OF INTEREST TO

The legislature OF Montana last year de-
bated a law requiring newspaper man.
ayers to print the first page of their
respective newspapers, once month, a
statement setting forth name Of owner
ship and signed by the editor or tho re-
sponslbe writer In charge Of The paper.
The purpose Of such legislation Is plain.
To suppress newspaper criticism of COR
rupt measures and to enable members OF
the legislature to provide remedy against
corrupt newspapers.
A newspaper Is what the people who
support 1t are. A river Will not rise higher
than Its source. A newspaper Is only sue
cessfuI and influential to the degree that
1t gets Into harmony with that lndefinabIe
something called public opinion. This
public opinion Is In reality reason applied
to interpret the convictions of the most
enlightened members of the community
concerning politics, morals and the duties
Of good citizenship.
works within these lines Is respected, tn-
fluentlal and prosperous, and prosperous
because It realizes It's responsibilities to
the public. We are not all In the world to
try to play Hamiets, but we must all do
our best to play our part In life, to help
others and In turn to be helped by them.
To give direction and force to this sentI.
ment for the public welfare, no force has
as yet appeared In the world equal to the
conscientIousIy managed newspaper with
news columns.

"a buncIe Is Boil. 7.
Insurance Commissioners Dearth is
called on to decide whether a carbuncle
is a boil. This fine point in diagnosis
comes up to- him in claim made, by
Fowler Middleton of Eagle Bend against
the Northwestern Casualty company Of
Milwaukee. Middleton took out health
indemnity policy, which insured him
against long list Of ailments, including
boils. He grew a crop2of carbuncles which
made him sick. but the company refused
to pay on the ground that the, policy did
not cover carbuncles.
When the controversy came up to Mr..
Dearth he noted that the company was
one not licensed in Minnesota. He was
about to proceed against John e. Wood
ing of West Duluth, the agent who wrote
the policy, when he found that the appli-
cation was written on bridge between
Wisconsin and Minnesota, and he could
not prove that, it was written in Mime
sofa, SO the agent cannot be prosecuted.

beeen decided in favor Of the state, while
one, the railroad merger litigation, re-
mains undetermined, and the other, the
Anderson bill litigation, while lost, was

ghanies which had often been hunted

rodes, Arbogasts and others and was
finally killed by Mr.. Ernest Berkeley.
This is bruins record which is respect
fully referred to the bear hunter of the
city clerks Office for his comment, if
not bis consolation.
By actual count he has killed over
one hundred sheep, worth from $500 to
1925. There possibly were no stilliards
that would draw the hams but they
were supposed to weigh from $50 to 700
pounds. The hide after it was dressed
and shaved of all meat and fat weigh.
ed 80 lbs, and measured from head to
tail s feet four inches and from toe to
toe just s feet. 1t actually covers the
whole gable end of Jeremiah Winners
house and is supposed to be worth
from $50 to 800. The bear cut inches
of solid fat on the back and took nine
men to carry it only a short distance.
