JUDGE CHEADLE COMES
THURSDAY, OCT. 26

Residents of Wolf Point are to re-
ceive a rare treat on Thursday, Oct.
26, if the present speaking schedule
of Judge Cheadle is carried out, for
he is slated to speak here on that
date. His name is familiar to all as
he has spent lifetime in Montana,
much of which has been devoted to
public affairs Judge Cheadle is one
of the leading jurists of the state,
deep thinker and splendid talker.
He comes here under the auspices of
the Republican State Central COM
mittee.

BENEFIT SOCIAL AT
THE LIBERTY SCHOOL

A benefit social was given at the
Liberty school house last Sunday
afternoon. A large crowd gatherer
and thoroughly enjoyed the affair.
About $500 was raised for the bene-
fit of an unfortunate member of the
community This is the sort of
thing that reminds us that the milk
of human kindnes still flows and that
the day of the universal brother
hood is drawing nearer.

81 per year. A very clever move on
the part of the old gang who must
have felt confident of life lease on
their jobs. Referring again to the
county clerks annual report we get
authentic information as to the cost
of operating and maintaining these
county buildings. The county's busi-
ness year ends on the 30th of June
and for the year prior to the Both of
last June it cost the county S3,003
to heat and light these buildings,
$3.50 month, a surprising figure,
but not hard to understand when it
is remembered that four separate
places must be heated and that the
old brick school house built in 1903
is poor protection against the raw
Montana blasts. 1t was considered
pretty fine building at one time,
but it has served its day. The bricks
never of high quality have yielded
to the strain of the frosts and ele-
ments Walls show cracks outside
and in. Besides this the heating
plant is either lacking in capacity or
has about played out, for the offices
on the exposed sides are cold. When
the temperature is low and the winds
are high it is practically impossible
to make them comfortable That is |
why. such a tremendous amount of
fuel is required. Then again, the
clerks report says that for the year
ending June 30th repairs to buildings |
and equipment cost 1920. This |

TAYLOR & JEROME
FINE DOUBLE TEAM
PLENTYWOOD EDITOR TAKES
ON JOB OF REFORMING
TOWN OF POPLAR

1t is a trite old saying that politics
make strange bed fellows, but it's
the truth. For now we have the
spectacle of Chas. E. Taylor, sue
cessful graft buster and political re-
former, editor of the Nonpartisan
organ, The Producers News of
Plentywood, hitched up in double
harness with Chas. w. Jerome of
Poplar, political boss of Roosevelt
county, and the man who considers
politics a game in which the pawns
are anything you happen to want.
This pair of trotters is showing re
circular track that starts at ''Poplar's
is the Center" and goes around by
way of the $4,000 myth and comes
back to the starting point. Up to
date they are getting on just lovely.
1t has been said that Taylor has
enough "on" Jerome to make Sioux
Indians hair curl, but Taylor will
not use it, not just now, because he
has bought newspaper in Poplar
and may come over and take up the
job of getting it and Charlie to
sign the pledge and live better lives.
Jerome is not such, bad fellow after
all and has redeem ming traits. For
instance he controls the county
printing for short while yet.
Eats EN- Alive
Taylor is a real live wire, as Joe
Dolan or most anybody in Plentywood
will tell you. He hates corruption
and can spot CRATER farther than
a fapper can read an ice cream sign.
He gets out the red hottest reform
sheet in the state of Montana and
his name is nightmare to graft fra
ternity of Sheridan county. Yet
Chas. E. Taylor is hard to sable. He
now says Sheridan county is almost
as much interested in the rough and
tumble fight going on in this county
between the "Housecleaners" and
the Treasury Looters as this county
is, and his paper has quite list of
subscribers in this county. He was
well aware of the hot primary cam
paign to clean up the county, and he
must have seen the famous report
on the Roosevelt county officers of
the State Examiner, which was pub
lished in three papers. He saw the
the ticket the Housecleaners were
Queer Stuff
But he never printed line of news
about the campaign for clean politics,
and never bit of editorial comment
or encouragement. After the pri-
nary election he said not word {
about the sweeping victory for de-
.ency in county government, that
s not until just recently. Now he
;ays it was a fine thing to turn the
rang out and they were bad lot.
But his paper is putting in its best
icks to aid Poplar, the home and
tronghold of that gang, to keep the
.ounty seat so that the county seat
an keep Poplar, at county expense.
And so that the gangs leading spir-
IS will have a swell chance to worm
themselves back into contral and
gain milk the taxpayers.
It's Really Touching
Taylor is death on gang politics
'ut is pulling with the captains in
ommand of the Roosevelt county
ang-helping them hold their last
inc of defense. This is one variety
f consistency. Taylor shoots their
dope and then the Poplar
apers copy it, and he copies their
ope. Jerome quotes Taylor in large

Official Figures

OnlcIal Figures
Let us get down to facts and fig
ures in an honest effort to learn what
the cost is now and what it would be
of maintaining the county institu-
tons at Poplar and Wolf Point.
At the present temporary county
seat some of the county officials are
established in an old brick school
building, that is the property of the
school district, out at the edge of
town. The court room and the clerk
of courts office are in a building
downtown and the county attorneys
office is in another building. Then
there is the Jail built on land belong
ing to the school district. For the
court room and the clerk of courts
office and the county attorneys of
fce, the county pays rent of $3.50
a year. When the offices were moved
into the school building the agree
ment was that the rent should be
$500 month but so far as can be
learned from the records, this has
not been paid. Quite likely this was
done for the purpose of making a
good showing in this campaign. If
the permanent county seat should be
voted to Poplar it is not improbable
that the bill for the back rent would
be brought in. And of course it
would be paid. However, the claim
IS now made that the county has
taken ninety-nine year lease on
this property at nominal rental OF |

