OOKING UP"lt's always morning
somewhere."
While "school is not ott" as far as
the elementary grades are concerned,
we are always inclined to date the
start of the vacation season from the
university's commencement day. And
that day is now in the past, for 1914.
The year at the university has closed
and the students have scattered to
their homes. Vacation, then, may be
said to be with us.
As to the necessity which exists
for this vacation institution there is
no question raised, either by theorist
or by practical man. The former fig-
ures it out easily that the human ma-
chine requires a rest in order to main-
tain a state of efficiency. The latter
has discovered by actual experience
that it is better for his business that
the men who do his work should have
a chance for change and recuperation.
So we may dismiss the argument as
settled. We may declare the verdict
unanimous in favor of vacation. And
our discussion naturally turns to the
question of how best to take advant-
age of vacation's opportunities.
There are many people who make
too hard work of vacation. To be
sure, they gain the benefits which
come from change of sctene andl oc-
cupation for a time, but they make
such a task of their vacation pleasure
that they do not derive from it half
the lasting good which they might
gain.
In western Montana, the question of
vacation settles itself, provided it is
not messed with. Right here, close
at hand, there are incomparable va-cation charms, ready for our enjoy-ment, just for the taking. It is notnecessary for us to take long railwayjourneys in the heat if June, to finda pleasant place to rest. We havehere the climate, the water, the scen-ery, the sports for which other peiopleare compelled to travel far.
Some of the most successful vaca-tions which I know about have beenspent by home folka here, right athome. None of their trips were morethan a day or twot in length and allwere taken leisurely and comfortably.Some of their days were spent in theback yard at hore. All of their dayswere happy.
There were fishing trips and picnictrips and photographing trips andi
there were days of quiet loafing. Therewas always the home bed and thehome table to which return was pos-sible In a few hours. And there wasthe grandest scenery, the finest fish-ing, the most glorious climate withwhich Providence has endowed man.
It was a happy vacation in everyinstance in which I have known thisprogram to be carried out. So werethe vacations happy when friendsjaunted in automobiles; so were thosehappy in which the vacationists jour-neyed In railway trains. But these va-cations for the folks who have noautomobiles, for those to whom theexpense of a railway journey is toogreat, they are the ones which provethe possibilities for happiness which
lie right at our doors. We are won-derfully blest, here in this region. We
have not reason for one little word ofcomplaint. We have such opportuni-
ties for enjoyment as- compare with
our resources in other lines. Righthere at home we have the things for
which many people cross the conti-
nent.-THE OPTIMIST.
A WORTHY TRIBUTE
It was a graceful act upon the part of the Class of 1914 ofthe University of Montana, to leave as its remembrance withits alma mater, the portrait of Professor Aber. It was anact which reflects wisdom and good judgment, together withfine courtesy and sound appreciation. If all the acts of themembers of this class, in the future, are as wisely conceived,as well planned and as graciously executed, the 1914 num-erals will be red figures in the history of the institutionwhich has so recently conferred degrees upon these youngmen and women.
The Missoulian's news columns during the week have toldof the pleasant words which were spoken in presentation andin acceptance of this new portrait which now hangs upon thelibrary walls of the university. It is not necessary here torepeat them. They were words well chosen and fitlyspoken. They were sincere, which is the best part of it.Timely was the gift which the class of 1914 bestowed uponthe university in parting and gracefully was that gift pre-sented.
Rather, the incident finds place here this morning by rea-son of the high principle and earnest devotion which arepersonified in the man who is subject of the portrait. Thewords of appreciation which were spoken by student andfaculty orators, last week, were but mild delineation of the
'service which Professor Aber has rendered the universityand the state. No finer type could have been chosen by thisgraduating class as the subject for the portrait which itshould leave to students present and to students yet to c)me.
Professor Aber is typical of the spirit which pervades thework at the University of Montana. His is the Montana'spirit. His is the example which has done so much to createand to keep alive that spirit.
