Stupidity and WrOngdOing in
High Places

Recent developments concerning the
acts and conduct of some of our pub
lie men are both astounding and hui
initiating.
When recognized crook. man
known to he vicious and without con
scientious scruples, commits crime,
IL occasions no surprise, the cOmpla-
cence OF the public is undisturbed.
The impression prevails that the law
was made to handle such, and crime
and criminal are soon forgotten.
But when "a man who has accepted
the responsibilities of grave trust
such as administering the affairs OF
the people who have hOnOrcd him. he
trays that trust through negligence
or questionable practices, we find our
selves wondering sometimes what is
wrong with the system that makes
such things possible.
Honest. sincere people are loath tC
believe the charges until indisputablC
evidence has swept away every rea
sonable doubt and proven them to bC
founded on fact.
Into the press dispatches of the las
two weeks Is written a record Of stu
pidity and wrOngdoing in high places
II is n record of shame.

fayorably impress the court or the
public
Two days ago William II. Anderson
superintendent of the New York Anti
Saloon League, was sentenced to serve
from one to two years in SIM Sing
prison. He was convicted of forgery
in falsifying the books of the league.
In sentencing him the court said
that the crime was deliberately com
mitted, and that it was aggravated
"by some of the testimony which was
obviously untrue"
Anderson was held in high regard
by prominent men in his state. John
ID. Rockefeller. Jr, was liberal con-
tributor to the Anti-SaloOn League
fund. when Anderson was first ac-
cuscd Rockefeller flew to his defense.
He refused to believe that tie con.
iidence rcposed in An lcrson had been
betrayed.
The conviction of Anderson will
give much comfort to the forces en-
gagged i'm the attempt to break down
the prohibition law. The criminal
business in which they are engaged
has dullcd their conception of right
and wrong weakened their processes
of reasoning along such lines. Dis
honest themselves, they profess to
believe that all who oppose their dis
reputable business are dishonest, and
will cite the conviction Of Anderson.
Ant-SaloOn League leader, as proof.
But the fall of Anderson will not
disrupt the Anti-SalOon League or stop
the march of prohibition.
The ignominy of Fail will not de-
ter honest government officials from
buckling on their armOr and defend
ing federal property against the at
tacks of bribcrs aud grafters.
The negligence Of DENLY will only
serve to make other members of the

The prodigality Of Forbes will re

in the selection Of bureau heads and
a resolve that our disabled war vet
Grams shall receive every comfort and
attention tha. it is possible for Il CRATE
ful nation to give.
Altogether, the disclosures of the
last two weeks might have been dis
couraging to those working for the
clean administration Of public affairs
were it no for the realization that
such instances Of negligence and
wrong-doing are the exception

STOCK FREE FROM
DREADED DISEASE

EANY reports, all of which have
MI as yet proved on investigation
49, to be unfounded, that the foot
and mouth disease has broken out
in Montana, have kept the state vet
erinarian, DR.. w. j. Butler and his
assistants, busy and under somewhat
of a nervous strain of late. In 1914,
Montana had the foot and mouth dis
ease and since that time a rigid in
spection has been maintained, DR..
Butler states. For nine years the
state department has required the
burning of all packing and shipping
material in which chinaware and one
or two other commodities have been
imported into this country from Eng
land and China.
While the Montana state veteri-
marian believes that California now
has passed the crisis and will gradu-
ally strengthen the grip it has on
the situation which for a time men
aced the livestock of the west, the
vigilance of the Montana officials
will not be relaxed.
Slaughter of cattle, the best meth
cd of opposing the spread of the
dread disease that has yet been dis
covered, still is not a scientific or a
satisfactorily efficient way of com
batting it, the Montana veterinarian
believes. The fight against the in
lection must go on until a serum or
medical preparation is found which
will immunize cattle or eliminate the
disease after it is contracted, he
states. Slaughter will cope with the
disease temporarily but it is the his
tory of European countries, he de-
clares, that the time comes when kill
ing stock no longer will cope with
the situation-when the disease be-
comes so widespread that it is no
longer profitable to kill stock rather
than to yield to the disease and at
tempt to doctor the sick animal.
With more than 500 men of sci
ence studying the disease, in Cali
fornia alone, and the most eminent
scientists of the world working for a
or medical treatment, the day
will come and possibly soon when
foot and mouth disease will be con-
quered, DR.. Butler predicts.
Foot and mouth disease also is
known as aphthous fever, %epizootic
aptha and eczema c~ontagiosa, the de-
partment of agriculture states in a
book devoted to this subject.
The disease has appeared in the
United States on at least six differ
ent occasions prior to the present
outbreak in California. These times
were in 1870, 1880, 1884, 1902, 1908
and 1914. In 1914 it was found in
Fl states in addition to Montana.

