Referring to the Highway frcm

ject of discussion when Mr.. Good was
here, and of his letter of November
18th, wish to say that we certainly
desire to get this on the Federal Aid
system at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and will take it up with their
Board of County Commissioners at
their first meeting, which will be the
first Monday in December, to have
the proper resolution; so that there
may be no hitch in this, we would
respectfully request if you have a
form of resolution which is custom
airy in these cases, that YOU furnish
US with copy thereof, or if you have
10 such form that you advise US with
cut delay the substance of the resO-
luton which is necessary to be adopt
ed, in order to place US in line for
designation under the 79c system.

nv their teachers. And on further
investigation I found that this money
goes to the so-called Montana Chill
drens Home Society" which Is run by
some ministers ana is a denomination
al institution in contrast to an Or
phans home which is maintained by
the taxpayers of the state for ike
purpose.
I had always supposed that the
public schools were a non-denomlna-
tional institution and that no rell-
gion should get more favorable treat
ment than the others. Now if it is
right to tell the poor school children
to 90 out and sell tags for an instl-
tuition under protestant control, why
wouldn't the same logic apply to a
catholic, jewish, or in any other in
stitution? And if these religious
| orders should be encouraged In grab
| bing the children a way from the
state institution in their young and
tender years why should not we eX-
pect the teachers to tell the children
of workers to go out and collect fOl
| the International Labor Defense?
The fact of the matter is that {
social wrong was committed b. some
one when children of different reli
gious beliefs were sent as begger.
for the support Of one of many like
institutions. The parents and tax
payers of Plentywood are entitled t.
know who is using tn echildren 70,
such a purpose and thereby helping
to undermine their character and sci
reliance by subconsciuosly intoxicating
into them the instincts of beggers-
it isn't enough to beg but to max,
one sided beggers is not right.

REGINA-MEXICO
TRAIL ASSOCIATION
IS NOW FORMED
Movement On to Build National Hi
way Through Flaxville, PlentywOOd,
Medicine Lake, ETC., to Connect
With Denver-Mexican Trail.

CULBERTSON. - At the meeting
and dinner held at Culbertson last
week, attended by a representation
from Fairview, the Canadian-Mexi-
can Highway association was formed
with c. S. Milhiser of Sidney presi
dent, Mr.. Peterson Of CulbertsOn, vice
president and Mr.. Hammond of Glen
dive, secretary to promote a high
way from Regina, Alberta to Ell Paso,
Texas, and a concentrated effort will
be devoted to organizing interest and
activity from terminal to terminal for
the purpose of establishing the motor
trail and securing for it all the finan-
cial benefits accruing to state and
federal and highways for construc-
ton and maintenance without delay.
Some work had been in progress
before the meeting and it had been
ascertained that the project was al
so practical. The Glendive represe1-
tahon had a prospectus of the pro-
posed highway showing the proper
routing of it and considerable other
/ information of value in creating en-
I thusiasm in the organization meeting.
This proposed highway has oeen III
spasmodic agitation for two or three
years. The towns in the valley have
all been eager to see an organized
move set afoot to secure it. When the
Culbertson meeting was called there
was an instantaneous response rom
] every town from PlentywoOd south to
Glendive that each would send a rep
tod -r~earse
Flaxville, Plentywood, Medicine Lake
Froid, Culbertson, Fairview, Sidney
Richey and Glendive.
Besides the officers elected, a trai
man was appointed for each town rep
resented in the meeting.
Attorney F. w. Greer represented
the Plentywood Commercial Club a

ANGLO-SAXON RACE
IS TOO CONCEITED
SAYS CHICAGO BISHOP

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Nov. III
The Anglo-SaxOn race is too con-
ceited. Bishop Edwin a. Hughes
of Chicago said today in a ser
mon from the pulpit of the First
Methodist Episcopal church.
cit is true that the United
States is the wealthio5t and most
powerful nation that ever graced
the face of the earth. but the
Ambassadors of America. who
claim most of the credit. seem to
forget that it was rot so many
hundred years ago that their an
cestOrs were little bette than
animals the bishop said.
The negro of America deserves
untold credit and holds 2 very
good claim to the title of the
real American, said Bishop
Hughes, in discussing the ne
groes Of America. "Negro blood
has been shed il every war in
which the United States has en-
gagged and no negro has ever

Plentywood, Mont.
Gentlemen:
As I have been reading several ar
ticles in your paper in regard to
ku kluX Khan and as / have before
me a book that tells what they do
believe in, thought l would tell you
about it.
They are an organized white, nat
ive-bOrn American, Protestant move
ment dedicated to the re-animation
OF genuine Professionalism in Ameri-
ca. As it grows the Knights of the
Ku Klux Khan is quietly but effec-
/ lively aiding in the upbuilding of
Protestant Christianity just as the
X. of C.s are working for the inter
csts of the Catholic church.
The X. K. KS believe not only in
an open Bible, in the fullest religious
liberty, in the personality Of Jesus
Christ, but also in the full Christ
program of unselfish, sacrificing
/ helpfulness carried on not with blare
of trumpet or the noise Of changing
/ cymbols, "but in secret" as COM
manded by the one master Of men,
Jesus Christ. They believe in law
and order and insist on full and i'm
partial enforcement Of the law and
seek to create appreciation of the
responsibilities privileges and duties
Of American citizenship.
They believe the American school
system must and shall be preserved,
supported, and developed for the
highest possible functioning in Amer
lean life.
They believe in doing everything
possible that will make for a nobleri
purer and more prosperous America.
But they also believe that individual
efforts count for very little when
family, human, and national rights
and interests are at stake. The need
is for organization, well-planne0, well
directed and efficiently operative.
I also believe the Knights of Col
umbus believe in the Christ program
When DR.. Thos. Moron was practic-
: ing medicine in Medicine Lake, he
was never a party to a lie and ap-
peared to live up to the ten com
= mandments.
: So l believe the X. K Ks and the
X. of C.s could be friends and assist
! each other in accomplishing great
good some times If these organi
cations were strong in a country
do not believe the underworld cOulc
send their Representatives to join tbs
: confirmation classes and congrega
! tions that were doing good work iu7
to see what mischief they could do
: and to see if they could destroy tn,
: work of the church.
= These organizations could also SCI
r that thu descendants of the Ameri
can Indians are treated respectful.
: as a lot of those people believe Il
l the Christ program,
q 7 do not believe crime is a resul
4 of the last war, but / believe befOr
o there will be less crime they vii
t have to treat the cause in a case in
d stead of the effect. Oftentimes nov
2 when some one is being lied abou
+ and robbed for a long time and tina
person retaliates by doing somethin
/ he ought not to do they will punis
= the effect and let the fellow tha
d lies and robs go free. / think some
n times the people of Montana WI
, realize and appreciate what the grea
= good Senators, Walsh and Wheele
n have done for Montana.
