Gives History
CONTINUED from page 81

This procession of human mortals,
worthy Of an Iliad, thrust into what
is now Montana from thirty to forty
thousand people in two years. Towns
grew up in a month. There was ve-
erything that pertained to an Amer
acan community, except political in
stitutions. There were no governors,
no courts, no legislatures, no statutes,
no law books-nothing but an undi-
gested mass Of Americans sprung in
stantly into existence.
If these people had not been Am
ericans-if they had been the subjects
of some prince or had been reared
in a monarchy-they would have been
inadequate to the situation in which
they found themselves. But they
were schooled to self-government, and
had initiative, self-reliance, and cour-
age. They met together in the morn
ing and created Offices; they defined
the jurisdiction Of these offices; they
elected persons to fulfill the func-
tions of these Offices; and by night the
aittle republic, marooned in those
mountain gulches fifteen hundred
miles from home, was in motion.

into gruesome find. While dig

of a human being. The rib bones
had few shot holes through them
which led some to believe a foul deed
had been committed in the past mad

Every successful business enterprise is founded
on strict discipline, department and obedience to
details which promote efficiency which therefore
assure success. And every good business insttu-
tion dispense dividends because of success
founded on the foregoing conclusions, so can
penal administration afford to dispense privileges
because of it's large margin of administrative efficiency
it relates to welfare privileges.
Thus, our newly inaugurated tobacco privilege
is founded the margin of good conduct and
obedience of the inmates the rules ard regulations
devised by such administration.
= When the margin of department and obedience
is lowered by the inmate in thoughtless violation of
these regulations, the privileges are automatically
restricted because through apparent inapprecation
the benefits of privileges are negatived.
Thus the intelligent inmate will readily see the
advantage of obedience regulations for preserving
the collective welfare. 1t therefore becomes our
collective duty to reduce the grade standing by
faithful attention to duty and regulation that the
return the dividends of granted privileges bal
anee the right side of the ledger. Let US do our
slncerest to promote collective department to
higher grade standing, that the persistent efforts
OF those of official family to promote our per-
sona welfare through the Inauguration Of our recent
tobacco privilege shall be amply and justly
rewarded.
