SUGGESTIONS
FROM GOV. S. v. STEWART

I Legislation recommended by Gov.
is. " Stewart in his message read in
joint session before the Fourteenth

Creation of state police, to be
composed of sheriffs, game wardens,
and other officials, to be used liz cases
of emergency, to obviate the necessity
of calling out the national guard.
Abolition of race track gambling
and horse racing. Race track gambl-
ing, the governor declares, is "imIaor-
al, degrading and destructive to good
citizenship" In one community of
the state, he says, "it creates disor-
ders of such nature as to almost en-.
tirely disorganize and disrupt the
usual and ordinary course of busi-
ness"
Recommends the redistribution Of
judges, so that where redistricting is
not practical, judges may be assigned
to counties outside of the districts in
WHICH LHey are olecCeu.
A measure regulating and limiting
the creation of new counties.
A measure to prevent the recently
initiated farm loan act from being lost
in portions, owing to apparent consti-
tutional conflict.
Reduction of expenses in the print
ing appropriations and the discontin-
uance of the printing of the state
treasurer's quarterly report.
Enactment of workingmen's COM
pensation act, which will be reason
able, fair and competent.
Appropriation of considerable
sum for the Panama-Pacific exposition
exhibit to represent Montana, If the
finances of the state will permit.
A law giving the governor power to
fill by appointment vacancies from
Montana in the United States senate.
Appointment to hold until succeeding
election.
Abolition or change OF the grain in
spection law, which the governor de-
clared unsatisfactory.
Provision for convict labor in Mon.
tana, but not on works which would
compete with free labor.
Passage of "local option" herd
law, which would prevent stock run
ming at large in certain sections of the
state.
Recommends the enactment of
law permitting state banks to become
members of the federal reserve banks.
Suggests law under which it will
be possible to make farm loans from
school funds in limited measure.

Pickaninny Babe" was particularly
we'll received. Interlocutor M. G. Nc
Dowell sang I'm the Evening by the
Moonlight in Dear Old Tennessee" o.
C. Cato and Archie Mack both sang
solos, Duncan Mcintyre made popu-
lar the comic song, "I'm the Guy that
Paid the Rent for Mrs. Rip Van
Winkle," and Fred Hoffman did the
same with "I'll Do it All Over Again," "
both tunes being hummed on the
street the following day.
Walter Graft made good, as he al
ways does, with a beautiful bass solo,
when the Rainbow Shines Bright at
Morn; Lee King received a good
hand on his parody on Casey Jones"
and George Lzicar rendered the popu-
lar song "It's Long, Long Way to
Tipperary," like an old time profes-
sional.
Hugh Appleton gave an excellent
portrayal of old time southern darkey
Banjo playing and buck and wing
dancing.
Charles Owens, as the old colOred
soft shoe dancer made decided hit
Others in the circle were: August
Colin, Percy Sawyer, James Martin
Lee Healy, Howard Melaney, and
Frank Kramer.
The singing of the choruses by the
entire company was generally COM
mented upon as being the most melo-
dious and pleasing ensemble singing
ever rendered by local talent.
The OIio Was Excellent
Besides the acts of Ed. Ullman and
Tague & Tague, which were men.
toned above, the Olio consisted of a
vocal duet by Melaney & Mack, in
which Howard Melaney sang from the
audience; two solos by Gerald Hagan
in costume; a short cross-fire dialogue
by Martin e Kramer: and funny
monologue by Fred Hoffman, as "Ash
Box Harry, the Tramp, which was
we'll received. The Olio concluded
with two exceptionally well rendered
solos rendered by Howard Melaney,
the vocal star of the performance, en-
titled "Good Bye, and I'm the Gar
den of My Heart, both of which
brought forth rounds of applause.
The stage setting of the bird and
bower scene for the whistling act Of
Tague & Tague, was Of such pro-
fessional nature that the audience
were held spellbound. This act was
undoubtedly the big hit Of the show.
The Afterpiece
George R. Desch was perfectly at
home in the part of Judge Heinaga-
bubler Klatz, in the one-act farce,
"The Dutch Justice" having played
the part a number of times before.
The same can be said of Thomas F.
Joyce, in the part Of Sam Sleepmore,
the sleepy negro character.

