 William ?. Kenney is vice presi- dent and traffic director of the Hill road. About 30 years ago in the cos mopolitan Sixth ward of south Min neapolis there was a newsboy Billy Kenney, the very same fellow. He bawled his wares in the heart of the city every evening. With the intia- tive of a courageous Irish lad he held down the busiest street corners But his salesmanship was so good that two armfuls of newspa pers became burdensome. He established the first corner newspaper stand in his home town. It was only big dry goods box. but answered the purpose all right.

 While the Sunday morning papers were less bulky than those of this day, they were too big a load for little Billy to lug around So he got his first lessons in the transportation business by purchasing billy goat from another kid in South Minne- apolis.

 The launching of the offensive will take place Monday morning. January l6. This will be a push unlike any thing the legion men have done since their visit across the Hindenburg line and their romp through the Argonne, which ended November Il, 1918

A CONSISTENT FRIEND

Good news comes from Washing ton in the report that Senator Mc- Cumber will likely be appointed chairman of the Senate finance com- mittee.
 Ex soldiers remember that Sena- tor McCumber has been a consistent friend to the adjusted compensation measure in the Senate.
 The chairmanship left vacant by the death of Senator Penrose will go either to Senator McCumber of North Dakota or Senator Shoot of Utah. The soldiers remember too well that when the adjusted compensation measure came last July and when President Harding and Secretary Mellon wanted the measure recom- mitted, Senator Smoot was one of the a7 who voted for it's recommitment; so it stands to reason that at least 100000 or 5,000,000 of Americans outside of Washington are solidly in favor of the appointment of Senator McCumber to the vacancy on the fin ance committee.

HENRY FORD's PROJECT

THE proposition made by Henry

plant at Muscle Shoals which has
been abandoned since the war by
the government after spending

seems doomed to failure. Secretary
Weeks, under whose charge the
plant is at present, has decided to
pass the buck and leave the decision
Of accepts-.re or rejection to con-

rejection. The Newberry election
case is just completed in which

The bee and honey industry is fast

due to the large amount Of alfalfa,

body, light color, and Of fine flavor.

This, added to the amount produced
in the Bitter Root, Sun river and

to more than million pounds of honey

COURT REVERSES
JUDGMENT AGAINST
BIG HOLE RANCHER
Mason, Sentenced for Obtain
ing Money Under False Pre-
lenses Wins Appeal.
Special to The Tribune.

Helena, Jan. 24.-Because the dis
trict court of Deer Lodge county erred
in refusing to admit testimony offered
by the defense to show that defendant
had assigned 5000 worth of bonds to
the DAILY Bank s. Trust company at
Anaconda to reimburse the bank for
a loan under which Jack Mason was
charged with obtaining money by false
pretense the supreme court has re-
yersed the lower court in it's judgment
against Mason and has remanded the
case for new trial. The opinion was
handed down BY Supreme Court Com
missioner A. ]. Horsky.
The facts developed at the trial
shows that Mason, on Jan. 10, 1921,
applied to the DAILY bank for loan,
representing that be was the owner of
3,4oO acres of land in the Big Hole
basin in Beaverhead county, about
1900 head of livestock and $500 tons
$4,000 and subsequently drew out of
the bank $500. Learning that his
representations were false the bank
withdrew the balance of his credit,
The defendant did not take the stand
to contradict the testimony of the
prosecution but he offered to prove
that he had assigned to the bank $1,000
in bonds which he claimed the bank
had accepted in full restitution of the
money he had borrowed. This offer
the court refused.
Mason was convicted of the charge
and was sentenced to imprisonment in
the state penitentiary. He appealed
from the Judgment and from the order
denying new trial, which appeal the
supreme court now sustains.

$2,846 in Case Against
O'Neil Estate.

Helena. receives judgment for ST.
846 and interest at S per cent from
March 16, 1915. against the estate of
John w. O'Neil in a decision of the
supreme court handed down Monday.
Linquist sued the estate of O'Neil
for commission claimed to have been
earned by him in securing a purchaser
for O'Neips ranch situated near East
Helena. Linquist held a contract with
O'Neil for the sale Of the ranch and
the payment Of the commission.
The case was tried in the district
court Of Lewis and Clark county and
a jury brought in a verdict against
Lindquist who appealed to the supreme
court alleging error in the giving of
the instructions. The supreme court
at the December term affirmed the
judgment of the lower court, holding
that there was no error in the giving
Of the instructions.
A rehearing was asked for by Lin
quist which was granted and in Mon
days decision on the rehearing the
first decision Of the supreme court
is reversed, the lower court is reversed
and it is held that there was error
in the refusal of the lower court to
give one instruction. The court now
holds that judgment shall be entered in

agriculture on lands that have been
cropped SO long that they require
artificial fertilizers. Mr.. Ford
may be lacking in some respects
and perhaps lacking in the qualities
needed to make a good United
States senator, but he is surely not
lacking in business ability or
benevolence. He is a dreamer and
an executive at the same time. If
congress turns down his proposal
to take the Muscle Shoals plant off
the hands Of the war depar tment,
which once announced its inteitnon
to scrap the plant, it will surely
take a considerable responsibility
on its hands.

