ONE THING THAT
y T. AAAh
MAKES \ TOWN

The governor. has issued procIa
nation setting aside June 2Gth as
Good Roads day in this state ano
urging all to do their part in i'm
proving the highways on that day.
To the people Of Phillips county the
proclamation should be of special
Importance and especially to those
who are in business in Malta. People
travelling report without any eNcep-
tions Phillips county has the poorest
roads OF any county in the state and
no one has raised the question. We
are constantly loosing trade from
the north country and Canada on &C
count Of the condition the roads are
permitted to remain in month after
month. The same condition exists
in the south country especially in
the Leedy and Sun Prairie country
In the north part of the county
trade goes to Harlem because the.
roads to that town are kept in first
class condition, although several
miles longer haul than to Malta.
Poor roads are a knock against
any country and community and that
is one thing we do not want in Phil
lips county. The people OF Saco had
an exceptionally bad piece of road
leading into town and last summer
the citizens were losing trade on &C
count of the impossible condition OF
this particular lane, and they turned
out and put several inches of gravel
on the gumbo, which gives them a
good road under all kinds OF weather
| conditions. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to drive along most any of the
county roads and find a wagon bro1l
en- down on account of chuck holes
and rocks.
Good roads have made more towns
than any other one thing, and it
Malta Malta had the roads it should
| have leading here it would do
| great deal more business. 1t is i'm
possible for the county to give us
| the roads in one or two years that
we need and should have, but if the
citizens of the town will show those
in the country that we are as much
interested in the road proposition as
they are, and all get out several days
each month there is no linn itas to
what can be accomplished.

with high honors. The class poem
was delivered by Miss Mile Caves
and was very clever and delivered in

and this was masterful effort and
excellently rendered by this popular
young man. The class prophecy was
given in a creditable manner by Miss
Anna Lee Survant. Miss Margaret
kirton gave the class will in a
pleasing manner and the closing ad-
dress was given by the validictorian

SUNDAY SERVICE APPRECIATED

The new Sunday service on this
division of the Great Northern will
certainly be appreciated by the trave
ling public. The railroad company
seem willing to comply with the ord
er of the Montana railroad commits
sion as a bulletin was issued only
last Sunday for No. 2 to common
ce making regular stops at Saco for
passengers from points on the Butte
division south of Havre. All the
newspapers along the line have well
coined the new service with the one
exception of Billy Rhodes in the
Glasgow News. Well, Billy was
never known to support Sunday base
ball or Sunday trains so we could ex-
pect nothing more from him. His
contention is that Sunday trains work
hardship on the railroad boys.
The company will certainly have to
pay the employees Sunday as well as
any other day and as they are not
kicking, Billy had better take his
medicine and ride on the Sunday
cars with the rest of us.

CONSIDERS 1T A CLASSIC.

Mr.. Hughes tariff declaration in his
speech OF acceptance is regarded by
the Greensboro, N. c., Daily News as
being a classic. The News has this
TO say about 1t:
Upon the great republican doctrine
of protection of American industry
Mr.. Hughes has produced what ap-
pears to us to be a presentation des-
tined to become classic--even when
we consider that the subject has been
exhaustively treated by many of the
foremost minds our country has pro-
duced. It stamps Mr.. Hughes as a re-
publican of the republicans; thorough
ly indoctrinated with the cardinal
tenet Of the creed, and able to defend
it with a power that will invoke the
utmost possible skill of the democrats
in assault"
While Mexico or the foreign policy
of the Wilson administration will be
a large issue in the present campaign,
the tariff issue will not down. The
tariff has to do with the very life of
the nation, it's prosperity and perpet-
uity. Hence it is going to nightly
interest voters. The American people
want a prosperous country, and they
want its prosperity to be stable. They
know that protection has never failed
to give the United States a stable
prosperity.

BRITISH PROTECTION GOSPEL.

