To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I noted your editorial on "The
Doctor" some days ago. It is true that
some OF. our noblest, most generous
and best men are physicians. But tho
system under which they work is in
tolerably pernicious. The fact that q
misguided girl offered to sell herself
in marriage for money to be used for
an operation to save her mothers life
proves that necessary medical and
surgical attendance is not generally
available for the poor; or, If it is, it
is to be had only after great sacrifice.
You speak of the nearest hospital
Beneficent men and women have left
large sums to conduct these for the
poor without money and without price.
But certain medical interests have
lobbied through laws that hamstring
and nullify requests. There is a law
that penalties anybody for applying
for and receiving such treatment if he
can possibly pay for the same. A large
and conspicuously posted copy of this
law is under the nose Of every patient,
no matter which way he turns
l knew one man who sold all his
furniture, broke up his home, and
went into debt that took him six
months to cancel just to pay for an
operation on his wife. Do you suppose
he would have done this if free or
reasonably priced good treatment was
readily available? I myself went to a
hospital here some years ago. At the
door an attendant said: Get away
from here. you are we'll dressed, this
place is only for beggars and tramps."
In the various free hospitals every
physician an dsurgcon has his outside
Office for private patients. Every free
hospital patient means a reduced reve-
nue. from private practice.

Prison Reform
Adolph Lewisohn's Plan for Education as Well as
Punishment of Criminals

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I wish to submit My views on
sane prison reform. In my opinion, we
must get away from the old style of
prison buildings and gradually replace
them by a cottage system and large
farming plant The feeble minded and
those mentally backward should be
either sent to a different institution
or entirely separated from the others
and given that kind of work and treat
mcnt which is best suited to their con-
dition.
There ought to be a central build
ing for vocational training and such in
dustrial work as will be likely to cdu-
cate the prisoners, so that they will be
able to help themselves and their fam
lilies when they leave prison.
A wage should be paid to tho pris-
oner. 1t should be a fair wage and
must be earned In order that prison
labor shall not interfere with outside
labor the product of prison labor
should be used for the needs of the
state, in it's prisons and its other in
stitutions, and if there is surplus of
prison made goods in one state they
can be used in other states where they
are needed.
There should be the highest grade of
prison wardens and prison guards, as
they of necessity have considerable au-
thority and ought to be able to use it
properly. Schools should be established
to train these officials, and only such
prison officials accepted as can show
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-04-10

that they are able properly to conduct
the work
Prisoners should be examined when
they enter prison as to their mentality
and general condition. If possible, the
cause which led the prisoner to commit
the crime should be determined. He
should be treated accordingly and
placed at that kind of work which he is
able to do.
The parole system should be extend
ed. A commission fully qualified for
this kind of work should be carefully
selected. 1t should consist Of men of
the highest standing, and appointment
upon it should be regarded as a posi-
ton of honor, comparable to the posi-
tions Of the judges of our courts.
The aim of all this must be not to
pamper the criminal, but to bring about
natural conditions. Prisons should be
conducted in q way that will make it
likely that the prisoner, when he is
discharged, will be able to take care of
hims and his family and in many
cases be cured Of his criminal tenden-
cies; that his self-respcct will not be
destroyed; that a hopeless condition
will not be created, making the prisoner
bitter against the world with the desire
to revenge himself upon society. He
should rather be made to see justice
and fairness practiced by the author-
ties, by those in charge of the prisons
and by the outside world. Thus the
prisoner will not be likely to spread dis
case, mental or physical, when he comes
out. ADOLPH LEWISOHN.

Militant Bolshevism
Futility of Denouncing a System
Whose Sole Argument Is Force =
m ~. rJ;+or ~ Tho Tr;hure

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Bolshevism in America will
spread if combated along present lines.
1t will not do for Senators to strike
dramatic poses and accuse" the Bolshe-
wiki OF aiming to destroy all govern
ments. To a Bo!shevist that is not an
accusation; it is glorification. That
is his avowed purpose; and such "accu
sations" make his purpose better
known, and we become less shocked
with the reteration. Governments are
maintained by force. Bolsh-viki who
are realistic thinkers understand that,
and, If seated in power, will maintain
their government by force.
Bolshevism is easy 10 define. in spite
Of its multifarious manifestations.

