Telegram fInd.) gives fairly repre-
sentative example of western comment
when it remarks that Mr.. Dawes is
thorough going business man. and IN
no sense of the word a politician.
In consideration of these things, 1t
is seen that President Harding has
made wise selection, Notwithstanding
the fact that the appointment may not
have the approval of partisan members
of congress and the extravagant de
partment heads"
While thoroughly approving General
Dawes the Pittsburgh Leader prog.
Rep feels that in refusing him an
adequate staff Congress has provided
a budget but failed to provide for its
operation, thus showing it to be "a
body with no business ideas, or lack
ing in service to the country" The
Newark On. j. Ledger Ind.) takes
for granted that when Mr.. Dawes
commented on this "pitiful machinery
he realized that Congress sought to
make the system failure before it
was inaugurated" but that he can
"thwart the trickery" by calling for
volunteer assistance. This plan. says
the Wilmington IN. CO Star (Dem.1
suggests breath of that whirlwind
which the public has been hoping for
in Washington and predicts that by
using heroic means" he ought to get
something done by December.
The New York Tribune (Rep.l ex-
presses it's approval of the call for
volunteers from the standpoint of pub
licity. for:
"The more successfully public at
tention is focused on reorganization
of governmental operations, the easier
it will be to rout the forces which will
oppose reorganization from motives
Of self interest"
In depending upon this method Of
securing support, the Cincinnati Times
Star (Rep) sees an example of the
Colossal Dawes faith" since lead
ing business men, may hesitate to
give their services to a government
which after the war submitted them to
endless inquisition." A similar view
is taken by the Asheville On. CO
Times (Rep) which believes that un-
doubtedly many highminded and cap
able business men will consider it a
privilege to serve their nation this
way" but, it asks. will the government
In turn undertake to guarantee to these
men that they will not be subjected to
the criticisms" which were visied upon
others who served their country IN
notable manner during the war and
vjsre rewarded with being charged with
scheming and dishonest selfishness"
The plea for volunteer aid says the
Fort Wayne Journal Gazette (Dem)
may meet with response-may not,
but business. suffering from over-tax-
alton, has an interest in the budget
and may respond"
The New York World (Dem.) does
MT like the idea at all. It says:
'"The trouble with the situation as
1t exists and has existed from time i'm
memorial is that too many heads have
had to do with it. The great object
of the budget legislation was to substi-
tute one supervising head in the busi-
ness for many heads. How one hun
dred new heads are to help in effect
ing the substitution is not exactly
clear"
Some writer's feel that the Dawes ap-
pointmcnt means . hitter. fight with
congress. IF he givsc an inch he will
b. taken and bound in red tape and
cast into outer darkness. says tho

THE FIRST ROUND

THE interview between Attorney
I Nolan representing Ex-War-
den Conley and Governor Dixon
does not add much to the facts
which may or may not develop IN
the controversy.
The governor appears to be act
ing entirely within his legal and
constitutional rights in the ap-
pointment of special Investigator
to examine into the affairs OF the
state prison if he sees fit so to do.
He is also acting within sane pub
lie policy provided he has good and
sufficient reason to honestly be-
lieve that there has been wrong do
ing at this state institution. In
other words the justification Of
Mr.. Dixon's probe depends upon
what the investigation produces
Yhe governor surely will have to
prove his case or the end of the
stick that he has hold Of will have
the tar on it. ...
On the other hand it is entirely
natural for Mr.. Conley to be sollc-
itous about having the personal
representative of the governor col
lect evidence and then pass upon
it. Colonel Nolan objects to this
judicial method and we think we
would do likewise if we were Mr..
Conley's attorney. If there is any
politics in this attack upon the
conduct of the state prison it
should be squeezed out before any
decisions are reached involving
blame. ........
The attorney general might prop
erly make a few remarks. either
with or without the approval OF
the governor, if Investigator Mac
Donald or anybody alse is able to
present anything of Importance.

the people Of the city are spend
ing as much money as they are now
for gasoline and for general pleas
ure.
The Y. M. c. A. building ought
to be kept open if there is only
one paid salary in it, and if all
of the other supervision is done
by volunteer work. We are not
advising that any such thing be
made effective but simply indi-
eating what would be a wise course
Of action in an extremity.
To be perfectly frank we think
that some of the troubles of this
institution are due to rather loose
management when times were bet
ter. That is history. The COM
munity did not pay proper atten-
ton at the time. That is partly
our own fault. We may as well
forget it.
The present board of control we
think has been working pretty hard
in the face of adverse conditions.
The situation does not warrant
closing--it does require some new
effort and further discussion of
ways and means.

