THE PARROT VOGUE.

New York City, Dec. 3O.-Parrots,
animate and inanimate, are having 9
tremendous vogue this year. You ca
counter them evrywheFe-in the fash
ionable drawing room and library, or
the stage and in the film, in tho de-
partment stores and china shops, in
all the latest photographs Of actresses,
and even in the subways and trolley
cars.
The other night 4 man whose nerve.
were in a ragged state after plowins
through the Christmas crowds to at-
tend to some Of his wifs's neglected
shopping, managed through great phys
ioal prowess and presence Of mind to
capture seat on a Brooklyn train.
simultaneously, someone Of great bulk
and force of gravity came down upon
his already aching big toe. The man
jumped and then swore quietly behinu
his barricade Of packages. Much to his
surprise, & deep, rausou. .s ssa voice; e. ap q.
train, Immediately inquired:
what are you about? What are
you about? What are you about?'
The man peered hastily over his
packages, but no one was paying any
attention to him. Instead, they were
gazing intently At large package
against his knees.
Its a parrot" explained an amused
feminine voice above him in answer
to his alarmed glances. "A Christmas
present for my husband. I've always
wanted a parrot. They're such good
company. The man who sold me this
one said it could say How do you do?'
and What are you about? for hours
at time"
Persian kittens and Pekinese are no
longer the chief treasure Of the pet
stores. Nor are canaries selling as ex-
tensively as they did before the war
These were the favorites of yesteryear; !;
today the parrot dominates the domes-
tic scene. His brilliant plumage sup
plies a warm, tropical note to the mod
ern interior, while his amusing faculty
for repeating phrases often ivens up
an otherwise dreary afternoon tea. The
latest windows displays use stuffed
parrot as the high color note. A fash
il nable charity ball recently taking place
in New York was called a parrot ball.

Rabbits "Gang Up"
in Gigantic Droves
in Havre District
Special to The Tribune
IY,-.s To~ ~ Thn 4

Special to The Tribune
Havre. Jan. 2.-The gathering of
the jackrabbts into large bands,
some Of them averaging between
400 and 700 rabbits. in the vicin-
ity of Havre, is puzzling the resi-
dents of the community. It is said
that some general disturbance in the
animal world causes rabbits to gather
together and live in large colonies in
this manner.
These drifting bands of rabbits are
proving such a menace that bingham
farmers organized a drive last Thurs
day to corral them. At the first
roundup about 300 rabbits were
brought into the corral, built of chick
en- wire, on the ranch Of Charles Du-
mas. four miles south of bingham.
The rabbits have been destructive
to winter crops and to pastures. In
many places they have cut deep paths
through wheat fields.
1t is planned to ship the rabbits
to Great Falls markets. Many of the
farmers are using them as meat. 1t is
said that farmers In the vicinity of
Xeuia have been laying in store of
meat from a herd of rabbits which
were feeding on the grass and thistles
along the Great Northern right of way
near there.

before another New Year day
comes around.
And among these good resolu-
tions be sure that we make one.
It is not hard to make in these
days when industrial and business
prosperity ia knocking at our doors,
and long time of financial and
business depression is fading like
the mist Of the morning before the
rising sun. Let us resolve that We
will forget the past and be opti-
mists in the future. Let US look on
the bright side Of things and hang
no more crepe before the eyes OF
our fellow citizens. Montana is a
good state to live in. Great Falls
is a good city to live in. Our in
dividual citizens are good men to
associate with and build up the
community. Let us credit them
with good motives when we dis
agree with their conduct or views,
whenever we can do so with the
broadest charity. Let us be ami
mated with the spirit of the apostle
and, forgetting those things that
are behind, press on to those that
are before.
We wish all our readers a happy

independent states. We are not
much concerned about the consti-
tutionality Of the anti-lynching law,
if it becomes a law. Doubtless it
will be tested in the federal courts
on this ground, and if the supreme
court follows the precedents OF the
past, they will find it constitutional.
They are ever ready to extend the
power and prerogatives of the fed
eral government, by which they are
appointed, at the expense Of the
rapidly vanishing sovereignty of
the states.
And in truth and reality this ad-
dition to the powers Of the federal
government is needed for the sup
port of its dignity as nation
among nations, apart from the main
object Of the law in the suppress
sion of lynching. Time and again
the United States has found itself
in a most undignified position,
when some foreign nation COM
planned that its citizens had been
deprived Of their rights under a
treaty of the complaining power
with the United States, in that their
citizens were lynched by mob in
some state, and deprived of a trial
by jury, in spite of the treaty pro-
vision that they should enjoy such
right as well as our own citizens.
In such cases the United States was
obliged to say to the complaining
power, in substance, something like
this. Eyes, we have failed to carry
out our treaty promises to protect
your citizen when he came among
US, relying on our pledge that he
should have the same rights as our
own citizens had 70 a jury trial,
but then we have no power to carry
Oul tliot etSoty ~ tiiiis"s oii4 We
knew this when we made the prom
isc. Under our constitution we
have no power to compel state
to do anything about this broken
treaty pledge, and this is solely a
matter of state rights. The state
where this regrettablc affair hap
pened will do nothing about it.
They will neither punish the per-
petrators, or pay any indemnity to
the relatives of the victim, but if
you will kindly overlook the breach
Of our treaty engagements with
you, we will pay the relatives Of
your murdered citizen a sum of
money, and hope that such breach
of our treaty engagements will not
happen again. But if it does we
have no power to do anything about
it, except to pay you more money
again." Such things have actually
happened in the relations of the
United States with several foreign
nations. 1t leaves the federal gov
ernment open to more or less con-
tempt in the eyes of foreigners,
who can say with truth to us, why
do you make treaty pledges that
you have no power to carry out.
You promised our nationals pro-
lection as we promised your ma
tionals protection in return. We
perform our treaty obligations to
you, and now you bring us the
child's plea that you are powcrless
to perform your obligations to US
because your constitution won't let
you. You had better change that
constitution and get power to keep
your treaty obligations, or go ont
Of the business Of making treaty
pledges of this kind"
We think the anti-lynching bill
should pass. We hope it will pass.

