Rucker in Washington


a aseveral weeks visit at home and
around over the district. He
visited friends in all the counties
as extensively as he could. be-
ing compelled to stay at home to
look after public business which
came to him here. There are
some weighty questions before
congress and Judge Rucker is
.devoting his time mainly to
.analyzing them thoroughly and
be prepared when action on
these is taken.
He has always been more or
less connected with the publicity
bill and as every one knows it
was mainly through his untiring
efforts that it was passed, but
like all bills, it is not perfect and
considerable time will be divert
ed to curing the defeats. He
has introduced an amendment
to his bill requiring publicity
|of campaign expenses which
I'VE cannot help but think a
valuable feature and that
bis, that every candidate for Con-
gress shall report to the federal
authorities the names of his op-
ponents and another amendment
kinsuring sworn statements from
candidates to be filed at the
proper time giving the amount
Eof their campaign expenses and
what the money was spent for.
kAs it is now there is no authority
fobliged to keep track of the
candidates nor to see that sworn
Statements of expense accounts
Eare made according to law or
Rather according to the spirit of
Ithe law supposed to regulate the
lmatter. 1t will be necessary if
Ethe judge gets his amendment
Ithrough for a candidate toreport
1.-The names of all his opponents
and q record Of them win be
made in Washington and under
the amendment each one will
have to make a statement of the
amount he has spent and what
he spent it for whether he is
successful or not, and each one
will be required to send a copy
of the same to each of his op-
ponents a specified length Of
time before the election. This

where candidates of different

White House Wedding

Whlte House wedding
The 18th. White House we'd
ding was celebrated on Novem-
Der 25th. by the marriage of
Miss Jessie Wilson the daughter
of the President of the United
States to Mr.. Francis B. Sayre
which was solemnized at 4:30
O'Clock. The ceremony was
simple yet brilliant and was per-
formed by Rev. Sylvester Beach
of Trenton, New Jersey, Presby-
terian, the former pastor of the
Wilson family. Thus the one
master event in the social life of
the Wilson administration has
passed into history unless it be
duplicated by some lucky young
man who may win another of
the Presidents daughters, there
being two left from which to
select.
A White House marriage has
always been a social event of
great brillianey and this was not
only no exception in that respect
but probably surpassed in sim
pEcity Of performance and
magnifcence of detail all others.
The Wilson's were more frank
with the public than has been
the rule in White House wed
dings heretofore because they
freely took the public into their
confidence in the rehearsals by
which they were drilled for the
ceremony. The number 13 j:
considered by the President as
his lucky number and when
ever he travels, if possible he oc
cupies room 13 at the hotel whert
he stops. He became presiden
lin 1918 and when IL is figureC
out for him he is sure to win

would not be averse to tha

other daughters marry or not
Regardless Of any disappoint
ment which may await him il
this particular everybody wishe
the young couple long life an,
happiness.

(Havre Plaindealer)

Despite lobbies, President Wilson
IS determined to do little business
for old Pro Bono Publico.
1t will avail entrenched privilege
little by intimating through it's SEN
atorial mouthpieces that President
w ilson is the biggest lobbyist in
Washington. The common people
have long been without the, citadal
where laws are made. There have
been altogether too many senators
OF the stripe of ex-senator Jos. M.
Dixon of Montana in the Senate for
the welfare of the people. The re-
naming representatives of the in
terests in the senate may rail and
storm and seek to place President
Wilson in an obnoxious light before
the public, but all their efforts will
but serve to emphasize attention to
the condition that the large body of
the citizenship of the country has
grown sick and tired of. Without
the use of the megaphone or tie
black news headlines telling that he
demands square deal for every
American, President Wilson never
theless is insisting that the faith he
kept with the people and for those
who seek to evade keeping these
pledges he proposes making their
political pathway rocky by telling
their constituents just what manner
of men they are.

Press Agents
Are Active

The clever press agents of the
Great Northern are working their
wits over union hours these days,
to draw the attention of blase east
erners to Glacier National Park.
Sundays Minneapolis Journal con-
tanned deftly told press agent yarn
to the effect that Dawn Mist, real
Blackfeet Princess, had forsaken the
tepee of her father on the great re-
servation, to become the 'heloo' girl
in the hotel or big Log Medicine
Lodge" as the Blackfeet Indians
call it, at Glacier Park. Blackfeet
Indian boys are employed as bell
hops at the big new hotel and an
Indian woman is among the list of
housekeepers. T b metropolitan
papers will welcome this summer
resort stuff during the dog days and
Jim and Louee Hill will turn it into
dollars--and no one will be loser.
Glacier Park is certainly the best
advertised resort in America today.

