Too Much Big Noise.

This is mighty good time for
people who are really patriotic
and want only good to America
and Americans to keep their
mouths shut. We have come
through three trying years with
out having to 60 down into Mex
leo and waste good money and
better lives to stop an ugly sit
uation. They have a govern
ment now recognized by the
United States and the Latin
states. Let them see what they
can do.
Carranza has had only a few
weeks to build up a terribly
shattered country out of exceed
ingly rough material. Guerilla
warfare has always followed the
wars. We had it after the civil
war, resulting in the Klu-Klux
and the James boys. A quarter
of a century ago the United Sta
tes and Italy were nearly at
trouble because a mob at New
Orleans wiped out some Malta
lodges.
1t appears that these engineers
and miners went into the Villa
district knowing the danger and
having assumed the risk. OF
course the first feeling at the
news is one of anger, but COM
mon sense should prevail, and
will if the political agitators will
keep out. Ell Paso is giving it's
usual sensational performance.
The fact is El Paso has fattened
on the Mexico revolution and
would hate to see a good thing
end.
How silly to talk of a private
invasion to clean things up. Some
of the angry ones are appealing
to the big noise at Oyster Bay.
1t has been and is his policy u
keep voters believing that he can
make all the warning people OF
the world come and eat out of
his hand. He would do it by
shaking his head. swapping his
teeth and shrieking liar. He
can't do anything more than is
being done, couldn't if he were
president. Just to rage and fume
and abuse the administration at
strained moments is near to that
ugly thing known in civil war
days as apprehension. Billings

Stock RustlinC Doomed.

For no accountable reason the
occupation of live stock stealing
seems to go hand in hand with
the legitimate live stock indus
try. In the days of old when the
live stock business predominated
in this western country, the rust
Ter was a very prominent charac-
ter but the quick and effective
"home rule" laws which were
administered to them then, and
which in many cases left him
lifeless on the prairie or dang
ling from a sturdy tree, some-
what checked his operations and
tended greatly to curtail the
business. In this particular Sec
ton the art of horse stealing in
particular has been handed down
to date in a very marked manner
until it was getting to be COM
mon occurrance for the rancher
to lose from one to a dozen hor-
ses at a time. These rustlers
worked in groups and after MAX
ing their haul would gather their
stuff at a common point and ship
it out Of the country. Local au-
thorities have been working very
diligently on this problem for the
past three years doing very ef-
fective work, but something over
a year ago, at the suggestion of
the local states attorney the Of
ficers of this and the surrounding
counties met at Belle Fourche to
determine wavs and means to
put a stop to live stock stealing.
Results came swift and certain
and at this last term of court in
Butte County which has just
closed, VIM. Mern. VIM. Uren,
Chas. Crage and Frank Erlhoff

country owing one man a thou sand and others almost as much and paid never a cent. Yet he bought a ten thousand dollar ranch in Cali fornia and is enjoying it to the full because he was able to employ non- union men who were afraid to call their soul their own on or off the job.
 The job is worth nothing to a man. It what man gets on the job that is worth while, yet to ob- serve the incredible haste and the indecent scramble to get a job quite regardless of whether or not the wages would be forthcoming one would come to the conclusion that God made a number of men to live to work.

MOTION PICTURE ACTORS

demanded for this work, either from
the camera artist or the worker in

it is perhaps even harder than for
the latter, since many of the Nacces-

There is story, in the December

writer says:
"He tried honestly to be just play

tenderness would ship into his voice,
and a lingeringness into his hands
when they touched her. And after
another night Of fighting it out with
himself he noticed something else. He

now, the inevitable thing. Well

Wineless Wine Party
Of Hap Hogan's Was
Cruel Joke on Crowd

Observing that the baseball mag
nues'" were entertained Hospitality in
New Orleans, recalls e. story about
Hap Hogan, who was always one of
the moving spirits at such meetings
The yarn is told by a chap who was
present.
1T was the custom each night for
one of the visiting delegates to give
a little wine party. This particular
night it was Hogan's treat. Hap in
vited all the magnates up to his suite,
standing room being at a premium.
In the center of the room was a
large tub filled with cracked ice. Near
by stood colored valet awaiting the
word from Hogan to start the festivi-
ties. 1t was an imposing scene. The
thirsty magnates were snlacllin' their
fps in anticipation.
Hogan elbowed his way through
the crowd and stood beside the i'll
viting ice. Gentlemen" he said, ''On
this suspicious occasion it affords me
great pleasure Of the hospitality and
good will of the people of California.
Out in our state when we do thfngs
we do them right. We don't buy
wines, We buy wine; the real spark
ling stuff. Now, gentlemen, I think
we will proceed"
rhe waiter started in to brush away
the ice, a task which consumed all
of a minutes time. From the bottom
of the tub he brought up small bot
tie of wine, opened(it and poured the
contents into a glass held by Hogan.
Gentlemen" said Hogan, while
everybody looked askance. "Here's to
the greatest wineless wine party that
ever happened; party where a wild
and woody magnate from out of the
West puts it over on the polished
magnates from the East Let 'er 60"
Hap drank the few sips that the
glass contained while the Eastern
magnates slowly fled but of the room.
It was a trick they never forgave
Hogan for.
