Building Boom Is on
at Whitefish; Larger
Postoffice Result
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Whitefish, Aug. 16-Whether it il
due to the promise of bumper crop in
the valley or other conditions, White
fish is experiencing building boom at
this time that will mean much to the
future of the western city. No less
than twenty-five dwellings are now in
course Of construction or being re-
modelled. Besides this, the new Rob
inson block on Central avenune is near
ing completion and the new concrete
and brick Presbyterian church is
nearly done. J. A. Robinson has rent
ed the new block to the Star Clothing
and Shoe company, owned by /. L.
Prudential and to the Rexall drug
store of R. F. Haines, the former to
occupy the corner building.
When the drug store is moved to the
new location the walls between their
old location in the First National bank
block and the present quarters Of the
postoffice will be removed making a
much larger room for the post office
At present Postmaster Horstman is
badly cramped for room and no less
than 800 additional call boxes will be
needed in the new location to care for
the increase in patronage of the White
fish office, which has grown enormously
the past few months.

brings on war. And this monstrous
doctrine from Republican point
Of view finds its place in an i'm
portant official document sent out
to foreign nations by order OF the
Republican president and signed by
Secretary Of State Hughes. In in
viting the principal military and
naval nations Of the world to come
to Washington through their rep
resentatives and discuss doing
away with war preparedness in the
future, Secretary Hughes says that
preparedness is mot only with
out economic justification, but is
a constant menace to the peace Of
the world rather than an assurance
Of its preservation" Woodrow
Wilson might have written that
sentence. It is exactly in accord
with his theories. William J..
Bryan might have written it. He
has said practically the same thing
on a hundred platforms. He has
preached it all his life. But COM
ing from the secretary Of state of
Republican administration set
ting forth for foreign statesmen
the views Of a Republican presi-
dent, it surely has a strange sound.
Theodore Roosevelt must turn ov-
er in his grave if he can know
that such high heresy has now been
implanted in the White House un-
der Republican administration.
How he would thunder against the
abandonment of his "big stick"
principles were he yet alive. And
we think that good many sena-
tors and congressman who for years
have been denouncing the Wilson
administration for lack of mill
tary and naval preparedness in
time of peace must have a queer
feeling at the pit of their stomach
as they read the pronouncement of
Secretary of State Hughes giving
endorsement to another of
Woodrow Wilson's theories of
government and policies Of state.
And at that Secretary Hughes
states the truth as Wilson saw it,
as the Democratic party saw it, as
this newspaper has always seen it,
and as the American public is gen.
orally coming to see it.

What About
Preparedness?

TN times of peace prepare for war
Is maxim we have often
heard from the lips of statesmen.
Theodore Roosevelt was an out
spoken and prominent advocate of
this school Of craftsmanship. He
believed In carrying "a big stick"
and was an ardent admirer of the
German emperor's style Of pre-
paredness. A great deal of fierce
criticism was directed at Wood
row Wilson by the Republican
leaders because he had not spent
more money on the army and navy
before the country entered the war
against Germany. The Republican
statesmen nearly all harped on that
string,
And now we find the Harding
administration through Its secre-
tary Of state turning Its back on
preparedness and actually giving
endorsement to the Wilson heresy
that Preparedness for war in times
Of peace is an iaceative to war and

PLANS ARE DRAWN
FOR TOURIST ARCH
Automobile Dealers and Park
Board to Pass on Design
for Camping Grounds.

The Great Falls Automobile Dealers
association and the city park board will
jointly consider plans which have been
under way during the summer for
erecting a suitable arch entrance at
the tourist camp, Specifications for
an arch have been drawn and both
the park board and the automobile deal
ers viii examine them before decis-
ion az to their acceptance is reached,
The specifications were discussed
Tuesday at the weekly meeting of the
Automobile Dealers association and
the park board will probably take ae-
discussed preparstiens under way for
attending the annual convention Of the
Y-G Bee Line association at White
Sulphur Springs next Saturday. Eight
members OF the automobile dealers
organization have thus far registered
for the trip and it is probable that the
aumber will be increased before the
date.

Music and Laughter Heads
Weeks Vaudeville Bill.

