MONTANA RAPIDLY ]. COMING ID FRONT AS WHEAT PRODUCER Wool and Cattle Also Add Enormously to States
 Wealth This Year BIC RESOURCES OF COPPER AND SILVER "The First Two Weeks of August Offered Ideal Weather for Har-
 vesting Wheat Crop in
 the Northwest
 
By HOLLAND

New York, August 20-(Special )-Jn some respects the state of Montana is likely to make a record this year which may justly entitle it to the name of tle banner state. This distinction, however must be based upon a comparison with the records made by the state in other years and also by the records made by other states as producers of harvests. For many years Montana was chiefly distinguished for the value of her min fi4ral output. From her soil has been brought copper each year which a few years ago was substantially one-half of the entire output of the United States for single year and oue -quar- ter of the output of the world. Further more, Montana and Colorado have been for years in close rivalry for pre- ' sminence as producers of silver Mon- tana's output in recent years of silver has been of the money value. on the average. of $1O.000.00o.
 Because of the prominence, and with respect to copper the .pre-eminence of Montana as mining state, little need has been paid to the rapid development of that state in agriculture. The state does produce cattle in considerable amounts, and horses, but outside of it's mining resources and the vast amount of wealth yearly taken from its mines. Montana has been until recently chiefly noted for its production of sheep and wool.
 The record which Montana will make this year in agriculture. according to authoritative reports received today in this city will probably be, comparative ly speaking, as good as the record made by any other state. The harvests are about completed in Montana and 1t i6 about to send to the markets the largest wheat crop ever garnered in tho state. Ten or 12 yearssago, Montana was not regarded as giving good prom sfse of becoming wheat producing state upon a large scale, As recently as

run into cities where stops are made, is certainly worth something to these rail- roads. We are not cheap in this matter but the railroads seem to have but one interest. We have planned to favor as many of the southern cities as possible. and we want to carry out this programme. more for the benefit of the southern folks than ourselves, if the railroads of the sec- tion show the proper interest in their own people by fixing reasonable rates
 So serious has become the question of rates and the southern cities affected that n special meeting of the committee has been called. At this meet. g the en- tire matter will be threshed out and the committee's course as to changes in the itinerary will be decided upon. The meet ing will take place Monday afternoon.

The Seven Seas

The seven seas" Is a phrase which Ereets the eye on many a page. Sail Ing the seven seas.' Mistress of tho seven seas" etc, are phrases so often encountered that several scholarly .nen have sought to trace the origin of the reference. The quest seems not tc have resulted satisfactorily, and tie matter remains in dispute One sct the Interesting features brought out by the controversy Is that as employed many centuries ago, "the seven seas did not include either the Atlantic or Pacific ocean. but referred to the Arab ian sea. the Persian sea. the Red sea, me Caspian sea- the Black sea, the Mediterranean sea and the Adriatic eea

standardized procedure and technical rul- ngs which can only be manipulated by those judges and lawyers who are sklleJ through training and experience. Minds of this type. the mind of the prosecutor, the prober, the balancer of technical de- tail on statutory rulings, lack power to SC penetrate the soul and mind Of the pris- oner at the bar as to perform an accurate examination on which to predict the ac- tual result of the application of the reme- dial measures which it has been the func- ton of the judge to prescribe.
 The trained physician. or psychologist. even under the most advantageous cir cumstances in which the relation of the individual examined to the examiner IS s.li that could be desired in order to secure accurate knowledge, would absolutely re- fuse to claim power to determine to a das , when cure will be effected. The doctor hopes to cure a cold in two days and It takes two weeks; the judge knowing the details of one crime. or even of a series of crimes. attempts to penetrate the mind of a man and determine what manner of man he is. and on the conclusions thus formed to decide the cure.
 Again. statistics show that the attitude of the individual judge tends to vary the sentence and that for the same crime one judge will give long and another q short sentence; while even the most coII- scientious of judges is more severe after a night of insomnia or an ill-digested lunch
 The first requisite of cure is to satisfy the prisoner and those interested in him that justice has been done, both to him and to society. Under the present system If justice is done in one case, 1t fails in another. and, as there is no way to tell which decision correct, the natural con cluson of the offenders and of the public is that justice failed in both cases.
 Tn a situation where there Is no as- surance of justice, there Is only one pro- tection possible and that Is protection af- forded by the politician, the political boss the present system, therefore. instead of effecting the cure of the prisoner, only in- creases the power of the corrupt politican who can influence the courts through Il round of graft. political chicanery and social tyranny"

The board Of experts, court of rehabilitation, parole commission, or whatever may be the des- ignation of the board in which Is vested the power to determine when the prisoner may return to society. This board must be composed of men or men and wom en of the highest calibre, keen enough and with the practical experience which vii, enable them to resist political interfer- .bility imposd upon them.

 large, but with some exceptions the qual- ity is the best Wheat is ripened with large, full heads and with round. plump berry. Oats are of like quality Frost bit the growing rye, thereby injuring it some, but the latest reports show that it is to be an excellent crop of unusually good quality.
 From South Dakota come reports which have inspired enthusiasm here In mid summer the weather in that great state was not very favorable. but nature has s been great benefactor in South Dakota since August began She has furnished ideal harvest weather. In fact, through out the great part of the northwest the first two weeks of August were warm, clear. dry days, whereby ideal conditions for harvesting were secured.
 What the Effect Will Be
 The effect upon general business of these great harvests of the northwest is to be-according to the view of bankers who are familiar with conditions there highly gratifying. They are confident that business Is sure to show very rapid im- provement and that the fall trade is go- ing to be so brisk to more than make good the slackness which chara cteriz ed the first six months of 1915. Of course if the northwest enjoys prosperity of this kind 1t is sure to be reflected from that common center throughout the country and may serve greatly to stimulate gen- eral revival of business activity.
