THINK THIS OVER

Some people take an active inter-
est In the affairs of their town.
Some are passive, others are indiffer-
ent, and a few are negative.
The active ones are always on the
alert to devise ways and means IF
improving local conditions. Their
good work is to be seen on evsrv
hand. They make the town.
The passive ones are content to
view the work of others without any
particular desire to criticise and
with no effort to assist in any way-
They simply benefit from the labors
OF the active ones.
The Indifferent element is not q
particular asset to any community.
SO long as they get what they want
the welfare of the rest of the popu-
lat1on is of no concern to them.
They extract much from others and
give little in return.
The negative man is hardly a.
Tar down in the scale as the indiffer-
emit one. He keeps an eye on what
is taking place, but his principal
object is to criticise and obstruct.
He does no particular harm because
he is greatly in the minority, but
he frequently does his town a dis
tlnce service by uncovering defects
in new projects which might other
wise slip through Undecided.
Have you ever catalogued the
men of this town? Do you know the
class to which each one belongs?
Do you realize your own status?
1t is worth your while to devote
a little time to the study of human
nature. You will learn much Of
others, and sometimes more OF your
own characteristics You might
even find that your personal habits
and customs would benefit by
change here and there.
None of us are perfect. We may
never hope 10 be But q calm and
study OF cur minds and
hearts might result in eleva ting us
to a class above that which we now
occupy.
In any event it would be a step
in the direction Of community bet
terment and personal advancement.

THE OFFICIAL VOTE

The Bourbon County Board of
Election Commissioners, composed of
Will G. McClintock, M R. Jacoby
and Denis Dundon, met at the court
house in this city Tuesday, and
made an Official canvass of the vote
cast in the Democratic primary
election, held last Saturday.
The official canvass revealed but
few material changes in the vote, the
discrepancies noted being of small
note. The corrected table as pre-
pared from the official canvass of
the votes is given on page four of
this issue of THE NEWS, and will
be valuable reference for the
future.

Wednesday. The building is the

Slight remodeling will be neces-

two-story brick with IL rooms, and
is only about 100 yards from the

THE PRIMARY ELECTION AND
ITS LESSON

Now that the election is over we
will miss the glad handshake of the
candidates who have been so solicit.
GUS concerning our health, our wives
and babies, our crops, in fact they
have assured us that if elected oul
every wish would be granted. They
have all been so nice and courteous
that the only regret we, the voters
have, is that we did not have an
office for each of them. They were
a fine bunch of fellows and it was
hard for many to decide for whom
their vote would be cast
The primary is over. There were
differences, of course, but majority
vote always settles the matter, and
if we would be Democratic, we say
so let it be. In some of the races
just closed we received aour choice
for the nomination, but in others we
did not, but we bow to the will Of
the majority, and will contend for
the full ticket until after the Novem-
Der election. We are assuming, CT
course, that all the Democratic nom
inees will be elected in November,
because they will receive the united
strength of the party, which will in
sure success of both the city AMI
county ticket.
But after the nominees have been
indicted into Office they must not
be remiss to their duty, they must
toe the mark, they must earn their
salaries, or they will hear from the
people in words not spoken in &
whisper. The successful ones will
find themselves face to face with the
real problems incident to the duties
of their Office. They will find some
of the things they had imagined they
would do are beyond their power.
We are assuming that when they
have adapted themselves to their sur
and their responsibilities,
that things will be about as they
used to be.
Our tabulated election returns
give all of the results and how it
was that each candidate, be he sue
cessful or not, will have a story to
tell. We have nothing but facts
and figures, and they cannot lie.
The nominees head our columns, thu
party has spoken, and so have we.
Now kiss and make up!

COMING OUR WAY

Most everybody in America, while endorsing the idea OF Presi-
dent Harding in calling the conference for the limitation of arma-
ment, held the opinion that there would be a great deal OF what we
are pleased to term "old-world diplomacy" to contend with in the
deliberations OF that body. Contrary to these expectations, and
rather astonishing on the whole, is the apparently utter absence of
secret pacts, or manouvering for advantage which characterized
the last great world conference Of this nature. That the present
conference possesses a great international Importance is evident
by the contemplation of the standing of the nations involved and
There is a great difference in Americas position IN the pres
ent conference and that which it. occupied in the Paris-Varsailes
conference. There is no contemplation on our part of any ALI
ances which may involve in European quarrels and there has been
no interjection of obscure foreign politics which would becloud the
real issues of the conference which were stated by Chairman
Hughes at the opening in the simplest and most open manner.
There appeared to be a full understanding at the outset of the con-
ference as to the motives of President Harding in extending the
invitation, and so far there appears a wonderful accord with the
spirit of America in meeting the issues In a free and open way,
exceedingly refreshing to those who attempted to follow the pro-
ceedings of the Paris-Versailes conference. So far the present
conference has developed nothing that can be construed as secret
diplomacy. Everything that has been done is understandable to
the average reader of the daily press and merits the conviction
that it is dominated by American ideals of justice and open and
above7board common sense.

%TRANsITORY CONDITIONS

Change is inevitable and cannot be halted by human power
There is no such thing as standing still, and upon this natural law
all hope of the human race is based. And still there are many VINO
get into the habit of thinking that things as they are Will continue
to be indefinitely so. In times like the present especially, this TALL
ay appears to take a stronger hold. The reality is that good
times are Just as inevitable as bad times and there is no more pos
sfbidty Of staving them off than there Is or hating the onward
march of the solar system.
What Montana has done before can and will be done again.
Even now there is light on the copper horizon with the rapid de-
cline in the volume of surplus stocks and the consequent advance
ment in price. The stockmen see a better future In beef prices
that at least show a stability they have lacked in months, while
the wheat producer is optimistic over a soil that contains more
moisture at the present time than it has contained for several
years past.
Getting down to facts, what the farmer has accomplished in
the past under worse conditions than those of the present he can
do again. He used to raise wheat for so cents a bushel, haul 1t
long distances over bad roads-and somehow prospered. He sold
his beef at three and four sents a pound-and got by. He had lit
tie or no market for dairy products or vegetables-and lived just
the same. 1t is true his land wasn't worth much and his tax bur-
dens rather light, but these are things that time will change also
We have already admitted that business conditions in Mon
tana have been depressed. 1t is not usual for Montanans to make
admissions of that sort and it is now high time to forget 1T. Mon
tana has not lost one dollars worth of its wealth of natural re-
sources, which, counted as a whole, have been barely touched. In
many sections of the state this years crops have proven that the
productivity of the soil is absolutely unimpared. Few, indeed, of
its mines have been worked out, while millions of tons of ore are
already developed ready for the miners pick, and no one can say
how many tons still lie in its mountains awaiting the lucky dlscov-
erer. The beef and dairy herds are increasing each year and are
guarantee enough in themselves alone to make Montana one of
the wealthiest states of the union. There is not a chance to stave
off the prosperity that is as surely coming to Montana as the fact
that Old Sol will rise and set tomorrow.
