STATE NEWS.
Favors Statewide Prohibition.

! H. C. Comings, customs collector for
the district of Vermont, makes an
open statement to the effect that,
while he favored and voted for the
: present local option law in 1908. be is
at present in favor of the Perry state
wide prohibition law to be voted upon
by thefpeople of Vermont on Tuesday,
March z. Mr.. Comings says: THE
enforcement of our old prohibitory law
was farce and /, like many other
men. anxious to support policy best
calculated to promote the cause of
temperance, voted for local option
law in the Vermont legislature Of
1898 and afterward at the referendum
l have never seen cause to regret my
action, for my observation teaches me
that, where license is not granted
under our present system, the sale of
liquor is very much nearer prohibited
than it was under prohibition. If ! am
not realty mistaken. public sentiment
has under gone such d marked change
In the last few years that prohibitory
law would now be much better en-
forced. Holding this belief and being
very anxious to support policy best
calculated to promote the cause of
temperance, / shall vote for and do
what | can to secure the passage of
the'r Perry Amendment and feel con-
fiCent of its passage by a large major

! -. Uniform Town Bookkeeping.
The report of the commit ee appoint
ed by Governor Charles w. Gates TO
formulate uniform system Of accounts
for town and village officers has just
been put out IN pamphlet form, accord
ing, TO law. Each town or village in
Vermont will vote at the March meet
ing upon the adoption of the uniform
system recommended. Tire committee
were secretary of state, Guy w Bail
ey, and auditor of accounts, Horace F,
Graham. After examination of many
city and village charters these men
concluded that it would be impossible
to formulate system which all can
use without numerous changes. They,
therefore, decided to recommend a
system which they believe will be
adapted to the wants of a large maj ority
of the towns and perhaps some of the
cities and villages, leaving open to'the
other towns, cities and villages the
question as to whether they can use
the proposed system as basis upon
which to formulate plan adapted to
their individual requirements. The
committee recommended that among
the articles appearing in town warning
there be the following: Amount of
money that will be voted in addition to
the amount required by law for high
ways amount of money for support of
poor for support Of schools and other
regular purposes.
They also recommend, and submit
! forms of treasurer's accounts. school
directors accounts, record books for
town officers and orders for highway
commissioners, overseer of the poor and
justices of the peace. In brief. several

A little church in WestfeId has an
endowment fund of $4,000 which
yields an income of five per cent, or
S700. This with the effort individuals
have been making should secure for
that church an exceptionally strong
man. Here is great opportunity for
the church, under the guidance of a
trained and competent man, to take
hold of community problems and make
of what the chu4ch may be in rural

ORGANIZING In
VALLEY COUNTY
Non-Partisan League Now Has
Headquarters at Glasgow.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
League is NOn-POlitical and Aim is to
Promote Legislation Beneficial
to Farmers.

Organization work of the Montana
Farmers Non-Partisan League has
been inaugurated in Valley County
this week by r. d. and A. E. Bowen
who are the principle representatives
in this state for the work. The or
ganization will conduct it's affairs
along the same lines as are used in
the Dakotas where so great sue
cess has been obtained during the
past two years. AS the Courier I'M
derstands ii the organization is pure
ly ron-partisan and it does not make
any pretense of boosting any particu-
lar party. It's purpose is to select
men for candidates for state legislat-
i've Office who have shown they ar, in
tercs'uu in the ! .ttermenu If the well
fare Of the farmer and who have dem
onstrated to the farmer that they are
willing to go into the legislature and
work for the enactment Of such laws
as will bring about the desired re-
suits to them. Men who will stick
to the work in hand until it is finish
ed and will do all possible to the end
that the farmer is treated with equal
fairness in legislation as any other
business interests.
The program of the Non Partisan
League comprises legislation for tie
exemption of farm improvements from
taxation, state hail insurance, term
inal elevators and flour mills, nom
partisan election laws, equal taxation
of corporations. agricultural lands,
state inspection and dockage, rural

will be independent of the other farm
er organizations of the state but will
cooperate with them in it's work.
The Farmers Non-Partisan League
does not put a political ticket in the
field at elections but selects men from
the various tickets considered quail
fed to represent them and then vote
solid. In the Dakotas they have met
Wit much success along this line. At
the last nominating election in North
Dakota, out of Ill candidates the
League nominated 81 candidates and
at the election the Secretary of State,
indorsed by the League won by ma
jority Of 100000, and the Governor
was returned by majority of 1000
votes over the combined vote given to

