An Overplayed Hand

The so-called Investigating committees of
the senate of which Montanas two senator's
have been the respective prosecutors and lime
lighters have violated every rule of admissible
ity of evidence that the law books and rulings
of courts have laid down since the days of
Justinian.
1t has been the patent intent of the prose
cutors, our lawyer senators, to bring stain of
some description on the character of everyone
who has been brought before them and even to
stretch forth and place black hand upon the
president himself.
The malice and venom Of the committees
long since became apparent to every fair mind
ed citizen of the country, as the results of the
primary elections in every state are fully de-
monstrating. Up to the present time Mr. Cool
ldge has lost but one state where president
ial primary has been held.
The American people love fair play. They
believe in the cardinal principles of their home
land. They believe that the constitutional
rights OF every citizen are sacred and should
not be infringed upon.
In their attempts to smear and besmirch
everyone within calling distance the Democrats
have clearly overplayed their hand
They should have known it weeks ago
but it is just getting through the skulls of the
more intelligent members of that party.
Referring to the discreditable conduct of
our Montana lawyer-senators the Chicago Tri-
bune makes this comment:
- Wheeler had no respect for the rule of
evidence. He and Walsh were not out for
justice, but for scandal, welcoming untruth as
eagerly as TRUTH and giving credence to testi-
mony which had no inherent pausibility and no
substantiation. Their hope was apparent that
many regulations would fall, that party would
be found completely blackened by treachery to
the people, and that the whole nation would be
shamed. These hopes were evidenced in the
procedure"

MISS MARY CASE MARSH
GUEST OF FRIENDLY
SOCIETY

Miss May Case Marsh, Extension
Secretary for this District for the
Girls Friendly Society in America,
spent several days in Carbon County
last week in the interests of the So
ciety- 1t Is two years since Branch
was formed in Red Lodge under the
leadership of Mrs. Ten Brock, and
Miss Marsh was pleased to find the
little group Of girls so enthusiastic.
She was the guest of the girls at a
supper in her honor Wednesday even
ing.
The following day Miss Marsh drove
with Mr.. and Mrs. Ten Brock to Jol-
let where branch was organized
under the leadership of Miss Margar-
ct Dell. Several of the older women
also met and pledged to support the
new society.
Branches were also formed in ST.
lesia under the leadership of Miss
Lena Dillon, and in Bridger Candi-
dates Glass, girls from to IL, I'M
der Mrs. AL Reese, and a group Of
older girls under Mrs. Gates. The
Bridger people were very enthusiastic
over the presentation of Friendly
ideals and it is possible that third
group Of girls, ranging in age between
the two groups formed, will be orga-
niged into third branch.
Although there are about sixty
thousand members of this, the largest
girls society in the world, in the Unit
ed States alone, yet there are few
branches as yet in Montana. Carbon
County with five branches carries the
banner for Montana, and it is hoped
that county meetings for the Friend
ly Society will develop. Already the
girls are planning camp in the
mountains this summer which the
Billings branches have asked permits
sion to join, and Miss Marsh is hoping
that an Associates Training Glass can
be held up in the mountains near Red
Lodge the following summer.

preston throughout the state that Edwards
was out of politics. entirely, but it seems as if he
is still casting an eye upon the gubernatorial
job.
The fact that he is bitterly opposed to Dix
on was made evident two weeks ago when he
sent out from Helena to various leading Repub-
leans of the state QUESTIONABLE he put up to
Governor Dixon regarding his administrative
acts and the alleged failures Of his administra-
ton. Particular stress was made by Edwards
in this QUESTIONABLE upon Dixon appointees
and their fitness, it is stated.
Last Saturday Mr.. Edwards was inter-
viewed by newspaper reporter regarding re-
ports of his proposed candidacy and he said:
For the present am interested in analyz-
ing the administration of Dixon. He may be
able to satisfactorily explain to those not on his
payroll why he has met with such poor results
as captain of our ship of state. If the governor
will come out into the open and fully, fairly and
satisfactorily answer such pertinent questions
as may be propounded to him, and as bear re-
lationshp to his official conduct, will give him
my support for reelection.
"On page 81 of Dixon's 1923 message he
told the legislators that he would make his ap-
pointments from list of "big' men from diff
ferent parts of the state. While such statement
10 on-ucCldl dCoIy oil inquiry Inlay Suggest CnaC
Mr.. Dixon should cooperate with others with
view to the selection of "big" man for COVER
nor. With an all-star cast, the balance sheet of
the next governor may indicate conferences a.
mong several, rather than ex parte, when the
states business was under consideration"
All Of which means that Mr. Edwards is of
the probable opinion that the governor made his
appointments without comforting with mem
bers of his party, aside FROM favored few, per-
haps. And it is possible that Mr.. Edwards is
of the opinion that he would be the proper "big"
man to select for the next governor.
1t is further reported around Helena the
crater of Montana politics, which sports almost
continuously, that Frank Edwards has been
solicited to become candidate for governor on
the radical ticket but that he has not yet grab

sPUD ACREAGE IN VALLEY
LARGEST IN THE STATE


A higher price for potatoes IL
forecast In a general reduction of
acreage over the entire state and for
the most part less favorable grow
ing conditions than last year. The
acreage in Colorado is 400 les.
than In 1928 and 1000 less than in
1922.
According to statistics Just COM
piled the San Luis Valley has the
largest potato acreage Of any dis
trict in the state. The estimate is
$4,000 acres. Greeley is second
with $4,000 acres. Western Slope
10000. Grand Valley 1000. Carbon
dale 5000. Eagle Valley $500.
The present outlook is not as fav-
orable As at this time last year and
also falls slightly below the 10-year
average according to the report Of
the Division of Crop and Livestock
Estimates. The late season, excess
sive moisture at planting time and
consequent delay prevented the crop
from getting a good start. At the
present time. most fields are about
two weeks late.
The condition ON July 1 averaged
ss percent Of normal. compared to
% . year ago and 30 the 10-year
average. As approximately so per-
cent of the crop is on irrigated land.
the drought Of the past month has
not seriously affected the condition
although the dry land crop is COM
mencing to need rain badly. Con-
siderably less area has been planted
this year than last. 4 decrease Of
~ percent being reported. The area
this year IL estimated At $1,000
acres. compared to 10000 last
year. Although rather early to make
an estimate Of production. present
conditions indicate a probable har-
vest Of about 100000 bushels less
than last year. or IL. 100000 bushels
compared to 13.530.0O0 bushels =
year ago.
For the II leading late potato
growing states in the country a de-
crease of about 3 percent is noted
in the area estimated this year. or
2.5l5.000. compared to 2,594.000
acres last year. The decrease for
the whole country is II percent.
3.763.000 acres planted this year.
compared to 3,s1S.OOO in 1929. The
estimated production for the II late
potato states is 2s4.752,0OO bushels
compared to 296.6S1.OOO last year
The production forecast for the en-
tire country. early and late potatoes
combined. is 372.sSs.000. compared

He thought 1t best not to insist that
he wouldn't be. He offered the excuse

car. seated himself at the wheel.
'You will come to see the Sorolla some

you and your husband?"
She accepted this invitation little
absently. Then promptly corrected
her manner and told him. with polite
enthusiasm. she'd love to. Still she
fingered for moment beside his car,
her elbows on the door, one foot on
the running-board. She asked him
suddenly what he was smiling at.
