Reishus' Nephew Makes Correction.
Dear Editor Independent:
In the editorial department of your
last weeks issue appeared a para
graph, which, for one so brief, con.
tanned surprising number of mis-
statements. You say that in the last
two years the Register of Deeds has
given fat job to nearly every men,
Der of his family, having employed in
his Office a daughter, two sons and a
nephew. Now as am the only nephew
he has in the city, I take it you refer
to me and I am, therefore, the libeled
one. Permit me to say that I have
never worked in d county Office, and,
please Heaven, I never shall. I much
prefer to work in some place where
my feeble efforts are appreciated, if
it's all the same to you. Further I am
in a position to know that in the last
nine months, one of the two sons re-
ferred to has been on the pay roll just
little better than a month. I am not
prepared to speak on the other con-
illusions you have drawn in this and
previous issues, but might I not sug-
gest, in friendly way, that, if they
have been acquired with as little re-
gard for details as those have men,
toned, your editorial will scarcely
have the desired effect.
Yours truly,
FRITJOF E. REISHUS.

WESTERN north DAKOTA
SHOULD Be REPRESENTED.

There is only one position for the people Of this
district to take, and that is to support Andrew
Miller for United States senator Miller is g resi-
dent Of the slope; he is intimately acquainted with
its problems; he has helped fight many Of it's bat.
ties; he knows what assistance it needs and If
sent to Washington, he will see that it is put on
the map.
Furthermore, his record as attorney general, to
which position he has been elected for three sue
cessive terms, shows that he has the ability to
complsl what this western empire needs. As at
torney general he has enforced the law fearlessly
against the railroads and the powerful corpora
tons as well as against other offenders. He in
stituted the famous coal rate cases against the
500, the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific,
which were decided by the state supreme court in
favor Of the people, thereby saving the people i'm
mense sums each year in freight rates on coal.
This is only one of the many illustrations of his
successful battles for the people.
If the people of Western North Dakota believe
that they are entitled to representation at Wash
ington they should vote to a man for Miller for

ST. IGNAT|US LADIES
ARE ALIVE IN THE CAUSE

The st. Ignatius ladies are
alive to the cause of equal suf-
frage and had the distinction last
week Of having General Ros-
allie Jones and "Col." Ida Craft
of the New York suffragists
present and addressing a meet
ing held at that place. The
Mission ladies have an organ
ization and are working earnestly
in the cause, something the Ro-
nan women should be doing if
they wish the amendment to the
constitution to carry.
Just why no open interest is
taken in this matter in Roman by
the fair sex is difficult to under
stand, as they express themselves
favorably, are as intelligent as in
other localities and for a time
were enthusiastic in the matter,
but are not up and doing as they
should be. Get busy, ladies, and
show your colors.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING
ABOUT SELLING CREAM

A correspondent asks the following
questions about marketing cream.
In selling cream, about wat test is
most profitable to the farmer andwhy
A test from 30 per cent to 35 pei
cent is considered good test. Any
separator will skim thoroughly at that
per cent if properly run. BY skimming
rich cream it will leave more skim
milk on the farm for feeding purposes
and also save transporting so much
skim milk to and from the factory.
A five gallon can of IS per cent cream
will contain about 14.5 lbs. of butter
fat and 27.5pounds of skim milk, while
a gallon can of 20 per cent cream
will contain about s.5 pounds of butter
fat and 33.5 pounds of skim milk.
When selling to local dealer would
it be necessary to have a tester
or can you give me sufficient informa-
ton regarding the testing so l may
know when it is tested correctly.
There is no reliable way for a farm
making the test. The souring of the
cream will not otherwise affect the
er to tell what his cream will test ex-
cept by means of the Babcock tester.
AS compared with present prices,
how much should farmer get for his
butter fat.
That will depend upon his local mar
ket which varies greatly. At present
July IA, a farmer should get at the
creamery from % to 27 cents per
pound of butter fat if the cream is
first grade.
Does cream test any more when it is
sweet than when sour? Why?
Often sweet cream will test higher
owing to the fact that more uniform
sample can be taken from the can when
percentage of test. 81
AS we have to almost give cream
and butter away, can you suggest any
plan for better market; that is for
a first class product?
If one does not have access to an
ice cream or cheese factory, the best
plan is to have the cowsfresh in Oc.
tober, so they will give their largest
flow during the season of the highest
prices. The cows can then be dry
during the hot summer months wher
prices of dairy products are always

