BLAMES PASTORS
FOR CRIME: WAVE

The following is a brief report
from the Madison Journal of a sermon
given by Rev. Henry Guy Goodsell,
pastor of the First NJ e. church at
Madison, formerly a minister in Bara-
boo, delivered a few evenings since.
Ministers who "are trying to heal
the cancer of the worlds wickedness
with soothing syrup face responsible
ty for the crime wave that has been
sweeping the country. This was the
charge of the Rev. Henry Guy Goodsell
in a sermon at the First NJ e. church
on the subject, 'Is America Endan-
gered by immortality"
1.-THE disorders of today-the reds,
the riots, the robberies, the murders,
the pvice and immorality--these are
sweeping over America because men
have lost their faith in God" said DR..
Go0dsell.
"And one reason men have lost
their faith is because the pulpits Of
America have not been on the job.
There are many preachers in America
today who are preaching pretty ster-
ilized little sermonettes on ethics
when the Captain of Our Salvation is
calling them to endure hardness and
battle for righteousness. They are
trying to heal the cancer of the
worlds wickedness with soothing
syrup. They are sprinkling perfume
on the putrid iniQuities of a rebellious
people"
DR.. Goodsel declared lawlessness is
rampant today, and the best medicine
for this disease would be for every
pulpit in the nation to thunder fear
lessly forth the justice and judgments
Of a righteous God America, he said,
is suffering today from worldliness,
which he defined as sensuality, covet-
BUSINESS and vulgar display.

The New York Legislature is ex-
pected to refuse to give New York
City the aid which it's government de-
sires, by helping it to cover the de
hcit Of $27,O00,0OO in it's appropria-
tiOns for schools says Harvey's Week
ly. That is because there would have
been no such deficit and no need nor
danger of one, if the finances Of the
city had been managed with ordinary
honesty and judgment. The city will
not get help, because it does not de-
deserve it. 1t would of course be a
lamentable thing for the public schools
to be closed at mid-year for lack Of
funds. Yet worse things might hap
pen to the city than that, and the les
son might be cheap at even such a
price if only the city were enduringly
taught never again to elect Hylan
to the Mayoralty or to commit it's in
terests to Tammany Hall Some time,
however, we expect to see a vastly
larger measure of State aid extended
to all municipalities for their schools,
in such a way that all places will con-
tribute according to their ability to
a general school fund and then all will
in turn receive from that fund accord
ing to their needs. Precisely that is
now done in many states for the main
tenance of roads, and we reckon that
roads are no more important than
schools.

Indians of the Blackfeet reserva
ton in northern Montana are grad
ually being placed upon a self-sup.
porting basis through a system which
has been inaugurated by F. G. Camp.
bell, superintendent of the reserva
ton, and it is expected that they will
this season harvest the largest grain
and vegetable crop ever produced by
them and which in most instances
should furnish them with sufficient
provisions in those lines to carry
them through the winter.
Heretofore, the Indians, although
situated upon some of the most fer
tile lands in the state, have taken
very little to agriculture and have,
as a general thing, produced but lit
tie. Under the new system of visi-
tation and encouragement which Mr..
ECampbell installed last spring, nearly
every farmer of the reservation now
has in some crop and it is expected
that several thousand acres of wheat
will be harvested as a result.
Big Increase in Crops
Last year in one of the three dis
tricts into which the reservation is
divided there were but four fields of
wheat on Indian lands. This year in
the same district, more than 100
fields are in crop.
Last winter when Mr.. Campbell ac-
copied the office of superintendent,
after many years in the Indian SER
vice in this and other states, he did
so with the firm determination to
improve the conditions of the Indians
of that reserve, and to place them
upon a self-supporting foundation.
He decided that to accomplish this
end he must put himself in personal
touch with the head of every house
hold of the reservation, which is
of about 5000 Indians, and
to do this he worked out a plan of
personal visits. Last spring he start
ed out on his first round of the res
ervation and has since visited most
of the homes of the Indians.
Stopping at a home he made a
census, ~ascertaining the personnel of
the family, the number and condition
Of the ranch buildings, the number
head of stock, the financial con-
1ition of the farmer, the amount of
acres he had in grain or garden, and
then advised with him as to what
Kind of crops and how much he
plant and where he should
put it.
Took Photos of Indians
He took a photograph of the Indian
his wife and family and in some
instances of the farm buildings and
hen obtained from the Indian his
promise as to what crops he would
tut in and what provisions he would
make for the care of these crops.
All of this he recorded and then
ompiled a loose leaf record in which
e inserted photograph of the In
ian, the conditions as he found them
nd the Indians promise for work
.uring the year. The original of this