Low wages are twice cursed; they
curse both him that gives and him
that takes" This statement by Sir
Leo Chiozza Money, the English econ
omist. who before the war was a free
trader, deserves to take it's place be-
side President McKinleys "a cheap
coat makes a cheap man." It is the
introduction to an article in one of
the leading London newspapers on the
necessity of high wages and large pro-
duction II England is to keep her
place in the worlds markets in the
keen competition which is sure to fol :
low the war, and while Sir Leo con-
fines himself to the question of large
scale production, he has given out the
text from which English business men
are daily preaching the gospel of pro-
lection, Sir Leo himself ii is only fair
TO say has been converted to protec-
ton in the stern school of war
One of the best sermons on Sir Leo's
text is preached by Mr.. T. b. John
ston, the managing director of Messrs
Pountney & Co.. the Bristol Pottery
who says:
AS necessary condition of large
scale production we must have
large market, and that is where under
our free trade system we are so out
rageously handicapped America has
her own protected market of 100 mil
lions, and in addition she has the free
trade market of Great Britain of 40
millions In which to sell Germany
has her protected market of 20 mill
lions. and has also our market of 40
millions.
America has, therefore, 14O million
possible customers, and Germany has
ITO million possible customers Against
that we have not even our own mar
ket of 40 millions secured to us, for we
foreign nation which chooses to dump
its goods here.
Therefore the British manufacture
er who launched out into large capital
expenditure to enable him to produce
on large scale in competition with
these two countries, with their we'll
protected home markets. would be an
idiot, and that is the reason why a
change in our fiscal system is absol-
utely necessary If the conditions of Ia
Dor are to be improved in this coun-
try"

HUGE MINE sToPE ON DISPLAY

Visitors at the United States ma
tional museum in Washington, are
expressing much interest sin the new
copper mine exhibit recently installed
by the division of mineral technology
This exhibit consists of what Is
known as a stope from the Copper
Queen mine at Bisbee, Ariz., one of
the celebrated copper mines of the
world, and is a donation from the OPP
Grating company. 1t shows the meth
cd of procedure in this mine, which
was opened in 1880, and has been a
significant producer ever since, yield
ing around 1O0,000,0O0 pounds of me-
tallic copper, upward of 100000
ounces of silver, 100000 pounds of
lead and 10000 ounces of gold annual
ly A further evidence of the enor-
nous proportions which this mine
has reached is indicated by the fact
that the mine as a whole has more
than 20 miles of railway trackage I'M
foreground.
The national museum exhibit is one
of the slopes or subdivisions, which
make up the vast system of workings
in the Copper Queen from which the
million and odd tons of ore are taken
out of the mine each year were OBJ
tanned.
The stope on exhibition is not mere
ly model, but an actual piece of the
real mine, removed bodily, ore faces,
timbering chutes and all from its or
iginal settings to a room in the divi-
sion of mineral technology in the
older national museum building. Ac-
as the visitor passes
through the entrance into the museum
mine he finds himself, to all intents
and purposes, in exactly the surround
ings in which he would be placed were
he to enter the Copper Queen mine
cage at Bisbee, and descend the shaft
of feet into the depths of the
earth to the working level and enter
is that he need not enter the dusty
cage nor descend to the bottom of the
shaft; all that trouble and possibly no
little fear is eliminated he merely
walks through a door.
The stope in the museum forms
room-like enclosure, with a roof of
heavy planks, walled in on two sides
oy solid ore, on the third by broken
1re held back by tagging of timbers,
md on the fourth by barren rock
the boundary wall of the vein.

SHORTAGE OF PAPER MATERIAL.

Something like $4,000 tons Of diff
ferent kinds of paper and paper board
are manufactured every day in the
United States. A large proportion of
this, after it has served its purpose,
could be used over again in some class
of paper. Instead, however, most of
it is wasted. This, of course, has to
be replaced by new materials In the
early history of the paper industry
publicity was given to the Importance
Of saving rags. 1t is of scarcely less
rportance now. The department of
commerce has issued circular bring
ing this mater to the attention of the
public In the hope that practical re-
suits may flow from it. A little effort
directed to the saving of rags and old
papers will mean genuine relief to the
paper industry and diminishing
drain upon the sources of supply for
new materials.

WHAT JEFFERSON SAID.

Our free trade friends never tire of
claiming that the free trade party
voices the sentiments of Thomas JEFF
ferson. But does it, really? Let us
look into this matter moment.
In the year 1917 Mr.. Jefferson wrote
the following in a letter to Benjamin
Austin, and it gives us in nutshell
what the sage of Monticello thought
about protection:
ITO be independent for the comforts
of life, we must fabricate them our
selves. We must now place the man
ufacturer by the side of the agricultur-
list The grand inquiry now is, Shall
we make our own comforts, or go
without them at the will of foreign
nation? He, therefore, who is now
against domestic manufactures must
be for reducing us either to depend
ence on that foreign nation, or to be
clothed in skins and to live like wild
beasts in dens and caverns. | am not
one of those; experience has taught
me that manufactures are now as ne
cessary to our independence as to our
comfort"
If Jefferson was not a protectionist,
what was he? A protectionist is one
who believes in protecting the pro-
ducers in country from foreign COM
petition in the home market by the
imposition of such discriminating dut-
les on goods of foreign production as
will restrict or prevent their importa-
ton,

