NEEDS OF "Y0UNG AMERICA"
European Critic Thinks That Youth
ct Great Republic Suffers From
Too Much Freedom,

George Santayana, famous philoso-
pher and writer, in an article written
especially in the Forum on Americas
Young Radicals" says:
II have made a severe effort to dis
cover as well as l may from a dis
lance what these rebels want. see
what they are against-they are
against everything-but what are they
for? have not been able to discover
It, This may be due to my lack of un-
Outstanding or to their incapacity to
express themselves clearly, for their
style is something appalling. But per
haps this scandalous failure In express
sion, when expression is what they
yearn for and demand at all costs
may be symptom of something deep
er; of a radical mistake they have
made in the direction of their efforts
and aspirations. They think they need
more freedom, more room, chance to
be more spontaneous. / suspect that
they have had too much freedom, too
much empty space, too much practice
IN being spontaneous when there was
nothing in them to bubble out. Their
style is a sign of this; it is not merely
that they have no mastery of the Eng
fish language as hitherto spoken, no
clear sense of the value of words, and
no simplicity; that they are. without
the vocabulary or the idiom of cult
waited people. No, it is not
more freedom that young America
needs in order to be happy; 1t needs
more disciDline"

Where Lake Erie Got Its Name.

Lake Erie took its name from a
tribe of Indians, of Iroquois stock, but
not belonging to the Iroquois confed-
eraey, known as the Eries, who lived
in the western part of New York state
on the south shore of the lake. Mr..
Henry Gannett, an officer of the United
States geological survey, and chair
man of the United States geographic
board, in his Origin of Certain Place
Names in the United States gives the
following: Erie, one of the Great
Lakes. from erie, erike, or eriga

Why Girls Don't Throw str.;ah.

1t has always been an interestins
fact that girls cannot throw straight
There are two reasons. First, a girls
clavicle or collar bone, being shorter
than a boys, gives her smaller play

hand throwing depends chiefly upon
the shoulders and chest being carried

With boy this is the heaviest part

CIVIL WAR VETERANS
GIVE PATRIOTIC TALKS

r. A. Nunnelly, G. T. Browning,
J. S. Edwards and Henry Sterling, of
the William English post of the G.
A. R. have been giving a number of
talks in the Bozeman public schools,
as a result of orders from the COM
mander-in-chief of the G. A. R. Mr..
Nunnelly was the speaker of the above
named committee, the idea of the work
being to impress the significance of
Memorial day on all the school chill
dren. All the schools in the city were
visited by the committee and the chill
dren listened to the veterans with a
great deal of interest.
Mr.. Nunnelly is a surprisingly good
talker and is so in earnest in what ne
says that he holds his audience very
well indeed. A number of his own
experiences in the war were of es-
pecial interest. Mr.. Nunnelly served
in the 1st Kentucky cavalry and was
with Sherman in his march to the sea
and is full of all sorts of stories OF
that eventful campaign.

SMALL INTEREST IN
SCHOOL ELECTION
Additional Mill Levy is Voted Down
by Majority of Handful Who
Voted. Less Than IL Per
Cent Vote

The additional mill levy for the
support of the BOzeman public schools
was defeated at the special election
held Saturday by a majority of 20
votes out of total of 185 ballots
cast.
Some 1000 tax payers in District z
were eligible to vote and less than IL
per cent of them availed themselves
of the privilege. AS a result of the
election the school board will go
through with it's present plans and
close the Irving school next year.
The detailed result of the election was;
For additional levy, 78
Against additional levy, 107
Majority against, %.
People keenly interested in school
affairs are at a loss to explain the
very light vote cast. At the forum
meeting held by the chamber of com
merce there seemed to be a great deal
of interest taken and as a result the
special election was called. Light as
the vote was, it showed plainly that
the citizens of Bozeman do not want
additional taxes at this time and that
they believe the Emerson building
fully equipped to handle the additional
pupils that will come to it through
the closing of the Irving school
Some disappointment has beer
voiced by school people as a result Of
the election, while on the other hanC
there are those who seem to think
the plans already made by the schoo
board are adequate and that the higl
standard of the local schools will no
suffer. From the outcome of the elec
tiOn, these latter are apparently il
the majority.

Thieves BUSY
AMONG FLOWERS
Vandals Destroy Beds of Spring
Flowers in Lindley Park. Blooms
Were All Ready for
Memorial Day

There is a saying about people be-
ing mean enough to steal the pennies
from a dead mans eyes. A near ap-
proach to that stage of littleness
came to light in Bozeman yesterday
when it was found that some cSSe had
either stolen or destroyed practically
all the beautiful beds of flowers in
Lindley park, the approach to the
cemetery. Some of the flowers were
uprooted and carried away bodily,
othes were picked and still others
torn to pieces, with only barren
stalks and torn petals left to remind
one Of the beauties Of yesterday. But
one small bed remains in the entire
park.
For several years the city of Boze-
man has been doing more or less work
on Llndley park, each year witnessing
something accomplished. This year
was to mark the finished park for
the first time, and the city authori-
ties went to no small trouble to plant
some wonderful beds of flower, flow
ers intended to be at the height OF
their bloom. on Decoration day. And
this would have been accomplished
but for the work of these midnight
vandals.
The destruction of the flowers was
accomplished during the past two
nights, though just when is no
known, for no one ever thought O1
such a depreciation. 1t is thought
that passing tourists, not knowing the
local conditions nor the sentiment in
volved, might have plucked the bios
SONS, for it is hard to believe anyone
in Bozeman capable of such an act.
City Manager Mendenhall statione,
men in the park last night with in
structions to arrest anyone caugh
lettering around but it is hardl,
likely that anything will come o
this, as the destruction was too com
plete. The city authorities have n
\ clew whatever to the identity of tn
vandals.
