APRIL C N

Did you know that five of Americas six great
wars commenced in April, that the Civil war end
ed and Americas greatest tragedy occurred in
this same month?
Here are the facts:
Revolution began April 10, IT'S, at Lexington
and Concord.
Mexican war began April "a, 1916, on the Texas
frontier.
Civil war began April IL, 1861, with the bonn
harding of Ft. Sumter, South Carolina.
Spanish-American war began April 10, 1898.
United States declared war on Germany April
6, 1917.
The Civil war closed with Lees surrender at
Appomattox and President Lincoln was assassin
ated in April, 1865.
The only war in which Uncle Sam did not gain
complete mastery was the struggle of 1872 with
England, and this was our only war which did
not commence in April.

LET'S TOOT OUR OWN HORN

Montana will be the Mecca for thousands of
tourists and prospective settlers this season.
Not only have the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and Burlington railroads, which spon-
sored the Montana Month publicity drive last
December, received more than 100000 inquiries,
but other railroads, chambers of and
other agencies which dispense information are
receiving inquiries daily from people living all
over the United States and Canada regarding
Montana and her various scenic, agricultural and
other advantages.
Many cities are already sending out booklets
containing information, views and other data re-
garding their own particular sections.
Bozeman, whose natural advantages are UNI
surpassed by any and equalled by few cities, even
in Montana, cannot afford to lag behind her sister
municipalities in this regard.
Bozeman and the Gallatin valley can probably
offer more to the prospective settler than can any
other section in the west.
We have here many churches, splendid schools,
a unit of the state university, good highways,
magnificent scenery and one of the best agricul-
tural counties in the world.
The promised completion of the GalIatin Way
this summer will make Bozeman a gateway to
Yellowstone park, and the official opening at West
Yellowstone this season will give the Sweetpea
City much beneficial publicity in this connection.
Ebert Hubbard coined a slogan as follows
"Whosoever tOoteth not his own horn, the same
shall not be footed"
It's up to Bozeman to toot her own horn and
toot it loudly if she is to receive the full benefit
of the favorable publicity now being received by
Montana-mOre especially as she has so many
tangible assets to offer those from less favored
sections of the country.

WHERE OUR LIBERTY is GOING

Senator BOrah's warning to the people of Amer
lea, whose cowardice he says is permitting chang
es in our government that are destructive of lib
erty and happiness, deserves more than passing
consideration. He does not openly charge the
existence of an organized movement to strip the
people of their liberty, but he does say reports
of such a plot have been broadcast in the press
for several years.
The people are regulated to death. The respon-
sibility of the home is pushed over on the govern
ment, the work of the church is shifted to the
government. The duty of the schools takes the
same road. The result is private interference
and official control of individual action to a point
that would make the fathers of the nation froth
at the mouth.
For every difficulty that arises as a result of
our complex civilization we look for a remedy in
the creation of some new board of control. Every
phase of business and private activity is put in
charge of some bureau or commission. These
bureaus are given powers far beyond anything
ever contemplated by the farmers of the consti-
tuition. The embrace the legislative, the judicial
and the executive functions of government and
rise superior in power to the government itself.
We are in rather a bad way when we admit
the law has broken down and that our courts are
a failure, but we are in a worse way when the
people supinely permit czar-like power to be hand.

Editorial Comment
PLAYING POLITICS EXPENSIVE TO
FARMERS
(Sweet Grass News)


The price of playing politics is about to be paid
by the agricultural interests of Montana. This
statement is made in reference to the retirement
of Chester G.. Davis who for the past four years
has been at the head of the state department of
agriculture and publicity and who is nationally
recognized as an authority on agricultural sub
jects. Governor Erickson did not r%eappoint Mr..
Davis, and under the rules of the political game
as played in this country, is not to be criticized,
even though Mr.. Davis was one of the most eff
cient and valuable men Montana has ever had.
Upon his retirement from the agricultural de-
partment Mr.. Davis is leaving for Chicago, where
he is taking up a big work in organizing farm
activities, and has announced that after a year or
so in this work, will engage in business.
In the loss of Chester G. Davis Montana loses
one of its very best men who has devoted his time
and talent to the upbuilding Of agriculture in this
state. He is a recognized authority on agricul
ture and marketing problems and through his
sterling integrity and fine personality had gained
the confidence of all elements of the farming in
terests of Montana. His leaving the state is z
distinct loss.

the march of civilization never would have start
ed. It has been said that it is not all of life to live,
and if that were not true there would be no in
centive to achieve. Human energy must be dir
ected toward accomplishing greater and greater
things as time wears on or our social structure
would fall and civilization would stagnate.
The world parcels out it's bounty according to
individual effort, but there must be that effort
or the bounty is withheld. It is a fallacy to as
sumo that something may be had for nothing.