Hans Georgeson, could not have been
placed in more competent hands than
those of Daniel L. O'Hern, and he

tatives in the Fourteenth legislative

room of the Eddy hotel, the demo
cratic members Of the lower house,
voiced their approval of his candi-
dacy by lining up strongly in his
favor, the vote standing 38 to II.
Made It Unanimous
That the meeting carried out the
keynote of the big democratic love
feast which was held the night be-
fore is shown by the fact that immed-
lately upon the announcement OF the
result Of the ballot, DR.. A. d. Macdon-
aid of Flathead county, his only com.
petitor, moved to make the vote unan.
imous The suggestion of the former

and amidst the greatest enthusiasm
and cheers from the 55 members of

given the united support of the legis-
lators of the house.
About the lobbies of the Eddy and
Placer hotels, where members of
both houses, as we'll as politicians
from all over the state gathered in
anxiously awaiting the out
come of the speakership contest, the
news of Mr.. Ramsey's nomination by
the caucus was well received,
Choice is Satisfactory
There were comments on all sides
that he would prove a most capable
and competent official for the position,
because of his wide knowledge of the
legislative needs of Montana, and of
his efficiency as an organizer.
At the conclusion of the vote both
Mr.. Ramsey and Mr.. Macdonald made
brief addresses. The former cordial
ly thanked the members Of the lower
house for the honor they had con-
ferred upon him, while DIR. Macdonald
as he had previously expressed he
would do, bowed to the will of the ma
jority and expressed his Intention of
in any way he could with

demonstrated by his attitude that it
was his intention to invite DR.. Mac
donald to accept preferment and posi-
lion of account in the lower house.

splendid courtesy that had been
shown him by DR.. Macdonald and COM

Nearly a thousand people-men,
women, and children-saw the big
minstrel performances of the Glendive
Dramatic club at the Arcade Opera
House last Saturday and Sunday even
ings, the net proceeds of which was
donated to the Swimming club for
proposed improvements on the Island
next summer.
The productions were pronounced
by all as the most perfect, most en-
joyable and best conducted home-tal-
ent performances ever given in the
city. So unlike amateur performances
were they that many people left the
show house under the impression that
a number Of professionals had been
specially hired for the occasion. AS
a matter of fact quite few of the per-
formers have served their apprentice
ship on the legitimate stage and these
members were cast for the principal
roles.
Nearly All Local Performers
The only out of town performers
were Mr.. Ed Ullman of Great Falls,
who was billed as Morris Kochala-
witch, the Wandering Jew" and Ed.
C. Tague and Leslie Tague, father and
son, of Stipek, who were billed as
"Montanas Premier Whistlers," in
the olio.
The stage was in charge of Master
Mechanic V. A. Lechner, late head
stage man at the Babcock theatre in
Billings, and who is staying at pres
ent in this city.
Fully fifty people each night at
tended from out of town, the cities of
Wibaux, Sidney, Fairview, Circle,
Terry and Stipek being we'll repre-
sented.
The crowd at Sunday nights per-
formance was nearly one hundred
greater than that on Saturday, caused
in great measure by such large
number of people taking in both
shows.
Local Jokes Make Hit
The performances were crowded
with local jokes, and take-offs on well
known, and in many cases popular
citizens, and each sally was greeted
with a volley of uproarious laughter
and applause, the victims in nearly
every case taking the ISLAM" good
naturedly.
The afterpiece, "The Dutch Justice"
was a take-off on the local police
court, both Mayor Hagan and Police
Magistrate Fred Goulding hugely en-
joying the farce both evenings.
Especially meritorious was the en-
semble singing by the entire COM
pany in the first part, southern
wharfing scene entitled "The Happy
Stevedores in Alabama, wherein the
full complement Of twenty-five
voices were heard to the greatest ad-
vantage. The stage setting was novel
and drew forth applause each night
at the rise of the curtain. The light
effects were perfect and were as well
operated as on the professional stage.
Especially successful were the To-
cal jokes by the end men, Messrs.
Dick Statham, Fred Hoffman, Art

 In answer to an inquiry from south Arkansas regarding the effect of the the passage by the last Legislature of the bill to consolidate state and national elections will have on the Democratic state general pri- mary next March, an authority sl- swers that no action has been taken by the Democratic State Central Com mittee relative to changing the date of the primaries. Chairman A. J. Walls of the state committee stated several weeks ago that, so far as he was concerned, there would be no change in the date because the state committee did not have the power to make the change.
 The views expressed by Judge Walls have met with the approval of the majority of the committee, and the primaries will be held on the third Wednesday in March, 1916, the date fixed by the Democratic state conven- tion, which met in Pine Bluff in June. 1914. All candidates for state, dis trict and judicial offices and congress- men will be voted for in that primary.

NO IDEA What Caused the Trouble.

q always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for it seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast If we did not have it on the table.
 T had been troubled for some time with my heart, which did not feel right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
 Sometimes 1t would beat fast, and at other times very slowly, so that I would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if I walked up hill, 1t gave me severe pain.
 q had no idea of what the trouble was until friend suggested that per haps 1t might be coffee drinking. I tried leaving off the coffee and began drinking Postum. The change came quickly. I am glad to say that I am now entirely free from heart trouble and attribute the relief to leaving off coffee and the use of Postum.
 "A number of my friends have aban- doned coffee and have taken up Post um, which they are using steadily. There are some people that make Postum very weak and tasteless, but If made according to directions, it is a very delicious beverage" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Postum comes in two forms:
