LFNTEN SEASON

The Lenten period in our church
year lasting from Ash Wednesday
until Easter is observed in the Luth-
eran church by special sermons on
the suffering and death of Christ.
Why should we continue to speak
and preach so much about the suffer-
ing of Christ? Why not speak about
something more pleasant and more
practical? Is 1T not more encourag-
ing and strengthening to Christian
faith to show Christ as the great
conqueror, the person with all power
in heaven and on earth? We must
remember that all Scriptures are
given for instruction and when we
read the gospels we notice that they
devote many chapters to the last days
of Christ, giving a minute descrip-
ton of everything which took place
the last week eff his earthly life
There is some reason for this and we
would fail to proclaim the whole
counsel of God if we neglect to cal
attention to this portion of His life
Paul preached "Christ Crucifed." The
Wcarious atonement Of Christ through
suffering and death was fore-shadow
ed by the ritual prescribed in thu
old Covenant. John the Baptis
when pointing out the Messiah, said
Behold the Lamb Of God which TAX
eth away the sins Of the world" Thu
very essence of the gospel is to pro
claim that Christ came to suffer anC
die for our sins and that He rose t,
our justification.
A right presentation of this sub
ject, will more than anything else
lead to true repentance and contritiol
of sin, prepare a person to accept tn,
glorious Earth message, and encour
age a life Of service and sacrifice il
the footsteps of the Master.

A CORRECTION

In the last issue of the News we
stated that certain quit-claim deed
signed by Michel PalubicIi in Aug
ust, 1923, to The State of Montana,
was not acknowledged by County At
torney Erickson, nor witnessed by
Salisbury until Dec. %, 1924. Upon
further examination of the document,
we find that it was witnessed and
acknowledged the day it was signed
in presence of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Palubicki. Mr.. Erickson and Mr..
Salisbury called this error to our at
tention and both reaffirm the original
statement that at the time it was
signed, acknowledged and witnessed,
the deed was made out to the State
of Montana. When this deed was
next seen, the name of the State of
Montana had been erased and the
name of Marguerite O'Grady inserted
in its place.
1t is in order to obviate any inter-
probation that the deed was acknow-
lodged and witnessed by Erickson
and Salisbury some time after it was
signed that we publish this correc-
/ ton.

Crisis Follows Death of
Ebert In German Reich
Continued from Page Onel

Ebert as having been bounded to
death" by his political enemies, these
point out that he alleged worry ne
was supposed to have suffered has
never been hitherto connected with
appendicitis by medical experts.
Part Of these worries have come
through Ebert's connection with the
notorious Barmat scandal, somewhat
rivalling the famous Teapot Dome
case with which the name OF Hard
ing was Joined just after his death.
Barmat had intimate rela ions with
Ebert. was a visitor to Ebert's home
and had made magnificent gifts to the
wife of the social democratic presl-
dent of the nation. This was admit
ted by Ebert himself.
Much has been done by the capital
ist press of foreign lands TO conceal
this scandal against the integrity of
the leaders of the German republic,
as it was feared that the odium might
also attach itself to the Dawes plan
of reparations, with which Ebert and
the social democracy are so closely
involved.
Perhaps the most astonishing thing
of Ebert's recent past from The view
point Of the working class, is his libe
suit against a nationalist newspaper
for having accused Ebert of treason
by aiding strikes of worlmen during
the war.
The most prominent figures of Ger
man political life were put on the
witness stand by Ebert, who, more
over, appeared in person to prove be-
yond all question that Ebert loyal!
supported the kaiser during the wal
and opposed every strike. The onl!
question raised by the newspaper il
defense, which was that Ebert ant
other leaders OF the socialists haC
actually participated in committee
of striking worlmen during the wa
was completely shattered by Eber
and his witnesses.
One after another they proved b,
document and deed, that the socia
democratic party of Germany had Ell
tered such strike committees durin
the war solely for the purpose of be
traying the strikers, breaking up tn
strike movement, limiting its deman
and duration and working for tn
benefit Of he 'fatherland" and nc
for the benefit of the strikers.

