If Listerine had his way every Cousin

business OF raising ROSTERS to xii
each other wi n iron spurs for the
the OBLIGATION of Lsterme's pubic.
He introduced another bill designed
to repeal the law making it a mis-
demeanor Tor the driver OF a team
to drive up on he sidewalk. Lister
inc evidently thinks teams are obso-

his home state.

During the past few days Listerine
has been joined in his freak crusade
by a gentleman named Kelley. NO
two individuals can rise to such a
sabine height Of righteousness as a
Jew and an Irishman when hey hap
pen to have the same kind of COM

attract the attention of Flo LGigheld.
The session would be relieved Of
much trash and he newswriters

Talking about useless and obsolete
laws reminds me Of the criminal syn
dicalism, red flag and sedition laws
passed during he war time hysteria.
These laws were passed during the
war time hysteria when people mag
ined they saw a German spy around
every corner and an anarchist in ev-
cry mine and workshop. These laws
are now never violated or called into
use by prosecuting attorneys. The
people seem TO have recovered from
The Bolshevik bugabO. Some enight-
ened member Of the legislature may
exercise his right to erase these blue
laws from the Statute books. The
days of witchcraft have passed out
i'm Massachusetts, why not in Mon
tana.
Many people in and AROUND the
Senate noted the fact that Senator
Taylor was denied appointments on
important committees. This is re
garded as proof positive thai the
dead hand of Joe Dixon rules the
majority of the Senate. Joe is known
to be very bitter against his political
opponents. His followers In The
Senate would use better judgment if
they tried to cclciliate instead of an
tagonize the progressives of cas- err
Montana. But what's the use of ex-
pecting good political Judgment from
men with a Ku Klux Khan complies
like Senator Oliver and a fathead like
Sena or Dowlin, who was heard to
emit wise cracks against the Chile
Labor Amendment in the solemn tones
of a sheerherder
o
Mr.. Troy of Havre, was an able
ardent and whole-hearted supporter
OF Governor Dixon through thick anC
thin. For he past two years he wa.
spoken Of as The best ftted nam 81
the Republican ranks for The Speaker
ship But when the Republican eau
CTS was held Mr. Troy did not fll thg
specifications laid down for he lead

spcakerahip but gained the respect o.

Before Listerine Lobe saw Town
Topics he had one helluva time with
the publicity given him by the Helena
reporters. He strobe into the House
with an "I'm the only ety" air. Those
in close proximity to him notice that
he shook an extra dose Of perfume
on his clothes every morning and
that the paint was plainly noticeable
on this he mans cheeks. l learn
that Dave Pizon is Listerine's social
mentor. AS matter Of fact he bears
the same relationship to this handy
man of the A. C. M. that a Chinese
poodle dog does to a fat mandarin.
Perhaps that explains why ListeTine
prosecuted Bill Dunno and the Bull
letin staff under the nefalious sedi-
ton laws during the war time hys-
terra. The famous redlight LAWYER
was then pulling his freak stunts as
County Attorney of Lewis and Clark.

MELLON WANTS ID
 USE PLANES NOW
Anxious to War on Rum Row
 From Air
Washington. Dec. IS --Airplanes

Washington. Dec. IS -Airplanes to fight the rum smugglers are to be asked of congress In the near fu- ture by the treasury department.
 The necessity for airplanes to supplement the vessels of the coast guard in the prohibition enforce ment service has developed because of the disclosure that the ever tightening blockade against the rum fleet has forced the rum runners to resort to airplanes to get their con. traband to American shores.
 Details of the treasury department plan are thus far withheld, but deh- nite indications have come from several authoritative sources that the government plans to extend its war on rum to the air. Prohibition administrators are known to have made numerous requests for the use of alrplanes in their work.
 Secretary Mellon has gone so far as to recommend for start two small aviation stations, with four planes each" to take care of "pres- ent requirements President Cool idge has said ho would ask congress for "adtional appropriations for the coast guard for the remainder of this fiscal year" probably meaning items in the deficiency bill.
 Since the coast guard is charged with responsibility of stopping snug gling, and it is the only uniformed, armed branch of the federal service having need of airplanes without ap- propriations for them, it is believed this organization will be chosen to handle the situation. Already the coast guard is operating one borrow ed plane, and it is understood the old prohibition unit had a few available.
 President Coolidge in his budget message to congress gave intimations that he would ask for further re- sources for prohibition enforcement

New Yorker Says He Has Set
 Fire to IA Homes

New York, Dee. 1S.-Thomas Lam drigan. 15 years old, of 627 Colum- bus avenue, who was arrested late yesterday afternoon, has confessed, according to Fire Marshal Thomas P. Brophy, to setting four fires Wednesday and Thursday in houses in the vicinity Of Columbus avenue and 18th street, and ten others in that neighborhood in the last three years. Five of these fires are said to have occurred in the apartment house in which the boy and his family live, and in several of them tenants had narrow escapes from death.
 The boy, q student at De Witt Clinton High school and one of three children, was arrested when the fire marshall found him al the scene of the fire in 623 Columbus avenue yesterday. He had previously been listed as 8 suspect, and had been watched. Yesterday one of the fire marohals asked him what he Knew dDOuL the llrc.
 "Nothing," the boy said. "I found the cop to turn in the alarm" Young Landrjgan was taken to fire headquarters in the Municipal building, where he was questioned
 for more than an hour. At first he
 protested his innocence, but when the fire marshal showed him the
 card on which he was listed as a
 suspect he said:
 I'll tell you the truth. l set the fire this afternoon. but l had no in- 1 tention of hurting any one"
 The boy explained that 1t thrilled him to watch the fire apparatus ar rive at the scene of the fire and to watch the frcmcn at work. Accord ing to the fire marshal, the boy said he went to the first floor hallway of the house, set fire to piece of paper he found there, and then threw it down the cellar stairs. He then went home, changed his clothes and re turned to the scene where he told policeman to turn in an alarm.
 The other fires this week which the boy is said 10 have confessed setting were at 6l West 91st street. 647 Columbus avenue and 643 Co., lumbus avenue. All were cellar fires and because of their similarity the firemen reported them 10 the fire marshal for inVcStigatiOn.

 Refused by Judge

New Haven, Dec. IS tP}-ln con troversy which appeared to be based upon rivalry in salosmanship and in which Judge w. M.

 The court refused 10 limit the sale of flags to one concern. The sidelight on the dispute was that one concern was 10 give a percentage of profits to the American Legion and the other countered by offering a like return to the Veterans Of For eign Wars.
 Judge Pickett at tho hearing commented on what he thought was an effort 10 commercialize the United States flag.
