SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS.

The Alabama law, which was de-
signed to prohibit the play Of golf, ten
mis- or baseball on Sunday, has been
declared unconstitutional. The law
was the product Of prohibition or rath.
er Sunday observance wave which
swept the south as a result Of the anti
liquor sentiment. 1t vas probably
brought into being through the activ-
ity Of some of the radicals, who want
ed to extend the closing law to all
sorts OF amusements, instead OF con-
filming it to saloons, and undesirable
places. The activity Of such radicals
will do more to hurt the cause Of pro-
hibition than anything else.
Some of. u broadest thinkers de-
clare that it would. be an absolute In
Justice to eliminate Sunday amuse-
ments. The.all wise creator in design
ing man provided that he should rest
one day out Of seven, that he should
dwell in a different environment than
what he worked in during the other
six. Baseball, tennis, golf, croquet,
innocent sports which are played by
the people Of this nation during their
leisure time furnish the proper sort of
change of environment and take a
mans mind completely away from the
affairs of the week.

scribers to The Gazette have done
their part. The Gazette will now do
its part. The successful young women

will be paid by this paper. The sub
scribers, who so literally assisted the
contestants will receive as their share,
what we believe is mi of the best
daily newspapers published in q town

The contest has been a decided sue
cess. 1t has been the means of adding
to the list Of subscribers of this paper
hundreds Of names, thus increasing
the value Of the paper as an advertis-
ing medium and extended its influence.
With the end Of the contest The Gaz-

young ladies, who have given their
time and energy to make the contest

assisted them, The Gazette wants to
express its appreciation.

ed for other candidates but with lean
ings toward Secretary Taft, concern
ing which much is being said, Is more
than Offset by the number Of dele
gates instructed for Secretary Taft
who have leaning toward other candi-
dates. The situation is more satisfac.
tory to the opposition at this time
than at any time for some weeks, and
justifies the prediction that Taft can
not be nominated on the first or any
ballot"
It is remarkable that in the face of
the fact that the only one Of the larger
states that has Instructed for Taft is
Ohio, his managers seem to claim the
favoritism Of a majority Of the dele
gates elected today. But the figures
show there is bound to be q contest
in the next national convention. That
is why Montana will be wise to send
an uninstructed delegation. It may be
that SO small a delegation as six from
this state: will be able to control the
destiny Of the party In the coming
election. Think what prestige such
a condition would give this state. We
have nothing to lose and everything
to gain by sending the best men Of
the party to Chicago as delegates, in
structed to do what they consider
best for the party, the state and the
nation.

federal court in eastern Montana. The
holding of court here will mean a
flarger public building, when 1t is erect
ed. Billings needs this court and the
attorneys Of the city will be able to
secure it II they unite in the effort.
Billings needs closer relations with
the counties OF northern Wyoming. To
secure closer relations the Frannie-
Fromberg cut OF Of the Burlington
railroad should be constructed. That
will give Billings a morning train,
leaving this city every morning for
the Big Horn basin. The wonderful
increase in business to be sent to
Billings by the creation Of that cut of
must be apparent. The railroad com
pany has decided to build it, but II It
is to be constructed at once, united
effort must be had In bringing pursua-
sion upon the railroad officials.
Billings needs better freight rates.
The rates now are such that Billings
is Disseminated against in favor Of
some other jobbing centers. This can
be remedied If united effort is made.
7 Billings needs more advertising.
Her wonderful resources should be
told throughout the country. It takes
money to do it, but united effort on
the part OF the boosters and small
contributions will do the advertising.
Billings needs more settlers, more
people in the district tributary to her,
more manufactures, nor institutions
that have pay rolls, closer relations
with the surrounding towns and cities
and more harmonious relations at
home. These r but a few Of the
needs Of Billings, which united effort
on the part of the boosters will realize
for her. It is time to bury any diff
ferences that may exist and get to-
gether and boost. Indications are that
this will be done.

SHERIFF JACK HEREFORD.

!. In naming Jack B. Herford as sher-
iff Of Yellowstone county, the board Of
county commissioners laid aside their
political Affiliations and chose n of
the most competent men in the COM
munity. While it is to be regretted
that the new sheriff is not a republi-
can, the party which elected, two of
the members of the board of commits
sioners, who made the appointment, it
is a matter of congratulation, that in
as much as 1t is to be a democrat, 1t
is Mr.: HEREFORD.
The record OF the new sheriff is a
most honorable one, known to most Of
the people of Yellowstone county.
That he is brave and fearless and com
petent none can gainsay. He un-
doubtedly possesses the qualifications
required of the successor Of the late
sherin, whose murderer he ran to
earth. He is much the same type of
man as Jim Webb.
In this connection it might be well
to say something about what the peo-
pie expect Of the new sheriff. They
expect an absolute enforcement of the
law and the carrying on Of the policies
inaugurated BY Sheriff Webb. Sheriff
Herford has the record Of his prede-
cessor in Office as an example and II
he tries to follow in the law enforce
ment path OF Jim Webb he will re-
ceiye the commentator of the best
citizens of Yellowstone county.