"a Little Cafe" with Martin B. Lee
in the comedy role and tiny Baby
Dorothy Olive as the real feature,
heads this weeks Pantages program
at the Grand. This twenty minute fro
lie of music and laughter is presented
with an elaborate and effective stage
setting. There are girls. costumes,
and silk stockings. but dainty Dorothy
Olive with her baby smile and her
cute songs is the shining light.
If you are contemplating an ocean
voyage, see Gates and Lee in State
room 49,. and maybe you'll change
your mind. AS Grace says. its bad
enough to have the PORTFOLIOS locked
and a violent storm outside without
having the stateroom equipped with
twin beds.
Lew Wilson has been in Great Falls
before but this time he brings brand
new line of stories and clever lmita-
tons. Lew sings. whistles. dances,
vodels. plays the accordion and brings
his Irish" friend on the stage as a
final surprise. This original enter
tainer made a decided hit last night.

few old ones in their lively number.

and that is not basoiutely essential
to the we'll being of the nation. Il
they have the nerve to do this they
can cut down taxes in 1922 and the
years that follow. We would like
to say that we could detect signs OF
a stern resolution to do this. We
can't. Congress is looking for
votes in November, 1922, to insure
it's reelection. It has not made
good on its former pledges. It
can't. It has sined away its day
of grace as the divinity doctors
used to say. It's only hope now is
to deceive the people into believ-
ing that it has done what it prom
ised them it would do and failed
to do, and is now unable to do.
The tax revision bill is its best
effort to accomplish that decep-
ton. It is the best they could do
and as good as we expected them
to do. Enough said.

va1np Still Seeks
Husband Who Must
Have One "Crand''

The 81 600 husband still eludes
the grasp Of TheIma Jesswein, the
"baby vamp of Chicago" who ar
rived In Great Falls last Thursday
in search of volunteer.
But the seeker stated Tuesday
that she has not given up hopes,
figuring that it takes q couple OF
days for newspaper readers to con-
slider her unique proposition. Miss
Jesswein emphasized the fact she
is in earnest In her statement that
she wants 81 900 and husband, but
failed to reveal tho crying need for
the "grand." She admitted that
others might have similar need
and would be willing to accept 4
husband for the amount but wore
too proud to admit their want.
Great Falls "movie" fans will
have an opportunity Of hearing the
proposing damsei sing Friday and
Saturday afternoons and evenings
at the calitoi theater.
Bill Steege, manager of the Cap
itol, fell a victim to the "vamptng
nerve" of Miss Jesswein aad she
appeared at the Grand theater
Tuesday afternoon for rehearsal.
Steege apparently was charmed
by her warblings. She was engaged
for the two days.
Miss Jesswein changed her resi-
dence Tuesday and refused to re-
veal her new location.

G. N. Boiler Inspector Grasps
Death as He Falls; 10
Volts Prove Fatal.
Sneeial to The Tribune

Special to The Tribune
Havre, Aug, 16.-Joe AntoI. age AZ,
boiler inspector for the Great Northern
railroad here, was electrocuted early
Tuesday morning at the Great Nor
thern shops by the loose end Of an
electric light wire. Antol had just
come to work and was in the act of
inspecting boiler, having mounted the
platform to the engine and opened the
fire box door. The tender had been
taken away from the engine and when
Antol stepped to open the door, he
slipped and fell, grasping the light wire
connected to a specially adapted globe
for flue testing and jerking it from its
socket as be went.
Antol fell backwards off the rear end
of the engine into the engine pit, in
which lie six inches Of water. The
end of the light wire which he carried
with him struck his face as his body
hit the water and the full no volts
of electricity passed through his chin
and along his body, causing instant
death.
The blue sparks from the loose end
Of the wire playing over the water and
the body in the pit attracted several
men to the spot at once. The body
was taken to the superintendent Of
flee where DIR. Almas was summoned.
Antol was pronounced dead and the
body was taken to the Holland under
taking parlors. A coroner's jury was
called by the acting coroner, Judge
W. B. Pyper. Antol is survived by a
wife and five children. It is thought
that his life was well covered by in
surance. He had been employed by the

There were 200 men on the various

the grain in the valley is now cut
and threshing is going on in full blast.
As the result of the action of Hhe
thresherman's association in making
the prices the same as last year, s
cents for wheat and 5 for barley and
oats, a number of farmers have pur
chased small separators which they
operate with a Fordson tractor. These
machines have been threshing for 312
