GOES TO DISTRICT COURT

As the result Of the preliminary
hearing in the case Of the State o.
Montana versus Frank Metheny, police
chief of the City of Bozeman, charged
with assault under cover OF his police
authority, which was held last Thus
day afternoon before Justice of the
Peace Ed A. Franks, the defendant,
who was originally released on his
own recOgnizance was ordered bound
over to the district court for trial
during the coming criminal term OF
court.
The justice held the case under adj
viAement from Thursday afternoon
until Friday morning at 10 O'Clock
when his judgment was recorded
Mr.. Metheny was net required to CIV
bond but was allowed to retain n
liberty under his own recOgnizance.
In the original complaint file'
against the Bozeman chief OF police
it is alleged that on July "a ne en-
tered the shoe repair and shoe shin
ing shop Of Dan Kochikis, on Man
street, east, and attempted to arres
the proprietor by force when ne re
sisted arrest without a warrant bein.
served on him. The chief said tn
shoe man had shOrt-changed a Gus
toner the sum OF so cents on a ma
cleaning job, Constable Fran
SLAUGHTER, who was called into tn
shop by Mr.. Metheny to assist him I
making the arrest, refused his ser'
;cos when he found the chief was Nc
armed with a warrant.

probably over $4,000, respectively.
In the fiscal year 1921 fines were
levied aggregating 1880, 900. In
1922 they reached $4,O41, OOO. in 1922
they totaled $5,832,OOO, and in the
year just closed they were expected
to reach $1,000, 900. There is no re-
cord OF total Jail sentences imposed
in 1921, but in 1922 they aggregated
1922 years. in 1928, 1908 years, and
in 1924 they exceeded 3,14S wears.
These figures relate only to those
cases taken to federal courts. They
do not include many thousands of
others made by federal agents but
turned over to local courts for dis
posal.

Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying a little Mentho-
Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist
Because of its germ destroying proper
ties. this sulphur preparation instantly
brings ease from skin irritation, soothes
and heals the eczema right up and
leaves the skin clear and smooth.
Il seldom fails TO relieve the torment
and Disagreement. Sufferers from skin

events in both countries and to interpret them in the light of mutual benefits.
 The average citizen of America or England does not know what the purposes. the efforts and the service of the American newspapers mean in the establishment and maintella nee of friendly relations among nations. It IS pleasing to note that leaders of thought and industry, no less than official circles, of both nations, realize and appreciate the value of this service. ;, v tiS&.t. ssS
 England is closer to America than is any other nation, not only because. of common bonds. of speech, customs and modes of thought but because of close industrial, com mercial and financial ties. England is Americas largest trade patron. More An1eri- cans visit England, than any other country. Thousands of Englishmen reside in America, and many Americans make their homes in England. Through quick transportation ia cilities and means of communication, these close .srelations will result in increasing mu- aIEBenefits, and the American press will l,a TsE even broader influenee in adv yancing a friensliy understanding between the two na- tiohs.s
 This situation is in no sense an accident ; nor is it the result of prejudices, special fa- yors or political conspiracy. 1t is the out growth of natural conditions, the develop ment of mutual economic benefits. 1t can be Ntilized with great advantage to both nations in their attitude toward one another. The American press in contributing freely to so notential a condition, has rendered far reaching service to both nations. 1t is in teresting to note the frankness with which England's leading influences acknowledge that service.