VALLEY COUNTY
EXHIBIT LEAVES
Premium Winning Exhibits Off
For State Fair.
GARDEN EXHIBITS SMALL
Early Frost Makes Usual Showing of
Vegetable Crop Impossible. Grain
and Root Crops First Class.

Thursday evening the Valley coun-
ty agricultural exhibit left for the
State Fair at Helena. 1t will include
all the best threshed grains shown at
the county fair as well as the best
sreafs of grain and large variety
of green vegetables and root crops
which have been gathered during the
past week by S. C. Moore, who was
designated by the county commission
ers &c make the exhibit.
The exhibit will not be as large as
it was last year owing to the difficulty
experienced in collecting it, many of
the grain fields visited being either
damaged by the rust sufficient to make
1t impractical to shaw the grain in
the straw or else there was not the
quality found in the grain. Even with
a smaller amount of grain there is
every possibility of the Valley coun-
ty exhibit winning good many priz-
es, as it has done before, for the grain
selected shows to be of very excel
lent quality and has been put through
the tanning mill many times to get
it as clean as possible.
In the vegetable and root crop de-
partment the exhibit will give keen
competition to the county that beats
them as all these have been personally
selected by Mr.. Moore who has gone
into the fields throughout the county
and dug the potatoes, beets, parsnips,
carrots. sl%ar beets, and in fact prac-
tically the entire collection. Owing
to the early frost considerable am
cunt Of garden truck could not be
gathered. Melons which have always
won for Valley county are this year
practically out of the running as is
the case with great many other
things.
Among the farmers who will have
their products exhibited at Helena
this year are John Domka, c. M. Pet
erson. z. J. Foust, Ole Stensland, M.
Kelly, F. l.. Belzer, J. Maalerud, Her
man Sieving, C. A. Collins, c. H. Rich
ardson and many others. Mr.. Col
Inns will accompany the exhibit this
year and will assist Mr. Moore in ar
ranging it and placing it before the
Judges. Mr.. Collins has been one of
the hard workers for the success of
the county fair and has helped very
materially in making the state exhi-
bits as good as they have been for
the past two years.

NEW PAPER FOR OPHEIN

A new paper, to be known as the
Observer, is slated to make it's first
appearance at Opheim next week, the
editor and publisher being R. E. TAFT,
who has been for some time connected
with the News in this city. A com
plete equipment, including a cylinder
press and entire outfit of material for
newspaper and commercial job print

JEANETTE RANKIN

Nationwide interest has been arous-
ed by the candidacy of Miss jean
nette Rankin, who is the first woman
in the United States to run for con-
gress, Judging by press notices ap-
pearing in almost every newspaper
in the country.
In speaking Of her candidacy the
Seattle Times says: "Miss Rankin
is an excellent speaker, attractive in
appearance, and skilled politician, and
stands an excellent chance of being
the first woman member of congress-"
The Spokesman-R Review says: "Miss
Jeanette Rankin, leader Of the con-
gressional ticket in Montana seems
to be popular with the G. O. P"
The New York Sun: "Mss Rankin
has rare personality, fine intellect
and an unusual perspective; and her
candidacy has aroused national in
terest."
The Salt Lake Herald Republican:
"Another thing that Montana will do
this year will be to elect a woman
as a congressman, and she will be
a republican. Her name is Miss jean
nette Rankin"
The Colorado Spokesman: "Miss
Jeanette Rankin of Montana, who led
the republican ticket in the primaries
is the only congressional candidate
who ran on a "dry" platform, land the
tremendous vote given her, may fore
shadow the result of the liquor refer
endum next November"
Oregon Register: "Miss Jeanette
Rankin, the republican candidate for
congress from Montana, is good
speaker and is making an active cam

