THREE BANDITS FAIL
TO ESCAPE DEATH


 Governor Fuller of Massachusetts had a painful decision to make in connection with the three carbarn bandits who murdered a watch man in Waltham and were caught, convicted and sentenced to be exc cuted.
 As Governor Smith of New York said some time ago, placing the re- sponsibility of committing a death sentence upon governor inlicts the most painful and disagreeable of tasks in connection with the of flee.
 The problem confronting the Massachusetts governor was particu- larly onerous in view of the fact that two of the bandits did not participate in the killing, merely being engaged in the robbery when the third fired the fatal shot.
 But the law is plain and of long standing in Massachusetts - those who are engaged in a robbery while murder is committed are all equal ly guilty of the murder.
 The governor and good many citizens of the Bay state can well doubt the justice of the law.
 But it is not the governors busi- ness to place his personal opinion above the law.
 He didn't. He could find no req sonable errors. Also counsel de- tended the prisoners; there was a fair trial and a jury of unusual in- telligence. The state supreme court, when appealed to, could find no flaws in the verdict or the method of arriving at it.
 But in spite of all this, the gov- ernor was expected by numerous petitioners to override judge, jury and supreme court
 Irrespective of the seemingly ar chaic principle of equal responsi- bility. the governor could do no less than to wash his hands of the matter.
 The injustice of expecting chief executive to spare lives con- demned by law under such clear cut circumstances of guilt under the law. is apparent.
 It is the duty of governors to en- force the law, not set it aside.
 To the families of the three young men it is a terrible tragedy. They are we'll connected. have powerful legion of friends, and the public of the state at least that part heard from seems inclined to be in merciful mood.
 The day they read about the shocking and -blooded murder, however, the mood of the public was not so merciful. At that time the instinct for revenge was upper most.
 The mistake the three young men made was to start out upon the marauding expedition. The three went forth armed. intended to rob and kill, and had an automobile handy for a quick getaway.
 There can be no doubt they as- stunned equal responsibility when they started out, and none knew to whom would fall the lot of firing q fatal shot.
 Now the friends of the two who didn't fire claim they are entitled to receive less blame than the other; while friends of the actual slayer put forth the claim he was irresponsible, which psy- experts denied after thorough examination.
 The whole case has the usual aarmarks of an attempt to avoid 
 And to the helpless governor , was given the thankless task of | a final decision.

The disbanding Of the Grand Avenue Baptist church in New Ha- ven the other day no doubt added to the feeling of insecurity.
 The New Haven church case may not be typical, but 1t will be re- garded as symptomatic.
 Here was a church having PTS members - not large congrega- ton, but suS1ciency to keep the edifice in repair and pay the par sons salary on time if all members took a vital interest in their re- ligious duties.
 Once upon a time they took such a vital interest, for the church kept going for 55 years. But in re- cent years the attendance had dwindled to an average of 25 per- sons each Sunday.
 It is a pretty hard task for a minister of the gospel to put effort into his work with only 25 persons in front of him on Sunday morn ing.
 It appears that the other 260 members spent their Sundays in automobiles, and some played golf. With this distressing situation to face, the congregation decided to disband.

 Radio competition will be a good thing for the churches if it com pels such effort.

Yet there is a silver lining to the cloud.
 There is difference between listening in" on a church service and being present at one. The one method is a hostage to curiosity, the other an expression of religious emotions and duty.
 The very fact that it requires practically no effort to hear a church service over the air detracts from it's value as a religious ex- perience.
 A church service over the radio comes under the category of en- tertainment; a fitting Sunday pro gram to fill in the hiatus between jazz programs.
 Church programs over the radio can be uplifting; whether they in- still the urge for religion into hearers is doubtful. They are syn thetic, not compelling.

COUNTY GETS
S7,967.S5 CHECK FOR
AUTO LICENSES
Number Of Cars IN Montana Has
Increased 11,709 Over 1925 Rec
Ords Show.

County Treasurer Eng Tor
stensOn has received a check of
S7,963.S5 from the State Treas
urer in payment of Sheridan
COunty's share of the auto IL
cense tax up to April LIST, 1926.
This check is for the three months
ending on the date named.
A total of S5S7, 800 was col
lected for automobile licenses
during the first three months of
the year, and of this sum more
than 100000 was received after
January 10.
Under tho motor vehicle license
law the fees are returned to the
county from which they received
with the exception of a small
charge for administration. The
funds will, in the future, under
recent rulings, be distributed
monthly instead of quarterly as
previously. This earlier distri-
button, il is believed, will result
in the various counties being able
better to carry on highway Oper-
atoms.
During the first three months
of the year, there were $500
passenger automobiles and trucks
registered. 11,709 more than in
1925. Indications are, according
to the county treasurer, that
Sheridan county will receive con-
siderable more this year from IL
cense fees than in previous years.
The fees are credited to the road
fund but only such portion as is
specified in the budget will be
used during the fiscal year. The
surplus will be retained for the
next budget, it was stated.

They faunt the lease they got from
the commissioners in the faces of the

Mckee is, however, a little worried
that some taxpayer would start a

that no notice was given to the public
that the place was for rent thereby
giving each taxpayer an equal Oppor-

also worrying some commissioners
who may be held personally liable.

there has been scarcely any sale of
tractors for the past ten years in this
district power machinery has become
very popular here Of late. Every day
tractors are being unloaded at the
Plentywood Depot and their cracking
noise is being heard in the city all
day. One day a vacant lot is cover
ed with these machines; the next
! they have disappeared. They are
out on the farms. In many cases
the first payment is being made by
+ horses and the remainder awaits a
crop this fall. The medium-sized

Practically all counties in northeast

Farmers throughout the entire Mis-

grain, according to a report by o. w.

Throughout most of the slope the

the mild winter and lack of snow

dictate that the ground is not too hard
to work.
