 Man is the only animal which pays no attention, to the laws of scientific breeding. Any hillbilly who paid as little attention to his stock as man does to his or her mate would be broke within a few years, and have a fine variety of scrubs on hand. Weak mentalities are joined to minds crim' inally inclined and the crop of degen' erttes steadily increases. Our asy' lums. our prisons and our poor farms are filled with thesa unfortunates who should be pitied for the sins of their parents, rather than for any defection from moral turpitude.
 Unless something is done to weed out the. scrubs, we may look for na- tion of weddings. Already in the past generation or so the human race is giving evidence of decline in phy- sical perfection and mental endow. ments. It would be hard to find to- day a writer, an artist or statesman with the brilliant ability of those in the beginning of the last century. Me chanical ingenuity is greater and in ventive genius appears to have i'm proved, but machinery is taking the best out of life and making us na. tion of mechanics. The avid pursuit of riches with it's attendant ills has fastened stronghold upon the nation forcing the sciences, art and music into the background. Even the rich are not buying so much from love of beauty as for the sheer joy of pos session.
 An education is a joy forever to it's possessor, but the man who lifts his head and sees the perfection of nature, and the beauties which sur round him on every hand is far richer than he who piles up money for his heirs to dissipate.
 Perfection can come only from per feet things, and only by constant eff fort can we look for a race of physi cal and mental supermen.

THE BONE DRY LAW

Attorney General Rustgard and At torney Arthur Shoup evidently differ with Attorneys Faulkner and Mar quam in regard to the rights of the legislature to repeal existing laws.
 Last week when the question of re- pealing the Alaska Bone Dry law came up, the aforementioned gentle men declared the repeal lay outside the powers of the Territorial body. Not being an attorney and being un- versed in the entanglements of law we must confess that MT. Rustgard' s contentious appear reasonable. The Bone Dry law was voted by the peo- pie and not by the legislature. It would appear that referendum would be required before the legislature could act. The only reason for re- pealing the Bone Dry law, as we have it from eminent attorneys is that it radically differs from the Volstead
  stances is in opposition to the Federal act in it's application to prohibition There is no doubt but that the Terri tory would be better off working un- der the same statutes and regulations that the AS states work under, and that too many laws are worse than none at all. If the attorneys, who work with the prohibition laws, want certain sections repealed in order to expedite their application, they prob ably know what they want and should have it.
 The constitutionality of the law has been upheld and it has worked for many years. As to the legality of it's repeal this paper has no knowledge.

A WARNING ON THE WEED

With the anti-tobacco campaign as suming the proportions that it has, points out an eastern paper, the wise American will begin his preparations for the next great reform in this land noted for it's liberty of thought, sepech and action. It is not too ear ly now to begin saving cigar bands to clothe the synthetic production of future years. Recipes and fOrmulaes for home brew nicotine should be care fully tucked away in the family Bi- ble Cigar butts and pipe cleanings might be kept in water glass after the winters crop of eggs has been removed The farmer with an eye to the future should realize that maple leaves, alfalfa, and corn-silk eventu- ally will pay much more import ant part in one-half of one per cent tobacco than they do at the present time Nicotine, the reformers assure us, must follow alcohol into the dis card, and the man who loves his morning pipe or his after dinner cig- ar should take time by the forelock and make the necessary preparations against the fearful day.

BACKBONE OF OUR DEFENSE

The country at large is highly amused and more or less-mostly less-impressed by the hairpullirg controversy at Washington over the relative merits of battleships, artil- lery, and airplanes as the best of fensive and defensive military arm of the nation. Things are becoming serious at the capital when our stiff ly-formal bureaucrats take their feet off the table, spit out their cuds of tobacco, and dictate harsh notes to one another. And when things be- come serious at the capital they get funny for the rest of the country.
 Our ignorance of the controversy is such that We don't know whether a fleet of planes would set a battle ship comfortably on the ocean bot tom alongside Davy Jones' locker, or whether our modern warcraft could blow an air squadron six miles tue OlHSE Slue Ol UedNou. uIluel- more, we don't give a rap. We hold that both these services are mere auxiliary units to the real defense of the nation, so we should worry all the curl out of our bobbed hair about losing one or two of them. Experience teaches us that the real backbone of Americas defense is the swivel chair army of Washington. Therefore just as long as our bureau cratic know-it-alls at the capital can keep their shoes polished, their ma hogany desks shiny, and their time honored precedents untarnished, we should fear an enemy chastising us. Let the navy and the air service shoot itself to pieces; what we de- mand is an increased appropriation for more and better swivel chairs!