give anything to the Farmer-Labor
Temple, not even pleasant look. He
is rather busy these days figuring
how to get out of his fine of 5000
which the Justice of the Peace assess
ed against him a short time ago fer
having phoney automobiles with fun
ny pictures on the engines. He is
said to be blaming the bolsheviks for
all his troubles and when it comes to
opposing anything they do, even
building up the city of Plentywood,
Ray is ON the opposite side, right or
wrong, mostly wrong of course.
FLEETWOOD COUNCIL
is DIFFERENT
The majority of the city dads are
different from any other such body
anywheres on the continent of North
America. 1t is presumed that a city
council should embrace the idea of
building a fine hall similar to the
Temple which would be a credit to
any town, but the bitter-enders in
Plentywood can not see it that way
/ 1t makes all the difference in the
world which faction is sponsoring the
constructive program. Were it the
100 per centers who built such a hall
it is safe bet that Mayor Wagner
Alderman Lang and one or two more
would vote to light up the premises
even if it did cost the city a thousanC
dollars instead of the few dollar
which it would cost.
INVESTIGATION LONG
SUIT OF MAYOR
AS it now stands, it is presume
that Mayor Wagner will be investi
eating the need for street ligh
just like he has been investigating
the bootleggers ever since he becam
Mayor, but we note that in the cas-
of the boOtleggers, if any action
taken at all, it falls upon the bolshe
vik county officials to institute sue
action.

whose contents were known to few out
side the employers and the above
named persons was referred to the
compensation committee of the hoU Sc.
Tt was there explained that the bill
proposed to increase the weekly AL
lowance from $3.50 to $500 to take
effect at the time of injury. 1t pro
vided for many other changes in the
compensation law chief among which
was compensation for OccupatiOnal
diseases. That the bill had some n1er-
it became evident when the employ
ers' representatives fought it bitterly
in the committee. The bill was then
referred to a subcommittee of which
Larson, pill doctor from Great Falls,
was chairman.
Dan Kelly soon discovered that the
pilster from Cascade had an inferi-
GRITTY corlplex. The clever Anaconda
attorney began to cultivate the COM
pany of the Great Falls SawbOnes.
Billy Rae got busy on others. A ny
way when the subcommittee reported
to the committee and the committee
reported to the house the compensa-
ton bill as introduced by AinswOrth
disappeared and an entirely new bill
made its appearance. The only
change discernable between the old
law and this substitute was an in
crease of $3.50 per week bringing
the weekly compensation to $500
and increased medical expenses. As
the medical expense clause does not
apply to districts where men pay
hospital fees like Butte and Great
Falls, this part of the bill. is a joke
concession to the doctors.
The bill swas regarded as worse
than nothing at all by the author Of
the original bill, the Press of the Mon
tana Federation and Mr.. Locke and
amendments were prepared and given
into the possession of Ainsworth and
some others but were never moved
with the result that the substitute bill
was passed without opposition. When
1t became known in the Silver Bow
part Of the house that the amend
'ments were to be introduced there
was CONSERVATION.
Most Of the Silver Bow representa-
tlves who voted against the bank
guarantee bill and other progressive
measures had cold shivers up aheir
spines when this bill promised a fight.
They knew that the watchful eye of
the Anaconda was upon them in the
house but they seemed afraid to meet
the stern faces. of the miners of Butte
also. They got out of the dilema by
rapidly retreating to the rear. LED
by Caplis they deserted their seats
and remained away until the bill was
nearly disposed of and no amend
ments offered. Only two Silver Bow
men stuck to their seats through the
ordeal, Beadle and Mulholland. Had
they stayed they would not have got
into trouble because the amendments
were not introduced. Outside of Bea-
die, Mulholland and Fitzgerald the
Butte delegation resembles a pack Of
hunted coyotes hiding in coulees. II
must, however, be said in all fairness
that Fitzgerald, Beadle and Mulhol-
land have made a splendid record
since they came to Helena. Thev have
not only voted for progressive meas.
