The world grows old, and the stars
will cease to illuminate it, and the
waters, to refresh it, and the noun
tains to guard it and its long story of
sin and shame and glory and triumph
will soon turn to ashes but influences
which sta rted in the early home roll
on and roll up through all eternity
blooming in all the JOY, waving in all
the triumph, or shrinking back into all
the darkness. Father, mother, which
way are you leading your children?

To THE HERALD:
II you will grant me space to say,
most too horrible to contemplate was
the way ou- soldiers and police, in
Lawrence, Mass, did. In Kansas City
Star, February 25th, on front page is
graphic description OF how women and
children were treated in our civilized,
christian u. s. A. read with interest
until / saw where Mrs. Jennie Lewis
attempting to board the train with her
four year old daughter and the police
man testified that when he pushed the
woman from the train and tried to
take her children from her the woman
hit and scratched him and tried to bite
him. There is scarcely human being
who does not admire the lioness for
dying to protect her young, but the
police who would arrest and the Judge
who would fine woman for protecting
her young (it seems to mel would ask
Pharo and Herod, who ordered the
male infants killed in Egypt and Beth
lehem, to tip their crowns to them.
Mrs. Lewis and Mr.. Fitchburg's
names will long live in the memory Of
man with utmost respect, while the
police and Judge will sink with their
own name TO the very bottom of infamy
and they will only liye in the memory

People always speak well of boy
who minds his own business and who
seems to be disposed to be somebody
in time. This is a queer world many
people are watching us, and help often
comes VIXEN and from whom we least
expect. Confidence is the safe in which
men often deposit rich treasures and
as you prove worthy so will your re-
ward of success be. There is reward
in success, which none but those who
strive can enjoy. Deserve success and
it will come.

GREAT FALL OF SNOW
COVERS THE SUMMIT

Wallace, Jan. 11.-(Special) )-F'rom
eight to ten feet of snow on the level
Is reported on the divide between Idaho
and Montana, and with the heavy
snowfall that has not shown signs of
abatement, 1t Is believed the record of
several years will be broken this win
ter. The same condition prevails
throughout the district. In Wallace
the depth averages more than three
feet, and the street department Is busy
keeping the downtown streets and
sidewalks open to travel. From Kcl-
logg and Wardner nearly four feet is
reported, and many of the older
houses are being kept clear by strenu-
GUS efforts, to prevent their roofs from
collapsing. While the inconvenience
at this time is considerable, the heavy
fall of snow came at an opportune
time and Is welcomed by mining men,
to whom the assurance of plenty of
water for next seasons operations is
given.

SLEEPING CAR TAX
Y IS NO GOOD
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS
MONEY CAN'T BE COLLECTED
FOR INTERSTATE TRAFFIC.

Helena, Jan. Especially Though
the Twelfth legislative assembly
passed an act providing for the pay
ment OF a license tax of 800 on
sleeping cars used in Montana by the
railroad companies, no such tax can
be collected under the state of facts
that exist, according to an opinion
rendered today by Attorney General
Galen to State Treasurer Il. Il. Es-
selystyn.
The several railroad companies op-
Grating In the state transmitted af-
fidavits To the state treasurer de-
failing the number of sleeping cars
used in Montana since the passage Of
the license act, and further setting
forth that all such cars were used in
Interstate business, and that not one
was used in purely local or intra-
state business
1T is my opinion" said Mr.. Galen,
that the question involved has been
clearly passed upon by the supreme
court Of this state, under statute
similar in character, in the case of the
state versus the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company t27 Mont, 49D.
Upon the authority, then, of the above
cited case. 1t is my opinion that the
evident intention of the legislature in
passing chapter 141. laws of 1911, was
to impose the license tax OF 800 on
each sleeping car used In purely local
or intrastatc business and that as to
sleeping cars used in interstate busi-
ness. II was intended to have no ap-
plication whatever.
"The reports of the companies show
that all OF the cars used by them
We're used In Interstate business and
that they operated no sleeping cars
in purely local or intrastate business
within the period of time covered by
the report. There is nothing for you
to do but to receive and file the re-
port, no license tax being required
under the act in question for either
of the cars referred to In either of the
reports"

CONTRACT FOR POOR
RULED UPON

Helena, Jan. 11.-(Special)-T
supreme court held today In the case
of William Stuewe against the board
OF county commissioners of this coun-
ty, that the board which gave VIII
liam Holdbrook a contract for two
years for the care Of the poor over
stepped Its authority, in that It has
not the power to let contract for a
longer term than one year. The
court also holds that IN letting a con
tract of the kind named, the board
must exercise its best judgment and
discretion. and such discretion being
honestly exercised. the court cannot
direct what particular conclusion the
board should reach. The court says
the points to be determined by the
board In letting contract for the
care of the poor are the responsibility
OF the bidders, their suitability, which
Of the bidders possessing the qualifi-
cations Of responsibility is the lowest,
and whether 1t is to the best inter-
est Of the county that superin-
tendent be employed and the poor
cared for by the direct method, In
preference to caring for them at any
