PRESERVATION OF
CONSTITUTION HIS
PARAMOUNT DUTY

Men are sometimes impelled by
temporary and transient causes to
look with favor upon suggestions Of
basic change. Lincoln was not SO
easily swept from his main purpose.
He hated slavery, but every atom Of
his being was -cOnsecrated to the
preservation of the Constitution and
the Union. He wrote to the work
ingmen Of Manchester, zone duty,
paramount to all others, was before
me, namely, to maintain and preserve
1T once the Constitution. and the in
tegrity Of the Federal Republic" Re
call his famous letter to Horace
Greeley. Il would save the Union
If I could save the Union,
without freeing any slave l would
do it, and if I could save it by free
ing all of the slaves, I would do it
and If I could save it by freeing
some and leaving others alone, J
would also do that"

REAL GREATNESS
OF 'ABE' LINCOLN
BEYOND Legend
History VIII Know Him as
Kindly, Patient, Wise, Fore
seeing, Man"-LOwen

Perhaps the one thing to fear for
LlncOln's greatness is the growth of
legend about it. There is no doubt
there is such an incrustation forming
upon his fame, and if that process is
active so sOOn after his death, what
must be its progress in the centuries
to come? What must his real great
ness suffer from it? Not In the inter
est Of history alone, but in that of
the name and fame Of one Of the
greatest and wiseSs SS Americans, it
ought to be the concern Of those who
r almost his contemporaries to ar
rest this growth, to remove it so far
as it has already Obscured the genu-
inc and solid substance beneath and to
insist that the qualities that made
Abraham Lincoln what he was are suf-
icient to preserve him, as Edwin NJ.
Stanton said, for the ages.
The reason why LincOln's greatness
lends itself to legend are plain enough.
AS a national figure he flashed upon
the rapidly turning pages Of history
for but a moment, and was gone be.
fore his cOuntrymen came to know
him. His entire career, it may be
said, covered only four years, some
thing perhaps unprecedented in the
annals Of the great. Before he be
came President he was a country law
yer, almost unknown outside Of Hi
nOis. In an instant he burst upon The
national horizon like a meteor, light
ing up the whole sky, and while thu
eyes Of millions were yet upon hin
trying to make out this sudden pOr
tent, he vanished leaving his country
men and the world with a, question
unanswered. The attempts to an
sMer it have had a natural result: tn,

THIRTEEN-MONTH
CALENDAR TO Be
DISCUSSED soon

Fresh stimulus has recently been
given to the reform of the calendar
by the action Of the committee Of in
quiry of the League of Nations in
calling representatives Of the Ro-
man, Greek, and other orthodox
churches of the East, the Anglican
church of Great Britain, and about
100 Protestant churches to discuss the
advisability of making Easter a fixed
instead of a movable date, dependent
On the full NOON. The first or sec
Ond Sunday in April has been sug-
gested.
Further sessions of the committee
of inquiry are to be held soon to make
definite recommendations to the
League of Nations regarding plans
for calendar reform. Enthusiastic
support has been given in many quar-
ters to the plan that would divide the
year into thirteen 28-day months,
with an extra day at the end of the
last week in December. Every four
years a leap day would be inserted at
the end of June. The change, it is
said, could be made easily on Janu-
airy 1, 1928, as that viii be Sunday.
Prof. C. F. Marvin, chief of the
weather bureau Of the United States
department Of agriculture, indorses
the 13-mOnth year because it would
greatly simplify meteorological and
other scientific records. He points
out also that there are innumerablC
advantages to economic, agricultural
civic, educational, and business inter.
ests IN having all months and quar-.
tiers exactly alike, and the numbered
days Of each month always falling OF
tho same day Of the week. Many diff
ficulties now existing in compiling sc
curate comparative statistics, in &C
counting, banking, or computing in
terest would be done wsT with.
An interesting fact in connection
With the proposed calendar is that
harmOnizes in many respects with I'll
plan Of the old calendar used by tn
~Israelites.

