Governor Stewart has desig-
mated June goth as Good Roads
Day. The chief executive re-
quests that everybody turn out
on that day and contribute either
labor, money, or both, in an eff
fort to improve the road condi-
lions of the state. 1t is worthy
object and each community
should take some action toward
making the day profitable and
pleasant. If every person in the
state would do their share just
one day the condition of the
roads in Montana would be sc
improved that everybody would
be pleased over the effort. Let's
try it this year.

F|vE-SIXTHS JURY
STATUTE HELD VALID

Washington, May 23-Juries of few.
er than the twelve men when required
by common law, and verdicts by less
than the entire jury, when provided
for by state law, are valid in cases,
even those arising under federal law
the supreme court held.
The decision upheld the Minnesota
law, permitting five-sixths of jury to
return verdict after being out twelve
hours, and Virginia statute authoriz-
ing trials before seven jurors.
An attempt had been made by rail
roads, sued for damages under the
federal employers liability law. to
prove such juries and verdicts did not
meet the requirements of the seventh
amendment to the federal Constitution
that cases at common law should
be tried by jury.
Two judgments against railroads
were affirmed.

The splendid rain of last night
and this morning has been of
great benefit to the whole coun-
try. Portions of the valley ap-
peared to be suffering for mois-
ture but examinations made be-
fore the rain, developed the fact
that it was hot weather that was
needed most. There was plenty
of moisture in the ground where
the soil had been prepared in adj
vance of seeding and with some
real summer weather now, there
will be a rapid growth.

FOOD SCARCE IN BRITAIN

London, May 23-Francis Dyke Ac-
land, financial secretary of the treas
ury, speaking in the house of COM
mons on the agricultural situation,
made somewhat disturbing state
ment.
1t is imperative, Mr.. Acland said,
that farmers drop their prejudice
against the employment Of female la
Dor. A breakdown in home supplies
is avoidable only if the labor situation
does not grow worse
The danger point of greatly decreas-
ed production already has been reach
ed and even as things are going it
now is feared that England cannot
hope to maintain her production on
last years level.
'If more men are swept into the
army from the farms, she can only
escape famine by diverting to impor-
tation of foodstuffs."
"And," Mr. Acland concluded, I'VE

be ships to divert that way"

national convention draws near
~ there is the liveliest specula-
ton as to who will be the man
picked to make the fight against Wood
row Wilson. While there may be some
doubt as to the Republican nominee,
it seems to be pretty we'll assured that
President Wilson will be rendered

delegates assemble at st. Louis.
The Republican delegates will con-
vene In the Coliseum in Chicago on
June Z. Already the hotels are pre-
pairing for great crowd. Soon the
booms of favorite sons will re-echo
through the corridors. While there are
some men who look to have big lead
in the race for the nomination, some
of the wiseacres are saying this Is the
year for dark horse. There never
was convention in which, few
hours before the delegates met, there
wasn't some talk of dark horse
That's all there was-talk. The dark
horse seldom looms dangerous when
the balloting begins.
But that this year the race is more
open than in any convention in recent
years is evidenced by the statement
of Charles ID. IIilles, chairman of the

If the sentiment amoug Ger
mans all over the country is like
it is in this section, neither Pres
ident Wilson nor Roosevelt will
receive many votes from that
nationality should they be the
nominees of their party this year.
Just what they will do in case
both are nominated is a problem
yet to be solved. In discussing
the matter with Germans, the
writer learns that both are very
Objectionable and that neither
will receive their votes. This
fact may be a potent factor in
deciding who is to be nominated,
by the republicans at least. Sen
ator Cummins of Iowa, is said to
be very acceptable to the Ger
man societies, not because he
has championed their cause, but
for the reason that he has been
thoroughly American all the
time and has been really neutral
during the entire period of the
great war. Germans say they
would not support pro- German,
neither would they support a
pro-allies candidate. What they
want is a man thoroughly Amer
lean, one who will not favor one
European country more than an
other, one who will insist upon
American rights at all times and
with a firm hand. With so
many voters of the country re-
fusing to support either Wilson
or Roosevelt it would be the
best judgment to nominate at
Chicago anyone other than
Roosevelt, if the party really
wants to win.

WEST VIRC|N|A'S EXPERIENCE.

WEST v|RC|N|A'S EXPERIENCE.
No paper in West Virginia did more to secure
the adoption of the prohibition law, In that State,
than did the Charleston Gazette
In it's issue of Sunday, February 20, under
the head, "Does 1t Prohibt?' the Gazette pub
lished the following editorial:
Zone of the officers of the State prohibition
department. the one who has in charge the enforce
ment of the Yost prohibition law, said that
if he could drive whisky up to $3.50 quart ne
would consider that prohibition was successful
The department has driven whisky up to such
figure in Charleston and few other places but
along the borders contingent to wet territory CT
dry territory boot Logging is rampant, and the
only real difference between present conditions
and the former ones is that the consumer has to
pay more and gets worse wet fluids.
"Any comment that is made is not an attack
criticism of the enforcement of the law neither
is it suggestion that putting prohibitory statutes
on the books is not cure for the evils resulting
from excessive drinking, and its accompanying
misery and woe in some cases but is simply
citation Of facts from which there can be no APP
peal.
1--WE believe that the prohibition officers are
not SO blind as not to know the real condition. and
their efforts to enforce the law commendatory,
but only eternal vigilance and devotion to duty
will perpetuate in the State the semi-arid
condition which prevails.
I'm some OF the cities along the Ohio river
whisky can be purchased for price little higher
than over the bar in the adjoining State. former
thority for the statement that in Wheeling there
are 600 speakeasies and that eighty two purveyors
of wet goods took out government license so that
they would be exempt from Federal prosecution,
trusting that no Ohio county jury would convict
them.
"The present officials in charge of the en-
forcement of the law could probably devote no
more faithful service than they do the courts have
been asked for cooperation in the form of in juno
tons; the common carriers are not permitted to
carry wet goods as baggage when in the possession
of an individual; many persons quietly cooperate
with the officers in giving information, and in
every way fight for the enforcement of the law
is being made and, if the consumption has been
reduced to the lowest point in the history of the
the cancer.
mo prosperity that is worth while is based
on the traffic in alcoholic drinks and any ap-
parent prosperity in wet territory may be ficti-
tous or it may not but the liquor question seems
to be unsolved, because ones morals cannot be
regulated by legislation, unless of course human
emotions can be eliminated by the ayes and noes
of a legislative body.
$50 far as West Virginia is concerned, despite
the fidelity of the officers of the law to their duty,
prohibition is still on trial.
When prohibition paper makes such admis-
sions as are contained in the above editorial, the
beginning of the end is in sight

can immense snag had struck one
side of the boat and tore away quite
bit of the cabin deck and upper deck
floor. The pilot headed for nearby
sand-bar, and we were safe. or
course, some were more frightened
than others, and some funny things
happened. One Chicago woman put
on two coats. then her fur coat, but
no shoes or stockings. One had life
preserver and big coat over that,
After the scare the boat folks made
the coffee for the crowd, which braced
them up. We stayed on the sand-bar
until midnight, and we are again on
our way, none the worse for our ex-
perience."
