A Letter From Mother

There are times when one gets lonely
When friends are far away
When one knows hardly what to do
And hardly what to say.
We like to think Of home once more:
The happy, CHEEKY smile
Where childhood days have all been
spent
We're thinking all the while.
All at once we get a glimpse
While passing from a class
Of something in our mail box
We see in through the glass.
The writing seems familiar
Of course, it is from home
Our hearts are thrilled With gladness
And we're not sad alone.
We read it very carefully,
Without an abbreviatiOn
But it's from Mother just the same
If it hasn't punctuation.
There is a satisfaction felt
which comes from not another
It is the sympathetic words
We read from loving Mother.

to old time prosperity and produc-
ton Of wealth. If we could all have
restored confidence today, we
would have a new business boom in
thirty days. Undeveloped wealth
lies all around US enormous
wealth. It needs only a partner
ship between land, labor and capi-
tai to bring it into realization. But
to bring these factors together and
bind them in partnership we need
the cement Of confidence. A part
nership where the partners are sus-
picious Of each other never works
with full efficiency and often comes
to disaster. There is selfishness
enough in human nature as we all
know. In a few cases it leads to
dishonesty. But in cases of great
emergency we lay aside suspicion
and all act together. We did it in
the great war. We do it often in
times when a crisis threatens. It
is the expression of saving COM
mon sense that tells us it is better
to hang together than to hang sep
arately. The time is ripe for the
saving common sense of confidence
in each other and in human nature
now. It will carry us triumphantly
into the sunlight of new prosper
ity if we will but use it. It is the
salt that preserves the meat of So
ciety. It is the grace that saves
the sinner. It is the characteristic
of brave man and a true man. 1t
is an indication Of a clean heart.
For suspicion is an evil bird. It is
born of ignorance and selfishness.
It's blood is vile and its origin low
and vulgar. It is time for conf
dence-confidence In ourselves, in
our fellow citizens, in our nation
and in humanity as it exists in the
whole world. "This too will pass"
as Lincoln said. A better day is
coming. It is almost here. Stop
hanging crepe. Stop making doleful
predictions. Tell the people you
meet that you are confident, and
act as though you meant it.

CIVIL Or CRIMINAL
ISSUE IS RAISED IN
APPEAL Of SHERIFF.
Rankin Argues Houston Can't
Disqualify Judge; High
Court Weighs Points.

Helena, Dec. 5.-The supreme court
Monday heard arguments in the appeal
of Sheriff W. n. Houston, of Missoula,'
from an order of District Judge
Charles w. Pomeroy, denying the right
Of the accused sheriff to disqualify
him as trial judge. and then took the
case under advisement.
Sheriff Houston has been charged
by Attorney General Rankin with per-
mitting gambling and the state official
filed custer proceedings against hira-
Sheriff Houston filed an affidayi.s
charging that Judge Pomeroy was
biased and prejudiced and asked for
his disqualification. When this was
denied. the sheriff appealed TO the
supreme court for writ of prohibi-
tiop.
Attorney General Rankin, in his ar
gument Monday, contended that the
charges against the sheriff were of
a luasi-criminal nature and that, un-
der the law. he did not have the right
to disqualify judge appointed to hear
the case. attorney r. T.. Mulroney,
representing the sheriff, argued that
the case was civil one and that his
client had the right to disqualify Judge
Pomeroy.

