ONE ROAD TO PROSPERITY

Judge Mediation II butte recently made a speech before me
University club at Butte in which he delivered himself OF a great
deal of sound philosophy that indicates a more than usual insight
into present conditions and their remedy. Among other things
Judge Mediation said: - -
"Since we were compelled to enter war the whole fabric of our
peoples lives seems to have been changed. While the best blood of
our country, our young men, were Drawing death, disease and dis
ability in war camps here, and on the blood stained fields of
France, there were many at home entirely forgetful in the mad
race for money and luxury. The throne of honest and correct prin-
ciple seems to have been overthrow and after the war America
was dashed upon the rocks of profligacy and extravaganza.
What is to be done? Home must be re-estabished. If it can
be there is hope for our people and for our government. If not,
calamity exists for one and destruction for the other.
Eve must preach and teach the home life, the moderate ways
of living. and the %uphodng Of the principles of honesty and
square dealing.
DO you know that fully one-thrd or more of the officers in
the United States army are not necessary? Do you appreciate
that nearly onethird of the people of this country are coming to
the belief that the government should support them in office of
some kind-that they are entitled to live off the balance of the
people?
"The correction in my opinion is to be found in the strict en-
forcement of the laws. This will be aided by insisting that only
honest, capable men may be entrusted with office.
Teach that this government and all its branches, state and
national, are to be maintained for the benefit of all; that no man
people.
do away with the hordes that are living off unnecessary
taxation. Put forth every effort to destroy politics as a business,
and see to it that every public matter shall have the honest ring of
true business"

POLITICAL PROSPECTS

With the filing of the petitions of various candidates for
county office there is mild interest in the coming campaign, even
though election is several months away. In general with other
newspapers of partisan leanings, the Times has little to say of the
qualifications for candidates for the primries. We assume that all
republican candidates are models of ability, conscientiousness and
probity, and wish them all luck in getting by the first barrier.
After that we can generally get into the campaign with the vigor
and earnestness expected from a good republican organ.
About this time in an election year a great deal of surmising

Riverside Press: Golfers Weekly
tells of a man in western city OF
100000 reople who looked up the
seating capacity of the local theaters
and dance halls and found that It
was only $4,000 altogether, or II per
cent of the population. He concludes
that some of the people must be stay
ing at home, in spite of current
notion that nobody does that any
more.
Golfers suggests that it wasn't al
all necessary to gather the statistics;
anybody could have reached the same
conclusion by driving around the res
idence district in the evening and OBJ
serving the lights in the windows.
Another thing-it doesn't 4seem to
have occurred to this inquiring citizen
to consider the saloon and the effect
IF its abolition on gregarious hu-
manity. 1t is likely that the saloon
capacity in his city used to be 5 to 10

nails may be more crowded because
they draw so many of the people who
used to loaf around saloons. The ac-
tual number staying a. home is prob

MERCEN AIRY MEN CAUSE OF
WOMEN'S SCANT ATTIRE

Fremont (Nebr.) Tribune: Bishop
Alma White, head of the Pillar of
Fire denomination, is laying it all to
the men. She says the low necks,
sleeveless gowns, short skirts ana
gauzy hose is scheme of men for
making money. She says that it IS
a mercenary purpose that cuts wo-
mems clothing down to such scant
quantity. Just how she makes this out
when the quantity OF material sold
then is reduced about one-half is &
little hard to understand, unless 1t Is
accounted for on the theory that as
much is received for half the quantl-
ty of goods-that the dressmaher Is
able to make two dresses grow from
the same material that was formerly
used for one. She further claims that
the barred neck is the trick of the jew
eler and the furrier. If this be true
these two trades would have to be in
cahoots with the dress maker. 1t IS
our guess that the Pillar Of Fire
Bishop is off on her diagnosis of the
situation. and she mad better tr3

Bruce Drumnond, representing the United States Agr-

the adaptabiiy of date growing to this section and that

Valley and taking scientific notice of what being done
here. These all give weight to his verdict.
