the polls to decide whether the
State shall be empowered to is
she Sc. OOO, 900 in highway construc-
tion warrants during the next four
years.
Those who voted at the last

have become of voting age since
then. or those who have come TO
Montana and who have attained
residence qualifications, must reg
lister with the clerk and recorder
by Saturday of this week in order
TO be eligible to take part in the
special election which will follow
in 10 days.
Many absent voters ballots r
being cast by people who are abb
sent from Montana but who re-
tain their KEEN interest in the
progress of the State and desire
to see it's highway program on a
par with that of neighboring stat
es. Many who plan to be absent

are marking their ballots at the

making sure their vote for speedy
| completion of the states highway
program.
Latest figures from the clerk
and recorders office in Roosevelt
County, show that registration

Officials Volunteering
In many counties practically all
of the election officials are vol
unteering their services on the
day of the debenture election,
May 5. When asked concerning
the matter in this county, Calvin
Rogers, clerk and recorder, said
that replies had not yet been re-
ceived from many of the election
officials to whom letters had been
sent, but that so far he would esti-
mate that more than so per cent
of the election officials had sign
flied their intention of serving
without pay. The number will
probably be considerably more
than half, but many of the Off
Gals haven't replied and so no
statement can be made about
them.
R~eferendums Sent Out
This week there have been sent
out to all votes the text of the de-
benture referendum which will be
up for vote ON May 5. This will
enable everyone to give the ref
erendum serious consideration be.

Queer He was not much of an actor,
never rising 10 ma jor parts, being tenn
peramentally unsuited to the subordina-
ton to direction that Is required In the
ranks CT the theater. He was not greatly
gifted as an author, as far as his own
unaided efforts went. his outstanding
successes In drama creation being those
Of collaboration. 1t was as producer,
however, that he particularly shone. and
his success in that direction was ex-
ceptionally sustained. In all roles, as
actor, aS author and as producer, Be-
LAGOS career covered more than half a
century.
Whether any OF his work will live TO
make theater history IL not Immediately
TO be determined. He made sensat ional
successes with unmistakably mediocre
material, winning patronage and APP
plause by sheer showmanship, by lavish
production, BY shrewd exploitation OF
stars and by remarkably effective ad-

ever, was Of this character. He wrote

You are taken TO q police station and
lodged IN q cell and kept there all night

cere belief that you resemble closely
some bandit or murderer, has followed
you to your door and given the police
the clues which led to your arrest.
After prolonged examination you are
patted on the back and told that you
are innocent. For some time afterward
those who remember your name will
think of you as the suspect" and those
who hArbor suspicion Will believe that
there was something very shady about
your release.

for the police to go about their business
OF interviewing the young men, and
confronting them with witnesses, with
out dragging them to . precinct station
and holding them overnight for in

Th:re is no excuse for the brutally
shpshod methods of the police in this

tine-all In the days work. The heads
Of the police department might ind out
who was responsible for locking these

Of q little tact and intelligence. such