in time of peace congress has often
done the same thing. It will be
remembered that it gave President
Roosevelt ten million dollars to
spend in his discretion for the pur-
chase of a canal route either from
the United States of Columbia or
from Nicaragua, and Roosevelt did
neither thing with the money, but
gave 1t to new republic that
sprung up over night at the Isthrnus
Of Panama. Congress afterwards
approved of this departure from
their instructions in spending the
money entrusted to the president
for a specific purpose.
In our opinion authority ought
to be granted to the executive to re-
arrange the securities we hold for
these foreign debts and the time Of
payment so that we may get what
we can out Of them. Some Of these
debts can be collected very soon.
Some Of them we will doubtless get
in time. Some of them are worth
less. Such are the bonds we got
from the new republic of Armenia,
formed just after the armistice.
That republic does not exist any
more. Part Of it is in the hands of
the Turkish nationalists and part
Of it is in the hands Of the Rus
sian bolsheviks. Poland owes us
money. So does Rumania, Servia,
and other Slav governments whose
finances are not in good order.
Something might be done with these
in the way of salvaging part of the
debt. Great Britain is paying up.
France, Belgium and Italy say they
will pay in the future if we extend
the time for them. 1t is a matter
that can be better handled by the
executive department through d.
plomacy than by congressional en-
actment.
There is also the tariff bill to
consider. That is a much harder
nut to crack. It will take time and
all the influence Of the president to
put it through, and when it is done
it may we'll be that it will be no
more satisfactory to the Repub-
licans themselves and the country
than is the revised tax bill.

GOVERNOR WIRES STOREY, ASKING
HE ADD FOUR CONLEY PROBERS
Acting Governor Says He Has Mind Of His Own That
Matter and Would Not Name Hand Picked Men; Anyhow
He'll Proceed in Prison Case as He Planned.

Governor Story was at his home in
Bozeman and the telegram was read to
him over the telephone. The commit
tee he had appointed consisted of G.
Fl. Mcleod, Of Missoula; O. F. Cod
dard, of Billings, and D. ]. Hilger, of
Lewistown.
The acting governor said he did not
believe he could grant Governor Dix
on's request.

ley's attorneys to have an investiga-
ton made by committee" said Gov
ernor Story. I think that three men
can handle the matter as we'll as sew
en-. And if it were increased / could
not permit anyone. else to name the
members. I plan to 60 ahead as I
have started"
Governor Story said he would re-
turn to Helena and probably would
issue formal statement. He said he
also would announce the appointment
of successor to G. H. Mcleod, who
resigned from the committee on ac-

OBSESSED PRISONER
ATTACKS DEPUTY IN
VIOLENT OUTBREAK
Japanese Had Been Trying 10
Hide in Hills; DeIusion
Was Assination.
Special to The Tribune.

Red Lodge, Dec. 5.-Becomirg sud-
denly violent after having been loctad
up in the county Jail on account Of pc
culiar actions which led neighbors 20
believe he had lost his mind. K KyylIa-
hara, japanese farmer living near
silesia, attacked Deputy Sheriff j. !,
Fleming and two prisoners at the
county jail, and was subdued after Il
battle lasting fully Is minutes.
kWuahara was taken in custody
last Thursday by Constable Charles
Glenn Of Rockvale after his actions
had become such that it was feared
harm might come to him. For about n
week Kwuahara persistently wandered
from his home and attempted to hide,
telling his friends that some person
was attempting to kill him.
Upon being placed in the Jail he
continued quiet and talked matters
over with officers and friends who
called there to see him. He was al
lowed the freedom of the Jail corridor
until Friday evening when other pris-
oners complained that he was threat
ening their lives.
When Deputy Fleming entered the
Jail to place Kwuahara in cell, he
was attacked by the enraged man and
battle royal ensued, the officer and
two prisoners being hard put to handle
the unfortunate man without doing
him serious bodily injury. He was
placed In a cell three times and his
actions were SO quick that he man
aged to escape before the door could
be closed. After finally being placed
in close confinement Kwuahara be-
came quiet and has since shown no
inclination to repeat his outbreak of
Friday.
Kwuahara, who has wife an five
children. has lived in the Silesia and
Rockvals section for nearly 10 years
and, testify neighbors. during that
tik.e has become highly respected. His
apparent insanity cannot be explained.

