Truth Not Told
George L. Door, staff correspond
ent, Christian Sciene Monitor.
"When starting on this truth
seeking expedition to the northwest
section Of our country, l find that
had not the least conception of the
actual conditions existing therein.
NY impression, as gained from pub
lished articles and reports of con-
gressional proceedings, | have found
to be far from true. l believed the
farmers in the northwest were in
~periolous straits and that farming was
not a profitable occupation. Since
talking with farmers and authorities
on agriculture it clearly is apparent
that such a fear is u~neounded. Sue
ctssful farmers are in -ae majority
They are successful because they
farm correctly. Some men unfit for
he job have faiied, and this is due
to various reasons for which they are
to blame. Such men cry loudly for
relief and evidently they r heard in
the east. However, the west is not
on its back. 1t is on it's feet and is
going forward. 1t needs more real
live farmers, which it will get in due
course"
All Optimistic
Frederick W. Kendall, Buffalo Ex-
press:
"The greatest asset of the north
west today is the spirit of its people.
1t reminds me of those days of the
World war when, as a steamerload of
the wounded drew up at London
docks, its human freight consigned
to the hospitals, the lone query went
up from it's decks. Are we down
hearted?' and the immediate response
in chorus always was, we r not.
It was that spirit with which they
carried on in the World war, it was
that spirit which won the World war.
Tt is that spirit which is so manifest
in this portion of the northwest
through which we have travelled. The
northwest has been wounded, but it
appears to have no thouoH+ ere.

Hats off To People
T. A. Burke, N. E. A. Service,
Cleveland:
"The entire trip indeed has been a
revelation and especially interesting
to the scribes because of the fact that
probably three-fourths of our group
ID not seen the northwest before. I
take off my hat to the fighting spirit
of the people of the northwest and to
the glad-hand of hospitality that has
reached out to us all along the line.
Out where the West he@ins means
much more to me than the rather
catchy title of a rather catchy song
we like to sing back at Cleveland.
There may be something wrong with
Montana and the great northwest but
I doubt if you could find it with a
high-powered microscope. Your peo-
pie have courage out here and you
couldn't down them with a whole
army of wildcats. And don't forget to
say that our hosts, Louis Hill and his
gang have outdone themselves as
official |chaperones to the newspaper
men"

purpose of the trip was to acquaint
eastern journalists and publishers
with conditions in the northwest by
first-hand contact and inspection.
The splendid cooperation of all of
the communities through which we

"The representatives of the press

conditions were found to be as they
