little higher than in the years immedi

Who Is B. K. Wheeler?
BY TOM STOUT
Editor, Lewistown Democrat-Ne

any fight. ever though said under dog
happened sometimes to be wrong.
It was the most natural thing in the
world that the combined progressive
forces of the state should have turned
TO him as a candidate for governor
two years ago. He was known to be
sincere and fearless. That he was de-
feated was no reflection upon him but
simply indicated the weakness of the
forces behind his candidacy. His over
whelming vote in the democratic prim-
aries attested his popularity, and to-
day there are mighty few members of
his party who are not heartily sup
porting him in his campaign for the
! senate.
Professionally, Burt Wheeler Is
recognized among the first flight of
Montana attorneys. BY his own eff
fort he has acquired a comfortable
fortune, but the increase Of affluence
has not altered his attitude toward
public questions or his belief in the
rights of the masses. 1t has simply
given him a broader opportunity to
espouse his beliefs.
Personally, Wheeler Is as likeable
a fellow as can be found in the state.
There is not an ounce of affectation
about him and he is always just what
he appears to be. under all circum-
stances and conditions. Reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding, Burt
Wheeler is not a destructionist, pOlit-
ically. He believes that legitimate in
dustry should be given all possible en-
confinement and has always aimed
his lance at what he conceived to be
inequalities in our industrial and po-
litical system.
The editor of this newspaper first
met Burt Wheeler in the state legis-
lature Of 1911. of which both were
members, and has maintained a more
or less intimate acquaintance with him
ever since. We have not always
agreed with him, but have never
doubted his loyalty to his adopted
state or the sincerity of his motives
at all times.
Knowing something Of the caliber
of members of the United States SEN
ate from close personal contact. we do
not hesitate to say that Burt Wheeler
will measure UP to the best of them
intellectually and will surpass most of
them in courage and independence, at
tributes most sorely needed in that
body at this time. He will be no.
body's rubber stamp but will be his
own man at all times. His broad
sympathies for and understanding of
the needs and aspirations Of the av-
erage citizen of this state will make
him ever an effective champion of
their rights.
Burt Wheeler Is no accident He
has fought his way u. TO his present
position and is entitled 10 the popu-
larity which be holds among thou
sands of Montana people.

NEW YORK STATE CON-
VENTION

MR.. HEARST failed to get the
AVA nomination for governor of
New York at the democratic state
convention and Ex-Governor Alfred
E. Smith was nominated. The
name of Mr.. Hearst was with
drawn after having been before the
convention for a couple of days.
He had the support of Mayor Hy-
Ian of New York City, but Boss
Murphy of Tamnany Hall is said
to have favored Smith. As. DR..
Copeland, who was nominated for
United States senator, is said to
have been leader of the Hearst
forces for governor, we presume
the result may be guessed as a
compromise. Democrats outside of
New York would hate to see Mr..
Hearst leading the democratic
party in New York. His record
as a democrat is a mighty poor one.
He has used his personal influ-
ence, his money and his newspa-
pers repeatedly to defeat demo-
cratic candidates and democratic
policies. We cannot see how he
has any claims to support from
good democrats. The fact that the
democratic nominee for the Unit
ed States senate from New York is
a supporter of Mr. Hearst does not
give us much confidence in his
party loyalty.
For the rest the New York dem
ocrats came out in their platform
with a demand for a modification
Of the Volstead act SO that light
wines and beers shall be defined
as mountaineering. Nothing is
said as to the per cent of alcohol
in these light wines and beers that
are to be included in non-intoxi-
eating drinks if the New York
democrats a get an amendment
through congress. 1t might be
quite possible to make a non-intoxi-
eating light beer, but the usual
light wine contains from 7 to 10
per cent of alcohol. The supreme
court in its decision over the me
half of one per sent Volstead act
declared that it would not inquire
into the allegation that more than
this percentage of alcohol in beer
was not Intoxicating, but would
leave the decision of congress on
that point as settling it. Perhaps it
would use the same reasoning if
congress declared that 10 per cent
of alcohol is not Intoxicating.

