SENATE PASSES FARM MEASURE
BILL IS PASSED WITHOUT THE DAYLIGHT
 SAVING RIDER

WASHINGTON, July 23.-(P)-As soon as it is signed by the President, the agricultural bill will become a law as it was passed this afternoon by the senate. The measure was adopted by the house few days ago. Both houses of congress eliminated the rider in the bill which called for the repeal of the daylight saving law and which was the cause of the President vetoing the original mea- sure.
 It will be sent to the Unite House immediately and will doubtless be signed by the President this week.

CURIOUS ABOUT
 RECENT RAISE

HELENA, July 23.-P)-Governol Stewart believes there is no call for the merchants in Butte to suddenly raise their prices on food and cloth ing as soon as the miners in that dis trict are given an increase Tn wages.
 Convinced that there is a probabi- l'ty of profiteering, the governor. to- day, ordered that an investigation be made into the sudden increase. As long as the miners were drawing the old schedule of wages the merchants were satisfied to keep their prices at a low figure, but the moment the men were allowed more money by the mining companies all dealers placed new and higher prices on their com modities.

LONDON, July 23.-P)-At a con- ference today the representatives of the triple alliance of the British la bor bodies decided that a referendum shall be taken among the members of the labor organizations on num- Der of political demands which have been made by the union officials.

GOODBYE. JOHN

Many is the time that John Barlcycorn has been babe a
fond, final and affectionate farewell, and each time he has
returned, radiant and happy, and bringing his litter with him
We saw him off in 1907 under the direction of local option.
but when the party that went to the station to speed his going
wendell its fearful way back, he was there, baying deepmouthed
welcome as it drew near home.
In 1909, under the extention Of the four-mile law, it was
again, "Good-bye, John, please close the door as you pass out y"
but he didn't go as far as the next block before setting up to do
business in the same old way; never getting out of range Of a
voice in distress, and rarely out of sight of the high-sign.
In 1911 there came the nuisance act to Join the procession

Again in 1913 the legislature gave lis the custer act, with
its penalty for mafeasancc, misfCasancc and nonfeasance, and
officers OF the law offered themselves a willing sacrifice that
John might be spared, and again John came up serene and
smiling,
Then in 1917 came the war that diverted the attention of a

PUBLIC DISCUSSION
THE OF
NORTH RN EPIRUS,
50

To The News Scimitar Z:
The question Of Northern Epirus is
on the table Of the peace conference.
A large number from among the mem
bers Of our community are natives of
that province, and take vital interest
in its future disposition as their fami-
lies still live there.
Will you permit us to bring the facts
Of the case to the attention Of the read
ers OF the Scimitar?
Northern Epirus is a small province
in the north Of Greece. 1t has a pop
ulation Of 200, 900, Of whom 100, 900 are
Christians and $1,000 Moslems. The
Christians, who alone are literate, cul-
tured, n progressive, demand union
with Greece. The Mohammedans pre-
fer to be included in the future Moham-
medan state Of Albania.
The Christians who are Greek in sem
timent maintain $50 Greek schools with
an attendance of 1885 boys and girls,
The Albanians maintain only one school
with from 100 to 200 pupils.
The district of Korytsa, the city OF
Korytsa excluded, which is claimed by
the Albanians as the center Of AL
bantam culture has 120 Greek schools
with l0, 900 Greek pupils. In the same
district there is not n Albanian
schools.
The city of Korytsa maintains one
Greek college for boys with 100 stu
dents; one Greek girls high school
with $50 girls; two k~indergartens with
700 children, or a total attendance OF
1000 boys and girls. The teaching
force consists OF 10 Greek professors, IL
male teachers, IA female and five kim
dergarten instructors, or a Greek
teachers in all,
In 1913 Northern Epirus was given
to Albania by Germany and Austria
and Italy. In 1914 the Northern Epi-
rotes ~revolted against Albania and de
clared their union with Greece. To-day
part Of Northern Epirus Is occupied by
Italy, and part by France, France oc-
| cupies the district of KorJtsa where
the Greek schools are in operation, as
well as the one Albanian school there
Italy, on the contrary, has applied most
repressive measures to denationalizt
the Greeks. She has closed the 36C
Greek schools, and the Greeks, to save
their nationality, prefer to see theii
children ignorant rather than send then
to propaganda Italian schools.
There is no reason why Northern
Fpirus should not be given the RICH
to Join Greece when the majority o.
its inhabitants, the enlightened and thu
progressive element, will accept M
other solution. There is no better an
no clearer case where the principle o
self determination can be applied.
Let us help the Christian Epirote'
to win their freedom. They deserve II
