Called.
SALARIES ARE LIMITED
Amendment Provides That Only

The House Committee on Ap-

out the bill introduced by Con-
gresham Martin B. Madden Of
Illinois, carrying an appropriation
of $500, 200 to enable the Depart

frauds.
The bill is expected to pass the

ed by the Attorney General in prose-
cutting the war fraud cases. The
one exception is made to permit the
employment of a high -salsried legal
expert to act as general advisor on
all this class Of cases.
In every respect the bill meets
the requests OF Attorney General
Daugherty as outlined by him at an
executive session OF the subcomnit'
tee of the House Appropriations
Committee last week.
The report of the committee hear
ing at which Daugherty appeared
to request the special 100000 fund
was made public yesterday. In it the
Attorney General estimates that
from $3.50, 900 to 100000 will be ex'
pended for attorneys fees, and $780,.
600 to $3.50 900 on account Of experts
and accountants.

Daugherty has promised the com.
mittee that prosecution OF the war
fraud cases will return many times"
the total amount OF the appropria.
ton to the Government. He also
wanted it definitely understood"
that politics would not figure in any
Of the cases.
Asked by Chairman Madden for
an estimate of how long it would
take to dispose of the war fraud
cases. Mr.. Daugherty replied:
IT do not know how long it will
take to go through these accounts
that is, how long 1t will take the
War Department to go through
them. Secretary Weeks told ms
that they had audited $4,000 OF
these $50, 900 accounts, and he estI.
mated it would take five years"
The Attorney General estimated
that so far the Department of
Justice had only gone to work on
about 275 war contract cases. Only
one OF these-the Lincoln Motors
case-has gone to the courts.

alleged laxness on the part Of the

other cases. Daugherty said his
course is to be conservative.

Russia's motive in giving the
peasants life ownership only is
clear. II the peasants children
go away to the cities and aban-
don the land somebody else will
get it. And as each peasant
dies the government will have
the right to dispose Of the land
again.
This means one hundred per
cent confiscation of land values
at death. Without modification
and the right of the heirs to
carry on the work it would
discourage land improvement.

This is Mothers Day. And
appropriately, newspapers pub
.lish Whistler's famous picture Of
his mother. It is only too good a
likeness of many mothers and
their condition. This writer long
ago used to see Whistler in Lon
don, with his little gold-headed-
cane, his keen eyes and the lock
Of snow-white hair, artificial, it

forehead. "Whistler's Mother"
valuable work of art, Is a dull
picture of real life, and is the
picture Of too many mothers.
She sits on a chair, with hands
folded, nobody near her. The
room is dull and quiet, the life is
dull and quiet, the dress is dull
and old. The face and the body
are tired.
The mothers work has been
done, the children have been born
and cared for, the anxious nights
been lived through, the husband
has been buried, or has proved
that he does not amount to much.
And there sits the mother, at
the end oft all, looking out
quietly, patiently, wistfully. Not
much ahead Of her but the un-
dertaker, with the white marble
slab and the stone mason's sug-
gestion "a loving mother" It's
always safe to put that.
They might also add on that
slab, "a woman that gave her life
to the next generation, her eff
forts, her energy and her heart to
this generation, whose life was
that Of millions Of other mothers,
and who got little thanks"

Here; to Diagnose at Dea-

Helena. July 9.-Dr. E. -. Hitch
cock. epidemiologist and director of the
hygenic laboratory of the state board
of health. will leave the employ of the
state August Il. when he will remove
to Great Falls to enter the clinical
group composed of Doctors Larson.
Porter. Durnin, Gleason and Hefter.
In his new association Dir. Hitch
cock will take over the d~iagnostic work
in the Deaconess hospital. together
with that of the clinical group of which
he will be the sixth member. He will
have charge Of X-ray and laboratory
work together with the various phases
of d%iagnostic research and blood chem
istry. Most of his work will be per
formed in the Deaconess hospital.
DR.. Hitchcock entered the service of
the state board of health in July. 1919.
coming here from Bremerton navy
yard. after having been for two and
a half years in charge of the labora-
tories of the 18th naval district. He

