HEAVY RUNNER
When, in 1855, the Blackfeet
tribes gathered at the Missouri
and Judith Rivers, to make a treaty
with Washington, they signed it
only because of the persuasion of
Heavy Runner, chief of the
Pikuni tribe. The treaty recognized
vast Blackfeet hunting ground.
and expressly provided that while
the whites might make trails and
travel through this country, they
were nowhere to make homes in it.
In 1868, gold was discovered in a
favorite hunting ground of the
Pikuni, where the city of Helena
now stands. White men flocked to
the rich places and began to build
town. This angered the tribe,
and under Chief Black Weasel,
(though against Heavy Runners
advice) the Indians began to at
tack travellers.
In December, 1869, President
Grant ordered Colonel Baker, sta
toned at Fort Shaw, to attack
Black Weasel's camp. AT dawn, on
January /, 1870, Baker halted on
point jutting out into the valley of
the Marias River below which
stood the lodges of Blackfeet
camp. The army scout. Joseph
Kipp. informed Colonel Baker that
it was not Black Weasels camp
but that of Heavy Runner, who was
to the whites. Baker
that he did not care
whose camp it was, he was out to
punish Blackfeet. He ordered his
men to shoot to kill and to spare
no one.
The first volley killed many wo-
men sleeping in the lodges. Heavy

Home impressions.

Bushnell Record: O. P. Woodwork
Of Macomb, and representative of the
J.. w. Butler Paper Co., was in the
Record Office Monday Of this week
and stated that he had just returned
from trip in the east, visiting paper
mills for his company and that he
stopped at Dayton, the home of Gov
ernor Cox. democratic aspirant for
presidential honors, and that he was
astounded at the sentiment he found
in the home town of the candidate.
He declares that Cox will carry
neither his home town nor district and
that while he was in a theater in Day
ton, the mention of Cox elected small
applause, while the name OF Harding
was greeted with much acclaim. All
of which leads US to believe that the
people of Ohio and the nation are
hard of hearing as to the Cox cam
paign because they are hearing Hard
ing.

THE HEART loF THE ISSUE.

Addressing the Union League club in New
York City, former Justice Hughes declared that
the progress Of the campaign has shown the ex-
IRENE dissatisfaction of the American people
with the present conduct Of national affairs.
The election will be referendum to the people,
not of the question whether our republic shall
enter a properly constituted league of nations,
but whether it shall accept the Wilson super
state idea. The president could have had
league consonant with American principles
This offered him repeatedly and as often
rejected; and he tenaciously insists upon
super-state the creation of which is opposed to
American interests, principles, traditions and
ideals. The president has made this the heart
of the issue in this campaign; and public opln-
ion, as far as it can be ascertained, and the re-
suits in such states as have indicated their po
sition on the issue, emphatically repudiate the
administration and reject it's policy.

Classes

Farmer and Breeder: When any
one talks to you about classes, tell
him that we have but two classes in
this country-t1le American and the
iun-American The American knows
the strength of his country, and its
faults he is willing to correct by ma
jority rule. The un-American has
been taught to hate all government
and would settle public problems by
direct action" polite term for
plumber and murder. The trouble
with such classes as the poor and
the rich is that they do not stay
classed. The Office boy OF today is
the merchant prince of tomorrow; a
farm boy became president of the
United States: the head OF the
largest bank in New York was a
newspaper reporter a few years ago;
the governor of the most populous
state once sold newspapers in a fish
market. There are thousands Of
such examples. The heads of col
Ieges, railroads, factories. and other
great institutions practically all rose
from poverty. There is but one class
in this land to which decent people
belong-the American class.

That Settles II.

Manufacturers Record: During
the peace negotiations at Paris the
British delegates issued series OF
concentrates on the meaning OF the
revised covenant. They did this be-
cause they wanted to be on record
as not agreeing in full with the official
analysis. <o,>
On the subject of the article CID
dealing with the Monroe doctrine, the
British commentary said:
.Ir its essence it is consistent with
tbe shirt of the covenant, and, in
deed the principles of the league as
expressed in article 10 represent the
extension to the whole world of the
principles of the doctrine; while.
should any dispute as to the meaning
American and European powers, the
leaeue is there to settle 1t.
THAT settles it, so far as Americans
are concerned.

STICKING to One Occupation.

Des Moines Capital: One Of the
speakers at the funeral Of Dean Stan
ton, at Ames, dwelt upon the fact
that Dean Stanton had spent his en-
tire active life and all his working
years in one occupation and at one
place. Dean Stanton went to Ames
as student, After he graduated he
became teacher. The speaker
thought it was quite unusual to find
man who could so manage his am
billions and his purposes as to find
suitable and satisfying work and die
on the field where his activities had
been. The speaker thought there
were not enough men who remained
in one place; that there were too
many who were disposed to fly from
one occupation to another.
In the old world men have more
fixed pursuits. They remain on the
farms where they were born. These
things lead to substantial citizenship
and thorough integrity of character.
Dean Stanton was a mathemati-
clan. By careful management and

to the nationwide movement that calls for lower
prices in wearables and commodities and a
general slashing of figures without regard to

to be congratulated in that they see the desir-
ability of meeting the buying public half way,

RED CROSS RECORD.