New t1eI6HTs REACHED By GOOD Name

In numbers and in monetary
value, the production of Dodge
Brothers cars during the twelve
months recently ended, was,
with single exception, without
parallel.
There is a deep and a special
significance in this sales record.
Because they did not seek it in
the ordinary way, it is all the
more impressive that sales pre-
cedence should have been
conferred upon their product.
The point of this achievement is
that from the day the business
was founded, Dodge Brothers
never once laid stress on mere
volume of production.
They never strove to surpass in
the quantity Of cars produced
during any given period.
Their thought lay deeper than
that twas a deliberate thought,
which looked toward the ulti-
mate, not the immediate.
Their implicit conviction was
that the one thing with which
they should concern themselves
was the true value of the cars
they manufactured.
Given that good value, they
were assured that greater and
greater sales must of necessity
follow.
They had faith, in other words,
in the discernment of the average
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-04-10

man and woman of America
and Of the world.
They were satisfied that as the
value of Dodge Brothers car
revealed Itself, appreciation, adj
mlration and larger volume
would automatically follow.
They visualized this great good
Will, ever growing and continu-
ing to grow, as long as motor
cars should go forth bearing
their name.
They neverpermitted themselves
or their associates to lose sight Of
this great principle in which they
believed SO thoroughly.
Their life work had taught them
that there was no other sound
way in which to build.
The lesson of it, the logic oft, is
too plain, too clear and too COM
plimentary to Dodge Brothers
to require or permit extended
comment.
Suffice it to say, that Dodge
Brothers are more deeply appre-
ciative than ever Of the confidence
it demonstrates on the part of the
buying public.
Suffice it to say that this insttu-
ton Will never deviate by so
much as q hairs breadth from
the manufacturing principles
which have brought about this
unique and splendid tribute from
DE American people.

FAMOUS ORDER NO.

The last gasp of ! the Montana
trade commissions famous Order
No. ~ requiring cost tags as we'll
as price tags on all merchandise CT
fered for sale in the state, was heard
in Washington, D. c., Monday, ac-
cording to information received by f..
G.. Toon1ey, secretary OF the state
railroad commission.
An appeal had been taken by the
state commission from Federal Judge
George NJ. Bourquin's decision hold
ing the trade commissions law I'M
constitutional. This appeal was GER
tain to be dismissed at the Monday
meeting of the supreme court OF the
United States, the clerk of that court
informed Mr.. Toomey. Now the
trade commission law is doubly dead,
because it was repealed by the last
legislature in Chapter 11S of the 1921
session laws.
National attention was directed to
Montana through the fight over Or
der No. A." Litigation in the federal
court here was watched with great
interest by commercial organizations
and by the various regulatory bodies
Of the several states. Legal features
conferred on the right of the state to
give the trade commission arbitrary
price fixing powers.
Judge Bourquin declared the trade
commission law violated the proW-
I sions Of the iAth amendment to the
feeeiral constitution He said that
while legislative power of price reg
ulations exists in business and call
ings Of public interest, concern and
consequences, it does not exist in or
| binary mercantile business and COM
mon callings, and because they are
purely private; because in respect to

America Is Only Nation in World
Which Can Stabilize Credits, Claims
Times.

London. Nov. 2O.-Unless the Unit
ed States shoulders the burden of
world finance only miracle can avert
the financial catastrophe which is ev-
,er drawing nearer, the Sunday Times
declares in it's editorial columns Sun
day morning.
The newspaper regards the limlta-
ton of ornaments as an accomplish
ed fact, for which it gives credit to
the United States and passes on its
discussion of finance with the remark
that it is hoped the American people
viii display equal courage and fore
sight in coping with the vastly more
imminent menace of world finance.
America alone can stabilize credit
by devising some scheme for financ-
ing the nations now lowering on the
brig Of insolvency it says.
1sNo one for moment imaglnes
that Germany is able to pay five
hundred billion gold marks on Janu-
airy Is In the event Of her failure to
do so, the difficulty to French finance
may prove insuperable, and if France
follows Germany into bankruptcy,
the crash may well bring down the
whole edifce of European credit.
"In such an event the United States
will suffer incalculable losses. The
ony way out is for America to OBJ
serve the precedent set by the Bank
of England when it saved American
credit in a minor crisis by drawing
gold from all the world to loan where
it was most needed.
America holds the worlds gold
today. The time is short for, should
Germany fail to pay, France may
march into the Ruhr region and then

|BAINVILLE MILL AND
ELEVATOR BURNED
Saturday, Nov. IL, Large Bainyille
Enterprise Destroyed By Fire
10000 Bushels, Of Grain Burned.
SECOND FIRE WITHIN 10 DAYS

The fire demon seems to have some
kind of grudge against Bainville
and is taking out it's spite in such a
manner that is keenly felt both by
the town as a whole as well as by
the Individual losers. For the second
time in ten days that town has suf-
fered heavy loss from the fire fend,
one which is even more keeLly felt
perhaps than any that has occurred
in the history Of the town.
The loss referred to occurred early
last Saturday. morning, November II,
when the 600 barrel mill and 10000
bushel elevator owned by the Jenni-
son Mill Co., burned to the ground.
The fire was first discovered about
five o'clock in the morning by the
night. Waterman, who was on duty
at the mill, but it had already as
sumed such proportions that to ex-
tinguish it with the facilities at hand
was out of the question.
The blaze had evidently been
snaouldering in the basement of the
elevator for some time before it
broke out and was discovered. The
cause of the blaze is unknown but the
most likely theory advanced is that
it may have been caused by spon-
taneous combustion, orr dusty ex-
plosion, which is not uncommon in
buildings of this kind.
An alarm was spread, but before
anyone could reach the scene the mill
was also on fire and the best that
could be done was to save some of
the things out of the Office and ware
house, but as the flames spread rap
idly and were so hot practically moth
ing was saved. Even the books of
bushels of wheat and records of the
company were destroyed, which is in
itself a big loss as it will handicap
them in Strengthening out their bust
ness affairs.
The loss will be upwards Of $780,
900 and as but small insurance was
carried it will be all the more serious
to the company.
The mill was built about six years
ago and was up-te-date in every par
ticular and was the largest and best
equipped mill owned by this compa-
ny. The elevator was built a year
Tor two after the mill and was of co.
LOCO bushel capacity and at the time
| Of the fire contained about 10000
bushels of wheat, wh6cl was in itself
quite loss. The engine house which
| was Of brick, and the bunk house
used by the employees and which
was located across the road from the
mill, were saved and are all that
now remain of what was one Of the
| largest industries in the eastern part
! of the state.
/ Mr.. Johnson was IN the city Mon
day and is responsible for the state,
nent that the mill will be rebuilt, but
Ion "a somewhat smaller scale, Dui
whether or not any work will be done
this winter was not disclosed. Il
the meantime werkmen are engaged
in removing the burned wheat from
the site of the fire and cleaning uE
| the debris, which presents a rather
! CHASTITY appearance.

PLENTYWO0D HIGH
WINS BOTH GAMES
Plentywood Boys and Girls Teams
Take City Teams to an Awful
Trimming-Girls Game Was Close
Sig Moe Star of the Evening.

Last Saturday night the City tearls
of PlentyWood met their Waterloo at
the Community Hall, when they met
the High School boys and girls, bas
ketbsall teams.
The girls high school team and tire
wonen's city team, took the floor i.rst
are put on coed exhibition If rs
ketbaH, although lack Of practice ard
team work was very noticeable, which
Il always a strorg characteristic If
the first games Of the season The
high school girls won through thelr
superior playing and greater display
of team work, but the City team con-
tends that with little more practice
that the next game will be different.
The score. was 8 to 3 in favor OF
the high school team.
The boys high school team and the
Mems city team then took the floor
and there was no doubt from the first
as to who would be the winner, the
city team showing woeful lack Of
practice and practically no team work,
Being wholly confined to individual
playing.
The high school boys team are COM
ing along rapidly and with more pTac-
tice will show any high school team
in the state good game. The work
of Sig Moe, center of the team, was
spectacular, his basket shooting
bringing down the house many times.
The whole team showed that they are
going to develop into one of the fast
est teams that Plentywood has ever
had. They play a good clean game
and are unusually fast.
Coach Moe is to be congratulated
on the way he is getting the high
school team in shape, and with the
whole city behind the team, there is
no doubt but what the Plentywood
high school team viii be strong con-
tenders for state honors.
The high schools boys and mems
game ended SO to IA in favor of the
