Dillon Tribune-When Augustus F.
Graeter answered the final summons
Monday morning, there was written
"finis" to the last chapter in the event
full career of one of MOntana's most
picturesque and historic characters.

part in the early history of the state,
but throughout the remainder of his
life he did much toward the upbuilding
of business and commerce. His bust
ness ventures were generally success
full and at his death his interests in

 Only on" senator. t,lllins. dared to vote against the resolution to investi- gate Attorney General Daugherty- and Senator Elkins does not care a rap whether or not he continues in the senate. Quite aside from the merits Of tn" matter this vote of G6 to one is significant. The politicians at Washington are thrown into con fusion. There is no hystcria, but rather hopelessncss among them. What can be done to save the situa- tion" There is no hySteria among members Of a defeated football team. Rather, there is q drJection which is silent. listlrss. And when that foot ball team has no leader to whom it has been loyal. in whom ii believes. the case is still more discouraging.
 President Cooidgc's attitude of careful action; his tendency to weigh everything in the balance; to wait be- tore speaking would have been an ideal attitude for man coming to the White House under circumstances which attended his arrival there, had it not been that almost immediate de vclopmcnt. chiefly the oll scandal, de- manded decisive. determined and i'm" mediate strength. The party leaders are as much to blame as he is. There may be no confidence in leader to whom his army does not give united support. There has been no loyal sup port given the president in few mat ters which he urged. The republican leaders treated his suggestions, his tentative orders, with near contempt. The Mellon plan, is an example. Now the prediction by Senator Reed, re- publican anti-bonus senator, that bonus bill. if passed will be carried over the presidents veto, is another, In no sense has the president had loyal support, united, to hold up his hands which greatly need aid--for they are not strong hands.
 There is no hystcria in Washington nor in the country. In Washington there is uncertainty and untimidity on the part Of republican leaders and in the country there is the insistent de- mand far removed from hystcria, for action now that at last the time has come, the evidence appeared, when things may be made better in the government.

NOT "HYSTERIA"

Many people are declaring that Washington and the country are af. fected by "hystcria;" that more is being made of the recent disclosures Of at least questionable attitude taken by government officials, than such dis closures call for. Such brilliant writer who, incidentally writes with far more effect than he speaks-as Will liam Allen White, said the other day that 1t was the attitude Of the people and not the disclosures themselves that is astonishing. Hc said further that other scandals had come 10 light in days past and no such fuss had been made over them. He intimated that it was surprising to sec the people becoming so worked up over the Tea pot Dome scandal.
 Such is not inc case. The man along the street has known, perhaps a1ways-at least in recent y"ars-that things were done in official circles in Washington Of which he did not ap- prove, but he could not pin his finger on any one. had no concrete evidence that his more than suspicious were well founded. He has waited a long time. has this plain citizen, for dis closures such as have been made re- earding actions of men in high places: they are now coming 10 light. All the lime. during this waiting. the feeling of something radically wrong has been swelling to tremendous propor- tions. He has been ready. al any time, 10 vent his disapproval when there was anything tangible to get at.
 Well the time has come when there is something targibic--and the man who has waited has his innings. His attitude Of mind-hc feeling Of the people all over the country-has burst from the dam of indefnitencss which has previously held if hack, ana the flood Of his indignation has taken the politicians at Washington off their feet It is not ''hysteria" that is in evidence TOW. II is. in thc citizen ship. the ,xpT. ssion of scorn which has been growing in strength. II is. in the politician. the overpow"rins reali- zation that the dam has burst; that DO longer may the habits Of the other days bc cortinucd in secret. with q laugh at the people; that something has got to be done about it now.
 Naturally this sudden realization has thrown the leaders in the present administration into confusion. Ordi- narily President Coolidge and his of- fciaI advisers and his party would have the advantage. especially under the circumstances Of his coming to the White House to take up the work Of a man who received such ire frrrdous ma aforfty at his election. But all that advantage has been swept away
