M|SS0ULA COUNTY SHOULD
EXHIBIT At STATE FAIR

The real purpose of the Mon
tana state fair is to attract new
settlers, encourage manufacture
iag and to interest investors. 1t
gives the state a modern spirit.
1t makes the farmer more sue
cessful and the stockmen more
enthusiastic. 1t tells of the
achievements made throughout
the year. 1t displays the most
perfect type of horses, cattle,
sheep and swine. 1t shows first
choice of grains and fruits, poul-
try and pet stock. The county
exhibits outrival and outshine in
arrangement and quality any
similar large fair or exposition in
the world. A state fair is a
mirror of that states prosperity,
growth and development.
The Montana state fair is one
Of the principal factors of the
states advertising in the devel-
opment of it's natural resources
a ID the influencing of people to
come to the state and help settle
it. The fair annually places be-
fore the world our exhibition of
p 'oducts and resources that
cause commendatory comments
everywhere.
1t is of an educational nature
and teaches people in all classes
of life that which allows them to
become more valuable to their
community and bring them bet-
ter returns for their labors.
In agricultural ideas and in
dustrial problems it stands high.
1t helps make Montana one of
the strongest states in the Union.
Here one learns to produce bet
ter types of live stock and make
his acres grow more.
Through competition at the
state fair, Montana now stands
supreme in grain raising, having
won a large proportion of nation
al sweepstakes prizes at inter-
national expositions in competi-
tion with the world.
AS the state fair helps the
state, a county exhibit at the
state fair helps that county. The
premiums are extremely liberal
and help toward the expenses of
same. The state laws are such
that counties may make appro-
priations for exhibits and dis
plays and the expense so divided
that no one person in a commun-
ity is heavily taxed.
Twenty-four out of thirty-four
counties had official exhibits at
the 1918 Montana state fair. The
entries jumped in 1912 from $3.50
to 1926 and every division showed
a substantial increase. The at
tendance gained 20 per cent.
The out of the state visitors are
increasing each year. At last
years fair a special train was run
out of the Twin Cities. Eight
eastern newspaper men from
New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago papers visited our fair.
The fair each year is being cor
sidered more and more as a
gathering together and annual
vacation of state folks and Mon

and the interest taken in many
of the cities was almost equal to
a presidential election. Many
problems were before the voters
in many of the cities and towns
and rivalry for municipal honors
added interest in others where
the questions were not so impor-
tant. From the results, there
is very little consolation for the
progressive or Bull Moose party,
not a town reporting the success
of that party. From present in
dications that party is dead one
in Montana. Party lines were
not drawn in a great many of the
towns so far heard from, but the
socialists were especially active
wherever that party has an or
ganization. In only two cities
did they make any progress -
Butte and Missoula.
In Butte the socialists elected
three members of the board of
aldermen, enough to give them
continued control Of the city.
They had six members who held
over and the council now stands,
socialists nine, democrats seven,
with the mayor also socialist.
In Missoula the socialist can
didate for mayor, Andrew Get
chell, and the candidate for COM
missioner, Dale Hodson, were
elected. Getchell beating Ron
aid Higgins IS votes, and Hod-
son winning over T.. A. Price,
present incumbent, by 156 votes.
Those familiar with the situation
in Missoula say that Getchell was
elected not because he was a
socialist, but in spite of this fact.
The factions in the Garden City
were so bitter after the primary
election that Cancellation was i'm
possible and many Of those who
voted for Woody, Anderson,
Smith, Smead and Newcomb,
absolutely refused to vote for
Higgins and voted for Getchell
to show their refusal to accept
the domination of the gang"
as the Higgins element is called.
1t is thought that the full social
ist vote was polled at the primary
election when Getchell received
73S votes and Hodson 662. Mon
day the Getchell vote was 975
and Hodson 1,O30. There were
2, 996 registered voters and only
1915 voted, showing that many
refrained from voting for some
cause. The successful candi-
dates are spoken of as men very
highly respected and it is to be
hoped they will give Missoula a
good, clean, economical admins
tration. Those two men are in
absolute control of the city's
affairs and they will be held
alone responsible for the condi-
ton one year hence.
In Helena it was a three-cor-
ne1ed fight between the relut-
lical,s, democrats and Bull Moos-
e,s. There were 2,186 votes
c st for mayor, and of these Lin
coin Working, republican, re-
caived $40; Steele, democrat,
IT'S; Haywood, progressive, 424;
Kain, socialist, IA, The dem
ocrats elected five aldermen and
the republicans two.
In Bozeman it was an even
break, the democrats and repub-
licans electing two aldermen
each.
In Great Falls it was victory
for the aldermen seeking a re-
election and three democrats and
two republicans were reelected.
the council now stands a tie,
five republicans and five demo-
Gratis, with the mayor a Bull
Moose. .-

EUROPE'S NEW BOCIE !!

