| T WING on his cot IN the Murray
hospital at Butte, recovering
- from two major operations per-
formed during the past few weeks
that would have taxed the strength
of the most healthy, is Daniel Wat
son Beach, 86-year-old pioneer OF
Montana, and the West, and in his
day one of the most widely known
race horse owners in the territory
Owner of various livery stables in
: Helena, in the days before automo-
biles were undreamed of, and the
importer of the first blooded and
registered horses into the then terri
tory of Montana, Dan Beach for
nearly 20 years drove his own trot-
tiers and PAGERS in the famous old
territorial fairs at Helena.
Mr.. Beach is a member of the So
ciety of Montana Pioneers, having
arrived in Virginia City first in
1864. Previous to that he was a
messenger on the Holiday Overland
Mail and Express company, operat-
ing between Omaha and Salt Lake
City with Denver as a halfway sta
tion. He was sent to Virginia City
by his company, which also operated
a stage route to that busy mining
camp from Denver to check up on
the drivers of the stages, who were
suspected of having hand in rob-
berries of mails an dgold shipments,
which were not infrequent occur
rences before the Vigilantes com
menced their operations.
Born in New York.
Born on August IS, 1888, in Bris-
tol, New York, Mr.. Beach, on at
tanning his majority, left for the
west, attracted, he said, by an ur-
gent desire to see bleeding Kan
sas," as that territory was known in
the days preceding the Civil war. He
arrived in Kansas in 1859 during the
administration of Governor Pomeroy
who was appointed by President Lin
coin.
Leaving Kansas the next year he
went to Omaha and for several years
served as teller in the Omaha and
bank until that institution
was rendered defunct by the eco
nomic CONFUSION resulting from the
Civil war.
Mr.. Beach left Omaha following
The failure of the bank and drifted |
westward to Denver and Salt Lake
City. A short time later he was
Jack in Omaha and having obtained
| position as stage messenger he
made frequent visits there on his re-
sular Journeys between that place
md Denver.

The Walloons, be it noted, were of

were later to make him the man he
became. No mollycoddle this; but a
strong character, fitted to meet any

spirit.
On completing the second grade of
the Jesuit order Father DeSmet was
ordained, May 7th, 1927, and with
his ordination ended the days of his
youth.

international bankers, which has at times degraded our State Department from its high service as a strong and kindly intermediary of defenseless gov ernments to a trading outpost for those interests and concession seekers engaged in the exploitation of weaker nations, as contrary to the will of the American people, destructive of domestic develop ment and provocative of war. We favor an active foreign policy to bring about a revision of the Versailles Treaty in accordance with the terms of the Armis- tice, and to promote firm treaty agree ments with all nations to outlaw wars, abolish conscription, drastically reduce land, air and naval armaments, and guarantee public referendums on peace and war.
 In supporting this program we are ap- plying to the needs of today the funda mental principles of American demae- racy, opposing equally the dictatorshi? of plutocracy and the dictatorship of the p7oletariat.
 We appeal to all Americans without regard to partisan affiIiatlon. aud we raise the standards of our faith 50 that all of like purpose may rally and march in this campaign under the banners of progressive union.

AT GRAND PRIx, PEKTN
"Snappy" Thoroughbreds, Equine And
 Human, At Chinese Track


 A race track, re-enforced concrete grandstands with a capacity of ten thousand spectators and containing ev- cry up-to-date accessory, thoroughbreds pounding neck-and neck for the finish line. and, in the concourse, pretty wom. en displaying the seasons latest styles. Such was the Grand Prix, as run this year at the end of spring at Pekin.
 Until recently the race track at the Chinese capital has left much to be desired. The international committee in charge therefore decided to build new grandstands which were to rival those at AnteuiL These were entirely com pleted in fifty-eight days and there was sensational inauguration in the pres ence of the entire foreign colony.
 As may be judged from the photo- graph, the Chinese smart set is not whit behind ours. Perhaps such figures will disconcert those who, on the faith of exotic literature, still visualize Chinese ladies in silken robes, playing with fans and h0bbling along on tiny feet, bound since infancy. These do well enough as screen percentages or charac- ters for Chinese festival" Today China is wholly modernized, especially among the upper class of the capital, and feminist victories, at least in the domain of clothes, are even more com plete there thar. with us, judging by this sportive daughter of heaven" who wears her riding togs with so decided a swagger.--From L'Illustration, Paris (Translated for The Star). sks

 The progressive platform demands the repeal of the Esch- -Cummins law favOrs abolition of injunction in labor disputes; demands collective bargain ing and removal of discrimination against women by measures not pre- judicial to legislation necessary for protection of women and for the ad- vancement of social welfare.
 Luncheon For Delegates
 In lieu of the regular meeting the league held luncheon on Tuesday, July Z2, at the Tutwiler for the dele gates and visitors to the democratic convention. The luncheon ended right on the hour promised-2 O'clOck-and all speakers were held to their allotted time. The league believes in being prompt and fair to every one and when we say that we adjourn ut 2, why , it is:

 Platform Of Progressive Party
 The platform adopted by the progress sive convention which was submitted by Senator La Toilette is model so far as brevity is concerned. It follows:
 For 14S years the American people have been seeking to establish a gov ernment for the service of all and to prevent the establishment of govern ment for the mastery of the few. Free men of every generation must combat renewed efforts of organized force and greed to destroy liberty. Every gen eration must wage new war for free dom against new forces that seek through new devices to enslave man kind.
 Under our representative democracy the people protect their liberties through their public agents.

