DICTAGRAMS

AS rule a foreign newspaper con-
tains very little of interest to an
American reader but a recent copy of
the London Daily Express containing
several marked paragraphs proved
different. 1t addressed to the
dictagramer and bore English pos
tage stamp. He suspects that w. J.
Shelton held the pencil that marked
the interesting paragraphs
Wa-Keeney and Trego county drew
considerable space in outside news
papers about two weeks ago. Here
are two paragraphs which appeared
in the Saturday Evening Post:
FfThe only way for Kansas hotel
to maintain its honor and decency is
to live right in the heart of the town.
A hotel in the suburbs is always open
to suspicion, and the farther it goes
off into the country the more outre
becomes its reputation. So true is
this in the Sunf1ower state that
roadhouse is forbidden in the films.
when are cutting for Kansas
the title will say: Night found them
at Ye Rose Tree Inn in the dear lit
tie town of Wa-Keeney' Kansas
knows full well that nothing could
happen at Ye Rose Tree Inn, espec-
tally if it was right next to the court
house in Wa-Keeney."
The two paragraphs quoted above
are not specially applicable to Wa
. Keeney nor especially offensive. In
the latter respect they are quite in
contrast to a story which appeared
in the Topeka State Journal and was
given a prominent position in that pa
L
and 18th. The story is remarkable be-
cause of its revolving nastiness and
because of its misstatements and its
general lack of regard for the truth
1t relates to the Zwetzig family and
purports to be based in part on a re-
port from the Probate Judge of Trego
County, who is the only local officer
named in the article. The matter has
never been presented to the Probate
Court of Trego County. The Probate
Judge has not made any report con-
corning the Zwetzig family or any
member of it to the state authorities
to the State journal, or to anyone
else. It appears that the reporter
overworked his lascivious imagination
in the production of dirty story. The
most heinous of the alleged facts was
given competent and thorough exam
1natlon under direction OF local auth
critics several weeks ago and pro
nounced false. In this. respect the
story appears to be plainly 1ibelous OF
the alleged offenders. The child In
question has never been a pupil ir
the Wa-Keeney schools, as alleged
and the reporters inuendo concernine
the standard of morals maintained In
this community is wholly gratuitous
and unfounded. In short the whole
story is highly defamatory and gives
to the city and county a notoriety
which is at once both extremely un
desirable and wholly undeserved

HASKIN LETTER
Anopheles- Most Dangerous Animal
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN

greater part of these regions. and
actually Goes damage in large part or
the total area involved. a.,
There are several reasons why thls
spring is the right time for national
drive against malaria. In the first place,
this is the time of the year when the
Anopheles mosquito can be most easily
destroyed. The spring breeding season
begins in the south late in March and IN
the first week in April as far north as
Newport News, Va. Farther north the
season begins little later.
Early spring, therefore, is the time TO
undertake the work of eradication by oil
ing the water surfaces, draining stag
nant pools. and taking all of the other
measures to make mosquito breeding I'M
possible.
The methods are all well known.
and have proved their effectiveness.
Theoretically, malaria is disease en-
tirely within their control.
In Panama we learned how to elimi-
nate it under the difficult conditions of
a tropical country. Thruout the war just
ended, malaria was practically eliminated
from all the cantonments and extra
cantonment zones. Many of these train
ing camps were in the midst of the ma
laria districts. In none of them was
tlefe mucu mdidEld, dHu III uOSL OA lACAA
there was none at all. Mosquitoes were
a rare sight about the cantonments and
the Anopheles mosquito was almost I'M
known This was demonstration in the
malarial regions of the south that ma
laria can be absolutely controlled there.
and it was a demonstration witnessed
and appreciated by many thousands of
civilians. The public health service states
that during the war malaria was sue
cessfnlly controlled in 43 different areas
in 1J states. and that 200 square miles
of territory were rid of the Anopheles
mosquito.
This proves concluisvely that the
thing can be done. Nor is there any
questions but what it can be done at an
expense far less in amount than the
damage which malaria annually causes in
the United States. The whole problem is
one of arousing public opinion on the
subject.
Large industrial concerns in the south
are beginning to realize that they can
not affard malaria among their working
forces In certain lumber regions where
preventive measures have been taken
the lumber output has been considerably
increased. On many southern planta-
tons the crop is cut to fraction
of what it should be by the ravages of
malaria. Large numbers of iaborers are
taken down with chills and fever at the
time when their services are most
needed.

COPPER PRODUCERS
To MARKET SURPLUS
HOLDINGS Of j. S.
Will Dispose of 100, 100000 Lbs.
in Next Is Months at Pre-.
vailing Prices.

Washington, March 26-The war de-
partment has announced that an
agreement had been reached with copper
producers. under which approximately
100, ,OOO, 900 pounds of copper owned by
the War department will be disposed of
during the next fifteen months at market
prices. The United Metal Selling COM
pany, organized by the producers for
the purpose, will handle the transaction.
For the first ten months, the COM
pany will handle 100000 pounds of
government copper per month and for
the succeeding five months will dispose
of 100000 pounds per month.
The agreement provides for the alb
sorption by the producers in this manner
of government surplus copper equal to
ten per cent of the copper sales of the
producers. the government proportion to
be increased in the event of favorable
market conditions. A small allowance
will be made to the producers to cover
the expense of the government selling.

MUST WIVES STOP WORK?

