Edward III. of England over Philip,
King of France, in 1916. The English
forces were estimated at $4,000, while
the French army was about 100. 900.
The first division of the former army
was commanded by the Prince of
Wales, and during the fighting he was
hard pressed. A message was sent to
Edward III, asking for help. is my

That congress is not going to help
us out of the plight in which those de
pendent upon the cotton crop have
cen plunged by the European war, is
now evident.
That is now apparent with finali y
that must convince the most credulous
and contiding nature.
Very well, then!
There is at least the advantage th2t
We know that we have nothing to ex-
pect.
| We have before pulled out of holes
infinitely deeper than this one witho X
a helping hand
We will do the same thing in the
present instance, and on record time.
The task already is well under way. It
will be completed with a minimum Ct
hardship upon the humblest factor il
| the southern states.
But the south will not let this NAM
moth congressional Punch and Judy
show, the curtain upon which has just
rung down, pass without it's lasting
lesson.
That lesson is that these people will
not soon again be fooled by promises,
nor be iigged along by brOadside as
surances that the government will
come to their rescue in other emery
cenies that may confront them.
For two months we have been treat
ed to a farce comedy of promises that
would be humorous if it were not
founded on deception
We were told there was anywhe e
from $lo000O,0O0 to S3O0,OO0,000 OF
emergency currency available to meet
an unprecedented crisis.
We were told its placing for tue
relief of farmers and business men
needing help was matter of detail
only soon arranged, soon executed
We were told to Danish worry and
LEAVE IT ALL TO WASHINGTON.
We followed that advice. What hap
pened?
After weeks Of buncombe, thrashing
around and conferences, the soothing
information comes that
Congress will do nothing whatever
of definite nature! That the cotton
states themselves must find the solu-

MONTFAUCON-A town of north
ern France, IS miles northwest Of
Verdun, half way between the valleys
of the Meuse and Aire, 23 miles from
the Belgian border, and but a few
miles east of the Argonne Forest. Il
was here that the body of Admiral Col
ligny, "the noblest victim" of the mas
sacre of ST. Bartholomew was hung
up by the heels on the gibbet. The
body was secretly taken from here to
Chantilly and buried in the parish
church without the head, which was
conveyed to Catherine de Medici The
Admiral had incurred the wrath OF
Catherine by endeavoring to draw the
king, Charles TX, into a war with
| Spain. Her attempt to have him as
sassinated Infatuated the Huguenots
and Catherine conceived the idea of
! killing their leaders and running the
Protestant party. 1t is estimated so,
| 600 were massacred in the whole o.
France.
CLERMONT-D E-L'OISE-A town Of
northern France, with about 1000 pop
ulation, IS miles west of Compiegns,
on the Breche, tributary of the Disc.
In the Middle Ages, so the legend goes,
two Irish girls, Maura and Bridge,
suffered martyrdom nearby, and were
buried in the cemetery of ,Nogent, il
Clermont Toward the end of the
18th century, a peasant lost a black
| COW that passed the night lying on til !
tomb of the Virgins. When the COW
was found, one side had turned white
Sometime later the COW again slept on
the tomb and it's other side was turned
white. The fame of the miracle spread
through all France and thousands of
| people came to see the COW and be
cured. Nogent became henceforth No-

ton. Those VINO formerly were eager
to lift the burden from our shoulders
are now fertile in advice as to how the
problem can be solved without the in
reference of Washington.
1t was a beautiful dream while IL
lasted. The awakening is a little rude.
But, thank the Lord! the south has
cared for itself in previous emerg-
encies and is fully capable of repeat
i ing the process in this emergency.
The shame of the thing is that We
have lost valuable time listening to the
siren song of congress. If we had been
told the truth, at first, instead of gulled
with verbal promissory notes, our
problem would already have three
fOurths been solved.
Never mind The south will not
forget.
Congress could willingly valorize
the silver of the western miners.
1t could pour millions and millions
of public money to which the south
contributed, into western irrigation
projects.
1t could appropriate millions and
send two cruisers to bring stranded
Americans back from Europe-which
was right.
1t could appropriate $97,OOO,OOO to
build railroad through Alaska, from
which it will be years in receiving a
cents compensation.
1t could scramble to the relief of
Wall street every time Wall street,
pinched, asked for help.
For probes" that ended in nothing,
for pork barrels" built to keep poll
ticians in congress, congress could
lavish millions.
But when confronted with the gray
est crisis in half century, when it
asked, not for uncOmpensating aid,
but for help with the best staple crop
in existence for absolute security
WE WERE TREATED TO A
DRAMA OF PROMISES WHICH END
ED IN A HOAX!
The farce is ended The curtain is
rung down. At last we know that
help cannot be expected from congress
Now to the task of working out our
own salvation. We have done it BE-
fore. We are better equipped to do il
again than ever in our history.

at his word when he said he meant to
restore order without bloodshed if
possible but by force if necessary.
Long before he came to Butte, min
ers and the rank and file of the citi-
zenry had welcome respect for
Dynamite Dan." His unceasing fight
on the political field and in the leg
islature on corporate influence, spec
ial privilege and Amalgamated inter-

ported out of committees in the house
which corporate influences sought to
smother there, that fight which gave
him the sobriquet Dynamite Dan,"
made him solid with all of the right

So it was that his proclamation was