ton feared to do this themselves,
they passed the buck to congress.
The Springfield Republican in COM
menting on the facts, says:
Sending Henry Ford's Muscle
Shoals offer to congress for accept
ance or rejection means probably
the death Of the great enterprise
which Mr.. Ford wished to develop
The stand decided upon by Secre-
tary Weeks may have been neces-
sary, especially if he found his
power limited by existing statutes
to comply with Mr.. Ford's condi-
tons in all respects. At the same
time, the secretary must have re-
coiled somewhat from assuming
full responsibility for making the
necessary contracts.
1.-THE reason for this will appear
in case congress gets to debating
the Muscle Shoals plant. There will
be bitter attacks upon it simply be-
cause Mr.. Ford has bitter enemies
in congress as we'll as outside. The
Newberry election case in the sem
ate has aroused deep feeling and it
is hardly conceivably that New
berry's friends could detach them
selves enough from the Newberry-
Ford election fight to take purely
business view Of any Ford enter
prise, not to say one on such a
grand scale as that at Muscle
Shoals.
"That Mr.. Ford's offer has real
merit, that it is practical, that it
would be advantageous to the gov
eminent and the whole Missippi
valley is. sustained by much expert
evidence. But Mr.. Ford is the kind
Of genius who is the more hated
the more he succeeds; and the con
eress of the United States is very
far from being big-minded enough
to give him the opportunity which
his imagination as a captain Of in
dustry has visualized."
The question of cheap fertilizers
interests the east more vitality than
it does the west, but we are Of the
opinion that Mr.. Ford tells the
truth when he says that he is not
so much interested in this plan of
going into the production of nj
trates extracted from the air from
money-making viewpoint, as from
the viewpoint Of benefiting the ma

WHERE JOHNSON STANDS

CENATOR JOHNSON Of Cali
~ fornia has been away from
Washington for more than month
now. A great effort was made to
find him and get him paired when
the Newberry vote was taken IN
the senate, but evidently Senator
Johnson did not want to be lined
up either for or against the Doodle
senator from Michigan. He was
one of the very few senators re-
corded as not voting on that issue.
There has been considerable Curl
osity to know how Senator John
son regards the Pacific entente
treaty with its clause so like article
10 in the League of Nations cove
nant that has just been negotiated
by Henry Cabot Lodge with Presi-
dent Harding's appreciation. When
he returned to Washington the
other day after a months absence
in California, the newspaper men
sought to get an answer to this
question, and while the California
senator refused to give them
categorical reply, his sarcastic
reply would seem to indicate that
he is not going to be with Presi-
dent Harding and the administra-
ton on this issue. In fact, one
would be justified in saying that
Senator Johnson feels that he was
stung when he assured the public
that the mind Of the president and
his mind were in complete harmony
on the question of foreign alliances.
Of course, that assurance was given
before election, and circumstances
are quite different now, but evil
IDENTIFY Senator Johnson has been
keeping up a heavy stunt Of think
ing while far from his job at Wash
ington. The New York Times
reporter at Washington thus repre-
sents his present views:
THE man on the street out west
is wondering and wondering, ac-
cording to Senator Hiram Johnson
OF California, whether the repub-
liean victory Of 1920 was in vain.
Senator johnson, who arrived
last night from the west after
four-weeks' visit to his home state,
said that he wanted to study all the
treaties that would come into the
senate from the conference for the
limitation of armament before COM
uniting himself to opposition or
support of those treaties.
"'It would be presumptuous,' he
said, for me to attempt to analyze
the sentiment of the west on the
quadruple alliance, but from my
personal contacts, this appeared:
"'The prominent League Of Ma
ton supporters hail it with glee as
the justification of their attitude
on the league. The opponents of
the league view it with regret, be-
cause they fear its possibilities.
The imam on the street," who voted
by 100000 majority to keep this
country from entagling alliances, is
wondering and wondering whether
his victory was in vain. Of course,
the English-Japanese propaganda
newspapers (and there are many of
them) are quite enthusiastic.
"Taken altogether, the sentiment
as met with is not unlike the senti-
ment on the league after the league
had been under fire six months or
30. The old leaguers are for what
they think is a new one, while the
great mass of people want to know
fully the situation, and they voted
to keep out of the big one"
