VIM Davis D,sturbs Them

-HE candidacy of John w. Davis be-
comes more. and more disquietng to
keen Republican observers They see
that the Democratic nominees poise and
judgment appeal to the country's business
instinct, while his beradth of thought and
of sympathy runs true to its liberal ideals.
Americans who are distrustful alike of the
reactionism of Coolidge and the radicalism
of La Toilette will turn to the sound pro-
gressiveness of Davis.
Touching the recent decision of White
House conference that the Republican bid
should be to business" upon the ground
that the interests of all would be imperilled
by power in the hands of extremists, the Co
lumbia Record dryly remarks "That is all
right, of course, but the voters are not nee
essarily going to turn from La Toilette to
Coolidge. They have had a valuable object
lesson in the Coolidge machine in Washing
ton. They are not going to march that way.
:. Mr. Davis is a business platform all by
himself. That is disturbing factor to the
Republicans, who know that he is going to
emphasize that all over the land and ask
the people whether they prefer sane and
safe new deal. or a return to an administra-
tion as hopelessy divided sthis one is, with
a President pulling one way and Congress
pulling another" Those who are concerned
that the country shall have leadership which
can lead and shall have a positive, not mere
ly a negative, business security, will do well
ot consider the candidate and the cause of
Democracy.
Moreover, with John w. Davis at the
helm, America would cease to stand still
She would so forward in the domestic mat
ters of government, to the grief of privilege
seekers and to the terror of political corrup-
tionists but to the advantage of the rank and
file. She would also escape from the dol
drums in which for the last three and half
years her foreign policy has stuck Citizens
who looks forward instead of backward and
who would have their nation constructive
rather than stationary can but be drawn to
Democracys leader.

really see? B. +.
A. Richard M. Smith, MD, Assistant in
Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, says that
the baby does not see very much at birth,

What You Owe Your Children
By DR.. Frank Crane

. IT, YOU owe your children is to equip
n them properly for life. You owe them
= = that they be born with sound, undiseased
bodies; that they be trained in habits that
keep one healthy. You owe them such an
education as shall put at their service the
accumulated knowledge of the world. You
owe them thorough grounding in moral
principles You owe them your loyal love
and friendship. That is all.
You do not owe them any money You are
under no obligation to lap up fortune for
them. 1t is much better to use your money
yourself than to burden them with it,
All our desire to endow our children springs
from the superstition, deeply rooted in the
world, that to be released from the necessity
of labor is a source of happiness. The con-
trary is true.
The greatest, surest condition for happiness
is to be so situated that we have to conquer
difficulties and make our own way in the
world There is no contentment to be COM
pared with that which arises from securing
the desired goods of life by our own efforts.
The purest human joy is responsibility intelli'
gently assumed
To deprive our offspring of this privilege
is to do him the greatest wrong. To leave
him enough money so that he does not have
to work is to do him the deepest injustice.
No one EXCEPT a defective person, who can
not work, should be placed above want.
The labOrlng classes nave attacked the
capitalist classes on the ground that the la
borer is wronged treated unjustly in the dis
tribution of property. But it is the endowed
class that is wronged. They are robbed, by
our economic system, Of the first necessity of
healthy personality, to wit, gaining wages
by effort
Edmond Demolins defines happiness as "the
state of satisfaction engendered by success in
surrounding the material and moral diff
culties of life"
And this is but restatement of Holy Writ:
ITO him that overcometh will | give power;
and I will give him the morning star"
Giving an inheritance Of money to ones
child is lazy way of avoiding the hard
work of giving him character and real life
equipment
The trouble with us is that our idea of
happiness is false, cheap, and nasty. We
think happiness means idleness, exclusiveness
privilege over our fellows, luxury, indulgence
and being waited upon.
1t is an idea inherited from centuries of
rotten mon rchic and aristocratic deusion.
Accumulated riches is the salvation Of the
state, it is the ruin of the individual. The
collective works of man need capital. All the
individual man needs is opportunity and
justice.
Every baby has right to a fair start with
every other baby. Every youth has right
to thorough education. No baby, youth
has a right to be weighted down with en-
dowed money.

DIVERSIFIED PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE.
(By Dan B. Noble, County Agricultural Agent)

(By Dan b.. Noble, county Agricultural Agent
Mos Of the farmers in Roosevelt county who had YER
good results with their wheat acreage this year but VIII
have been developing a diversified program are not going
to be misled by the unusual conditions Of 1924, but are go
inc to continue advancing their program. More of then
realize that the price of wheat this year is due to a de
creased acreage as well as the very unsatisfactory climatic
conditions in the other large wheat growing sections of the
world. That this condition may not happen again for g
long time and in knowing this to be a fact they are not 60
ing to let UP on their acreage of corn, their development in
dairying on a small scale, their interest in raising sheep and
beef cattle.
In a general survey of Roosevelt county it has been
found that the largest percentage of farmers, who have
made money and who have faTmed on q profitable basis
for the last few years, are farmers who have a good acre
age of either corn or summer following. Some prefer corr
and some summer fallOW enough to insure them q good
wheat yield regardless of climatic conditions. These same
farmers invariably produce most Of their living expenses
by milking or raising livestock on their farms. Most OF
said farmers take the attitude that all Of their living that is
produced on the farm and sold on their own table is one OF
the best business operations on the farm for the reason
that 3 or A dealers do not make q profit handling those pro
ducts. There is, however, the exception once and a while
Of wheat farmers cropping their land in wheat year aftel
year and making good money. But the history of all such
operations tells us that continuous wheat land will some
day break and it will have to be farmed at a loss.
That is the one reason why diversified programs, the de
velOpment into sheep, cattle and hogs has met with Sc
much approval in Roosevelt county, the fact demonstrated
that we are in the corn belt, increases our ability to divers
ify and is stablizing our agriculture to the very highest de
gree. With such successful programs and with such IN
usually good wheat crops this year a large number Of the
farmers are getting out Of debt. All banks in the county
are in excellent condition and most people here believe
that we are just entering an era of permanent, stable and
profitable agriculture.