NEW CONSTITUTION
FOR STATE FAVORED
BY FARMERS UNIONS
MusselsheH Tillers Also De-
mand Refund of County
Money UnlawfulIy Spent.
Special to The Tribune

Roundup, Dec. GA new state CON
stitution is favored by the county or
ganization Of farmers unions and dele
gates will be sent to their convention
at Billings to agitate for the calling Of
a state convention to draw up one.
The action in favor Of the change was
taken at the meeting of representa-
tives of the Musselshell unions in the
commercial club rooms here. 1t was
declared that the present state consti-
tuition has outlived it's purpose and
that the simplification of laws cannot
be achieved until new constitution
has first been substituted for the ex-
listing charter law of the state.
Taking cognizance of statements con-
tanned in the state examiners report
on county affairs, the meeting ex-
pressed a desire that immediate steps
be taken to recover all sums, great or
small, which appear to have been un-
lawfully drawn or withheld from the
county treasury.
Attention was also called TO the fact
that taxes against land and ranch
property seem to be greater than the
agricultural and grazing industries are
able to pay, and it was the unanimous
opinion that radical steps must be
taken unless the land is to revert to
the public.
Summer TliIage Considered
The matter of summer tillage, or
the use of better tillage methods gen.
orally. was reported as being consider
ed with great interest by farmers in the
county and it was statd tha organ
lied effort will be continued by the
Farmers union especially to have
members pledge some acreage, not too
large in amount, to be titled as nearly
as possible in the most scientific man
ner. 1t is desired that q careful and
accurate record be kept Of final re-
suits, so that there will be no ques-
ton after crops have been grown on
this land as to the actual value of the
tillage methods employed.
Regarding reports of families in
want, delegetes declared that no such
cases were known to them personally.
1t was thought that, while there might
be some cases of extreme need in the
county. no farmers actually tilling
their land in a practical way are likely
to lack for food. Need for shoes for
children attending school was believed
to be most pressing, this expense to
heads of families being considerable,
and the various locals were asked to
report any case of lack of clothing,
which, it was thought, could readily
lie supplied.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.

\ FTER an adjournment of few
a days ago congress meets again
in Washington for the regular ses-
sion. 1t has a very full docket,
a great deal Of business being left
unfinished in the senate when the
special session adjourned a few
days ago. Some reader may ask
why the special session of congress
did not keep on grinding away at
their task until the regular session
convened on the first Tuesday Of
December as the law provides.
They might at least have cleaned up
some Of the big bunch of unfin-
ished legislation they left behind
them. For the information of the
curious reader we may say that
once in the past Republican con-
gress did that very thing. They
continued in special session right
up till the regular session opened.
They also paid themselves mileage
to and from their homes, because
"constructivcly" one session being
closed and another commenced
they were supposed to have gone
home and come back. The press
of the country made a great roar
about this bit of sharp practice.
They called it "a grab" "a graft"
and other unpleasant names, and
some of the members were defeated
at the next election. Since that
time congress has been careful to
adjourn in time SO that it is pos
sible for a member to go home and
get back before the new session
begins. AS a matter Of fact it is
probable that most Of them never
leave Washington when the inter-
vening recess" is so short, es-
pecially those that live long dis
tance from Washington, but the
fact that they could have done so
makes criticism less likely if they
draw down their mileage.
One of the measures that the ad-
ministration was most anxious to
get through congress and failed to
get in the extra session was a law
permitting the secretary of the
treasury to make new arrangements
in its discretion for the funding Of
the debts of foreign governments
due the United States. There is
considerable opposition to this
measure on the Democratic side,
and also among Republicans who
object to it in principle as dele
eating to the executive department
powers that pertain solely to the
legislative department. We are not
much impressed with the sacred
character of that principle because
it has been laid aside time and
again by congress which delegated
its financial authority to President
Wilson several times during the
war, notably when it gave him a
hundred million dollars to expend
for things which in his discretion
might aid to win the war. Several
million dollars Of that money, it
will be remembered came out west
to buy seed wheat for the farmers.
A good part Of it never returned to
Washington by the way. But even
