QUITS SHOULD LAY OFF.
(Great Falls Leader)

Mr. William Cuts of Silver Bow has his nerve
with him when he seeks. almost before he has an
swered roll CALL to have the representative Of The
Muscular. any other paper, denied privilege of
reporting the house proceedings
For unaducrated fool nerve this break of Mr.
Cults takes precedence in the receiving line at the
state capital If Mr. Cults cut in as a house men,
Der with the sole idea of making trouble. he has
started the ball rolling nicely. Regardless of what
The Muscular may have said. that paper said one
thing which every fair minded man in the state of
Montana will endorse-that the governor Of Montana
had but far fetched right to name Cuts to the va
cancy caused by the death of Jerry Flanagan.
That act was one of the most dangerous usurpa-
tons in principle and step far toward executive
anarchy. 1t is unfortunate that man like Sam
V. Stewart should be led to take such appointive
actiont is unbelievable that he should not realize
the danger in the step taken
Section As, article 5, of the constitution of Mon
tana, provides:
when vacancies occur in either house. the gov
crnor the person exercising the functions of the
governor, shall issue wrs OF election and fill the
same"
Section APP of the Revised Codes Of 1907 provides
as follows:
""hencver a vacancy, or failure to elect by rca-
son Vi 4 lie Fote occurs IN either house of the leg
slative assembly, the governor must at once issue
a writ of election to fill such vacancy"
Under the Stewart idea put forth in the form
or Cults and following it to its logical conclusion
what's the use having elections at all, most
only in some county of the state as a starter?
Have the governor appoint to vacancies and the
members of the one county elected them. the
house is judge of the qualifications of it's own men,
bcrshp. OF that is carrying the illustration
pretty far, but the principle is there The law says
specifically what the governor shall do in case of
a vacancy-therc is side stepping that. II the
county commissioners refuse to call election that
Is their business. Because the governor may be-
lieVe that the commissioners may shirk their duty
in calling election is reason why the governor
should give jolt to his duty by taking it upon
himself to name Legislative member.
The Legislative judicial and executive branches of
the state have certain duties of their own to perform
and if the nomination of members of the legislature
rests with the executive it has remained for the
present executive to find it out
Through that provision which makes the legisa-
tnre judge OF the qualifications of it's own men,
bcrs it may be that the presence of Mr. Cults in the
house will not invaidatc the acts of that body be
cause of u illegal member participating in it's voting
| and deliberations, but most unfortunate and dan
gcrous precedent has been set.
Under the circumstances it wo2,,d seem the proper
thing for Mr.. Cults to lay off until the people Of
Montana had become accustomed to hand picked
membership. instead of elective in the legislative
| assembly Of the state

Reno high school and practically

will be represented in some part of
the nations fighting forces. Four stu

already enlisted and each one of them
chose different department in which
to serve his country. Jack Pike. son
of Mrs. II. A. Pike of Reno and sen.

navy Furman Asbury, also senior,
has enlisted in the cavalry; Clifford
Sawyer chose the wireless corps of

Several other students are making
plans to join and the relative merits
of the different departments are being
earnestly considered by them.
Two letters have been received by
Prof. Charles Haseman, president of
the board of control of the Nevada
Interscholastic league, from high
school in the state stating that it
might be impossible for the schools
to send track teams to the annual

A PRAYER THAT WILL
BECOME MEMORABLE

AT the opening of the United
States senate, Tuesday. April 3, 1917,
day that viii go down the road of
time as one Of the most marked In
American history, the following
prayer, which for impressiveness and
sincerity has rarely been equalled,

20 Thou God Of all grace, we
stretch forth our hands unto Thee
May our steps this day be ordered
by the Lord. Grant. o Lord God. to
lead us in plain path this day. We
have reached the serious point in our
international relations which we have
neither sought nor desired. but which
We have with amazing patience sought
to avert. We put our trust in Thy
mighty arm.
Our fathers trusted Thee and re-
joiced In Thy Astounding mercies.
Thou hast given us peace and free
dom and prosperity. Thou hast de-
hyered uB from the perils Of the past
and preserved the unity of our great
republic. Thou hast been our re-
fuge and portion through all the
years. Leave US mot, neither for.
sake US, o Thou God Of our saliva
ton. May we continue to realize the
source whence cometh our help, and
lest we forget may we now number
ourselves under Thy mighty hand,
and may we fnd our exaltation in Thy
power and grace.
Through the critical stages OF this
day guide Thy servants in congress.
Lead them In the way that Thou shalt
choose. May they hear the voice of
Him who spake as never man spake
and at Thy bidding may they go
forth to do Thy righteous will.
I'VE pray that Thou wouldst streng.
then the hands OF our president in
meeting the great responsibilities that
are laid upon him, and may he have
the unlimited support Of our great
nation.

prayer in this momentous hour, and

TIMELY HINTS FOR
THE HOME GARDENER

| WASHINGTON, April 13.-The i'm.
portance of thorough and ,continu-
GUS cultivation In the home vegeta.
BILE garden is pointed out in a new
farmers bulletin Of the u S. depart
ment OF agriculture. No. S18, 1.-THE
Small Vegetable Garden" After the
seeds have sprouted or after the plants
have been set in their permanent Ia
cation. continued cultivation becomes
necessary.
The gardener should never permit
the surface OF the soil to become
baked or even to form an eppreciable
crust. Constant stirring with hand
tools or a wheel cultivator should be
practiced between the rows and
about the plants. Such stirring
permits the air to penetrate the soil,
where it facilitates chemical action
and bacterial activity, destroys weeds
which otherwise would utilize large
amounts of plant food, and, finally,
conserves the moisture supply. The
rake is perhaps the gardeners most
valuable tool in cultivating. This can
be passed backward and forward over
the ground until 1t is in an open, mel
low condition. Where vegetables
grow closely in the rows it often will
be necessary to supplement the cult
walton by hand wedding. Small nipple
ments are made for this purpose, and
may be purchased cheaply. 1t is well
also in some cases to pull up weeds
by hand, especially where they grow
closely about the stalks of the garden
plants.
Stirring the Soil After Rains
Just as the gardener should be care
full in early spring not to dig the
ground when the soil is too moist, so
he should be careful later in the sea-
son not to cultivate too soon after
rains. The stirring of very muddy soil
''puddles" 1t into a compact, cement.
like mas sin which the plant food is
securely locked. The garden will re
quire attention, however, as soon as
the excess moisture from a rain has
soaked in or partially evaporated
Unless the ground is stirred at this
time a crust will form almost In
eyitably. Such a crust, besides re-
structing the plant, prevents the &C
cess of air. and also facilitates the
| loss of moisture through evaporation
Irrigation
When, during prolonged dry spells,
the plants give evidence of suffering
because OF the lack OF moisture, water
must, If possible, be supplied artif-
cially. Where supply of piped water
is at hand, perhaps the most usual
method of irrigation is by sprinkling
with q hose. IL sprinkling Is prac.
ticed it should be done late in the
afternoon. II Is not sufficient merely
to dampen the surface; a thorough
wetting should be given. A more sat
isfactory and more economical method
OF irrigation. however, is to open
small burrows between the rows OF
growing plants and to supply water in
these bitches from house or pipe
Several hours after the water has
soaked in, the dry earth should be
drown back into place.
