TN the recent death at his ranch
home at Barr, in northern Mon
n tana, of the Rev. F. A. Riggin,
there passed n of the oldest, if not
the very oldest, of the pioneer Pro-
testant ministers of the state, a mai
who gave his life to the work of the
church in the northwest.
Mr.. Riggin was better known to
the early day settlers of Montana
than to the present generation. He
came into the territory in the early
seventies and devoted his efforts to
the planting of Methodism among
the hills and valleys of this great
commonwealth, travelling many thou
sands of miles horseback, conducting
services, marriages and fu-
nerals in sparsely settled commune
ties and organizing and building
churches wherever there appeared

found, and at the same time practical
researches of the Boyce Thompson
Institute. The institute was founded
and endowed with a fund of $780,
900 a year by Col. William Boyce
Thompson, widely known American
financier and philanthropist, who
was head of the American Red Cross
mission to Russia in 1917. 1t oc-
cupies a nine-acre tract of land in
Yonkers, and $500, 600 has been ex-
pended on the newly completed first
unit of laboratory and greenhouses.
The completed group of buildings
will involve an expenditure of nearly
100000.
The institute is the most COM
pletely equipped and stated insti-
tuition of the kind in the world. 1t
is entirely non-commercial and in
the brief period of its operation al
ready has given to the world scien-
tific discoveries of the utmost i'm
portance.

Thompson has a partially completed
100000 laboratory at Yonkers,
N. Y, with an annual endowment
of $~250,000, and an army of test
tube sleuths who are running down
a lot of sensational leads in plant
circles.
Important Business
This business of stirring up the
potatoes is more important than it
might seem at first glance. The in
sistence of the potato on getting its
winter sleep seriously has handicap
ped the potato industry in the ne
cessary interchange of seedlings be-
tween the tropics and the northern
ATTITUDES. For instance, potato har-
vesting time in Maine is potato plant
ing time in Bermuda. The Bermuda
planters have found that northern
seedlings have greater vitality and
yield-but there was the business
of the long winter vacation. The
Maine potatoes, sound asleep, rotted
in the ground. How to wake them
up and get them to work? The prob
lem was put UP to DR.. VIM. Croker,
director of the Thompson Institute.
BY extended research, DR.. Croker
found that a "ShOt" of ethylene gas
served his purpose. AS the ethylene
treatment is simple and inexpensive,
the hardy northern seedlings can be
put to work in the south hereafter.
A Button Trick
The magic button trick is an
other mystifying turn in the ethylene
repertoire. In cooperation with
Frank E. Denny, of the United States
department of agriculture, DR..
Croker has found the gas useful, not
only in ripening oranges and lemons
but in solving the old problem of
"dis-buttoning" oranges. In Florida
the growers want the button off, on
account of their proximity to mar
kets. In California, they want the
button left on. DR.. Croker and
have found that ethylene can
be made to play on either side. The
gas, properly manipulated, will rivet
the button on, and make California
happy, or drop it off, and draw a
cheer from Florida.

the means of transportation were m adequate, and although the elections were held in December, it frequently required members of congress in re national capital Thus in fixing the time of inauguration on March 1, of the year following the election, nearly five months were given in which to reach Washington and on occasions most of the leeway was needed.
 However, as communication methods improved, and it became possible to cross the continent in less than week the argument for the original arrange ment vanished and of late years there has been a growing demand for more responsive government arising out ot the fact that although an entirely new administration may be elected in Nov ember, pledged to policies, differing radically from those in effect, by req son of the ponderous delay necessi- tated by the constitution, several months must elapse before the new government can function.
 It has been becoming increasingly evident for several years that the pro- posed change ultimately would be made, and although it must be ratified by both Houses of Congress, and by three-fourths of the state legislatures -necessitating much additional delay it is probable that within two or
 three years the plan initiated in the Senate will become effective.
 It is not surprising that the attempt
 to limit the presidential term was de feated The principal argument for 1 contracted to one term, he is relieved of burdens or ambitions incident to his reelection and thus will think more of effective statesmanship than practical politics; also that the bur | dens of office have become such that eight years are too long for the presi- dent to bear the responsibilities. The Democratic party few years ago in serted a one-term plank in their plat
 form and their candidate, who was
 elected on the platform-Woodrow
 Wilson-ignored it four years later.
 The argument on the other side is that
 in four years a president gets his bear i ings and frames his policies, and that 1 four more years are needed to carry
 them into effect-assuming that they
 are popular and that he is reelected
 It is argued, too, that even though the
 president be elected for but one term
 he still, in the practical nature oi
 things, must try to continue his party
 in office, though he himself be ineligi

CHEHALIS, April 2-While at tempting to drive off with Harry Big bees car near the Grange store here today, Airron Ashford was captured after Bigbee and Al Kiesel had given him battle.
 Last night Ashford is said by police to have stolen a car from the Harbor Tire company Aberdeen, and driven it to Chehalis. At the city jail he said he had planned to take the gasoline from the Bigbee car and use it in the car he brought from Aberdeen, which he had parked near the West Side school. Ashford gave Castle Rock as his destination and home.

FOR SENTIMENTAL REASONS

At the convention just closed of the Grand Igloo of Pioneers, a resolution protesting against a division of the Territory, was indorsed and passed by the Grand Igloo. Much of the resolu- tion was composed of sentiment and the usual clap-trap calculated to catch the sympathy of the old-timer from a sentimental rather than business view. The Gateway believes and has always believed that the Territory should be divided for the reason that it is so large that it is unwieldy, and could be governed much more cheaply if four territories were made, one from each division. There can be no logi- cal reason for continuing a Territory intact, with coast littoral the size of the entire United States; dominion
