HOUSE MAI WIN mutations TO the
President to attend a certain con-
Yentlon in their city. Their cor
respondence represents the larg-
est mail OF a single subject that
has come to the White House in re-
cent years, with the exception of
the spontaneous letters received
while the President had under ON
~sideration the farm relief bill, which
he vetoed.

Women in politics? Ask former
Governor Nellie Ross, of the SOW
ereign state of Wyoming. Mrs.
Ross, protestant "by birth, train
ing and deep conviction" grants
interviews expressing the hope that
she may live to see a Catholic in
the White House to prove, she
says, that this is in reality a re-
public in which we live. and not
one in name only"
Attending the meeting of the
Women's National Democratic
club. Mrs. Ross also expresses the
belief that the day is not too far
distant when a woman will be
chief executive of the nation.
The former governor of Wyom-
ing takes pains to say that her be-
lief that a Catholic ought some
day to sit in the White House does
not refer ''to any personality but
the thought obtrudes itself as to
whether she would accept the port
folio of secretary of the interior, for
instance, in Al Smiths cabinet, if
the New York governor were form
ing a cabinet.
What a gem in the diadem of
woman's achievement, and what
personal distinction-the first wo-
man cabinet member,
AS a matter of fact, it is reason
ably safe speculation to assume
that the first woman to occupy a
seat in the cabinet will be assigned
the portfolio of secretary of the in
terror.
A woman can not be secretary
of labor. She would hardly seek
the post of finance as secretary of
the treasury, nor yet head the for
eign service as secretary of state.
The attorney general in all pro-
liability will be a man for many
years to come. while the martial
honors that go with the secretary
ship of war and navy r hardly
likely to make an appeal to femi-
nine ambition. Many women are
good business executives. but big
business probably would prefer a
like Herbert Hoover for that
position.

MAY BASKETS

The Minneapolis Journal finds
room or its well filled and in
~tefesting editorial page for a de-
lig6tful bareback to the days
"wEen you and I were young,
Maggie" While May baskets,
We fear, do not hold the interest
of children as firmly or as gen
orally as in years gone by. still
the Journal is assured that there
is a place where May First is ca
gerly greeted and where baskets,
patiently ~cOntrived, and generous
ly filled, + hung, accompanied
by timid rapping, quick scamp
ering, a chase and oh. so many
giggles; and then the return visit.
True, northern prairies are not
so bedecl1ed as the meadows, or
the shady wood" the Journal man
calls to mind, but there are still
basque flowers to be found, tiny
yellow violets and numerous 9th
er yellow, white and blue flow
erlets, all with names some place
in that old botony in the attic.
Yes, Mr.. Journal man, we hope
that May baskets are still hung
in Minnesota, and know they
are in Montana. Why, only a few
nights ago supper was late be-
cause mother yielded to appeals
for help with the i%ntricacies of
May basket designing.
Just forget about television
long enough to study the beauty
of this old-time picture of May
days the Journal man sends out
over his typewriter:
rs there not somewhere a
place where May First is still
the day for children and May bas-
kets? In the crowded cities it is
a day for grown-ups. The mar
ching legions of labor call it
theirs. The harried renter who
follows the moving van with his
household goods and goes to a
new flat, where rent is lower or
janitors better or sunlight until
tered. thinks of May First as the
landlords day.
"Once upon a time in the land
of long ago, it was May basket

What is thought TO be a record In Mon

Coming upon the tracks OF three beasts,

Immediately set out on one of the ANIMAL
trails, sending out warnings to the pur-
sued one, at the top Of their lungs.
No sooner had the first one been treed
and the hunters arrived on the scene to
take the situation in hand than Leader

the tricks of the next victim. On the sec.

The three animals were bagged only 500
yards apart. and deer meat was found IL
each of their stomachs. The three lions
were skinned and the hides are being pre-
pared for shipment to government offices
Another incident of the trip of more
than passing interest was the witnessing
of an air attack upon a small fawn by {

for its conqueror.

Zone Prohibition Chief Declares IL
legal Importation Reduced Since
Canada Places Patrol North of the
international Boundary

Smuggling OF liquor and other goods
from Canada into the United States is
being made more difficult as a result of
cooperation between the customs depart
ments of the United States and the do
minion, according to John Il. Cooper Of
San Francisco, western zone supervisor
for the national prohibition department,
who visited Montana recently.
The attention of Mr.. Cooper was called
Monday to the fact that at the last federal
grand jury session In Great Falls more In
dictments were returned on smuggling
charges than any other crime. This is to
be expected, and an even greater number
OF smuggling cases may be brought before
the court at future sessions, he stated, be-
cause of the assistance received from Cana
dian officers.
1T has been only a short time" Mr..
Cooper stated, that Canadian officials have
realized that while liquor from the prov
inces was being Struggled into the United
States, a vast quantity OF American-made
goods were being taken into the dominion
In violation of Its custom laws. Additional
customs agents were placed on the Cana
dian side OF the international boundary
and our men are working in cooperation
with them. As a result we have been able
to obtain much information which has re.
suited In arrests of smugglers, and in turn
have assisted the Canadians in their anti.
smuggling activities"

sired to keep In touch with the activities
here. He promised Mr.. Jackson to return
to Montana for a longer visit after the
division headquarters have been returned
from Boise to Helena.
Mr.. Cooper, while directly connected with
the prohibition department under Gen
Lincoln c. Andrews, has duties which
necessitate his consultation with repre-
sentatives of various other branches Of thu
government. A part OF his work consists
