SAYS SEVEN TO IN

"Taking the country as a
whole. there is no sentiment lead
ING to the belief that either the
eighteenth amendment or the dry
law is in danger of repeal, and
anv attempt to repeal the law
would be defeated by a vote of
at least seven to one" is the
opinion of Senator Thomas j.
Walsh of Montana.
81 am told there are sixty mem
bers of the house in favor of modl-
fcat.on of the dry law" Walsh
declared. "That number is less
than one-seventh of the 446 seats
in the house. The majority would
be equally overwhelming in the
senate"
Coming at a time when there
is so much jangle and debate over
the wet and dry issue, the sober
opinion of a man like Senator
Walsh who knows Congress and
keeps his finger tips on public
sentiment is refreshing.

OUTSIDE MONTANA

The ideal to which we should
strive is that there should be no
child in America that has not been
born under proper conditions, that
does not live in hygienic surround
ings. that ever suffers from NAL
nutrition, that does not have
prompt and efficient medical in
speotion, and attention, and that
does not receive primary i%nstruc-
lions in the elements of hygiene
and good health
montana, which has always had
the welfare of her children at
heart, will celebrate in every coun-
ty this year in a fitting manner.
In the conservation of her chill
dren this state has been a leader
in many fields. We r fortunate
in having had established for some
years. through the wisdom of our
LEGISLATORS, adequate government
facilities for the care of our chill
dren. These state agencies will
need expansion as the number OF
children increases, but the funda-
mental machinery is already there.
Montana is also fortunate in its
voluntary organizations which are
d~evoting so much of their time
aud effort TO the welfare of chill
dren. The opportunities for chill
dren in this state are unsurpassed,
Ol4r educational system is of the
hest. our care Of dependents, de-
.fe~ctives and delinquents compares
.favorably with other states Of like
Inopula+ion. and our health haz-
ards for children 7 as little as
ian be expected considering the
GREAT distances and the lack OF
concentrated centers OF popula-
ton in the state.
GAS one of the great detectives
of Nav Day, it is my sincere WISH
I+bat communities will undertake
Itbe measures necessary to make
themselves fit to give the child
everything that should be his BY,
right of birth. A well rounded
program which has as its central
objective the proper care OF the
health and morals of the youtn
Of the community will make that
community offer an ideal home
for any family.
"With these thoughts in mind
at the approach of u Children's
Dav, | wish to urge all agencies
both public and private, to unite
in making a fitting celebration
for this day, and that each com
munity will undertake the meas
ures necessary to promote IN the
HIGHEST sense, the health, happi-
ness and preservation of the
greatest of our nations assets

Henry Fromby of Poplar was
released on $1,000 bail in justice
court Wednesday morning, pend
ing a hearing in district court tc
answer liquor charges. His Odds
mobile sport touring car, in which
officers claim to have found two
cases of Canadian beer, has been
confiscated by federal authorities.
and it is understood that charges
of smuggling will be brought
against him in federal court.

evening by immigration Patrol
man Koch, assisted by Deputy
Gregory of the sheriff's office and
Constable Baynham, shortly at
ter his arrival here from Ophelm'
R. D. Cooper, arrested with him,
was released Wednesday morning,
after having satisfied officers that
he had only been a passenger with
Fromby from Opheim.
Arriving in town, Fromby drove
to the Lee Motor company garage
and parked his car alongside the
car of Patrolman Koch, who, not
ing the absence of a license sus-
pected the car of being of Cana
dian origin and a possible carrier
of contraband. His investigation
revealed the liquor in the rear
seat. Koch Immediately notified
the sheriff's office and constable
and the arrests followed.
Participation of Patrodman
Koch in the arrest, marks the first
action in Valley county under or
ders of the department of justice,
issued April /. by which immigra-
ton patrolmen are authorized to
make arrests for violation OF any
federal law, including smuggling
and liquor running.-Glasgow
