When those are procured, charges
will be formulated and supplied to

As to the Gambling Law.

n dispatch from Helena says: Attor.
ney General Galen said he proposed to
see that there was a vigorous enforce
ment of the Griffin an%ti-gambling law.
He added that while he had not issued
any special. instructions to civil Off.
GERS, whose dnty 1t was to enforce the
law, he wished it understood by all
that it must be rigidly adhered to.
He calls attention to the fact that the
new law provides for contiscatiou OF
all gambling paraphernalia, including
slot machines, its delivery to commit
ting magistrate and its public destruc.
ton under the nuisance abatemen,
provisions, and the further facts tina,
it is the duty Of officials to arrest al,
persons having such property in thei,
possession.
Mr.. Galeu said that sociable game:
could not be stopped, for the reaso,
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1907-04-10

that there is no law against treating:
that means that should several per-
sons play a game of solo, whist or
euchre, and during it's process one
should be defeated, he would naturally
be expected by his associates to
''treat' to the cigars or drinks, but
could not be compelled to do So. For
such a game there is no prohibition,
even though it be tacitly understood
that the loser was to pay. But if
chips or cigars we're used as "stakes,'
they would be representative of value,
and therefore the playing of such a
game would be a violation.
AS to bridge whist, If played for a
consideration, the attorney general
said that it would be q clear violation
of the law, even though not specifically
mentioned he said it would be more
difficult, perhaps, to convict a person
on this because of the fact that chips
were not used, but thought that the
account showing the score wonld be
regarded by q jury as convincing
evidence.

Distributing immigrants.

Energetic effort on the part of
southern states and western railways
and employment bureaus is bearing
fruit. Railway and federal reports
indicate that during 1906 a major por.
ton of the immigrants, instead of
budding in the slums of the cities of
the east, pushed on into the rural
districts where all probably found
work and sustenance. The figures of
railroads operating west of Chicago
r significant. For the year the
earnings on immigrant business were
almost twice that of any previous
year. The immigration records were
smashed at ports of entry in 1906 and
had the influx not been directed to un-
crowded fields much suffering must
have resulted. One difficulty confronts
the immigrant in entering an agricul'
tural community: he is not q farmer.
Most of the present immigrants, drawn
from southern and southwestern Eu'
rope, are poor people from the cities,
not from the rural districts. The
landholders as a rule do not leave
Europe. But the great demand in
this country for unskilled labor in
the open appears to afford assimila'
tion for immigration for some year:
to come. The south clamors for the
immigrant and the west has plenty o.
room for him. If he can be induced
to 60 forth into the frontiers and sup
port himself, instead of starving ir
the cities and crowded eastern states,
he may prove a blessing although the
economic assimilation of the immi
grant does not imply solution of tha'
other and graver problem in his po'

A further decision of the commission
will be to request the department OF
justice to compel E. Fl. Hartman to
answer questions pertaining to his
case as a private individual which he
declined to answer when be was on
the witness stand. 1t may be that
counsel for Hartman will seek to
avoid such proceedings by giving the
commission the information it desires
but this is a remote possibility. The
commission is satisfied that under the
power granted it by existing law its
authority to demand answers to per.

Trying To Solve Race Problems.

ATLANTA. Ca, April 1.-Two great
movements looking to the solution of
the a problem in the south, espe-
cially in Georgia, have been launched
and have gained the support OF some
of the most prominent men in the
country, according to a statement
made by q conference of the Atlanta
Evangelical Minister'S association to-
day. One movement is being urged
by DR.. John f. White, pastor of the
First Baptist church, who reported to
the conference that it is gaining great
Roadway.
"Five OF the wealthiest men of the
SOUTH" DR.. White stated, shave put
all they have back Of this movemant.
We contemplate the organization OF
all the moral forces of the south in
one great body and the appointment
of q commission, composed Of the best
and most learned men of the south, to
handle the problem and deal with the
stu alton affecting the relationship OF
the races
The other movement is being fos'
tered by former Gov. w. j. Northern
of Georgia, who has been urging ir
speeches all over the state the estab'
lishmeut of better relations between
the races. The plan contemplates the
selection of a state commission, com
posed Of lawyers, whose duty it shall
be to have the laws Of the state so re
vised as to do away with the presen'
objections to the legal manner Of try
ing and Furnishing persons charged
with criminal assault, and to provide
for the punishment of the leaders aut
members OF mobs.

THE SCAB INSECT.

OF all parasites that torture animals !
one of the most troublesome is the scab
mite when it attacks shcep.Elt is very
i%nfrequent in the flOcks in the middle
and eastern states, but is very preva-
lent in the tlocks on the southern and
western ranges. Like most parasitic
contagious, the scab insect Is infec-
tious and thorough treatment and
segregation are necessary to eradicate
the parasite. Among western flock
masters the scab insect is about as
extensive in its ravagcs OF a flock as
a drought or northern blizzard which
covers the ranges and forces the star
walton of the flock.
The scab insect is so small that it is
not easily discernible without the aid
Of a magnifying glass. 1t fastens it.
self upon the skin of the sheep and by
constant irritation causes u fluid to
exude on which it subsists.
Long continued irritation causes q
scab to form under which the parasite
deposits its eggs, the young mites
feeding on the fluids of the sheep until
they mature, when they emerge from
the place of their development and!like
their ancestors fasten themselves on
the skin Of the animal and enter0upon
the work of reproduction Of their
species. 1t is estimated that each fe-

fresh attacks OF the parasite andj tn

that a sheep attacked by scab will il

THE NEW GAMBLING LAW.

Much has been published by the
press of the state concerning the gam
bling bill, which went into effect yes
terday.
The supposed stringency of the
measure has been extensively com.
mented upon, and it has been sug'
gested that it prohibited the playing
of cards by private individuals in the
sanctuary of their own homes.
Last Friday morning the Miner::pub-
lished q very comprehensive interview
with Mr.. William Scsllon regarding
all the enactments of the late legisla-
ture, and he pointed out that:the Ipro.
hibitions against card playing for
things of value were no;stronger IN.
der the new bill than they were under
the old one.
The public memory %his1often Ishort,
but if it we're not so it would remem.
Der that six years ago. when the bill
which was repealed yesterday went
into force, there was the same talk
about card parties being raided in
private residences and at society
gatherings.
These laws have been drawn close
ly, and possibly under a strict con-
struction of the old measure it was
unlawful to play cards for a vase or
other prize, but the intention of the
la ~ olyorS hos N hn talyan infn Cnr-
sideration when such acts are con.
strued, and certainly no one can be-
lieve that they intended to make ille'
gal the innocent indulgence in card
playing as a pastime among those
who enjoy that sort of diversion.
The intention of all such laws is to
put a stop to public gambling lin sa.
looms and places of that kind, and in
order to do this it is necessary to
frame the law so hat it does not in
clude any exceptions, otherwise il
might come under the head of class
legislation, or something OF that kind
There is a defined line between play
ing cards for recreation and playing
them for money.
In the one case it is merely a ques'
ton Of mental diversion, while in .tht
other it becomes a serious matter, t(
which many persons devote their lives
and become professional gamblers.
All laws of this character aim a
eliminating the professional element
but not at prohibiting theIsocial gam,
at which no money is wagered.
To make the law constitutional /
may be necessary TO make it very in
elusive ia its terms, but the enforce
ment Of such acts Is always a matte
in which officers are supposed to eX
ercise a little common sense an
judgment.-Butte Miner.