One of the fghtfu bogies of the county seat campaign
the alleged staggering cost of moving the county nst-
utions and establishing them in another place. The old
guard who have done we'll at the present temporary
county seat are strenuously opposed to moving it. They
profess to be state of great alarm lest of the suf
erng payers money should be used wasted as they
it. the terrible expense of moving the county seat.
In way that they have not explained they have
rived at the conclusion that would $4,000 and they
shouer they sing the song all to the tune of Forty
Thousand Dollars
Sincere Economists
1t is no doubt gratifying to the taxpayers to note the
change in the attitude of the old bunch toward the
payers and the county funds 1t only few months since
$4,000 lost in pair of Poplar banks scarcely worth
passing comment It just happened of course nobody
was to blame And when they used some $4,000 in an
utterly worthless classification of the farmers lands it
wasn't anything to talk about They needed the money
to carry the county seat and other campaigns of two
years ago and had it that there good chunk
of it left for the present campaign. And the
time of the county board being taken up at $500 per
day to recassfy much OF this land but that is alright
each reclassfcaton lengthens the commissioners proceed
ngs and the county printer who gets his job at his own
price, gets the benefits
Forty thousand dollars frittered away on fat gravel
contracts let to relatives of county officials and claims
Of county officials for mileage at 25 cents per mile and
refunds of the countys interest money to pet banks
doesn't amount to anything, and those who dare to cr
cize such things and tell the people about them bunch
Of radicals they Selfish and they 'insncere"
Some of the old gangs supporters would have you believe
that those who demanding and lighting for economy
county affairs in reality in favor of the profess
sona politicians who have bed Roosevelt county white
during the past three years more. They in SYM

500 FEET OF COPING
FOR LINCOLN POOL
Other Improvements Finished on
Capitals Public
Grounds.

Work Of placing 5000 linear feet
of granite coping around the reflect
ing pool at Lincoln Memorial will
begin about the last of this month,
or as soon as granite is received
from quarries in North Carolina, it
was said today at the office of the
superintendent OF public buildings
and grounds. The contract for the
work was let recently. Installation
of the coping is one of the last fea-
lures of the work which will COM
plete the rejecting pool.
The approach of spring finds the
Office of the public buildings and
grounds hard at work in different
parts of the city preparing to make
Washington beautiful this summer.
The reservation on Park road at
the end of the Mount Pleasant car
line now contains drinking fountains
and work has been completed on the
lawn.
There is an improvement in side
walks at 18th and NJ streets north
west, being made by the cutting of
triangle located there. This gives
pedestrians a wide sidewalk direct
from the car stop on Connecticut
avenue through to 18th street, the
chief idea of this being to give
free access to the business section
around 10Th and NJ streets.
The parking area on Indiana ave-
nue. at the foot of 1St and 3rd streets
is being enlarged to relieve cOnEes-
ton which has existed there hereto
fore.
Down on the golf links in Potomac
Park wOrkmen are installing oil and
sand-putting greens on the West Po-
tomac course.
A number of trees are being plant
ed in the east and west sections of
Seaton Park, west of the Botanic
Gardens.
Dogs running loose in Rock Creek
Park go through and tear down hedges
and plants, it is stated. and theof1"e of
superintendent OF public buildings
and grounds states that the ordinance
requiring dogs to be in leash will be
strictly enforced.

EVIDENCE FINISHED
IN DIVORCE INQUIRY
Alexandria Bar Committee
Ready to Formulate Re-
port Next Week.
p;spatcl to The Star.

Special DispatcI, to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, March 1S.-
With all the evidence i'll and maj
arguments completed this afternoon,
all is in readiness for the special
committee of seven Of the Alexandria
Ear Association, engaged in the in
ycstisation of the divorce situation
here, to get together and formulate
it's report. This will be done early
next week.
AS heretofore stated in The Star,
this committee will submit its re-
port to the Alexandria Bar Associa-
tion of the city for ratification. At
toruey John S. Barbour followed At
torney Frank Stuart i'll arguing the
case this afternuon. MIR. Barbour
made Il plea in behalf of Judge Mon
, cure and attempted to outline the
distinction between residence and
domicile, quoting cases handed down
by the state court Of appeals to bear
out his contentious. Domicile. he
said, depends on the intent on which
it is acquired. Under the existing
law of Virginia, Mr.. Barbour declar-
cd. it would be natural that the
people of Washington would seek
this city for having their marital
troubles adjudicated.
Judge Moncure. MIR. Barbour de-
clared, did not try to cover up any
thing before the committee. MIR.
Barbour said that, SO far as the rec
Ords and evidence showed, there was
nothing Go Indicate that any wrong
had been done any one by the court.
Judge Moncure. he said, is entitled to
d clean bill of health.
Referring to Mr.. Stuar., the latter
being the attorney who claimed Ian
ness in the enforcement OF the dl-
vorce laws, Mr.. Barbour charged he
tried to beSmirch Judge Moncure.
1t was contended by Mr.. Barbour
that domicile does not require liked
period of time. Under the law. he
declared. man may come here today
and acquire a domicile and leave 10
morrow. In reference to the number
of divorces granted here on the sig
nature of residence of one person,
MIR. Barbour declared the judge is
not Il detective and he is not d prose-
cutting officer. He is supposed to be
dealing with honest and competent
attorneys. he declared \ judge, he
said, is held down by the record.
The committee that has made the
investigation is composed of Howard
w. Smith. chairman; Judge l.. {.
Barley. Judge J. *. NJ. Norton, Judge
G. +. Nicol. J. Randall Cation, Gard
ner l.. Boothe and c. Keith Carlin.
