at the end Of the debate on the
farm debenture clause was tan
I mount to admitting its bad fea-
lures but actually g%lorying in
them. Senator Johnson conceded
that the farm bill with that amend
ment tackled on would put the
government into the business OF
agriculture. He did not deny the
charge that the aim was to give
certain favored farmers a direct
subsidy out of the United States
treasury. But what of it? Hadn't
they all been trying to do the
same thing for years? The pro-
tective tariff was a form of sub
sidy for special classes. Yet they
had all voted for it with grave
faces. He himself had done so,
and used at one time to talk in
noble language about "the Ameri-
can system" of raising wages for
our workingmen and diffusing gen
eral prosperity by means OF the
tax on imported goods. Now he
has come to perceive that the
whole thing was a sort Of con-
spiracy of false pretenses in which
he himself had Joined. He blush
ing said: 81 am culpable with
others, but at least l am different
from some others in admitting it.
and l can yet laugh, and that
saves me in this peculiar era"
Perhaps tie California senator
hoped in this way to shame some
other senators, or at least to pre-
vent them from uttering senti-
ments, of noble altruism in defense
of their support of the debenture
scheme. Senator Borah voted for
it. but apparently without explain
ing why. If he had spoken he
would have been certain to take
a high moral tone. But Senator
Johnson got the floor first and
seemed to take a wicked delight
in giving the whole game away.
His method of brushing aside the
charges of special legislation, self
interest, greed, looting the treas
ury and so on was to confess
everything, but then to turn to
his colleagues in the senate with
a sort of impudent grin, to ask
them whether they had not all
been engaging in precisely the
same kind of business for many
years. An honest answer to that
question, even if it were like cast
ing pearls before a cynic, would
be hard for most senators to
make.

ADVERTISING SIGNS To-,
GET OFF RIGHT WAY

The state highway commission
has issued orders that all adver-
Using signs must be removed
from the right of way of state
roads. This is in accordance with
a measure passed by the last
legislature. If these signs are
not removed by their owners, they
will be removed and destroyed by
employees of the highway depart
ment.
1t might be said in this connec-
ton that the rightof-way may be
understood to extend for sixty
feet on each side of the center
line of the road. In most cases
land owners along a highway are
permitted to use the land up to
80 feet from tie cen.5r u
highway, but the hishw=y
ment has jurisdiction ovsr 3
120 feet in width it is understood.

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS
(From the Livingston Enterprise)
A sad drama was enacted in
Miles City Thursday afternoon.
Following the funeral rites at an
undertaking chapel, the remains
Of Charles Beck, pioneer and re
spected ranch hand, were placed
in a grave, and a ~saddened brother
and sister walked away with a
small company of friends to con
sole them. Almost at the same
hour Judge S. d. McKinnon, sit
ting in Miles City, heard Bearna
Tex WEIGH admit firing a shot
from a Colt revolver that ended
the life Of the ~inoffensive man,
and sentenced Welsh, 81, to 40
years at hard labor in the state
pe~nitentiary.
The story is a short one. A
dance in the country. WEIGH,
habitual gun toter and selfstyled
bad a filed up with moonshine
whisky. Beck, the inoffensive,
did not dance, but had waited for
the party to close to obtain a ride
with accommodating Miles City
folks who we're to provide him
TRANSFORMATION to town, that he
might buy some clothing. AS he
walked out of the door to get into
the car. the Whiskey-crazed cow
boy, of nine years residence in
Montana, shot and shortly Beck,
who had harmed no one, lay life
less.
Urged to extenuate by the court,
alch could only say, 81 don't re-
j -mber."
1rty years for a 3O-year-old
, n is a long time to sit in soil
lie and review the final act OF
p useless existence. WEIGH, a
Dung man, allowed his own i'm
preston of the bad man ideal to
get the better of his judgment.
With this ideal before him, and
with an intellect robbed OF its rea-
soning power, the moro tendency
acted without consideration for
the right of life or liberty, and the
scene of Thursday, in the two acts
of this drama of life, closed the
story.
AS has been said before in this
column. a 4O-year sentence, since
the recent legislative session
means 40 years. Welch will be 81
when he is freed from his period
of servitude. Wardens at Deer
Lodge will come and go, but WEIGH
will still be there, and with him
the brothers from Glendive who
received like sentences a few
DAYS ago for bank robbery. So
cietv would have been much better
off if WEIGH had eve been born.
His contribution to the world has
been only the indulgence in the
lowest degree of living. At Sa-
lem, Mo, his mother lVeSi anu
somewhere else two sisters and a
brother will speak only in whis-
pers when they mention his name,
while the mother heart languishes,
as a good-for-nothing son quickly
adopts the prisoner pallor under
Just a number in a state penal
institution.
The time for young men to'think
is before getting into trouble. AT
forwards. thinking can offer nc
safeguards. but rather thinking
lends to the severity of punish
ment. if there remains a spark OF
manhood after misspent years.
