GOVERNOR John" M. DIXON

Under the caption of Spring Styles in Presl-
dents" Frederick L. Collins an alleged political
writer, splashes around over two pages OF Col
Tiers, of the issue of April 26.
Mr. Collins has made the startling discovery
that there is strong political affinity existing be-
tween the states of Wisconsin and Montana-as
Wisconsin goes, so goes Montana, he says.
He also says that there is no party spirit in
Montana and makes the direct charge that our
esteemed governor is las about as good party
man as near beer is to good beer"
We copy paragraph of Mr. Collins splash.
Note the first name he has bestowed upon Mon
tana's governor:
Montana is also set and ready to go. She still
talks the language of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, but when she gets ballot in her hands she
votes as she darn pleases Her Mr.. Walsh, whom
she sends to Washington to please the customers
with oil Investigations, is Democrat, but he isn't
such good Democrat that he objects to leaving
little smell on Mr. McAdoo and Mr.. Doheny. And
her Mr. Dixon, the supposedly Republican COVER
nor of Montana and the leading factor in Helena
political society, is our old friend, John M Dixon
Iof Bull Moose fame Just now there's some talk
of tooling John M. down to Washington to deodo-
lrize the Cabinet-or what's left of it after Mr..
Walsh gets through with it. Montana people
would have a good laugh at the picture of their
John in Cal Coolidges back office. For John Dix
on of Montana is about as good party man as
near-beer is good beer And Montana is just
about that kind of an old party State"
You should read Collins fairy story in its en-
tirety 1t will convince you that he is just about
as nearly correct in his estimate of party politics
in Montana as he is in correctly quoting the gov
ernor's given name.

Paine Helped Create
and Named the u. S. A.

To the average American Thomas
Paine is known merely as an "infidsl"
He has been told that Paine wrote y
book entitled "Age of Reason" that a.
sailed orthodox Christianity. Me may
not know that two decades before the
sage of Reason" Paine, native OF
England, wrote pamphlet that started
the American colonists really to think
of separating themselves from Eng
land and joining themselves togethe&
as new nation, says the Detroit
News. When the revolution first start
ed 1t was only revolt against oppres-
sive measures Of taxation and unjust
political discrimination. Even Wash
ington as late as May, 1775. declared
himself against separation
Then. early in January, 1776, Paine
published Common Sense" In which
he not merely proposed an Independent
nation to the dissatisfied coionists, but
raised the rebellion to the higher
plane of a war for liberty. Washington
was converted Immediately. Paine de-
clined to accept any profit from the
work for himself. but gave all the
financial proceeds to the patriot cause.
It was In Common Sense" that the
present name Of the nation. "the
United States OF America" first ap-
peared.

M. Loquin. former president OF the
Academic de Bordeaux, holds that the
man in the iron mask was none other
than Moliere. whose disappearance the
Jesuits were supposed 10 have urged
the king to compass after the great
triumph Of "Tartuffe."
'Moliere." says this learned man,
"dled February II. 1878; the captivity
of the man In the iron mask lasted 81
years. from February. 1878, TO Novem-
Der. 17O3.~
The significant silence that prevailed
once Moliere was regarded as dead and
buried, the foul ISLANDERS that were
sp-ead abroad shortly afterward and.

posthumous works and the strange
disappearance Of every single line OF
his writing point to sinister object.

ANTEDOTE FOR GARRETTS STUFF

Now comes John E. Pickett in the Country Gen
tlemen with an article which gives MHontana a
decent showing, and which will no doubt act as a
partial antidote to the poisonous stuff which Gar
ct Garrett printed about this state in his first ar
tice in the Saturday Evening Post
CARROTS second article was much better than
his first and contained lot of truth about over
financing of farmers and the general trend to-
ward extravaganza and lack of energy on the part
of farmers to farm as farming should be done
The first article only dealt Montana black eye
inasmuch as Mr.. Garrett picked out the poorest
spot in the state from which to draw his industrial
deductions. Commercial bodies and the railroads
are going to take steps to cure the harm done BY
this article as far as possible.
But Mr.. Pcketts article in the Country Gentle
man is one which there can be no complaint about.
He heads his article, Bargain Day in Montana
Boom is Overhead Farmers Welcome" and his
opening paragraph reads this way
Its bargain day in Montana Land, horses,
buildings, implements, fencing material What
will you The price is low. Not since homestead
days when the land boomer tuned up his Tyre and
sung his song of the new glory land with the
catchy chorus, Get free home in the West has
land been SO cheap. Doubtless it will never be SO
cheap again, for this newest and most accessible
through the longest and most severe drought in
OF our agricultural frontiers has just come
It's recorded history with great many of it's
farms foreclosed or Abandoned third of its
banks closed land values peeled down to around
first-mortgage levels, and with cash in a position
to talk and be listened to as never before"
4 Mr.. Picket then goes on to enumerate some of
the wonderful land bargains which may be picked
up now and made to pay if farmed as it should be
farmed He even finds some mighty good things
in the famous Triangle" which section of the
state Mr. Garrett dwelt upon so dolefully
t(r1f Yc+x ILL r.
fully appreciate it. Space prevents us from Civ
ing it more extended comment here. Every
news paper and every other Montana publication
should copy it in full

Proper Brewins Of Tea
Told by Chinese Poet

High tea would have been deemed
an abomination by the Chinese poet Lu
wuh, who held that no food should be
taken In conjunction with the most de-
licious of all beverages Lu Wuh
maintained that only three ingredients
are necessary for its decoctlon-tea,
water and salt-but each should be
selected with care
THE leaves of the tea plant must
have creases like the leathern boot OF
4 Tartar horseman, must curl like the
dswlap Of mighty bullock; must I'M
fold like the mist rising out of ra-
vine, must CLEAN like a lake touched
by zephyr; and be wet and soft like
nne earth newly swept by rain Ac-
cording to this authority a mountain
spring furnished the best water for
tea making, with river water and or,
binary spring water next In order q
excellence
"There are three stages of boiling4
Lu Wuh goes on to say. THE mr.
boil is when the little bubbles like thy
eye of fishes swim on the surface
The second boil is when the bubbles
are like crystal beads rolling in foun-
tain. The third boil Is when the bill
lows surge wildly In the kettle"
Salt is put In the first boil, tea in
the second boil; at the third dipper-
full of cold water is poured into the
kettle TO settle the tea and revive THE
youth of the water" after which the
decoction is poured into cups and
drunk.--Manchester Guardian.

