant.
We lament the domestic unhappi-
ness that fills the divorce court with
wrecks of families. We deplore the
errors of hot young blood that wreck
IT
so much raw material before it
reaches the supreme fulillment of
natures purpose in marriage. But
we send authors and publishers to
penitentiary when they try to natur-
alize in the country some of the sci
entiic knowledge of the laws and
conditions of vitality which Euro
pean experience and investigation
have grthered into books of supreme
utility.
We pour out money like water to
endow colleges and universities to
teach everything under the sun from
Sanscrit to making mud pies, except
ing the laws and conditions of that
which the vitality and perpetuity of
the race depend. We teach sons and
daughters everything on earth
except how to be fathers and moth
ers. We shun the supreme subject
like a plague. We cruelty those who
enlighten the ignorance of the
mature and shield the innocence Of
the young.
We drive our sons to advertising
harpies to be poisoned and Aeeced.
We throw our daughters into the
streets with less protection from the
temptations that assail youth than
we give our domestic cattle. Then
we denounce law and government
for not doing the work we have
lazily shirked, and think we can
save children we have doomed tc
ruin by voting for some glib-tongued
moral reformer for municipal Office

Having read law for the last four
years, William Gallagher considers him
self qualified to apply for admission to
the bar. 1t is said that next month he
will appear before the supreme court of
the state for examination and if passed
will hang out his sign in some Montana
city and devote himself to the practice of
the profession.

Heavy Losses.

London, May 27.-The Toxic cor

it is reported unofficially that the
Japanese have captured Kin Chow
and are now attacking Dalny.
London, May 26.-7:20 p. m.-The
correspondent of the Central News
cabled the Japanese attacked Nan
Chun Ling, on the narrowest part OF
the Kwang Tung peninsula, and
drove back the Russians by mann
force. The attcak on t'eng Chou, the
dispatch adds, was begun at day
break and at noon it was in he hands
of the Japanese. The fighting con
! tinued during the afternoon and was
OF a desperate character. 1t is De-
lieved the losses will be heavy.
In an early message the CORE
spondent CT the Central News ca5led
that the Japanese spies had ascer'
tanned the Russians had 80 guns at

WANT THEIR PAY.
Miners at Red Lodge Strike for Due
Wages.

Because they said had not had a
payday for five weeks, % men en-
ployed in sinking a Shaft on the Red
Lodge Coal ccmpany's property threw
down their tools last Wednesday and
refused to wor. any longer. The men
have been working for a contractor
who has the contract for sinking the
new shoft.
The man, Tom Milburn, took the
jcb on condition that he was to draw
no money for his work until a depth
OF 100 feet had been attained. Diff
culties encountered are said to have
delayed progress and the men en-
ployed by Milburn say they have
not been paid for five weeks. Their
grievance was placed before General
Manager Hymer, but he said he was
h~e,rlass, as he could not advance any
mo-iay without breaking the contract
with Milburn. This explanation did
not satisfy them and they walked out,
saying they would work no more UNI
til paid for what they had done al
ready.

REsENrs INSULT TO DOG.
CANNES. Owner. Shoots. Man for
Harsh Words to Pet.

Chester, Mont, May 26.-As a re-
suit of alleged insulting language
used toward a dog, Frank Mosher was
shot and seriously wounded by Les
ter Shafner on the latter's ranch near
here yesterday. The story is that
Mosher had been to the Shaufner
ranch on business, and that as he
started away Shaufner's dog followed
him.
Mosher uttered some harsh words,
and it is said offensive words IN his
efforts to get the dog to go back,
which the owner of the animal re-
scented. Kneeling or the ground, he
took careful aim at the retreating
man and fired. The bullet struck
Mosher just above the hip, inflicting
an ugly wound. 1t is believed that
the wound is not dangerous. The
injured man was taken to Havre for
treatment.
Another version of the trouble be.
tween the two men that led to the
shooting is that when the two men
met one accused the other of having
stolen the dog in question:, and that
forthwith lShaufner ibagan shooting.

THE JAPANESE SOLDIER.
Points About His Rations and His
Ability AS n Fighter,

DS
The other day l spoke of rice and
dried fish being the uniform food Of
the Japanese army in campaigning
times, says a correspondent of London
Truth. This is the way in which the
rice is cooked:
1t is boiled until quite thick and
glutinous. Next it is placed on a
ceramic slab. rolled out and cut into
squares. The squares are then placed
in the sun 10 dry and often turned.
When hard It's sea biscuit and greatly
reduced in weight they can be stored.
A certain number are allowed each
day to the soldier. All he has to do
is to break up a square in boiling wa
ter and to it add the dried fish. In q
few minutes he has what seems to him
a delicious thick soup. If he cannot
procure boiling water he simply eats
his rice cake dry. In the fruit season
he substitutes fruit when he a OBJ
tain it for the fish.
The Japanese soldier, NJ. Pichon tells
me, has muscles like whipcord, is q
sure shot, has an eye for landmarks
and a memory for locality. He can
do with three hours sleep out Of the
twenty-four, is clearly, attends to san
itary instructions. is ardently patri-
otto, holds his life cheap and runs up
hills like a goat. He costs the state
about AZ pence a day and thinks him
self well off.

State Engineer Expresses Himself
on New Irrigation Canal.

State Engineer J. w. Wade has COM
pleted his examination Of the finished
portions of the canal building by the
Billings Land & Irrigation company.
This necessitated a trip over nearly the
full length of the ditch, from Huntley
flats to the source, near Laurel. The in
spection was made under the direction Of
the state land board, and during his
tour Mr.. Wade was accompanied by
Chief Engineer Marvin Chase of the irri-
eating company.
Mr.. Wade's opinion of the work and
the way he regards what is beirg done
is best expressed in his W words. He
said:
"It is a great piece Of work, and l
would be proud of the honor to be able
t say that l did it myself. I regard it
a, about as perfect a piece of canal work
as I have ever seen. l am entirely salts
fed and will SO report to the board.
ga feature of the work that struck me
the most forcibly of the many good fea-
lures is the increase III the grade OF the
canal in the tunnel and fumes. Appar-
: emily it has never occurred to many en-
gineers engaged in that class of con-
struction that water can be elongated by
increasing the speed of its flow. By the
system adopted by Mr.. Chase a smaller
tunnel is forced to do the work and
lessons the strain on the fumes that
would otherwise result were the old
method of grade retained.
"In conclusion l may say that the
canal of the Billings Landand Irrigation
company is one of the very best pieces Of
engineering and construction have ever
inspected in all my experience as an en-
gineer."
