Yours of the 2lst, with reference to
reported statements of Representa-
tive Rankin. is at hand.
1t is both difficult and delicate TO
express an opinion of the purported
interview. l am compelled to believe
that Miss Rankin made the statements
attributed to her. | am also OF t,,e
opinion that the fuss being nlale
about the interview is a great ado
about nothing If Miss Rankin made
the statement concerning the owner-
ship of the Montana press | do not
think for a minute that she intended
her language to apply in any other
way than from a. political standpoint.
and on this point there is a great deal
OF honest difference of opinion. Thu
editors themselves are not entirely of
one mind on this point. Many of THEN
have discovered when too late thu
they have been influenced in the
wrong direction. though they have
been unable to say exactly where the
Influence came from. Whatever Miss
Rankin's shortcomings may be she has
never yet been accused OF feeble.
mindedness. and it is an absolute ee-s
ainty that none other than a. feeble
minded person would make the an
qualified statement that the Anaconda
company Is the absolute owner In fea
simple of the state, the government
and the press of Montana. es+>"2.

THE HOUSTON AFFAIR.

The first thought on reading tho
tragic affair at Houston in which
Twelve white civilians and national
guardsmen were killed by negro SOL
diers. is that the government made a
grave error in quartering these troops
in the south. a negro enlisted in the
United States army, equipped with a
gun and with the protection Of the
government is quite a different sort
Of negro from the frightened. pcrsc-
cutod. skulking laborcr of the south
fear of the white mob. Southern peo-
pie will soon learn that.
a negro. under certain environments
is not a coward. That was fully dem
onstratod in the Spanish war. Some
critics even go SO far as to say the
negro regiment saved the Rough
Riders from annihiation at San Juan
Hil. Certainly they showed courage
and excellent Judgment under n
smothcring fire.
TIL" facts with regard to the out
break at Houston must be sifted be
forc q decision is reached. one thing
uf which We may be sur" and that is,
that thor" win be no lynching of
United states soldiers even though
they be hlHck. It is easy To trace this

Editor Carbon County Journal.

Replying to yours of August 21st
wish to say that | consider the state
mcnt credited to Representative Ran
kin of Montana, to the effect that the
Anaconda Copper company owns the
state. government and press of Mon
tana. q monstrous falsehood. II is
typical of the irresponsible mouthings
OF a class of our citizenship which is
not in good repute today, the I. W. W.
element.
Further than that l believe the
statement is a disastrous boomerang
for the person making it, she being "a
part of the government of Montana
and not likely to be the lone excep-
ton to the rule she so glibly asserts,
II the a. c.. NJ. owns the state air,
the government, it must also own Miss
Rankin. II the press is owned BY the
a. G. NJ. it follows that Miss Rankin
must be also. in view of the fact that
a great majority of Montana news.
papers supported her candidacy
Regarding the charge itself and its
effect on MOntana's interests.and rep
utatiOn. i can not bring, myself to feel
any alarm. 1t hasn't even the virtue
tof being original, but is borrowed
ticians and oilers. Thinking men and
women will give little crcdcncc to
such wild and sweeping statements
and, the only unfortunate feature, in
my opinion. is that Montana, should
have as an official representative, a
person who is so impulsive and indis-
| Greet as to give voice to such senI-
ments. .......
! No one will attempt to deny that the
A. G. NJ. company has extensive and
varied Industries In Montana, or that
| Its influence is sometimes felt, but for
every person so influenced there ar.
hundreds who are not and for every
newspaper SO influenced there are
| scores which are not. Their .domina-
ton of the state is an empty myth, an

Manager Of The Sanders County
Ledger.

pcaF Sir:

statement credited to Representative
Rankin that the Amalgamotei Conner
company owns the state, the govern
ment of the press of Montana. womb
say that | have hardly been a. resident
OF the state long enough to Judge.
properly. but speaking for the Sanders
County Ledger. would say most; en-
phatieally that it does not. 49,,
! have. however, seen evidences Of
its control in certain quarters. l do moi
believe that Miss Rankin intended the
statement t obc construed Cmite ia
broadly as it sounds, for the reason
that she received active support from
many newspapers. And I do not believe.
that such a statement should be used
as an excuse to ridicule and nulify her
attempt to arrive, at a clear under
standing of the difficulties between the
mine owners and the fine workers. as
has certainly been the case, >Undoubt-
cdly there are two sides to the con-
troversy and until it is thoroughly
understood that the workers have some
very real grievances" no just and
equitable action can be taken to oueli
|. w w. activities, You can hardly
imagine such disturbances occurring in
the Ford factory. 80
Miss Rankin undoubtedly spoke, a
little too strongly, even though her
statements were founded on fact. If the
Amalsamated does control the state
there is a strong movement to be rid
of its, power and it must be done with
in the confines Of the state--not back
in Washington or New York. She
proba bly, spoke under stress of emotion
stronger than she would otherwise
have done. If the press is innocent Of
the charge it does not need to make a
great fuss about it. Let's give her
credit for trying. at least. to get at
the heart of the trouble.
