FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
John G. Brown, of Helena, Mont.

John G. Brown, of Helena, Mont.
Having announced my candidacy for
the nomination on the Republican
ticket for the Office of Attorney Gen.
eral l feel that the people of the
state should know my standing on
national, moral and state issues and
also my educational qualifications. I
therefore present to the readers of the
Glasgow Courier the statement, which
later will appear over my signature in
the campaign book:
The attitude of candidate on Ma
tional issues should be given to the
Party from whom he seeks an honor.
|, therefore, state that l endorse the
Republican platform as adopted by
the Republican Convention in Chicago,
in toto. The attitude of the can
didate toward moral questions of loc-
al issues is best evidenced by his
record in the past.
My record in the past has been one
of unalterable opposition toward
bosses and bossism; have never
touched drop of Intoxicating liquor
in my entire life; my attitude toward
law enforcement is one Of strict en-
forcement Of laws. If the people of
this state shall evidence desire to
have a particular law passed by hold
ing an election and voting in favor of
that law, I shall deem that election
to be a voice of the people directly
commanding a strict enforcement of
the law, so passed, and l so pledge
myself.
to strict enforcement of all laws, alb
solute honesty and the strictest econ-
omy, including reduction in the
number of state employees and salar-
les. A desire on the part of the
people of the State of Montana for
state farm loans having been evidenced
by the passage of a State law to
that effect, shall endeavor to bring
or similar law.
As to my educational qualifications:
l graduated from the High School at
the Normal School at Kirksville, Mis-
souri,, and Missouri University and
Yale University. For the past
twelve wears / have been in practice.

EVIDENCE IN A SINGLE HAIR
Human or Animal? What Kind of
Animal? Scientists Can Tell
Without Fail.

To the German analyst hair is
packed with information. The approx
innate age and physical condition can
be constructed by an examination OF
a single hair, Melville Davisson Post
writes in the Saturday Evening Post
The hair of every animal has GER
tain distinguishing characteristics. 1t
is not to be mistaken by competent
investigator Some animals, as for
example the COW, have three types of
hair. These will be known by their
structure Under proper microscop-
ical examination hairs will be as cas-
lily distinguished by an expert as va
rieties of trees in a grove will be dis
tinguished by forester.
There was a case in which dagger
found on the prisoner had few short
hairs caught entangled in nick of the
blade. He explained this by saying
that he had used the dagger to kill
rabbit that he had found trapped in a
hedge. The authorities reported to
the police, after an examination of the
dagger, that the hairs were not of hui
man origin, but they also added that
they were not rabbit hairs-they were
squirrel hairs.
The police were extremely puzzled
until they finally discovered that on
the night of the homicide the prison
er had worn a great coat trimmed with
squirrel fur. He had, in fact, carefully
washed the knife after the assassina-
ton and thereby removed every evil
dence of his act, but, unfortunately
for him, he made the mistake Of at
tempting to dry the dagger by wiping
1t on the fur lining of his great coat.

MAINTENANCE OF
AMERICAN RIGHTS.

Had this government by the
use of both informal and formal
diplomatic opportunities left no
doubt that when we said "strict
accountability" we meant pre-
oisely what we said and that we
should unhesitatingly vindicate
that position am confident
that there would have been no
destruction of American lives by
the sinking of the Lusitania.
There we had ample notice-in
fact, published notice. Further
more, we knew the situation, and
we did not require specific no
tice. Instead of whiting away
our formal statements by equiv
ocaI conversations, we needed
the straight, direct and decisive
representations which every Dip
lomat and foreign office would
understand. believe that in
this way we should have been
spared the repeated assaults on
American lives. Moreover, firm
American policy would have been
strongly supported by our people
and the opportunities for the de-
velopment of bitter feeling would
have been vastly reduced.-From
Mr.. Hughes Speech of Accept
ance.

SOME FACTS ABOUT RADIUM
Found Only in the Most Minute Guam
tities-MineraIs That Carry II
Easy to Determine.

Radium is a metal and is described
as having a white metallic luster. 1t
has been isolated only once or twice
and few people have seen it. Radium
is ordinarily obtained from its ores in
the form of hydrous sulphate, chloride
or bromide, and it is in the form of
these salts that it is usually sold and
used. These are all white or nearly
white substances, whose appearance
is no more remarkable than common
salt or baking powder. Radium is
found in nature in such exceedingly
small quantities that it is never visible
even when the material is examined
with a microscope. Ordinarily radium
ore carries only a small fraction of
grain to the ton of material, and ra-
dunn will never be found in large guam
titles because it is formed by the de-
cay of uranium, a process which is
wonderfully slow, and radium itself de-
Gays and changes to other elements so
rapidly that it is impossible for It to
accumulate naturally in visible masses.
Minerals that carry radium. however,
are fairly easy to determine. One Of
them, pitchblende, as generally found,
is a black mineral about as heavy as
ordinary iron, but much softer. The
principal radium mineral, carnotite,
has a bright canary yellow color, and
is generally powdery. There are other
radium-bearing minerals of less inn.
