FL CONLEY CASE

Seven weeks have been consumed by the
state in prosecuting the p~leadings upon the ff-'
teen counts against former Warden Frank Con-
ley. There has been a flood of vouchers, receipts
and figures presented to support the contention
for an accounting hard to follow. Without. in
any way passing upon the case it is interesting
to observe the methods which seemed to have
existed in the handling of the affairs of the state
Prison during the many years past.
The defense will now put in it's evidence.
Without doubt there will be many witnesses pro-
duced to uphold the contention made in the an
.swer to the complaint and the testimony will at
least be interesting. Friends of Mr.. Conley feel
that SO far his case is as good as when the state
opened its arguments. The line of defense will
be worth following.
There are many widely differing opinions
as to the strength and weakness of the case
Throughout the state. One can find contenders
for both sides at almost every place where there
are a few men gathered. That the trial has been
watched with interest everywhere in the state is
evident from the many versions of it heard from
those who are travelling about the state.
One result of the case will no doubt be OBJ
tanned. In future those who are responsible for
the operation of state Institutions viii be careful
to SO conduct the business that there will not be
cause for such a condition to arise again as that
which appears to have existed at the State Prison.

terrace facing the great statue above
were gathered the veterans. To the
right, a handful of old men had
donned again the blue that gave them
front place in the days events, and
stood to act as guard Of honor when
the president arrived. Flanking these
to the left. a bare score of gray-clad
veterans Of the armies of Lee or
other southern generals stood proud
ly to salute the flag that Lincoln's
vision and high courage preserved as
the flag of one people.
The sight Of these bent men in gray
drew President Harding from the
written text of his address. He was
saying that to LINCOLN, greater than
any other reward he could have
known, would have been the know1-
edge that his vision had been full
filled; that the broad waters Of the
Potomac flowing within a stones
throw of the memorial marked no
boundary line between two nations,
but that from sea to sea Americans
are one people. Mr.. Harding's voice
thrilled as he paused to draw atten-
lion to the gray-clad veterans and re-
call that twice since Lincoln died
men of the southern states, some of
such men as these old warriors, had
come in their strength to fight for the
flag to which their fathers returned
after the bitter eos.
"How it would comfort his great
soul the president said, "to know
that the states Of the southland join
sincerely in honoring him and have
twice since his day joined with al
the fervor of his own great heart II
defending the flag. How it would
would soften his anguish to know that
the south long since came to realize
that a vain assassin robbed it of its
most sincere and potent friend wher
it was PROSTATE and stricken-wher
Lineoln's sympathy and understand.
ing would have helped to heal the
wounds and hide the scars and speed
the restoration.
"How with his love of freedom and
justice this apostle of humanity would
have found his sorrow ten-fold repaid
to see the hundred millions to whom
hhe ~bequeathed reunion and nationality
tgiving their sons and daughters ane
all their fortunes to nalt the armed
march of ~autocracy and preserve civ.
ilization, even as he preserved union

MEMORIAL DAY

Once more the day has been devoted by the
people of a nation who have paused in persuit
of their daily occupation, to do reverence to those
soldier dead who fought and died that the nation
might live. On the one day when the veterans
of a great war march with muffled drums and
draped flags to the last resting place of their
comrades, we who are sharing the privileges and
benefits they fought for, join with them in pay
ing that real reverence they so greatly deserve.
The ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic
are thinning fast, so fast indeed that today there
are but a few veterans now left to do honor to
those who have gone before. 1t is fitting that
the younger generation should take up the duty,
with the spirit of the occasion, and continue the
acts of love which is performed on Memorial
Day. Soon there will be none of those left who
fought the bloody battles that a nation might
not be destroyed, yet the duty owed to the veter-
ans is just as great and will continue to be as i'm
portant as time goes on.
Memorial Day without doubt represents a
greater sentiment of a united nation today, than
in years past. With two wars fought by this
nation, in which the flower of youth from every
section entered, since those narrowing days of
81 to '65 there is no divided sentiment. The pure
motives of the day permits everyone, Irrespective
OIL creeu OF Cr0nQ OF LnOugnC, 10 enCeT into the
ceremonies without any misgivings, and with a
spirit of reverence and unselfishness.
1t should be not only a duty, but a pleasure,
in the futures for every city where veterans, of
the Civil War reside, to make Memorial Day one
in which the living as we'll as the dead are honor
ed. The few who are left today have in most
instances passed the allotted term of life of three
score and ten, their days with us are few, and
those days should be the happiest of their lives.
Let Memorial Day include for them the tribute
which will be paid them after death, present the
flowers while they are living that they may have
the joy of their beauty and the sentiment they
express.