EOR centuries, during the Middle
= Ages, the bogy fright of Europe
was summed up in the phrase "The
Turk, the Devil aud the Comet"
Churches and people prayed to be
kept from the three-fold peril; mothers
and nurses used this hobgoblin threat
to still refractory child; and the big
ger grown-ups had the shiyers when
ever some credulous one reported the
sight of cleaning scimeter, a queer
celestial streak, or a glimpse of "Old
Nick" in proper person, hoofs, tail,
horns and sulphur breath!
But now the Turks sharp teeth are
mostly drawn; the comet makes an oc-
casional incident in the sky that amuses
the observer; and as for "Auld Clootie"
why, some folks declare he's been
dead this long while!
But here on a sudden it is all back
again, this Turk, Devil and Comet
business, or at any rate, its equivalent
terror-the Germans and the Zep-
plins, doing duty for all three!
Stout English hearts are especially
quaking these days lest the Kaiser send
these later Turks from the Rhine with
their bomb-dropping comets, and
the devil generally
But it will pass as did the other, for
the Turk never did devour Europe
quite, the comet never did strike, and
the sOoty appearance of his Satanic
majesty has never yet been certainly
established.
So, too, will the Germanic bubble
be pricked in due time War Lord,
assassin Zepplins and the rest, and
! Europe will enjoy long, long surcease
from the Kaiser and his wars alarms. =

CERMANIC "CULTURE" /!


WYE have heard much boasting about
W the lofty German ''kultur" that
was to illuminate and exalt the world.
What have the high priest of that
vaunted cult, the Kaiser and his war
crowd, so far shown as net result of
their propaganda of world Culture?
Here are few of its blessings.
Peaceful Belgium trampled into the
very dust; even its unarmed citizens
butchered in some instances; its cities
vindictively despoiled and burned; a
half dozen of its historic cathedrals,
venerated for centuries, purpOsely
sacked; millions of piratieal tribute laid
upon the desolated, and now starving
land; and finally, the Inauguration of
the most awful conflict in all history
which will before it end destroy two
millions of men and work widespread
ruin to Europe which no single genera
ton to come can repair!
But this couture" discloses its most
uniquely beneficial and civilizing fea-
ture in dropping deadly bombs from
Zepplin airshirs in the night time upon
defenceless citizens in their beds-men,
women and children alike.
Twenty more of these messengers Of
Germanic culture, were dropped
upon Paris the other day, killing four
persons and wounding fourteen.
One bomb just missed a hospital and
another which fortunately failed to ex-
plode, fell between two trains packed
with passengers!
That famous Gothic pile, the Notre
Dame of Paris, was purposely struck
by several missiles, and set on fire and
would have suffered still greater dam
age had not another bomb failed to ex-
pIode.
The Kaiser's new gospel is being
spread as was the equally benefcient
gospel of an earlier madman, Mahomet,
1900 years ago-with the torch and the
sword
If Europe mus" be scourged by
another bloody-minded conqueror, in
Gods name let it be the simon pure ar
ticle Of heather barbarism, and not
this maudlin, blasphemous hypocracy
of the Kaiser's that after such brutal
deeds as these, bids his land sing ''Nun
dunket allie Got" Now let all men
thank Cod!
To be frank about the matter, the
Visigoth Alaric, who imposed this Ger
manic Couture" away back in the fifth
century, was the softer-hearted bar
barfan of the two, for in his ravaging
course through Thrace and Macedonia,
he at least spared that classic home of
learning and art-Athens, while, this
Alaric of the twentieth century, the
Kaiser, deliberately laid lovely Louvain
in ashes, and wrecked the worlds mas
terpiece of Gothic architecture-the
beautiful Cathedral at Rheims!

