HAVRE. Mont, Oct. 30.-A
coroner's inquest may satisfy the
law, but the heart of mother is
not so easily contented.
The Rev. Leonard Jacob Christ

Church here, and widely known as
the "Bishop of all outdoors" was
shot and killed by Mrs. Margaret
Carleton in a fit of temporary in

gun came from with which the
shooting was done"
The mystery Of the gun remains
unsolved today. 1t admittedly was
not the small-caliber, pearl.handled
weapon that Mrs. Carleton was
known to carry which sent the fatal
bullets into the clergyman and his
protege of the chautauqua circuit.
Also the conversation that took
place between the slain rector. his
wife, and Mrs. Carleton just prior TO
the tragedy remains a secret locked
behind the lips of Mrs. Anna w.
Christler, widow of the popular
preacher.
Beyond the statement she made
at the coroner's inquest that Mrs.
Carleton had declared to her tEat

Big Ford Show for Memphis.

1t has just been announced that
an immense Exposition of agricul-
tural and industrial power and equip
ment will be held in Memphis for
eight days, beginning September o.,
in connection with the Tri-State
Fair.
According to Mr.. r. H. Rust, local
Ford dealer, this Exposition will ex-
hibit the most complete showing of
agricultural power and equipment. 1t
will also completely destroy the fall
lacious idea that the Fordson Tractor
is for use on the farm only. Instead,
it has become tremendous power
in the industrial field, and this great
Exposition will show it's manifold
uses.
Explaining further, Mr.. Rust said
"By being used for industrial pur-
poses, l mean this latest of Henry
Ford's inventions-th Fordson Trac-
tors being used to supplant ex-
pensive steam power and horse power
in building and construction work, in
lumber and coal industries, in road
building.
For instance, large number
of manufacturers of bodybuilding
equipment, observing the power and
fexibility of the Fordson Tractor,
have built their machinery to be used
only with this efficient power plant.
Manufacturers of hoists and
winches got the idea, and now the
Fordson is used for hosting and OPP
Grating concrete mixers and other
machinery used in construction work.
"a Southern inventor has taken
the ordinary wheels off the Fordsoll,
set the power plant in a heavy frame,
put f1anged wheels on it, connected
them with driving rods, and made
out of it to be used in
lumber, mining and construction op-
erations.

The State Fair.

We are reproducing an open let
ter from the Law Enforcement Lee
gion of Nashville to J. w. Russ
wurm, secretary of the Tennessee
State Fair Association, which will be
interesting to the taxpayers who are
compelled to contribute to that in
stitution thru taxation.
There is a movement in Nashville
among the ministers and laymen of
the churches protesting against the
opening of the State Fair on Sun
day, and Mr.. Russwurm has made a
statement to the effect that the fair
would be open on Sunday only for
sacred concert. But this does not
seem to satisfy the Legion and 9TH
ers. They want little more eX-
plicit statement about what is in
cluded with a sacred concert.
Now the questions incorporated in
the open letter imply that Mr.. Russ
wurm is using the State Fair conces-
sions, notably the gambling schemes,
for his own private profit, whereas,
as secretary of the fair, he is sup
posed to be creating and deriving a
revenue for State Fair purposes. The
taxpayers, who are paying $172,50O |
for the State Fair and others this
year, will please make a note of this.
No wonder Mr.. Russwurm wants |
the fair opened on Sunday. That is
likely to be big day with the rubes
coming to town to get fieeced.
Now The Commercial is not par
ticularly interested in this Sunday
We argued in the cam
paign before the primary that the
whole blooming institution is not
worth to the people of Tennessee
$172,500, not half that amount, nor
even the tenth part of the appropria
ton the Legislature has been making
for the State Fair.
This fair is merely a Davidson
County institution, and it is worth
to the people of Davidson County on
y what money is brought to and
spent in Nashville on account of the
fair. AS an agricultural enterprise
Tor the State of Tennessee it is a
.otal eclipse.
Of course, like every other public
that is not closely watch-
I'd, corruption will creep in, and
sometimes thru the officers higher
Up in the management.
So let the Legion go ahead with
is work, and as far as this paper is
oncerned, do whatever they can to :
top the rough-neck business. '

Good Cows-Good Care, Good Profits.

Large and profitable production
of milk and butterfat necessitates
good dairy cows, properly fed and
cared for" says C. A. Hutton, dairy
specialist, Extension Service, Univer-
sity of Tennessee. Good breeding
and good feeding go hand in hand. ;"
THE dairy farmer who applies the
laws of breeding but disregards the
principles of feeding, or vice versa,
cannot attain the greatest success.
Too much Importance can hardly
be placed on the value of having
good efficient dairy COWS, but the
best herd of dairy COWS in the State
may be made Improbable through
poor, inefficient feeding and manage
ment. Many dairymen need to dis
pose of some of their COWS and re-
place them with better ones, but
practically every dairyman in the
State can increase the net profit
from the cows he has by proper feed
ing"

sued publication, No. 100 Feeding

Mr.. Hutton with Wow to assisting

The Test of Government.

In the language of Attorney-Gen-
eral Daughtery the rail strike has
reached the point of conflict be-
| tween the labor union and the fed
eral union. 1t may not be so serious
as that, but the situation is, to say
the least, critical The government
will survive, and must survive at any
cost. The destruction of labor I'M
ions is not desirable, but the destruc-
ton of the federal union is unthink-
able. The safety of the republic lies
not so much in the observance of the
law as in the ability of the govern
ment to punish violators of the law.
A man who can violate the law with
impunity is superior to the State or
the nation. The supremacy of the
law is not in the ability of the courts
to punish an occasional offender, but
in its ability to punish every offender
and make every individual subject 10
the established law.
In securing an injunction against
the strikers on every road in the
United States, President Harding,
through his Attorney-General, has
taken the most drastic action ever
resorted to in a strike. Mr.. Gompers
says the injunction is "scrap of pa
per-" Some of Mr.. Gompers' kins-
people across the sea originated that
expression. 1t was unfortunate then,
and it is unfortunate now. A solemn,
treaty can not be violated with i'm
punity; and the fundamental law OF
a nation can not be held in contempt
with security.
The injunction against the strikers
is merely a recital of some of the
things which every citizen under the
law is forbidden to do. The injunc-
tion says that no person can interfere
with the railroads in the perform |
ance of their lawful business. Ev-
cry person of ordinary intelligence
knows, whether he is a striker or
not, that he has no right to interfere
with the conduct of any legitimate |
business. The injunction says that |
employees shall not be intimidated |
by taunts, threats or epithets. There |
is nothing unusual in this feature. |
The injunction forbids lettering
about the places of business of the
Any person lettering on
Main street to the annoyance of a
business firm or its customers would
be arrested. There is nothing in the
Injunction that any law-abiding cit
zen need feel apprehenGive over. Ev-
cry citizen is legally enjoined from
with the rights and priv
leges of another under the constitu-
ion.
Now that the government has de-
,lared that it will guarantee to ey-
Try individual and every institution
he constitutional right to exist or
abor without interference or moIes-
alton, the public will await the out
ome. If the government can not
nforce its solemn guarantees of pro-
ection that every institution and
very individual has right to claim.
hen not only is the injunction
crap of paper, but the constitution
