While Iowa residents were worry
ing about the high cost of so cent
bacon during August and other COM
modiries in the same comparative
price category, neary 10000 inmates
OF state institutions were eating at
an average cost OF ten cents a meal
for provisions. Labor, cost OF cook
ing and the like were extra.
The exact average was 291a cents
a day for each of the 9,22S inmates.
Nlbercular patients at Oakdale
who require special diet composed
partly of milk and eggs were the cost
lest state wards. But at that their
dietary was only 40 cents day.
Children were the least expen-
sive. Twenty-Five cents day was
the average at the Soldiers Orphans
home at Davenport, the Industrial
School for Boys at Ezdora, the School
for Feeble Minded at Glenwood and
the Industrial School for Girls at
Mitchellville.
Knoxville, where there were only
eleven patients, was next to Oak

there.
Provisions for the 1880 insane pa

planned out by the combination of

necessary to extract the teeth of the
constitution as the first step Of the
program and to this end the Nonpart-
isan league control submitted ten
amendments. 1t is one of the consti-
tutional safeguards that only by the
majority of all who go to the pools
can a change be made in the organic
law. Failure to vote on the subject
is held to be the exercise of the right
to express a negative opinion.
Of the ten amendments, five failed
to receive the support of a majority
of those going to the polls, though
they were given a majority Of the
vote cast upon the subject. The Town

law to suit its purposes, declared the

FARM BUREAU
PUTS Ban ON POLITICS
Peter Peterson of Valley County
Elected Vice President of State
Organization. Twenty-three
Counties Join.

Bozeman, Feb. 6.-The Montana
state farm bureau, representing 49,
900 farmers of the treasure state and
created by unanimous approval of the
farm bureau presidents in all of the
% Montana counties where the move
ment has been started, was formally
organized yesterday at the Montana
college of agriculture. John NJ. Da-
Wis of Teton county was elected pres
ident of the new state farmers organ
ization. Peter Peterson of Valley coun-
ty and c. F. Rainey of Dawson coun-
ty were elected vice presidents. An
nouncement was made that an exec
utive committee will be named i'm
m~ediately.
Not the least important of the first
acts of the new state farm bureau was
the placing on record of a statement
that the organization "is opposed to
any attempt to inject political matters
into the educational work of the bu-
reau."

WHAT WE MAY EXPECT.

A sample of the class of legisla-
ton the people of Montana may ex-
pect from a legislative body selected
and elected under the dictates of the
Townley-LeSeuer gang of red flag
socialists, was plainly in evidence at
Helena the other day when Senator
Mckay of Sanders county made a hot
stand in favor Of the red flag of Boil
shevism and openly opposed the pas
sage of McCormick's red flag bill.
Senator Mckay is the only member
of the sixteenth assembly who openly
boasts of his connection with Town
ley and his allegiance to the Nom
partisan league.
Mckay has consistently and faith
fully followed instructions from high
err up since the legislature convened
and can be depended upon to keep up
his record. His past record especial
ly fits him to carry out the class of
work that Townley has laid out for
him in Montana as it will be remem-
bered that Governor Stewart was
obliged to remove him from the draft
board of Sanders county when affi-
davits were filed showing grounds
for belief that he was disloyal and
was not serving the best interests
Of the United States in his work.
Rebuking Mckay on the floor of
the senate for his stand on the bill,
Senator Booth of Fallon county said:
''This bill means simply that we are
for one flag and one flag only and
one loyalty and the man or body Of
men who are not willing to follow un-
der one flag or subscribe to Ander-
sons amendment, have no business
in the state"
"The trouble with certain elements"
he added pointedly, "is that they don't
know the meaning of liberty. They
construe liberty to mean license"
The legislature of the state of Mon
tana is to be congratulated on passing
the red flag bill.

TIME TO GET BUSY.

The rank and file of the republic
can party in Montana r keeping a
watchful eye on the republicans of
the two houses now in session at Hell
ena. They realize that the big major
ity which was given the republican
party in both senate and house was
by reason Of certain platform pledges
and there will be an insistence that
these pledges be kept.
Naturally, those to whom leader
ship has been given will be looked
to for a large influence in party af-
fairs at Helena. To Mr.. Belden, elec-
ted speaker of the house, to Mr.. Hig-
gins, the floor leader and who speaks
with authority of his party, to Major
Edwards, president pro tenn of the
senate, and to Senator Booth, by all
the standards which should determine
one of the most capable and forceful
men who ever sat in either house al
Helena, will particular attention be
directed. And generally, to all Of
those who were elected as republicans
will republicans look for a fulfillment
Of the party pledges.