Loyalty and devotion are the attributes which stand outmost strongly in the impression which contact with Profes-sor Aber leaves upon the student mind. And this impres-ision is the more lasting because it is formed by practice and:not by preaching. The testimony of the students is thatIProfessor Aber is loved by every member of the studentbody at the university. Yet there is no member of the uni-versity faculty who is more exacting than is Professor Aber.It is because his ideal of the university is so high, becausehis love for the university is so deep, his devotion to the uni-Iversity is so strong, that he is able to hold the affections ofstudents and teachers alike.
The sentiment of the students who spoke at the presenta-'tion the other day was formed from association extendingthrough four years in the university. Those of us who havefollowed the development of the university through twodecades, who have known more or less intimately the splen-'did influence which Professor Aber has exerted for twentyyears-we share to the utmost the opinion which the stu-dents hold. Their estimate of Professor Aber is our esti-mate and their affection for him is our affection.
The university can prosper only through the maintenanceof a high ideal and through strict adherence to that ideal..This is true, of course, of any university, but it is particu-
larly true of the University of Montana.Professor Aber personifies that ideal. He lives that ideal.
The university is his very life and he has given that life tothe university.
This is not idle, perfunctory praise. It is written in per-fect sincerity. There have been many times when The Mis-soulian has not agreed with Professor Aber in matters whichconcerned the university and its development. But always,we have known that Professor Aber was unselfish and sin-cere in his position and always we have respected his views.
Future generations of students will find inspiration in theportrait, which the class of 1914 has left upon the universitywalls. That portrait represents the ideal of university en-deavor as the members of the class of 1914 see it after fouryears of sojourn there. If succeeding classes obtain thissame view of what constitutes true university work, of whatis meant by the university spirit, then there will go out fromthe gates of this institution, men and women who are worthyto bear the honors which are there conferred upon them.
There is, then, something particularly fitting in the selec-tion of the class of 1914; there is something specially timelyin the manner of the presentation of this portrait. Theclass is to be complimented and the university is to be con-gratulated.
In Little Old New YorkiI
Ne\\ York. Jlne G. - The first spell t
of warml \\ather has sentl manly flllli- Ilies to the country. The blue blindshiave tbeen going up all week at the tlown houses in the fashionable rest-dential districts. Already the town 1has hec,,me very desolate socially, the
ctiv\ities of the few retalniing llom- t
hers of society being tcnfinedt to the tstta:trl htls, where in formal dilnner
p t:li'es Irc tde an evening :at the roof
t.gardoens.
The f;ishliunall le stmllmer resorts areinot anticip'ating a banner season this tyear. ''The proprietor of a large andi \\ll-known resort lotel on the New
England coast who\\l was in town thetlhIer dtao to engage his help for the 1
seatson slpklle rather dismally of theitoutlook for the stttnmaer business. He
said tlliht up to the first of May he hadrcct.ivted fe\ver than 4100 requests for thereserve of accommoUl dations at His hotelduring the season. In good years, hestated, the number of such requestsfrequently exceeded 1,000. Proprie-tors of nlany other lsutmmer hotels andbeach attractions have been heard re-cently to speak of the outlook interms of deep pIessitmism.
Thackeray's heroine solved theproblem of 1ow to lice on "nothing ayear." New York is filled with menwho just mIanage to get by on an an-ttnual income of $75,000 or thetreabotutts.
f When the lean years come and theirearnings drop below the average theyare forced to economize. For manyof them this summer means Economy
t with a big E. And that is why theyr are sending the wives .and the kiddies
off to Europe instead of to the shorefor the summer. Experience hastaught them that it is cheaper forthem to remain quietly in town, put-
ting up at the club or one of the lessprctentious hotels and sending thefamily across the big pond, than totake a cottage at one of the fashion-able suommter colonies or to put 'p thewhole outfit at one of the high-pricedbeach hotels, Experience has alsotaught them that New York is not al-together a disagreeable place In sum-mer for the man whose family Isaway.