see no immediate prospect in sight but
the abandonment of their homesteads
and unconditional surrender. N
Right now, the expenditure of less
than $4,000 would install the concrete
drops and headgates on the big lateral
ditch that is already constructed to
supply water to 5000 acres of fertile
homestead lands in the Valley View
section southwest of Poison. Less
than $4,000 would build the $50 foot
syphon necessary to bring the water
from the big ditch already built on the
north side of the Jocko to 1000 acres
of Indian allotments on the south side
Of the stream.
While Rome burned, Nero fddled-
while the Indians and the white set
tiers on the Flathead lands are being
ruined, the powers that be at Wash
ington are passing resolutions to have
law clerks in the attorney generals
office spend months in investigating
the constitutional limitations with
which they are seeking to nullify the
mere pittance appropriated for carry
ing on a great work.
Not in spirit of unfriendly criti-
cism, for we know his intent is good,
but we do believe that Senator Meyers
should not have surrendered his right
full place, as chairman of the confer
ence committee, at the captious oppo-
sition, based on ignorance of actual
conditions, of the enemies of the Flat
head irrigation project -Missoulian
The Pioneer gives hearty assent to
all the above and simply wishes to
add this paragraph.
Had the original measure which
opened the Flathead and provided for
the construction of an irrigation sys-
tenn been so drawn as TO not leave the
question an open one, then everybody
who is interested in and on the Flat
head would never have had an occa-
sion to feel that the white settlers and
Indians were being "crucified." The
writer of the above Missoulian article
in all probability, drafted the bill
opening the reservation and it seems
to great many of us here on the said
reservation, that he overlooked the
principal point when was not speci-
fially provided that the system should
be completed and the money provided
for at the time of passing the orig
inal bill.

STATE FAIR WILL Be
A GREAT STOCK SHOW

Beef cattle brought to the
Montana State Fair from all
points in the state, as we'll as
from surrounding states, will
make the exhibition of stock at
Helena from Sept. Fl to 26, the
largest stock show in the North
west. The completion of the
Northern Pacific spur will give
ample unloading facilities for six
teen cars, while the Great Nor
thern platform will accommodate
twenty cars. All the large cat
tie owners of Montana have sig
nified their intention of bringing
their herds to the state fair,
where the animals can be COM
fortably cared for in the barns
which were remodeled last year.
Among the prominent exhibitors
will be George Slade, vice-presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific
railway; Harry Childs, of the
Yellowstone Park hotels; Sum-
mers Bohart, of the Gallatin val
ley, and P. H. Griffin, of Sunset.
Quite a few carloads of cattle
will be sent direct from the
North Dakota fair at Fargo for
competition in Montana.
Despite the fast that the cattle
divisions Of the Montana state
fair are open to worldwide COM
petition, it is the Montana cattle
that yearly win the blue ribbon,
demonstrating that cattle from
the Montana range are the
worlds best. The fair offers as
premiums this year in the cattle
divisions 81, 538;-for Shorthorns
$3.50; for Herfords 81, 700; for
Aberdeen-Angus $500; for Gallo
way $500; and for Red Pollard
$500; and $115 in other divisions.

Arlee, L, L. Long of Ravalli, and
Geo. H. Beckwith of St. Igna-
thus, school trustees, and S. R.
Logan, superintendent and clerk
of the board, met in Roman We'd
nesday and held a school meet
ing at which much routine busi-
ness was transacted. Among
other things it was practically
decided to put on another wagon
or two in Roman and haul the
scholars from southwest of town
and from the Glacier View Sec
tion into town the coming year.
This would do away with the
Glacier View school, which is
said to be satisfactory to all in
that district, as it would give the
scholars there the benefit of a
graded school the coming year
and to some afford them the
privilege of attending the high
school.
The contract for supplying
wood to the Roman and adjoining
schools was let to Carr & Peck,
their bid being $3.50 per rick for