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
WAR

AVE you noticed that the Unit
1 l ed States senate is continu-
ally supporting big appropriations
for the army and the navy-par-
ticularly the navy. The senate can
at times economic in some other
direction than these two. 1t is al
ways looking for the outbreak of
a war. 1t is eternally ready to
listen while naval officers try to
make out that their business is the
most important on earth. The sus-
picion gets stronger and stronger
that it has too many friends who
wish to build battleships.
This is no time to carry forward
costly military experiments that
require the. expenditure of mil
lions of money. 1t is in order to
scrap a lot of naval equipment that
we already have if we can get
England and Japan to do likewise
These nations both say that they
are ready to do so.
The United States senate is to-
day standing for war and future
conflict stronger than any other
body in the wide world

THE Y. M. C.. A.

THE Y. M. e. A. organization in
- Great Falls is having trouble
with its finances. This is not sur
prising. Pretty nearly everybody
else is similarly afflicted.
The question that now sticks up
like a sore thumb for an answer
is what are we going to do about
it. Here and there somebody says
-"close the doors for a time"
Over against such advice The Tri-
bune would speak up with a most
emphatic mo" The time has not
come for such action until Great
Falls is whole lot harder up than
is the case at the present moment.
The closing of a useful public in

not be seriously considered while

MORE UNEMPLOYMENT

IN SPITE Of the fact that men
1 have been put back to work in
some industries over the country,
still the department of labor at
Washington finds that unenploy-
ment is on the increase. There is
little hope of improved conditions
in the United States when more
and more of the artisans are getting
into idleness. When people do not
produce they are using up surplus
money.
In many large cities there are
by no means enough homes to
house the people. Rents have not
come down and craftsmen are
striking so that building cannot be
done. It is surely problem where
the American people are going to
live next winter. Under these con-
ditions it wouldn't do much good
if more money was available. In
dustry could not use it.
The United States Is a resource
full country. It always gets along
some way, but there is cause for
serious concern if the tide of UNI
employment keeps mounting high
er during the summer months when
the laboring people usually accum-
ulate little surplus.

Dawes has much Of congress- and
of officialdom to whip. 1t isn't

He is perhaps headed for the licking

know Dawes can predict, will be real

NEEDS PUBLICITY

\ FTER weeks of time had been
~ used in discussion peace res
olution was passed by congress
technically ending the war with
Germany and Austria. What good
did it do. Nobody outside of
Washington cared very much
whether the resolution passed or
not. The world paid little atten-
ton. Nothing was materially af-
fected except a number Of war
time regulations that were de-
pendent upon a state of war, and
perhaps some property rights that
could not be adjusted until there
was technical peace.
This peace resolution, which is
two and a half years late, created
so slight attention in the world
that advisers of the president. are
now saying a proclamation is re-
quired to advertise it. So far as
bringing the world back to perma-
nent peace is concerned it has
about as much vitality as dead
mackerel. Such proclamation
would properly start off with a
whereas apologizing because it has
taken the Republican party more
than two years to tell the world
that the United States has decided
to stop fighting.

LOOKING TO INDUSTRIAL
PEACE

THE Tribune has been slow in
l the expression of opinions
while labor contentious have been
dragging along in this city. 1t
has tried to keep its news reports
and comment perfectly fair. 1t has
had faith that public sentiment and
reasonable discussion would fin
ally lead to wholesome conelu-
sions.
In the meantime everybody suf-
fers. Business slows down. Pub
lie property is being damaged.
Public health is required to take a
chance. Families are not earning
the money that they will need be-
fore the birds of another spring
sing songs. Every person who owns
home or business in Great
Falls is suffering an economic loss
that ought not to be. The
only people who do not need to
care are those whose sole posses
sion is suit case, and who can
therefore easily move on--leaving
consequences and penalties behind
them.
AS day after day is marked off
upon the calendar evidence accum-
ulates of several kinds. IF our
Information is correct the city en-
ployes who have been on strike
would like to go back to work at
che scale proposed by the council
,,-that is quite majority Of them
feel that way. They are being per-
suaded not to do so by those who
are conducting the strike. The
sentiment also, we think, is gaining
ground among the building crafts
men that the scale proposed by the
contractors is in keeping with what
is being accepted in other cities,
and that it is as high as can equit-
ably be paid under all Of the pres
ent conditions. If our information
is correct the final outcome is in
evitable. If a majority of the
laboring people Of community
really wish to work. at scales that
are decided to be acceptable, they
will finally do SO whether their
action is approved by the strike
committee or not.
Strike committees cannot have
their way in the long run unless the
rank and file approve of their con-
tentions.
One thing also is dead sure.
Great Falls will not grow or great
1y prosper unless we can in some
way get and reasonably keep in
dustrial peace. .M.
