COURTESY RULES TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
Series of Suggestions Issued to
Assist Motorists.
When Man Behind Sounds Horn to In
dictate That He Wishes to Pass,
Draw over to Right and Let
Him Have Clear Road.

Courtesy on the road among motor

courtesy series Of suggestions is now
being issued.
Lack of courtesy, 1t is pointed out,
often leads to recklessness, which in
turn leads to accidents. Therefore,
motorists are asked to read the follow
ing courtesy rules:
/. When a man approaching you from
behind sounds his horn as a signal that
he wishes to pass, don't ''step on it."
Draw over to the right and let him go
by.
.. Dc not use more than your half
of the road, thus crowding others into
the ditch.
3. 1t is not courteous to steal "A
parking space from a man who is just
getting ready to back in.
4. Do not imagine that every motor
LIST on the road who tries to pass you
Is starting a race. He may be on i'm
portant business.
8. When you pass a man from behind
going in the same direction, do not cut
in directly in front of him. This is
dlscourteous
6. Do not shove another mans car
along the curb to make room for yours,
thus jamming his car against a fire.
plug or the car ahead.
Z. 1t is discourteous to halt behind
n traffic jam and honk your horn.
s. The correct giving of hand signals
is courteous as well as safe.

RAINS SWELL MILKRW-
Err HOMES FLOODED
RANCHERS FORCED TO MOVE
AND SCORES OF EASEMENTS
FILL AS STREAM RACES.

GLASGOW, June 25.-The Milk
river is out of its banks and the entire
valley is nuder water excepting few
high places. The river invaded a part
of the south side of Glasgow coming
up as far as Fifth avenue south and
numerous residences are surrounded.
Ranchers in the valley were forced to
move and remove their livestock.
Nearly three inches of rain brought
a fresh volume of water to the al
ready swollen stream and brought the
water over its banks.
RESCUE MOTHER AND CHILD
Mrs. F. Rhode on Cherry creek and
her nine-months old baby were isolat-
ed by flood water and were rescued
by boat.
During the heavy rain the sewers
were unable to carry off the heavy
flow of water, causing it to back up
and fill Easements. The basement of
the Milk River Valley Bank, occupied
by the Glasgow Democrat, was flooded
owing to the failure of the sewer
ShutOff to operate. Printing stock,
type and electric motors were remOv-
ed before the water reached them, but
the linotypes and presses are partly
submerged. The basement of the
Rumble building had four feet of wat
er but stocks were removed before
much damage was done. The Glas-
gov Courier had several thousand dol
Lars worth of typewriters and supplies
in the basement but was able to re-
move nearly all of it before any dam
age was done. The basement of the
Cash Grocery and Glasgow Meat mar
l1et were partly filled without doing
much damage. Tenants of the Jen-
sen apartment suffered considerable
damage when the basement contain
ing the storage lockers were goOded.
TOURIST PARK A LAKE
At daylight the city put a force of
men at work and all manhOles and
street drains we're plugged, enabling
the. sewer pumping station to carry
off the flow of the sewer and drain the
Easements and keep them dry. The
tourist park is a lake, water being
five feet deep and coming over the
floor of the cook house. Tourists who
were stopping there and were held up
here on account of impossible roads
were forced to seek higher ground.
The DeacOness hospital has water on
all sides of it's grounds but is only a
little Inconvenience by it. The high
way west of Glasgow is under three
feet of water.
The grade on Cherry creek, on the
Opheim road is again washed out fOI
a distance of "a feet. The grade at
the Adam Lentz bridge over Milk
river is in danger of going out. Three
feet of water is over the road between
the Red bridge over Milk river anC
Glasgow.
The rainfall of 2.81 inches in a per.
iod of eight hours was the heaviest il
the history of the local weather bu
reau, according to Observer Elmer
Hall, total of TAG inches of rain hav.
ing fallen here since the first of June

PERMANENT INJUNCTION

After July 1 any justice OF the
peace of police magistrate may issue
a search and seizure warrant upon the
recommendation of the county attor-
ney, the old law provides these war
rants could be issued only by district
court judges.
A somewhat drastic provision of the
new law which will prove especially
effective in curbing liquor sales is that
providing a permanent court injunc-
ton may be issued, which will per-
petually enjoin persons convicted I'M
der the law from its violation a
second time. Under the law no pro-
ceedings are necessary to obtain the
Injunction, it being automatically in
effect upon conviction under the stat
ute. Persons convicted under the law
again found guilty of its violation will
then be in contempt of court for VIC
lation of the perpetual injunction and
will be subject to fine not to exceed
the sum of $4,000.
Another jolt for bOotleggers con-
tanned in the new laws is prison sent
ence for second offense. The mini
mum penalty for second offense is SIX
months in the state prison and a fine
of 5000. The maximum is a two year
term in the state prison and fine not
to exceed $4,000. This provision OF
the law applies also in cases of per
sons transporting or possessing intox-

FREE SPEECH
RIGHT WON IN
BUFFALO, N. Y
SECOND TRY is SUCCESSFUL
CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION RE-
PORTS.

