One Hundred Per Cent Americanism

One Hundred Per Cent A~mericanism
Press censorship is unnecessary, so
far as the rank and file of newspapers
is concerned, especially the small city
dailies and country weeklies, who ever
stand for truth and patriotism, as
against socialistic exploitation.
The country press is today in the
forefront to combat and give pitiless
publicity to the forces trying to un-
dermine the constitution of the United
States and overthrow our government.
History is full of warnings. People
in ancient times said: ut can't hap
pen" and the same thing was said in
Russia but a few years ago.
1t can happen. Our entire social
and commercial fabric is threatened,
else the reports that filter through the
press, from the department of justice
the nations secret service-and
other sources, are not to be relied up.

public opinion is moulded, and if toe

sence of the best impulses of the hui
man race; by hundreds and by thou
sands the wretched victims of old
world caste are streaming westward,
seeking here the thing that the flag
stands for-opportunity.
It stands for the quick against the
dead, the youth of the world against
it's senility.
1t stands for the open door of am
bition against the closed door of caste.
1t waves defiance at all ghosts, they
that have for long intimidated men.
the ghost of monarchy, the ghost OF
aristocracy, the ghost of war, and all
their kind that still lay shadowy upon
the life of Europe and Asia.

in his friends behalf and he has land
ed many of them in positions. Of
course he has been unable to land all
of them but he has been mighty dill
gent. And the men he has recommend
ed for appointment do not have to
have their finger prints on record in
order to protect the government. Mr..
Riddick knows every one of them per-
sonally, and knows their record for a
long time back and it is a pretty safe
bet that he has made very few mis-
takes so far.
At least we have neve heard of any

THE COAL STRIKE MESSAGE

At Herrin, ILL.,, last week two score
or more of non-union miners were MUIR
dered in cold blood by a mob Of al
legged union miners and sympathizers.
Press reports say: Cracks, build
ings and hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of equipment were
dynamited as today's battle closed
shortly before noon, amid the hilarious
whoops of 1000 bloody drunk miners
and the admiring plaudits of their wo-
men folks"
A national effort is being made tc
condemn and forever stamp out the
disloyal propaganda and teachings
that are primarily responsible fol
such horrifying and un-American out
breaks.
The questions involved in this whole
situation are-shall the government
or the labor unions rule, and shall in
dependent labor not belonging to the
unions, be protected in the legitimate
exercise and enjoyment of it's consti
tutional right to work unmolested:
Shall employers of labor be protected
in the exercise of their right to con
duct their own businesses and emplo!
whomsoever they please without re
gard to the employees affiliation Of
non-affiliation with any labor union
or other organization of any char
acter?

Exchanges
Riddick on His Ear


"The American people were using
100000 tons of sugar every week.
During the profiteering period on sug-
ar these same gentlemen who are ask
ing us to vote them millions of dollars
Of the tax payers money raised and
imported and sold hundreds of tons
of sugar to the American people. On
the sugar they raised and manufac-
tured and brought from Cuba, for
instance, there never was any limit
to the price they could charge. No
one will ever know how great their
profits were during the war years on
many large transactions among all of
their companies. But on a measly
$4,000 tons they figure a loss of some
millions of dollars, which they ask
congress to pay out of public funds
as a moral obligation due them. The
claim is not a just n as tax payers
Of the nation, and congress must not
authorize it's payment.
The above are the last words of a
speech made by our Congressman in
his fight to prevent the sugar trust
from getting it's hands in Uncle Sans
pocket book. We want more men in
congress like Riddick, who is now a
candidate for the senate.-Saco indie

Riddick Pleads Guilty

(From Fergus County Argus, June29.)
The Helena Independent, Great Falls
Tribune and other Democratic newspa-
pers of Montana will please take no.
tice:
Congressman Carl Riddick pleads
guilty to a certain charge made
against him by the national civil SER
vice league. This charge was made in
May and Mr.. Riddick has been 50 busy
that he didn't get around to enter his
plea of guilty until quite recently.
The charge was in effect that he has
been making recommendations for fed
eral appointments of men who have
shown their interest in the Republican
party by active work in it's behalf.
Also Mr.. Riddick has stood by his
friends and has been very diligent in
the national civil service league and
their behalf, something that strikes
others of the effete east as being
something just awful.
Some of these far fasteners would
make the correct solution of problems
IN trlgOnOmetry a sufficient test Tor
elevating a person into government
service. By much the same kind of a
test they recently permitted 40 thieves
to enter the employ of the New York
post office, and TO- they recommend
that finger prints be made of all ap-
pointees or applicants for appointment,
SO if they have a criminal record it
may be traced.
Out here in this rough and ready
western country a mar that fails to
stand up for his friends and show his
appreciation of what they may have
done for him, is considered a double
crosser and is branded as one who de-
serves nothing whatsoever. He is kick
ed out of the society of decent citizens.
Mr.. Riddick has certainly been active

