MUNICIPAL DRY
CONTROL INTACT
PROHIBITION REPEAL DOES
NOT AFFECT NUISANCE
ORDINANCES

Despite the repeal of the state
liquor laws by vote of the people
at the recent election, cities and
towns still have the authority to
enact and enforce ordinances
making the sale of liquor within
their boundaries nuisance and
providing penalties therefore. ac-
cording to Attorney General l..
A. Foot.
The opinion is expressed by
the attorney general in reply to
an inquiry by police judge at
Bozemsn, which reply reads as
follows:
81 have your letter of Novem-
Der inquiring whether cities and
towns still have power since the
adoption of initiative measure
No. 30, to enact ordinances
msking traffic in Intoxicating
liouor a nuisance, and providing
for the punishment thereof.
''The adoption by the people of
Montana of initiative measure
No. 80 does not. in my opinion,
in any way the power of
cities and towns with respect to
the control of the liquor traffic.
Municipalities still possess what
ever powers have been granted
to them by the legislature with
regard to the regulation of the
liquor traffic, and there is moth
ing in initiative measure No. go
which limits or curtails those
powers.
"Subdivision 25 of section 5039,
revised codes of Montana, 1921,
to which you refer in your letter,
authorizes city and town councils
to pass ordinances to prevent
and punish intoxic&ition, fights,
riots, loud noises, disorderly CON
duct, obscenity, OF acts or conduct
calculated to disturb the public
oeace, or which are offensive to
public morals within the city or
town, and within three miles of
the limits thereof

CLUB MEN HEAR
BRIDGE REPORT.

The directors of the Commercial
club met Monday afternoon with
good attendance. The chief
purpose was to hear the report
of their delegates, Young and
Moore, who had made several trips
in the interest Of the highway and
bridge program, including attend
ance at a session of the state high
way commission.
w. L. Young told of the very
encouraging progress that had
been made. He said that all three
of the members 'cf the state high
way commission, after consider
ing all the facts and listening to
the arguments were thoroughly
sold on the merits of the demand
of Wolf Point and the surrounding
district for a bridge over the Mis-
souri,. Henry Good, chairman of
the Commission, who visited four
or five counties in this corner of
the state and went over the pro-
posed route all the way from the
Canadian line to Circle, told the
commission that there was a press
ing need of north and south
highway and a bridge over the
river.
Thomas Horslford, chairman of
the McCone county board of COM
missioners, joined the Wolf Point
men at Helena and, speaking for
McCone county, put up strong
argument in favor of federal
bridge.
From Border South
The state commissioners took
the view that the federal bureau
of roads was more likely to be. jim
terested in an international high
way than in a local highway.
Since the Canadians have built a
highway to the international line
north of Scobey and are waiting
for Montanans to build on this
side, they thought that it would
be better to ask for federal high
way to be designated from the
c. madam line to the Missouri
river, including bridge across
that stream. The Roosevelt and
McCone county delegates toldl
them that such program would be-
gladly accepted since the bridge
was the all-importsnt need. The
federal bureau engineers who We're
to be present were de-
but will be present at
the commission will hold !
n December, when representa-
ives Of the commercial club will
also attend and it is hoped the
natter can be brought to def
1ite decision.
Bridge Stands First
To say the very least, excellent
progress has been made on the
bridge and highway program and
he proposition stands at the head
If a long list for first considera-
ion by the highway commission.
After election the commission was
oesieged with a flood Of petitions
asking for highway work, exten-
ions, etc. The Wolf Point

Hayes began his talk by saying that a
curious phase of the navy question in
our country is the fact that very few
people, even the most extreme parti-
san for or against navy, large Or
small, have ever studied it as prob
lem and endeaVored to arrive at cor
rect conclusion. There is a place for
the navy and Its activities that should
command our most earnest study and
interest. The brilliant achievements
of our navy during the history of our
country have clearly demonstrated its
place and importance. Naval power
is the natural defense of the United
States, in the opinion of the speaker.
A navy well organized must constitute
the natural and efficient defense of
this country against all foreign hos
tility.
Speaking under the topic of the navy
in time of peace, Chaplain Hayes de-
clared that the greatest work OF our
navy is not accomplished i'll war. Its
most spectacular events have been for
ever enshrined in the memories of our
people, hut its great and enduring
works are carried on largely out of the
public gaze during the quiet hours of
peace Here he went on to cite various
=
States where the navy had accom-
plished a great deal for commerce,
science and labor In regard to the
navy as a humanitarian orga nization,
he said that in the mind of the aver
age person the word navy" connotes
war, and it's chief mission is destruc-
ton, when, as a matter of fact, it is
really constructive. Wherever it goes
it betters local conditions. establishes
schools and improves public health. He
referred to the work done at Panama,
the Virgin Islands, Samoa and Guam.
1t matters little whence the call comes
for aid-it may be a Chinese coolie,
and his junk afire at sea, stranded
ship of q foreign nation, a group of
refugees, or the people Feeling from
burning Smyrna-wherever or what
ever 1t may be, United States naval
officers and men are not only ordered
to the rescue, but are trained to help
and salvage on any need. In speaking
of education, Chaplain Hayes said that
in all the contacts made in foreign
countries, the navy teaches by pre-
cept and example American ideals as
no other government organization.
This interest in education is not only
for those who come in direct contact
with the navy or for the navy person.
mel itself. 1t has a great school work
within it's own ranks. Every trade and
profession gets direction and aid as
the men are interested. This great
army of young men go back into the
homeland from the service better
equipped for life and 1ife's service aft
err they have been trained in the navy.
It's effect on it's own personnel, a
group of 10000 men, and its contacts
with thousands throughout the world,

OF the value Of mass athletics DIR.
Emerson says:
Here the psychology Of the crowd
comes into play. Many students who
would otherwise hesitate to enter
competition extend themselves into
groups of eight or ten. Mass athle-
tics. gets students who would other
wise not enter athletics, knowing
they would not excel. to get the
exercise they need to defeat the
evils of the study chair. No exercise
merely for sake of exercise is per-
mitted. Every student does his pre-
scribed stunts for the sake of his
individual needs"

lead the casual observer to note that
the navy saves more lives. and saves
them for service, than IL has ever hurt
or killed.
An adequate Navy is necessary in
order that we may exert our influence
effectively for the general good; Sc
cure and maintain our national poll
cies; protect our own interests; in
sure our future prosperity; and
maintain our security as q nation.
Our foreign policy is as strong as our
Navy and no stronger. A nation with
little physical power hasa sman
weight In the councils Of nation, and
is given little consideration. even in
regard to her own rights, and cali
certainly exert no influence for the
rights of others. The United States in
particular needs an adequate Naval
Force in all it's capacities because of
it's geographical location and Its po-
sition achieved as a World Power. To
secure and maintain this position as
a sovereign power, to ward OFF any
act of aggression from another nation
or nations, to support and secure the
Monroe Doctrine, to keep our pledges
to nations like China and Russia, TO
keep open the lines OF communica-
IlOn LOT II0 pIOlCClloii VI WI +~OfNA
merce, and to maintain and secure
our policies. and the rights Of our
citizens in any country where they
may be ieopardized are the funda-
mental reasons for the United states
to build and maintain an adequate
Navy. Anything less, either in size,
or without adequate support for 'ts
maintenance, either in, material OF
personnel is worse than none at all.
Rev. Mr.. Hayes gave the following
fixed points of the Naval pohcy
which as far as the treaty for the
limitation of naval ornaments goes
is part of the supreme law OF tne

are exchanged: /, The admlssapie
