The appointment of Walter Owens
as police Judge by Mayor Trueblood
is regarded as an excellent selection
and was approved by the Council at
its meeting last Monday night.
Judge Owens has the digniaed bear

his many friends are pleased that he
has been elevated to the bench. Also
they entertain the hope that "Wait'

called to pass upon their cases in his

Fifty Foot Dam Will Water H.
600 Acres Engineers Expect
TO See Land Open In 1924.

The camp where the wildwood will
be constructed is now being built.
Thirty men are now constructing
quarters on what is known as the Sam
Gorrell place. twelve miles southeast
OF Powell.
r. y. Sass will have charge of the
building of the dam which is to be so
feet high and water 1850 acres on
the south side of the Shoshone river.
Power from the Shoshone dam will
be used in the excavation work.
More men will be employed as the
work progresses and it is expected
that 1t will be completed some time
next summer. In this event 1t is
probable that the land will be open
for settlement IL 1924.

Two representatives OF the Sanity

amendment to the Volstead act per

light wine and beer.

60 per cent Of the business men in
Cody had signed up in this %organiza-
ton and that II they had more time
the percentage could have been rails

was admitted by persons who had
themselves voted for prohibition.

rebuffs in his campaign here for mem

<aOhhho A"As y
has been cast at Sheriff Davis for his
activities"
We agree with Mr.. Newton. If he
means that Sheriff Davis has not been
accused of profiting through being in
"cahoots" with bootleggers, for no
reasonably cautious b%ootlegger would
place that much confidence in the
sheriff, but If Mr.. Newton is not
aware that it is generally believed
that Mr.. Daveis is accepting a salary
from the Anti-Saloon League in addi-
ton to that which he draws from the
county, our peerless leader is not SO
we'll informed as we had fancied.
And the worst of it is-for Mr.. Da-
vis--few would believe him if he did
deny it, or the Anti-Saloon League,
either, for that matter, as their zeal
has taken them to such lengths that
there is very little that is now put be-
yond them.
Sheriff Wickwire of Bighorn Coun-
ty was offered a bonus by that organi-
%zation, we are credibly informed, and
refused it. 1t is not probable that
Mr.. Davis was sighted when the
A~nti-Saloon League was making it
an object to sheriffs to catch violators
of the prohibition law.
iaew else account for Mr.. Davis's
tiesextraordinary and splendid &C.
tivfties?"
Most people having a thimbleful of

If spirits of ammonia cannot revive
a chilled or nearly drowned person

This sounds like a joke from a

which we arc the victims since the
fanatics slipped over their 18th
amendment
R. G. Hopkins who was a candidate
for the office Of county commissioner
for the two ear term has withdrawn
in favor of David Powers of Ralston.
Mr.. Powers, who came from Boston
some ten years ago, is one of the most
respected men upon the CShoshone
project He is not only a man of ed
ucation and ability, but fair-minded
and just in all his dealings. The vot-
ers will make no mistake in tying to
him at the primaries. Aiming to
cast no aspersions uon our neighbors,
Mr.. Powers and his family really be-
long In Cody.
That the complaints made against
the yellow bus drivers by motorists
nave been reduced to a minimum
since the undesirable publicity given
them because of their lack of consid-
GRAFTON for tourists, is the best evil
dence of the truth of the charges
made by both local persons and
strangers.
Also the fact, as we are informed,
that three of the drivers have been
transferred would indicate that the
transportation company realizes that
the complaints were not ~groundless.
The Enterprise has no pick on
bus drivers so long as they recognize
the rights of others and remember
that the road to the Yellowstone is a
public highway built by the people.

THE COUNTY PRIMARY

The "Clean House ticket in Roosevelt county went
over with a grace and dignity that does justice to the
voters of the county. The decisive victory of the candi-
dates who were pledged to clean, honest county govern
ment is proof that the voters Of the county have a keen in
terest in the affairs Of the county. 1t was not a personal
victory for any candidate on the ticket. The time was ripe
for a housekeeping and when the voters took their ballots
into the booths they were determined that right and justice
should prevail. 1t was a battle for a principle; a vivid
demonstration of what can be accomplished when public
opinion is once aroused.
The candidates who were nominated at Tuesdays pri-|
mary election are not skilled politicians; they are not
versed in the art of political trickery. They are good,
clean, honest citizens of Roosevelt county who are con-
scientously striving to better conditions and reduce taxes
by the elimination Of all unreasonable, unjust and I'M
necessary expense. Their highest ambition is to get the
countys feet on the ground, as it were. To put the ma
logic will be applied to matters pertaining to finances, con-
tracts, office help, in fact every department of the court
house. This is going to be no small task and Will not be
accomplished in a day, but the voters overwhelmingly
decided that it must and shall be done.
The victory Of the "Cean House" ticket cannot be-
credited to any particular section of the county. No town
or community can claim the honor of putting it over. 1t
was an uprising Of the thinking people against the things
they had endured in the past and for the things they have
a right to and do expect Of public servants. The hand
writing was on the wall. The very atmosphere was sur
charged with the thought and the idea of cleaning house
at the temporary county seat had penetrated to every
nook and corner as a purusal Of the returns will show.
The public is long suffering and slow to anger but III
cases of this kind they speak in no uncertain terms. Now
logical thing for the constituents to do is to render
these new men every possible aid and assistance in carry
ing out their program Of economy and fair dealing