Comradeship Declared Best
Help in Storms of Life.

Inc man much occupied with bust
ness may regard common sense as su.
premely important. An imaginative

kindness which, because so rare. is so
extraordinary, the sunshine of a
merry nature, the tender appeal of I'M

for happiness in marriage.
But what is the final test? Which of
all the varied characteristics of human
nature is, if developed and cherished,
most likely to bring enduring happi-
ness in marriage?
The answer is to be found in an OBJ
servation not Of very new marriages
but Of those which have known years
of storms, Of disappointments, of dis
Illusions. In happy marriages which
might so easily have been unhappy. is
IT not the power Of being companion
able which has kept husband and wife
together?
Marriages have often come to a
tragic end because the man and the
woman have not learned to be
friends. In a marriage where the joys
Of companionship have been incom-

marriage as such may lead to per-

there is real friendship, a happy COM

III AT

The great copper and power corporation tax dodgers OF
Montana are going far in this campaign to have their will
and avoid taxes that they should pay. The people of Mon
tana value education and the educational institutions, the
University of Montana and the public schools. But the
tax dodgers hold nothing sacred.
In their attack upon Governor Dixon this campaign,
based solely on the speciOus plea that he has spent too
much money on state institutions, they strike at education.
If they can have their way, if the people of the state are
deluded into voting for their candidate Erickson, for gov
ernor, the colleges and schools of Montana will be in the
greatest danger.
The interlocking press, all the newspapers that bow the
knee and do the bidding of the masters of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company and the Montana Power company
demand for those concerns, and in behalf of Erickson, that
state expenses be reduced.
The people of Montana should note that this demand
strikes solely and directly at the colleges of the state, the
units of the University of Montana. Not a cent was spent
by Dixon during his term upon any department Of the state
government, more than was spent by former Governor
Stewart during his term, except on the colleges.
1t is plain that the other institutions must be kept open
and supported, and that nothing can be taken from them;
they are all crowded and need enlargement rather than
curtailment. So if anything is shrunk it must be the col
leges and schools. This in direct opposition to the wishes
of the people of this state, who, it will be remembered,
voted S~5,OOO,OOO to buy new college buildings, and a spec
ial tax for the support of the colleges.

ANNA CATHERINE WITT

Anna Catherine Witt was born il
Fountain, Indiana, March II, 1914
She was married to William Greer
in October, 1862. Mr.. Green died al
the end of ten years after their
marriage. In 1872, March 3, the
widow was married to William H.
Witt.
They came to Montana in April,
1910, settling on a homestead south
of Poplar, which was a thriving
place at that time, and where her
two sons, Charles and Oral were at
that time, Harry and Delbert com
ing later. Leslie E. and William
Greedy passed away before the fam
lily came to Montana.
VIM. II. Witt died Dec. /, 1914.
The homestead is still the family
home and there her son, Charles,
resides. Besides the four o n there
are five grandchildren and one
great grand-child and a host Of old
friends to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Witt had been growing weak
er for several months but it was in
body only as her mind was clear up
to the past few weeks, which was
remarkable for one of her age
which was 80 years, 6 months and
% days. Grandma, as she was 81 4
by everybody was a real pioneer
woman, taking life in a cheerful way,
never repining for her eastern home
but making the best of the hardships
incident to a pioneers life. She will
long be remembered by those who
have been the recipient of her kind
deeds. She was called by the Master
on Friday, Oct. 10, at the dawning
of the morning. Funeral services
were conducted at the home Satur-
day at II o'clock by the Rev. Clar-
ence Orner of Poplar, and laid to
rest beside her husband in the Nick
wall cemetery. Her four sons, Oral,
Charles, Harry and Delbert and two
grandsons, Robert Witt and Harold
3owden, were pail bearers.
All hearts sympathize with the fam
ly in their bereavement.

FRANK ]. EDWARDS
FOR GOVERNOR

Frank J. Edwards, candidate for
Governor on the Farmer-Labor ticket
is probably one of the foremost fig
ures in the State. He has taken an
active part in state affairs for the
past thirty years and was five times
elected mayor of the city of Helena.
AS an executive, Frank Edwards is
by far the best equipped, best in
formed and the most able candidate
for governor in the present election.
Edwards, like Taylor and Anderson,
are the only candidates for their re-
spective offices who are supporting
LaFOllette fer president of the
United States.
The other state offices on the
Farmer-Labor ticket needs no intro
duction. All of them merit the sup
port of every progressive in the
State. A full farmer-labor set of Of
ficers at the State capital will do for
Montana what the Farmer-Labor Off
Gals have done for Sheridan County.
