longs to that class Of publications
which is supported by constituency
intent upon working out definite
policy to which many people object
for lack of understanding. This Is not
Kept Press" in the common def
milton Of the phrase.
Generally a KEEP Press" Is under
stood to be of that class which secret
ly exploits a cause that can advance
only by adroit and secret propaganda.
1t is press that adroitly deceiYes the
public by eolering facts 10 suit its
policy. Mr.. Burrows says that there
are DO such newspapers. The public
will not believe him, though he may
be perfectly sincere. The public will
not believe that certain metropolitan
newspapers are not deliberately print
ing news articles to discredit prohi-
bition; it will not. believe that the
same class of publications are not
deliberate in their aim to diseredit
the LaFollette candidacy and the
American Federation Of Labor.
Mr.. Burrows would place every
religious publication in America i'm
der his definition of Kept Press"
He would characterize patriotic pub
locations, Klan newspaper and the
like as belonging to the same cate
CORY. That is a perfectly new classi-
fication and should be especially
pleasing to the vot res Of every
cause, worthy and 4nworthy, which
is publihsing a newspaper in support
of a special aim. They will under
stand, of course, that the common
stigma of the alleged Kept Press"
applies to them.

II is a well known fact that many
prominent news writer's are paid to
scatter propaganda, though the fact
probably could not be proven. The
method USE + to fctionize the fact
by exaggera b. Another way to ac-
count for such eXaggeration has al
ready been suggested, namely: that
..a,.,e,,anAas- faiieu, nnlieu nf-em-
ploying newswriters who are in SYM
pathy with the editors views, or who
are capable of writing from any angle
in order to obtain their bread and
butter, and who well knowing the
editors views will not write antagon-
istic to his policy. Such men are
paid writers. They make writing a
business, foregoing their opinions in
consideration for their weekly pay
checks. For this reason, if for no
other, Mr.. Burrows will be unable TO
find his ideal newspaper which pub
fishes the truth without color or exag-
geration, and which excludes nothing
Of news value. 1t is quite probable
that even in the columns of his own
paper there may creep in articles of
particular significance to the Repub-
lican cause, articles that help the
advertiser more than they do tie pub
lie good, and articles that help the
circulation more than they inform the
reader! This is not saying anything
whatever against the Courier 1t is
merely placing it in the category of
modern newspapers.

RAILROAD LABOR
BOARD HAS DE-
STROYED ITSELF

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The railroad la
Dor board is challenged by the rail-
road brotherhoods, and representa-
tives of these organizations refuse to
recognize subpoenas to testify in their
dispute with western carriers.
S-s,o "e4s.~.o7.-. .5fsss,.i-.tayx ------4
full at Chairman Hoover of the board
because of his leanings toward the
railroads. The chairman has carried
this favoritism so far that he sug-
gested law against railroad strikes
at recent meeting of railroad Off
cials in New York City.
The workers are now ignoring the
board and its orders. They say the
purpose of the board is to delay nego-
tiatiOns.
"The employees refuse to submit
their controversies to the so-called de-
cision of the board, not only because
the action of the board is premature,
but also because the board is not an
impartial tribunal" representatives of
the workers declare. "The chairman
has repeatedly and gratuitously made
public attacks on presentatives of
the employees and on the policies of
their organization, and has disquali-
fled himself as an arbitrator.
''rhe cost of submitting contro-
versies to the board is very large; a
decision of the board is not binding;
the board itself is biased, and the en-
ployes have the right (recently an
nounced by the United States circuit
court of appeals in Pennsylvania to
refuse to contest matter before the
labor board.
Therefore, the attempt of the
board by indirect means to compel
them to submit a controversy to the
board is an unlawful abuse of the
powers of the board and a violation
of the constitutional rights of en-
ployes and of their representatives.
"Up to date the carriers have re-
fused to hold conferences, and in so
doing are violating the requirement S
of the transportation act. The PLAN
duty of the board is to annul its order
assuming jurisdiction and to direct
the individual carriers to hold legal
conferences with the representatives
Of their employees"

Mr.. Burrows intended his editorial

ately the Twin City Federation of
Labor and its policy. He intended 10

it in definite terms. He intended to

is his opposition to Organized Labor.
He has tried to quit, but like the
topper who eventually goes back to his
cups, he can't. When he has nothing
else to write about editorially he at
tacks Labor. He will always do this
at stated interyals-so why worry?

