The Literary D:gest's Figures
ON Prohibition and Bonus.

"4A
The Literary Digest of August 5
gives the digest of about half a mil
lion votes on prohibition, in it's three
phases as follows:
Prohibition Vote
In favor of strict enforce
ment of the Eighteenth
amendment and the Vol
stead act 1s1,704
In favor of modification of
the volstead act 1866
In favor of repeating the
Eighteenth amendment = 1O1,475
Soldier Bonus
In favor of a bonus for all
soldiers and sailors who
wore the uniform during
the World War = 233,6l3
Not in favor of such bonus 241,44O
How South Carolina Votes
The figures are given for all the
states voting so far. South Carolina
has voted so far on prohibition: for
enforcement 799, for modification
73o, for repeal ESQ. On the bonus it
has voted Yes 712, No 1857.
This is the third tabulation of the
Literary Digest's votes, the first hav,
ing reached $4,000, and the second
when the proportion of the "wets'
and the "moists' vas greater than in
the third tabulation of 100000
Some of the outside comments after
the first tabulation are significant,
and we give no encouragement what,
ever to the saloons friends and very
little to the advocates of beer and
light wines. Strong "wet" journals
see no hope that the saloon will ever
return.
The Baptist of Chicago, official
organ of the Baptists in America,
says america is dry and will stay
dry" Speaking of the first tabula-
ton of $4,000 votes, it says: "Not
a single state gives a majority fol-
repeal-not even New Jersey, MOI
New York. Cutting out the Southern
and western states. predominantly
dry (many of them by state enact
ment before the amendment was
adopted), the IA Northeastern states

Death Claims Bishop Kilgo.

Death Claims Bishop Kilgo.
Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 11.-Bishop
John C. Kilgo Of the Southern Meth
odist Episcopal church died at his
home here at LAS this morning at
ter having been extremely i'll since
last Sunday when he suffered a Sc
we're heart attack.
Bishop Kilgo had been gradually
sinking since last Thursday after
noon and his death had been expect
ed hourly by his physicians and fam
ily. Since Sunday little or no hope
had been entertained for his recoy-
cry.
Dr.. Kilgo had been well known in
the South for a score of years, hav-
ing served as president Of Trinity
College at Durham, N. c., for s,N
wear prior to his election as bishop
~ years a go. At the last general OF
the Southern Methodist church at
Hot Springs, Ark, he was placed on
the bishops retired list. The aged
minister had never entirely recover
ed from the severe attack last spring
on his way home from the general
conference, which forced him to re-
main under treatment in a Memphis
hospital for several weeks, finally be-
ing brought home on a cot in the
private car of Fairfax Harrison,
president of the Southern railway,
of which Bishop Kilgo was a direct
.or. He regained sufficient strength
however, to leave his bed and sever
/, al times took rides about the city
with members of his family. He
made n trip to Baltimore where
he was under treatment of a special
list for several days.
Bishop John Carlisle Kilgo was
born in Laurens, S. c., July %,
1861, son of James T. and Catherine
Mason Kilgo. He was educated in the
schools of his native state and receiv-
ed the honorary degree of D. d
from Woford and Randolph Macon
colleges and Tulane university. He
was united in marriage with Miss
Fannie Turner of Gaffney, S. G. In
1882 he was ordained a minister in
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, and served in various pastor
ates in the South Carolina confer
ence until 1889 when he was called
to Woford college as professor Of
philosophy and financial agent. In
1894 he was elected president Of
Trinity college, Durham, N. c.,
where he served until 1910 when he
was elected bishop of the Methodist
church at the conference in Ashe-
vile, N. G..
He was a delegate to the general
Methodist conference in 1894, 1898,
1902, 1906 and 1910, delegate to the
Ecumenical Methodist conference
in London in 1901. He was a frater-
nal delegate to the general confer
ence of the Methodist church N Los
Angeles in 1904 when he made a
speech advocating the union Of the
Northern and Southern branches of
the Methodist church.

Highest Duty on Suger Since
the Grant Era.


Washington, Aug. s.-The sugar
bloc in the senate succeeded today
in forcing into the tariff bill the high
est duty on sugar since the days Of
the Grant administration, following
the Civil War. The rates adopted
are 1.S4 cents a pound on Cuban SUI
gar brought into the United States.
Virtually all sugar now imported
comes from Cuba.
These duties, it is charged by the
opposition, will decrease the cost Of
living of the American people direct
ly, without any pyramiding in pass
ing them along to the consumers,
SIS, 900, 900 a year. With the accom-
panying increase in American beet
and cane sugar and other price ma
nipulations certain to result, it is de-
clared the additional burden on the
public will amount to many millions
more.
Only a Half Victory.
But even then the sugar bloc won
only a half victory. They made their
fight and thought they had it won,
for duties of 2 cents a pound on Gu
ban and ESQ on other sugar. The
lower rates were put through only
after the higher duties had been de-
Heated.
The shifting of two senator's,
Wadsworth, of New York and Willis,
Ohio, Republicans, made possible
the adoption of the second amend
ment they stood against the rates in
an amendment by Senator Broussard
Democrat, of Louisiana, which was,
rejected 33 to 81. Then when Sen
ator smoot, Republican of Utah, pro-.
posed the 1.84-2.3O schedule, they
switched to the affirmative, giving
the same majority for the latter pro-
posal that had been recorded against
the former.
Party Lines Smashed.
Party lines were smashed in the
two votes. Sixteen Republicans voted
against the Broussard amendment
and all of them except Wadsworth
and Willis stood pat on the Smoot
proposal. The other fourteen were:
Borah, Calder. Colt, Cummins, Edge,
Frelinghuysen, Hale, Keyes, Lenroot,
Lodge, Mccormick, McCumber, Pep
per and Sutherland.
Four Democrats voted for both
amendments. They we're: Broussard,
Jones of New Mexico, Hendricks
and Ransdall.
The rates in the bill as reported
by the finance committee were the
same as adopted by the house, III
cents a pound on Cuban sugar and
2 cents on all other sugar. These du-
ties also are now in operation under
w,vRob tina of Aem o Davpn Fl mV0i
the emergency tariff act. The new
rate on Cuban sugar is 81 cents per
100 pounds higher than in the
higher thar under the Underwood
Simmons Act.
Senator Reed, making his first
speech since his return from the
great primary victory last Tuesday,
led the fight against the bounty
along with Senator Lenroot on the
Republican side.

