SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

A Professors Relaxation.
A little nonsense now and then,
We've frequently been told,
Is relished by the best Of men;
The sayin's very old.
But other peoples nonsense makes
The sage with anguish groan.
Unto his heart he only takes
A product of his own.
Nor does he always laugh with glee
To hail his merry jest;
He'll set it forth where all may see
In solemn language dressed.
With syllogistic phrase he'll strut,
And curious words he'll frame.
It gives the wise man pleasure, but
It's nonsense just the same.

the reasons which appealed 10 the pho
netics experts. On the surface, the ef-
fort seems too ridiculous to deserve any
serious consideration.
There can be no doubt that COM
mon language, accepted by the world
and taught in all countries with the ma
tive tongues, would be desirable. A large
element in the Misunderstanding of
peoples is always the misunderstand-
ing of languages. So there have been
many efforts to invent such a common
language-and all have been practically
still-born. They never have appealed
either to scholars or to the general pub
lie. Some of them have been rather
repulsive-like Anglic.
We are tempted to ask: Why all this
wasted energy? Centuries ago a COM
mon language was established for Eu-
rope which admirably served its purpose.
1t was dead language, so that its use
aroused no national jealousies. 1t still
remains the international language of
science. This language is Latin. 1t
seems to offer the nearest to an ideal
solution of the problem that has yet
been proposed.
The observance now in progress
throughout the world of the two thou
sandth anniversary of the birthday Of
Vergil may afford an excellent oppor-
tunity for a revival of interest in the
precise, dignified and stately Roman
tongue which for so many centuries was
Europe's other language, a reading
knowledge of which was taught in the
elementary schools. True enough it will
never express all the subtleties of ma
tional thought. But it will do so much
better than any invented tongue.

Offenses Against
Law Blamed on Police.
La Nacion, Buenos Aires--The prev
alence of grave offenses against law
and order in the capital is due to the
failure of the police to exercise their
preventive functions. This department
of public protection was not organized,
as most of its constituents appear to
think, to search out criminals after the
commission of their misdeeds, but to
act as bulwark against such perpe-
trationS. In other words, it is the
intended mission of the Police Depart
ment to dry up crime at its source and
not attempt to dam q current of crime
a1Uer IL mas DeSn allowed 10 aCIlleFe
a turbulent and vicious career. The
epidemic of disorder and insecurity now
sweeping this unhappy city is entirely
due to the inefhciency and lack of
foresight of the Police Department
Known malefactors and potential law
breakers of all classifications are al
lowed to follow their illicit activities un-
disturbed until some particularly fla
grant crime or misdemeanor brings
down upon them the hand of the off,
cials appointed to maintain the public
veal. But the injury has already been
done. Apprehension and punishment
of the guilty, no matter how severe the
consequences, do not restore the loss
in life or property or allay the uneasi-
ness of citizenry ever expecting new
evils and jeopardies. The true pur-
pose of the police is to prevent crime,
not to punish it. And crime can best
be prevented by removing instanter
from the city all those of known GRIM
inal proclivities, both those engaging
and those ready to engage in dubious
enterprises. That the police heretofore
have appeared reluctant to take such
obviating action has aroused the sus-
picion in some minds that they are in
terested in protecting the very rogues
they are paid to externinate.

His opponent, Marcus A. Coolidge, Is a
wet and a Democrat. The Republican
vets are declaring in numbers they in
tend to vote for Coolidge, The Butler
people are demanding party loyalty
from these vets. But it does not ap-
pear that the wet Republicans are
likely to answer the call any more than
the dry Republicans in New York ana
Illinois.
While it looks as though New York
will go Democratic in the gubernatorlal
race, it does not appear that the
Denaoc sats are likely to win more than
one House seat now held by Republic
ans, if they win that. Mrs. Ruth Pratt:

trict. has a real fight on her hands IN
a three-cornered race with Louis b.
Brodsky, Democrat, and Haywood
Broun of literary fame, Socialist. just
how many votes Broun will receive Is
matter Of guesswork. The district has
been rather strongly Republican ana
was formerly represented IN the Rouse
by ogden Mills, Undersecretary OF the
Treasury.
Mrs. Pratt has been unfortunate in
her present campaign. The district IS
shy about $4,000 in its registration and
most of the loss is on the Republican
side of the fence.
Broun may take more votes away
from the Democratic candidate than
from Mrs. Pratt But, even so, she Is

Montana From The Air

Long vague probability, night fly
ing will be an actuality over the Ma
tional Parks Anyways, Inc. line this
summer. Bids are being let for the
establishment of intermediate landing
fields-l6 in number-and the govern
ment will establish beacon lights at
intervals of between Is and 81 miles.
Federal aviation authorities said
each landing field would be lighted
with 1,075,0O0 candle power beacons
and that the beacon chain would be
visible at all points along the line by
night filters.
The government is financing the
improvement in order to expedite air
plane development in Montana. The
intermediate fields are available for
all airmail planes and all other planes
which are not operated for CONNER
cial gain.
Said Major General James Fechet,
U. S. aviation commander:
Construction of intermediate fields
and establishment of an airway light
ing system will further the interest
of aviation in this part of the country
to great extent. It will be finish
ing touch toward putting Butte and
other cities of Montana on the avia-
ton map of the United States"

One More Ghost Town.

ROY, May 12.-fU.P.)-Montana's
"ghost" towns have been formed for
the most part by the sudden collapse
of mining booms, but near Roy, there
is "ghost" village whose existence
is traced to the advent and popular
usuage of the automobile.
Time was when Little Crooked was
the community center of a group of
homesteaders 30 miles northeast of
Roy Came roads and automobiles;
homesteaders were able to drive to
Roy for their shopping. One by one,
stores, residents and even the school
were closed.
Finally, only Mr.. and Mrs. C. A.
Baker remained. They conducted \
general store and post office. And
now the Bakers have departed and the
once thriving little hamlet has been
abandoned to the GHOSTS" of former
days.

MONTANA BIRD CONTEST
Crowded Out Last Week.


Last March while the school chill
dren of Montana were choosing q
state bird, the Record Herald of Hell
ena published long editorial which
seems to have swayed public senti-
ment toward the meadowlark. The
article said that Montana was the
first state to choose representative
bird. A short time after this article
appeared the Great Falls Tribune
copied it and again put it before the
public.
There seems to be no doubt but that
the meadowlark will be Montana S
bird. We believe that this bird is be-
ing favored largely because of the in
formation furnished by these papers.
We do not object to the choice, nor to
the "Herald's" influence in making it,
but we would critic the statements
this paper published. We rather
doubted the validity Of this article so,
to assure ourselves We wired to the
U. S. Biological survey. We learned
that Oregon, Kansas and Nebraska
now have the meadowlark as their
state bird and that Montana is by
no means a pioneer in this movement
many states have representative
birds and have had for years.
We sent copy of the telegram to
the editor of the Herald, but he
made no attempt to correct the mis-
take.
We are sorry that our state is to be
the fourth to choose the meadow
lark We feel sure that had the peo-
pie known the facts they would never
have chosen this bird.
We sent a copy of the telegram to
the editor of the Herald" but he
made no attempt to correct the mis-
take.
