Sir: The attitude Of Miss Rankin ia
not readily understood. The news
papers of Montana. with few II any
exceptions. so far as I know, have
been most generous In all OF the COM
ment that has been occasloned by her
radical and ill.founded uttcrances OF
late. In that they have given her credit
for sincerity. The voters of Montana
had reason to assume that she would
prove herself sufficiently conversant
with the conditions at home to side
step such a ridiculous and embarrass-
ing predicament as that in which she
now finds herself placed. Rash as
sertions. due to ignorance. are fully
as harmful az II made with malicious
intent. There Is little doubt but that
Miss Rankin's alleged statements have
cast n blot upon the fair name Of the
state. Moreover Miss Rankin has
seen tit to offer direct insult to the
papers in this state, to most OF whom
she was personally indebted for their
courteous and generous treatment.
The Miles City Daily Star and the
Miles City Independent. of which am
the editor, ardently supported MISS
Jeanette as a republican candidate
during the last campaign. Yet she
classes the Star and the Independent
with all other newspapers in the state
as being owned by the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company.
Answering personally for ourselves
| we will say that Miss Rankin mis-
states the facts. Speaking offhand
| would venture wager that more than
9S per cent Of the newspapers of Mon
! tana are individually owned. If the
damaging assertions accredited to asol
have been made through lack OF
| knowledge of the real conditions then
her judgment is not to be relied upor
! in matters that affect the state at the
! national capital. IT, on the other hand
| she is playing for votes. she is in.
sulting the intelligence of the masses
| in this state. .-.

Editor Of the >Tribune. Review, Butte

Sir:
Miss Rankin's charge that the press
of this state is owned by the Anaconda
company, Is in no way original. In
We olden days of political strife in this
state, the newspaper so obsucre as to
escape being branded as being owned
or controlled by the Anaconda COM
pany was indeed a novelty. This was
the old time and favorite method used
for obtaining political supremacy.
Miss Rankin's charge that the state
press of Montana is corporation owned
is surely n weak echo of other days.
Possibly Miss Rankin spoke under i'm
pulse when she made the unfair criti-
cism. About to undertake a mission Of
mercy or emancipation--which you
will--she probably was stirred to the
depths over the magnitude of her task.
At the request of the down trodden."

Sir:

she did. that she did not mean. in q
literal sense, what she is purported to
have said.
However. If 1t is a fact that the lady
ma de the 'rsnIHTsr credited tovhoN- aresc
that "the Anaconda Copper company
owns the state of Montana, the gov.
eminent and the press" it is patent
that very serious injury has been done
by this stigmatism.
No citizen of Montana who has even
the slightest conception of conditions,
as they exist today. believes that Its
great and varied interests, it's gov
eminent and its enterprises are con-
trolled, much less owned, by the Ana
conda Copper conlpany-or any other
copper company. or corporation.
The people of Montana have shown
themselves true patriots in the exist
ing great world crisis, and have placed
the state in the forefront in the matter
Of Liberty Loan bonds. Red Cross do
nations, and in the number of soldiers
furnished for the cause of democracy.
1t is unfair and unjust that Montana's
meritedly splendid reputation should
be furnished and besmirched by the
untruthful assertion-if it were made
that it's enterprises, in other words its
people. are owned" and consequently
controlled, by any corporation.
am reluctant to believe that Miss
Rankin was correctly quoted in the In
terview referred to. and I sincerely

zAPATA KEPT HIS o N
Paid Back $4,000 Pesos He Forced
Bankers to Give Him to Feed
Hungry Men.

One morning Emilio Zapata issued
two p~roclamations. One was Il pro-
hibitiOn edict closing the saloons the
other Il command for the bankers of
the city to assemble for Il conference.
The bankers attended the meeting.
They went in fear. dreading confisca-
ton OF their deposits. Only a few
days before the armies of General Car
ranza had collected a forced Loan OF
ten million pesos from the banks.
What mercy could be expected Of the
bandit leaderI
Zapata's speech was short and to
the point. "Caballeros." he said, my
men are hungry. l want 10000 pesos
to feed them for a few day. You will
pay this. l promise yon protection.
You may carry on your business with
out molestation as long as you do not
aid the enemy. You may 60 when you
sign the order for the money" Thank
fnl To escape with such q modest de-
mand, the bankers did as they were
ordered. Zapata kept his part of the
bargain, and for months. the city was
better policed than 1t has ever been
since porfiriO DiaZ was driven from
Mexico. But this is the strange part
Of the story-Strange to one who
knows the system Of confiscation
which has bled the business men Of
the country. Ten days later Zapata
paid back the $4,000 pesos.

Became a Bit Worried.

The conversation ut 4 recent social
affair turned to the beautiful indiffer-
ence of some children. when this story
fittingly related by Representa-
tive Frank L. Greene Of Vermont:
Recently a small party named Bees
sic had a birthday, and a little girl
friend Of her W age was invited to
come around and help her celebrate
the glad occasion. Both were given
cake and things, and afterward they
happily pranced off to the upper part
of the house.
Two hours later the mother of BcS-
sic went to look for the children and
found her sweet child sitting alone IN
a great armchair nibbling OH a rem
nant Of the dainty repast.
"ANhy, Bessie" exclaimed the sur
prised mother, glancing around the
room, 'where Is your little friend?"
I'VE playing hide and seek in
the attic" calmly answered Bessie, as
she continued to nibble her cake, land
l gave up looking for her quite n long
time ago."

one night, Jim Flynn escaped what

Flynn and a wild swinging but fe-

scheduled ten-rOund affair.
Flynn had it on Johnson so far as
points were concerned. But Johnson
was very dangerous. Such men as
Jack Sullivan could do no better than
outlook him and mark him up. He
was ugly at close quarters.
In the ninth Johnson landed on
Flynn and Jim went down. He looked
all in. About the count of seven
Flynn staggered up. A baby's breath
would have blown him down. John
son started a terrific swing, but just
then a loud report like a gun shot
was heard and the ring became a
dense cloud of white smoke. A pho
tographer had taken flashHght pic
ture.
Johnson evidently was badly
frightened. He dashed away toward
a far side of the ring and stood ner-
vOUs and ratified In the meantime
Flynn had recovered himself a little
and held his feet. The gong ended
the round before Johnson realized
what had happened. He couldn't get
back at the helpless Flynn. In the
tenth round Flynn came strong, and,
OutpOinting Johnson, was given. the
popular decision.