BUSINESS HITS
PRE-WARS STRIDE,
SAYS HUMPHREY
Traveller Finds Slump Going
in AnsSections; Debts
Being Paid.

End Of the year 1922 will mark the
| closing of g season that has done much
towards returning Montana nearer to
her pre-war position. in a business
way is the assertion of James l.. Hum
pbrey. state manager of the Capital
and Savings company of st. Paul,
who has Travelled 25,0O0- miles within
the boundaries of the state since last
spring. 1t is impossible to lntlinateiy
know conditions in Montana this fall, he
states, without realizing that Montana
has made great progress during the
year and that, compared with p year
ago. the states situation has@Vefy SUP
stantially improved.
Recovering
Like all the other states, Montana
found herself owing a lot of money at
the end of the postwar depression,
said Humphrey Tuesday. "and Iknow
of no better way to judge her recovery
than to cite the extent of the liquid
alton being made at the present time.
Without using exact figures, 1t IS pos
sible to sum up the situation by saying
that the amount of the ~liquldatlon TINS
fall is much larger than a year ago:
Agriculture is gaining on its
obligations, and banks are accordingly
taking up the paper they placed IN the
east when money was so badly needed
in the state.
1.-THE situation can be sized up from
another angle. The Montana wheat
crop will have a cash value of prob
ably more than S35,000,000, and it didn't
cost that much to produce IT. Sheep
values have raised to nearly twice
the figure quoted when growers began
to restock and cattle are commanding
much better prices than in 1920 or
1921. One of the greatest improve
ments has been in farming methods.
which are becoming very generally fol
lowed. and which will have a telling eff
feet in the agricultural future Of Mon
tana. Until one sees the acreage of
corn grown this year it is impossible to
appreciate the progress made in the
development of that crop. For its own
value and as q stimulant to good wheat
raising methods, corn is a factor that
would be difficult to overestimate at
the present time.
Confidence
There is a very general feeling OF
confidence among the farmers over the
state. Hundreds of families are re
turning to the land they abandoned dur
ing the lean years and there nov is evil
dent to a greater degree than ever
before the genuine home making spirit.
And there you have a thing that means
much in the gaining of new farmers.
Montana land is attracting families who
want homes. The day is past when a
venture in Montana land was generally
investment or a speculation; the land
now is getting the real homeseeker.
And as for the lands ability to procure
more home makers. its productive quail
tiles and the price, as compared with
eastern quotations, are going to bring
results"

Engineer Plans
High Grade Lights
on Central Avenue

Several property owners along Cen
trail avenue from Ninth street to
Twenty-eighth street are understood
to have objections to the proposed
ornamental lighting system for the dis
trict because of a belief that the pro-
posed lights are of a cheap grade, 1t
was said at the office of City Engi-
neer NJ. e. Morris Tuesday.
The directors are of the opinion that
a cheap light. such as is found in many
alleys here. is contemplated on Central
avenue. Instead, the lights the city
engineer proposes to install are a high
grade ornamental light globe to be
extended upward from an ornamental
bracket fastened to and extending out
about two feet from the street railway
trolley posts.
The type of globe to be used has not
been fully decided upon, it was said
Tuesday. The city engineer would be
glad to have any interested property
wner call at his office at the court
house to go over the plans and types of
lights. four of which are to be placed
on each side of the street in each block.
The last. day for petitions of protest
against the proposed district is No
vember %.

NEIHART LATH
Mill MARKETS
PRIZE GRADES
More Than $4,000 Brought to
District by Thirty-Car
Shipment.

The lath mill at Neihart has al
ready shipped 30 carloads of lath made
from lodgepole pine of the Jefferson
national forest, with the result that
better than $4,000 has found its way
into the Neihart district, according to
J.. A.. Yeomans, assistant supervisor,
who returned from Neihart Tuesday.
He has been marking trees for cutting
in the timber sale to the mill.
The lath has been shipped to mid
die west points and has built up a good
market for itself. The lodgepoie pine
now being cut is thickly growing tim
Der with narrow annual rings, with
the result that the grain is fine and
strong lath are made. Being thick
growing timber, they do not branch
out for some distance above the
ground and this means good, clear tim
Der for lath making. The lath from
lodgepole pine from this forest is re-
garded in the middle west as virtual
y on a par with the Pacific coast white
pine, he said, and is greatly superior
to the yellow pine of the western part
of the state which carries SO much
rosin as to make them inferior in lath
use.
About half the timber to be cut
this year has been marked by Yeomans
and he will return in a few days to
complete the work. About a third Of
the old timber is left standing, choos-
ing trees with good crowus and that
show signs Of being in healthy condi-
