PROGRESS ON WALSH
RESERVATION Bill

When Chas. D. Greenfield, agri-
cultural development agent with the
Great Northern Railway, while or a
visit to this country a few weeks ago
learned of the serious situation eX-
isting with some of the settlers on
the reservation, with reference to
delinquent land payments, he prom
ised to do whatever lay in his power
to have action by the land depart
ment deferred. Accordingly he took
up the matter with the Montana SEN
ators and congressman, or certain of
them.
MI. Greenfield has sent a copy of
a reply received from Senator Walsh
to Secretary Gordon Of the CONNER
cial club, which reads as follows:
Washington, March 9, 1924.
Chas. D. Greenfield,
Helena, Montana.
NV Dear Mr.. Greenfield:
] have delayed answering your
letter Of Feb. 16 until the committee
on Indian affairs of the senate could
receive a report from the secretary
of the interior upon my bill, a copy
of which is herewith enclosed. 1
take pleasure in advising you that
the secretary recommends the pass
age of the bill in the following
words:
"In view Of the long extended adj
verse climatic conditions IN the Fort
Peck reservation and the critical fl
n~ancial condition of a large number
of the entrymen, and the fact that
the Indians will be protected by the
payment of interest on deferred pay
ments, it is recommended that the
bill, or similar legislation, be en-
acted into law during the present
session of congress-"
Yours very truly,
T. J. Walsh.

MAKE MIDNIGHT MOON
ARREST ON PRAIRIE

On Monday, st. Patrick's Day late
in the evening, officers Nichol and
Bannister pulled off a rather spec
t~acular job in the line of enforce
ment duty. Acting on a bunch that
sleuths get sometimes they took Mr..
Bannister's car and went north Of
town a few miles. In the darkness
they made out the shape of another
a near a spot where they had ex-
pected to find it.
Following the other car, after it
started for town, the cops ran up
along side of it, stopped and boarded
it. The running scrap hat ensued
in the car and out across the prairie
was stubborn and lively, but ended
in victory for the minions of the law.
The car proved to be occupied by
j. w. Fishback and his wife and a
quantity of moon, some of which
Fishback succeeded in emptying or
smashing before he was overpowered
Brought into Judge Gordon's court
Tuesday morning, represented by
Marion & Foor, the defendant plead
ed not guilty. Erick Noun appear
ed for the state. The court held
Fishback under $1,000 bonds and his
hearing was set for March %. A
bond had not been furnished by
time that afternoon so Deputy
Sheriff Council took him to the
jail. Later, signers were
found in the persons of S. j. Bick-
lord, Jos. J. Bell and Roy Hayashi,

Is especially gratifed over finally
this arrest. U. S. Deputy

Neil, the little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. H. Kohl, delightfully."- entertain

afternoon in honor of his eighth
birthday. The little folks had a
merry time playing games, after
which delicious refreshments were

of enjoyment the little friends de-
parted in a decidedly happy mood,
wishing Neil many more happy

Beggar Well Supplied
With Funds and Nerve

A man giving the name of King,
apparently about 35 years of age,
was arrested today by Officer Nichol
on a vag charge. He has but one
arm and the cripple plea served very
effectively as he went from person
to person and door to door on the
streets. His manner, far from mod
est, bordered on strong arm methods
that caused timid persons to hest
tate to refuse him. A complaint was
phoned in to Judge Gordon by a wo-
man who said the man had frighten-
ed her.
When arrested he became hard
boiled and defiant, said he would
stay in jail before he would pay a
fine. Arraigned in court he defend
ed himself in a fluent speech, claim
ing he was trying to solicit enough
money to start in business. He de-
clared he was a graduate of Pullman
college, Washington. When search
ed, 1861 was found in his pockets,
drafts, currency and silver.