STATE BAR ASSOCIATION
PRAISE JUDGE EDWARD McIVER
June %, 1922

June %, 1922
Please express in your valuable
columns the sorrow felt by the Bar
of the State at the death of Judge Ed
ward McIver. He had fine legal
mind by nature and he had cultivated
it by much study and practice for
many years. He only served for few
years as Judge but this was long
enough for the Bar to take his full
measure and with one accord they
agree that he was great lawyer and
Judge. But the sweet disposition Of
the man and his lovable qualities have
made a lasting impression on all Of
us. He never knowingly gave offence
in his life even to the most humble or
insignificant person. He was a
thorough gentleman and his courtesy
to the Bar was perfect. We bid him
farewell with sorrow and grief. The
pure spirit of Edward McIver, we are
persuaded, is at rest in some brighter,
better land.

Opportunity To Enter Clemson

The attention Of young men inter-
ested in a technical education is d.
rected to the Clemson scholarship an
nouncement appearing elsewhere in
this issue.
Chesterfield County is entitled to
four-year scholarships and 1 one
year scholarship. Last session the
following young, men from this county
were at Clemson on scholarships:
] H. Thrower.
For the session of 1922-1923 there
are 2 four-year scholarships and. 1
one-year Agricultural Course schol-
arships vacant in this county.
A college education, viewed merely
as an investment Of time and of mon
ey, is equal to an estate worth thou
sands of dollars. Viewed, however,
from its highest sense such an edu-
cation prepares a young man for
greatest service to his country and
places him in position to enjoy some
of the good things Of life.. Educa-
ton fits one for life whose possibil-
tiles are limited only by his capacity
and his character.

SPECIAL JUDGE HIGHLY PRAISED

At the Court Of General Sessions at
Chesterfield this week, G. L. Prince,
of the local bar presided as Special
Judge. AS to the manner in which he
presided, the learning displayed in
his charges, and in the conduct OF
matters before him, the bar of the
County are unanimous in saying that
never in their recollection, has court
been more ably presided over by a
Judge than was this one.
Solicitor Spears, stated in open
court, that he had been Solicitor of
the Fourth Judicial Circuit for eight
cen years, and never had he seen the
duties Of a Judge more ably discharged
nor q court presided over with more
dignity, learning and ability, than tnat
displayed by Special Judge Prince.
The members of the bar, the grand
jury, and the spectators unite in say
ing that Mr.. Princes charge to the
grand jury was masterpiece for
clearness, succinctness, logic and as
an exposition of the law and the du-
ties of grand jurors. The editor of
this paper has been told by the mem
bers of the bar, that the charge of the
presiding Judge, In the case of the
State against James Shannon, indicted
for assault with intent to ravish, was
one of the finest and best charges that
they had ever heard. One Of the at
torneys stated that he had carefully
prepared detailed requests to charge
but that the charge of Judge Prince,
while not taking up much time, was
so clear, 80 lucid, so impressive and
so able-covering every phase Of the
law involved in the case that there
was nothing left to do but to tear up
the written requests to charge and
let the Judges charge stand as it was
impossible to add to it.
These expressions are high COM
pliments to the ability, the learning
and the standing of Mr.. Prince in his
profession, and we are Justly proud
of him.

namaker said he only mentioned this
to show the big heart of the man and
that throughout his life he lived to
make others happy. Mr.. Wannamaker
then recited a beautiful appropriate
poem.
Solicitor Spears then made beau
tiful talk on both Mr.. Pollock and
Judge McIver. He spoke of Mr.. Pol
locks brilliance and that he had had
some of his hardest legal battles in
Chesterfield Court House with Pol
lock opposed. He said Pollock was a
hard fighter but fair.
He then spoke beautifully of the
gentleness of Judge McIver, and told
of how his great heart would always
respond to the pleas for mercy when
some poor unfortunate would come in
to court and plead guilty of his faults
and deserved another chance. He said
Judge McIyer had forgiying disposi-
ton and was a just and merciful
judge.
He closed by saying that both had
lived to bless mankind.
Judge Prince then spoke Of the big
heartedness of Mr.. Pollock and told
of his knowledge of his great gener-
osity. He also paid tribute to Pol
locks brain, how for the past several
years he had been in position TO judge
Mr.. Pollockis ability by having the op-
posite side of law cases and had taken
many severe "drubbings" beca1se OF
Mr.. Pollock's brain. He said Mr.. Pol
lock was always able to meet any un-
expected emergency which often arose
in the court room.
He spoke of his warm friendship
with Mr.. Pollock and of the great loss
sustained by his death. He ord cred
the resolutions read by Mr.. Pegues
inscribed in the records of the court
Court then adjourned.
