Notes From Shows Corners.

Mr.. Herman Gregory, the Bren-
izer postmaster finally succeeded
in getting & school district estab-
lished and every one who lives in
the new district should be very
thankful for it and Mr.. Gregory
deserves lots of credit for his ever
lasting energy as it was hard
fought battle from start 10 finish.
Mr.. Gregory came home with the
plum from the county seat on Feb.
2, and on Feb 3, notified the par
ties whom the superintendent had
appointed trustees and they i'm.
mediately got busy and appointed
a chairman and school clerk, and
by March |, we expect the teach
er to arrive and school will begin.
Mr.. Gregory is fortunate enough
to own large house and generous
enough 10 offer large room in it
to hold school in until the school
house can be built, which will be
in the near future. The following
parties were appointed to compose
the school board: Herman Greg
ory, j. Smith, John W. Snow, Jr.
Trustees; Mrs. John Cook, School
Clerk; Herman Gregory, School
Chairman.
Joseph Doblier is spending a
few days with his brother in North
Dakota and it is reported on the
trail Of housekeeper.
John Witte, Jr. made trip
over northwest of Wibaux this
week and he says tina. he is figure
ing on buying some posts in that
vicinity, but we are all onto John,
as he has made several trips in
that direction this winter and has
never yet brought back any posts.
Siler Brothers, who live about 7
miles east of SHOWS Corners in

they had part of in flax last season,
but only got half of it stacked and

of it being to late before they could

One Of our well-to- do farmers in

two Independent commercial
agencies-a railroad and news
paper to make an even ex-
change Of two valuable commo-
dities transportation for adver-
tising. And the autocratic post
office department is simply fol-
lowing suite.
And now Mr.. Hitchcock wants
to have the telegraph systems of
the country placed under his con-
troll. Well, he couldn't run a
moving picture show for me, un-
til he shows himself possessed
of a fairer spirit than he has
manifested towards the publish
ing and printing interest, al
though | would be perfectly will
ing to have him take over the
Western Union Telegraph Co.
He couldn't run that concern any
worse than it is being run now,
nor give the public any poorer
service than it receives at the
present time from the Western
Union. But that's another story.
The thing that must concern
the publishers of Montana, and
Of the country at large, is the
conservation of their business
interests. There is no business
in the world that that is more
cons family open to insidious at
tack than this. Some politician
who owes his very political exis-
tence to the free publicity re-
ceived from the newspapers,
seeks to gain notriety by some
freak legislation. He positively
menaces the peoples interests
by eliminating some legal publi-
cation which probably furnishes
the only means whereby every
body could keep track of public
business. His cheap demagogy
wins with the unthinking crowd.
The newspapers suffer directly
and the people indirectly.
Or, again, the party newspap-
ers whoop it up for an admins
tration that puts a man like
Hitchcock in power, and some of
them then accept his dicta with
lamb-like docility. But not al
ways so. The newspaper men
Of South Dakota, in convention
assembled, recently determined
that regardless Of party affiliation
they will secure justice or know
the reason why. The publishers
of Minnesota are much alive on
the same subject, and at their
association meeting next week
they plan to go after the scalp
of a certain "stateman" who
played them false on the stamp
ed envelope business.
The National Press Association
is a virile organization, which
will make itself felt in national
and state affairs
In fact, all through the North
west except in Montana-the
men who make communities pros
porous by their publicity efforts
are at last eXerting themselves
to secure a fair share in the pros
perity they create and maintain.
Ike Review would like to see
a midwinter meeting of the Mon
tana Press Association, at which
the publishers of the state could
discuss various problems now
confronting them. Let it be a
business session, strictly. Let
the newspaper men determine
that they will pursue a consistent
policy in regard to the political
developments that concern them
so vitally. and before long bet.

We don't want any Shake

looking for any special legisla-
ton in our favor. We are sim

something over a century of
American history. And yet we
have established, or allowed to
develop at WASHINGTON, a beau
rocracy called the Postoffice
Department, " which possesses
unlimited power of control and
seems to be animated by a desire
to hamper and embarrass the
publishing interests Of the coun-
try at every turn.
Instances of autOcratic inter-
ference with a mans private
business are not wanting. Mr..
Hitchcock is perfectly willing to
allow the perpetuation Of the
printed stained envelope monop-
oily, which is in itself the great
est piece of government injustice
directed toward private enter
prise that is suffered to exist in
the country today, and then he
makes frenzied efforts to meet
the postal deficit at least par
TALLY created by carrying these
printed stamped envelopes at an
immense cost to the government
and absolutely free to the con-
sumner (Which is simply class
favoritism, since the common
citizen or poor man no benefit
therefrom) mulcting the publish
ers of every cent possible.
One instance Of this policy is
presented in the new rules re-
quiring the affixing of a two-cent
postage due stamp to every copy
of a paper sent out to sub
scriber, which for some reason
fails of delivery to the addressee,
and compelling the publisher to
take this copy when it is return
ed to his local postofice and to
pay the postage due thereon ON
PENALTY OF LOSING HIS
NEWSPAPER MAILING FRIV-
ILEGE IF HE DARES REFUSE
TO PAY OUT GOOD MONEY
FOR THESE OLD COPIES OF
THE PAPER, WHICH ARE
ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS
TO HIM WHEN RETURNED.
A yelled threat to this effect
recently came from the depart
ment to the Review.
in other words, if a subscriber
takes the paper for few months
from the postoffice and then de-
cides that he would like to cheat
the publisher by refusing the
paper and likewise refusing to
pay what he justly owes, not on
ly must the publisher lose what
the subscribes owes him, but if
the paper continues to go to the
subscribers address while the
financial difference is being ad-
justed, the collected papers are
fired back to the Office of origin
with two-cents due on each one,
and if the publisher refuses to
pay this (which is more than the
profit on the paper in the first
place. he is threatened with dis
barment from the mails.
And that the condition facing
the free press of the United
States today!
1t looks to me to be about time
for the publishers, who have so
long boosted the politicians as a
labor Of love, to send someone to
Washington who will make some
pretense of looking after their
interests. The trend of legisla-
ton for several years past has
been against the newspapers, as