The big managers are not at allsorry that "finis" has been writtento the tneatrical season for 1913-1914.It was rather a barren season artistl-cally alnd at the same time far fromsatisfactory from the viewpoint of theboxoffice. The failures outnumberedthe successes about 10 to 1. In theearly part of the season the New
York playgoers were offered as tempt.ing a Shakesperian menu as was everserved in this city. But the publicevidently didn't want Shakespeare andhis plays were taken off. Musicalcomedy, which has been the most suc-cessful line of attractions for severalyears, fell flat this season. Here andthere a comedy, a drama or a musicalshow managed to do a paying busi-ness, but as previously stated thefailures were many and the successesfew. Scores of headline actors andactresses who were playing in thelegitimate last fall, wound up the sea-son by doing two-a-day in vaudeville.
The most notable success of thetheatrical season in many respectswas that of J. Hartley Manner's com-edy, "Peg o' My Heart," with LauretteTaylor in the stellar role. This playwas the opening attraction at JohnCort's new playhouse in West Forty-eighth street on the night of Decem-ber 20, 1912. With the exception of
Good Fridays and Sundays the playwas presented every day during theperiod from its opening date untillast Saturday night. The run ofseventy-six consecutive weeks was notthe longest in the records of theAmerican stage, but it was by far thelongest that has been scored in NewYork in many years. But LauretteTaylor's achievement of playing 604consecutive times the title role in theManners comedy is a record that hasnever before been equaled. The near-est approach to it in this country wasMaude Adams's 299 times as LadyBabble in "The Little Minister" at theEmpire and Garrick theaters duringthe season of 1898-09.
The second annual internationalmoving picture trades exposition willbe held in the Grand Central palacenext week under the joint auspices ofthe International Motion Picture Ex-hibitors' association and the Independ-ent Exhibitors of America. The ar-rangements provide for a *series ofnovel attractions and entertainmentsto acquaint the patrons and owners ofmoving picture theaters with theprogress made in the business duringthe past year. Primarily a motionpicture attraction, it will feature aspecial studio in which will he shownthe rehearsing, playing, taking andIdeveloping of a play let and then thefinished picture on a screen will berun. The play will he enacted by wellknown players now engaged in movingpicture companies in this country, in-cli:ling John Bunny, Mary Pickford,Alice Joyce, Crane \Vilhur, EarleWilliams. Pearl White and LillianWalker. Three sere of moving 4ilec-ture coonlpanies and enterprises cldselyallied with the moltion picture busi-ness will have exhibits at the. show.In connection with the expositionthere will be a convention of ownersand managers of mntiving picture
houses in all parts of the UnitedStates and Canada.
The conviction' of Madelina Ferolaon am charge of first degree murder
was something of a slrlprise to thoseconnected with the district attorney'soffice, where the theory has long pre-valled that It is iminpssible to get a
jury of 12 men in itle county of NewYork to send anything wearing a
Ilettimoat to the electric chair. Nomatter how clear the case or con-
"incing the evidence, or perfect thechain of proof, it has heretiofore beenfiund useless to oexlet aI verdict ofmurder in the first dIgrce against a
woman in this county. And what istrule of New York conty is true ofalmost every other in the state asshown by the results of trials of wom-en charged with murder. In the 22
years, since the electric chair was sub-stituted for the h:cnginan's noose as
the legal method for taking the lifeof a convicted mnurderer, only two
women have died in the stpte of NewYork at the hands of the law. Yet
in that noritod scores I:he been tried
for nmurder-in numerous cases thefacts of the killing being admitted.The first electrocution of a woman
took place in Sing Sing on March 21,
1S99. The victim of the death chairwas 1 Mrs. Martha Place of Brooklyn,
who killed her young stepdaughter inir brutal manner, and later, the same
day, tried to butcher her husband withan axe. The second electrocution of
a woman was that of Mrs. MaryFarmer, who was put to death in Au-
burn prison 10 years after the first
electrocution. Mrs. Farmer was con-victed of m:rd,.ring Mrs. Sarah Bren-
ran, her intimt:te friend and neighbor,
in order te gain possession of her
property. Mrs. Brennan was hacked
to I ieces with a hatchet and her body
stuffed in um trunk.