The project has been under special supervision of the Forest Service of the United States. So successful has been this work that the Forest Ser vice is anxious to extend it's scope and enlist the support and active help of other important national agencies, mo- tably national professional, education al and industrial organizations. It is proposed to change the name of For est Protection Week to American For est Week in order that public inter ests relating to forests other than fire protection alone, may be included in the campaign. This means that in- tensive activity will be centered dur ing the week of April 27 to May in conservation, extention of forest areas reforestation and industrial and re- creational utilization as we'll as fire protection.
 Former Governor Frank o. Lowden is in active charge of the work and has cooperating with him The Forest Service, General Federation of Wo- mems Clubs, American Forestry Asso- citation, National Lumber Manufactur- CTS Association and the Izaak Walton League of America. The sponsors of this movement feel that it should enlist the endorsement of all organiz- ed groups of citizens so that American Forest Week may have truly nation al character.

ANOTHER MoTH-EATEN TITLE

Sung again! Word comes from across the pond that that perfectly good marquis who married himself to one of our most noted and expen- sive moving picture queens is not and never has been a member of the French nobility. In fact, it is said that, instead of being a mar quis, he is nothing more than for mer bartender in New York City who has lived abroad long enough to cultivate a foreign accent, a vivid imagination, and pile of debts.

Horrors! Can not something be done to put an end to such bare-faced be- trayal of the faith and confidence of our unsophisticated American ladies Just because they have hankering for titles is no reason why cold blooded Europe should take advan- tage of their innocence to decorate them with all the old tin cans on that continent! If the League of Ma. itons were not so busy it would be we'll to suggest an international mat rimonial conference.

A RISE IN TEMPERATURE

An English professor has perfected an instrument so delicate, it is said, that it will register the heat of a can dle four miles away, or the blush on the cheek of an English girl three-fourths of a mile distant. If he can get away with that kind of stuff on an English girl, he should be able to register the temperature of some of our red-hot mammas clear across the Atlantic Ocean

WHY NOT TALK 'sHOP?'

The writer had the pleasure, and II was a real
of attending the business" and social
Of the Montana State Press association
at Livingston last week.
It was one of the most successful from the
standpoint Of attendance ever held. It was also
a very enjoyable one, the good people of Living
ston leaving nothing undone which would add to
the comfort or entertainment Of their guests.
In view of the wide representation present, it
seems rather unfortunate that the consideration
of problems confronting the Montana press should
not have occupied a more prominent place upon
the program.
Aside from the election of officers and seIec-
ton of next years meeting place, nothing ap-
peared on the calendar which was of direct inter-
est or benefit to the newspaper men Of Montana
and everything else under the sun except the
problems of the craft seemed to come in for con-
sideration.
What the newspaper men Of Montana need is an
organization conducted along lines of those in
eastern states, where the annual meetings are
given over to discussion of problems met with in
the average newspaper office or printing shop,
giving those present an opportunity to exchange
ideas, and take any action necessary to advance
the interests of the members which the organiza
ton may deem advisable.
Like every, other industry in Montana, the pub
fishers have been hard pressed during the past
few years, not to make money, but to keep then
heads above water until times improved. Many
have been forced out of business. .
Publishers of weekly newspapers in Montana
have no beneficent "angels" to shoulder Their
losses and keep them going. They must rely upol
their own brains and muscles. MANY cOmbinin'
editorial with mechanical duties; in fact, a larg
number constitute the entire force from boss t
office boy.
This being the case, opportunity to swap idea
and discuss the various problems common to Al
which each has had to work out for himsel
should, we think, be the primary function Of tn
state press meetings, so far as the bushes
! feature is concerned.

VOTING AWAY FREEDOM"
fHelena I~ndependentl

$1,000
Again the cry is being raised that the judi
ciary must be curbed in order to bring back
freedom to American citizens" William Green,
president of the American Federation of Labor
is one of the latest to urge a crusade along that
line.
There may be grievances, but with all due
regard to Green's ideas about it, freedom" is
just what American citizens would lose, not re-
gain, if the judiciary were shorn of its power to
declare laws unconstitutional Mr.. Green's own
constituency would be a sufferer
Who set aside the Kansas compulsory work
work?
Who denied Oregon the power to force all chill
dren into the a schools, and is going to deny
to Tennessee the power to forbid the teaching
Of truth?
Who prevents our economic and political
h~eresy-hunters from imposing even more drastic
limitations on free speech than they have yet
found constituticnally possible?
The votes to do all these things exist now, in
certain states and communities, and they may de-
velOp anywhere in a crisis.
There is no people more ruthless, more intoler-
ant, and at times more reactiOnary, than an excit-
ed American majority.
And nothing prevents it from working except
the Constitution Of the United States and The
independent rights Of the judiciary TO enforc.
that Constitution. If the organized workers wisl
to be safe ID their constitutional rights, they vii
do wen to be patient under their constitutions
obligations also.