GOVERNOR DIXON

At the last election Joseph M.
Dixon received more votes for COVER
nor of Montana than Warren o..
Harding received in the state for
president of the United States. The
election was admittedly a Republl-
can landslide but when a candidate
for a state office leads the presiden-
tial candidate on the same ticket, 1t
is proof positive that he is a big man,
that the people of the state have
confidence in his ability to handle
the affairs of the state in a business
like manner. 1t is proof beyond
question that he is the chosen leader
and that his judgment is sound IN
matters pertaining to state finances.
The records show that during the
wear last past that the cost of state
was reduced th%ree-quar-
ter of a million dollars under the
year before and that at no time since
1916 has so little state money been
expended from the state treasury.
An organization styling itself the
Democratic Club" and which is com
posed wholly of enemies of the gov
ernor. has been sending out thous-
ands of circulars comparing the
state government expense accounts
of the past year with 1916. The
~comoarison was so arranged as to be
easily understood to be a comparison
with the year 1920 or any of the in
tervening years. This was mere po-

WOLF POENT AND THE PRIMARY ELECTION

In Tuesdays primary election Wolf Point was very
anxious to do its full part in the housekeeping job and
although handicapped by numerous peculiar conditions
came through with flying colors and fully up to eXpecta-
lions. The vote was light from various causes. Many
Of the friends of the Clean House ticket were away from
the city engaged in ~threshing, grain hauling or other bust
ness. Many had not registered for this election. The
total vote of Wolf Point proper and Oldtown was SIG, or
less than go per cent Of its real strength.
The candidates on the Clean House ticket received
the following percentages of the Wolf Point vote on the
offices for which they ran:
Young Commissioner, 4 candidates 70q6.
Anderson-Sheriff, 3 candidates, 500.
~Brown-Attorney, 2 candidates, 82%.
Hardie-Clerk and Recorder, 3 candidates, $50.
Kellogg-Treasurer, 3 candidates, 1870.
Bartholomew-Surveyor 2 candidates, 86%.
McFarlan-Supt. of Schools, 2 candidates, 1870.
For representative with four candidates on the ballot
and two to be elected, it is impossible to know how many
voted on that office and SO there is no base on which to
figure per cent, but Zuck received a handsome majority
with Ostby a good second.

A SCOUT IS BRAVE.

He has the courage to face danger
in spite of fear. and to stand up for
the right against tine c~oaxfngs Of
frierYds or the jeers or threats of
enemies, and defeat does not down
him, and somebody has expressed
pretty much the same idea in the fol-
lowing poem
me test of a man is the fight he makes.
Bhe grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and takes
Fate's Numerous bumps and Blows:
A coward can smile when there's naughE
to- fear,
When nothing his progress bars.
But it takes a man to stand up and cheer
While some other fellow stars.
1t isn't the victory. after all,
But the fight that a brother makes;
The man who, driven against the wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows of fate with his head held high.
Bleeding, and bruised, and pale,
Is the man who'll win In the by ands BY.
For he isn't Gsrafd to fail.
IT'S the Bumps you get, and the jolts you
get,
And the. shocks that your courage standsl
hours Of sorrow and vain regret.
The prize, that escapes your hands.
Thai test your rnettle and prove your
worth;
1t isn't the blows you deal.
But the Blows you take on the good oAaI
earth
That shows If yvur stun Is real.

ESCAPE TAXATION

The idea of tax-exemption for any
class of citizens at the expense of
another class, should be repugnant
to every American.
And yet there are today some
$4,000, O0O, 900 worth of tax-exmpt
bonds and securities outstanding in
this nation and hundreds of millions
of new bonds of this character being
issued by cities, counties and states
each year.
Tax returns show that these issues
are absorbed by the wealthy who pay
not a penny's tax on many millions
of income. Amounts thus lost being
made up by the average citizen and
buiness man whose burden is doubled.
Here is the first place to start to
equalize the tax bill and President
