Our Washington Letter

"reactionary," conservative, "pro-
gressive," ''liberal" and radical
are banded about without regard to
their true significance. The exact
shading of these words are naturally
susceptible to debate, depending
largely upon the sentiment current
at the time. There are also numer-
Gus disputes as to the standards Of
valuation as the terms "conserva-
tism" and "radicalism" are regarded
as relative.
1t is customary with political writ
ers to regard Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts,, as an outstanding ex-
ample of reactionary or an ex-
treme conservative in the Republi-
can camp. This opinion is founded
upon the assumption by his oppon-
ents that the Massachusetts Senator
is attached to political plans based
on archaic thought. On the other
hand. there are some who modify
their classification and include SEN
ator as typical conservative. SEN
athor Borah, of Idaho, is known as
a liberal, while Senator LaFollette is
catalogued as a former progressive
who has extended his activities on a
broader stage, it is said, deserving
of the term radical" Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska, is generally taken
as a progressive Republican; Senator
Simmons, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, and senate leader, is tagged
as a conservative, while Senator

ROSS SHAVER RESIGNS
GOES TO BIG TIMBER

Ross f. Shaver has resigned his
connection with The Wolf Point
Herald and will leave Saturday even
ing for Big Timber, where he will be
head of the mechanical department
of new weekly about to start. Mrs.
Shaver and the children will remain
in Wolf Point until the close of the
school year.
The Herald's relations with Mr..
Shaver have been very pleasant and
he has proven himself to be a printer
of high ability. AS job printer and
especially as an ad builder he has
few peers in the state. He has also
become proficient on the linotype.
The new paper at Big Timber will
have the advantage of starting out
with a high class mechanical man.
Ross has made many friends in Wolf
Point who will be sorry to have him
go, but who will be glad to know of
his advancement.

PROPER ATTENTION
BRINGS BETTER FLAX

With decided increase in flax
acreage planned for this year there
are a few things which should re
ceive considerable attention from
the flax growers. From the present
moisture and general weather con-
ditions it seems as though flax should
be a good crop this year, and as it
is a good price there is quite apt to
be flax seeded without giving enough
thought to the conditions conductive
to good flax yields.
The two things which must be
watched this spring are the weeds
and the grasshoppers. The land
should be free of weeds and under
control when the flax is seeded as
flax is slow growing plant for the
first six weeks. The grasshoppers are
very destructive through the entire
but they are apt to work on
he flax in the late summer after
other crops have been ripened and
he flax is still green. The hoppers
,rawl up the flax stalk and cut off
he pods which, after falling to the
ground, cannot be gathered. This
las caused a large decrease in the
Fields of flax in several sections the
asst few years.

WHERE THE NORTH
BEGINS" EXCITING
RINTINTIN, FAMED POLICE DOG,
HAS IMPORTANT ROLE -
ALMOST HUMAN

After five men, sent out from a
Hudson Bay trading post with fur
loads, have failed to return, Shad
Galloway, the finty factor, offers
five hundred dollars to the man MAX
ing the trip; and Gabrielle Dupre,
the young trapper, accepts, knowing
death stalks him.
From this exciting situation starts
the absorbing action of "Where the
North Begins" pictureplay of the
far north, set in the desolate wastes
of snow where men obey their i'm
pulses, undeterred by laws of right
and wrong. This picture comes to
the Liberty theatre for two days be-
ginning Thursday.
Galloway is brawny brute of a
man brooking no interference; he
has set his desires on Felice McTavish
who lives in the post. Finding the
girl loves and is loved by Gabrielle,
he plots to get the latter out of the
way. A gang of outlaws proves his
instrument.
Rintintin, the almost human po-
lice dag, is the center of interest in
this Warner Brothers classic of the
screen. Around him are grouped
the following cast of players: Claire
Adams, Walter McGrail, Pat Harti-
gan, Myrtle Owen, Charles Stevens
and Fred Huntley.

Classifying Statesmen
Very Particular Job

Washington, April 15.-Two in
teresting developments of the week
the results of primaries in various
states, and the seating of Sol Bloom
a Democrat, whose election was con-
tested, have brought out in sharp re-
lief the question Of properly cata-
loging candidates for office. 1t is
said that in ordinary campaign years
there are one hundred sharply con-
tested congressional districts but the
factional conflict which now pre-
walls has upset the calculations of
the leaders of the majority parties.
Those charged with the responsible
ity of conducting the presidential
and congressional campaigns are
deeply concerned over the tendency
to forget public loyalty in which the
"herd" instinct has been a predomi-
nent factor in partisan victories.

Interviews with campaign mana
gers identified with all parties show
that it is becoming necessary to

political views of the various incum-

is at hand The claims were made

5 LEAVITT BILLS
MAKING PROGRESS
FORT KEOGH BILL UP TO PRESI-
DENT - LAND DISPUTE
INDIAN TUITION

Washington, April Establish
ment of a $4,000 acre stock raising
experiment farm on the abandoned
Fort Keogh reservation near Miles
City is provided for in one of Con-
gresham Scott Leavitt's five bills
that passed the house this week. The
land is transferred to the Depart
ment of Agriculture for this pur-
pose. The proposal had the endorse
ment of Secretary Wallace and the
stockmen of Montana and other
states of the west interested in work
ing out the problems of the range
country.
One of these bills proposes an
adjustment of conflicting rights to
patented homestead lands in town
ship 16 north ranges 80 and 33 east
in Fergus and Garfield counties. This
was brought about by re-
made after land had been
taken up on the basis of an earlier
that is now disregarded. The
bill provides for the issuance of pat
ents by the secretary of the interior
to entrymen in such amounts as will
make the sum of their holdings total
what their original entries were be-
lieved to contain. About 700 acres
will be taken to do this.
A school tuition bill that now goes
to the Senate for consideration
would allow the secretary of the in
5erior to pay what he considered just
claims for Indian children tuition in
public schools for the years 1922 and
1923, not covered by contract. This
measure is intended to take care oN
/ situation that exists on the Fort
Peck, Fort Belknap and Flathead |
Other measures of considerable
interest at Miles City provide for
he conveyance of comparatively |
mall tracts of the Fort Keogh res
rvation for use as a city park and
he other as a county fair ground.
7he three Keogh bills have passed
enate, and now go to the president
or his signature.

Mrs. J. S. Bruner, district club

evening, and reports an excellent
meeting and delightful entertain

meeting of the club, which was held
at the Gateway hotel, was preceded
by a dinner at which were present
the club presidents, present, past and
incoming. An interesting program
was given and Mrs. Bruner presen-
ted the subject of the county organ
ization and pointed out the greater
usefulness of the clubs which might