his work ct the court of copenhaaen.
He was NOS pleased at the proSptCt of
being displaced. So, when he SEPT his
formal note of resignation to President
Wilson, he appended to it a personal
note relating an anecdote. He said
that after the civil war there was a
maiden lady who lived in Richmond in
greatly impoverished circumstances
She was filled with the old pride of
the first families of Virginia" but
the war had swept away her state.
Reduced to penury she was compelled
to make doughnuts and peddle them
about the Richmond streets through,
which a few wears before she Lad
ridden in her coach. Conflicting emo
tons filled her breast. Her pc:rrty
made her eager to make sales: Nor
pride made her shrink from being a
street peddler.
So she went about crying in a rather
weak voice: ~"Doughnuts. doughnuts."
and after every cry, in a still weaker
voice, IL hope no one sees me-"
Anecdote Wins Retention
DIR. Egan told President Wilson that
he was in the same case. Custom
forced him to send in his resignation.
but he sincerely hoped that somehow
it would be overlooked. Whether il
was because the president was so
pleased with the candor of the min
lister and the charm of his anecdote or
whether he thought the aptitude of the
story proved Dr.. Egan too good a
diplomat to lose, he did not displace
him.
Under the Harding administration
there have been signs of the building
up Of a more permanent establish
ment. Brand Whitlock. whose appoint
ment by President Wilson was l.r-
tisan at the time, was retained BY
President Harding as ambassador to
Belgium. Hugh s. Gibson, who was
in the diplomatic service in the pre-
rious democratic administration. has
been sent as minister to Poland. ii.
percival Dodge. a state department
official who has been in the service
for years. was promoted and sent as
minister 10 the kingdom of the Serbs.
Creates and Slovenes. There have
been several other cases of a similar
nature.
International law is q science as in
~tricate and exacting as diplomacy
itself. Most Of this work is done in
Washington al the state department.
Major Fred X. Nielsen. who was APP
pointed solicitor. the chief legal officer
of the department. by President vii
son. has been retained in that position
by President Harding.
Whatever the policy may ba or has
been. there is one official of he Sta-e
department who has given it Il stable
and institutional tone. wholly ,,ide
from party changes and STRIFE. That
is Alvey 4. Adce. second assistant
secretary Of state. Mr.. Adee mt led
the diplomatic service in 1ST0-m,:e
than half a century ago. Although 50
years Of age he ia at his desk in tie
state department every day. IT
would be as inconceivable for a new
president or secretary Of state to ask
for Mr.. ADDE'S resignation on account
Of politics or accept it if it were ten
dered. as it would for a republican
president 10 refuse to live in the
House because his democratic
predecessor had done so.

the market being no longer crowd
ed with eager sellers the great prin.
ciple of supply and demand has op-
Grated to put Liberty bonds at their
proper price and they will probably
stay there unless very high interes,
rates tempt capital for investment
into other lines.
Wool prices remain steady around
forty cents. This also, is a contrib
uting feature to the rosy outlook
in Montana business conditions. A
large number of sheep men in this
state who were close to the ragged
edge of bankruptcy a year ago, are
now feeling safe and prosperous,
and many a bank which stood by
the sheep industry in its doubtful
hours now finds its cash resources
increased by the sale of the wool
crop at a good price which enables
the wool growers to reduce or pay
up their indebtedness. Cattle prices
are also moving up. the Chicago
cattle quotations now passing the
$40 mark for tops.
Altogether, the business outlook
in this state is distinctly improved
in recent months, and that is true
of the nation at large in spite of
the fact that a good many of its
citizens are idle through strikes.
In spite of these big strikes, non
employment is declining and in
many lines of skilled labor there is
even a scarcity of labor felt. All
the commercial agencies make op-
timistic reports. 1t looks like a
prosperous fall for state and
nation.

If the president is considering
the pardon Of the remaining ninety
prisoners convicted under the sedi-
ton act, we would suggest that he
release them under parole instead
of granting them a full pardon.
Also. that he make the condition
of such parole, that they should
spend the remainder of their SEN
tence in Russia, if they be citizens
Of the United States, and deport
them if they be aliens. excluding
them from this country forever
afterwards. From the viewpoint
of their radical comrades, such de-
%portation would be nc punishment,
but a great favor. Readers will re-
member with what professions of
joy Emma Goldman started out for
Russia, carrying large stores of
American gold with her to enjoy
herself in a heaven of communism.
They also we'll remember how she
told her sad tale of establishment
after she had fled from Russia and
got to Sweden where it was safe
to talk about her grand Russian
hosts. According to Emma they
stripped her of her American gold,
made her work for starvation ra-
tons of food, and generally were
worse tyrants than ]. P%icrpont
Morgan ever thought of being. If
she could only get back to dear old
New York, the home Of the Wall
Street capitalist. and the easy
worked working man, Emma would
soon be rich again and happy. Yes,
a course in Russia is just the medi-
cine these disloyal radicals need.
Mr.. Debs should have been sent
there. 1t might have cured him of
some of his radical views. BY all
means. Mr.. President, send the e
mainder of the sedition prisoners
to Russia on parole instead of par
doning them. if you are going to
let them out of Jail at all.
