1t is now almost July and the
trustees of district No. %, have
taken no iniative to provide Ro-
nan with additional schools for
the ensuing year. With only two
rooms and the number of pupils
sufficient to fill five or six rooms.
it looks like criminal negligence
to procrastinate in this manner.
None of the teachers employed
have been assigned their schools
either, although there is a de-
mand on their part to know
something about what they may
expect. The chairman's failure
to call a meeting of the trustees,
amounts to a refusal to do so,
and the Roman members D. N.
Mason and DR.. Resner have re-
quested a meeting and still the
chairman has not done so. What
this district needs is a change in
the personel of the trustees by
the removal from office of the
members of the board who are
failing to do their duty.

democrats will be dominated by
the same influence which forced
the nomination of Taft or of the
men who prevented a compro-
mise being made by insisting
upon the nomination Of none
other but Roosevelt.
1t is to be hoped that four
years from now there will not be
a convention held, but that the
voters will be permitted to NOM
mate direct and not leave it pos
sible for such disgraceful things
to be done as the Chicago con-
vention performed. The conven-
ton system was rotten at the
start and grew worse with age.

Freak Heads of Bald Barley

Alex Laflemme brought in a
sample of freak heads of bald
barley last Saturday which he
will attempt to PROPAGATE. This
barley is of the ordinary kind,
except that several additional
heads are growing alongside the
original head, which would in
crease the yield to at least double
what is ordinarily produced. The
three additional heads will make
one more of usual length and all
are apparently we'll filled.

M|SS0ULHS CELEBRATION
WILL Be A HUMMER

That Missoula will have the
largest celebration in it's history
this fourth is evidenced by the
fact that elaborate preparations
are being made by the different
committees having the agar in
charge, and that the two days
program on July 3rd and 4th,
will be of such a character that
every visitor will be assured of a
splendid time.
The large business, civic and
comic float parade with marching
organizations in line will be the
morning attraction of the third;
this will be followed by an ath-
letic program with races and
contests of all kinds, including
two exciting long distance motor
cycle races. In the evening will
be a mask carnival and at dusk
the spectacular illumination of
fireworks from the hills adjacent
to Missoula. On the fourth Sells
Floto's big three ring circus will
be the main attraction, but in
addition there will be dances,
ballgames, races. music and
everything also that goes to
make up q first class national
day celebration.

An Absurd Folly

Inc aCJlOn OIL LHC idlC lldClOil.ll
republican convention in forcing
a nomination which foretold g
bolt, should it do what it did,
was an absurd folly. 1t seems
strange that $40 men could be
sent to republican convention,
and with so little regard for
party success, to renominate
President Taft for another term,
when such action means certain
defeat. Not that the nomination
of Roosevelt would have been
the proper thing, but to the I'M
biased mind it seems like a third
person could have been found
who would have been acceptable
to the party and thereby avoided
Just what happened.
To wreck a party which has
stood for so much during the
past Sc years to simply crafty
the ambition of two men, is a
crime which the delegates to the
national convention should be
convicted of and punished by
being newell again placed in the
leadership of the party. The
willingness to sacrifice every
thing in order that either Taft or
Roosevelt might secure the NOM
nation, is all that concerned the
delegates who favored one or the
other of those two men. To
satisfy the whim or prejudice of
one man, a great party is now
doomed to defeat, and it matters
very little who the opposition
names.
To say that it was a conflict
between progressives and reac-
tionaries and such a fight as was
not susceptible of a compromise,
is begging the question. If it
were not possible for the party
to nominate a man with extreme
views toward progressive prin-
ciples, nor a man with standpat
principles, then why could there
not have been a man selected
with middle ground views, who
would not have disrupted the
party entirely and made all the
chances of election impossible.
There are certainly men with the
ability to fill the office who
are not SO radical either way who
could have been nominated.
Gov. Hadley, Senator Cummins,
Ex-senator Beveridge, Senator
Borah, of the progressive ranks,
Senator Lodge, Senator Burton,
Charles w. Fairbanks, or many
others aligned with the opposi-
ton, might have been named and
any one of them would have
united the party for the cam
paign this fall. Opposed to this
action was the ambition of Roose-
welt to set aside the third term
policy of the country and crafty
his only ambition, as against the
determination of certain men
and interests to force the renom-
ination of President Taft. 1t
seems strange thot enough men
were to be found assembled at
that convention who could be
made to do as they did.
The result will be that many
men who have heretofore stead
tasty voted the republican ticket
will cast their ballots for neither
of them. The democratic candi-
date will fall heir to many of
these votes and the socialist can
didate will receive a surprisingly
large vote. 1t makes the cleo
ton of a democrat almost GER
tain, and with Bryan nominated
there would be no doubt of it.
Progressive republicans will well
come with pleasure an opportun-
ity to so vote, knowing full we'll
that by so doing they are voting
for a man who has at all times
been in the lead on this issue,

