land. The moral standards OF the present
day have been brought about, largely, by
the political thimbe-riggers OF our coun-
try. This includes the naturalized and un-
naturalized. Many in official life are cater
ing to these forces, whose ideas and GUS
toms have been brought from foreign
lands, who object to the laws which gov
ern Americans and who arc connected
with the bootlegging industry. Their
places. before the Nostead law was en-
acted, were the hatcherieS OF the crimi-
nails, the holdup men and the gangsters
These are the men who are now plying
their trade and trying TO discredit the
laws enacted by majorities. and the first
step toward the return of these conditions
is through the modification OF the Nol-
stead law
What surprises me is that those who
have had military and naval training and
who grimiy fought down that great milf
tary power, the German empire, are SO
ready to surrender to an internal foe, who
is attempting to destroy the morals OF the
American peope-namcly, the booteggers
and their sympathizers. My dear sir, this
is humliating to those who believe that
the law can be enforced and shall be en-
forced. The majority have spoken and
our flag must be kept afoat. Let us be
done with rum rule.
I'VE should use all our efforts in de-
manding that honest men be placed on
guard to enforce the law, rather than sur
render America to those destructive inhu-
enees. Let MS elevate ctr standards
rather than lower them, as | believe the
modification OF the Volstead act would do.

obcyed any law which interfered with
their business if they could avoid it, and
it is not strange that they disrespect and
violate thi Nolstead law as it now stands
Would they respect it if it was modified?
| think not. That very fact alone would
encourage them in their disrespect for law.
\ number of very good people are
yielding to the argument of personal
rights, and, i'll doing SO, they are yielding

the same argument Some OF our law
makers have thrown up their hands and
are trying to surrender this great nation
to the lawbreakers. They openly concede
our defeat. They violate the law them
selves. Their method, to my way of rea-
soning, is bordering on treason.
II, as an American citizen, stand for the
enforcement of law. Before meeting in
conference to discuss the failure of the
NolStead act it should be given a fair
chance. We should demand that officers
who are in sympathy with the law be

u. S. Senator Morris Sheppard.
The vets have utterly failed to
present case which will appeal to
the people or to Congress.
Exaggerations have marked their
testimony from beginning to end.
For instance, one witness stated
that 60,00000O gallons of industrial
alcohol were being diverted into
Intoxicating liquor every year, miss
ing the truth by nearly 50,000,000
gallons.
The attempt to show that the
United States is land saturated
with illicit liquor is so contrary to
the common observation and COM
mon sense that it falls Immediately
to the ground. These wet drives
have been in periodical progress
since prohibition became effective
and they leave no impression what

judgment and sentiment OF the

They will continue only SO long
as the finances behind them hold
out. They have made no headway
toward the weakening or the modi-
fication OF prohibition laws. II the

SIX YEARS OF PROHIBITION
By Congressman w. D. Upsfaw

By Congressman w. D. Upshaw
Out Of the womb OF our wondrous
past,
Out of a night too dark to last
Free from the chains Of our na-
tons wrong,
We rise today with newborn
song!
The years are six since freedom
came
Legal freedom from liquors shame;
And though the blight OF the
mighty curse
Is sometimes seen in sorrows
hearse,
We thank thee, God, of dawning
light
That law is on the side OF right!
And just as sure as battling truth
Throws guardian arms about our
youth,
Just as sure as now we stand
For God and home and native land
Cowards soon shalt be disowned,
Outlaws soon shall be dethroned
And our stainless flag that cannot
trail
To foreign foe or leaden hail,
Shall conquer with its stars un-
furled,
And lead all flags to a sober world!