DAY is SET.

In line with the suggestion made in
The Gazette, representatives Of the
women's clubs have called upon
Mayor Foster and suggested that he
proclaim Arbor day a local holiday,
set aside for the purpose Of cleaning
up the city and identifying it. The
mayor has practically decided to Is
sue a proclamation.
Arbor day will be the third Thurs
day in April, which this year is the
21st. It is a little more than one
week away, yet in that time the peo-
pie Of Billings have an opportunity to
make preparations for its general OBJ
servance. It is to be hoped that the
lodges, fraternal societies, labor
unions, church organizations, clubs
and commercial organizations will fall
in line and help in making Billings one
of the most beautiful cities in the ma
ton.
In order to make the holiday serve
the purpose for which It will be in

tended every loyal Billings booster
will have to do his part. The day
comes when business is the lightest Of
any time during the week and when
the merchants can best afford to OBJ
serve q holiday and close up their
places Of business, for a portion Of the
day at least, to enable their employees
to participate in the work Of cleaning
and improving the city.
Don't wait to be invited to partici-
pate in preparing for the day but get
busy. Let every man, woman and
child take It upon themselves to
make the work a success and the re-
suit will prove most gratifying to all.

were pointed out by the, supreme

seems to be that the new law will
stand the test OF constitutionality.
The principal upon which the Ster.
ling liability law has been drawn is
equitable and humane. It takes the
view that the employees Of a railroad
are as much public servants as the
civil service employees or the soldiers
and sailors Of our army and navy.

WHAT MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED.

1t is exceedingly gratifying to the
men, who have never ceased to boost
Billings, to note the "get together
spirit" that has taken hold Of Billings
citizens in: general. There seems to
be a determination to work together
for a better and a greater Billings.
This spirit was in. evidence at the re-
cent meeting of the "25, 1000 club and
has eliminated in the desire for a, dol
lar dinner. at, which plans can be
formulated for advertising the ad-
vantages of Billings, improving the
city, morally, socially, attractively and
financially.
Recently The Gazette has called the
attention of the citizens of Billings to
some Of the things, which the people
a secure for themselves If they but
try. That these suggestions have
made an impression was proven by
the addresses at the recent mass meet
ing. Again we want to call attention
to some Of the things that are needed.
Billings needs a general movement
looking to the Improvement Of the
appearance OF the city. Weeds, filth,
rubbish are a detriment to any city
and should be removed. Arbor day Is
to be set aside al a local holiday for
the purpose of permitting the citizens
to unite in an effort to beautify the
city. It comes before the date set for
the dinner, but the observance Of that
day is needed.
Billings needs a public building. The
quarters of the land ONCE, the post
Office, the United States commissioner
and other federal 'ofices here are
crowded. Billings is fast becoming
the headquarters of many government
al departments in the northwest and
the need of a home for the oficials
here Is apparent to the authorities in
Washington. Bills providing for its
construction are before congress. II
the matter is properly taken up by the
citizens of Billings the public building
can be secured.
Billings needs a federal court. Bust
les in Judge Hunts court at Helena
is SO great that the creation of a new
district is needed. Billings is admir-.
ably situated as the place for holding

THE ANTI GAMBLING FIGHT.

Gvernor Hughes of New York evil
IDENTIFY recognizes that the constitution
should be supreme in the state, wheth-
er its provisions agree with the wishes
of the state legislators or not. The
constitution of New York provides
that laws be enacted against all man
lei Of gambling. The legislature in
compliance with the constitution has
enacted an anti gambling law, yet it
has been so dextrously worded that so
far as race track betting and pool sell
ing is concerned it might as well be
blotted from the statute books. It
does not provide any punishment for
such gambling that will bring about
its prohibition. Other forms OF gambl-
ing are absolutely prohibited because
of the penalties attached to the law.
In a message to the state Legislature
the governor urged that body to
amend the law 30 as to carry out the
mandate Of the constitution respect
ing gambling, rae track gambling as
well as other forms Of the vice. In
other words the governor urged that II
one form of gambling was bad under
the law then every form Of gambling
under the law should be considered
bad and should be prohibited. The
logic. Of his reasoning is apparent. But
after n Of the hardest fights ever
witnessed in the New York state SEN
ate, a bill covering his recommends.
tons, was defeated by q tie vote. But
the fight is not yet ended. The COVER.
nor has again urged the legislature to
pass some measure removing the dis,
elimination in favor Of race track
gambling, which practically legalizes
it, and has called attention to the OBJ.
ject OF the gambling clause in the con.
stitution. He has also announced that
he will call a special election to name
q senator to fill a vacancy. The re
suit OF this election will settle the fate
OF the anti gambling fight in New
York for the new senator will have the
controlling vote. No matter what the
result may be it is evident that Cover
nor: Hughes is not going to stop unit.
he has the provisions Of the state con
stitution obeyed. The governor haf
demonstrated that he is a fighter ant
in this fight he should have the mora:
support OF all citizens, not only in New
York, but throughout the country.