A significant victory for free speech
was won in Buffalo, New York, Mon
day last when Carlo Tresca, noted
Italian editor and leader of the anti
Fascist movement in the U. S. re-
turned to Buffalo to vindicate the Con-
stitutional right of free speech which
had been refused by Mayor Schwab
of that city the first time Tresca tried
to speak there on May 9Th.
Tresca was scheduled to speak in
Buffalo on Sunday night but the hall
was locked by the police Inspector,
under order of Mayor Schwab, who
had left the city for the day. The
meeting was adjourned until the fol-
lowing day.
On Monday morning a committee
representing the American Civil Lib
critics Union, consisting of the Rev
Alfred Priddis, of the Church Exten-
sion Society of Buffalo, who was
/ scheduled as chairman of the meeting
/ Eustace Reynolds, attorney for the
Union, Pat Quinlan, editor of the
'New Age, and James Battistoni
leader Of the local Italian group, wait
ed on the Mayor.
The Mayor was still cold to the idea
| of Tresca speaking. He claimed thai
''Tresca had a bad reputation and po
lice chiefs all over the country haC
congratulated him on preventing the
first Tresca meeting"

CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
TELLS NATIONAL SECURITY
LEAGUE WHERE TO TEACH
RESPECT FOR CONSTITUTION
SUGGESTS LAWLESS PUBLIC OF
FICIALS BE AMERICANIZED
FIRST.

Following the announcement that
the National Security League was I'M
dertaking a campaign to teach respect
for the Constitution throughout the
u. S., the American Civil Liberties
Union, in a communication to S. STAN
wood Manken, president of the League
asks whether it would not be advis-
able to begin such teaching first
among those who are elected to pro-
tect constitutional rights"
Assuring the National Security
League that in such event the Civil
Liberties Union was in favor of their
plan, the communication signed by
Robert w. Dunn, associate director,
states:
However, we are eager to know
just how would proceed to impart
knowledge of the Constitution to GER
tain public officials with whom we
have recently come in contact. Take,
for instance, Chief of Police Oaks of
Los Angeles, Cal. who told Upton Sim
clair: Constitution or no constitu-
ton, you're not going to speak in San
Pedro" Or take Captain Plummer of
the same city who was also involved in
the Sinclair free speech case and who
told the noted author "you can't
stand here and hand me that constitu-
ton stuff. Judging from such state
ments on the part of those who are
elected to defend constitutional guar
antees, does it not seem advisable to
begin teaching the Constitution from
the top down? And if so, how is the
task to be accomplished?
ut would also be interesting tC
know how you are going to teach re-
spect for the Constitution to the Chief
of Police of Martins Ferry, Ohio, who
recently refused James P. Cannon per.
mission to speak there on Russia
When told that his arbitrary actor
was Gin violation of the Constitution
he replied Gail right, if that's the case
it is sure going to be violated. By
God, this is the United States, anC
you can't have no meeting here" Oh

lean citizens, to scpeak in that tow

litical party, stating that he would

WHEAT GAMBLERS

CHICAGO. - "For years every
wheat grower has been regularly vic
timized and our great milling industry
upset by the bear raids by May
squeezes,' by vicious short selling on
a huge scale at the hands of big man.
ipulators who virtually have been in
control of the Chicago board of trade
and have used it unscrupulously to
accomplish their ends" said Senator
Capper of Kansas at the opening con-
ference in this city.
Half a dozen grain gamblers, he
said pOcketed something like $4,000
600 i'm "a hours, in the MAY squeeze"
of a year ago, which was more than
all the farmers of Kansas made out
of their 1922 crop.
Continuing, he said:
Federal regulations to prohibit
market manipulation as provided in
the Capper-Tmcher law, recently sus-
tanned by the supreme court ,undOUbt-
edly were necessary. This law does
not in any way restrict the market
except to eliminate the vicious gamb-
ling and the violent fluctuations in
prices brought about by the gamb-
ling evil The drop of 40 cents q
bushel in the famous May squeeze a
year ago was accomplished by this
gambling and market manipulating
element"
In a moment, John R. Mauff, eXecu-
tive vice president Chicago board OF
trade, was on his feet branding Cap
per's utterances as loose allegations
and threatening that the boards at
torney would see if legal action could
be taken against the senator.
Another furry occurred when Ben
jamin c. Marsh of the Farmers Ma
tional council, Washington, D. c., said
"The farmers know what they
want. Let US quit dealing with the
politicians and profteers. If we do
not get something practical done by

The measures to be initiated are:
Mines license tax, hydro-electric Ii
cense tax, railroad license tax, tele-
phone and telegraph license tax.
A new worlmen's compensation act
will include compensation for voca-

Montana gasoline was for sale in Wis