Writer Discusses Group Control Of
 Congress, Spelling 1t "B-l-O-c-k
 Since the great mass OI the people say nothing until electlOn time, these noisy groups not lntrequently succeed Ill convincing Congress that they are the American people.
 < These blocks will not, of course, in the long run, get away with anything any more than they have ill the past; and 1 may remark that they have been With us from the beginning. George Wash ingtOn warned the people against blocks. 9Nhe only thing new about them Is the spelling of the name. Today they do not spell it ''b-l-o-c-k,' perhaps because they do not like it's intlmatiOns. The dlC- tionary defines u "Dlock" as bulky solid object, intolerance, a DlOckheau. And anybody is q blOckhead who lm- agines that the American people will permit any block or combination of blocks to place its will over thelrs.
 The present blocks will disappear as others have before them. History shows one thing very concluslvely. 1t Is show ing it in Russia now. 1t has shown 1t in many other countries, namely, that no one class ill society has sense enough to govern q nation.
 No one class, whether it be the aris- tocracy or that other foreign thing called the proletariat, which Is used by the same people who spell it "D-I-O-c, . has sense enough to govern all the other classes. It cannot impose its will peacefully and It cannot long have its way by violence. For it to attempt to do so in d democracy is treason to the majority.-David k. Houston in<-Har- per's Magazine

A CHANGING TDEA OF GOD2

The theological bickerings of our time and their ''tincture of choler" as Hobbes would say, are due perhaps to the un- even progress of great shift in the human notion of God.
 The primitive imagination of Diety is often of gigantic omnipotent and Om- nipresent personality. Then, later, men come to think of God as a kind of force or law, or a harmony among infinite laws and forces. This process of mag nifying God from person to ''far-off divine event" proceeds unevenly, as do all ideas. And there is no squabbling so violent as that between people who accepted an idea yesterday and those who win accept the same idea tomorrow
 More important than the novelty of ideas is the differential in the rate at which people accept them. Or it might even be put the other way round-the rate at which ideas accept people as vehicles. An idea often hops into a person and uses him, more or less, as we hop into taxieabs. Christopher Morley, in the Century Magazine.

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE
Tall Races Of Men Found In Tropics
 As Well AS Temperate Zones

AS well AS temperate AOnSS
 It is often said that the tallest people are found in the temperate zones, and the general idea is that the English and the Scandinavians are the tallest races in the world. If, however, you go carefully into the figures you will find that this is not the case.
 The average height of English, Scots and Scandinavians is the same. A full grown man of each race averages 3 feet 72-5 inches in height. The Irish are a fraction of an inch shorter, and next comes Danes and Belgians.
 But these are not the tallest races. In the matter of inches, the records are held by Zulus, IroquOis Indians, Poly nesians and Patagonians. The last, the fullest race in the world, average 5 feet 10 1-3 inches. Now the Zulus live in a semi-tropical climate, the 1rOquois in A temparate one, the PolynesianS in some of the hottest parts of the world, while the Patagonians inhabit the Horn of South America, one of the cOldest and most miserable places on earth.
 In remarkable contrast to the Pata- gonians are the Laplanders, who, re- siding almost on the Arctic circle, are the shortest race on earth, a grown man being only seven-tenths of an inch over five feet.
 The more one studies the matter the more puzzling it becomes, but one point seems clear enough-that climate and latitude have nothing whatsoever to do with height.
 Food and fresh air, indeed, have more to do with the development of the ln- dividual than climate, as is proved by the fact that everywhere the farm labor CT is taller than the artisan.
 A striking example of this IS pro- vided by Scotland, where the farm laborer is four inches taller and St hounds heavier than the average Glas gow artisan. Again, the fishing popu' .a1on ot the Yorkshire coast exceed tht Sheffield workers by three inches Tn height and 24 pounds in weight.-Lon- dnn Answers.

NATURE TO OWN DEFENSE
Spreads Poison Ivy Over Regions
 Stripped Of Wild Flowers

Nature has it's own means of defense against enemies and despoilers. If it cannot fight them with beauty, with growth, 1t does not hesitate to fight them with poison. As if with deliber- ate intention to take advantage of such means of defense, it has lately produced a great and new development of the poison ivy.
 There is probably more of this plant growing along the walls and hedges, in the borders of the thickets, and even in the depths of the woods in eastern Mas sachusetts, than there ever was before. It creates new danger for the gather. CTS of wild flowers and blooming native shrubs. It has appeared this year in places that never saw 1t before. How is this developnient accounted for? Pure ly by the processes of evolution. The removal or decided depletion of many native plants by excessive pluck ing, such as the trailing arbutus, the Virginia creeper, the clematis and oth- CTS, has opened the way for the poison ivy, which nobody plucks--if he knows what it is. The sturdy and irrepressible Rhus toxicodendron is always ready to step in and occupy the ground when any other form of vegetation is re- moved. It will grow anywhere and in any form. It is the most protean plant in the world.
 It will grow flat to the ground like q scattering shrub; it will cover a rock like moss it will run up dead tree or a telephone pole and send out branches greatly resembling those of several kinds of trees; it will do anything to take advantage of any situation. Increas- ing in abundance, it affords consid- erabie degree of protection to other and more shrinking speeies-protection against ravaging hands that fear it. It has, by the sheer force of it's vitality, taken. up the protective function in our out-of-door economy. On this account, tIfe Nomad wishes well to the poison ivy.-Boston Transcript.