"OUR" FLAG

When you see the Stars and Stripes
displayed, son, stand up and take off
your hat!
Somebody may litter. You may BIAS
pheme in the street, and stagger
drunken in public places, and the by
ISLANDERS will not pay much attention
to you; but if you should stand bare
headed while a company of soldiers
march by with their flag to the breeze,
some people will think you are showing
off.
But don't you mind! When Old
Glory cones along, salute, and let
them think what they please! When
you hear the band play "The Star
Spangled Banner" while you are in
a restaurant or hotel dining room,
get up, even if you rise alone; stand
there and don't be ashamed of it,
either!
For of all the signs and symbols
since the world began there is never
another so full Of meaning as the
flag of this country.
That piece Of red, white and blue
bunting means five thousand years of
struggle upward. 1t is the full-blown
flower of ages fighting for liberty,
It is the century plant Of human hope
in bloom.
1t means the answered prayer of
generations of slaves, Of the helots
of Greece, of the human chattels of
Rome, of the vassals of feudalism, of
the serfs of Russia, of the blacks of
America-of all who, whipped and
cursed, have crawled from the cradle
to the grave through all time.
Your flag stands for humanity, fol-
an equal opportunity to all the sons
Of men. 1t stands for no race. 1t is
not like an English, French or Ger.
mar flag. 1t stands for men, men OF
any blood who will come and live with
US under it's protection. 1t is the only
banner that means mankind.
1t means the richest, happiest
youngest people on the globe.
Other flags mean a glorious past
this flag a glorious future.
1t is not the flag Of your king, i
is the flag of yourself and Of all you
neighbors.
That flag is the concentrated es

decisions of the United States rail-
way labor board.
The truth is that the men have been
expecting a reduction in their wages
and, as would be the case among any
other body of intelligent men, they
have made or are making preparations
to meet the new scale.
The strike statements are made by
leaders of the unions, whose viewpoint
has been distorted by months of eff.
fort before the board to resist the in
evitable downward trend of wages.
The employees, on the other hand, are
in the main sincerely interested in tax.
ing care of their jobs and their homes
and few employees in any industry have
more good reasons for doing so.
It should not be forgotten that the
men in railroad service work under
much more favorable conditions thar
in outside shops and industries.
The existence, and the policy of thu
labor board have benefited the rail
road employees because the board ha'
prevented these reductions in wage!
until long after the wages of men do
ing similar work in other industries
had been cut.
To leave railway wages on theil
present high basis would be to maxi

MR.. PRAY

Many old time friends of for
mer Congressman Pray will re-
greet his decision to enter the pri-
mary as a candidate for United
States senator. They feel that it
only complexities the political sit
uation without any advantage to
his ambition. Mr.. Pray has many
friends who would be glad to sup
port his under different condi-
tions. They would want to know
whether he or someone else was
to get the benefit of their votes.
We don't believe Mr.. Pray would
purposely act as a wedge to split
the vote in the interest of some
one else, but there is danger of
his candidacy having no other re-
sult.-Grass Range Review.
The above brief comment on the
candidacy of Mr.. Pray was written
by John M. Vrooman, the oldest Re.
publican newspaper editor yet in the
harness in Montana, and it reflects the
general sentiment, so far as we are
ablye to judge, of Charlie Pray's
friends in this section of the state.
Mr.. Pray's entry into the senator.
ial ace was unexpected and unan-
nounced. Numerous Republican vot.
ers had already made up their minds
as to whom they would support before
he came in, and while they have
friendly regard for Pray they are no
going to switch to him except in case:
of very close, personal friendship.
Voters in every section of Montan;
also regard Mr.. Pray's late entry al
something in the way Of a mystery
The rank and file know Of no influ
ence that might have been urging tn
gentleman to make up his mind t.
run at such a late hour, and they ar,
q~uerulous when two or three of then
get together and discuss his candi
dacy. Indeed, the report is quite gen
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1922-07-07

eral that Mr.. Pray was induced to run
by a few people who are DESTROYS of
cutting down the vote of Carl Riddick.
If this is true, it may be truthfully
said that Mr.. Riddick is paying the
penalty of being the leading candidate
for senator. The big Democratic news
papers of Montana trained their guns
on him the very day it was rumored
he would become a candidate and now
it is possible that he is the object of
jealous plotters within his own party.
It has that appearance at least.