BLEASE WILL "COME BACK"
Says Anderson Man Who Was Cred
tied With Re-Electing Him.
Anderson Mail, 18th.

Anderson Mail, 18th.
."Blease is not dead, neither is
Bleaseism,'' said Mr., V. B. Cheshire
today in summing up the defeat OF
his chief and most OF those who ran
ior office on the Blease ticket. "He
was once defeated in Newberry coun-
ty, but he came back and went
higher after starting over again. He
will take another start and win out.
He will yet be United States senator.
Watch Blease."
Continuing, Mr.. Cheshire, said:h
"About month before the election,
| wrote an article and sent to an An
derson paper. In this article said
that if the anti-Blease people want
ed to get rid of Blease, it would be
hest for them to send him to- Wash
ington as senator and get him out
of the State; to defeat him would
mean that he would come back
two years later and run for governor
and would be elected. Now that ne
is defeated, l predict that he will run
against Manning two years from now
and will be elected governor and
two years later offer for Tillman's
seat and come back"

LEXINGTON MAN
is SHOT AND KILLED
Henry Sharpe Meets Death at the
Hands Of George Berfoot.
The State.

The State.
Lexington, Sept. 14.-Henry Sharpe,
a young white man, was shot and in
stantly killed about 5 o'clock yester-
day afternoon by George Berfoot also
white, the scene OF the homicide being
on the plantation of Capt. Jas. E. Dun
bar, about 16 miles south of the
court house. the weapon used was
3S-calibre revolver. Five shots were
fired. four OF which took effect. One
shot took effect in the right arm just
below the elbow; the second entered
the right side from the rear under the
arm; the third entered the right leg,
and fourth the left leg just below
the knee.
Sheriff Sim J Miller was notified of
the tragedy and together with Solici-
tor George Bell Timmermon and his
deputies, left for the scene. The body
of young Sharpe was found lying in
uS1u dUOuI oVU gd4 uS 14O4n luS 1857
dence Of Mr.. Dunbar. Berfoot was
found at his home about three-quar-
ters OF mile from the scene of the
shooting, where ne was arrested by
the sheriff
Sharpe was young man, less than
80 years OF age. He was held in the
highest esteem by Capt. Dunbar, in
whose employ he was and in whose
home he>Iived for seeral months. Ber-
foot has wife and nine or 10 chill
dren.
In.view of the fact that the Septem-
ber. term OF the court of general ses-
sions opens next Monday, it is hardly
probable that any effort will be made
for the release of Berfoot until court
couyenes. There are number Of
murder charges to be heard at the ap-
preaching term, chief among which
is that OF James Clarke, charged with
the killing Of G. Levi Risn several
months ago.

warrants against Hammock and Linder-
felt, whom the jury specifically points
out as the militia's commanding officers.
District Attorney J. J. Hendrick of
Trinidad announced that his Office would
begin the criminal proceedings II they
were requested. 1t is understood here
that wholesale indictments against strik-
ers in the tent colony at Ludlow and
Forbes are also demanded by the operat-
ing companies as the result OF the battle
Of April 20. and that at Forbes a few
days later.
The jury returned two separate yer
diets. In the second report It found that
Louis Tikas, Private Alfred Martin and
six strikers killed In the fighting which
preceded the fire came to their death
by bullet wounds in the battle between
nilitiamen under command OF Major
Hammock and Lieut. Lnderfelt and mine
guards on one side, and strikers on the
other"
The verdict makes no distinction in the
case of Tikas. who according to testimony
adduced before the jury during its in
vestigation at the militias camp at Lud-
low. was nominaliy the prisoner OF the
guardsnen when he met his end.
The autopsy performed upon his body
showed that three bullets entered his
back and that his scalp had been laid
open to the bone by the blow of blunt
instrument.
The verdict of the coroncr's jury in
tho Ludlow case. the District Attorney
said tonight. seemed to bring the matter
clearly within the civil law.
The verdict in the case OF the women
ard children in full was as follows:
We. the jury. find that thu deceased
came TO their deaths by asphyNia;ion or
fire or both caused by the burning Of the
tents of the Ludlow tent colony and the
fire on the tents was started by militia
men under Major. Hammock and Lieut..
