THE STATE’S OLDEST NEW: - (Established 1873 : (Offi Newspaper) COPPER PIONEER PASSES With the death last week of Ex-Senator William And- rews Clark, Montana, passed the last of its picturesque copper pioneers. He entered the “stub-toe” state a young man of twenty-four driving an ox-team with a tobacco cargo; he died at eighty-six, one of America’s richest men, leaving priéeless art treasures, whith he personally collected. A man of considerable versatility, yet withal always thorough—farmer’s boy, school teacher, law student, miner, prospector, banker, and art collector—he covered the wide gamut of many activities in a long lifetime. But it is for his; connection with its copper industry that Montana and the? Northwest knows him best. He, with his life-long enemy, Marcus Daly, and with Augustus Heintz and Senator Geérge Hearst, wrote colorful Montana history in its early days of statehood and before, when its sub-soil first revealed the basis of their fortunes. Among the first to recognize the possibilities, when cop- per s found in Butte in 1875, Ex-Senator Clark rapidly acquired valuable mining interests. But in these busiest days he took the time to go East to Columbia University for courses in mineralogy. He became an expert assayer, and in the years that followed based his mining investments on his own skilled investigations. In 1889 Montana was admitted to The Union as a state, and in 1890 began Ex-Senator Clark’s memorable fight for a seat in the United States Senate. A cool, calculating fighter, he was pitted against the blustering owner of the rival Anaconda mines, Marcus Daly. And Marcus Daly successfully kept him out of the Senate for a decade, the election of 1889 in which ‘he ran being violently contested, and charges brought against him of buying the state legis- lature. Three years later, though, ‘he won his fight, and entered on his Senate term in 1901. No longer have we the opportunities here in the United States for producing those flinty pioneers who wrested from 1 City, State and County the soil and from each other, under the might makes right | rule, their personal gain. Our pioneering is of another sort, less spectacular perhaps, but with the social welfare as its end. We may regret the passing of the old order, but there is still opportunity for virile fighters for sound government, for improved education, for civic progress. A CHANCE One hundred and ten of the 119 men and women placed on ‘probation in Cuyahoga county, O., in 1924 have “gone straight.” During the three years in which adult probation has been working in Cleveland, 79 per cent of the cases have completed their probationary terms su sfully. This from a report by James P. Kirby, chief probation officer for common pleas court, Cleveland. We are learning that man is what he is largely through environment and circumstance. The old adage, “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” has been the guiding principle for centuries in our treatment of criminals but, fortunately, is being outworn. Society should show more interest in probation, psychi- atric examination and other more refined methods of hand- ling law-breakers. If for no other reason than the economical one, for, ~ Kirby remarks, it costs “about one-seventh as much to super- vise a person on probation.as to keep him in prison.” TRADE Foreign trade of the United States, world’s super sales- man, amounted to 82 hundred million dollars in 1924, an increase of 240 millions over 1923. Exports increased; imports decreased; favorable balance of trade, so called, grew 600 millions larger. You learn that Great Britain, instead of China, is now our biggest customer, although we get most of our imports from: Canada. Listing the customers, in order of their pur- chases, they are Great Britain, Canada, Germany, France, Japan, Cuba, Italy and Holland. Countries from which we import chiefly are, in order, Canada, Great Britain, Cuba, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Straits Settlements, France and Germany. ae AGE “\ Newspapers inform you of the “bleeding pillar” in Chi- cage’s new union station.

The moon was dipping behind the hills and Mister Sun’s bald head was beginning to show itself over the other side ‘ofthe world. All around him the clouds were fiery red, as though underneath the edge of the world there was a great bonfire some- where. “Red in the morning, sailor's warning,” said Mister Peg Leg. “It’s going to rain. I never ‘knew it to fail. We'd better be hurrying or we shall get caught in a shower.” But almost_before he was through speaking it was pouring rain. “Well, well, well!” cried Mister Peg Leg. “This is a pretty: pickle. Now what shall we do?” Nick laughed. J°know,” he said. “Just wait here.” 4 Away he ran into the woods and three mushroom umbrellas. “Ha;:ha, ha! That's just fine,” said Mister Peg ‘Leg. “But how can ‘I carry my pack and my pocketbook and my umbrella all at once?” “I’m going to carry your pack,” said Nick. “You've carried it ‘long enough and you must be tired.” He: took the fairyman’s pack and slung it on his own strong shoulders. “and I am .going to carry your pocketbook,” said a new voice and turning around who should they sea jbut Snitcher Snatch, the .bad little goblin, standing there in all the ;pouring rain, “I just waited till you sqld all you could,” said the goblin, “and now that you are leaving, I'll have your thoney, please.” 5 “You get out,” cried ‘Nick, “Shoo!” shouted Nancy. “You can’t have Mister Peg Leg’s money.” The Twins were. as .brave as s diers and they began.to pummel the bad little goblin‘with all their might. But the goblin pushed them away finally as -he was extra strong. “Now you give me that pocket- book,” he demanded again. Without a word . the f, man handed it over, bat it was empty! “Find the money~ if. you - cai grinned Mister Peg Leg. “You've hid it! You've ‘hid it in a tree,” shouted Snitcher Snatch. “But Tl find it.” A Mister Peg Leg and the Twins went on, Iéaving .'the ‘bad goblin jumping up and down furiously. .

(As to these—no guns; no murder. Maintain the Three of Them , What is the true answer to the ‘questions raised between the army, the wavy and the air service, prob- ally nobody yet knows. But what to do: about it is plain enough. It is to develop the air ‘service, but-to maintain the army and ‘navy, too. Other nations have not scrapped warships because they haye airships. Until they do, neither should we. Airplanes may have made battle- ships obsolete, but we can afford to think so only when our neighbors do. Also, no sufficient case has yet Keen made out for divorcing the air service from the army and navy. There may be arguments for unit- ing them all in one department.

Mr. and Mrs, Mann nodded, and the girl disappeared into the doctor's office. “You're first, remember,” Mrs. Jones whispered to her husband when the girP:had left. “Hope we don’t have to stay here all after- noon. Got to go to the market, yet, you know.” Mr. Jones continued to glance through his magazine, and looked up only when the office girl returned FABLES ON HEALTH MINATION and invited them into the doctor's office, “You both may come,” she said, when Mrs. Jones remained sitting. “It really won't take long.” An hour later Mr. and Mrs. Jones emerged from Dr. Riggs’ office and walked down the street to the mar- ket, Mr. Jones spoke first. ~ “Really not so bad, after all,” he said. “No, but remember what he said about your heart,” was the tart re- ply. “And now John, you're going :to let up on smoking that pipe so much, and, and after this you are going to eat pork but once a day.” “Poor Mister Peg Leg lost all his money,” said Nancy sadly. “Oh, ho!