at the Park

Mr.. and Mrs. James Miller. Mr.,
and Mrs. r. L. Taft, Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Goeddertz and Mr.. and Mrs.
M. G. Peterson of Kevin, and Miss
Maude Davis of Sweet Grass autoed
to Glacier Park Saturday, in Mr..
Miller's Mitchell and Mr.. Taft's
Studebaker. The trip was made in
good time. Mr.. and Mrs. Taft and
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson returned on
Monday morning, leaving Glacier
Park at q a. m. and arriving at the
Cut Bank river at IL a. M, the dis
tance being IS miles. The drive
from Browning to Glacier Park is a
beautiful one, they declare; about
10 miles of the run being made on
the new road from Glacier Park
station to st. Mary's Lake, which is
a very fine highway.
The only drawback of the whole
trip was the crossing of the Cut
Bank river near Cut Bank. Here
the machines had to be pulled across
on account of high water.
Mr.. Brewster of the Brewster
Bros. Transportation Co.. of Glacier
Park, said to the party: You peo-
pie OF Cut Bank cannot realize the
amount of travel that bridge across
the Cut Bank would bring to your
town and the amount of advertising
you would get, not to speak of the
money spent at the hotels and other
business places. / have many in
qulries from people at Havre, Great
Falls, Glasgow and other points.
even In Canada, from people who
want to drive an auto to the park
and want to know how they can
cross the river at Cut Bank. The
county commissioners should by all
means give you people bridge and
incidentally accommodate M a vi
people from other parts as we'll as
the people of this section Of Teton

MIR. Taft declares that the people
of Cut Band and vicinity do not
realize that they have unique and |
palatial hotel. one of the best in the
United States, within two hours
ride of the town.

among the first to register at the

Singing Slap at
Health Officers

A local correspondent o1
{ the Great Falls Tribune ad-
ministered a singing slap tc
the local board of health and
a black eye to the town OF
Cut Bank, in the following
article. which as been cop
led by Kalispell and other
state papers.
Cut Bank, Montana, June 13-
I small pox epidemic is raging here.
Five persons are reported i'll in war;
ious parts of the community. The
disease began in the home of Jack
Britton. Mr.. Brltton had just re-
turned from st. Paul few days
before the epidemic attacked him.
1t is thought that he came in con-
tact with the germs during his trav-
ell. This occurred two weeks back;
since then four others have become
infected and number of others ex-
posed. Lax enforcement of the
quarantine laws and regulations is
given as the cause of the gre at
spread of the terrible epidemic. The
citizens have become indignant with
the laxity and have forced the au-
thorities to commence taking pre-
cautionary measures.
The Cut Bank Board of Health
has submitted the following state
ment to the Pioneer Press:
The above article, written by
local correspondent of the Great
Falls Tribune, was either conceived
IN deliberate malice or iuexcusible
thoughtlessness.
Every case of small pox in this
city has been either removed from
the city or quarantined as soon as a
diagnosis of the same was made and
others were quarantinea upon sus-
picion.
There is no law In the State of
Montana requiring the quarantine
of small pox, and this matter is op-
tional with the local board of health.
The State Board of Health holds
that quarantine is not the proper
method of combating this dease,
but that each and every one should
be vaccinated.

ICEBERG LAKE, NATIONAL PARK
DO WATERS OF ARCTIC FLOW TO THE ROCKIES?

Glacier Park Station, Montana
Indians recently caught in Iceberg
Lake, Glacier National Park, spe-
cies of trout identified as the Salvel-
inus Rossi, which hitherto has been
known only to occur in the Arctic
Ocean and geologists are wondering,
whether this strange body of fresh
water is not connected subterraneous-
ly with the icy waters of the far
north.
So far as is known the water of
Iceberg Lake, which is located in the
northern part of Glacier National
Park, a few miles from the Canadian
boundary, does not contain any notice

does not deter interested geologists
in advancing the theory that this par

1 Non utdSuFe wall OF car

You can cast a plumbline down a

you cannot tell how deep is the
grief Of mother with her dead
child in her lap.
You can calculate the distance of
a star but there no lenses or logar-
ithms by which to estimate the joy
OF two lovers. You can analyze
water, earth or gases and determine
their constituent parts, but you can
not get at the elements that COM

You can set the value in dollars
and cents upon the services of a
salesman or bricklayer, but you
cannot even approximate the value
OF an act of unselfsh helpfulness.
What is the price of a golden
deed! What pricemark shall we
put upon the act Of the fireman who
dies trying to save human being
in burning building, or of moth
er drowning that her baby mry be
rescued, Of the policeman shot at
his post of duty, of such as Regulus
or Nathan Hale?
There are sentiments before which
reason is dumb and even theology
is COMPOUNDED. Moses asked that
his own name be blotted from Je-

were not to be saved, and Paul de-
clared himself willing to be accused
for his brothers. sake.
There is not so tall an angel in
the human heart as self sacrifice.
There is no shine of sun, of lamps,
or of rose-cut diamonds, so dazzling

The other lakes OF Glacier National
Park contain dozen varieties of big

this is the first time any fish has been
taken from Iceberg Lake. 1t is said
this species never before has been
found except in the Arctic region. 1t
is a very large species, measuring
slightly more than two feet in length.
The distinguishing feature of it is
the shape and striation of the oper-