JACK OGRADY CARL PETERSON AND
DIR. STORKAN ARRANGE MEETING

Monday night there was a gather
ing of the Republican-DemOc
clans at Fishbeck's electric light Of
fee.
Every member of the usurer's union
was present, and every collector was
there. They had long discussion on
ways and means to bring about the
defeat of Rodney Salisbury for sheriff
and the election of Mark Olson to
that Office.
Several of the wise guys thought
that the appointment of Mark Olson
by Judge Conner as Receiver of the
defunct Farmers State Bank of Medi-
cine Lake was a major political blum
der, while some others, including
Mark himself, while admitting that
| the appointment coming just at this
time was somewhat embarrassing,
thought that opportunity must be
seized when she Presents neisaiI, a.ld
that there was after all nothing like
being on the safe side-that a $3.50
per months receivership, likely to
last about a half a dozen years, had
It's own attraction, and would be
nice sOlace in case the voters put their
crosses in the wrong place. This idea
did not find great welcome among the
usurers, who are interested in elect
ing a sheriff who will do the ruff stuff
for them In their collection activities,
but as the thing had happened they
must make the most of it and do their
very best under the circumstances.
GREAT PREPARATIONS
Great preparations for the meeting
had been made. Slippery Carl Pet
ersOn was the major on the arrange
ments committee. He was ably as
sisted by John Charles O'Gradv, the
man behind DR.. Storkan, who is the
man behind the Farmerine. Mr.. o.
Grady furnished the advice. John
Charles is becoming almost as eau
clOus and silent as Cal, and as he has
become more silent he has grown
more wise, and Mr.. Peterson now
finds him a valuable assistant. The
foxy Clerk of Court got the crowd
together, and no one was overlooked
who might add something to the mass
wisdom of the cOnglomerations of has
beens who were gathered together.
Editor Sherry of RedstOne came in.

Carl who lead him to the meeting in
order to make sure he would find the
place IN this great city. Editor Sher-
ry has become a great pussyafooter-
ne pussy foots about the alleys and
back rooms of the pool halls and then

joys a smile along with Jack O'Gradv
in the back end of Carl's Office.

I OTHERS lIIRACULOUSLY ESCAPE DEATH

Tuesday morning, the people of
PIentvwo0d and Northeastern Mon
tana were shocked to hear that Rod
Ger Burke, editcr of the Sheridan
County Farmer, had been killed be-
tween Redstone and ScObey at mid
night.
A number of Plentywood young
folks including VIM Ewing, Creigh
Newton. Rodger Burke, Francis Hueb-
rer. Helen Collins and Ruby Mullen
had been invited by Numie Scott,
who had hired the big Stutz automo-
aile from A. j. Beverug, who drove

gress Monday evening.
The party left Plentywood at about
900. going from here to Outlook,
where they were Joined by Miss
Ruby Mullen, who recently was a
teacher at the Nickerson school.
After leaving Outlook the ill-fated
party started toward Scobey. About
three miles west Of Redstone in 90
ing around a curve in the road, the
big machine left the highway, strik-
ing the side of a bridge above a deep
drop on the right hand side of the
road. The car capsized and rolled to
the ground below.
The occupants of the car, who were
mhurt extricated themselves from
Che machine, but Roger Burke, who
sat on the side of the car which re-
ceived the brunt cf the drop did not
answer to the call of the passengers
when asked if he was injured.
Frantic efforts were then made to
get Mr.. Burke out, who was tangled
IN the debris, but his body was wedged
under the car in such a manner that

Dear Sir:
We hear a great deal of noise
these days in regard to the re-
election of Mr.. Salisbury for
sheriff.
l see no reason why Rodney
should net be reelected by a
larger majority than by which he
was elected two years ago.
He has stood four square on
all his prediction promises. He
has given no ground to the usur-
er's union, but has at all times
proven to be a man who could
stand on his own feet and show
these grafters they COULD not use
him nor his Office as they would
like.
Rodney has at all times made it
plain that he is a friend of the
farmers and workers.
Did we ever have a sheriff in
Sheridan county before who could
say, I stood alone to protect the
poor?
Now friends, let's go to the
polls, November 4th and vote like
real men and women and re-elect
Rodney Salisbury sheriff of Sher-
idan county.
Yours truly,
CHAS. MADSEN.
