LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE
OF THE SECRET DRAWER
<rnNTI

After Ruth left me, rather be-
gan to wonder why she had told me
SO freely her life's tragedy. You and
], little Marquise, know that women
seldom confess to other women that
their husbands are what men call
dshonorable. There is another def
milton for them when men mistreat
women. III
Ruth made it very plain by hef il
Illustrations with the Seventh land
Eight Commandments. "A nj a n
treats the breaking Of the Seventh
Commandment as joke. To the wo-
, man it always spells tragedy.
A woman hates to confess that, her
husband is something disreputabiesin
the eyes of other men. Because l
was woman / knew how hard it
would be for Ruth to say this about
her husband and knew that she had
some peculiar motive in doing so.
All at once what Jack had told me
after returning from the visit to Nsw
York with Harry Ellington came Is
my mind. II am sitting on the rim
of the world" he had said and how
he had alternately been in the high
est and lowest of spirits ever since.
"Jack is dabbling in Stocks" said
to myself, "and that is why he want
ed the baby's five hundred dollars.
He is doing this through Harry Ell
lington and Ruth, poor girl, has
swallowed her pride to tell me. She
cares enough for me to warn Jack
| through me-"
could hardly wait until Jack
j came home to ask him about it and
when did, he answered .rutfly,
who's been telling you anything o.
But you know, dear, if Mr.. Bull
lock finds out that you have been
buying stocks on margin, I am al
most sure he will discharge you."

It was so loud that the Twins clap
ped their hands over their ears and
Mister Dodger made r. wry face.
"Hee, haw! Hee, haw!" it went
over and over again.
And there stood Dummy Donkey,
grinning like ,Chessy Cat. "I've
got you all beat!" he brayed, laugh
ing till he showed his teeth. "1've~
got the finest voice in Squealy-Moo
Land and dare anybody to say I
haven't.
!, The ducks waggled their tails and
waddled off to the pond without an,
swering.
The chickens all started to dig for
worms!
The turkeys, marched off and SO
did the geese. II as
+ Billy Goat and Mister Sheep and
all the pigs disappeared and Missez
Cow and Crazy Calf switched their
tails and went off for a drink.
Nobody said word.
Just then Farmer Brown came
along "Get out!" he yelled GROSSLY.
You're the only one Of all my farm
creatures who won't work for his
living. You won't even pull my cart
without baking. You're, all voice
and no brains. just like lot Of pec-
pie know"
Dummy Donkey looked foolish and
trotted away. But Mister Dodger
and the Twins heard him say to him
self: II suppose I'll have to start to
work if want my board and keep
II Farmer Brown bitches me UP to-
morrow, / won't balk Nonce."

WALL STREET UNAFRAID

Senator Magnus Johnson descended upon New York
few days ago One imagine the curiosity perhaps the
trembling fear with which Wall street awaited the visit OF
the political thunderbolt from Minnesota.
But if Wall street surprised when Magnus was
elected it must have been surprised when he made his
first speech in the great city. For that called
Wa organs find that Magnus isn't half as red as
he painted that he has many good quaesthe organs
even go far to extend hand of welcome to Magnus
The lily handed paror socialists of New York went out
to welcome the conquerer with open And behold
Magnus first pronouncement that he not radical
He declared he for constitutional government He as
serted his opposition to ownership of railroads
Some of the views of Senator johnson appear to be
icng One began to suspect that Magnus was somewhat
of politician when he swamped Governor Preus in Mime
sofa is we'll nigh convinced when Magnus descend
on Wall street and receive friendly nod he leaves.

CAN 1T BE DONE?

Proponents of state industriaism often maintain that
the engage in business with the same degree
of success private institution, with officials and en-
giving the OF service and without TN;
weakening influence of political considerations They main
tain this spite Of of examples to the contrary
Consider the state mill at Grand Forks.
" A. and Nonpartsans alike have united at times IN
pledpnp support to the institution, absolutely
business basis and without political considerations.
The manager Of the mill had opportunity to purchase
some Canadian wheat at price that would enable him to
make profit his location being favorable for cheap pur-
chase of the grain Of course repugnant to North Da
kotans that grain should be bought in Canada Yet the
manager of mill declared good business and ne
was there make the business He must cease the
practice.
state law requires the state board of administration
to- purchase supplies competitive bid 1t has done So 1t
purchased flour for the state insane hospital at Jamestown
let the contract to the lowest bidder which private
flour milling concern which bid under the state mill.
This practice is assaied by political opponents of the
administration stopped before an attack
was made board of administration members declare has
always considered good business for the to buy
from low bidder and is the law. The private mill at
Jamestown which pays taxes cannot sell flour to the state
The examples noteworthy in that they point out
the difficulty of conducting the stateowned mill on purely
business basis and without regard to politics.