BEATITUDE
By EDMUND VANCE o

''Malice toward none and charity
for ALT"
SOnorously tho accents rise and fall
And echo down the half-forgOtten
Past
And yet shall echo while the ages
last.
"Mllice toward mono and charity
for ALL"
The words are still a challenge and
a call
Unto a wounded world, whose
dropping heart
Asks a fresh faith to soOthe its bitter
Simple, symmetrical, serene, sub
lime,
These words shine deathless on the
dial of Time,
Chaste as a statue in a Crecian hall
"Malice toward none and charity

Unto a laboring Earth and all her
brood,
His great soul gave this new Beati-
tude,
And still today he whispers through
the pail,

HOW INACCURACY
OF WEIGHTS ROBS
BUYER OR SELLER
Few People Realize Importance
of Scale Inspectors Duties,
Says Expert

Much has been said on weights and
measures rom L. S. government Of
ficials down to the seaier in the field,
so there is nothing new, and yet
very few people realize how greatly
the accuracy CT i~naccuracy of weigh
ing and measuring devices affects all
who buy or sell. Perhaps few sub
jectS are of greater economic import
ance than that Of weights and meas
ures, inspection and the proper main
tenance Of weighing and measuring
apparatus. We have only 20 examine
a little way back into the reports of
various Investigations carried On by
city, state and federal governments to
understand the need Of better main
tenance OF scales.
Ancient Practice
The practice of fraudulent weigh
ing and measuring operations is re-
corded in ancient history. Moses
recognized such practice and several
times referred to it in the law. In
Leviticus we have laid down IN the
law that aye shall do no unrighteous-
ness in judgment, in meter yard, IN
weight OF in measure, just balance,
just weights, a just ephah and q just
hin shall we have" King Solomon
in his wisdom knew the folly Of
fraudulent dealing, for in Proverbs,
Chapter X, fist verse, he says: "a
false balance is an abOminatiOn to
the Lord, hut a just weight is his de-
light A false balance is no less an
abomination new then it was in the
days of Solomon. An inaccurate
weight is like a thief in the night,
stealing either from or for its mas
ter. It's use tends to undermine busi-
ness ethics, leads to unfair cOmpetl-
ton and often resUlts,in bankruptcy.
President WashingtOn's words to con-
gress. January, 179O-"UnifOrmity In
currency, in weights and in measures
of the United States is an object OF
great Importance, and will, I am per-
shaded, be duly attended to-" Thomas
Jefferson was secretary Of state at
that time and assisted in this first
plan for betterment of weights and
measures. John Quincy Adams USED
his influence for betterment along
this line in 1921. Albert Gallatin
minister cf the United States at Lon
don, procured some standard weights
from Great Britain and sent them t.
the United States by special mes
sanger in 1927. In May, 1880, w,

FINANCIAL DEAL
OF IMPORTANCE
EFFECTED HERE
National Bank of GalIatin Valley
Absorbed by Three Strong
Institutions

banking institutions in BOzeman
were reduced to three in number last
Friday morning when property and
assets of the National Bank Of Gal
latin Valley were taken over by the
Commercial National, the GaIlatin
Trust and Savings, and the Security
Bank and Trust company, acting
jointly. All deposit accounts and 9th
er liabilities Of the absorbed firm
were also assumed by its purchasers.
Reasons for Transfer.
The reasons assigned for the trans
fer were, principally, the desire of
Roy E. Martin, representative of the
Martin estate and principal stock
holder of the National Bank Of Gal
latin Valley, to retire from the bank
ing business and devote his time to
other affairs, and the obvious advan-
tage of lessening the number of bank
ing institutions in Bozeman. The
transfer was effected without any
inconvenience to customers and pat
rOns Of the Martin bank, all time and
checking deposits being shifted to the
other banks during the week.
By taking over the National Of
Gallatin, the Commercial, the Gala
tin Trust, and the Security Bank and
Trust, always strong and solid instj-
tutiOns, have bettered their positions
and expanded their business in keep
ing with the progress Cf Bozeman and
