lane through Wyoming and Mon
eana was depicted at q meeting IN
Great Falls aa which members Of
the roads and tourist committees
Of the chamber Of commerce c0n-
ferred with Billings, Lewiss0wu and
Wyoming proponents Of the road.
L L Newton, Lander, Wyo., pub
Usher and former president of the
Custer Battlefield highway, described
the highway as passing through the
richest land of the west and providing
a lane Of travel TO the north for those
seeking to escape the heat and a lane
TO the south for those dodging the
cold.
The road originates at Mexico City
and passes through HermOsillo, Mo-
gales, Gallup, Craig, Rifle, Lander, Bill
nngs, Lewistown, Great Falls, Brown
ing or Sweet Grass and Calgary.
Newton recalled the old days OF
travel when it took him two days TO
make the trip By auto from Living
ston. The early proponent Of good roads
was called visionary. he said
TN those days there was no tourist
travel and the sagacity OF the pioneers
fn road building In Montana and
wyoming was ridiculed in the early
days because the ordinary person did
nok f0rsee the growth Of tourist bslsa-
ness Newton told the group. Times
have changed now and we are seeking
20 bring more travellers into our noun
tain area. The primary thought in pro-
noting q highway today Is 70 keep In
mind the traveller Is the one who
must be satisfied. We muss gubmexEe
our selfish interests and route the
traveller along the best scenic routes
and over roads that are well con-
gtr1lcted."
Newton said one Of the goals TO be
sought was continuous highway num-
Der from the two extremities so that
when q strip map of the route Is pub
lighed the tourist win be able to stay
on the same number highway through
out the trip from Mexico City to CAL
gary.
Il. L. Buck of Billings told the Great
Falls committeeman q state organiza-
ton was necessary in order TO co-op-
crate with the rest Of the states on
the route. Montana is the only one
without state group, he said.

Other Editors Say
YOUTH IN CRIME
tOranpe Daily News

The other day a judge in the superior court
struck by the youthful appearance OF prisoners
before him Learned that the average age OF the
men 25 years
The observation bears out statistics showing
that most crime is committed by men in their
twenties The fact is not surprising, since men
of criminal bent will begin their occupation
early.
What is distressing is the increasing number
of Young offenders contributing to the lncreaS-
Ing volume of crime, and responsible for the
increasing volume Of crime. Why does such
condition exist?
The obvious and the popular answers are
that economic conditions and lax enforcement
make crime an attractive occupation Are they
the true answers?
We doubt it very much The boy OF charac-
ter be he poor or in comfortable circumstances,
does not steal nor does he examine the probab-
ilty of punishment.
It is the man of weak moral character who
finds himself in trouble with the law. 1t fol-
lows that the crime problem is inseparable from
the problem of character building.
The primary task of character building IS
home task and there it is undoubtedly affected
by economic conditions but such conditions are
not a decisive factor. The home, however,
poor, which preserves the traditions ofhonesty
will turn out no criminals. The American task
is TO preserve such homes.

TIJUANA RIOTINGS
MERELY AN INDICATION

Mob rloting IN Tijuana, although set
off by popular resentment against
soldier who attacked and killed a little
girl. was not entirely the result of the
atrocity. In the opinion of many OBJ
servers. ne murder was very minor
cause.
You might compare the rioting to d
bubble that rises to the surface when
an earthquake disturbs the ocean floor.
There is an economic and political earth
quake in Mexico, and public rioting of
the kind that occurred in Tijuana is
merely a result
Mexico. attempting to establish COM
munal form of government by the peon
classes. has torn down the established
form of government too rapidly. The
result has been a general disrespect for
all forms of government. When the peo-
pie lose respect for government, mob
rule is foregone conclusion. Mexico
may be starting the harvest of the seeds
she has s0wn in recent months.

Gondra Treaty of 1888, which
guaranteed amiability between the

The committee investigated and
fixed the blame. An accord was
reached and laid before the Con-

agreed to the proposal that Santo

a HARD MAN
TO REPLACE

Nobody wao is sincerely interested IN
the city government of FL Centre vii
welcome the news that Mayor Roy We
mack will retire from the city council
after the April election. II will be hard
to find another man TO fiji the place he
has occupied. Citizens of the city can
find consolation only i'm the knowledge
that his Influence will be felt long after
he has ceased TO be a member of the city
board.
Womack Is not politician. Ever those
who disagreed with him occasionally
have recognized in spite of their dis
agreement that Womack'S opinions
spring from genuine convictions found
ed upon entirely sound principles. The
highest praise that can be given to any
man in public life can be given to him
that whatever he has done or attempt
ed to do in city government he believed
to be for the best interests of the great
est number of people.
Ii will not be easy to elect a successor
who can fill Womack's place, and for
that reason it should be the desire of
every voter to find for the job some man
whose character ability and common
sense meet the precedent established
by the retiring mayor.
