please see what can be done toward
getting the city to install stop and

they will oil this street. I haven't

N. D. SENATOR ONCE
MORE A REPUBLICAN
IN GOOD STANDING


Observation-Disclosures Fra
zier, the North Dakota insurgent
is again a republican in good
standing.
He was invited back into the
party fold by organization lead
ers who two years ago banished
him from their councils and re-
prived him of committee plums
because he was in the LaFOllette
camp during the 1924 presiden-
tial campaign.
The proposal that he return to
party councils found the North
Dakota senator, who recently was
invited with other colleagues to
a White House breakfast, in a
receptive mood.
He insisted however, that he be
given his former status on COM
mittees on the ground that he
has always been a republican and
his election from conferences and
loss of committee standing were
not justified.
After a republican caucus which
probably will be held, he will be
moved up from the bottom of the
committees and take his place in
line as a majority member.
Chairmanships were agreed upon
including Senator McNary of Or
egOn for agriculture; Phipps of
Colorado, for Irrigation, and COu-
sens of Michigan, for education
and labor.

POWER INTERESTS LINE
UP AGAINST BOULDER
DAM MEASURE.

Neutrality-suspicious. power inter
ests, which have been opposing the
Swing johnson bill authorizing the
building of the worlds biggest dam
on the Colorado River between the
States Of Nevada and Arizona for
more than six years, are pooling their
resources for another attack on the
bill, which will prevent its enact
ment during the balance of the short
session Of Congress.
Representative Swing announced
recently that he intended to bring the
bill up early in January. 1t has the
support of the administration, al
though the support is believed to be
only lukewarm, in view of the fact
that it has not made any special eff
fort to get it enacted. The sale of
power at the dam by the government
would create a friendly feeling for
further government activities along
the line, and this is said to explain
the opposition of the power interests.

THE SCREENING OF
MICHAEL STROGOFF
By Violet c. Cooney.

by Violet L. COOney.
A few fortunate Butte people were
invited to a private screening of the
latest European motion picture pro-
duction, at the American theater last
Friday evening.
Fortunate were these people to see
for the first time the massive set
tings, beautiful colorings, the Orien-
tai splendor and the perfect direction
of this masterpiece.
Michael Strogoff, secret courier OIL
the ear, from the pen of the inn
mortal Jules Verne, has been trans
ferred to the screen by the Societe
DIES CinerOmans, and is to be pre-
scented to the American public under
the banner Of the Universal Film
company, Of which Carl Laemmle,
ST., is the guiding power.
We Americans are prone to take
for granted the fact that we are su-
periOr in everything. We sometimes
get the impression that we cannot be
excelled, but the writer is under the
impression that we will have to look
to our laurels in the motion picture
production field to make for the
screen a picture such as was pre-
sented to this Butte audience last
Friday.
Those familiar with the story of
Michael StrOgoff will indeed be graft
fled to know that the director has
brought to the screen the story as
written, and brought to the atten-
ton of the motion picture world
stars of the first magnitude in Eur
/ Ope who will now make our Ameri-
can stars step along lively if they
wish to keep pace with our European
screen stars.

But for the country as a whole it
was worse than a failure and turned
into a menace.
Even in the rural districts it
wrought incalculable harm because it
taught the Norwegian peasant to
make his own moonshine again-a
practice which had been prevalent up
to the early part of the last century,
but which the government, after a
battle lasting for decades, had final
ly eradicated. 1t will take decades,
officials fear, to suppress this evil
again.
Disappointment with prohibitions
failure, disgust and alarm at its con-
sequences, resentment against an ir-
ritating restriction which did not ev-
en- have the saving grace of being a
successful these motives combined
to produce a moral reaction through
out the country which buried prohi-
bition in an avalanche of votes that
surprised both Sides
1t certainly was not wicked crav-
ing for demon Rum" nor the eli
quor interests" nor the wicked
Cities" nor any Of the usual "wet''
forces that defeated prohibition.
AS shown before, Norway is one of
the sOberest countries in the world.
No Liquor Interests"
1t has only two large cities-OslC
with about 10000 and Bergen WITH
about 100000 population. Neverthe-
less, prohibition was able to take root
only in the mountainous, sparsely
settled and pietistic regions of the
west.
It has no "liquor interests" fol
the LIQUOR traffic remaining under
prohibition has been limited to {
state monopoly, and there the liquOl
traffic will remain after prohibition
disappears. Private capital invested
in the monopoly company is limited
to a dividend of 6 per cent.
The breweries were already brew
ing beer, and had no interest in pro
noting the consumption of hard Ii
quor instead of their product.
And the cafes and restaurants-th
"saloons"-were for prohibition be
cause under the kind of prohibitiO.
Norway had they were making NOR
profit on beer and wines than the
can hope to make under the rigi
control which is expected to fOllO7
