CIVIC PRIDE

A citizen of Browning has protested
through the columns of the Spokesman
Review because that paper credited
Havre with being the coolest place in
the United States during the recent
storm. The Browning resident states
with quite a show of indignation that
Browning is ever so much colder than
Havre, some II degrees to be accurate.
and that Browning achieved the bad
eminence of 40 below during the last
spell. and that for 10 days the warmest
it got was 10 below and that the snow
is two feet on the level. Civic pride
is certainly a funny thing.-kaIispeIi

Senator Wheeler
Wants to Go Back
to the Constitution
From Helena Independent,

Quite a number of newspapers who
are still sore because their tin god
Carl Riddick was elected to stay out
of the senate recently, have vented
their spleen on S~enator-elect B. K.
Wheeler, taking occasion whenever it
presents itself, to accuse him of being
a red and asserting he is still the
.'same old Wheeler although during
the campaign, they persisently repre-
sented Wheeler as an agent of Big
Biz" This, notwithstanding the fact
that Riddick had been a member Of
the Nonpartisan league but had be-
trayed them as soon as he was elected
to the house.
In the hurly-burly of the post
election caterwauling which has been
in progress for some time. these news
papers referred to, probably overlook
ed a Washington dispatch relating
what Senator Wheeler said at the be-
called in Washington By Senator La
Toilette. According to the dispatch:
"Senator-elect Wheeler told those
assembled that he is not a radical, for
radicals are extremists and 60 too far.
He said he would not style himself
a progressive, as they reach out too
far ahead. He said he was truly a
conservative and he believed in going
back, way back to the Declaration Of
independence and the constitution.
from which he said, we have wandered
far in recent times
We have just mentioned this for the
purpose of giving the carping critics
of the senator-elect an opportunity to
right-about-face and resume their
campaign attitude of accusing him of
being a reactionary and a champion Of
the big Interests"
Senator Wheeler will prove to be a
level headed man, a hustler for his
constituents. and a credit to the state,
is the confident prediction of his sup

LEAvlTT FOR FARM BLOC

Congressman-elect Scott Leavltt has
announced his intention of working
with the farm bloc when he goes to
Washington. This is as it should be;
the steel men. wooden manufacturers,
makers of cotton goods, and all other
manufacturing interests have always
been represented by some of the
shrewdest men in the manufacturing
states, but the biggest manufacturer
of all. the farmer, has until late years,
had his interests consistently pigeon
holed. Until the senator's and repre-
sentatives of the farming states united
in a concerted policy. the slogan was
Millions for manufacturers but not a
cen for farmers."-Rosehud Record.

nj AND PYTHiAS

Col. Bill Cheely and Admiral Joe
Hooking are two of the best known
and most generally liked newspaper
men in the Treasure State. They
have been referred to affectionately,
every now and then. as the Damon

Each in his respective pursuit has
welded q hypnotic influence On Il great
many people, but that they have
determined to teamwork the public
they will simply be irresistible. Indi-

will be no other combination just like

NILS HAUGEN,s RETURN

Could there possibly be any better
illustration of the careless, irresponsi-
BILE plain lying Of the anti-Dixon press
than is given in the return of Nils
Haugen, Wisconsin tax expert, who left
the state some time ago, after q study
of the state tax situation. Following
his departure every big interest daily
in the state announced that he and
the governor had fallen out. Of course,
the governor did not condescend to
notice these statements and now Mr..
Haugen has returned to take up the
work which he put aside temporarily.

EAsToN is AN oPTIMlsT

Dana n. Easton, clerk-eIect OF the
court, will be greatly missed
in Poplar. Easton is a fellow who be-
lieyes that to have friends n must
be friendly and he has made that a
rule of life. Dana is an optimist at
all times, has a CHEEKY word for every
one and to employ a slang expression
he is a booster rather than a knocker.
Easton came here in 1912 to practice
law and with the exception Of the three
years that he was in the service he
has been here ever since. While on
the front line Easton was wounded
and spent many months in hospitals

NORTHERN MONTANA FARMING

and the highest tariff wall ever
raised in this country shuts their

tariff hurts the farmer in two
ways. It prevents his selling his
surplus products abroad. and it
makes what he buys at home
