Especial to Gateway by United Pressl
 MISSOULA, Mont, Sept. 19.-J. w. Jones, prohibitionist, and the one best rife shot in the state, became county sheriff today. He was elect ed without opposition last month. In view of lack of opponents, county officials tried to get him to put his name on some other ticket, for, it be- ing Montana, there were no other pro- hibition aspirants. That would have saved the county $8O, But Jones wouldn't do it.

1t would be folly to think that Rudy
w. Mack has any chance to gain the
Republican gubernatorial nomination
this year. The present administra-
ton by means of patronage and deals
is too well intrenched, and the three
to-a-precinct organization of civil ser
vice workers can be expected to de.
liver the goods just as they did in
the April primaries. Rudy Mack will
render a service to the state, howev-
er, that can be of immeasurable val
ne If he will only tell what he knows.
At a time when the state is overrun
with speakeasies and bootleggers,
when bawdy houses and dens of vice
that were closed two years ago have
been brazenly opened, and when there
is an influx of questionable charac.
ters from all parts of the country, the
statement Of notorious leader and
lobbyist that willis hasn't done any
thing to hurt anybody" is mighty
significant thing. Mack was in the

LIQUID FIRE = THEN AND NOW
(wall Street Journal)


The use by the Germans of fire.
throwing machines in the assault on
Verdun has been hailed as something
new in military operation. AS mat
ter of fact, liquid fire is a product Of
the warfare of the Middle Ages. In
the strenuous days when our doughty
ancestors we're besieged in castles,
they used to amuse themselves by
standing on the ramparts and pouring
boiling oil and burning pitch below.
This usually proved disconcerting for
the attacking party.
The Germans have gone several
steps farther. All the accessories that
the knights of old brought into play
in the gentle art of the fire-hurling
were bucket, it's contents, and a
good strong pair of arms. The mod
ern Teutons fiery fluid can be distrib
uted much more deftly and with great
er force by reason of simple device
known as "fire protector" Petrol
is poured into tank under pressure oi
several hundred pounds per square
inch. The tank is equipped with g
long nozzle, and the petrol is en-
famed as it leaves the nozzle by ar
electric spark. This the German sol
der is able to sit safely behind his
own lines and spray the enemy will

, hundred feet much in the manner o.

editorial is on a par with an expression
in the speech of Governor Willis at the
recent Republican state convention
when he by inference placed the blame
for the death of the soldiers at Carrizal
upon the present administration. Some
men are so partisan they cannot be
fair citizens. The flag to them does
not mean the flag that floats over ev-
cry man, woman and child in free

floats over the party host. To them

IMPORTANCE OF TOAD
Modern Medical Science Is Extracting
Remedies From Its Skin That
Are OF Greatest Value
New York Telegraph)

The toad has always been looked
upon as loathsome, even poisonous.
Yet modern medical research is ex-
tracing from toadskins remedies of
the greatest value, and the beneficent
possibilities of these secretions have
by no means been exhausted
Quack remedies have long been
made from the skins of toads, and
the Chinese still use such an extract,
called "senso," as a cure for dropsy.
A well-known remedy among the New
England colonists for sprains and
rheumatism was toad ointment made
as follows: Four good-sized live toads,
put into boiling water and cook very
soft, then take them out and boil the
water down to half pint, and add
fresh churned, unsalted butter, one
pound, and simmer together; at the
last add tincture of arnica, two ounces.
The natives of Brazil made an ar
row poison from the creamy secre-
ton of skin glands of giant tropical
toad, a poison so powerful that it
kills big game in few moments.
From this secretion is also obtained a
blood-pressure-raising medicine in
valuable to the specialist and the sur
geon.
But the most valuable and startling
part of this toad secretion in the iso-
lation of beautiful crystalline sub.
stance to which toad skins owe its
curative powers for dropsy. 1t seems
strange that after a century's ridicule
of toad treatment for dropsy as a
mere grandmother's remedy, we should
now find genuinely scientific confirma
tion of the practice. 1t may be OBJ
! jected that all varieties of toads dc
not give the same secretion as the gi
ant toad from the Amazon, but it has
been found that another crystalline
substance of very similar properties is
found in the skins of the common Eu
ropean toad

Just as did the first calendar year,
so will the first fiscal year of the Will
lis administration show unprecedent-
ed expenditures for government. In
an effort to forestall the certain con-
demnation in the authoritative figures
of the auditors annual report, Cover
nor Frank B. Willis has issued a call
for financial reports from all depart
ments for the first fiscal year, ending
June 30. Inasmuch as all vouchers
cannot be charged until some weeks
later, the June 30 report cannot be
complete. The auditor can have the
only complete record. BY the issue
of statement as of that date the gov
ernor hopes to forestall the criticism
that must follow when the people learn
how they have been deceived by false
claims Of economy. By law the state
auditor is the only official empowered
to make financial reports. His report
for the fiscal year will come in regular
order at the proper time. Two years
ago Governor Willis, then candidate,
used the auditors report as a basis
for his promises of economy and
praised Auditor Donahey as "The one
honest Democrat in the state house"
Now he seems to fear the honesty of
the same auditor. When the official
figures are compiled it will be shown
that the expenses for the closing fiscal
year will not be far from $2O,OOO,OOO,
the largst sum ever expended in any
one year, and they will also show that
expenditures have exceeded the state
income for the first time in many
years.

Since the present administration
came into power in its deal with i'm
proper elements of all classes, there
has been growth of law violation
with no attempt at punishment In
contrast with the former law enforc-
ing administration the present would
seem to be in league with the violat-
ors. The statement Is made on Ollie
ial authority that representatives of
the present liquor license commits
sion have given information to drink,
ing clubs" about how to operate
without getting caught. Sunday
carousals as "picnics' at so much
per pickle are common things, and
disreputable camps" near cities
flourish. The legitimate dealer who
pays license seems to be getting a
glorious grilling, He's got to be good
or lose his money and his license,
and the falr-halred boys will see that
he votes right. The other fellow is
the man with whom deals are made.