WOO Pool Sale

The Saltwater Wool Growers as
ISOLATION Saturday sold it's 4O0,O 0O
pool at 43 cents a pound, a total of
$175,0O0, t oSilberman & Sons, Chi
cago, through T. P. Milyihill, local
agent.
The Saltwater pool is exceeded in
size of clip by the Jericho pool, in
Utah, probably. Last year it's clip
was $4,000 pounds, and next year
it will try to market 100000 pounds.
1t was organized in 1920 and has $50
members.
Each spring the members form a
wool pool and appoint a small COM
mittee of bankers and woolgrowers
to dispose of all the wool at the best
price which they can obtain.
Small growers in the association
find the pool a great advantage as
they can sell their few fIeeces and
get the same price as the larger
grower, it is stated. Since the or
ganization of the pool, the number of
small bands has increased rapidly.
Last year a farmer on a nonirrigat-
ed ranch, who wgas running 10
ewes, sold more than $1,700 worth
of lambs and wool. Many of the
small punches returned about $12
a head.

Central and District Offices to at
tend.
One of the chief activities Of the
Montana Association of the past six
months has been an effort to defeat
the acceptance of the Reconsideration
Bill of Civil Service, wherein nurses
are reduced from a trained profess
sional status to that of attendant SER
vice. DIR. Bonness, Director of Child
and Infant Welfare of the State
Board of Health has placed this issue
before the Woman's Clubs of the
state. In the course of the business
taken up at the National meeting,
a petition to Congress to the effect
that a nurse be appointed to rate
nurses applications for Civil Ser
vice employment will be framed.

ment the sales of which is expanding
most.
R. B. Refs, secretary of the Mid
land Implement company, says his
company's implement business had
expanded 100 per cent in the last
year. Cream separator movement,
he said, was 500 per cent better
than last year, although he pointed
out that this was probably due in
part to the fact that this is the sec
ond year that his company has
handled these machines.
Equipment such as feed grinders
and n spreaders that formerly
found but a very desultory sale, are
now moving briskly. MI. Refs show
ed. There is no movement of grain
binders whatever, but three carloads
of corn binders have been disposed
of. Corn listers and %cultivators are
being sold three times as rapidly as
last year, and the difficulty that is
now being faced is getting them
from the factory quickly enough.
Montana will soon vie with Cali
fornia and Wisconsin, the two lead
ing bean states, Mr.. Refs said, if the
movement of beet and bean machin-
cry may be taken as an indication.
The Montana Great Northern bean
is taking premiums over the beans of
those two states, and the machinery
used in bean growing has tripled its
volume here this year.
The International Harvester COM
pany and the Billings Implement
company both note an average SO
per cent increase in the sales of farm
implements used in diversified agri-
culture already this year.
Since 1921 a 300 per cent increase
in cream %separators has been regis
tered and maintained each year, over
the sales prior to that year. Corn
c~ultivators, bee and bean
tools, feed grinders and corr shelters,
show the average increase of SO per
The Watland Implement company
noted an increase in corn planters
but no marked increase over the
past few years in other machinery.
The F. B. Connolly Machinery
company has sold five times as many
and corn planters this year as
It has during the past few years,

Montana's oldest office holder is
Assessor Henry S. Neal of Deer
Lodge county. He is so years of
age, a pioneer of Montana, a form
err Confederate soldier, and a re-
publican. He has served as as
SCISSOR of Deer Lodge county for
20 years, and a few days g an
nounced that at the expiration of
his present term of office he would
retire.
He was born in ante bellum days
in Baltimore, and was a cousin of
former President Grover Cleveland.
He was in college when the Civil war
broke out, cast his lot with the south
and enlisted under General Robert E..
Lee.
Shortly after the close of hostili-
ties he decided to locate in the west.
He travelled from Virginia to st.
Louis, Mo-, by rail; thence to Kan
sas City by boat; to Atchison, Kan,
by rail, where he Joined with Shrew-
bury's train consisting of "a mule
and OK teams and 80 men. With
that outfit he travelled to Julesburg,
thence up Pole creek to Fort Buford
and then by Green river to Salt Lake,
where he arrived in September, 1866.
He worked there until the following
spring, when he went to Virginia
City, in what is now Montana. The
place failed to hold him, and his next
destination was Last Chance gulch,
site of Montana's present capital. At
that place he began placer mining
and followed it with varied success
for some time.
He then enlisted in the Montana
militia, serving as lieutenant under
Neil Howe. With his company he
made a trip to what. is now the yell
lowstone National park, where
trouble arose in the ranks, and the
entire company, with the exception
of the officers, left the service. With
his fellow officers, Lieutenant Neal
returned to Last Chance, where he
again took up placer mining.
Becoming tired of that occupation,
he turned his attention to stock rails
taking up a claim in the same
vicinity. He remained there, meet
ing with fair success until 1871,
when he sold his ranch property and
to the Deer Lodge valley,
WnGTG u0 lGdS0Q LIS DduC0 fduCu.
He remained on the ranch for three
years, then again took up mining
in the Squaw gulch district, and
worked there two years for wages.
Next he returned to the Deer Lodge
and leased the Bratton ranch,
proprty he operated with good
success until 1884, when he sold
out and moved to Anaconda, which
was just being started. He identi-
fled himself with public affairs soon
after locating in the new camp, and
serving n term as street COM
missioner, moved to Granite county
and opened a general store and
boarding house. The venture pros
pered and he remained with it for
tive years. In 1890, an opportunity
presented itself for an advantageous
sale and he disposed of his property
and returned to Anaconda. In 1904
ne was elected justice of the peace
md after filling that office for four
years was elected assessor, which
position he still retains.
