WHEN WAR WILL BE NO MORE

When the idea that might makes right is obso-
lete;
When fnanciers see so clearly war; S bad effect on
business conditions that they fatly refuse to lend to
governments for war purposes the gold without
which fighting men could not be maintained and
other fighting men destroyed
When universal brotherly love takes the place of
the world numerous racial antipathes;
When patriotism is an affection for all that is
great and good in country in time of peace instead
of an unreasonable, blood-thirsty passion;
| When the education of childhood concerns itself
with the heroes of peaceful fields of activity
than with the heroes of fields of battle and incu-
Gates broader love of country than that which
carries with it hatred for other nations;
When women of the world are driven by the
anguish which the clash of brings them to take
a united stand for lasting peace;
| When treaties between nations are so framed as
to exclude clauses through which future msunder-
standings and antagonisms may originate;
When national selfcontrol ever gets the better of
national .excitability
When the fact is fully realized that mo war is
|inevitable;'
When ambitions for conquest, for glory, for
power are unthought Of
When all governments take the attitude of serene
|unguardedness rather than of expectant defense;
When the principles guiding nations and human
beings are completely changed;
When in short, all the world is revolutionized
Then and then only will war be no more.

to his own satisfaction that there is no very great
amount of public satisfaction in favor of laurel for
the states official posey, prove that the Governor
made most careful research in at least three dis
tinctly different directions before he made up has
mind on the subject of signing vetong the laurel
bill
Such thoroughness in considering such COM
paratively harmless measure as the bill designating
an official state flower at time when it is known
the Governor is giving most serious and thoughtful
consideration to legislative matters of most vital
importance to the state, may be taken as an indca-
ton that all bills whether important or otherwise,
will be scrutinized with the utmost thoroughness
and caution when they reach Governor Brumbaugh.
Assuming then, that all bills are to be examined
as carefully as the mountain laurel bl it is pretty
safe to conclude that none of the more important
measures will get by the gubernatorial dlssecting
room without the poisonous virus being extracted
from their views

ANOTHER GENIUS DIES POOR

The fact that Morgan Robertson, prolific writer
of stories of the sea, who died on Wednesday, had
been in straitened circumstances in recent years. is
not surprising.
Even before the death of this remarkable charac
ter had called special attention to his poverty, the
facts of the matter publicly known. The
author of two hundred stories not long ago told of
his financial circumstances in unsigned autob
ography. His friends at the time of his death
making efforts to aid him and his publishers had
been endeavoring earnestly to increase the popu-
larity of his works in book form and thereby in
crease his royaltes-royaties which, no matter
how large they become will be of no earthly or
earthly use to him now.
The fact that Morgan Robertson did not profit
financially from his literary work to sufficient
extent to keep him comfortable in the closing years
of his life is not surprising because it is so usual
for a man of his occupation. business man or
man engaged in other profession than that of
authorship may receive substantial rewards for his
services during the period of his activity and be
able, to retire on steady income in after life. A
man of literary genius, however, must often be con
tent with comparatively small receipts from his
labors while he abors, run the risk of dying poor
like most of his predecessors in his profession and
In recently published treatise on Robert Louis
Stevenson it is said that this gifted writer was
earning less than 81 800 year when thirty-three
years DID, which in the latter part of his short
life.
Some present day men of letters are of course
making fortunes through their typewriter ribbons.
They are exceptions in their profession As a rule
they prospering because their books are tenn
porarily popular and are having big sales At all
events they are engaged in honorable work and
their industry, if not always their genius deserves
to be literally rewarded
Morgan Robertson certainly had genius but he
lacked steady industry. He was reckless in his
literary work. He wrote from inspiration it seems
rather than from necessity. He was not apt to en-
gage in the occupation of literary hack, and to
''saw wood, as Eugene Field would say AS a con-
sequence another addition has been made to the
roster of destitute geniuses.

WATCH FOR MORE POISON, GOVERNOR!

