the too early breeding OF young stock
which results in stunted animals. He
advised a careful scrutiny Of markets be-

Starr and DR.. w. H. Butler Of the state
livestock sanitary board.
In his address Mr.. Montgomery traced
present market conditions and market
demands, also emphasizing the general
trend of demand for the small
err and choicer cuts. The cattle outlook
appears most favorable from the pro-
ducers' standpoint, he said. and expressed
the opinion hat favorable prices would
continue for some time.
Mr.. Vaughan pointed out that Mon
tana's livestock industry which turns out
products valued at round $40, 000. 900
each year is a gigantic industry. on a par
with many Of the great industries OF the
country. Great commercial enterprises Of
this magnitude are in a position TO and
do spend great sums in research and in
vestigations for the discovery of more eff
icient and more economical methods.
The livestock industry, made up of q
great number Of separate units. must
depend upon state experiment stations
such as the II at Havre, to carry on its
research. He pointed out that every
stockman in the state has a vital interest
in the livestock work at the experimental
institutions.
In the weight judging contest con-
Quoted as a part of the livestock day

Politics and Prohibition.
(Boston News Bureau )


 Once there was a resonant agitation to take the tariff cut of politics" (That before the party still protesting "tarff reform in the ab- stract became crowded with local protectionists in the eoncrete) Today the slogan should per haps be amended to take prohibition out of politics.
 It would be a grand and glorious relief to political helmsmen and patform-builders of all party faiths to obtain such devoutly wished consummation. Ever since the amendment and the interpretatve enforcing act were mortised into the Constitution and the statue book it has been plague to beth parties to say something satisfactory, yet incffensive. It usually meant generalities about enforcement of all law that were as meaningless they glittering. Laws are in essense supposedly meant to be enforced; why talk about it?
 Save, perhaps such stray statutes as happen to seem destined clearly for eventual repeal seem to court the sort of general ignoring that betrays a clear lack of social conscience in their would agree that prohibition in any such class-like old blue laws like sttutional amendments which quietly forgot ten about in places.
 For 1928 there is to be recorded a notable advance in courage and in candor. It began at Kansas City with the Borah doctrine triumphing over the Butler. The great achievement was to bemome finally specific; to dare to whisper the word prohibition and to mention amendment and act. Although everyone in the country, of reasoning if not yet of voting age, knew that prohibition was meant in those earlier ringing but idle words about law enforcement.
 Now the scene has shifted to Houston--that same arid region where other constitutional amendments not too deeply studied. With Smith apparently the nominee the early spotlight goes to prohibition. Out of the clash of strong opinions three camps to have emerged,-the extremists either wrnging "wet' or aridly and bitterly dry" and in between them the middle-of-the-road element reported to have reached satisfactory agreement with Smith spokesmen.
 It would have been indeed huge political joke were the New York Governor to have been named on platform wholly suitable to the "dry' fanatics. But the prospect rather is that once again a positive word will be spoken for len forcing" whatever the law calls for concerning prohibition. Yet that does not exclude indi- vidul belief that perhaps a better law could | later be enacted
 Il It has been calmly argued by some folks that matters like prohibition hardly belong in the constitution and statute Have parties and their conventions, so much less calm, been indirectly lproying that theorem?

THE INTERNATIONAL ALASKA CRUISE
 CLUB.
CLUE.

There is real cause for qualification in the organization of the International Alaskan crulse Club it's charter members being those sportsmen who participated in the first and most highly successful Capital to Capital Yacht Race from Olympia Washington, to this port. It can do much to stimulate interest in this peer of all cruising grounds for small as well as larger yachts As several of the eontesting captains pointed out at the banquet given in their honor
 it took as Dr Edward Rich phrased it, tubular organs back of the stomach walls'-and there IS a shorter and mere forceful phrase used in the vernacular-to set out over the course. It was not only a test of machinery and craft but of men as well. Upon those who meet all these requirements it is meet that same distinction of lasting nature be conferred. Certainly a membership certificate in such club as pro posed by Dr. Rieh and whose successful organi- zation has just been heralded, will be badge of such distinction It will be a coveted and precious possession to those who are fortunate enough to win it.
 It will be an all important factor in future races It is, in fact earnest of the in tention of these sportsmen to keep alive the Capital to Capital Race an annual event. It can and probably will, do more than any other single agency in enlistng a wide support from individual yachtsmen and yachting clubs. May it have a long and successful existence with ever-growing list of membership.

 Those who most familiar with his record as Governor of New York need no further pledge than that
 But he goes further into the Prohibition problem He plainly tells the country he is con- vinced there should be fundamental changes in present provisions for National Prohibition. He does not believe the Federal Government has any right 10 ask any State to enact statutes for the enforcement of Federal laws it has done with respect to Prohibition. Nor does he believe that the politicians, people of any State have the right to arbitrarily tell the people of any other commonwealth what they should do in the mat ter. But he does champion the right of the people of each State to deal with the subject of Prohibition they shall deem wise and proper so long they keep within the terms of the Constitution. It is the duty of the courts to decide whether statutes they may enact do or dc not violate it's terms