EARLY A BUTTE:
SOME STATISTICS
FIVE MEN WHO FIRST TOOK UP
THEIR RESIDENCE ON
TOWNSHIP
G. w. Newkirk and Dennis Leary
Built First Habitation; Thomas
O'Connor Established Saw Mill in
1854; in 1867 Population of the
Town Was $50.

The first five men to take up
their residence on the present site
of the city of Butte were p. ALI
son, G.. O. HUMPHREYS, Dennis
Leary, H. H. Porter and Herb
Mathewson. According to Leary,
their seniority rights as residents
is in the order given. Dennis Leary
OF Omaha, Neb., is the only one
living today.
Thomas H. O'Connor erected the
first sawmill in 1854 or '65.
G. w. Newkirk came from Alder
Gulch in 1864, at which time there
was not a house on the present Butte
townsite. He, together with Dennis
Leary, T. G. Porter, and Humphrey
brothers, were the first to build one
1t was located on Quartz street, and
was later part of the Girton house,
which is still standing. In 1869, this
property was sold to Mr.. Girton for
500 and in 1885 was valued at
$4,000.
A small smelter, long since disap-
peared, was erected in 1857 to work
ore taken from the Parrot mine.
Population Was $50
In 1867, the town had a population
of $50, of which number more than
800 were unmarried men. This pop
ulation had dwindled to almost moth
ing after the placers played out, and
the value of the Butte silver lodges
became known in 1875, at which time
the foundations of the present city
were started.
The first directory was published
in 1884, and contained 4,888 names.
According to old records of the
Utah-Northern railroad, Butte ship
ments over that road in 1883 totaled
9~0,772,904 pounds. In 1884 they
had increased to 161,527,609 pounds.
The first passenger train of the
Utah and Northern railroad arrived
in Butte at IL p. M, December 81,
1881, completing the line AT miles
to Ogden, Utah.
The Centennial was the pioneer
hotel of the city, although part of the
house is the original building
erected in Butte in 1864.
In 1856. the entry of Butte

count of there being placer ground

record he forwarded to the IndiaI
department at Washington, D.. G..
which is understood to be the first o.
the character ever received there. A
copy he keeps for his W records.
Later in the year he expects te
make a second and third visit to each
oil these farms to ascertain if the
farmer is proceeding with his work
and to advise with him, and when
the crop season shall have been end
ed the results will be added to Me
records kept in his office and in the
department at Washington.
To Furnish Grain Separator
Seed for the grain fields, and vege-
table patches is being furnished,
wherever necessary, by Superintend-
ent Campbell. When the harvest is
ready to thresh a separator, owned
by the Indian department, will be
sent around and a slight toll will be
taken for the work of threshing the
crop. Later it is expected to install
a small flour mill where the Indians
may bring their wheat to be ground
into flour and here another light toll
will be taken. All of this toll col
lection will be made, not for the pur-
pose of profiting from the Indian,
but with the idea of impressing upon
him the notion that he should be
self-supporting and to do this he
cannot expect to obtain service for
nothing.
When Superintendent Campbell
starts out on his trip over the reser-
walton he is accompanied by the dis
trict physician who examines the
members of the families, especially
the children, for the discovery and
remedying of physical ailments and
defects. With him also travels the
matron of the district who talks with
the women and advises with them in
relation to household duties and the
care of the children. BY all of this
the visitations have a three-fold value
and all cannot but result in an i'm
provement in the moral and financial
condition of the Indian and the bet
ter education of his children.
5n Some Indians IndoIent
Many of the Indians are already
self-supporting but others are indo-
lent and get along with as little work
possible, depending upon govern
ment rations or help from more
neighbors to tide them
over the winters.
1t is expected to review all of these
at the council in the fall
or early winter. Each head of a
which has been visited by Su-
perintendent Campbell will be asked
to inform the council what he has
accomplished during the year and
how nearly he has complied with his
promises of the spring. Being COM
PEELED to admit failure before the
other members of the council, it is
believed, will have a salutary effect
him regardless of whether or
1ot any penalty shall impose for fail
Ire to keep his word.

