Evening Attendance
At Fair Exceeds
Day by Hundreds

Although the afternoon attendance
at the fair grounds was estimated to
be between 1900 and 5000. the
evening crowds exceeded this by
many, many hundreds. Densely
packed throngs milled and surged
about the main avenues and the mid
way, bent on seeing and hearing
eyrything that was going on.
The Whip, the Merry AIixup, fer
rs Wheel and all other rides were
carrying passengers to capacity.
Booths Of all kinds were doing a
rushing business. Every one seemed
to be there for enjoyment's sake and
were apparently having a good time.
The fireworks display was most
magnlhcant feature of the evening.
The set pieces were beautiful, and
each succeeding one touched off
seemed to Guido its predecessor in
merry splendor. A huge bicycle with
srder mounted on it was a spectacle
long to be remembered. The fiery
eyclist propelled his flaming machine
several yards before the work ex-
PRED.
another most wonderful piece was
an aWe-inspiring waterfall or rather
cascade of multi colored flame
The display ended, as it did the
preceding evening, in a set piece,
representing the Stars and Stripes in
living fame.

TLAVOR Is the all-inportant point
IN food. In oats it is probably
more important than in any other.
That is why people who once taste
the toasty richness of Quaker Oats
are spoiled thereafter for all others.
Quaker favor is unique, toasty and
delightful. No other oats offers it
to you. Some so years were spent
perfecting it.
Quaker milling, too, retains much
Of the bulk" of oats. And that makes
iaxatives less often needed Protein,
carbohydrates, and vitamines and this
"bulk" are thus combined to make
Quaker Oats an excellently balanced
ration.
For your own sake, say Quaker
when buying oats. Two kinds now at

to S minutes) and Quaker Oats as
always.

STREET WIDENING
POWERS LIMITED
Commissioners Defeated in
Test Involving 34th Street
in 27O0 Block.

The Commissioners of the District.
under the act of March 3. 1926. do
not have. as they contend, unlimited
power in the matter of widening all
highways and thoroughfares in the
District. according to an opinion
handed down yesterday by Justice
Smith in Equity Court The opinion
was given on the motion of the Dis
'Lx,cI commissioners TO dismiss an in
junction suit brought by Harry L.
Hoffman. Edna r. Hoffman and Alice
BumpuS. owners of premises 2fl2
Thirty fourth street. between MaSSa- =
chusetts and cleveland avenues VINO
sued to prevent widening of the street
"a 40 feet at that point. The motlpn
WAS denied.
There is nothing in the act of
March 3, 1926, which would warrant
TIA court in concluding that Congress
I'm changed it's mind as To the paved
width of Thirty fourth street or that
il intended to authorize the Commits
soners to pave the street to less or
greater width than that prescribed ny
the act of 1925" says the opinion.
"Unfortunately Congress failed to
specify what part of Thirty-fourth n
street was TO he paved 10 n Wihlh oi
80 feet and what part was TO be
psved to a width Of 40 feet. but that
lack of definiteness does not alter the
fact that the legislative intention was
clearly expressed that the paving of
part of the street should be 30 feet
wide and part of it 40 feet wide.
THE act of 1925 is special inasmuch
as il appropriates money for the pay
ing of definitely described part of
Thirty-fourth street to a width OF 30
and 30 feet The act of 1925 is gen
eral in its terms and applies to all
highways for the improvement of
which appropriations have been made
in preceding acts. The legislature
ha aving its attention directed to
special subject and having observed
all the circumstances of the case and
provided for them does not intend by
general enactment afterwards to
derogate from its own act when II
makes no special mention of its IN
tention so to do"

A FEDERAL UNIVERSITY

George Washington, as president of the United
States, was an insistent advocate Of federal uni
versity. Since Washington there has been a sue
cessiOn of advocates who sought to establish, at
the national capital great seat of higher learn
ing Of recent years various educators interested
in educational finance have offered tabulatioRs
designed to show that the federal government
diverted its revenues and its energies almost
wholly into nOn-educatiOnal channels and largely
into matters concerned with war.
AS a matter of fact, the dream of President
Washington long ago became an actuality, and
instead of negligible percentage of revenues and
effort of the federal government being directed
towards educational ends the major portion of
federal expenditures and effort is so directed.
Anexcellent illustration of this fact is afforded
by the department Of the interior. This depart
ment is essentially in itself federal university,
maintaining schools of education, engineering
geology botany, zoology, chemistry anthropology
geography, psychiatry, and research.
The manner of functioning Of these various
schools" Of the department of the interior il
very clearly and tersely set forth by the secretary
of the interior in a handsomely illustrated poster
entitled "a Federal University For the People
Copies of the publication may be obtained from
the secretary's office in Washington, D. C.

THE GREATEST EVIL

We are guided and governed by the eternal
laws Of justice, and everyone high and low, must
obey them if we are to continue to live and pros
per, says Senator Guy D. Goff of West Virginia,
writing for the National Republic under the title
Guide Posts of Human Experience" Senator
Goff says in part:
There is no greater evil today than the nom
enforcement by public officials Of laws which they
have sworn to uphold.
"It is not for an executive, state or federal,
to ask whether a law is good or bad He should
enforce it, or confess failure and resign. There
FORE behind every public office stands power
which creates it, and to which it is responsible.
That power under our form of government is the
sovereign will of the people.
''No government can be maintained without a
principle of fear as we'll as of duty. Good men
will obey the latter; bad men will obey only the
former The underlying evil in the administra-
tiOn of our public affairs is simple dishonesty.
Our public offices are too often held by dishonest
men-and too often used for dishonest ends. The
error is rooted in mistaken and immoral theory
as to the nature Of the positions they hold. In
law and morals, a public office is but an agency
of the people. They fix it's duties and supply
it's salary. Few deny this truth, but practically
it is contradicted every day in all parts of the
Union.
'"To have good government, we must have good
citizens-and always, continuously, a warfare
without truce or quarter against those who violate
the law. It is strange, but true, that bad men
are combined and good citizens are divided, and
that therein lies the cause of lawbreaking. Il
the good would join hands, the lawless could dc
nothing, because they constitute but small pro
portion of the entire population. Burke's vel
known words cannot be too often quoted. There
never was long corrupt government of a virtuOu'
people, When we find any self-governing people
afflicted with misgovernment, we can safely be
lieve that they do not deserve better fate"
The Bozeman courier., 1926-03-19
BACKING HIS CONVICTIONS

A lawyer in New York City wrote his brother,
who is head of a New York state country bank,
urging that he discontinue the use Of govern
ment-printed envelopes. He said
'T know their convenience and doubtless they
are cheaper, but in these days when the various
classes of industry and business realize the nee
essity of fighting against the further encrOah-
rent of the government and of the state into
business, it is rather inconsistent for bank, or
any other business, to encourage government
competition with its own citizens.
$50 far as the envelopes are concerned, the
government is in the business tax free; and if It
can manufacture, sell, and distribute envelopes
in competition with private enterprise, which
must pay the taxes to maintain the government
there is no good reason why it should not invade
other fields of business Each industrial function
taken over in the name Of the government adds
an increased tax burden on the private citizen and
property owner.
'T believe that when the present supply 0.
government envelopes is exhausted, we shoulC
purchase our envelopes from a private printel
who pays taxes to maintain our government, evel
If it makes us lick our own stamps and cause
us to pay little more for the printing. Thinl
it over"