SUPREME COURT
UPH0LDS LAW

OOnSJlCuClOnallCy OF the lnlCl-
ative and referendum amend
ment Incorporated into the state
constitution in 1906, has been
affirmed unanimously by the
supreme court, upon the broad
grounds that there had been SUBJ
stantial, though not literal, COM
pliance with the provisions of the
law in the procedure for the
adoption of the amendment on
which the court bases it's de-
cision. Only two points were
in volved. One, that the initia-
tive and referendum should have
been submitted as two instead of
as one amendment. The second
point Of attack was that the con-
stitution requires all proposed
amendments to be published for
a period of three months pre-
ce eding the election, in at least
one newspaper in each county of
the state. 1t was contended this
had not been done, in that the
daily newspapers published the
notice only once a week for thir-
teen weeks instead Of daily for
ninety days.
''The question:" said the SUI
preme court of the first point
raised, is not whether it is pos
sible to condemn, but whether it
is possible to uphold, and we
stand committed to the rule that
no statute will be declared uncon-
stitutional unless its nullity is
placed, in our judgment, beyond
reasonable doubt.
OF the second point raised the
court says, in part: IF publi-
cation of a proposed amendment
was one of the successive steps
in it's adoption, or if universal
notice of the proposed amend
ment throughout the state before
the election was the sinequa non
to the valid adoption of such
amendment, then some found
alton would be laid for argument
that the slightest defect in pub
lication would defeat the effort
to amend, but neither of these
premises can be instituted upon.
No one can insist that in every
detail the proceedings for pub
lication of the initiative and re-
ferendum amendment did not
substantially comply with the re-
quirements constitutionally."
All members of the court par
ticipated in the writing of the
decision.

Assessor Dan Currie furnishes
the Pioneer with a summary Of
the crop and stock statistics of
Missoula county, as shown by
the reports of the several dep

the time of making the 1914 as
sessment. Each farmer was
called upon to answer the in
quiries respecting the number of
acres he had in cultivation dur
ing 1918 and the number Of
bushels of grain and tons of
hay harvested during the past
year. Also the number of head
of cattle and hogs butchered or
sold, and the following figures
are the totals in each class.
The report is an approximate
statement and is as follows:

Seventh, it enables so many Democratic
members of Congress to say that they have
served the country and opened the door to an
era of oTerdowing prosperity, when they have
merely traded off their souls for small mess
of colicky pottage
Eighth, it enables the national bankers to
turn their S750,000O00 of due bills into a
national institution, equal in honor to the
$346, 100000 Greenback due bills of Aunt
Sam. The exceeding beauty of this feature
of the new Money law can only be appre-
ciated by those who devote few minutes to
its contemplation.
Ninth, it perpetuates the principal that pri-
vate citizens shall control the national fnan-
ces.
1t would be far less dangerous and undemo-
cratic to surrender the control of the army
and the navy to the buccaneers Of Wall
Street.

resources and whose productiveness are the

and gives him all the powers Of Government
to rob the producer.
That's the new law: that was the old law.
That was what Jefferson and Jackson fought:
that was what the Democratic party said it
was fighting.
Now that President Woodrow Wilson has
given the Money Power just what it bar
gained for, when it bought his nomination
and election, we Democrats take back every
thing we ever said against Wall Street,
against National Banks against the Money
Power, against predatory wealth, against
class legislation, against Mammon, against
Plutocracy, against the Republican party,
against, Beelzebub, and against hell.
We take it all back. We retract. We apollo
gize. We tender our regrets.
In fact, we deny that we said anything
against any of those parties and things that
gave just cause of complaint
Our remarks were made in the heat Of
debate, upon the impulse of the moment, and
were meant in a Pickwickian sense only.
Another superlative beauty Of the new law
is, that the Republican party has now no
reason for continued existence We have done
more for Special Privilege than it has ever
done and Special Privilege will now adopt
us, and disinherit the other twin

FIRST of all, it is beautiful because one Of
John D. Rob-eyerybody's professors
wrote it.
Second, it is beautiful because it contradicts
such serried array of Democratic platforms,
speeches, editorials, essays, promises, pledges,
and records,
Third. it is beautiful because it shows what
an ass Andrew jackson was when he rallied
at the Money Power, fought the National
Bank, dismissed Duane for his refusal to
remove the deposits, and appointed Roger
B. fancy.
Fourth, it is beautiful because it shows
what al .diotic book is Bryans '"The First

Fifth, it makes such complete demonstra-
ton Of the silly notions of John c. Calhoun,
Thomas II. Benton, Thomas Jefferson under
teachers and other ante -deluvian statesmen
who did not enjoy the advantage of studying
finance like Jacob Schff, Robert Lowery; and
Woodrow Wilson-and Senator Solomon
Smith.
Sixth, it makes the complete surrender of
the Democratic Party to Wall Street. and it's
acceptance Of every financial principle it
