SLOW AcTloN RY RRITAIN.

With the announcement which is now made that the British have known that there was a German raider at large since December 2, and such gives no new information because 1t was told at the time that such a ves- Eel flying the Danish flag had cleverly avoided detention, it appears to be a bit late for the admiralty to be hust- ling fleet Of vessels into the south Atlantic to locate this com merce destroyer. Six valuable weeks have been allowed to go by and cer- sainly in that time it could not be ex- pected that the raider would be sail ing the seas simply for the health of the crew.
 On the contrary there was no dis position on the part of the commander of the unknown vessel, whether 1t is a German cruiser in disguise or even the famous Moewe. to wait until the British were ready to hunt him before he became active in the mission on which he was sent The sinking or capture of 22 or more vessels, belong ing to British companies and destined for English ports with supplies which are needed shows that he has bean losing no time. He has been making the most of the freedom which he has been allowed He has skillfuIIy cov- cred up his operations and the allied shipping has been made to feel the effects of it. The very fact that raider was at large was a signal for pursuit but there has been such de- Jay and inaction that it is probable by the time the searching fleet really gets busy. the raider will have crept back through the blockade and be at anchor in the harbor from which it rame. It indicates that the British have failed to profit from the costly lessons Of the past.

ing further. So he personally con- ducted Mabel King to pr. Thomas Erdman, the superintendent of the Norwich State Hospital for the Insane, who after a careful examination pro- nounced her undoubtedly mentally de- ranged. Whatever might have been done in the past, the most humane ac- ton now was to try to secure for her proper care, just such care as we would wish for any our our own peo- pie if they should be visited by such q calamity.
 The sheriff has the authority to ap- ply to the governor for the commit ment of such a case to the asylum if the legal settlement of the patient can not be established. Therefore the As- sociated Charities after making every effort to establish the settlement of Mabel King brought the matter to the attention of Sheriff Brown who prom ised to make out the necessary papers. IL is hoped therefore that she will soon have proper care. The spirit of the writer of the letter to The Bulletin is being expressed but in accordance with the facts revealed by an inquiry into the situation.
 In some places much attention is de- voted to examining those inmates of the JailS which are mentally deficient and committing them to institutions where they will have proper care. Where this is not done. the usual re- suit is that. as in the case of Mabel King, the poor unfortunate is committed again and again to the jail. Mabel King was committed to jail six times in New London since last September and is said to have been convicted at least as many times in Norwich and also in other cities. As far as is known she has brought no children into, the world and has simply herself suffered in her helpless mental state, being made the tool of whenever she might see and having, according to her story been the inmate of various houses of prostitution. There are similar cases, however, where the re- suits have been even more deplorable children brought into the world to lead the same wretched existence. with a tainted mental heredity. It is particularly gratifying to some of us therefore to see printed an appeal to the public for more interest in such a case as that of Mabel King.

Cwritten Specially for The Bulletin1
 Much has been written and said of late about Edmund Clarence Stedman, that famous banker poet once a res- ident of Norwich; but the references have been chiefly to his boyhcod. It is not generally known that. in his valuable work, The Library of Amer ican Literature, compiled in collabo- ration with Miss Ellen M. Hutchison, he has provided an exceedingly inter esting collection of famous sayings, which all the world quotes, yet the origin of which is to most persons not clear.
 Taking some of these noted sayings at random, we find, for instance, that the old couplet, United we stand, di- vided we fall,' comes from the Liber- ty Song, first published in the Boston Gazette, July 18th, 176S, the song written by John Dickinson and Ar thur Lee. It begins:
 Then join hand in hand, brave Amer
 jeans all;

Over and over again, people repeat the phrase, "Sir, I had rather be right than be president" not aware that it was the sentiment of Henry Clay (1777-1S52).

mittee on sanitary affairs, he had
under consideration much of the i'm
portant legislation that affects the
welfare of not only the people in par
ticular, but communities in general.
Senator Fishbeck worked hard to
secure the passage of suitable herd
law, supporting those introduced in
the senate and the substitute meas
ures sent over from the house. In
supporting the creation Of herd dis
tricts the senator from Sheridan coun-
ty laid emphasis upon the fact that
in the newly-settled sections of north
eastern Montana, where development
of agriculture and stock raising has
been achieved more rapidly than in
any other section of Montana, there
is an urgent demand for herd law.
Another law which he strenuously
supported was that providing for the
determination of gophers through
state aid. Some action against the
rodents, he pointed out to the senate,
is absolutely necessary.

tor Fishbeck, which was resurrected

SEVERAL CHANGES IN
STATE GAME LAWS
Licenses Will Cost One Fifty.
Beaver May BE Trapped I'm
der Permit and License.

