ALL THINGS CONSIDERED

ALL GlANG0 GONS IDENlaO
This life is queer
And full of doubt,
We're never clear
What it's about.
And though we try
To grow more knowing,
we can't dope why
Or where we're going.
We work and strive
To get the kale,
Some Of us thrive,
Most of us fail.
A few can ride,
The rest must hike it,
This life's a snide
And yet we like it.
The just man starves
Quite often, while
The unjust carves
A steak in style.
Luck goes and comes
To saints and sinners,
Makes some folks buns
And others winners.
Life is mess
OF varied passions,
As hard to guess
As women's fashions.
For joy we ache
But seldom strike it,
Life is a fake
And yet we like it.
DR.. Z. L. Thurman.

Crime of Killing Robert Franks
Judge Will Sentence.

After sensational disclosures and
confessions and denials, Richard Loeb
and Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., plead
guilty to the crime of numbering
Robert Franks, a 13-year-Old boy,
last Monday.
The attorneys for the accused
youths advised their clients to plead
guilty as public sentiment had been
aroused and the fact that the boys
were sons Of mIllionaires and general
sentiment was that their wealthy par
ents would secure their freedom by
spending huge sums cf money for
their defense.
The hideous crime of numbering
a lad 13 years old by these two boys
aged 19 and 20 has aroused the ire
of the whole nation and what penalty

mUrderers will be watched with great

LABOR
CONVENTION IN
DANIELS COUNTY

Last Wednesday, July 23rd, the
Daniels County Farmer-Labor con-
vention met in the court room in
Daniels County and endorsed a set
of candidates for county offices.
The delegates unanimously declar-
ed for Farmer-Labor party and an
nOCnced themselves as solidly behind
their endorsed candidates. They felt
particularly bitter against AL. Lawr-
ence and John Nyquist, whom as
they termed it, they had looked up
on for guidance and leadership, but
who have deserted them at a time
when they needed their leadership in
the new Farmer-Labor party. The
delegates declared that they are de-
termined to eliminate them from
politics and place them in the politi-
cal bcne-yard where they belong.
Both Lawrence and Nyquist fell in
love with their county pie-ticket
some time ago and announced that
they would rather run on the Re-
publican ticket and support Coolidge
Dawes and the old gang in Daniels
county than to stand by the farmers
and the workers who elected them
Both Nyquist and Lawrence, al
hough they are well up in years, have
not yet outgrown the indecision, fc
kleness and the horror Of the bogey
man incident to childhood. Tn,
feared bogey-man is Bully Bowler

CONGRESSMAN SCOTT
.LEAVTTT DUMB ABOUT
WHEAT TARIFF CHEAT

Congressman Scott Leavitt has
returned from Washington, says
Joe Kirschwing, candidate for the
democratic nomination for Con-
gress in the Second district.
He is hoped up with interest
* in good roads for tourists. While
he was in Washington he was
dumb as a clam about good prices
fer Montana hard wheat.
When he left Montana for
Washington last fall the bottom
had dropped out of the market
for Montana hard wheat, it was
being marketed at loss to the
= growers of not less than so cents
x per bushel. If he was fit to rep
= resent this district-the greatest
* hard wheat growing district in
= the country-he knew that the
* milling rebate clause in the al
: legged wheat tariff law (passed by
= Republican Congress) was
x cheating Montana farmers out of
80 cents per bushel protection
which that fraudulent law pre-
tended to give.
Did he introduce bill and re-
peal the joker? He did not!
What did he have to say about
this fraud that cheated the Mon
tana farmers out of more than
twelve million 3ollars on last
years wheat crop? Precisely
nothing at all. What has he got
to- say about his desertion of the
= men, women and children of the
wheat farms of this district :?
Again, nothing at all. He has
much to say about good roads
but Of what use are good roads
when farmers have to haul wheat
to BAD markets? Precisely none
at all.
