MOCK HEROICS
Of Blatant BlantOn to I'm
press House Colleagues
Publicly Censured, Anti
UniOnist Reels From
Chamber in Shame

Washington. - Congressman Blan-
tons mock heroics and sob stuff fail
ed to impress his colleagues, who
charged him with printing obscene
statements in the Congressional Rec
ord
Blanton escaped being thrown out
of the house with but eight votes to
spare A two-thirds vote was neces-
sary, and a roll call showed 204 for
expulsion and 113 against.
The accused gave history of his
life and said he mortgaged his home
ito prevent this government from be-
ing sovietized" The speech was a
combination of Fourth of July bonn
bast, citizens alliance dope, and the
Little Jack Horner" nursery jingle
Blanton made a mess of things,
however, when he declared in one of
his heroic periods, that if he had the
means he would put copy of the OBJ
jectionable speech in the hands of
every voter in the country. The
statement was boomerang.
The fear that Blanton would pose
as martyr, in his district, swayed
enough votes for him to escape being
the first member of the American
congress to be expelled for obscenity.
The charge against him, however, will
stand on the record.
When the expulsion resolution was
defeated, a motion that he be CEN
sured was carried unanimously. When
Blanton was escorted before the pre-
siding officer by sergeant-at-arms,
Speaker Gillett said:
Mr.. Blanton, by unanimous vote
of the house-yeas, 293; nays, none
| have been directed to censure you
because, when you had been allowed
by the courtesy of the house to print
a speech which you did not deliver
you inserted in it foul and obscene
matter, which you knew you coulC
not have spoken on this floor; and that
disgusting matter, which could not
have been circulated through the
mails in any other publication without
violating the law, was transmitted
as part of the proceedings of this
house to thousands of homes and Ii
braries throughout the country, to bt
read by men and women, and wors

COMPERS AND LEWIS
Named By President Har-
ding to Represent Labor
on Arms Advisory
Board

Washington. - Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, have been appointed mem
bers of the official advisory commits
sion on limitation of armament by
President Harding.
The appointment of these represen-
tatives of labor, in the view of observ-
ers here, brings labor into a leading
role in connection with the interna-
tional conference on limitation of ar
mament and gives America labor rep
resentation second to no other nation.
This appointment follows closely
upon the heels of President Gompers'
action in organizing an advisory COM
mittee which met in conference in
Washington recently and which is now
called the general committee on limi
tation or armament.
This committee, composed of about
200 leading men and women in all
walks of life, fortifies the labor rep
resentatives on the official commits
sion and brings the general committee
into immediate and important SER
vice. The committee has opened large
offices at 1319-21 F street, Washing
ton, with William Short, former sec
retary of the league to enforce peace,

WAR CRAFTERS
TO ESCAPE
Statute of Limitation For
Prosecution Expires
Arminstice Day

Washington.-There will be JOY
among grafters when the nation
mourns at the interment of the un-
known American soldier boy on Ar
mistice Day, November II. After
that date the grafters will be immune
from prosecution by the statute of
limitation.
A few weeks ago attention was
called to the probability of the graft
ers escaping, and much talk was heard
about rushing bill through congress
extending the statute of limitation
from three years to six years. The
plan was dropped, however, but At
torney General Daugherty was not so
busy at that time that he could not
journey to Cincinnati and tell the
American Bar Association of the need
for compulsory investigation of indus
trial disputes that strikes may be
stopped by law.
A house committee headed by Con-
gresham Graham has been investi-
eating the war grafters. The COM
mittee made this report on the Stand
ard Steel Company:
"There were fraud and bribery ad-
mitted by the government agents, but
all such accounts were allowed in
full. The company stole car load
of small tools from this plant (the
government plant and removed them
clandestinely to their own plant"
Reference was also made by the
committee of the sale to the company
for 100000 of buildings and material
which had cost $3,50O,OOO, though
there was bid in for 100000, which
the negotiating army officer conceal
ed from his associates"

By reason of the referendum, it
will be impossible for the city COM
mission to pass any ordinance that
may be distasteful to a majority of

should Bozeman be so unfortunate as
to elect commissioner who may not
be competent or honest, he may be
easily removed by the people. On the
other hand, in the execution of the
city's business, and the efficient
handling of its affairs, the new law
provides that this responsibility shall
be conferred in one man, who shall do
nothing else, and who shall be paid
for efficient management.
1t is the belief of the committee
that this fact must necessarily bring
better results than that of leaving

GRAssHoPPERs APPEAR.