Our Office Boys Philosophy
OF Life
Gazette, Matoon, I'D

Did it yer occur to you that a mans life is full of crosses and tempta-
tons? He comes into the world without his consent, and goes out against
his will, and the trip between is exceedingly rocky. The rule of contraries
is one of the features of this trip.
When he is little, the big girls kiss him; when he is big the little girls
kiss him. If he is poor, he is a bad manager; if he is rich he is dishonest.
If he needs credit, he can't get it; if he is prosperous, everyone wants to
do him a favor.
If he is in politics, it is for graft; if he is out of politics, he is no good
to the country; if he doesn't give to charity, he is a shngy cuss;:i if he
does. it's for show. II he is actively religious, he is a hypocrite: if he
takes no interest in religion, he is a hardened sinner.
If he gives affection, he is a soft specimen; if he cares for no one. he
is cold booded. If he dies young, there was a great future for him; if he
lives to N old age, he missed his calling.
If you save money, you're a crouch; if you spend it, you're a loafer:
if you get it, you're a CRATER; if you don't get it. you're a bum. So, what
the hers the use?

few days ago the petitions Of two
minor parties that seek recognition

Some persons. he found. had
signed under the delusion it was a

knew not what. Nor troubled to
learn.
Now they learn the papers weren't

then, like Banquo's ghost. their au-

them. Appended TO a promissory
note or to a petition to put a minor

Safety

WO prominent young men of
Indianapolis were killed in
automobile accidents within a
weeks interval, under similar cir
cumstances.
Linton A Cox Jr. met his death
when the machine in which he was
riding skidded on a slippery pave
ment near Straughn, Ind, one week
ago Saturday.
Last Saturday night the car
driven by Frank II. Marmon over
turned in loose gravel near Avon.
Ind. And he was crushed 10 death.
In both cases the automobiles
were in the hands Of skillful aid ex--
perienced drivers. The machines
were being driven rapidly. but not
at a speed unusual on open high
ways. Not at rate, under ordin-
airy conditions, incompatible with a
fair margin Of safety.
If the unexpected did not happen.
But the unexpected occurred. In
one instance a slippery pavement
failed to grip the wheels when, in an
emergency, the brakes were APP
piled. In the other case an unlocked
for patch of loose gravel.
And the unexpected cost Linton
A. Cox Jr., and Frank II. Marmon
their lives.
Highways are constructed with
such forethought and safeguards
possible to minimize accidents. And
automobiles are built with a large
margin OF mechanical safety.
But an automobile is speedy-not
alert. And the unexpected may be
only forty rods ahead
So driving caution. vigilance and
alertness give the only sure margin
Of safety.

BULL MOOSER.
STANDS FOR
Ia TOILETTE
Progressive Leader in 1912
Declares Measures
Are Sound.
BY AMOS PINCHOT,
Progressive Leader, Active in the
Roosevelt Campaign of 1912.


Tr7 OR twenty years I have fol-
r lowed La Follette's career IN
IL detail, and I have never
known him during that time to
stand for a single extreme or I'M
sound measure, nor had he ever
advocated or helped put through
any measure, except after the most
painstaking and careful study; and
nothing he has either proposed or
put through has failed finally to be
recognized by even the more con.
sentative elements as both sound
and necessary.
At the present time every real
progressive knows the dominant
power ir America happens to be in
the hands of a very small and rich
group Of corporations and individuals
who control both major political par
ties.
The ridiculous attempt, therefore,
by the little group Of ex-progressives
to rebuke Senator La Toilette for the
fight he is waging against the plu-
tocracy merely shows they are serv-
ing the cause Of reaction not any too
wisely. Any political movement
which fails to see that the real fight
Of democracy is waged to take the
power out of the hands of the plu-
tocracy and lodge it in the hands of
the whole people is not a progressive
movement.
In closing would say that II to
fight the group or class that has cap
tured and prostituted our govern
ment for private noney-malIing ends
in the Harding and Coolidge Admin
istration is raising the class strug-
gle, as these -progressives say it
is; If to challenge the control Of gov.
eminent by industro financial organ
izations and pious grafters and cor.
ruptionists and TO set up a govern
ment by and for all classes instead
OF one class. is TO promote class
cleavage, then let the ex-progressive
signers and their G. o. p. candidate

For the tabernacle was erected be-

Lawyers, doctors. judges, business
men, donned overaIls and attacked
unaccustomed manual tasks that the
building might be completed by

not for material gain.
The building is concrete proof
that, when something besides the
days pay is at stake, men will toll
tirelessly and with unquenchable ar

time.
And, while in the workaday world
many have ears attuned only to the
quitting whistle, there will occas-
ionally be one who finds inspiration
and joy in his work. His driving
force is more than bread and butter
It's the pride Of doing and the ambi-