Dedication of Lincoln Shrine
Held With Impressive Ceremonies
CIVIL WAR VETERANS GIVEN PLACE OF
HONOR AT SERVICES ON
BANKS OF POTOMAC

WASHINGTON, May 30.-The
homage of a people was poured out /,
today at the shrine erected by q de-
cade of patient labor to Abraham
lincoln. Under the thoughtful gaze
of his marble likeness. dim in the
shadoYy background of the cleaning
white temple his c~ountrymen have
raised TO him, thousands of Ameri-
cans were gathered.
Men high in the councils of the ma
ton were there. The president came
to accept in the nations name the
memorial. A former president came
to give accounting of his trust as
head of the commission that saw the
great work to its completion. SEN
ators, Representatives, cabinet Off
GERS, admirals and generals were
there; but it was not these, lavish
as were their tributes to the great
dead, who made the day historic in
American annals. 1t was the swell
ing tide of humble people who stood
for hours under a blazing sun TO
claim this temple of freedom and the
man whose memory it enshrines as
their own.
Far as the eye could reach from
the high base of the memorial, Amer
leans were spread over the lawns and
tered under the trees that grace the
setting. How many may have been
there to hear the words of the speak
ers, caught up and flung to far dis
tances by the amplifiers that stud
ded the coping atop the marble struct-
ure no man might estimate. But
when the last words had been said,
when the president had gripped hands
with Robert Lincoln at the foot of
his fathers statue the public broke
over the barriers, and swept un-
checked up the wide steps to see for
itself the things that have been
wrought in the peoples name.
There was little of military splen-
dor about the dedication services,
Just a flourish of trumpets to mark
the coming and going of President
Harding and the solemn ritual with
which the men of the Grand Army of
the Republic dedicated the silken en-
blem of q reunited country on the
steps of the memorial. The words OF
the formal orders at the service were
spoken in voices shaken and thin with
age and the hands that held the ban
ner aloft trembled under the weight
of years.

THE SEVENTH AVENUE ROAD

s*&" During the winter and so. far this. spring.
there has been a great amount of discussion in
the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary and Xiv
anis Clubs and among other civic organizations,
relative to the construction of a hard surface
roadway on Seventh avenue north to connect
with the paving north of the city. 1t seems to DE
the opinion of members of all these organizations
that this roadway should be built at~the very
earliest moment. - ~"@
The seventh avenue roadway under discuss
sion is within the city limits and will have to be
done by the city and paid for by the taxpayers of
the city. The cost is such as to be too heavy
for those individuals owning property abuttinge'
the proposed Improvement. The property owners.
it is understood favor the Improvement, but feel
that the cost to them Individually would be too
great. They will stand a reasonable portion of
the cost. .~s
This strip of roadway, a little over a mile
long, is the most important not only in the city
but in the county. Over this road there passeg
each year, during the tourist season, not less
than 10000 automobiles driven by those wheeare
touring the state. To this can be added the
thousands of cars passing over this roadway If
residents of the. county coming to Bozemansessard
returning to their homes. There is more travel
sover this particular roadway daily than over any NY
2other street in the city. ' 80 &.
The city Commissioners are doing their@besE
to so operate the affairs of the city to keep with
in the funds available. They dosnot feel af nrbev4
sty TO proceed with the expense OF building tlfe
road without knowing that the people Of the Fcng
&really desire it. They may feel as individuals
that It should be constructed, yet they cannot be
expected TO act as commissioners upon aanahfRnT
Ainvolving the expense necessary TO build the Tosads

PLENTY OF EMPLOYMENT.

Officials of the United States en-
ployment service declare that every
person in the country who wants to
work will be able to find employment
this summer. Already many states
are finding it difficult to get build
ing mechanics, automobile workers
and farm help. Railroads are hiring
an increasing number of men every
day, the steel mills are needing more
help to fill their ever increasing or
ders, and the opening Of navigation
on the Great Lakes means work for
a small army of men. There is a
marked shortage in domestic help re-
ported from various parts of the
country. This means that more
money is coming into the homes for
expenditure, as an increased demand
for domestics always accompanies a
business improvement.

PITTSBURGH PLUS" ON THE sKIDs

The artificial, arbitrary, and uneconomic ma
ture of the Pittsburgh plus practice of fixing
prices of rolled steel is revealed effectively in the
explanation offered by students of the steel stu
alton for the proposed construction of an i'm
mense tube mill at Gary. According to this ex-
PLANTATION, Independents in the Calumet district
not long ago took orders for steel tubing away
from the corporation by the simple method of
eliminating Pittsburgh plus and therefore un-
derbidding the corporation, whose nearest tube
mill was at Lorain, o.
The Independents thereby proved most con-
elasively that without the Pittsburgh plus,,price
sgstena1tnbing g could be manufactured and sold, at
a profit in the Calumet district. What they could
do once they could do again. The United States
Steel corporation realized the danger and pre-
pared plans for construction of a tube mill hare
which would be able to compete with the mae
.pendents. No hetter.argument could be advanced

One of their chief arguments in favor a5of