Apostle Paul's time. They are
tickle and fond of change. The
new thing attracts them. The new
policy is popular. Before the
great war broke out, the Greeks,
Serbians and Bulgarians fought the
Turks successfully and all but
drove the Turks out of Europe.
Then they quarreled over the divi-
sion of the spoil, and the Greeks
and Serbians fought the Bulgarians.
When the world war came on,
Greece sided with Bulgaria and the
Turks against the Serbians and the
allies. The kings wife was a sis
sister Of the kaiser, and the Greek
army was pro-German. Then a
revolution drove the king out and
Greece, under its greatest modern
statesman, sided with the allies in
the closing days of the war. Vent
zelos, her prime minister, took a
leading part in framing the peace
treaty with the defeated Turks,
B~ulgarians and Germans, and got
large territories added to Greece
at the expense of her ancient
enemies, the Turks. Then the peo-
pie repudiated the rule of Vent
zelos, and sent for their dethroned
king again, while Venizelos fled.
King Constantine started a new
campaign against the Turks in Asia
Minor and Thrace and, without the
consent or approval of the allies,
waged successful war against them
for a time. Then he met with dis
aster and defeat, and once more
the tickle Greeks have forced him
from his throne and the mobs in
Athens are shouting the name Of
Venizelos and demand his return
to power under a new king or a re-
public. Public opinion in Athens
seems as unstable as it was 1000
years ago, when the demagogues,
or soap box orators Of that day,
used to invite the mob to turn out
one government and put in another,
banishing their rulers one year and
recalling them the next.

! Inquiry as to where was powerful
Carl Riddick?' when President Hard
ing vetoed the soldiers bonus bill is
being made by many of Montana's ed
itors-in republican papers as well as
democratic. During the recent cam
paign, Congressman Riddick empha-
sized his close relations with the pres
ident, leaving the inference in the
minds of voters that the president was
guided in great measure by the advice
Of eastern Montana's congressman
and that the president relied at all
times upon our congressman's loyal
support.
professions of loyalty to the president
and his administration" note the Butte
Miner, do not appear to square with
his recent course, to say nothing OF his
past one, for it was noted by the AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches that when

was up for consideration in the lower
chamber, MI. Riddick was recorded as
absent and not voting While
most Of the other absentees saw to il
that they were paired either in favor
Of the president or against him, Mr.,
Riddick left his leader in the lurch and
found it convenient not to go on rec

The Butte Post, a republican news-
paper, points to the inconsistency that
exists between the present republican
members of congress from Montana
and the platform of the republican
state convention made in Helena few
days ago.. The platform pronounce
ment was: I'VE pledge to President
Harding the loyal support of our re-
publican nominees for the United
States senate and house Of represent
atives." The Post points out that "the
states two republicans now there are
Mr.. Mccormick and Mr.. Riddick. The
president lost both of them on the
crucial vote on the soldiers bonus
veto"
The Muscular, another republican
newspaper, raps President Harding in
this fashion: There is every reason
why the service men should be sore to
their hair roots over the fate of the
bonus bill. President Harding, then
Candidate Harding, promised the
bonus in the campaign of 1920. The
republican national platform declared
for it. The American Legion declared
for it. We believe that the great mass

where it sticks. Not long ago, the
bankers checked up and found there
were 26,637,831 Americans with saw
ings accounts that aggregated ST.
DOC, 100000. Just think what the Ger
mans would have done to that bank
roll if the service men had not kept
them from winning the war. Yet the
bonus for the first two years would
have cost the national only $3.50, OO0,-
600 in money that would have been
kept in constant circulation. Are re-
publics ungrateful? Make your W
guess"
The Helena Independent Is already
wondering what sort of abb the re-
publican weeklies of the state are
framing for Congressman Riddick's
return to Montana before votes had
been taken on some of the important
matters to be considered in the clos
ing house of congress last session
The Independent points out that Rid
dick returned before all the weeklies
had completed publication of the
canned stories of how he had rushed
back TO Washington as soon as the
primaries were over to stand behind
the president"
The Helena paper also calls atten-
ton to press dispatches which said
that Congressman Riddick "has lit in
Miles City and after interviewing Joe
Seaman, head of the state committee
probably assuring Joe that a nice
hunk of 'kale' would be along presently
from headquarters to help pay the ex-
penses of the c~ampaign-he tells the
world that most of the national admin
istration is coming to Montana to see
that he is elected as United States
senator"
The New Northwest of Missoula, an
independent newspaper, which is sup
porting Governor Dixon, says that
"the administration which whitewashed
Newberry and is run by the interests
which own and control the greater part
of one-third of the worlds gold sup
ply is about ito let loose a lot of
money in Montana to elect Carl Rid

of the new settlers that fruit
growing will ultimately be one
of their principal lines OF
activity.
They have purchased their
farms on the contract plan.
From their crops this year
they will not have to pay any
principal, only interest, taxes
and water assessments. 1t is
believed that they will be able
to do this easily and have
money left to buy what neces-
sites they will need and tc
start their crop operations for
next year.
Instead of wanting to own
more land, the new settlers
are looking forward to the
time when they will have
raised the productivity of their
land to the .point where the
100 and 80-acre tracts can be
divided into 40-acre farms.
They believe that DO acres is
large enough farm for any per-
son and that if it is properly
developed and cultivated it will
make its owner a comfortable
living and a little more be-
sides.
Those who have visited the
community are impressed by
the happy spirit of content
ment which prevails and are
confident that the next two or
three years will show such adj
vance among the new settlers
that a great impetus will be
given to the movement to
break up the large land hold
ings in this state and induce
many settlers to move. 1t is
in getting a large population
of such Industrious men and
women as the new settlers in
Chestnut Valley on its vast
agricultural areas that the fu-
ture prosperity of Montana
depends.

