Judge Wadhams severely condemned
the Missouri system under which juries
determine the length of the sentence.
He also denounced the rings in the
Missouri penitentiary as barbarous.
"Your jurors" he said, "you great
experts in penology, you determine IN
advance just how long man should
be locked up to reform him. In New
York the law prohibits Judge from
passing sentences upon any convicted
person within two days. The purpose
of the law is to give the Judge time
to cool off, and to give deliberate con-
sideration to the case before him. How
many men are there today who have
seen the light and are kept in Jalls be-
cause some Judge or jury made q
wrong guess in trying to determine In
advance how much punishment they
should have? How many dangerous
men are being turned out every day
for the same reason?

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

P. w. Keay of the Davis Crossing
school now has an added responsible
ty. His school board has just in
creased his salary ten dollars per
month. He is thus confronted with
the task of making some disposition
each month of the extra ten. This is
substantial and fitting recognition
of Mr.. Keay's faithful and conscien-
tious services.
Following is a partial list of pupils
recently awarded certificates for four
months of perfect attendance with
out hardness: Norman Drake, Elmo
Drake, Nellie Schick, Evylin DENLY,
Susie Overall, Charles Overall and
Ward Overall Of the eDLassus school;
Helen Haynes, Ulysses Vansickle, An
ma Schilling and Joseph Schilling of
the Sugar Grove school; Chelsea West,
and Clara West of the Dent school
and Andrew Counts, Ethel Menge
Roberta Meyer, Henry White and
Arthur White of the Independence
school.
One year ago the number of schools
in St. Francois county having modern
heating systems was just per cent
of the number of rural schools in
the county. Since that time the num-
Der has been increased to 20 per cent
This seems rather a remarkable show
ing. The fight has already begun tt
make the number at least so per cent
one year hence. 1t is fascinating tt
watch the growth and development OF
school sentiment and the improvement
of school conditions in great coun.
ty.
The last report of the County SUI
perintendent of Schools to the State
Superintendent, which report was for
the school year 1856, showed the
following enumeration for the coun-
ty: White-male, 5,130; female, s.
039; total, 1912. Colored-male, SO;
female, 70; total, 1877; grand total, TO-
1929. The enrolment as shown by the
same report was as follows: White
male, 1872; female, 1856; total, g.
1877; colored-male 81; female, ~; to-
tai 1874; grand total, 1851.
The number of cases of hardness for
the year was 6,904; trunancy, 288,
and the teachers of the county demon
strated just 1904 times their belief in
the theory of Solomon: "Spare the
rod and spoil the child" The num-
Der of pupils graduating from the
common school course was, male,
SO; female, Ill; total, 204. The num-
Der of high school graduates was,
male, 33; efmale Sc; total, SO.
Weak rural districts should make a
special and determined effort at this
time of the year to keep up attendance
and take no chances on losing their
State Aid for next year. One district
lost 5000 this year because of poor at
tendance. By all means keep the mark
up to 65 per cent of the enumeration,
or an average daily attendance of Is.

Whether or not the increase in milk
prices which went into effect here
yesterday will cause rise in butter

part of Missoula's dietary dealers

The rise in milk prices is. in any

be the highest paid here since gold

adopted by Missoula dairics costs 25
cents a pint. Formerly II cost %

Dairymen said yesterday that an
other rise might come before 1918.

COL. WHITE STILL BOOSTING.

Col. A. A. White Of st. Paul, who
TWO years ago purchased from the
government Wild Horse island and n
large number of villa sites on Flat
head lake. was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there is no more
beautiful country lying out of doors
than that found along the shores OF
Montana's greatest lake and he has
backed this sentiment by investing a
large sum of money there in real es-
tate. With the opening of the new
branch OF the Northern Pacific run
ming from Dixon to Poison. it is prob
able that more cities of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming section Of Montana. 1t is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation of summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will ap-
preciate this fact. The colonel al
most single handed is doing great
deal to advertise the F1athead country
in the east and he is entitled to the
hearty support OF the people of this
commonwealth In these efforts.-Adv
