1.-THE WORST EVER"

The craze-it amounts to little
else-for censorship, inhibition, re-
striction and regulation of every
thing from the actions to the
thoughts Of the American people
goes gaily on. Now appears at
Albany. the capital Of the richest
and most powerful state in the I'M
ion, a band Of paid reformers and
eminent near-thinkers who are
making desperate efforts to mil
road through the New York legis-
iAture what is unquestionably the
worst censorship bill ever intro
duced and seriously considered.
This is the Cotillo-Jesse Clean Book
bill-a measure which for sheer
prudery. intolerance, and complete
disregard of the fundamental prin-
eiples of representative government
probably has no parallel in modern
times.
The bill aims to suppress books
which are "%obseene, lewd, lascivi-
Gus, filthy, indecent and disgust
ing" a perfectly legitimate and
IAudable aim, SO far as it goes But
As drawn the measure would ban
scores of classic works. and IL it
were vigorously enforced, would re-
suit in the suppression Of Shake
speare, the dictionary. the Encycli-
pedia B~rittanica; and the bible it
self. It would result in the censor
ing of magazines and newspapers.
Why It does not attempt to regulate
the thought processes Of all those
whose brains have the effrontery
not to travel in the prescribed
groove is something Of e mystery.
The "joker" in this infamous
measure is that provision which nc
gates the whole intent Of amy work.

WHAT OF IT?

Theatricalism SEEM to have in
vaded the political stage in Amer
lea: more theatricalism, that is, than
is usual with US. Congressional
''irreconcilables," worked. up to
fevo- heat over the presidents
avowed plan to have the United
States join a world court, are be-
ginning to strut upon the stage
with m~elodramatic fervor, pro-
claiming to a world which refuses
to be tremendously exercised about
the matter that we are being led
by a Jack Of villains and a poor. de-
luded, kindly executive, into the
ravening NAV Of European chica-
merry.
Everybody but thu irreeoncil-
allies are scoundrels, and there is
something the matter with most ir-
reconcilables. This seems to be the
attitude the opponents OF the
world court assume They fight
among each other for the privilege
to rescuing America from the hands
of intriguing villains. Course you,
Jack Dalton!" Is the new political
battle cry; and the president is a
fatuouB old party who has allowed
some European slickers to sell him
a gold brick.
All of which is very entertaining
md the fact that a very large part
Of It isn't true makes It no less good
as regards melodramAtic value.
But just how arc the irrcconcil-
able going to keep tho upper hand,
since a republican president Is COM
mitted to the world court, and the
democrats favor tho league of ma
tons7 It looks as II they would
just have TO rant on TO tho end Of
the scene with most OF the audi
eaee walking out on them, until
finally their dramatic speeches fall
entirely on rows Of empty seats.

ONE THOU
SAND TIN CANS

One cleanup campaign went
:amuck in the United States recently
all because some city officials had
forgotten that boyhood is naturally
Ingenious.
The city fathers Of Nashville
Tenn, decided that It would be a
grand and luminous idea to nd the
city of tin cans during cleanup
week. Accordingly they put a boun-
ty on tin cans of n cent each, say
ing nothing whatever about how
the tin cans were to be obtained, or
where.
The genus Boy,habftat Nashville,
saw here a splendid opportunity.
Where could tin ans be had in
Greater abundance than at the city
sdump7 Consequently boys of all
ages and descriptions, brought In
all kinds and varieties Of vehicles,
cans, cans and more cans. After
the first hundred thousand had
been piled up in n of Nashville's
busiest streets, and the growing &C
eumulation gave promise Of block
ing traffic for years to come. the
city fathers withdrew the one cent
bounty on tin cans, and had them
all carted back to the city dump,
whence most of them came.
These amusing proceedings cost
the city $1,000 in royalties on tin
cans, to say nothing Of carriage
costs. But the money will have
been well spent II 1t teaches the
authors Of this unique plan that
The first requisite of good govern
ment is to understand ones consti-
tuents-even so humble a constitu-
ency as the American boy.

