The Valley County News of Glas-
gov takes it upon itself in it's last
weeks issue to assume unheard of
jurisdiction in passing judgment or
conviction upon the heads of those
certain Valley county citizens who
were indicted by the grand jury of
that county, says he Poplar Stand
ard in last Fridays issue
Like unto the barbarous judges of
ancient history you have read about
with horror, this little country news
paper slimily coils itself and with one
sweep proceeds to accept the indict-
ments on the new theory which it
concocts, that all men accused of
something are guilty or they wouldn't
be accused; then tries them in the
limelight of its mad columns, without
benefit of counsel, without evidence in
defense, without judge or jury, and
brings in it's cut and dried verdict
"guilty as charged; then pulls in it's
venemous fangs in self-satisfaction-
a new era in radical, twentieth-cen-
tury inquisition has been born.
We would refrain from comment,
but of all the insults to the fundamen-
tai principles of our government, this
should bring down the just condemna-
ton and ire of all fair-minded citizens
who believe in fair play in the admin
istration of justice. However guilty
one may be, however menace to So
ciety he may be, however stepped in
crime he is, good government and
justice DEGREES that he be given a
fair trial at the hands Of tribunal
composed of unbiased and unprejudiced
jurors and Judge, and that he is pre-
sumed innocent until his guilt is es-
tablished beyond reasonable doubt.

WOLF POINT MAN DIES
RESULT OF ACCIDENT


Wallace Smith, a switchman en-
ployed in the Wolf Point yards, pass
ed away at the Deaconess hospital
early yesterday morning as result
of injuries sustained in an accident
last week.
The accident happened when Smith
was attending to his duties on the
"trip" track. It appears that num-
ber of cars had been set out on the
repair track and while Smith was in
the act of removing an iron chain
from one car, another car was bump
ed against the end of the one near
which Smith was standing, pinning
him between them. He was serious
ly crushed and suffered internal in
juries.
DR.. Mowatt was Immediately sum-
moned and everything possible was
done for the unfortunate man. On the
arrival of No. 27 that evening he was
placed aboard and brought to the Dea-
coness hospital here.

TO LINGERING ILLNESS
Pioneer Church Worker Passes to
Great Beyond Following Months
of Suffering.

Rev. Phineas Alvin White passed
away on Sunday afternoon, August 81,
1919, at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. I. H. Dawson, on Fourth avenue
north, after lingering illness.
Funeral services were held on Tues
day afternoon in the Christian church.
The Rev. J. R. Jeffery of the Meth

church assisted in the service. A
quartet, which was composed of Mrs.
w. w. Hurd, Mrs. Theron Halliday,
Christ Halladay and Frank Wood,
sang the hymns selected by the de-

was near. The interment took place
at the Glasgow cemetery.
The following beautiful tribute is
paid to his memory:
"Rev. Phineas Alvin White was
born September 18, 1856 in the state
of Ohio, and died August 81, 1919.
On June u, 1881, he was united IN

Poplar Editor Comments
On Newspaper Trial

Yet, here we have the sad spectacle
of newspaper assuming the role of
judge, jury and all, sweeping aside not
alone the "Hoyle" of newspaperdom,
which condemns such practice, but
likewise the precedents of law which
form the fundamentals of our system
of Jurisprudence.
Freedom of the press is indeed a
sacred guarantee contained in our
constitution, but to palpably abuse
guarantee is as inexcusable in this in
stance as it was for the spreading of
Hun propaganda through he medium
of the press and under the guise of
freedom of the press"
An article such as this, overflowing
with malignity, is designed for only
one purpose, and that an evil one: to
poison the minds of it's readers, some
of whom will likely be later called
upon as jurors to decide the guilt or
innocense Of those indicted. If such
practice was commonly indulged in
how could ever a man, however inno-
cent, obtain fair trial?
The article attacks and violates
good American principles and consti-
:utional guarantees which were good
enough for our forefathers, were
handed down to us by hem, and have
been good enough for US. Fair COM
ment is one thing, radical, indecent
abuse another.
Let a fair jury and Judge decide the
guilt or innocence of the Valley coun-
ty citizens, as we'll as in every other
case. That procedure is neither the
province nor within the jurisdiction of
newspapers, whatever their utter dis
regard and contempt may be for
American liberty and justice.

AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT
A SPLENDID SUCCESS
HIGH QUALITY OF EXHIBITS SHOWN INDICATE
WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY RIGHT
FARMING METHODS IN SPITE OF
THE DROUTH.

The one-day agricultural exhibit
held here last Monday was splen-
did success and was largely attended.
The outstanding feature of the ex-
hibit was the fact that Valley county
produces blue ribbon products on I'M
irrigated land with only few inches
of rain. The exhibits were of high
quality and good indication of what
can be accomplished by the right
farming methods.
The corn exhibit was perhaps the
outstanding one and would do credit
to county fair in the southern part
of the state. The corn was hard and
in condition to be harvested for seed.
The sunflowers exhibited by Mr..
kokkeler We're first class and this goes
to show that here, under irrigation
on our Milk river bottom soil, we can
produce 20 to 25 tons per acre of the
best livestock roughage. The sunflow-
er silage feed with alfalfa makes for
all practical purposes balanced ra-
tion. Sunflower silage is palatable
and has a nutritive value equal to
corn silage. This statement is back
ed by Montana Station Bulletin No.

and of good quality, it also was gath,

grain exhibited was No. 1 and sur.

ed the fair.
The farm bureau gave $68 in casl
prizes in the canning contest. Th'
variety of canned meats, fruits, veg
etables, greens and pickles of all kind
certainly indicated that the canning
campaign put on by the farm burea,
had been fruitful. Everything yo1
could think of from Russian thistl
to squad was canned. All the canning
was done by the one period cold pacl
method recommended by the farm bur
eau. To look at the table of canned
goods would certainly give any one al
appetite and the satisfaction that ou1

tin can method of living.

this crop has come thru the winter in

No winter wheat condition issued for
