CITY GOVERNMENT.

The Courier has expressed its dsapproval in
the past two issues of what it considers errors
made by the city commissioners and the city man.
ager. 1t has voiced the opinions of many others,
as well as that of its own, not with a view of
being a nagger or a distructionist, but from a
constructive viewpoint.
This newspaper supported the movement for
the commission manager form of city govern
ment. The Courier has not changed in its opin-
ion that the new system of government, just
adopted by Bozeman, is the most economical and
satisfactory form. 1t has been tried with sue
cess by other cities, and so long as the affairs of
the city have been carried on for the best inter-
ests of that city, good has been realized.
There is no occasion for undue haste upon the
part of the citizens in seeking to again change
the machinery of government back to the old
form. Rather let the present form have time to
overcome any errors which may have been made,
than to add to the already heavy tax burden by
calling another election. Criticism, such as The
Courier has expressed, is made with an honest
interest in the welfare of the city. Such criticism
should be taken with the same spirit in which it
IS given.
The Courier has expressed the belief that the
commissioners are at all times working for the
best interests of the city of Bozeman, and it con-
tinueS to think this is so. Making mistakes is
one of the traits of human nature, and because we
believe mistakes have been made, a criticism has
been expressed. However, we are for Bozeman,
for the new form of city government, and will do
our best to see it succeed. This paper will do its
share in supporting the present form of govern
ment to the end that it will prove just what it is
intended to be.

CUTTING CROSSLOTS.

With the warmer days soon to be upon us, the
melting of the snow, and the springtime soften
ing of the ground comes the danger of many
pretty lawns being ruined. This danger lies in the
habit SO many have of shortening the distance
around a corner by cutting across. 1t is a bad
habit.
Many homes in the city of Bozeman, as well as
the churches and schools, have beautiful lawns
upon which a great amount of money and labor
has been expended. One of the boastful claims of a
resident here is that we have more fine lawns and
boulevards than any other city of its size in the
state. Let us keep it that way.
1t is to be regretted that some of the short cuts
being taken during the winter are over the
grounds of churches. If this habit is kept up un-
til the snow is melted and the muddy days come,
then a path will be worn across the corner of the
lawns and a bad effect result. 1t will be like a
person with regular features spoiled by an ugly
scar, disagreeable to look upon.
How fine it will be if everyone thinks of the
other fellow when arriving at one of these cor
ners, and, instead of cutting across, just take the
three or four steps more necessary to turn q
square corner. Those who have worked hard to
make a fine lawn will appreciate the thoughtful

SMUGGLERS BRING ON

 On the Bohemian limo the author tties operated for Q time on the prin- ciple that every German coat has, or should have, a German lining. They previously. had lost much time in arguing with travellers as to whether or not the clothing in their possession at departure had been brought in with them, or was material newly &C., ouired in Germany. These discuss sions were obviated finally by stamp ing the Things of all articles of clothing at the time of entry into the country.
 Smugglers were not slow to vitiate this means of Identification. They had double Things put into their old wearing apparel. After the top one had been stamped, 1t was used for any new article of clothing later pur- $ chased in Germany When the offi- cials detected this circumvention of their scheme, the stamping was aban- doned. Instead, expert German tail- ors are now engaged on the customs staffs to examine all clothing and es- tablish it's place of origin.

 EASTER ISLAND IS HORRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE, BROWN STATES

London. Deeember 2. - Easter land. the land of mystery of the South Pactfie virtually devoid of vegetation and without bird life of any Kind, is a horrible place to live, according to a New Zealand scientist who is now in London after five months stay on the island.
 No trees grow on Easter island because it lacks water and the heavy winds wreck them. No birds live there because there are no worms in the dry soil; there are no mosquitoes, but this lack Is more than compensated by vicious local flies.
 The island is triangular. 12 miles by nine by seven. and is remote from the track of ships. Two hun dred Polynesians inhabit it, and they suffer perpetually from hunger, ac- cordng to the investigator, who Is Professor J. MacMillan Brown.
 It is famous for it's high carved stone images. the origin of which never has. been determined. Profess sor Brown says the island cannot have been long inhabited He fixes 1900 as the date of the first set tiers. and consequently of the set ting up of the strange stone gods. It was first sighted by white men in 16S6, and first explored in 1722, when 1t had 2.000 inhabitants.

 Dramatic Epic--Trianon

feature of the great revolution, the dance of the Carmagnole. Mir. Grif- fifth pictures the mob in the heights of hysterical carousal, dancing through the streets in files of men and women cavorting like savages in the extreme of barbaric dance frenzy, leaping. whooping, laughing in ma niacal manner. horde on horde sweeping through the streets without direction or apparent intent save to find space to direct their steps. Old and young caper in frantic abandon. The women. in their aban- dorment to the spirit of their wild emotions. had adopted a dress that matched barbaric impulse, forsaking all modesty. They thus yielded to the Gemoniacal and by example in- spired like unrestraint in the male comrades.
 But, if one reads Carlyle. that stage chronicler whose history of the French revolution is in esteem the most authoritative, Griffith has been
 extremely temperate in his direction of the Carmagnole dance as pictured.

Many persons to whom details of history are vague may see in the new D. W. Griffith photoplay, "Orphans of the Storm," a great dramatic epic, which under a United Artists cor poration release is coming to the Trianon this week. certain scenes pieturing events of the French revo- lution.
 During that period happened the incidents of the original play upon which the picture was founded, "The Two Orphans"
 The scenes referred to are of so wild and frenzied a nature that the thought will project itself that exag geration was exercised to the extreme as the dramatists license. Those in- cidents relating to the dancing of the Carmagnole are most likely so to be stamped and that these people pie ,, tured in violent barbaric dance are merely introduced in such orgies to create quickened action.
 The scenes mentioned are con cerned with perhaps the strangest