MONTANA BUSINESS
WOMEN PICK CAMP
STATE ASSOCIATION OF CLUBS
SELECTS SPOT IN LITTLE
BLACKFOOT RIVER.
This Is the First State in the Union
to Organize State Federation Camp
for Business and Professional
Women; Plans for Permanent
Camp Being Made.

Plans have been completed for a
temporary camp on a site on the Lit
tie Blackfoot river selected by the
Business and Professional Women's
clubs of Montana for this year. Mon
tana enjoys the distinction of being
the first state in the Union to
organize a State Federation Camp of
the Business and Professional
Women's clubs.
The camp this year will only be
temporary and tents will be used.
Miss Bertha G. Carroll, Helena,
vice president of the state federation,
is negotiating for tents, awnings and
other equipment and expects every
thing to be in readiness for the open
ing of the camp some time in August.
Next year the camp will be made
more permanent and a large cabin
constructed entirely of logs is being
planned at an estimated cost of ST.
500.
A site for the camp has been Sc
leeted four and a half miles from
Elliston, or the Little Blackfoot not
far from Camp Miracle, the Y. M.
G. A., boys camp. The site is in the
Helena forest and the matter of pro-
curing a permit from the forestry de-
partment has been taken up with
A. H. Abbott, supervisor of the
Helena forest, who has assured the
organization that the permit will be
granted and it will be here as soon
as certain rules and regulations of
the department can be complied with.
The camp will be maintained dur
ing the summer months and will be in
charge Of keepers. 1t will be an
ideal place for members of the clubs
to spend their summer vacations.

MONTANA FAILURES
IN BUSINESS FEW
COMPARATIVELY SMALL NUM-
BIER OF INSOLVENCIES IN
THIS STATE
Banks That Closed During Winter
Have Reopened, and During Past
Four Months Only One Has Closed
Doors; Dun's Review Shows Salts
factory Conditions.

In spite of the fact that the num-
Der of mercantile failures in Mon
tana for the six-month period of 1921
ending June 80 has increased SO per
cent over the anne period in 1920,
the condition is not an ~unfavOrable
one, according to a report made by
Philip S. Rush, state manager of r.
G. Dun & Co. Considering the fact
that there are 10000 mercants in
Montana and that the country is now
in the midst of a readjustment period
the figures are not unfavorable.
For the six-month period it is
shown that there were SIS actual mer-
camille failures in the state, which,
according to the report, is a credit
able showing considering the times.
The list of failures does not include
those merchants who have discon-
tinued their business because of in
ability to continue operations with
a profit. These were not mercantile
i~nsolvencies.
The bank and mercantile situation
in Montana is no worse, according to
the report, than the same businesses
in other parts of the country. Dur
ing the winter period there were a
number of bank failures reported,
but during the past four months but
one failure has been recorded and
those which closed during the win
ter period have reopened. The in
crease shown in the first six-month
period of 1921 owe the same period
of 1920 is in keeping with conditions
throughout the country during the
period of readjustment.
What is normally the beginning
of the quietest period in the year."
the report stated, finds business
more depressed than usual, with no
prospect of an early breaking If the
existing dulIness. Such a situation
occasions nc surprise in a year mark
ed by inevitable and ~far-reaching re-
adjustments, and by various uncer-
.tainties that tend to discourage con-
fident operations for the future. The
favorable phases, of which there are
several, do not exert their customary
influence, while the unsatisfactory
features are magnified in the prevail
ing circumstances. The conservation
now being practiced obviously retards
he commercial recovery, but is a
prudent policy during a time of eco
lomic transition"
The largest number of failures
shown during the period was II in
Nay, with assets set at $17,410 and
liabilities listed at $158,100. March
held but six failures and the assets
we're listed at s48,80O and the liza
at $1,000. There were 10
ess failures reported in June than
n the preceding month and the assets
we're $4,000, while liabilities reach