The massive upright timbers support
the Gaping overhead and protect the
room thus formed from being crushed
in by the tremendous weight above. To
the left is seen the working face of the
ore where 1t is being drilled and blast
ed loose. Set up and ready for use
there stands a compressed air machine
drill together with the picks and the
shovels left by the miners, who appar-
emily have just quit work. On the
right is located the plank walled chute
into which the broken ore is shoveled
and sometimes stored, and alongside 1t
the manway with a ladder by which
the workmen gain access to this stope
from either above or below. Down
here also run the air pipes for oper-
ating the drills, and through these
passages the fresh air is forced to the
miners on the working levels.

STUMP SPEECHES AT $500 PER
HOUR.

The other day Senator Taggart In
the senate, criticised his own party
for its extravaganza and for Its con-
tinual multiplication of taxes. This Is
delightful. But the habit of criticising
themselves seems to be spreading
among the democrats. The other day
Senator Stone of Missouri criticised
congress for remaining in session to
deliver stump speeches for the pend
ing campaign. He said that much OF
the talking that is now being done In
congress is for the effect 1t may have
on the election, and everyone in con-
gress knew it, He said the stump
speeches are buried deep in the Con-
gressional Record and the people are
fortunate to escape them. Even IL
they are sent out under forms of the
frank, the people would not read them.
And this stump speaking Is being
done at a cost of $4,000 an hour, which
is what congress costs the country. 1t
is part of the extravaganza for which
things to tax will have to be found by
the administration. Congress might
have transacted its proper business for
the session long ago. according to good
authorities, like Senator Stone, but 1t
is likely to be in session another
month or so, every hour at $500. And
this is happening at time when the
appropriations piled up already
amount to $1,000, 100000 the highest in
the history of extravagant congresses

Just as 1t is now obstinately shut
ting Its eyes to the need of industrial
preparedness, for three years the Will
son administration refused to see the
need of adequate military prepared
ness. With war on our southern Dor.
der 1t was content to rely on a regu-
lar army that could only muster 49,
200 available men and refused to con-
tinue the established policy of build
ing up our navy. When the time
came for action, the country had not
sufficient troops to police the border
and this force has been supplemented
by a trifle more than one third the
war strength of the national guard. II
the national administration had had
the ability to interpret the skgns of
the time military preparedness would
have been Well under way instead OF
barely begun.

READ THIS; IT IS TO YOUR IN.
TEREST.

southern business man, who is
largely interested In the textile indus
l'tTies of the SOUTH writes the following
strong appeal to wage earners and re-
quests Its publication In the American
Economist:
do you remember the depressed
condition among your people at the
outbreak of the European war?
do you not recall the thousands of
your fellow workers walking the
streets in search of work and could
find none?
Possibly you have not forgotten
the long soup lines In our larger cit
les through which you got only tenn
porary relief
you certainly have not forgotten
the short hours on which your mill
was forced to run, caused by a lack of
orders, your orders having been given
to foreign mills, and still less have you
forgotten that pay envelope contain
ing only about half your regular
wages.
Certainly 1t has not escaped your
memory how hard you tried to make
that short pay meet your increasing
cost of living, and only by stinting
yourself and wearing old discarded
clothes were you able to do 1t.
More important still, you have not
forgotten the party responsible for 1t
all, nor will you on election day for
get to call that party to strict account
ability for increasing your cost of liv-
ing and instead of reducing 1t as they
promised.
True 1t is, by war orders your are
passing through a temporary season
Of prosperity that will last no longer
than the war; but after the war
WHAT?
IF the tariff schedules are not
speedily restored you will find your
mill again running on short time or
entirely closed, for at the present time
the same goods that you are making
are coming to our country by the hun
dreds of millions and is taking the
place of your goods because the labor
that make them get a little less than
half the wages you are receiving and
can undersell your mill.
Our own government gave Germany
large order before the war for steel
because they could get 1t cheaper, but
in doing so robbed our workers Of
their labor, and on top of 1t all ex-
pect our steel mills to pay taxes and
by our votes keep them In office.
Are you going to do 1t, or are You
going to be man enough to protect
your wife and little ones with
straight vote for Hughes and Fair
banks, who stand for protection, pre-
paredness and prosperity"
This is, or should be, the business
mans year. 1t is year for business
men to get busy in spreading among
their employees and friends precisely
such questions and statements as
those above presented by our south
ern friend. 1t is the business mans
year In politics, and II the business
men OF the United States improve
their opportunity they can insure the
return Of protection and prosperity.
