Warner Brothers are essentially

Wanted: Editorial Opinions

A most interesting and enlightening editorial dis
%cUssion, in the last issue of the Publishers Auxiliary,
touching on the ethics and p~ropriety Of certain
phases of capitalization and abbreviation, call at
tention to the dearth Of friendly, chatty, editorial
interchange of ideas and opinions by the rural week
lies. Few Of us seem to be as interested in our own
profession as in almost anything else within the
scope of human activities. The editor of this paper
c%onfesses to being Just as guilty as any Of the rest
of the gang and admits to reading the sport page
ahead of the editorial in his favorite dailies.
Far, far from posing as an authority on the ethics
and technique of journalism, we still have a few
opinions. For instance, while leaning strongly to
the "hold down" school in capitalization, we do like
to see the seasons capitalized. Spring, Summer,
Autumn, Winter, written that way mean more, sug-
gest more and contribute to the ready Interpretation
of the text in which the words are used. Is there not
just as much reason and purpose in capitalizing them
as Friday, March or Thanksgiving?
And then there is that standing joke, Mr.. Every
once in ? while Mr.. William So and So gets into
the news columns where only paragraph further on
IS met plain Bill Jones. Why this apparent defer
ence to one and not the other? We are still look
ing for somebody to give one sound reason for Mr.,
except when necessary as a sex designation or re-
quired to make the text clear in meaning or smooth
in construction. The dictionary says Mister is a
form of title. Well, by heck, this country is too busy
to type titles. Our people defer to men, not formali-
ties. Most of us are ready to accept Bill Jones as a
man. But we would rather give Mr.. William Jones
the twice over than the okey.

Oranons On The Constitution

The system of contests in writing and delivering
%orations by high school students of the United
States, sponsored and financed by the Great Falls
Tribune and So other leading daily papers of the
country, is an enterprise that undoubtedly will be
welcomed and encouraged by thinking citizens all
over the state. This is the first year Montana has
been included in the broad plan of these contests
which progress from local schools to state, district,
national and international competitions. The credit
for giving Montana students equal opportunities
with the students of other states is due eastern Mon
tana's great daily. The plan of the contests in Mon
tana is outlined in another place in this issue.
Boys and girls who compete will have a choice of
two subjects, both dealing with the constitution of
the United States. To deal with them intelligently
will call for thorough research, careful reading and
original thinking. The benefits derived by contest
ants will not be measured by the rank won. Except
in honors, losers may gain as much by the experience
as winners. The hundreds of contests among county
groups, such as will be held in this city on March 80,
will exercise a strong influence toward drawing not
only students but parents and school patrons back
toward the solid fundamentals of politics and pat
riotism that gripped public interest in the days of
Jefferson, Hamilton, Webster, Lincoln, and as late
as the times of Cleveland and Roosevelt. To digest
instead of testing about the constitution will lead to
better knowledge Of and more respect for the great
that is the foundation of our govern
ment.

news that the Ambassadors
daughter, Setsu, has been chosen
as his bride.
Probably they conceal the facts.
The statement is that Setsu was
chosen for Chichibu by the mother
of the Prince, but more probably
the Prince had a hand in the Sc
lection, unless the mother is much
more democratic than would be
supposed. Setsu's father, though
high in the esteem of the govern
ment, is not of the nobility, and
it is not customary that the
heaven-born may marry outside
its own circle. So Setsu must, be-
fore the nuptials, be first adopted
by a Prince of the land, or else
her father must be raised to the
peerage.
The young Japanese girl, des-
tined for high honors in her own
country, is being educated at a
private school in Washington. Her
future ~consort, the Prince, was
educated in Englard. Here again
one glimpses the possibility of the
Prince choosing from among his
people a mate whose training has
been parallel to his. Since the
announcement few changes have
been made in her routine, and her
greatest fear is that she will be
obliged to return to Japan before
her graduation in June.