PLACE ORDER AT ONCE
FOR CHEAP FEED RATES

Farmers that are planning on ship
ping in a car of feed oats, corn, bar
ley or a mixed car Of feed should
| place their orders this month. Com
munities that are planning on club
orders of feed grain should get their
orders in transit this month as the
half rate cannot be issued after March
first.
Feed and forage in transit before
March first shipped on the drouth
area permit authorization previous to
that date will be granted the half
rate reduction. Everything moving on
or after that date will be at the u.s.
ual tariff rates.
County Agent M. E. Stebbins ad,
vises US that the half freight rate
means a saving of 10 to 20 cents pei
hundred pounds. The prices on feed
grain will be given gladly upon re.
quest, and orders taken care OF and
placed.
Up to date the farm bureau has is
sued half rate on Sc cars OF hay WITT
a saving of $234O and 81 half rate
permits on feed with a saving Of
$3.50 in freight to farmers and STOCK
men. A total saving of $947O. This
is one of the things the farm bureau
has done for the farmers.

is to play the game on the square.
The old notion that platforms were
made to get into office IN only has
gone out of date and the party which
doesn't keep faith will last but a
mighty short time. And there is too
much at stake in the coming election
for republicans to sit idly by and not
take an interest in the representatives
of their party at this session. And
the thing for them to do, in the opin-
ion of this newspaper, is to hold a
joint caucus of the two houses. out
line a Legislative program and put it
through. That is the only way there
can be a surety that the pledges made
in the platform will be kept.
If the members of the present legls-
lature will not fail to do their duty,
if they do what they pledged the peo-
pie they would do if elected, the par
ty will go into the campaign next
year with the best prospects of Win
ming the election. If, on the other
hand, there is a failure to redeem the
pledges made it may be hard to ex-
plain why they were not kept when
there was such an overwhelming ma
jority of republicans in both houses.
While an old and a hackneyed
phrase, there is nothing more express
sive than "keep the faith" A record
of promises kept will prove a most
valuable asset in the coming cam
paign. 1t is earnestly hoped that the
leaders of the republican majority
will use their powerful influence to
the end that the faith be kept with
the people of the state. Call a eau
Gus and dot it before it gets too late.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF A
NORMAL SCHOOL.

No adequate conception OIL the val
ne of a teachers training school car
be had except by taking a genera
view of the work of public education
in this country. In the dissemination
of education among the masses W.
have become one of the first two OF
three nations of the world; this fur
nishes the explanation of why we are
industrially and commercially the
most powerful and richest nation in
the world; it explains why, all things
considered, we have the best govern
ment in the world.
Self government requires intellec-
tual training of and accurate thinking
on the part of the masses; there could
have been no universal suffrage un-
less there was universal education.
But thus far, comparatively speaking,
our education as a nation has been
like our land cultivation, extensive
rather than intensive. We have taken
up all the public land and have cul-
tivated a large part of the continent
but the soil is producing but a small
part of what it ear be made to pro-
duce. Cultivation, soil survey, rota-
ton of crops, scientific farming all
along the line, will multiply our ag-
ricultural products a hundredfold. So
with education it is only during the
past decade or so that the masses have
been taken beyond the three RS. Ed
u~cation is going into applied and prac-
teal civics, into occupations, into the
intensive study and care of mans
physical and mental equipment. Here
tofore education has put tools into
the hand Of man; it is now %endeavor-
ing to give man himself more perfect
bodily efficiency. Physical defects
of children are seeking remedies; it
is possible that mans body can be
perfected as Burbank has perfected
and modified plants, that we can rid
ourselves, to a large degree, of poor
eyesight, poor digestion, and ennui
and make a new world for human
beings and thus solve many sociology
ical questions.
The school plant, therefore, from
the character of it's work becomes the
most important institution in our ma
tional life. 1t is also the most i'm
portant from its magnitude; 20,000,-
900 Of u r population are constantly
in the schools as students and pupils,
to say nothing of the teaching force.
The work of the teacher is therefore
the most important work of the ma
ton; w are woefully short of trained
teachers as shown by recent reports
of the United States commissioner of
education.
The normal schools, the teachers
training schools, will therefore be seen
to be Of transcendent Importance to
the state as a whole and as we'll as
Of very special Importance to the
community where the school is To-
Gated.