What do you think of this? 1t is not
easy to answer is it: Thousands of
American homes are facing this question
right now. Many a soldiers wife has
learned to love her job. Many have
tasted the joy of earning money and do
not wish to give up their outside work.
And yet many soldiers want their wives
to stick to housework only. There is
much to be said in favor of this desire
on their part. Which is right? Read
Montanye Perry's article on this subject
in Pictorial Review for April in which
the views of both husband and wife
are set forth. 1t fairly bristles with in
terest.

MUCH PUBLIC INTEREST.

There has hardly been an instance in the
history Of Great Falls when the people Of the
city have been as well satisfied with their NUM-
cipal candidates as at the present moment.
This is because they went to the polls in
goodly numbers and made their own choice Of
candidates.
It was perhaps good thing after all that
the methods that have prevailed in the city
council were opened up and put under the search
light Of public opinion just before this election
The coming administration will be full Of busi-
ness Things will be done more in the open.
There will not be so many things cut and dried
in the committees. Perhaps you have noticed
that it has been taking about half of the eve-
ming before the council could get into session
at all.
The citizens of Great Falls are taking very
definite positions about what they want in
this city as we begin reconstruction after the
war. We hear the same discussion every
where.
City government should be just as efficient
as may be possible within the current revenues.
Any city ought to keep within it's revenues.
Public improvements should be pushed with
progressive energy just so long as they do not
become over burdensome upon the property
owners.
Keep the streets and alleys clean the whole
year around.
These are good contentious. The Tribune
hopes that the voters will continue their interest
in all of these questions. If they will do so we
shall have big vote All we ask in behalf of
the democratic candidates is-study their ability
to perform the municipal work that is required
in each office. We think that they will stand
the test. The logical conclusion is therefore that
they will win.
Great Falls daily tribune., 1919-03-27

from American markets, was the fortunate ac-
cident which forced its birth. Explosives, am
monia, benzol and dyestuffs had to be produced,
and the other products followed as natural
result The Germans developed the process.
Without knowledge of the German methods
and without the use Of the German by-product
oven, it would have taken American chemists
a much longer time to produce by-products. But
fortunately, these were at hand. A small model
Of the German by-products oven, which is now
being used in large number of American coke
plants, is on exhibition in the museum, but it
is such complicated affair with so many differ
ent doors, retorts and pipes, that it would take
an engineer or chemist properly to appreciate
it.
Thus, the United States stands to gain
brand-new industry with almost unlimited pos
sibilities from the war; if it succeeds in holding
out against the renewed efforts of the German
coal by-products industry to supply the world.
DR.. Gilbert calls attention to one bright ray of
hope That lies in the rapidity with which our
supply of anthracite coal is disappearing. In
comparatively few years we will be facing the
necessity of burning bituminous coal and living
in continual blur of smoke, or of putting it
through by-product plant which will remove
all offensive gases. An interesting new exhibit
has just been added to the collection Of the
National Museum here. 1t consists of two
hundred pound lump Of coal, and about six hum
dred little glass bottles. containing various pro-
ducts that can be made from this lump. The
exhibit, however, is not quite finished. When
it is, there will be 14OO of these little glass bot
ties. These exhibits represent the achievement
of the new Amrican coal products industry.
We cannot get back the gold dollars that have
gone up in dirty smoke, but we can stop the
stupendous waste of natural wealth.
Great Falls daily tribune., 1919-03-27
THE ONLY HOPE OF PEACE.

There is hardly any end to the league of ma
tions controversy. There cannot be any logical
finish except to adopt some sort of a compact
and try it out.
Senator Reed made speech down in Kansas
City Tuesday evening and he floundered into
the ridiculous position that some defects had
been found in the provisions that have been
advocated over in Paris, therefore we should
oppose having league of nations at all. Won
derful logic that 1t would be as sensible to
urge that the constitution of the United States
is failure because some of its provisions are
not perfect or the best that could be devised in
the light of experience.
Some one else over in another fault finder
corner complains that President Wilson should
have had more consultation with some of the
august senator's in Washington. President
Lowell in his able speech the other day pointed
out that neither the constitution or the laws
of the United States require any such thing.
Besides what good would it do for Mr.. Wilson
to consult Senator Sherman or Senator Borah
about anything?
Woodwork Wilson might as well call a con-
ference on the general welfare of the American
people with the devil himself. The patriotism
of those gentlemen is "too thin They are
about scared stiff lest somebody shall step on
the tail of their senatorial togas and rip the
buttons off the front.
One of the London writer's for the Chicago
Daily News has within his correspondence three
sensible paragraphs which are here quoted:
Peace and orderly government are hu-
manity's supreme need This need accounts
for the vitality and persistence of the league
Of patinns idea What infnrnati sfu-
dents as. themselves is, 'How can the world
get and keep peace and orderly govern
ment?" And these students answer in
chorus, "Only through league of nations
Nations living apart from one another or
in opposing groups have been failures Their
most catastrophe failure appears in the
world war They could not prevent this
disaster, which has shaken the foundations
of all civilized life Neither if they remain
apart can they prevent like caamities in the
future. Only world solidarity can prevent
them.
Of the fathers and mothers of America
these Americans in London would ask: "Do
you want to send your sons to Europe to
face death again? Do you want to turn your
peaceful, prosperous country upside down
again? Do you want again to pour out
vast flood of money for war? If not, sup
port now these international measures,
which give the only substantial promise of
international peace"
We could not keep out of another world war
any more than we could keep out of the pres
ent one. That's why the people of the United
States are for some or any reasonable method
to preserve peace.
