Interprets Anti-G Gambling Law.

There appears to be a difference of
opinion among the legal fraternity as
to the scope Of the anti-gambling law
enacted by the state legislature. Some
hold that it applies only to the pro.
prietors of the games and owners of
the buildings in which they are con-
Quoted, while others contend that it's
provisions extend to every person who
takes part in a prohibited game.
The opinion of Attorney General
Galen regarding the matter is given
in a Helena news item which says: In
reply to an inquiry from .. NJ. Har-
vey, county attorney Of Park, asking
for a construction of the anti gambling
law, Attorney General Galen holds
that persons who, meeting casually on
the street, agree to go to "a certain
place to play poker or solo for money
or other representatives of value, are
equally liable and all come within the
operation Of the statute and that each
person is eqally guilty Of ''opening
conducting, operating and running
such a game

an unexpected and important matter

development of the agricultural wealth
which as yet lies largely dormant.
The advent of the Milwaukee railroad
will assist largely in bringing about
this greatly.to.be-desired state OF at
fairs. That road makes it a practice
to literally advertise the agricultural
regions through which it passes, and
its efforts in that line must inevitably
stimulate the Northern Pacific, the
Great Northern and the Burlington to
efforts along the same line.
During the past years the
population of the Dakotas has nearly
doubled, thanks to the efforts of the
newspapers, the railroads and the
real estate men in proclaiming the
merits of those states to the residents
OF the other states Of the union. While
this has been going or and while

have emigrated to the Canadian north

by to a very large extent. This should
no longer be the case. and that it will
no longer be so is already evident
thus early in the year.
But the advertisements by the rail

papers should be supplemented by the
efforts of the real estate men and the
residents of the respective communi'
ties of the tate. The railroads and
the newspapers, while they will natur.

WELCOME THE SETTLERS.

1t is announced by the immigration
officials of the various railroads that
large numbers of settlers will come to
Montana this year, and in many To-
calities preparations are being made
to give them a cordial welcome. The
matter is presented to its constituency
by the Red Lodge Picket in these re-
marks, which will also apply to other
parts Of the state:
Montana has every reason to expect
a heavy immigration into the state
this year, and it should prepare to
greet the newcomers cordially and to
convince them that no state in the
union offers better openings for the
homeseeker than this state does. Mon.

exploiting her mineral wealth. While

by no other state, has been content to
take what comes to her in that respect,
while advertising her wealth Of cop

At what age is a man eligible for the presidency Of the United States.
At thirtyt6ve years.
Must he be native of the United States?
No. But he must be what the constitution describes as "a natura,
born citizen" which means that he must be born either in the United
States II of parents who n citizens of the United States temporarily
sojournng abroad.
outside the United States?
Certainly. Mayor Mcclellan Of New York, who was born in Sax
ony while his parents were visiting there, is a natural born citizen Of
the United States and therefore eligible to the presidency. He is a
natural born American citizen because his parents we're American cit
liens at the time of his birth.
Is the president elected by popular vote'
He is not. He is elected by a body of men called the electoral col
lege, each member of which is called a presidential e1ector.
By whom are the presidential electors elected?
BY the people. In each state the electors are chosen by the votens
on a general state ticket.
How long is the term for which the president is electedl
-Four years.
Is he eligible for q third term7
He is. There is n 0 constitutional prohibition, though there is q
"third term tradition" which by popular demand. limits a president to
two terms, and thus far this demand never has been overcome.

PROTESTING IN WHISPERS.

Some remarkable advice vas ex.
tended to its readers recently by the
Great Falls Tribune, in discussing
the relations that should exist be.
tween the railroads and the people.
It was submitted that the GUILTY. alton
OF friendly relations between all par
ties interested in the transportation
business is desirable, and the citizens
of Great Falls we're warned that criti'
cism of railroad methods may be re.
scented in a way that will affect their
personal welfare. The kickers were
advised that their alleged hostile at.
titude would discourage the building
OF new railroads in Cascade county,
and might result in depriving Great
Falls shippers of some Of the favora-
BILE consider alton heretofore received
from railroad officials.
This advice, it is presumed, applied
to public criticism that might possibly
attract the attention of the parties
against whom it: was directed. Elk.
pressions Of disapproval, provoked
by conditions THAT. call for protest,
should be made in whispers that can
not reach the!ears Of those who may
be in a position to retaliate.
These suggestions will not meet with
favor among citizens who know their
rights and are ready to fight for them.
Az common carriers, the railroads
are the servants of the people, but in
come of their dealings with the public
these positions appear to have been
reversed. The granting Of favors in
rates or quality of service to one To-
cality, or refusal to provide adequate
and satisfactory facilities to other
shippers, is q violation Of the duty q
railroad has agreed to perform. A
railroad is exceeding its legitim ate
functions when it extends favors to
any shipper or locality that are de-
MED to other patrons, and the latter
are justified in resorting to public
protest or an appeal to the law max
ing power to secure a "square deal
in the matter.
Whatever anti.railroad sentimen,
exists among the people today is due
