al authority, and hence the conviction
of Senator Newberry is set aside.
This decision has stunned the peo-
pie in certain quarters. 1t is however
much more sound from a legal, OF
constitutional stand point, than the
rule that the interstate commerce
commission can regulate state pass
enger and freight tariffs. Perhaps
the supreme court realizes that it is
time to begin to take the back trail,
and m once more to give the
constitution a strict construction; to
curtail the implied powers of con-
gress and to recognize the rights of
states.
Let US hope at least that the wings
of the bureaucrats are to be trimmed
so closely that they a no longer
soar to the dizzy heights of autoc-
racy.

LIQUOR RAIDER
HAS BEEN NAMED
Eugent Van Vert of Simms Appoinr.
ed Ky Board. Chief State Pro-
hibition Officer.

Eugene Van Vert, organizer, of
many successful liquor raids in Great
Falls and other Montana cities daring,
the last two years, has been appointed
chief state prohibition officer under
the law passed by the last legislature
and will begin duties in the early fu-
ture, he stated Thursday while in
Great Fails. The appointment was
rendered Mr.. Van Vert several weeks
ago by the state board of examiners,
bat announcement of his acceptance
was not made until Thursday.
AS chief prohibition officer, Mr.. Van
Vert will have jurisdiction at any
place in the state, with authority of a
sheriff. His staff will consist of six
deputies when completed, but no APP
polntmentS have as yet been made. A
program intended to defeat whiskey
running and bootlegging will be
launched as o as the officers staff
is organized and it is understood that
activities against violators will be un-
der way in different parts of the state
within a short time.
Mr.. Van Vert has been in the ranch
ing business at Simms for several
years, but has been retrained by live
stock growers and as an operator
against violators since he first located

in the state. Twice within the last wear
he has made important captures of cat
ties rustlers, locating n fugitive on
the east coast and another near the
Mexican border. Before he came to
Montana he was for many years a pro-
fessional detective and has frequently
been associated with operatives of the
Burns agency.
By repeatedly obtaining evidence
against certain offenders when he was
employed by County Attorney H. G..
Helmet, Mr.. Van Vert gained consid-
cradle notoriety in Great Falls. Sew
eral times he personally obtained evil
dence in the same place, each time be-
ing present in person at the raid, but
it is claimed that "the notorious Van
Vert" was never identified by any of
the people whose conviction he OBJ
tanned until he appeared on the witness
stand in federal court last December.
Only one liquor defendant against
whom he or his men have appeared as
witness in district court has been ac-
quilted, officials say. This defendant

Washington, May lin accept
ing the invitation of representatives
of the Allies to send a representative
Of the United States to attend the
meetings of the ~Reparations Com
mission and of conference of the allied
representatives, President Harding is
not departing from his heretofore an
nounced policy of having nothing to dc
with purely European Problems" de-
clares the Republican Publicity Asso-
citation in a statement issued today
through the President of that organi-
cation Honorable Jonathan Bourne
Jr.. Contrary to the representations
%vocates, neither the Republican party
nor it's present executive leader, Pres
ident Harding, has ever advocated ma
tional isolation. Isolation is the term
which the internationalists have taken
great pleasure in using for the pur-
pose of creating the impression that
the United States must choose between
isolation on the one hand and member
ship in the League of Nations on the
other. The fact is that no such choice
need be made.
"Not since the Declaration of In
dependence in l776 has the United
States maintained an attitude of eth
err theoretical or practical isolation.
One of the first acts of the Colonial
Congress was to send representatives
to Europe, particularly to France.
Since that day the United States has
not only maintained diplomatic rela-
tons with all of the other nations
willing to maintain diplomatic but it
took the initiative in inducing Japan
to abandon it's former policy of isola-
ton and to open up both commercial
and diplomatic relations with the 9TH
err nations of the earth.
"There is a vast difference, how
ever, between designating representa-
tives or agents who are authorized
to enter into negotiations and accept
ing membership in a League of Ma
tons under the obligations of a cove
nant which should require the United
States to surrender a very consid-
cradle part of it's sovereignty and sub
ject itself to the decisions of a League
Council or Assembly in which the
United States would have a minor
voice with the combined interests Of
the majority of the nations adverst
to our own.
"Not only in his inaugural address
but in his later address to Congress,
President Harding made it clear that
we stand ready now, as We have al
ways stood in the past, to negotiate
with other nations, to cooperate with
them, and to aid in every way in our
power to promote international well
fare but he also made it equally clear
that the United States must be alb
~solutely free to act in each particular
Nuisance upon its own Judgment as to
its duty and the wise course for it
to pursue in promoting its own in
terests and the interests of the rest
of the world.
"The vital principle for which Presi-
dent Harding contended was indepen-
dence of action, and that independence
is fully maintained in his acceptance
of the invitation to send representa-
tives to the allied conferences"