, Woman Blames Strikers for Bloodshed Ie Washington, June 6.-Mrs. Helen L.e Grenfell of ColoraCo, to whom Presi-
Sdent Wilson granted an interviewe some days ago, is remaining in Wash-
ington to enlighten senators and rep-e resentatives on what she calls the real
situation in her state.Mrs. Grenfell is v;ce president ofs the Colorado Law and Order league,
Y composed largely of women, whosee purpose she says is to sustain the
state authorities so long as their ac-tions are in the interest of a proper
Sconduct of public affairs.'The conflict at Ludlow was a most
unfortunate affair," said Mrs. Gren-fell in an interview here, "but neverhas a tragedy been seized upon forsuch mnsrepresentation and defama-tion to the injury of the good nameof the state and of the reapulation ofits people for humanitarianism ands fair dealing. I am here because ourSorganization Wants the truth knownin the interest of the state."
Mrs. Grentell claims the strikerswere the aggressors at Ludlow. "Itshould be remembered," she said, "thatthe labor troubles extend over a widearea, including not only those aroundLudlow, but in Boulder county, 200 or300 miles to the north, and in Routt
I county, as far to the west. The south-ern fields, however, is the most ex-tended, and has been the scene of thelarger number of the conflicts.
Militia Preserved order."The southern strike had not been
long in progress when the collisionsbetween the strikers and the repre-sentatives of the mine operators be-came so frequent that it became nec-essary for Governor Ammons to callout the militia. Abort that time oc-curred the ambuscade at the littletown of La Veta, whi re four or fiveinoffensive miners were waylaid andkilled by the strikers because theywould not join the walkout. Manyother outrages had been committed bythe strikers, but it was not long untilorder was restored by the state troops.During the entire stay of the militia,about seven months, there were onlytwo deaths resulting fromi the strikein the entire southern strike zone.

Students of the Oregon Agriculturalcollege are working at the forest nur-sery on the Siuslaw forest. The ar-rangement is said to be mutually sat-isfactory since the students gain ex-perience in forest nursery practice andtheir assistance lowers the cost ofnursery work.
Manufacturers have found that redalder from tile Pacific coast is a suit-able material for clothespins. Aldermakes a white, smooth, springy pin.As a result of this fact, a clothespinfactory, said to be the first on the
ing of women and children belongingto the tent colony of strikers. I de-sire especially that it should be under-stood that .the statements I make arebased upon official investigations. Inthe main, the facts have been broughtout by the military commission, whichmade an inquiry on tlfe ground imme-diately after the battle.
Puts Blame on Strikers.
"One most important, and, to mymind, a controlling fact, is that the-day when the fight began there wereonly 32 militiamen at Ludlow, whilethere were about 500' armed strikersand strike sympathizers who had con-gregated there, many of them comingfrom New lMexico. These strikers werethoroughly armed and their tentsfilled with ammunition. Large num-bers of them were fresh from thefBalkan war and trained in the arts ofmodern war.
"In view of these facts is it rea-sonable to suppose that the troopswould have sought a clash? More-over, it should be borne in mind thatthe tent town was surrounded by rifle
1its previously built by the strikersand that the striking fighters . tookrefuge in these pits, notwithstandingby so doing they Lrought the tents inthe range of the firing.
"Under many of the tents therewere shallow cellars, which, owing tothe fact that they had been freshlyexcavated, many believe were made inview of a contemplated attack on themilitia. It was the oiccelancy of oneof the undertent excavations by.women and children that led to theirdeaths. The pit occupied by the 11little ones and two women was onlyfive feet deep, six feet wide and lessthan ine feet in length. When thebodies were taken out the next daynot a bullet scratch was found on anyof them and only one was burned,and that but slightly. IIow they mettheir death I do not know, but Dr.Curry, a physician living at Hastings,who examined the corpses, gave it ashis opinion at the court-martial thatthey were sruffocated by the heat andfoul air generated by their own bodies.