Novels in a Nutshell

Much has been written In criticism
of English, French and Russian novels.
but never have their essential natures
been so crisply described as In those
paragraphs Of anonymous origin:
An English novel Is book in which
two people want each other In the first
chapter. but do not get each other un-
Ill the last chapter.
A French novel Is book in which
two people get each other right in the
first chapter and from then on TO the
last chapter don't want each other any
more.
A Russian novel is one In which two
people neither want each other nor get
each other, and round that fact 450
profoundly melancholy pages are writ
ten.--Youth's Companion.

these newspapers do not tell the truth as they
must know it. The investigation in Washington
is nothing more than process of embarrassing"
Mr. Wheeler His real trial will be in Montana,
where "impounced" evidence will be brought out
by District Attorney Slattery, and it is this that
Mr. Wheeler and his friends are afraid
1t is also surprising how the Democrats are tax
ing unto their bosom the nest of radicals in Con-
gress They would, apparently form an aliancel
with the devil in order to secure power.
These radicals, many of them elected under thel
NAME Republican, are no more Republicans than
an oil stock salesman is PadereWski They have
voted regularly with the Democrats wherever and
whenever there was an opportunity to swat the
regular Republicans, as witnessed by their action
in voting to seat Sol Bloom, of the 18th New York
district Democrat whom the Committee on
Elections reported had received majority of 191
over Chandler, Republican, through the most
glazing and despcable frauds The frauds were
fully proven but the SO called regular Democrats,
aided by the radical bloc, seated Bloom
This is only one instance where the LaFollette
crowd have shown their hand And the worst is
yet to come.
Writing in the National Republican Albert
Laidaw says that the big hope of the radical bloc
and its gratitating forces is to block the election
at the polls, this fall, of either Republican or
Democratic candidate for the Presidency, to
throw that election into the House OF Representa-
tives, there exercise their balance of power"
control to dictate the terms upon which they will
yield their support to make the election of Pres-
dent possible.
In speech, several days ago, former Attorney
General Daugherty said: "The enemy is at the
gate" Itlooks very much as if the enemy was not
only at the gate but also was filling the yard and
the entire house, and If the LaFollettes and
Wheelers have their way, will very soon attempt
to gain position where they can give us the real
soviet form of government which they studied so
carefully last year, when they were the guests of
Messers Trotsky and Lenine.

is SHELLY BOOSTING LAFOLLETTE?

The Carbon County Chronicle is very reliably
informed that the mysterious Progressive,
whom the Shelley candidates for delegates to the
Republican convention wish to declare for on the
the presidential primary ticket is none other than
the king of radical senators, Lafollette, of Wis
consin.
Four years ago Mr.. Shelley ran in bunch of in
dividuas and secured their election as delegates
to the Chicago convention through the iniquities
of the then existing laws. He chose for his bunch
persons whose names began with the first letters
of the alphabet, which placed them at the head of
the ticket This position on the ticket is classed as
having about 80 per cent advantage over those
lower down. The law now provides that the
names shall rotate every Is tickets, viz that the
top name on each ticket goes to the bottom after
each rs impressions have been made by the print
err, hence an A. B. C. scheme has no advantage
now.
Wedo not believe there is much LaFollette sent
iment in Montana, outside of railroad circles, per-
haps The railroad brotherhood leaders are for
Lafollette for the reason that gentleman wants
to turn the railroads over to government manage
ment, Notwithstanding he declares that all gov
ernmental business is now being done most in
efficiently And yet he would add another big
burden to it's regular work Mr.. Lafollette also
wishes to deprive the Supreme court of the United
States of its power, which would be still great
er national calamity than government ownership
of the railroads.
: Shelley was apparently afraid to name his
man when he hand picked his delegates. Straight
true blue Republicans want none of Shelley or his
bunch of unknowns to represent them in the
Cleveland convention. To be sure there is no
doubt of President Coolidge's nomination but
Montana does not care to rest under the stain of
having sent LaFollettes delegation to the conven-
ton, we honestly believe.
For the information of regular Republicans The
Chronicle appends herewith list of Sheley's can
didates:
At Large-E P. Dirmeyer, county surveyor of
Mineral county; Arthur P. Fox, farm bureau Of
ficer of Flathead county; Ben F. Ford, teamster
of Helena; George 0. Freeman, abstractor of Hell
ena Vaugn L. Gardner, garage man of Missoula;
Grace Gardner, bookkeeper of Butte; w F, Greu-
sci, insurance man of Billings.
First District-Howard A. johnson, county at
torney, Boulder; William j. Jones, stationary en-
gineer of Anaconda
Second District, eastern Montana) Herbert
R. Campbell, brakeman, Great Falls; Hugh N
Jones, railroad fireman, Great Falls.
It is reported that Mr. Shelley also has some OF
his own picked candidates. who filed singly, scat
tered among the list of regular Republicans. II
therefore behooves all straight Republicans to as
certain just who is who on the ticket, and vote &C
cordingly. We don't believe they care to be trick
ed as they were four years ago.