Deserters to Be Treated as Subject
to Good Influences.
Washington, D. c. - A sweeping
change in military prison methods was
instituted by order Of the War depart
ment. All of the short-term prison
ers on Alcatraz island, San Francisco,
have been ordered transferred to Fort
Leavenworth, Kan.
All of the long-term pisoners in the
latter prison are to be transferred to
Alcatraz, which will thus be made the
place of confinement for the criminal
element, while Leavenworth will be
the place of detention of soldiers
guilty Of purely military offenses.
To save transportation expenss, a Sec
ond criminal Jail is created at Fort
Jay, Governors island.
The effect of these changes is to
carry out the recently developed Brit
ish system of treating deserters and
the soldiers guilty Of breaches of dis
cipline as subject to reformatory in
fluences and of segregating them from
the absolutely criminal and vicious
class.

ADMIRAL DEWEY IS ~.
Hero of Manila Bay Holds Informal
Birthday Party.


Washington. D. C.-Admiral George
Dewey, celebrated the 74th anniver-
sary of his.birth December 26. Twelve
years after all other naval officers
are by law retired from active serv-
ice, the admiral was busy at his desk.
He received few old friends at his
home in the evening, among the cal
lers being President Taft.
The admiral believes the secret Of
good health is congenial employment.
His walk is brisk, his handclasp as
firm and his energy as abundant as
that of a man many years younger.
He appeared at his office promptly
at 8 o'clock and plunged into his work.
At intervals he was interrupted to re-
ceive greetings and congratulations of
almost all the senior officers of the
navy and army and then again he laid
aside official papers to scan some tel
egram or letter of birthday greeting.
The admiral said he would head the
line of naval officers that would pass
in review before President Taft at the
New Years reception at the White
house.

HOMEMADE SLEIGHT OF HAND
Nuts and Ralsins Are implied Into
Dish by Boy by Means Of Clever
Little Trick.

Try this. trick when you have some
friends to dine with you:
A boy, Tom by name, tried It, and
his friends thought him very clever
Just when dinner was nearly over
Bridget quietly announced that the
grocer must have forgotten to bring
the nuts and raisins. The company
were all more or less disappointed. but
Tom, the host. seemed very angry al
this omission. Impatiently he said to
Bridget, Fetch me the dish In which
the nuts and raisins should have been
served"
Pretending to be very much an.
noyed, he fiourished his napkin vigor'
ously over the empty dish. Then care
fully lifting the napkin, much to the
surprise of all, the dish was revealed
full of nuts and raisins.
This is how Tom managed the trick:
He had gotten Bridget to sew two nap
kins together all around the edges and
to slit one across the middle. The
space between the napkins made q
bag. into which Tom had slipped the
nuts and raisins. He held the bag be-
tween his knees, with another napkin
over his lap. While he was gesticulat-
ing In apparent Disappointment. he
had quickly changed napkins. The trick
was a clever bit Of homemade sleight
OF hand, and all shouted at Toms
cleverness.