ATOMIC. .fINTERFERENCE

Press dispatches announce that the scien55 lists are about to get together m the een. struction of a more fantastic world than anybody heretofore dared to imagine. Ac- cording' to the theory of atomic structure on which the chemists and physicists are now agreed. the solar system with it's planets re- volvine about the sun in their inevitable orbits is produced in miniature in each atom on a scale invisible to thei naked eye. Until recently it seems the chemists held that the atom was made up of electrons Arranged Tn concentric cubes around their atomic center. These electrons were stable and did not move. N On the other hand the physicists evolved the theory that each atom was a little world in itself, consisting of sun, called a nucleus, with little planets called electrons, revolving rapidly about this nucleus. While both branches of the scientists agree on this subject, the chemists also maintain that some electrons have moons revolving about them, and thus has been developed the world within the world.
 n All of which is very interesting to those who are informed, in obtruse scientific phe- nomena. The knowledge will undoubtedly some day be minted into human benefit. Yet there. are many who feel a deep interest Tn intricate things of this kind, when their se- rious and prolonged contemplation may be employed as excuses for failure to split kin ding to cook the evening meal, or to mow the grass nicely during the heat of the day. It is sometimes surprising to note how many folks welcome such opportunities and attach importance to the development of science ac- cordingly.
 The situation recalls humorous picture in one of George Ade's comedies. At the cor ner grocery group sof contentious citizens snentS much time between meals, and argued everything regardless of their knowledge, while their wives did the necessary work to keep the pot boiling. One elderly gentle. man., ever ready for an argument, couldn't wait for someone else to start something and declared vehemently that Eve ought to whip England" growing red in the face with the announcement. stray travelling man asked him where England is, to which he re- piled: '.Darned if II knows exactly; a freckle on the, ocean somewhere; but she's insulted us long enough; we ought to whip her good and proper."
 There are fortunately many intelligent people who are 50 engrossed in more intimate service that they are willing to let the scien- tists solve these obtruse problems, but who contribute. largely ito the process of keeping the world going, even though they are not informed of the highly technical aspects. Such is the constructive Texas editor who devoted most of his time to eliminating cor rupt politics, and who replied in his paper to a friend asking his opinion of pamphlet entitled, Linguistic Monolism," that he was willing to do what is right about it, and was always willing to do his part.

Many local Civic bodies and individuals havt co-onerated with public officials, especially those connected with road building, in tho program of keeping the roads free from trash. ugly signs and other objectionable things, and of planting trees and shrubbery to preserve the states natural beauty
 When it is considered how many millions of dollars are spentsin every sectiDn or tne country on beauty, and how increasingiy large are the returns, the value of sucn movements can readily be seen, Beauty IS one of, the most valuable and producuve agencies, in any country. Whether art, fiori- culture, forestry, civic attractions, dress' music or the hundred other forms of beauty he considered, it's value, in the scheme of life cannot be overlooked Nearly every pro srcssive state. and section is seriously en' gagged in Increasing it's attractions not only because of the influence in developing large tourist movements and trade m such terri: tory. but for the local benefits, aesthetic' hygienic and economic. s{.fs.f z. K Florida has very large tourist business. Few states have made more progress m road building In many parts of Florlda the combined city, county and state tax IS nearly double what it is in Alabama, yet the business men of those sections unhesitat- ingly declare that the tax is a wise invest rnent producing large returns. Thousands of people go to Florida and leave millions of dollars every year because of the goou roads. The tourist business of Florida mas been more than sufficient to meet the cost of all the paved. roads in that state. By beautifying these highways and keeping them attractive the tourist business will materially increase. What Florida has accomplished through constructive road. building pro gram can be done in Alabama and many other states which offer many natural at fractions to tourists, not to speak of the benefits to the people of this state. It is il question of vision and eominen sense. VI j

ever there was aylawyer or a client who lost a cause without feeling that the court was either corrupt or incompetent; But. if agita- tion to change the rights of the supreme court is to continue, then the people ought seriously to consider possible results under the proposed change, remembering that or ganic law is made for what may happen, rather than for what will probably take place. es
 If seven justices are to agree in declaring an act of congress invalid, then the legisla- tive authority of this country will be SUI preme, if in any way it can control the opin- ion of three of the justices of the court. Let us suppose, merely for sake of illustration, that the religious controversy which is going on in this country at the present time shall keep up. Let us. assume that a sKu KIux president and overwhelming Ku Kiux congress are in office in Washington Then let us assume further that three vacancies on the supreme court bench are filled by the appointment of three justices of Ku Klux tendencies. Under these suppostitious condi- tions. let the congress of the United States pass an act that Roman Catholic shall not any longer be permitted: to worship God ac- Icordingrto the dictates of his own conscience. Three justices voting that this was not pro hibiting the free exercise of religion as guar anteed in article | of the constitutions but had only to do with churchly establishment, the Roman Catholic would be q prescribed citizen of America. N. ls..
 j Under like circumstances, let us assume that the party in power had been yexed. an- noyed and harassed by public speeches and by articles in the press of the United States 1; and let us assume that the legislative body, smarting under the injustice of, those as- saults, should declare that although man may speak or print what he pleases under the government of the United States, yet if he speaks or prints anything by way of sad- verse criticism of the party in power he shall be deemed guilty of an offense against the law and sentenced to the penitentiary. The three justices, -resenting party. criticism and incensed by personal attacks, might hold that the guaranty, or article was not inn pinged upon by the statute; that the act did not deprive the citizen of his rightlto speak or print :. that it only made him responsible for his sayings or his writings, and that..al- though the act might hold him responsible for his conduct and although he spoke truth.
