WHY He DIDN'T
LIKE DECISION

10 Helena with the courts" is,
IN affect the opinion entertained of
the judiciary by GuonE Wing,
washeewashee man, who is about
the sorest man in the State of
Montana. In the opinion of the
supreme court of the United
States Guong Wing is not merely
a washee-"ashee man, but a whole
laundry IN himself. What peeves
Guong especially is that . the court
decided that while an Oriental is a
laundry, 9 washwoman, lwhite or
black, is not.
Montana imposes an annual tax
of $40 for the right to conduct a
Laundry in the state. Gunng
objected to paying this assessment,
holding that as he does all his
work by hand he is not a.laundry.
He pointed to the hundreds of
women who take in" washing
without paying a tax, and declared
that his occupation was the same
as theirs.
The Montana courts failed to
uphold his contention, and the
stubborn Guong carried the case
to the United States supreme
court at WASHINGTON, which upheld
the finding of the local courts.
Justice Lurton alone dissenteG
from the opinion If his colleagues,
and Guong got one ray of comfort
out of the fact that at least one
learned and able justice believed
that he was not a laundry.
In the meantime the yellow
human laundry is washing and
ironing away some twenty hours
a day to regain the money he ex-
pended ia his long legal battle

POSTAL SAVING BANK

A novelty among the financial
reports of the new year is the first
annual statement of the operation
of the postal-bank system, showing
$l4,000,000 on deposit at 5185
postoffices.
Many regular savings bank of
the smaller class has a larger total
Of deposits. Nor is this aggregate
\ drop in the bucket by compari-
son with the 1871, 794,533 on
deposit in British postal banks in
1908. But while in England the
plan has been in use for half a
century, in this country it was
tentatively begun year ago. The
point is the practical success of an
experiment about which there was
never the slightest doubt. In the
light of first years business done,
the estimate is conservative one
that when the system is fully
developed and popularized a total
of at least $2OO,OOO,OOO will be
deposited annually in American
postal savings banks.

IMPORTANT DECISION
AFFECTS DESERT LAND

The United States Land Office at
Carson City has decided that the
fact that wild grass grow upon
land does not exclude it from loca-
ton; under desert land act if
artificial irrigation is necessary to
enable a profitable crop of hay to
be cut from such wild grass.
The opinion was given in the
case of Isaac D. Gregg VS.. Key
Pittman. The contestant asserted
title to the land under a homestead
entry and commended that the land
was natural grass land and not
the character anticipated by the
desert land act. The land office
decided against the contestant,
Gregg on two grounds namely,
that he was not a bona fide home
steader in accordance with the
homestead law, and that the land
was. clearly desert land and open
to location and purchase as such
by Key.Pittman.
Another case similar in every
respect to the one mentioned was
that of Frank Wilson against M. G.
Pittman and. the decision as also
in favor of Pittman. The land
involved was located by the
Pittmans in Smoky valley. Gold

keep POLITICS OUT

There seems to be a disposition
IN CERTAIN quarters to inject.
politics into the special session Of
the legislature. While this NAV
be all right from a partisan stand
point, we do not believe it is best
for the state. If Governor Oddie
does not submit anything further
than the financial matter
mentioned in his proclamation to
the legislature. the session should
not last but few days and any
partisan advantage gained by re-
organization of the assembly would
he too trif1ing to mention.
But if Governor Oddie attempts
in any way whatever to put the
democratic senate in a hole, he
should be given all the fight ne
wants and the assembly should be
reorganized if the democrats have
the. necessary votes to overturn
the republican organization. We
hope, however, that the governor
will not listen to partisan advisers
and that the work of the special
session will be quickly and
effectively done on a non-partisan
basis.

HOW LINCOLN PRESENTED
HIS GREAT PROCLAMATION

Laughter, by preserving the
life of the president, saved the
nation in its mortal need" An
old friend of Mr.. Lincoln's. wait
ing outside the door of the execu-
tive office, heard his ringing laugh
within, and remarked to other,
standing near. that laugh is the
presidents life preserver." Lin
coins laugh became contagious.
Infectious, epidemic. The govern
ment. the army. the whole North
learned from him to look on the
bright side of everything.
In that way Abraham Lincoln
came to he the Savior of his
Country. A memorable day on
which he tried to give his nearest
advisers a laughing lesson was in
September. '62. He had called
the Cabinet together for a special
purpose. After they were assem-
bled the story was told years
afterward by Secretary Stanton:
"The President turned to US and
said: .. ~ &c..
Gentlemen, did you ever read
anything from A rtemus Ward?'
mot member of the Cabinet
smiled; as for myself, l was angry
and looked to see what the Presi-
dent meant. 1t seemed to me like
bufoorery. He, however decided
to read to US a chapter from
Artemus Ward, which he did
with great elaboration. Having
finished, he laughed heartily with
out member of the Cabinet join
ing in the laughter.
Well he said, let's have
another chapter. and he read
another chapter, to our great
establishment. / was considering
whether l should rise and leave
the meeting abruptly. when he
threw the book down, heaved a
long sigh. and said:
'"Gentlemen, why don't you
laugh? With the fearful strain
upon Inc night and day, if did
not laugh should die, and you
need this medicine as much as
l do

hat and sat on the table and pulled

Exercise.
Exercise in its. general significance
Is a glorious thing. 1t is not, how
ever, anything much in It's purely
physical sense. Thus, a person with
large muscles and not very big wits
ID of almost no value to society,
whereas person who has exercised
both Is often indispensable. Exercises
for the wits are very difficult. There
is nothing to do 100 times. or so times.
II isenot something to which one can.
give 20 minutes the first thing in the,
morning and then go the rest Of the
day. Socrates, who was the Sandow
OF mental exercise, kept his pupils at
1t pretty much of the time. There is
one phase Of 1t which is especially
hard. This is the exercise Of ones
rights. Unexercised rights are much
worse than unexercised muscles.
Thus. after voting. we are ordinarily
mentally stiff and sore for several
days. This is because, unaccustomed
to exercising our rights, we strain
them.
The secret Of 1t all is to exercise
your muscles little. your wits a liz.
tie and your rights a little. As the
Greeks said, Nothing too much"
