Dummy was spread, and the de-
clarer, Mr.. Richards, sized up his
prospects. He saw only two pos

haps the queen Of hearts, in case
the trumps were uneyenly divided
against him. He hoped. however
for a small slam.
He could win the first trick in
either his own hand or Dummy's,
but inasmuch al there was d posi-.
bility that Mr.. Work might be blank
in diamonds and would ruff this first
trick, Mr.. Richards did not risk
losing Dummy's king. He played
the 2 OF diamonds from Dummy; Mr..
Work played, the 9; Declarer the ace.

 The order was issued, according to President McConoughys letter be cause the privilege of attending church downtown and signing slips Monday morning has been grossly abused by a large number of under graduates"
 The customary procedure was to get permission 10 attend some church in town and then sign a church attendance sip in the col lcga office on Monday morning. It was this privilege, that was being violated.
 Tn general" President Me Conoughy's letter says. the college believes that attendance at the chapel service is best; however, per mission to attend downtown has been granted to men who seem to have a real reason therefor.

 Hatch Opposes Raise For Towers.
 Chairman ". l.. Hatch of the board of water commissioners said the work of the department is al ways on the increase and undoubt- edly the office force must be aug mented. Relative to the petition of Superintendent James II Towers for an increase in salary from $3,- 200 to S3.700, Nlr. Hatch said he be- lieVed Clerk Frank ].

SMITHS BOOM IS
 FORMALLY OPENED
N. '. Democracy Offers Him as
 "SeCOnd Jefferson"

New York, Jan. [ dP - New York's democracy has formally of fered Governor Alfred F. Smith to the country as president in 1928.
 The governors boom was launch ed last night by Senator Elect Robert F. Wagner at q dinner at the National Democratic club and was received with cheers and ap plause by the 1,500 persons present
 Mir. Wagner had declared the great issue of the next presidential campaign would be reconstruction of state rights and halting of the tearing down Of the barriers be- tween states.
 There is one man in the coun- try today who stands out as q de- fender of democracy in the same manner in which did Thomas lief fcrson and the other great figures of the past" he said. We of the state of New York offer 10 the service of the nation the service of this great courageous leader in the person of Alfred E. Smith"
 The governor was not present. He explained at his suite in the Fillmore that on his doctors orders he has refused all dinner invita- tions.
 Mayor James J. Walker echoed Judge Wagners endorsement of the governor as a presidential candi- date.
 If precodents mean anything" :" he said, If loyalty means any thing, if achievement in democratic administration means anything, the past accomplishments of which Judge Wagner has spoken are but the foreword 10 what will happen at the next presidential election.
 This city is willing to play its part and it is willing to give Is favorte son over to the country to head the national government
 The launching of the presidential boom by Judge Wagner and Mayor Walker was generally looked upon with surprise in view of the gov ernors statement in his inaugural address last Saturday that he would do nothing personally to further his nomination at the next democratic national convention.

POLICE, FIREMEN,

SpokSmen Appeal for Increase
 at Hearing on Salaries

Police Commissioners R. W. Chamberlain and NJ. W. Bannan praised the work of Chief w. c. Hart, Department Clerk William Buechner and Clerk of the Board Joseph A,McGrail. at the meeting of the salary committee Of the common council last evening and urged that the salaries of these officials be in creased. Chief Hart is efficient and courteous and should be encouraged, the commissioners said. Clerk Succhner is a competent man. whose work is important and well done, they said. Chief Hart added that the clerks request for an in- crease from S1650 to $500 per year was modest. The position and the in Cumbent are worth much more salary than is requested, he asserted.
 Patrolman George Collins explain cd the request for a clothing allow anco of $70 per year per man.

 Commissioner Chamberlain urged that the salary of Clerk McGrail be increased from S350 to $500. The position is worth it. and Mir. McGrail is deserving of it, he said. It was a wise move on the part Of the board 10 retain Mr. McGrail, as, he has proven his value on many occasions, and his familiarity with the depart ment work has been of great assist ance to the commissioners. Relative [ othe recommended increase in salary of the chairman of the board from $500 to $500, Commissioner Cham berlain said the board feels that the salary should be the same as that of the fire board.
 Supernumerary Officer Charles McGrath spoke in favor of an in- crease in the pay of the supernumer- ary policemen from s to s5.5o per day, and the commissioners supple mented his remarks. Commissioner Chamberlain emphasized the need for young, active men in the depart

