Can A Clique Of Low, Lazy
Leeches Control Our Politics
At The Coming City Election?

Within the past month number of tin-horns
who are eligible to vote in Gut Bank have return
ed to town and the information has leaked out
that these tin-horns are in a "frame-up" to fix
matters politically that they will not fear inter-
ence in conducting gambling here
We wonder if the citizens of Gut Bank who
are for law, order and progress will stand supi ely
by and allow these pale, pased parasites to dictate
the politics of the town. These low, lazy leeches
have no property and other interests here.
They contribute nothing to our upbuilding and
much toward our downpulling. They have neither
morals nor honor. They would be trainrobbers if
they had the courage; porchclimbers sheep
stealers if laziness did not prevent. That cotere
of coarse, brazen, lawdefying poker sharks should
attempt to dictate municipal affairs as repug-
nant to our sense of decency as the right of litter
ate black 'niggers to run the politics of the South
is repugnant to the self-respecting whites.
The Pioneer Press here and now ventures this
bit of political prophesy: The persons who seek
to the voting strength of the poker fraternity
to lift themselves into office at the coming election
will be swamped by the too-patent respectable
voters of this town. The day of domination by
the enemies of good government in Cut Bank is
done, if we mistake not.

Alec Johnston, who has taken
his full share of pioneer vicissi-
tudes, is planning on a little
more ease and comfort in the
future. H. has perfected plans
for a modern residence on his
ranch ill Headlight. The resi-
dence will be roomy one and
among other conveniences will
have a full-sized cement base
ment, in which he will have in
stalled heating plant. 1t is
probable that other farmers in
the community will erect more
substantial buildings in the
present year.
H. Cardwell, who resides
near Headlight Butte, was a
caller Monday and told the
writer Of a piece of skilful vet
erinary surgery performed on a
large draft horse, by L. Joslyn.
The horse was kicked by a
mate so&e time ago, and when
the veterinarian called h e
found that a rib was broken and
the animals condition critical.
He removed the rib and dressed
the wound and in a short time
the horse was as fit physically
as before the rib was fractured.
Bert Luther is back from
Arkansas and Missouri, his for
mer haunts. Bert reports that

featuring centers there is the
greatest activity, he says. and
unemployment is unknown.
Fred Gaines returned this

In Interest of the
Thrift Movement
Banks to Cooperate With
School To Further
the Move

hCarlton A. Grier of Occur c.
Alene, Idaho, western repre-
sentative of the Registered
Tracery System, spent last Fri
day in Cut Bank, conferring
with local bankers and Principal
NARROW Of the local school, with
the purpose in view of giving
the initial impetus to the thrift
movement, now being taken up
all over the country.
The system is built upon the
proposition that if the pennies
are given the proper attention,
the dollars will take care Of
themselves, and upon the sug-
gestion that competition is one
of the greatest incentives to a
youthful mind. Everyone real
ICES the value Of teaching thrift
to a child lies in the fact that
he will probably retain his early
training. In carrying out this
System bank" plan, the ideas
of thrift will be taught in the
school-room, like other subjects.
One room will be matched
against another, and some prize
given to the room having the
largest aggregate deposits, the
prize to be moved around as
the amounts may vary.
Each child with a deposit of
ten cents may receive system
bank from which one Of our
banks his parents choose for
him. and in this bank, which
contains a book, he may keep a
re ecord of his savings, which,
when reaching a dollar Is taken
to the local bank and deposited
to his credit. Once a month he
takes this card to the teacher
and his report of deposits and
savings is copied onto the rec
ord card of the school. He will
be encouraged and will take
great pride in his growing saw
ings.
Mr.. Grier called at the Pio-
neer Press Office Friday evening
to solicit cooperation in the
move and gave the information
that the bankers and school
faculty were heartily in accord
with the plan and that it would
be inaugurated without delay.
'The bankers here evinced a
fine spirit Of cooperation and
good will toward each other, a
condition that one does not find
in all the smaller cities, and
were keenly in sympathy with
the idea from the beginning,
said Mr.. Grier.

L. w. Robnttt will shortly
embark in the general transfer
business in Cut Bank and will
handle wood, coal and ice. Mr..
Robnett has arranged to handle
the ice business exclusively
and will give it his chief atten-
ton during the summer season.
He is now erecting a coal and
wood shed adjoining the Klein
shop, which he will make his
headquarters. Robnett is an
obligine and efficient fellow and
without doubt will give the
public the best of service.
Mrs. M. S. Bush and Mrs.
Jas. Malone were hostesses at
a progressive card party, at the
home of the former, last even
ing. The dominating color note,
pink and white, was carried out
in the carnations that graced
the reception rooms. A large
number of friends of both host
esses WED for honors in series
of games that were replete with
zest and merriment. An elabo-
rate luncheon was served at
the conclusion of the series.
Otto Bauman, the veterinar-
ian, arrived from Fort Benton
Monday. He will remain here
a short time at present and will
return to Fort Benton. After
staying at that place for brief
time he plans on returning to
Cut Bank to spend the remain
der of the year on his home
stead.
John Bliesener, who was a
caller yesterday, fears that
farmers are to experience some
difficulty in securing good work
horses this spring. as they seem
quite scarce at present. He
says the farmers out his way
are planning on larger farming
operations this spring than ever
before.
Mrs. Charles Lynch was host
ess at two parties at her home

Another anomalous condition was

NO "scUTTLE' IN MEXICO

The Administration announces to-
day that the American troops will
not now be withdrawn from Mexico,
but that redispositions will be au-
thorized, in the discretion Of the mill
itary commanders. Instead Of scut-
Ting, this country will take steps
to strengthen It's hand and effect the
purpose for which the expedition was
sent across the border. FL
In making this decision, the Ad-
ministration shows that it has
rightly gagged public opinion on this
side. II would be ruinous to follow
any other course. Our posture be-
fore the world would be inexcusably
weak at time when, il ever, it is
necessary that we display firm pur-
pose and unyielding determination.
Berlin and Vienna, as well as Mexico
City. must be kept in thought.
Villa has not been caught, and 1t is
not seriously believed that he is
dead. No object for which the ex-
petition was dispatched has been ac-
complished. Rather, the failure Of
the Carranzistas to cooperate has
uncovered evidence of state of af-
fairs perhaps worse, certainly more
menacing, than that which was
recognizable as immediate result Of
the Columbus raid. 1t would be fatal
weakness to withdraw in the face Of
such situation; and the country
win applaud the announcement that
there is no present thought of such
a thing. May there be no change to
