EX-EXALTED RULER
DROWNED IN BATH
OAKLAND. Cal., April 21. Asso
ciate Justice llenrv A. llelvin of the
stato supremo court was found
drowned in a bathtub at the MVrritt
hospital here todnv. JiuIkc Melvin's
physician, Dr. William S. I'orter, in
dicated that ilusljco jMclviii, while
delirious from fever filled the tub
with water and died while bathiiu;.
Justice M'clvin had been ill for sev
eral months, llenrv Alexander Mcl
vin was widely kntfwn as a Youn:
linn's Christian association worker
and us past urnnil exalted ruler of the
Klks lodirc.
I Ju(1l'0 Mclvin, who bad been
tiroiieht to Jlerritt hospital two days
previously from St. Francis hospital
ill Kail Francisco, had been kept under
close watch, as, accnrdiiu; to Dr. l'or
ter, it was known that bo was labor
inir under hallucinations resaltni'
from bis illness. Shortly after 7
o'clock this moraine; be rcnucsted Per
mission to takn a bath and was told
that be could do so if he would leave
the door to the bathroom open. (n-c
inside the room, he slammed the dour
and locked it. When it was finnlU
forced open after considerable effort
bis body was found in a bathtub full
of water. Life was practically ex
tinet. Dr. I'orter was at once sum
moned, but found him dead upon ar
rival. For five months Jtuk'e Jlelvin bad
been suffcriiiir from a form of brain
iuvor.
THE MONTANA PRIMARY
THE MONTANA primary is a dear cut victory for
Senator Johnson. It is also an emphatic defeat, tho
first recorded by popular ballot, of the peace treaty and
league ot .Nations.
In every other primary the total of the California sen
ator's vote has been exceeded by the total of his opponents.
If early returns are a fair indication, Johnson has a solid
majority in Montana, in excess of any combination his ro
jiublican rivals can offer.
As has been pointed out before, Senator Johnson's bub
port is an unbreakable unit. He is the only candidate who
uncompromisingly opposes the treaty and league covenant,
with or without reservations, and he is the only candidate
who makes a direct appeal to the radical element ot dis
content. It is not surprising that a state which requires
the United States army to preserve order in the streets of
its principal city one day, should register a landslide for
Johnson the next.
JL M. JL JL
Nevertheless, the political significance of Johnson's
persistent victories, can not be escaped, nor his growing
importance as a factor in the coming presidential contest
denied. With Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Mod
tana and probably Wisconsin behind him, he could lose in
every other state and still hold a strategic position of genu
ine consequence.
All of which makes certain one grand old scrap in the
Chicago convention. While Montana is the sole" state thus
far to justify the assumption the Johnson supporters will
go to Chicago with a claim that the people have registered
emphatic opposition to tho treaty and league of nation
With iJoraii ana donnson irrevocably committed, to mi
anti-league platform, the framers of the republican plat
form will be faced by a genuine dilemma. To adopt the
Lodge program ot reservations, means to invite a party
split, to adopt the Johnson-Borah program means a con-.
test with the Democratic party on an out-and-out league
or no league issue.
Meanwhile, the political observer notices the demo
cratic trend. A hand-picked Wilson (supporter victorious
in' Georgia and Senator lieed, the democratic Johnson,
rend out or the party in Missouri.
There promises to be nothing tame about this year's
conventions.

HOUSES ARE SCARCE
nr HE TOWN is short of dwellings of small or larger
size and so we hear the yellings of heartsick home
less guys; they hustle, helter-skelter, to try to rent a
shelter of some hard-hearted pelter, unmoved by till

rent; but there's no builder willing to take his hard
earned shilling and help him make a killing, and hence
this loud lament. I see the homeless hiking around me
everywhere; their bosoms they are striking, and tearing
of their hair; men flaunt their rollls of kroners, and cry,
"Kent us a shack, or we are simply goners, alas, and
eke alack!" Our kids and wives arc weepiug, for they
must do their sleeping in barns where rain is seeping
through every beastly crack ! Our uncles aud our gran

crannies the winds go whizzing by; then rent to us, my
master, a house with lath and plaster, or there will be
disaster, and fireworks popping high!" In vain there

"I suppose sho kept tho play

says
From recent letters of ten farmers who have used Giant "
Powders for Stumping' We make these extracts:
"1. Your ' Giant Fr.rm Powders shoot the roots. 2. They
have wide breaking power and less bad gases than others.
3. I get the r.ame excellent results from them every time.
4. They are always uniform. 5. I used eleven tons and
wouldn't have any other make. 6. I want to sell a lot of
other powder that I have because Giant does the work much
better. 7. Genuine Giant can't be equalled. 8. I don't have
to use so much powder when I blast with Giant. 9. You
know what we need for Stumping. 10. I save money by
using Giant Powders."