During the past few weeks large
amount of arsenic, banana oil and
molasses has been sent out to the
lower portions of the county to be
used in poisoning grasshoppers. The
past few days have been extremely
favorable for the Matching of grass
hoppers and in parts of the valley
they are appearing in rather large
numbers. If in such cases they are
poisoned, before they leave the hatch
ing grounds and scatter, only a small
amount of poison and labor is re-
quired to kill off large number. A
supply Of materials used In poison
ing, excepting coarse bran, is kept
at the county agents office and is
furnished at cost. The young grass
hoppers are extremely small and are
easily overlooked, but a lot of dam
age to crops can be avoided if every
one will keep a lookout for them and
will poison now.

LEOLA ADAMS MAKES
RECORD IN HIKING

Miss Leola Adams, a member of
the freshmen class at the college, set
a new hiking record among, the co-eds
on the hill by walking a distance Of
166 miles during the month of May.
This is an average Of over five miles
a day for every day in the month.
The mileage was nearly one hundred
miles greater than the nearest record.
The women on the hill have taken
an unusual interest this year in ath-
letics, and the close of the year will
see a greater accomplishment in that
line than was ever made before by
local college women. Next year this
form of activity for women will be
renewed, and some good records
should be made.

EXPERT SODA MEN
BUY ELLEN PARLORS

The Ellen Parlors, in the Ellen
theatre building, formerly run by
Vivian Corbly, have been purchased
by r. P. DeLeuil of Billings and
Kellar Boston of Butte, and Mr.. Bos-
ton is now in active charge Of the
business. It is the intention of the
new management to make them
the best and most up-to-date soft
drink parlors in the state.
In making their bid to the Boze-
man public the new owners of the
Ellen Parlors will considerably alter
the interior arrangements of the par
lors, to make more room for tables in
the main room. The booths will be
taken out and placed elsewhere in
the establishment and other changes
will be made in the arrangements of
the store, all working for the conven-
fence of the customers.
The new owners of the store are
both experienced soft drink men. Mr..
Boston, who will have the active
management, was formerly in charge
of the fountain at Gamers in Butte,
which in itself speaks for Ills abil-
ity. He has spent is years in the
business and is said to be one Of the
best dispensers in the state. MIR
DeLeuil, the other owner, is the pro
prietor of fountain in Billings. and
has one of the best trades in that
city. He will continue his business
there, the two stores doing much o.
their buying together.

RIVERS REACH HIGHEST
MARK FOR YEARS

At the present time. the waters of
the Gallatin, Madison and Jefferson
rivers are at the highest point known
in years, although the bridges have
been protected, but the roads in some
places are under water. The smaller
creeks in the valley are also very
high, Middle creek and South Cotton
wood creek being way up.
Between Logan and Three Forks
the Yellowstone trail is under water
for about half mile, but the place
is tagged to keep people from being
stuck. At Axtell there is water over
the road on both sides of the bridge.
At the Todd and Carter bridges
the entertainments are in good shape
and the roads are passable. On the
Norris road there is q little water
over the road this side Of the red
bridge.
Unless the water continues to rise
the commissioners expect no serious
situation to arise. Little can be done
except to keep the bridges intact anc
see that the roadbeds are kept from
being washed out. AS soon rs th'
water goes down the highways vii
be put in shape again.
The water is caused by the recen
rains and warm days which have
rapidly melted the snow in the noun
tains.

You will look in vain for my rat
ing In Dun or Bradstreet. In my
own town, whatever celebrity l have
attained Is not based on my financial
status. Yet I should like to tell you
that I am a man OF some financial
consequence.
There is a bank which c~ourteously
furnishes me with a book of partly
printed forms, which my signature
can transform into something as
good as money.
If 1 were to fill out n of these
ch~eck-blanks with your name n
the amount Of $40, you could take
that check to any man in my town
who has anything to sell, n ne
would give you $40 worth of dry
goods or groceries or hardware. and
take the check as readily as If it
were money. .
You could take it to the city hall
and pay your taxes with 1t.
You could endorse it to the col
lector of internal revenue. and he
would credit it on your income tax.
And every one of these men would
be glad to get it.
You could take it to the bank and
get gold for it.
If I were to make out a check for
$4,000 there is not a man in town
who would give you twenty-five
cents for it, for they would all think
it a forgery, or else that I had gone
crazy.
But my check for $40 is :just as
good as that of John D. Rockefeller.
On occasion I car issue a somewhat
larger check.
