of a "crusading temperament" Mr.. Cox, in turn.
expressed regret over the occurrence, adding
that Gin the future I shall be doubly watchful both
in the classroom and in the publication, to use
intelligent caution along with intelligent daring"
The whole burden of the faculty opinion, from
Chancellor Brannon down, seemed to be that there
was nothing wrong with the filth" printed. but
that the public was not far enough advanced edu-
cationalIy" to appreciate it's vigOr and originality.
'The people in general are not in line" said Mr..
Brannon, "and their attitude must be respected"
Mr.. Clapp and Mr.. Cox appear to entertain the
same painful regret that the ordinary men and
women of Montana are so backward Intellectually.
John Frolicher, student editor of The Frontier"
gracefully slipped out of the mess by leaving the
university.
The sensation aroused by the indecency of the
language used in eth Frontier" has drawn ener-
getic condemnation from virtually every forward
looking newspaper in the state, as well as from
hundreds of outstanding, clean-minded citizens
who strongly object to the publication or condon-
ing of the publication of absolute filth in any
periodical. Not only that, but it has brought to
light many things that are not at all to the credit
of the university, and which indicate that condi-
tions there are astOundingly unsatisfactory.
Chancellor Brannon's failure to deal promptly
and decisively with this unfortunate situation is
not only regrettable but fatal. He has been
weighed in the balance and found wanting. So
has President Clapp. The public is now somewhat
aware of the moral conditions at the State uni
versity, and it is far from satisfied with them.
How long will parents who are sending, or who
expect to send, their sons and their daughters
to that institution permit such a situation to
exist?

PAINT UP AND CLEAN UP

Now is the time to paint up and clean up.
BOzeman needs considerable paint, and there are
many spots that would be wonderfully improved,
in appearance at least, by a cleansing.
By an official proclamation issued by Mayor
Edmund Burke, the week of May 2 to 8, inclusive,
has been designated as "Clean Up and Paint Up
week. The Bozeman Chamber of Commerce also
has issued a proclamation to the same effect.
There are any number of reasons why citizens
of Bozeman should heed and act upon these pro-
CARNATIONS. Besides the individual benefits to be
derived, there is the matter of civic pride and
regard for the welfare and reputation of our
community. Bozeman already has a more than
statewide reputation as one of the ~cleanest, neat
est, and most attractive cities in Montana, and
it is up to us to see that it is maintained and en-
HANGED.
Full details of the program for "CIean Up and
Paint Up week will be found in other columns
of The Courier. When the morning of May 2
dawns, let's all arise with a firm determination
to do our part in the making of Bozeman as clean
and as bright as if it had been scrubbed and scour-
ed by the famous Gold Dust twins.
Bozeman will entertain this summer a great
number of visitors from all over the United States.
They will view our city with keen and discerning
eyes-we should see that they find it good to
look upon. BY so doing we shall make a most
favorable impression that will have far reaching
effects. A little time and effort are all that is
needed. No urging should be necessary for each
and every citizen to do his bit.

FARMING THE BASIC INDUSTRY

The national Industrial Conference board finds
that the farming industry buys $4,000, 900, 900
worth of goods and service of other industries
annually.
1t supplies materials for industries employing
nearly half of all industrial workers.
It supplies about one-fifth of the total railroad
freight and one-half of the total value of all
exports.
Farmers pay in taxes one-fifth Of the total
cost of government in the United States.
Farms represent one-fifth of the total national
wealth, and contribute one-sixth of the total ma
tiOnal income.
In 1921, the value of farms aggregated $685.
OOO, 100000, as against $4,000, 600, 1000 invested
in manufacturing industries.
The great dependence of industries upon the
basic materials furnished by agriculture demands
the maintenance of an adequate and well-balanced
agricultural production, lest the nation become
dependent on foreign countries for materials nee
essary to industries and economic life. Farmers
are vitality interested in a fair tariff, free from
political juggling.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Senator
Cummins, Of Iowa, is understood to
be distressed over the possibility,
which no doubt is a probability, that
Brookhart will run against him this

ators due to stand for election this

Of this fear Of disturbing Of alienat-

that, by reason Of BrOOkhart's candi-

and that without the BrOokhart can

WOMEN MILITANT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The pro-
hibitiOn hearings have held the center
of the stage during the past week.
Both the vets and the drys have had
their innings, but the end is not yet.
There is no gainsaying that the wom-
en- made an extraordinary showing.
They did more than merely present
evidence in support Of their side Of
the case; they displayed a m~ilitantly
aggressive spirit which the political
leaders must recognize. Il was im-
possible b attend the hearings and
watch the proceedings without noting
that v the sitting members Of the
committee who at the beginning were
apparently inclined TO regard the pro-
test Of the women as a part Of the
record, became exceedingly interested
before the close, at the strength
which the women displayed, and their
determination that the law should not
be changed.