IN DESPAIR

The attempt to obtain cheap energy by unlocking the
vast power contained in the atom, is practically futile
cording leading English scientist He virtually throws
20 years to release the energy in the atom, and
nearer to success than when they started.
Shucks! That's for becoming discouraged.
Twenty years nothing in the long history of humanity
Why the crude principle of the steam known 1000
years ago. Yet not until about $50 years thai
the steam engine made practical disable device
All Of understand the discouraged English scier
tst 1t human nature to become impatient and discour
aged during the battle for successwhch nearly always is
slow battle *'s
For all know, may be on the very verge of dis
covering harness the atoms terrific power Such
great discoveries nearly always the result of accident
bunder And accident like lightning it comes unexpec
edly cannot be foreseen.
It should be remembered that the seemingly impossible
discoveries made at unexpected moments While the
world joking about arpanes and predicting that they
impossible the Wright brothers suddenly made the
first trip It with the auto.
Nature demands her price, payment in full, for
thing she gives crop isn't matured to harvest
night 1t requires time, patience effort And, the
age the farmer gets from his work than he puts
into it.
The ability to harness the atoms power would be worth
thousands years of research We can't expect nature
her until have abored enough to deserve it,
Trouble is humanity expects too muchwants its pay be-
fore the job is finished.

Bitter Root-f they saw it growing.
During the last two or three years The Independent has had
scores OF requests from school teachers and others Tor pictures OF
the Montana state flower. These came largely from the eastern
part OF the state wnere the Bitter Root IS not known and does not
grow as 1T does in the mountains and valleys of western Montana.
To meet this demand The Independent secured through the
National Geographic Society, permission 10 reproduce from Its
files, a beautiful picture in colors of the Montana state flower.
Color plates were secured and several thousand prints made for
those who want them for school room or home These prints are
botanicany perfect, being first drawn and painted in color for the
National Geographic Magazine, then printed by the society and
from this authentic print The Independent reproduced IN its own
printing department pictures Of the Montana state flower just as
perfect as the original.
These prints were first used in the Christmas Greeting of The
Independent paper carriers, mounted on a calendar suitable for
hanging in home or school room. AS long as these last they viii be
mailed without cost to any school teacher IN Montana Extra
prints of the flower may also be secured by those who desire them.
The print itself is copyrighted and must not be reproduced without
permission OF the National Geographic Society.
The publication Of these pictures brings to mind the fact that
the Montana State Flower should be more widely distributed in
the state and a campaign made to preserve the flower in western
dug up and destroyed every year and one of these days the prints
published BY The Independent will be about all we have to remind
US of this emblem OF our state unless an; organized effort is made
to preserve the plants.
California has Q society which educates the children to pre-
serve the state flower and to plant the poppy seeds at every oppor-
tunity. The superintendent of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco
gives away thousands of packages of California poppy seed each
year, and picnic parties carry them far and wide until there is
hardly a township in the state which does not have a field of these
beautiful orange colored peoples,
The Bitter Root is more difficult to distribute, but our Agri-
ern Montana for transplanting, a large quantity of the roots of our
State Flower. 1t would make a useful and interesting
vacation next summer for some tired instructors and enterprising
stndsaes-Eeienaf Independent.

BORING r o WITHIN.

Under the caption Weasel Politics" Will Payne, the well
known astute political writer, discusses present political mixups in
a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
Mr.. Payneis discussion of the question is forceful and enight-
ening in that his paper presents the attitude of the various groups
or blocs in a comparison that is startlingly lucid. If football play
ers, for instance, should show such distoyaly they would be
mobbed by the spectators of the game or be buried under a great
weight of public denunciation.
He calls attention to the fact that in the election of 1920 the
own banner, cast just $50 votes in the United States. In less than
a month thereafter LaFolette, who was elected as a straight re-
publican, organized a bloc, and he has repeated the same maneuver
since the election of 1922.
The object of LaFollette's organization is to bore from within
and especially to bore the republican party and bring all efforts
for concerted action to naught.
Montana voters are reminded that Burton X. Wheeler jour
neyed all the way to Washington to align himself with LaFolettes
crowd. The Great Falls Tribune, which supported Wheeler bindly
seems to be a little bit peeved over Wheelers action in so doing
None of Wheelers democratic newspaper supporters, however,
have mentioned the fact that their idol also attended the big meet
ing at Cleveland, Ohio, a few days after consorting with theLaFol-
lette crowd. At Cleveland he Joined hands with Victor Berger and
other notabls.
BIT the Tribune has no reason to be peeved at Mr.. Wheeler.
He was elected by Montana voters without being required by them
to give a single pledge or promise as to what he stood for.
Soon after the votes were counted he made his first announce
ment ~ to his views on one policy of economics and that was to
the effect that he favored ownership of railroads. Later on he
employed that distinguished socialist, Richard Haste, to act as his
all the old line democrats, the constructive brand of democrats,
foam at the mouth, but they had no consistent reason for allowing
their emotions to thus be disturbed for Wheeler is q free lance
They shut their eyes and voted for him, trusting to luck.
That Wheeler may be depended upon to assist LaFouette in
his work a boring from within" they now begin to fear. They
have just started to recover from the fit of emotional insanity
which struck them about November LIST, last.-Lewistown Argus.