Pennsylvania still is without a state flower
Governor Tener, during his administration, ruth
lessly swung his veto the roots of the gentle
violet after bill designating it was passed by
both branches of the Legislature, and yesterday
Governor Brumbaugh with scratch of his pen put
an end to the plan to make mountain laurel the
states official floral emblem.
Of course it isn't going to make great deal of
difference in the peace of mind or happiness of the
people of Pennsylvania whether mountain laurel,
or the sun-fower, or the night blooming cereus, or
just plain yellow pumpkin blossom ultimately is
selected for the state flower; or whether we have
any state flower at ALL for that matter The idea
of having one is pretty bit of sentiment which
might give little pleasure to people at times
or which might increase florists sales on state
occasions On the other hand if laurel had become
he state flower and if its leaves are poisonous, as
Governor Brumbaugh says some authorities declare,
hen a few more Pennsylvanians than now might
suffer from time to time with inflamed fingers due
TO handling it more frequently.
But all things considered it does not matter
nuch whether there is state flower or not Yet
Ehe Governors veto message on the subject is not
without some rather important significance For
Instance it indicates beyond all doubt that Gov
rnOr Brumbaugh is giving the closest sort of scru-
Finy to every proposed law that comes to him from

IMPOSSIBLE PROBLEMS.
Squaring the Circle, Perpetual Motion
and Defying Gravtation.

Squarins the Circle, Perpetual Motion
and Defyins Gravitation.
The circle has never been exactly
squared. They have been trying dur
ing 5000 years and have not yet found
the length of the side of square equal
in area to any given circle. The reason
of this is because the area Of circle
has never been found, and this because
the ratio of the diameter to the cir
eumference is yet unknown.
The first eleven figures Of the ratio,
3. 3.1415926535,' are mere beginning.
They have been computed out to G35
figures without the decimal coming to
nm end-that is, the figures representing
the length of the circumference and of
the diameter are known to be incom-
measurable. or impossible to express
by two whole numbers.
The enormous labor of carrying out
this dividing Of 635 integers could have
as well been saved, because the higher
mathematics has proved that the ratio
cannot be expressed IN q finite number
of terms. Hence the work Of attempt.
ing to square the circle is wasted.

ual motion seekers, searchers after the
square root of one-half and overthrow

German Students IN the War

Complete statistics of the German
and Austro Hungarian universities and
technical institutes show that out Of a
total of 93,446 students, 49,720 are
in the war In Germany Sc per cent
of the university students and almost
62 per cent. of those at the technical
Institutes are in the war, and already
1,0S1 of them have fallen. From the
German universities and technical
schools 1885 professors have gone into
the war and 80 have been killed. The
percentage of Austro- Hungarian stu
dents under arms is not SO high as that
of German students, somewhat less than
so per cent. having gone to the front.
These figures reach to December Is.

Seized for Selling Traitor Powders

Five persons are under arresti in
Paris, charged with participation in a
conspiracy to supply soldiers at the
front with the means of trcking the
army surgeons and getting themselves
sent home as no longer fit for military
service. Several days ago the postal
authorities opened an envelope adj
dressed to a soldier, and found four
packets of grayish powder, wraFed
in a sheet of notepaper which bore the
following message:
"Dear Husband have at last dis.
covered a powder which will give you
such palpitations of the heart that the
surgeons will send you home"
The police Immediately arrested the
writer of the note, and her confession
resulted in the arrest of gang of FIVE
whom it is alleged, had been driving a
lucrative trade in the sale of the
traitor powders" to soldiers at the
front. Whether the powders were real.

The Governor New Footman

The new footman on the Executive
Mansion automobile, which carries IL
cense number /, is an object of much
curiosity to those who have business at
the capitol. Every day, as the hour of
l clock approaches, the automobile
swings up the driveway from Third
street to the south wing door and takes
position in the small alcove at one
side. The liveried footman hops out,
advances with measured stride and
much dignity. to the front of the en-
trance, takes up position, assumes a
military attitude and awaits the ap-
pearance of Governor Brumbaugh to be
taken home for luncheon.
While standing in position this new
footman is oblivious to everything in
the vicinity. Those who see him know
that the Governor will soon appear,
and begin to fringe the curb along the
flower bed. The footman does not see
one of them. He never bats an eye. He
looks neither to the left nor to the
right. His gaze is riveted ON the door
whence the Governor will soon emerge,
and he has no time for anything else.
Pretty soon the Governor appears at
the doorway, the new footman bounds
forward and opens the autocar door,
the Governor takes his seat, the foot
man jumps to his place and away they

NEW LAWYER IN TOWN

, Hamilton Wright has closed his
law office at Helena and will now
be associated with John w. Jones

'tion for the practice of his profession
covers period of II years, beginning
with his service in Washington, d.
c., in the department of the interior
from 1903 to 1904; he then received
AN appointment to the Blackfoot land
office where he served until 1907,
and was then transferred to the
Helena district in Montana, where he
'acted as special agent, and his work
covered a wide range, not only in
Montana, but he was sent on special
work in many other states, making
an exceptionally good record.
In 1910 he resigned his position
as special agent to enter into the
active practice of the law, and opened
IAN office at Roundup, Montana. He
also spent one year at Ann Arbor
