Oil Field Activity
Surpasses Belief
Says Harry J. Kelly

Harry J. Kelly, oil editor Of the
Lewistown Democrat News who is in
Great Falls attending to some business
in the federal court. says that the
activity in the oil fields OF Fergus
county almost surpasses belief.
"Refore the summer is over nearly
every section Of the country will have
been thoroughly prospccted," said Mr..
Kelly ''rhe impressive fact in connec
ton with all of the work which is being
done is the part which the larger and
older companies are taking, in it.

part in the development Of the Wyom-

Reasons for High Prices.

OF all the arguments advanced, the
most absurd is that business men are in
some manner organized to maintain the
present high level of values. Singularly
enough it is manufacturers and mer-
chants who are doing the most that
can be done to prevent high prices.
Every one of them is buyer as much
as he is seller. Tanners want cheaper
hides, shoe manufacturers insist upon
lower cost leather, and shoe retailers
would like to buy shoes for less money.
This is situation common to all other
industries. In a general way, il is true
that extra profits are made on rapidly
rising market and severe losses are en-
tailed on declining market. but the
advantage or disadvantage is only TEN.
porarv The time soon comes when the
seller is compelled to buy on the new
market, which checks his profit or stops
his loss, as the case may be.
II is unfortunate that so little is be-
ing done to give the public the real. al
though unpalatable facts regarding the

Suspension of the Socialists.

1t was after consultation with the
attorney general OF the state OF New
York that Speaker Sweet called the
five Socialist assemblymen before the
bar of the House and accused them OF
having been elected on "a platform alb,
solutely inimical to the best interests
of the state of New York and the Unit
ed States 1t was upon motion of the
majority leader that the five men were
suspended until their cases can be heard
by committee of the assembly.
Not with impunity are entire poilti-
cal parties thus prescribed and de-
prived Of their rights under representa-
tive government. This days work may
not mean, as Assemblyman Solomon
predicts, that "the Socialists will have
80 votes in the next assembly 1t
would not be strange If they should
have more than FIVE. And-5 or So
they will have the right to sit.
While we are deporting aliens ON the
ground that they seek to substitute
violence for the orderly processes of
constitutional government, the New
York assembly excludes regularly elect
ed representatives who are citizens, who
were chosen by citizens and who have
strictly followed the constitutional
process. What happened at Albany yes
terday was wanton denial OF the fun

POURING OUT LARGEssEs OK THE


/ COLLEGES.
| The mysterious Mr., Smith OF the
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology
proves to be none other than George
Eastman of Rochester, n. V, the man
who had previously been mentioned as
the user Of the pseudonym in making
bestowments on that and other institu-
lions, Few educational institutions Of
the country have benefited from single
| benefactors as the Massachusetts, lnsti-
tute of Technology; and the best part
OF the matter is that the much favored
institution seems to have merited the
confidence placed in it by the famous
camera manufacturer. Such gifts as
these are to be commended. Yet there
is danger that the act of the multi
millionaires in donating or bequeathing
huge sums Of money will have tend
eney to stop the benefactions from
those unable to give fabulous sums and
thus cut off much needed income for
many an institution. There may grow
up feeling among many people that
only sums in large figures viii be ae-
ceptable to the educational institutions
of the country and that the compare
lively modest bestowments OF the less
wealthy benefactors-at- heart would be
despised or treated lightly. The result |
of such feeling might be the drying
up of the sources of support for many |
an institution with the consequent loss
of power and capacity to do good for
the young men and the young women
of the country. However, that feeling |
is wrong. While a few of the larger I
institutions of the country are receiv-
ing very large sums, the others do not |
expect to be recipients in like manner.
The vast majority OF the colleges and !
universities of the United States are
still going on the smaller scale and
thinking in smaller figures, while at
the same time they are doing their part
in maintaining the progress Of the ma
ton. They at least are pleased to re-
eeive the more modest contributions
the hundreds of thousands, the thou
sands and even the hundreds of dollars;
and, if the truth were known, it would
probably be found that even the great
and richly endowed institutions are still
glad to receive the small donations, as
evidences of loyalty and cooperation if
not as an impetus to great experiments.
So the big benefactions must not over
shadow the small contributions.

Calls Project Extravagant.

II is stated that substantially 40
miles of highway have been surveyed
by engineers under the direction Of
Stoddard b. Bates, state highway com
missioner, for construction during the
present year. This road will be built
on funds furnished jointly by the state
and federal government It is stated
that the 40 miles prospected viii cost
round million dollars, As far as i
known, none Of the construction will
be permanent, such as OF cement or
brick, but all of it will be water bound
macadam or gravel This price of over
1900 a mile for this type of road
seems like an extrayagant and out
rageous figure, The modern traffic of
heavy motor trucks and fast touring
cars il such that no road Of the type
named will stand up under it for long.
Economy would seem to dictate the
construction Of cement or brick paving
at double the cost per mile. Rutland

CURRENT COMMENT
Not Written for Publication.

The Barre Times, as will be seen by
an article appearing elsewhere on this
page, still Processes displeasure with
The Herald for something which does
not appear clearly therefron. 1t Il,
however, fairly plain that no serious
disagreement exists in regard TO the
fact that President Wilson ia a sick
man and win probably never be the
personal and political power he once
was. As to the taste displayed in the
celebrated Moses letter, il IL only fair
to say that it was not written for pub
LEGATION, neither, as we understand it,
was the publication authorized. As to
the essential facts, however, there
seems to be no reasonable doubt. -Rut-

Il harked back to the days OF the
war TO have the report come over the
sea that travellers coming out of Ger
many reported another revolution had
ken place in Germany and that the
row. nment had been overthrow. In
the days OF the censorship during the
war such blind report might have
been expected, inasmueh as Germany
closed the avenues of communication
very closely and refused to let the
world know what was going on inside;
but in the days of peace. Ia months
after the cessation of hostilities and on
the very day when formal peace was
being declared at Paris it seems strange
enough to have reports by travellers"
precede the wire dispatches and the
wireless communication How much
longer is Germany going to keep up
this secretiveness which has been
wrapped about her since the late days
Of July. 1914! That the reports by
travellers" was grossly overdrawn and
were corrected by accurate eommunica-
tion later does not alter the strange
situation very appreciably. Communi-
cation from Germany ought TO be as
free as from other nations of Europe.

Danger in Over Confidence.

With Republicans everywhere conf
dent the party will win sweeping vic
tory next year nothing would threaten
success more than cultivation of the
belief that il cannot lose.
1t can lose, of course. although from
the present outlook there is no ocea-
sion to fear that. But if Republicans
in all sections of the country assume
that victory is assured, blind them
selves to the possibility Of new con
ditions, and 60 about their daily tasks
certain that whoever is nominated will
surely win, there is danger of the cleo
ton being handed to the Democrats.
Too much confidence now might re-
suit in fatal over-confidence later on,

sumo that the election of 1920 has been
