STONE THROwERs IN GLASS HOUSES.

AS was to be expected the democratic press seized the oppor
tunity to score the administration upon the veto of the bonus bill
of course failing to take into account the failure of congress tC
provide for the funds necessary to make the bill effective. The
democratic promises to ex-service men show a dismal insincerity
while the records remain as at present.
There are only three states in the Union which have not done
anything, even of the most petty nature, for their ex-servce men,
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia are the three states, all safely
democratic. Some Democratic "Soid South" states have enacted
trifhng laws for ex-service men. Louisiana gives the American
Legion the use of public buildings and armories; South Carolina
has authorized a state medal for her service men; Arkansas has ex-
empted American Legion property from state taxes. Pat Harri-
sons state has not done even one of these small and inexpensive
things.
With the exception of one piece of legislation by North Caro-
lima and two or three laws by Texas and South Carolina, the DEM
ocratic "Solid South" has done nothing of consequence for the ex-
service man.
Contrast this with the record of Republican states. Twenty
of them have provided cash bonuses for ex-service men. Seven
teen give ex-service men preference in all civil service employment.
Twelve provide educational aid for ex-service men. Ten provide
financial assistance to ex-service men wishing to buy and equip
farms. Fourteen provide state relief for needy ex-service men.
Four provide state aid in assisting ex-service men to find work.
Three have provisions for loaning funds to needy ex-service men.
Twenty provide for admission of ex-service men to state hospitals
with free treatment while located there.

FORCES

The return of unhampered industry is the condition that all
Montanans are devoutly hoping for. No one can say that there is
any disadvantage to anyone in building up populous communities
in different parts of the state, creating markets for the farmer
and stockmen and providing work for all classes of skilled me-
chancs and common labor. Any body of men or individuals who
comforting a benefit to the state at large and are certainly worthy
of encouragement, so long as they conduct their affairs honestly
The laws of the state and nation in the main see to this part OF 1t,
while modern business ethics have shown the most obtuse the way
of success is based on reciprocal integrity. Montana has had some
bitter experience of industrial and political warfare aimed at its
larger industries and has learned that a reaction always follows
any effort to injure any of the basic industries of the state.
Through the sinuous and devious ways of political intrigue,
the democratic party of Montana finds itself forced to accept the
defame and vinify the motives of the men who handle the des-
TIMES of Montanas greatest industry. Posing now as a democrat,
two years ago he divided the party and brought them to defeat,
and will most surely accomplish the same result in the present
campaign. There is nothing constructive in the makeup OF b. K
Wheeler, who aspires to the senatorship from Montana on the DEM
ocratic ticket. Aside from that there has been nothing in his pub
lie life that inspires the average voter with confidence in his flu
of Montana during the late war, his record seems open to crti-I
cism, and was followed by his removal from office at the instiga-
ton of the leader in his own party-the same party that has now
been forced to accept him as candidate for the most important of
flee within the gift of the state. 81
In Mr. Wheeaers pAasferRa-utteranee8 he has always been at his
best in making appeals to class prejudice, supremacy eloquent in
vinification and vituperative expression toward those whose abil
ity and progressiveness had placed them in control of large enter
prises. This trait does not appear to us as the best recommended
ton for the office of United States senator. We cannot believe
that such a bitter enemy of large commercial enterprises as Mr..
tana in Washington. 1t can't be possible that the people of Mon
desire to encourage destructive forces in its representation at
the national capital. 1t is neither desirable nor is it good business
at the present time, or at any time for that matter. /

Twenty Years FOO
Items Taken at Random From
the files of the Times of 1902

Felix Armstrong and B. w. S. Arm
strong recently purchased a band of
200 sheep from p. B. Buchanan.
Prof. S. A. Remington has opened
a night school and the first session
vas held last night in the lower Min
ers' Union hall.
Ida M. Oxley and Alexander Stone
are among those who in the past week
have made application to offer proof
on their homesteads.
John w. Lester is making arrange
ments to open in the near future a
gymnasium in the hall on the hill for
merly used for that purpose. 1t will
be a cooperative affair and quite a
number of young men have joined the
movement.
A democratic rally was held here
last night, the speakers being Sena-
tor Gibson and John l.. Stanton. The
senator confined his remarks to ag-
riculture and irrigation, on which sub
jects he is well able to interest his
audience. Mr.. Stanton's address was
an unsuccessful attempt to deride the
party and candidates.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND LABOR.

In the summer of 1920 the unemployment situation becam
critical. 1t increased in gravity until by March, 1921, official es
Inmates placed the number of unemployed at 100000. This army
of unemployed was one of the legaces left the Republican admin
istration by the outgoing Democratic regime. That was Is months
ago. Today there are few men out of work. Labor of all kinds is
In demand.
Samuel Gompers issued several statements in the summer anc
fall of 1920 deploring the idleness of hundreds of thousands OF
workers. In November, 1920, the unemployment situation became
so critical that the executive council of the American Federation Of
Labor held a special session to consider ways and means of relfev-
ing conditions. In many of the industrial centers local relief
measures were taken in the fall and winter of 1920 to feed the un-
employed.
On December %, 1920, the u. S. Employment Service Bureau
of the Department of Labor, then under Democratic administra-
ton, gave out a statement estimating that 1000, 900 workers or
dinarly employed were out of a job.
On January g. 1921, the Plumb Plan League composed of A.
F. of L. affiliated unions and the railroad brotherhoods, issued a
formal statement, to the effect that 235o,ooO men ordinarily en-
ployed were then out of a job.
On April 25, 1921, six weeks after President Hardings in
auguraton Mr.. Gompers issued a public statement that the num-
Der of unemployed at that time was 100000.
These facts utterly dispose of the charge that the industrial
depression did not begin until after the inauguration of President
Harding.
On August /, 1914, the European war began and from that
time on our exports jumped to unheard of figures.
Coming to the Harding administration, we find that for the
IL months ending June 30, 1922, our exports were 1910 900, 900,
or over 1,300,0O0,O0 greater than they were during the greatest
export year of the pre-war period under President Wilson. This
effectually disposes of the charge that the Harding administration
cut off our foreign markets.

Reduced Freight Rate on
Wheat West Means Little

That the seven-cent reduction in
freight rates on wheat from M~ontana
points to Che goass r. giving III msah
little or nothing to grain growers of
this state is the opinion of grain men
who have been Investigating the mat
ter. Great Falls grain men made eff
forts to ascertain if the Montana
farmer would get any advantage in
price from the export rate reduction,
or if grain shipped west would get an
increased price. Excerpts from a tele-
gram received in reply would indicate
that they will not. They were given
by the Great Falls Leader as follows:
1--WE understand this rate put into
to help export from Pacific
ports and relieve car shortage and not
to increase your price.
Impractical for farmers and ship
pers to ask for benefit of export rule.
mills cannot use export rate.
Price your grain too high for export.
Most of your wheat milled for do
use"
