SPOKANE, Feb. 8.-A movement
has been started in the public schools
of this city which is likely to be pro-
ductive of good and far reaching
results. Acting on the suggestion
of Miss Jane Brownlee, principal OF
the La Grange public school at To-
ledo, Ohio, it is stated, about nine
tenths of the teachers in the grade
schools of this city are devoting
La portion of the school day to lessons
and talks on kindness, self-control,
cheerfulness, patience and the like.
A part of eacA day for month
will be devoted to the subject of
kindness, stress being laid on kind
ness to parents, brothers and sisters,
teachers. friends. animals, etc. A diff
ferent subject will be taught during
each month of the year. the topic
next month being cheerfulness.
BY means of daily talks and stories
illustrating these points it is hoped
that much may be accomplished to-
ward building up the characters of
the children while they are in school.

HAMPERS PURE FOOD LAW
terfcrcs With Economical EN-
ecution CT Law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. AT last
he peoples lobby has been heard
from. The head and front of that
organization is out with a4statement
that Congressman Tawney, chairman
Of the house committee on approp-
~iations, has slipped a joker into the
agricultural bill that will to some
extent neutraliEe the effect OF the
pure food law passed a the last ses-
sion.
AS reported, the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, at the end of a sec
tion relating to the bureau of chem
istry, contained an appropriation %
Se50,000 to carry out into effect tbs
provisions of the pure food act.
There was added to this section, On
motion of Representative Tawney, Of
Minnesota, the following amend
ment:
Provided, That no part Of this
sum shall be used fer payment of
compensation or expenses of any Of
ficer or other person employed by
any state, county or municipal gov
eminent"
This amendment, as it stands, is
vigorously objected to by the peo-
pies lobby. That organization de-
ciares that the amendment not only
skaters the plan already adopted
by the department of agriculture, but
if enacted into law,
Would Greatly Interfere.
with efficient and economical execu-
ton Of the pure food law. Such a
provision, it is urged, would forbid
payment TO any state, county or mu-
nicipal official money for an expert
opinion or for services Or for expense
incurred in appearing before court.
Should the provision remain in the
preparation bill, the secretary of
agriculture could not request such an
officer to give expert advice or rer.1er
service, Unless he ulu 81 WltHOUt
enumeration, paying his own expenses.
The amendment would preclude even
the temporary employment of the
best trained talent of the country in
the enforcement Of the law.
When asked about the alleged
Joker, Congressman Tawney said:
IF the peoples lobby put out
such statements as the above, 1t is
an open confession of their ignorance.
The provision which was inserted in
the bill, on my motion, is for the
strict enforcement of law and to
avoid a conflict between federal and
state authority. 1t would be simply
ridiculous for the United States to
turn over, even part of its work to
state officials, who are already pair
for their services is carrying forward
THE pure food law. The federal and
state authorities will cooperate, put
so far as compensation is concerned.

full political influence has enabled
the governor to evade punishment for
his acts, and Secretary Garfield says
that criminal prosecution is now barred
by the statute Of limitations and that
all that a be done is to restore the
land to the public domain.
Mr.. Mann's charges are contained
in a postscript to the Congressional
Record, and are supported by aftid-
avits from agents of the interior de.
partment and other government Off
Gals. They were presented in support
OF Secretary H~itchcock's request for
an appropriation OF $500, 900 to carry
on investiga alton work.
Mr.. Mann says that his limited
investigation of land frauds leads him
to the opinion that the individual
homestead entryman has imposed on
the government only to a very limited
degree, but that fragrant violations OF
the law have been committed by men
representing large cattle interests and
by those who have political promin.

JOHN MAGUIRE IS DEAD.
Pioneer Actor Who Entertained Mon
tana Citizens In Early Days.

BUTTE, March 25.-Word was re.
ceived here yesterday of the death at
Monterey, CAL, of John Mcguire,
one of the best known theatrical men
in the west, the founder of the first
theater in. Butte, and once a resident
of Helena. His name is so closely
associated with the history of the
drama in the west that he may almost
be said to be its father, and most OF
the famous etc who came west in
the early days came through his cir
cult when he managed a number OF
houses.
His life was an eventful one. He
was born in the little town of Butter.
ant, near Mallow, Ireland, Dec. i,
1910, and his earliest impressions were
of the travelling play companies and
of the drama.
As a youth he studied to be a priest,
but gave up the idea before taking
orders, and started to study law.
This he also Abandoned, and took W
the study of the drama. When q boy
of twenty be went to San Francisco,
and went on the stage there. From
there he went to Austr ALA, whence he
returned a few years later and con
tinued to play in American companies
During the following years he was as
ISOLATED with some of the most famous
American actors, the Booths, Edwin
Forrest, Lawrence Barrett, John Nc
Cullough, Augusta Dargon and Ma
tilda Heron.
Mcguire came to Butte in 1875, bu'
soon went on the road again. He re
turned, however, and built a theatel
here, establishing a circuit with thi'
as headquarters. In the early sos 1t
lived in Helena and ran Ming's oper;
house, but returned again to Butte
In 1883 his theater was destroyed b,
fire and it was after this fire that tn

TIMELY ALFALFA AINTS.

In view of the general disposition
among northern Montana ranchers to
increase their acreage Of forage crops,
some hints about seeding and raising
alfalfa will be of interest. They are
given by Professor A. Atkinson, ag-
economist of the state agricultural col.
lege at Bozemau.
When irrigation is practiced it is
best to pillow the ground the fall prev.
ious in order that an early seed bed
may be prepared. AS the crop lasts
q great many years, it is wise econ
omy to thoroughly level the ground
before sowing. Grade off all back
burrows and fill dead burrows. This
greatly facilitates irrig alton and com.
pensates many times for the time spent
in leveling.
Make all irrigation laterals before
sowing and do not put any seed in the
bitches. This effects great saving, as
when alfalfa is growing in the laterals
it causes great hindrance during irri-
CATION.
Do not COW alfalfa in the crowded
corners or along main bitches, as in
these places it is difficult to get it out.
Sow bronze grass, blue joint, or some
grass that will furnish fall pasture.
Seed the ground q early as possible
in the spring, using q press drill to gel

FIGURING Mills Want Wheat.

SEATTLE, March 25.-With not a
wheel in local Touring mills turning
and with no prospect in sight for re-
Stunning operations, mill men of the
sourd are positively demanding
from the railroads that wheat be
hauled to them Immediately, declaring
that otherwise a Ease will be filed with
the state railway commission.
AT a recent meeting between the
heads of the mills on Puget sound and
General Manager Horn, of the Nor
thern Pacific, according to c. A. Pep
low, manager of the Hammond Mill
ing company, Mr.. Horn was told that
the millmen believed they we're being
Disseminated against and that cars
Of wheat, loaded months ago, and
now standing on tracks only 200 miles
from Seattle, should be given prefer
ence over cars of cotton coming from
Texas, when both are being hauled
for the same rate.
Mr.. Peplow added that there are 10,
600, 600 bushels of wheat now EAST O,
the mountains, in the state of Wash
ington alone, waiting to be brought t.
this port, and inability to get car
here has practically ruined the trad
in the Orient that it has taken year
to develop.