WORLD is NO MANS DEBTOR
{ San Francisco ChronieIel

The man who believes the world owes him a
living can never collect. The world owes no one
a living. 1t will yield all that is required for
human sustenance, comfort and happiness, but
it has its price and that price must be paid before
the delivery Of the goods.
A man adhering to the theory that the world
is indebted to the human race and insisting he
was going to collect the living due him in any
way possible was sent to jail in a California city
as a vagrant. The man pays instead Of collecting.
The public may provide him with temporary shelf
er and something to eat, but he pays for it with
his liberty and his self-respect.
Doubtless there are deluded persons who do not
believe in individual effort as a necessary factor
to human existence. But if their theory held good
there would be no progress, no development. and

SUN BATHS ARE
POPULAR IN
PRAGUE
CzechosIoVakians Adopt Is as
Substitute for Joys of
Shore
BY International News Service.

PRAGUE, July 16.-SurI baths
are now in vogue in Czechoslo
vakia. The country not being bless
ed with a seaboard, the people have
to make the best of things and they
do so accordingly.
The Czech method, in very 1ot
weather, Is to avoid the heat by
counting the sun. Instead of com
planning of the heat, the moment
the days work Is through they
make for the River Vitava, which
flows through the heart of the city
and is the playground Of Prague in
summer and winter.
When the summer begins wooden
structures are erected at various
points along the river, where both
sexes are catered to in the way OF
dressing accommodation. Every af-
ternoon and evening these places
are crowded with bathers who lie
summing themselves until they are
quite brown.
Sundays and holidays are the
red letter days. Both banks of the
river for the space of about three
miles are thronged with humanity.
Whole families board the small
steamers going up stream, disem-
bark at some chosen spot where
they substitute almost negligible
bathing suits for their ordinary
clothes, and then lie in the sun
until sunset sends them home.
There are no signs Of luxury. No
pretty frocks or immaculate young
men. The Czech takes his pleasure
democratically.

JAPAN'S PRESS
RAPS j. s,
COURTS
Decision Refusing Citizenship
to World War Veterans Stirs
Storm Of Protests

TOKYO, July 16.-Bitter attacks
upon the United States character
lied the reception by several Jap.
anese newspapers of the news from
Washington that the Supreme
Court had denied the right of nat
uraliZation to Japanese who served
in the American expeditionary
forces during the war.
This decision was seized upon by
those newspapers with anti-Ameri-
can tendencies and made the basis
Of caustic criticism.
The Osaka Mainichi leads the
anvil chorus. Americans are spite:
full, like snakes and serpents!'
charges the Mainichi. "The voice
Of justice lie feeble in America, -
the Mainichi further proclaing, and
adds the indictment that 1.-THE Gov.
eminent of the United States is an
impostor!'
Touching upon the subject Of
Americas alleged fear that the
Japanese one day will dominate
Hawaii and the suggestion that
steps might be taken to deprive
the Japanese in Hawaii of the
right OF citizenship, the Mainichi
declares:
1T is granted that the Ameri-
cans are free to revise or modify
their national Constitution Of their
voluntary will.
"Other nations are not in a po-
sitton to interfere in the domestic
affairs Of the United States.
But citizenship has been grant
ed to all Japanese who were born
in the Hawaiian islands, in accord
ance with the United States Con.
stitutfon.
DO the Americans think them
selves justified in insisting upon
the deprivation of acquired citizen
ship from the Japanese born in
American territory? Is it conform.
able to the principles Of their ma.
tional Constitution? They may sue
cessfully drive the Japanese out OF
the Hawaiian islands. but their In.
justice will greatly discredit their
national Constitution"
The Mainichi further contends
that the Japanese in Hawaii arc
completely Americanized, $50 that
they are ready to fight their ia
therland in the event Of contin.
gencies with Japan"
Turning to the Supreme Court
decision regarding naturalization OF
the Japanese who served in the
American army during the world
war, the Mainichi asserts that the
court has been party to a breach
Of trust.