Inspection of the new game law
passed by the recent assembly shows
that the legislators have done much
to preserve the wild game of Mon
tana. The bill, which was handled by
Senator Gnose of Deer Lodge county
in the senate, was drawn by JOINT
committees on fish and game assist
ed by the protective association of the
state. 1t went through the senate
practically unamended, but encount-
cred some snags in the house ,emerg-
ing, however, in good shape.
The law provides for a closed sea-
son on deer in Custer, Dawson, Rose
bud, Richland and Yellowstone coun-
ties, to be lifted by legislative enact
ment. Only one deer may be killed
a year by hunter, between October
/ and December this may be eth
er buck or doe or fawn.
The open season on elk is from Oc-
tobcr | to December l and only one
may be taken, except in Gallatin and
Park counties, where another may be
shot by the same hunter, providing
he takes out a special license costing
$25. This applies both to resident
and nonresident hunters.

COAL GAS POISONING
KILLS HOMESTEADER
Morton Odegaard, a Farmer on
the Reservation, Found Dead
in His Claim Shack.

The body of Morton Odegaard, a
homesteader residing north of Os-
wego on the Fort Peck reservation,
was found in his cabin, last. Saturday
morning. The deceased had been to
Wolf Point on Friday and returned to
his homestead the same evening. He
rode home in a neighbor's sleigh and
at that time seemed to be in perfect
health.
Saturday morning a neighbor called
at Odegaard's cabin and found the
body. The deceased had evidently
cooked and ate supper and the fire
in the stove was still burning, so
death had not been caused by the cold.
The body was taken to Wolf Point
and Coroner Peterson was notified.
An inquest was held and the physician
who examined the body issued a cer-
tiificate that death was caused by coal
gas poisoning.

September Is to December l.
Trapping of beaver is provided for
under a permit and special license.
These busy little animals are reported
to have become quite numerous in the
years there has been closed season
and much complaint had been made
by ranchmen having irrigation
bitches. It is a singular fact, how
ever, that the complaints only came
in at time when the pelts are in
prime shape, during December and
January, when the irrigation bitches
are frozen up.
Bear may be killed and trapped any
season of the year. The original bill
provided for their protection for a
few months of the year, but the stock
men and legislators from the stock
raising counties, raised a fearful wall
over this clause and it was stricken
out.
The commission is empowered to
use portion of receipts from sale
of hunting and fishing licenses for
the propagation of games and game
birds throughout Montana.
1t will cost any male over IA years
of age, $3.50 for combined hunting
and fishing license this year and any
woman the same if she is over 18
years old. Nonresident fishing and
game licenses cost $50 and hunting
and fishing license limited to feath-
cred game and fish, costs SIS. A nom
resident fishing license is placed at
$500.

The Fifteenth Legislative assembly
has passed into history. The law
makers have left the capital and are
back among their constituents, proud
of their record in framing the new
laws, which are now on the statute
books.
When the closing bell sounded on
March /, the legislature had it's work
completed. This condition was
brought about to large degree by
the businesslike manner in which the
state senate transacted its work, COM
pleting the consideration of all its
bills before the 50th day in conform
ity with a joint resolution.
In its personnel the senate is un-
doubtedly the ablest body of the kind

NOTED ORCHESTRA TO
GIVE CONCERT HERE
Hallowell Concert Company to
Appear at High School Audi
tOrium-Sr. Class Benefit.

Under the management of the
Senior Glass of the Glasgow high
school, the Hallowell Concert Or
chestra of Chicago will give con-
cert at the high school Auditorium
Wednesday evening, March IA.
Although the regular lyceum sea-
son is ended, this attraction will equal
and surpass any of the numbers of
the course that have been presented
during the past winted.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will go to the Senior Glass and will
form fund for the purchase of a
memorial to be left in the school upon
their graduation. The members of
the class are handling all the details
and intend to make this venture a
success.
The Hallowell orchestra is not new
to the people of Glasgow, having ap-
peared here before on several oc-
casions. Their concerts have always
met with popular approval and their
return will be welcomed by those who
have been fortunate enough to hear
them.
The orchestra is without doubt the
best of it's size now touring the coun-
try. They have been on an extended
tour and the press of Helena, Great
Falls and other western cities have
been lavish in their praise. There are
nine pieces in the orchestra, includ-
ing violin, flute, harp, clarinet, cor.
net, trombone, cello, bass viol anG
traps. Mr.. John Wentzel, the bari
tone soloist, who made such a big

world supremacy, with the downfall
of Carthage vividly pictured.