BD John A. Goodrich

judicial record but for the reason the
American people came, to repose su-
preme confidence in him as fearless
advocate and a great governor previ-
GUS to his service as a member of the
Supreme Court.
The national government touching
the people of all the states and deal
ing with foreign powers affords the
presidency an exaltation above that
of the governorship of state; but
the government of a state touches the
people many times where the federal
government touches them once, and
it's functions and powers are in MANY
respects more far reaching and COM
pleX than that of the national govern
ment.
The state government has jurisdic-
ton over vast domain, over the citi-
zen's life, property and welfare; it
provides laws for the government of
great cities; of contract and police;
of corporate and business regulation,
governing the conditions of women
children and of labor; of the relations
of husband and wife, of parer: ana
child.
The governor of great state in
these days q tremendous develop
ment and change requires no less of
the statesman's apprehension, cour-
age and executive power than does
the president. Mr. Hughes was gov
ernor of a great state in time of
unrest and Of insistent demands for
great constructive changes, of great
readjustment Of mighty clashing in
terests.
He met the demands of the great
office to the fullest measure of an en-
lightened statesman of a great age;
ne showed powers of compromising
Intricate and complex situations and
problems; of constructive leadership;
of decision, of courage and of strength
that have raerly, if ever, been sur
passed in the history of this country.
The indubitable answer to the ques-
tion: "What would you have done?"
is the Hughes record as governor Of
New York which the Democrats do
not attack and have no stomach for
attacking. This question, "What
would you have done?" is asked not
seriously but to divert attention from
the grave short comings of the Demo-
"cratic president, which if fairly con-
templated disaualify him for further
service as chief executive.

Ruffc0rn Wants To Know
Who the Falsifers Are

In the Valley County News under
date of September Sth, the readers of
that paper were rcgaled with articles
by Lieut.. 7. F. King, late of Saco
and now OF Co. G., 2nd Mont. Inf, and
Col. Dan J. nonohue, the colonel OF
the Montana Regiment, relating to
the discharge of former Private
George w. Ruffcorn, lately discharged
from service.
In these articles by the distinguish
ed military men the writer is referred
to in terms quite uncomplimentary
and in language perfervid. My dis
charge-coming directly from the War
Department to my company command
er, Capt. Reynolds of L company, to
which company l had gotten trans
fer from G company, commanded by
Doc. Layton-seems indeed to have

Probably in this 1916 campaign the
electors will give more rational con-
sideration to subjects under discussion
than they have given in any former
campaign; not only has the crisis of
the world conflict caused people to
think more seriously on all human
problems but public education in the
United States has been advancing in
recent years at a pace never attained
in previous history. The campaign
of "headlines" and "catchwords" will
be less potent in this year OF Grace
than ever before.
Those campaign committees who
think to win the masses by reference
to "Charlie" Hughes and his whiskers
by attempts to answer most vital and
relevant charges based on the written
record of acts and events by asking
"what would you have done?" are
we think, woefully misjudgng the
breadth of intelligence and informa-
ton of the American electorate.
The record and merits of the Wilson
administration Of the presidential Of
flee are on trial; where the record is
good the president and his managers
will stand on the record; where it is
vulnerable they will use all sorts of
expedients to divert attention there
from to side issues. Of course by
virtue of his candidacy Mr.. Hughes
brings his record and achievements
also to trial.
Mr.. Wilson and his managers, very
compatibly with true Democratic in
terest, are assuming that the pre-
sidency is the only Office in which a
record befitting a presidential candi-
date can be made. This assumption
is made for the most excellent reason
that the record of Mr.. Hughes as gov
ernor and Judge. approaches about
as nearly to invulnerabilty as does
any record yet disclosed in the history
of American politics.
With seven years of experience as
Judge Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, alone, Mr.. Hughes mus,
have gotten closely and deeply &C
quainted with multitude of prob
lens of national import; and if it be
said that judicial experience is not E
safe guarantee of executive proficien
cy it may also be said in the instance
of Mr.. Hughes, that while he ranked
high in the science of Jurisprudence
as an able and enlightened Judge, hi
was yet not chosen on account of hi:
