Blaine and Liberty. In 1911 he was
appointed judge and was elected to
that Office on the Bull Moose ticket
in the fall of 1912 and served until
1917, doing judicial work at Plenty
wood, Glasgow, Malta and Havre.
Since 1917, Judge Utter has been
pfacticing law at Havre.
When Judge Utter first went on
the bench in 1911, settlement was
just starting along the line of the
Great Northern railroad and as many
of the new settlers were aliens, Judge
Utter has probably naturalized more
citizens than any judge in Montana.
During the time he was judge, the
Federal Agent says Plentywood, Glas-
gov and Havre were the largest nat
uralization points in the northwest.
Judge Utter says that he believes
that If the supreme court worked as
many hours and as efficiently as
most doctors and lawyers and other
professional, businessmen and farmers
work; it could catch up with its work
and could keep the work up to date,
SO he has adopted the slogan, Bring
the Supreme Court work up to date
and keep it there. Judge Utter says,
"If | am nominated and elected, [
will during my term of office, make
every proper effort to have the work
of the supreme court brought up to
date and kept up to date. Although,
September, 1919, the number of JUS
tices of the Supreme Court increased
from three to five, and May, 1921,
three Court Commissioners added, the
Court is now far behind in it's work.
Take the case, Jerry VS.. O'Connell,
judgment rendered in the district
court, November, 1919, case appealed
May, 1920, decided in Supreme Court,
April, 1922. Ltigants should not be
compelled to wait SO long for deter
mination of their rights.

CATHOLIC FATHER
DISCUSSES SgABs

Bif1ings-At three masses in St.
Mary's church Sunday Father DEAN
ty, the pastor made brief remarks,
substantially as follows, in regard to
the strike, "The duty of the Catho-
lie priest" he said was to instruct his
people not only in the Catholic faith,
but also in Christian morality.
The Catholic church, he said, teach
es always and everywhere, in season
and out of season, that a ,lishonor-
able act is always to be condemned
and never to be approved of. But to
take the place of men striking for
bread is dishonorable act. 1t is
against reason and religion and hence
no Catholic should ever be tempted
to do such detestable thing. Il say
no Catholic" went on Father Delanty
ssbecause | am now speaking only to
Catholics, but no Protestant or Jew
or anyone else who wants to he an
upright man, will ever, in the face OF
his fellows, degarde his honor thus. :

duced cost of living. This way is by
government competition with the
great private monopolies. One of the
most striking examples of this kind
of competition is in the shipping busi-
ness. The Australian government has
43 freight and passenger vessels
which compel the trust to do business
at a reasonable charge or go out OF
business. The great government own
ed passenger steamers accommodate
up to 750 passengers and try to in
still democracy by having only one
class Of service servlce-and
one class of fares-reasonable fares.
The government freight ships do not
charge anything for freight unless it
is delivered at the port of destina-
ton in a marketable condition.

In THE WAKE
OF THE NEWS
Wants "A Roosevelt. -


40 for Roosevelt" sighed the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press on the morning of
August 3rd. The despairing cry arises
over President Hardlng's policy In the
coal famine and the Press finds one
governor doing just what other gov
ernors and President Harding ought
to be doing, he is Governor McCray
of Indiana, who has ordered state op-
Grafton of the coal mines.
S'He is doing exactly what Theodore
Roosevelt said he would do nearly
twenty years ago, thereby bringing
the Anthracite coal strike to an ends
says the Press.
The full significance of these re-
marks is not grasped unless one
knows that the st. Paul Pioneer Press
has stood for the most reactionary
G. o. P. policies and has supported
to the limit of its ability all G. O. P.
candidates. It rejoiced when Harding
was nominated over Hiram johnson,
who has secured a majority in prac-
tically every state where a primary
was held.
Now the Press turns on its leader
because he sticks firmly to the policy
which the Press has recommended
eEless government In business and it
sighs for a president who will turn to
so-called socialism to give us coal.
Full significance of the statements is
also missed if we do not know that
the Press played up North .Dakota's s
seizure of the mines under the same
circumstances in 1919 as one Of the
chief reaesons for calling the Nonpaf-
+;cop eaU,1e a SOcial;Stic BOlSheVik
and un-American organization.
Hence, as far as the future, which
is now the present, is concerned, the
Pioneer Press was peddling bad medl-
cine. We would have more chances
Of having Roosevelt now II the Flo
neer Press and other papers OF a
similar kind, which want Roosevelt,

His Name Will Appear on the Repub-

Progressive Would Make Corpora
tions Pay Taxes Same as Farmers.

w. B. Sands of Chinook, Montana,
a man who has been very active for
the past several years in the progress
sive or so-called radical movement In
the state, has flied his petition and
qualified as a candidate for the office
of Railroad Commissioner on the re-
publican ticket, subject to the will OF
the voters registered, on Tuesday:
August goth between the hours OF
noon and o'clock in the evening.
Mr.. Sands is man of wide expert
ence and an established reputation
for honesty and integrity and he has
been identified with the progressive
movements in this state for years. In
speaking of conditions existing in
Motana he says:
sTHE MONTANA POWER

MILLION DOLLARS VALUA-
TION. It's rat<, are based on
valuation of 81 MILLION DOL
LARS. Justice to the Overtaxed
people demands this company's
taxes be raised or IFS rates re-
duced."
In speaking of the telephone COM
.panies, he says further:
The IntermOuntain States Tele-
phone Co. pays taxes on four
million dollars valuation but gets
rates based on eight million dol
lars valuation. Let's talk and tax
on the same valuation. Let's
squeeze out the water before we
make the rates. The company
now makes 20 per cent net on
its sworn valuation"

Commission are threefold It's du-
ties connected with the railroads have
been largely absorbed by the Ma

sTf the State Railway COMMISSION
will announce its purpose to base
utility rates on the valuations the
corporations return for tax purposes
the companies will voluntarily increase
their assessments so millions OF dol
lars or rates will be reduced 30 pei
cent :.
'T firmly believe that the dlscfIfn-
inatory freight rates in this state car
be materially reduced by vigorous
persistent effort. Why not try new

!. ssDon't be fooled by subsidized news

Mr.. Sands is worthy of the supper
of every farmer in the state and 1
is hoped that when the votes arr
counted that he will be nominated fo
the office of railroad commissioner.

POOR DEFENSE 0EA
at, of Ar
Senator

Senator Robinson, demoaa Sena
kansas, undertook to answer news
McCumbers charge that the lat
pers brought about Taft's def ed
1912 because the G. o. P. refla Ii
put newsprint paper on the free.
IF the time ever comes" said s.
ator Robinson, when the Americ.
people lost confidence in the press g.
the nation; if the time ever comes
when the people regard the influences
of the press as subject to purchase or
sale, it is the beginning of the end of
free speech and free press.
''The fact Is that the press, while in
favor of free pulp and newsprint pa
ner, and righly SO. did rot subordln-
ate every other consideration to bring
abo4f; the political overthrow of the
men of the Republican party respon-
,sihle for the refusal to place wood
pulp and newsprint paper on the free
list"
Senator Robinson said the facts
were that Mr.. Taft in his campaign
for reelection had the Republican
newspapers with him but that he lost
because he had no support among, the
voters. -
>, ,G,ue would naturally think that II
tho nress were corrupt, losing conn-
s1ence in it would be the beginning
i, If free speech and free press rath-
or than the end as the senator says.
One would also think that his point
about Taft having the support OF the
nress and no votes was an mdlcatloh
d,f a kept condition and of knowledge
on the Subject widely diffused among
Z, s,ng voters. -

she went on trial in Brooklyn charged
with the murder of Ellis G.. Kinkead,
former corporation counsel of Gin
cinnati. Although she revived, ply
sicians said she was in no condition
to stand the strain and the court
adjourned until tomorrow
United States Attorney James J..
Clark of Cincinnati was on the stand
when Miss Stone tainted in spite of
her insistent denials that she had
never seen him, Mr.. Clark asserted
she had come into his office in 1919
to ask for a warrant for the arrest
of Kinkead under the Mann act.
Three Cincinnati detectives and an
assistant in Mr.. Clark's office will be
called tomorrow.
Miss Stone several times inter-
rupted Clark's testimony, shouting
that he was not telling the truth.

muring under her breath. Finally
while reaching for a glass of water,
she tainted.