"ALL SET-LET FER ROLL"

Courier is publishing this weel
parts of the report Of government
engineers OF the oil prospects o
northeastern Montana. We have sup.
pressed that part of the document
which is opinion as to the business
character Of the proposition, believing
that the individual business man who
invests is probably a better judge
than the engineer.
In considering the report remem-
Der that Montana is now numbered
among the oil-producing states of the
Union, with two pipe lines delivering
approximately 5000 barrels daily from
the Winnett field, where development
has been both rapid and sensational
since oil was discovered about one
year ago. The oil is of higher grade
than in any other part of the West,
with possibly one or two exceptions,
containing well up towards so per
cent gasoline.
The report outlines some of the
chances that the prospector will take.
True, the oil game is a gamble; but
so is life; so is most anything. Be-
sides gambling is old stuff in Mon
tana-it is the plungers, the gamblers,
the men who figuratively staked
everything on the double O, that have
made the state. The gambler, or his
prototype, have won the great west
and converted the area of Montana
from a waste to productive civiliza-
ton.
All who sit in on the oil game are
willing to take chances, and from the
report we infer that they are good.
In the game at Glasgow the ball will
be given a fair roll, for we are square
shooters, and every white chip will
be accounted for.

WHAT ABOUT STATE RIGHTS"?

Back in the good old days, about
election times we used to hear much
about estate rights. For two or more
decades after the civil war, a stock
argument of politicians was the tend
ency of the Federal government to
encroach upon the rights of individual
states. The line of demarkation, was
imaginary, but much clearer than at
present, between the rights reserved
by states, and those especially dele
gated to the general government by
the constitution.
For many years the courts Jealous
ly guarded the rights of the states;
this was especially true as to any laws
by congress that could be construed
into police regulations; the conduct
of the internal affairs of states, was
left entirely to the states.
In recent years there has grown up
at Washington a most Furnishing
bureaucratic government. Depart
ments have been sustained in the prac-
tice of making rules and regulations
which in many cases, notably as to
transportation, have infringed upon
the right of the people of the state to
make their own laws. The only power
delegated to the general government,
with regard to transportation, is the
provision of the constitution which
gives Congress the power to REGULATE
commerce among the several states
and with the Indian tribes" Under
this authority congress has created
the Inter States Commerce Commits
sion and that body has proceeded
to regulate commerce., and to legisIate
by way of rules and regulations, UNI
til now it is protected in its right to
say what rate the railroads shall
charge the people of Montana between
points in Montana. This is only a
single instance of the way in which
the bureaus have assumed and exer-
cised implied power, in conflict with
the power reserved to the states by the
terms of the constitution. To para
phase, "the constitution has not
amounted to much between bureaus.
And now comes a decision of the
supreme court of the United States,
which holds in effect that the state
of Michigan has the sole right to pre-
scribe the manner in which its United
States senator shall be elected; that
in passing the law regulating or
rupt practices, ETC., at state elections,
the congress exceeded it's constitution