HONOR INTERNATIONAL HERO

Europe continues to heap honors upon Captain
Charles A. Lindbergh, international hero, who
recently flew from New York to Paris in his air
plane, the Spirit of st. Louis" The Minnesota
young man bears his fame modestly, which
further endears him to the hearts of his country
men. ..n,e~ r
The federal government will not only cooperate
but lead in the planned demonstration in New
York City in honor of the aviator when he returns.
The metropolis already has announced that it
intends to stage the greatest Homecoming cere-
monies in its history. Anyone familiar with what
it has done in the last half century will realize
that for New York TO Guido its honoring of Grant
when he completed his round-the world voyage,
its outburst of enthusiasm over Admiral Dewey
when he came as the hero of Manila bay, its wild
demonstration when the 9th Division returned
from overseas, will be to accomplish something
that just now seems beyond comprehension.
st. Louis and Detroit are to have a large hand
in the ceremonies "down the bay and at New
York's city hall, and Wisconsin and Minnesota
are also to participate in a large way in the honor
ing of the intrepid flyer whose feat moved Presi-
dents Coolidge and Doumergue to cable felicita-
tions. Wisconsin's great university helped to
educate young Lindbergh and Minnesota was his
boyhood home.

HOME PRODUCTS

The president has received a request from Con-
gresham Connolly of Pennsylvania to issue an
executive order to all departments OF the govern
ment to indicate a preference for domestic goods
when they ask for bids for federal supplies. AS
a general rule of law the heads of executive de-
partments and bureaus are obliged to accept the
lowest bids, and Representative Connolly has
raised a point that is fundamental to conditions
Of trade. In the long run, it is pointed out, it
pays to p~atronize those who help pay taxes, and
help to maintain American traditions.
Exactly the same principle applies with regard
to buying goods at home," and the duty and
commonsense of patronizing local merchants. A
little agitation of this question from the top, as
it applies to government purchases, may prove
helpful to the country and possibly check the mad
rush to the mail order houses and dealers in the
large centers who draw away the business that
belongs to local merchants. Buying at home is
one of the keys to collective prosperity.

responsibility for accidents that occur is not only
suggesting the imposition of an unjust burden
but create a psychological condition that tends
to defeat the very object of traffic regulation.
If in Bozeman we are somewhat afflicted with
the careless driver, we are likewise afflicted with
the jaywalker and the person who crosses streets
at other points than intersections. Our observa-
ton has convinced us that often pedestrians are
as careless, or more so, than car drivers. Some
wander across the avenues in an aimless, happy
go-lucky manner, gawking about with an abandon
that would indicate they had forgotten there
is such a thing as traffic. Others dodge
out from between parked cars most unexpectedly.
a habit that is intensely shattering to both the
nervous systems of drivers and the brakes of
their cars. Would it be either common sense or
justice to hold the autoist solely responsible if
one of these irresponsibles were hit?
There appears to be but one solution. Both
driver and pedestrian must not only observe the
rules and regulations laid down to promote public
safety, but they must go further-they must use
every precaution humanity possible to protect
themselves and others. Only by such whole
hearted cooperation can the great toll taken by
street and highway accidents be cut to a minimum.
Equal watchfulness and equal responsibility for
both driver and pedestrian is the only fair and
common sense way of dealing with the problem.
And he who fails to do his duty must bear the
blame.
If, as our contemporary asserts, drivers should
be held responsible for all injuries to pedes-
trians," we might have an epidemic of cases like
that suggested by the following letter, said to
have been received by a lawyer:
my boy got struck by an automobile, No
48726B. If the owner is rich, sue him at once
The boy wasn't bruised any, but upon your notify.
ing me that you have brought suit, I will hit hin
in two or three places with a hammer"

Dental candidacy as a feeler has now
got to the point where the nominal
ton of Smith is being made a pri-
mary plank in the Tammany plat
form. Now comes the suggestion
that the time is ripe for expanding
the Tammany group in New York
into a greet national body with the
Tiger as a political factor through
out the country. So steel engraved
portraits of Tweed. Murphy, Croker
and Olvany can adorn the lodge rooms
in the Middle Western states.
1t is true that Chief Olvany, find
ing the reaction to this thought most
unfortunate, tried to Withdraw it, but
it cannot be denied that it was in
the original program. Tammany is
now pledged to a program of "Al
Smith OF nobody" In no other way
can the official Tammany replacement
over the report that William G. Nc
Adoo is no longer in the race be con-
strued. Once again, it seems as if
the Tammany chiefs had miscued.
McAdoo until the introduction of
John W. Davis led all in the race for
the nomination at Madison Square
Garden. 1t would seem poor tactics
accordingly that his opponents Should
take upon themselves the making of
the announcement of his retirement.