NEEDED-A HOUSECLEANING

That a thorough housekeeping, from cellar to
garnet, is needed at the State university at Mis-
soula is becoming increasingly evident to all who
have looked into conditions there.
It is not only obvious that something is wrong,
but it is plain that the whole moral atmosphere
is sadly in need of fumigation. And if even half
of the reports on conditions there are true, some
changes in the faculty should be made without
delay.
The general situation at the State university
was brought fOrcibly to the attention of the public
with the recent publication in "The Frontier" a
student quarterly, Of matter designated by many
newspapers of the state as filth and vulgar
ity." Indeed, so Objectionable were some Of the
items that the state board of education was called
upon to make an Investigation.
That board, however, after expressing disap-
proval, passed the buck'- to Chancellor NJ. A
Brannon. He, manifestly distressed at the
dilemma in which he was thrust, issued a very
weak statement to the effect that "the situation
is one in which we must advance with advice
rather than mandate" at the same time ~utterinl
words Of praise for Professor Sidney Cox, head Of
the class of creative writing" who had passed
the "vile language" before its publication.
Not content with this pitiful exhibition Of in

B~ROOKHART'S RETIREMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. C-The retire
ment of Senator Brookhart from the
senate was a necessity if the theory
Of party government and control was
to continue as a fixed factor in our
country. On the face Of the returns,
the party has lost a Republican SEN
atOr, who has been replaced by a
Democrat, but BrOokhaTt's actions in
the senate have rarely been those Of
a Republican, and as between an IN
certain supporter, and a relatively
sincere if honest opponent the aver
age man would not be slow in making
the choice.
Senator BroOkhart, while wearing
a Republican label, has scOffed at the
party under whose banner he was
supposed TO be enlisted. During the
last national campaign he openly
flouted Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.. Dawes
the national candidates, and gave hi
support and sympathy entirely to the
opposition forces. No party a b.
effective or worthy Of the confidence
Of the people which cannot contro
its own membership. Senator But
Ter, Of Massachusetts, chairman Of tn,
Republican National committee, is en-
titled to the thanks Of the Repub
licans of the country at large for tn
stand which he took that a man t.
be a real Republican must be one o
deeds as we'll as words, and the veT
dict Of the press of the country
that he has done a substantial thinl
for the organization in directing thi
campaign for the unseating Of Brook
hart.

MAKING THE BIBLE r

A Yale professor has compiled a "dry" version
of the Bible, in which he eliminates" certain
references to wine, and alters others to conform
more closely with the VOlstead act, such as sub
%stituting "raisin cakes" for "flagOns of wine"
Even the staunchest supporter of prohibition
will be slow to accept the professors innovation.
Whether we call them "raisin cakes" or 'fagons
of wine" is not material. The e~ssential, point is
that we do not want a "flapper's Bible for the
flappers, or a wet Bible for the vets, or a "drv"
Bible for the drys. The world needs the good old
Book as it is. Rather than put more prohibition
into the Bible, would it not be better to put more
respect and reverence into prohibition ?-Siver

Wheat Lower

CHICAGO, Dec 8, (AP)-Owing
more or less to word that big
shipments of Canadian wheat by
lake are still being prepared for;
wheat averaged lower in price to-
day. Blockades were again report
ed effective. Closing quotations on
wheat were irregular, 14c advance,
corn unchanged to quarter a &c
off, oats 1sc to 1ac down and pro-
vision unchanged to sc decline.
According to advices on hand
heavy loadings of wheat were in
evidence today, on port on Lake
Superior and about 100000 were
expected to be put afoat in the
next few days. Meanwhile, the
seaboard reported that European
demand was slow, with foreigners
in general apparently holding off
for lower prices. Export business
in North American wheat today
was estimated not to exceed $780,
100000. Fine weather in Argentine
helps the harvest there; counted as
an additional bearish factor and so
likewise is Australian wheat NOV
ing. More over, the December de-
livery of wheat here continued to
show a substantial discount un-
der the May price, and there was
talk current that millers, besides
having large amounts of wheat on
hand may encounter difficulty in
disposing of flour the first six

FOR WINSLOWITES

Once again the downtown dis
trict will reflect the glow of color
ed lights from a real Christmas
tree, and Winslow kiddies can rail-
ly round a Christmas symbol es-
pecially prepared for them by the
city fathers, for the city council
has decreed that Winslow shall
again present all it's citizens with
G municipal Christmas tree. City
Engineer Stanley Watkins was in
structed some time ago to obtain
tree of goodly proportions to
grace the main street of Winslow,
and Christmas lights and decOra-
tions are being overhauled after a
year of idleness.
This year, it is understood, nc
other organization has yet entered
the field to assist the council, but
it is believed that churches,
brotherhoods and other bodies will
lend some help to the city for such
q worthy object.
Full details concerning the mum

believed that conditions will be
similar to those of last year.

GO. P. INSURGENTS
STRIKE A SNAG ON
COMMITTEE POSTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 8
(AP)-The move to reinstate Re-
publican insurgents of the house
in the party fold ran into a snag
TODAY at a meeting of the Republi-
can committee on committees
which a year ago banished them
from important posts on commit
tees.
Although insurgent and admins
tration leaders were hopeful of a
peaceful settlement of their diff
culties, they encountered an OPP
posing trend of sentiment in the
committee which refused to agree
to appoint Representative Nelson
of Wisconsin, the insurgent lead
er. to the craftsmanship of the
pensions committee.
Members of the committee de-
manded more information on the
present degree of insurgency
among the banished members, and
the effect the appointment of Nell
son would have on the status of
other insurgents.
The question precipitated
somewhat extended decision and
the committee broke up without
action. Another meeting will be
held next week at which time the
question again will be raised.
Administration leaders admit
ted they had decided giving the
pension Craftsmanship to Nelson
for his long service ON the COM
mittee and without extracting any
promise from him as to future
party regularity. This committee
post became vacated at the death
of Representative Fuller, of Hi
nois.

The custom of the college here

will be able to finish their work as
usual at the close Of each quar-