PREDATORY SPECU-
IATION

The request Of Acting Attorney
General Seymour for an injunction
prohibiting speculation in sugar
futures" Is a surprising move, and
it seems very doubtful if the courts
will grant any such blanket injunc-
ton. 1t would be a revolutionary
action for this country, although
certain European nations already
have severe penalties for gambling
in food futures" which inevitably
results in skyrocketing prices at
n time or another.
The tariff commission, now in
vestigating manipulation in the
sugar market, loves slowly. All
such bodies move slowly. And in
the absence of any relief, or even
the suran that those who rob
the public by arbitrarily jacking up
tho cost of necessities will ever be
apprehended, perhaps Mr.. Sey-
mour's suggestion is good.
1t would not interfere in the
otherwise free and untramelled
flow of capital, via speculation, If
all artificial dealing in food necessi-
ties were stopped. The Sherman
antitrust Ia wcan Of course be in
voked against the sugar manipula-
tors; but convictions under its pro-
visions have always seemed need
lessly difficult and penalties hope
lessly inadequate.
Perhaps some middle ground can
be found to clip the wings of food
spectators without resorting to
anything so drastic as the injunc-
ton sought by the attorney gen
erals office. Yet it seems dubious.
something drastic is needed to cur
tail the power of what is essentially
predatory speculation

Mr.
Merchant
Do you spend as much time and thought in trying to
sell your merchandise as you do In buying?
No matter how keen you are as a buyer, your success
depends on selling.
In buying you carefully consider QUALITY, PRICE
and so as to have a quick and large turn
over.
If you then leave the goods on your shelves without
telling the people about them, the profits from shrewd
buying are materially reduced. To sell them you have to
tell them.
Advertising is as essential to successful merchandise
ing as all other expenditures.
Have you an advertising appropriation based on your
volume of business and are you spending it as judiciously
and selecting your advertising medium with the same
care as you do in buying merchandise?
Wool makes a suit and so does cotton, but you wouldn't
pay as much for a cotton suit as you would for one of wool.
No doubt you would rather have one wool suit to a num-
Der of cotton suits.
Ink on newsprint does not make a newspaper; neither
does it mean results to the advertiser any more than cot
ton makes a good suit. 1t takes REAL, BONA FIDE,
PAID CIRCULATION (being the "all-wool' of a news
paper) to bring you results.
The net paid circulation of the Tribune is now over
10000. We are members Of the Audit Bureau of Circu-
lations which means we must comply strictly with their
bylaws and regulations and have our books audited by
them regularly. Whatever we tell about our circulation
must be the TRUTH and substantiated by the exact rec
ords we keep. We urgently request every merchant to
examine our records-let us show you our record of every
paid subscriber, when he paid and if he is paid UP to date.
Any subscriber in arrears over six months cannot be
counted as a NET PAID subscriber and is not included in
their audit.
1t is and should be just as much the right of every ad-
vertiser to know the TRUE facts about the paid circula-
ton of a newspaper as it is to see and feel the quality of
the merchandise they are buying.
THE ADVERTISING "A OF THE TRIBUNE IS
LOWER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER NEWS
PAPER IN H TATE, BASED ON NET
PAID CIRCULATION.

tween here and Harlowton In the near

In the country or the suburbs this ex-

era where the comfortable dressing Of
women TO. the parts they are playing

for granted.
There is a suit which carries with 1t
all of the latest appendages regarded
as necessary for the smartly con
structed knicker suit. The trousers
are left to blouse n little about the
knees, but they are fitted into nicely
regulated cuffs that button snugly over
the knees and top the ends of sport
stockings exactly suited to the general
character Of the costume. The suit
was made of Il soft and pliable quality
of suede, which, when 1t is properly
selected and handled, looks very much
like a soft velours. However. it is sus-
ceptible of much harder and more con-
tinuous year and can be made to fit
any occasion of sport with the utmost
smartness. This suit was trimmed
with neatly fitted collar and cuffs Of

was a deep. dark gray the black and