THE TOMATO

THE editor is in receipt of a COM
L munication from a subscriber
who tells us that in unusually large
crop of ripe tomatoes has been
grown this year in Great Falls and
vicinity and that there is little
market for them and many will go
to waste. He says they are selling
for a few cents a pound. We pre-
UNI that he refers to producer
prices. However that may be, it
is a fact that tomatoes are plenti-
full this year and cheap and we
agree with our correspondent that
the frugal housewife would do well
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-10-01

to stock up her cellar with plenty
of preserved tomatoes in the form
of ketchups, relishes or other
forms of this delicious vegetable.
The same advice applies to other
fruits and vegetables which seem
unusually cheap and plentiful this
year. Advices from Washington
state that the apple crop of the
country is nearly twice as large as
last year and very near a record
crop in quantity.
The tomato is a peculiarly Amer
lean fruit and it is also a native of
South America. 1t is only in re-
cent years that people have found
out how good the tomato really is,
and in Europe, though known since
the sixteenth century it is not much
used as yet. Like the grape fruit
we have only recently come to ap-
preciate the excellence of the to-
mato. If there is a large supply
available at a cheap price as our
correspondent states, we surely
hope that they will not 60 to waste
but get into the jars on our pantry
shelves for consumption during the
winter, even if sugar has been
boosted in price by the republican
tariff bill.

THERE HAS BEEN SO much un-
favorable and untrue propaganda

THERE HAS BEEN so much un-
i favorable and untrue propaganda
circulated during recent years
concerning Burton X. Wheeler, demo-
cratic nominee for the United States
senate, that a brief resume of the ca
reer of that very interesting young
man might not be out Of place.
Burt Wheeler was born In Massa-
chusetts 40 years ago and was educat-
ed in his profession, the law, at the
Michigan State university, Ann Arbor.
After completing his schooling, he
came to Montana. an ~impecunious but
ambitious young lawyer. After knock
ing about a bit he settled in Butte.
He endured the usual hardships of the
Hedging attorney, but by his energy,
attractive personality and intelligence
gradually won recognition in his pro-
fession at the big copper camp.
In 1910 he was nominated by the
democrats for the state legislature
and took his seat the following jan
uary. That was the famous deadlock
session. Il. j.. Walsh was the choice
of a large majority OF" the democrats
of Montana but the enmity of a GER
tain powerful interest in the state
prevented his election to the senate.
During his campaign, Wheeler had
pledged himself to vote. If elected, for
Walsh, and he kept that promise, un-
der conditions which would have
broken a young man Of less courage
and less resolution. Every manner
of persuasion and threat was exerted
by the men who hold in their hands
the fate of his home city to get him to
forsake the Walsh forces, but in vain.
Wheeler stood ~staunchly by his pre-
election promises and al one of the
last to change his vote on the last
night of the session, when Senator
Myers was chosen.
That was the beginning Of the feud
between Wheeler and the big indus
trial organization of Butte. 1t was
freely predicted that he would be
speedily broken and driven from the
state, but he went back home and
started to fight it out with his power
full adversaries.
If one wonders why a man Of Burt
Wheeier's birth and training becomes
radical, as that term is so loosely ap-
piled these days, he has only to under
stand that it was only among the rad
icals that he had friends or could OBJ
tain support in his contest against
very great odds.
The fight against him was utterly
relentless. 1t followed him into his
office Of the United States district
attorney and was responsible for the
realms of calumny circulated about
his administration in that office. But
throughout it all Wheeler maintained
his poise, kept his temper and gave
blow for blow. He always cham
pioned the cause Of the under dog in

Their wheat yields were not
as large per acre as some of
their neighbors who had lived

the fact that the Mormons did
not have time to properly

heavily on seed to the acre.
The business men of Cascade

selected by the Mormons from
their own number to decide
matters of policy in the COM
munity.
In addition to blowing their
ground and planting, cultivat-
ing and harvesting their
crops, the Mormons have
found time to build little
on each of their farms,
to build fences around their
ownings and to do considera-
BILE road work. The roads on
the flats of the Chestnut Val
ley used to be impossible at
times. but now they are well
honed and grsveled highways.
The new settlers homes are
small in size and modest in
design and construction, but
they are comfortable and neat.
Each in a general way re-
