Mail Advertising leMS WHri PUBLISHED EACH THURSDAY AT BELT, MONT., BY S. A. REMINGTON THOU SHALT NOT— Since the days when Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge and disobeyed there has been exhibited from time to time the same innate repugnance to obey any law or behest which reads "Thou Shalt Not—. People are grown-up children who are more easily led than shriven and from the time of Draco when the laws were said to have been written in blood, there has been constant rebellion against rales intended to deprive the individual of what he may consider personal privileges. In the world's history one may read of the carnivals of license following close upon the period where blue laws have held sway, only to be followed again by another reversion to religious and moral standards. During the present generation there is a positive falling away from the old standards of home life and church allegiance, prob ably induced by the rigid Puritan training of the young a genera tion ago, who now as mature men and women rule the nation, and who possibly unconsciously rebelled against the Spartan training which made Sunday a day to be dreaded and religion a fearful thing. *» Possibly this reaction may be terminated in the next few years but it may go on until it has had time to disgust old and young with its corruption. A leader is better than a driver. A smile will go farther than a club and interest that shows some self-sacrifice will avail more than a decalog of thou shalt not's promylgated in a way showing the expectation of disobedience and a savage joy in the thought of the punishment to be administered. t ?

Gullidge of Terry, to allow his name to be used as a candidate for the office of sUte su superintendent of public instruction, and while he has not yet determined whether he will allow the use of his name, it is likely that he will give his sanction within a short time. Few men in the state are better known than Professor Gullidge, both in educational and legislative circles, and his fitness for the position must appeal to every one who seeks service and competence in this department of state government that has so much to jdo with the ones who are to govern its destinies within the coming years. As an educator he is not surpassed by any in Montana, and he would take with him into the office a thorough understanding of the needs of the Strong pressure is being brought to schools of the state. We have no criticism of Miss Trum- 1 per, present superintendent, though in many of her actions we have taken j' occasion to differ. * She has mixed politics too much with the administra- H tion of her office, she has absolutely 1 g no regard for the taxes imposed upon E the people so long as it was given to s her department to spend. Under this E regime the school taxes imposed are E the highest ever known and we have j E serious doubts if the efficiency has E iOCM*eed in the least. > We have known intimately Profes- 1 E sor Gullidge for 15 years as principal £ of the Terry high school, and have S observed his earnest endeavors in be- £ half of the grade schools through the state, feel that he is eminently quali fied for the position of state superin tendent, and in electing him to the po sition a great service will be done the children. Many of the splendid school laws now on the statute books of Mon tana are the result of his efforts as a of the Montana legislature, and we are sure that no more capable man will, offer himself for office this year.—Terry Tribune, £ mi I HeiJ may be paved with good inten tions, says Mayor Millard, but a* ksoat bonds did not hare to be issued for a® the paving.