Once every four or five years
the United States sends abroad
one of its most treasured posses,
sions. 1t is a bar of metal made
of platinum and iridium, weighing
less than two pounds, but worth
about $4,000 because of it's prec-
ious metal content.
But its value lies not in the
precious metal it contains. It's
worth is far beyond any monetary
value that could possibly be as
cribed to the most valuable of
ores. The ban is the standard
meter, the scientific unit of meas
urement by which is measured all
your clothing, your house, your
land, or any possession whose val
lie is computed in lateral figures.
The meter bar was fixed upon
years ago at an international CON
ference when the metric system
came into effect. At that time
n standard unit of measurement
was given to the United States, to
England, to France, Russia and
Germany, as well as other princi-
pal countries, by which all other
measuring instruments We're to be
measured. The meter assigned
to the United States is placed in
the custody Of the Bureau of
Standards, where it is carefully
guarded in a specially constructed
fireproof vault.
And while the utmost care is
exercised in it's use, it is consid-
cred prudent that the bar be taken
back to headquarters ever so of
ten for comparison with the stand
ards by which other nations also
measure their worldly goods. The
bar is carried by a special mes
senger, who must be a scientist of
standing. It is guarded as royalty
as a king. The scientist sleeps in
his stateroom on ship or train
the bar securely handcuffed
to his wrist. The bar itself is
first placed in a hardwood case,
felt lined. This case is put into a
steel tube, and the tube in turn
is carefully packed in a special
1t requires from nine to sen
months for it's accuracy to be
tested, at the end of which time
it is returned in a like manner.
The bar itself is too valuable
for indiscriminate measurements,
so a few copies for general use
are made at the bureau. The bar
IS 1897 inches in length.

coed beyond the White House and
the Congress. The President ap-
points the members of the SUI
preme court, and the officials OIL
the dry organization are extreme
ly anxious that the majority OF
that sedate body shall not be wet.

the next President may be called
upon to appoint three or more
members of the Court-many OF

preaching the age of retirement
and it is deemed of supreme i'm
portance that the appointing
power shall not rest in the hands
of a wet President.
But through it's highly organized
and efficient local organizations in
each city and community, the lea
que also will exercise its influence
over the selection of the candi-
dates for lesser Offices. In partic-
ular will it scrutinize the candi-
dates for sheriff and other law
enforcement officials, as well as
local judges, mayors and council
men of cities. All in all, the
league, with a large section of
popular sentiment behind it, will
be a power to be reckoned with
by the leaders of both parties in
1928.

Leavitt Recommends
Bourquin, Circuit Bench

Congressman Scott Leavitt has
introduced a bill providing for the
appointment of an additional cir
cult judge in the ninth judicial
circuit, headquarters for which are
at San Francisco. The purpose of
this bill is to continue the posi-
ton now held by Judge William
H. Hunt. Unless such a bill is
passed the place will lapse with
his retirement, which is expected
soon. Mr.. Leavitt has presented
President Coolidge and the De-
partment of Justice the outstand-
ing qualifications of United States
District Judge George M. Bour-
quin for the circuit court seat that
Judge Hunt is resigning because
of advanced age and i'll health.

The more or less unofficial can
didacy of Senator James A. Reed.
of Missouri, for the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency
brings to mind the stormy career
which he has enjoyed, both with
in his party and without.
Jim Reed, his friends concede,
is both literally and figuratively
from Missouri. On every issue, on
every question, he must be shown.
He seems, on casual glance, to
be against everything, but in real
ity he is generally conceded to be
a conservative against the some
times inpracticable ideas and the
theories of his associates.
Reeds candidacy for the nomi-
nation is taken seriously, both
within his own party and in the
opposition ranks. Next to AL
Smith of New York, he is the out
standing liberal when it comes to
interpretations of our constftu-
ton, and the rights of the individ-
ual. He can no, of course. be
both a liberal and a conservative
at the same time, but he is, If fig
Of speech may be mixed, a
conservative when it comes to In
trusions upon the rights OF 1nd1-
viduals and of states-wh1ch
makes him a liberal.
How far back he has come

his party and of the people as a
whole may be reckoned when 1t
is remembered that only so re-

vention he was virtually thrown

which Wilson, the last Democratic
occupant, fought to the end.
Reed has picked up in this Con-
gress where he left off in the
last. The last Congress featured
Jim Reed. Walsh of Montana a
away with the preceding Con-
gress, and Borah, the lone wolf of
Idaho, was the star of the earlier
Harding Congress. Whether Reed
has the opportunity, or the wish,
to dominate this Congress as he
did the last is still a problem,
but his prosecution of the election
fraud charges against Smith, of
Illinois, and Ware, of Pennsylvan-
ia, will furnish many opportuni-
ties for the limelight.
Washington is entertaining a
Crown Princess in disguise.
On second thought, the above
statement is hardly correct. She
is not yet a Crown Princess, she
most certainly is not in disguise,
and, since her school duties will
herdly permit, she is being little
entertained.
The young woman destined to
be the Crown Princess of Japan,
however, is Setsu Matsudaira, the
seventeen year old daughter of
the Ambassador from Japan, who

become the bride of Prince Chi