Ry an executive order, a little less than year
ago, seven allied welfare organizations which
had been operating during the war were with
drawn from the camps and hospitals OF army
and navy and the Red Cross was continued alone
to render relief service to the armed forces. Al
though the task was enough to stagger stout
hearts in time when reconstruction was de
nlanded out OF seemingly chaotic conditions,
this connecting link between the enlisted men
and their families faced it as the American Red
Cross has faced. every emergency since 1T was
brought into thesGeneya conference IN the year
1881 1882 The workers of it's organization
have ample cause to carry their heads hIgh and
the public which has supported the Red Cross
financially may read the forthcoming report
with a feeling that it's deputies have done faith
fully and well.
Home service cases among the families OF en-
listed men. decreased from 34,015 in December
1919 to 1854 in June, 1920, while the number
81 men in the army decreased from 947 ,506 to
.,31 $40 showing that while the size Of the army
decreased e-fourths, home service decreas-
ed little more than one-half. In the matter Of
information concerning sick and missing men,
In July, 1919 with the army over 9OO,OUD, the
number of cases reported upon was 81 ,947 In
1920, with the army down to 231 OO0 the num-
her of cases was as high as 81 083. Through
home service sections thousands of ''lost men,
were placed in touch with governmental
agencies that could aid them. The organization
provided entertainment for camps and hos
pitfalls, maintained workers in hospitals and
furnished recreation facilities and supplies for
occupational therapy, and even made loans to
patients out Of funds when compensation checks
went astray. During the year in addition to its
hospital and other building work, the Red Cross
was Instrumental in having delivered to sol

haps, being the attention it called to
the power which buyers can WELD

buying.
If the price of clothing generally
does not come down until next spring,
it will be because the dealers are re-
luctant to take loss" on goods al

experience, but sometimes it is not
for the dealers to decide whether they
will take it or not. Henry Ford, who
has been suspected of making auto
mobiles in large numbers, presented
an interesting opinion on that subject

tally he showed again his genius for

The Lenion and Post

Sioux City Journal: The action OF
the executive committee OF the
American Legion in demanding the
removal of Louis F. Post, assistant
secretary of labor in the Wilson ad-
ministrati0n, will meet a hearty re-
Spouse from Americans everywhere.
His presence in the government is
moral stencil. He should have been
impeached long ago. He has violated
the laws with inpunity in order TO
keep undesirable aliens in the United
States and to let others of the same
ilk in. This opposition to him is not
partisan. The legion committee,
which investigated his public con-
duct and recommended his removal,
was composed of three democrats.
They were NJ. K Gordon Of Kentucky,
Wilbur G. Hall of Virginia and Cramp-
ton Harris, of Alabama. Nearly
everyone who spoke in favor OF the
resolution of condemnation stated
that politically they were democrats,
but that they were Americans.
Post is not American. He is as
near bolshevist as 1t is possible to
be in this country without getting
into Jail. He Is mental freak, with
a line OF reasoning in harmony with
that OF the I. w. W. and those IRE
sponsible crack-brained outsiders VINO
Justify their un-American methods
and policies. Yet he is the keeper
of the keys to the immigration doors
of the nation, and President Wilson
is imperyious to all the protests that
have been made against his contnu-
alton in Office.

the national director of the Retail
Clothiers' association of America
there is going to be drop Of some
thing like thirty-three and one-third
per cent. in the price of clothing. 1t
IS not to come until next spring, he
said. but in that he may be mistaken,
inst as he was in saying that what he
called "the overall craze" of a few
months ago had no effect except to
increase the cost of overalls to work
ingmen.
It is true that the overall campaign
didn't last long. and that it's conduct.

but it did have an almost instant and
very noticeable effect on prices at the
time. It had some permanent eonse-
auences. too, chief among them, per-

STAND BY A BRAVE SENATOR.

Des Moines Capital: 1t has been
the custom of voters to say that men
in legislative Offices never have any
courage; that they are afraid OF their
shadows. A distinguished member
of congress, some years ago, was
credited with saying that almost any
man in congress would betray his
country or at least be urfaithful ii
he could thus secure second term.
In other words, the general com
plant is that cowardice characterizes
men in American public life.
The voters of Iowa have a chance
to reward a man for the manifesto
ton of courage at a critical time.
At the close of the war it was neces-
sary to restore the railroads to pri-
yate. ownership. In regard to this
there was no dispute until political
phases of the matter began to ap-
pear. Dema gogues in all political
parties started to play the game"
Demagogues always recognize their
opportunities. Every shipper knew
that the railroads were badly man
aged and that they were losing money
and that losses were being paid from
the public treasury. But there were
thousands who were willing to con-
tinue this wretched condition If by
SO doing they could either gain or
retain political power.
Rejecting upon this situation one
can see the dangers involved. Dema-
gogues are, saying today that IN
creased freight rates are wholly I'M
necessary Fortunately there were
number of men like Senator A. b..
Cummins in the senate Of the United
States. Fortunate it was that Sena-
tor Cummins was chairman of the
committee on interstate commerce.
He became the principal author OF
what is known as the Esch-Cummlns
bill under which the railroads arc
now operating.
II took courage for Senator A. B.
Cummins to do what he did. His
original bill was SO constructed as to
make railroad strikes Impossible.
Every sane American knows that ultl-
mateIy strikes must be done away
with and that there must be reign
OF reason and arbitration, based upon
Justice But men in politieal me
knew that 1t was almost sure politl-
cal death to be pioneer IN opposl-
ton to strikes. However, senator
Cummins' bill was greatly moalned.
The machinery was put IN motfon,
though, which has so operated that
there has been no talk of strike since
the Esch- Cummins bill was enacted.
This piece OF legislation is con-
structive. The people now nave

brave man, man that did right al

sees the plain trend of the campaign
and realizes that he is working up
hill, with the case decided against him
in advance. There can be no inspira'

conditions. He must be longing for
the close Of the misery of the enor.
nous amount of travel and speaking
that he has taken upon himself. To
make upward of sixteen speeches in
a single day was no undue tax for
man Of the physical vigor and nervous