Five states are fighting foresf

Boise national forest 100000
acres have been fire swept.
Foresters are conservative, but
they call the situation serious. In
California, Idaho, Nevada, Mon

"assumes a more serious aspect
than at any time in the last de-
cade," the foresters say. Oh yes.
they have them every year.
Twenty-nine million cre were
swept by flames in 1924. 1t is
estimated it would cost three hun
bred million dollars to reforest
this burned-over land and that 1t
take almost three hundred
years to accomplish it at the rate
we are now doing it. There is a
great lesson in knowing how long
takes nature to produce this
chief essential to mans comfort.
In 1924 there were ninety-two
forest fires in the United
States. This was at the rate of
two hundred and fifty every day.
A large percentage of these were
by carelessness of tourists

ARTHUR RYDER
DESERVES SECOND TERM

In his first term as a member
of the last legislature Arthur
Ryder rendered valuable service
to Roosevelt county and richly de-
serves the endorsement of the
people by a second term. Natur-
ally he can be still more valuable
serving a second time, "a fact that
the voters will not overlook. 1t
is scarcely necessary to go at
much length in endorsing Mr..
Ryder. He is a successful farmer
and businessman who enjoys the
confidence and high opinion OF all
who know him.
Pre-primary sentiment In the
east end is that that section Is n
titled to another term for their
representative who made such a
satisfactory record in the last
session. 1t is freely predicted
that he will be one of the two.
candidates for this office to be
nominated on August 3. 1t IS
quite certain that a liberal part
of his vote will come from the
west end, a virtually unanimous
vote at home and large vote in
all parts.

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE GOAT

1t is a most favorable sign when citizens register
interest IN their government, county, state or naUloh'
al. Any sort of interest aroused by any sort OF mo
tive is better than none. Criticism, even that Whlch
is %pOintless, senseleSs, puer1le may serve to Drlng Out
facts that should be publicly circulated But it is
far better that those attempting criticism make their
complaints in specific form, referring to facts and
figures that can be verified from the public records.
Yelled illusions, haZy insinuatiOnS and lnnuendo
may offer opportunities for airing eighteenth cen
tury rhetoric, but they cannot possibly get far to-
ward convincing twentieth century voters that ev-
erything is wrong with their county government.
What taXpaying citizens want is facts, clean cut,
specific facts, not maudlin fancies, Wondering pre-
JUDGES or revengeful stabs in the dark.
There is no county history, originating since
the county seat has been in Wolf Point, 'hidden in
the archives" at the court house. Every fact OF ev-
cry act OF every official is on record and the records
are open for the perusal and investigation of any
voter or any citizen or his agent. The facts may be
repeated and published, figures may be compiled and
compared. The more the better. All they can re-
veal is a clean, honest, judicious management OF the
county business. The various offices are we'll, con-
veniently and economically housed. All parts of the
county are given fair, impartial consideration. The
county Indebtedness has been reduced. The cost
OF carrying on the county affairs has been cut by
many thousands Of dollars. The records prove it
and are open to all investigators.
Fortunately a decidedly major portion of Roose-
welt county gives evidence of being we'll satisfied, at.
present, with the manner in which the county gov
eminent is managed. No complaint has been voiced
from Poplar, from BrOcktOn, from Bainville, from
McCabe or from Froid. At any time when citizens
of any of those progressive, thriving towns or the
communities around them, believe something is
wrong at the county seat, and have constructive
criticism, based on facts, to offer, it will be welcom-
ed and will be needed, considered and applied.
But a goat, by whatever name it is known, isl
still a goat and will continue to bleat. 1t is rare
bird that refuses to be stilled, but persists in butting
the stone wall until the tough and bony structure of
its head is sore and will not heal. 1t is not difficult
to perceive upon what meat our Caesar feeds" 1t
is the mouldy, rotting garbage of the mental gutter.
1t is the remorseful musty memories of a political
career cut short. The cancerous recollections of a
and juicy It's a month that has yielded no juice

they forget. All! If only they could forget.

which deal with law making and

ton declarations of their position
on the issues.
A. w. Huxsol has resided IN this
county for about twenty years.
He is known to a large part Oh tne
people of the county as a success
full businessmen whose ability IS
outstanding and whose public splr-
it has made him a valuable asset
of whatever community was his
home. Mr.. Huxsol has never been
an office seeker and did not seek
this office, deciding to announce
himself only at the urgent re-
quest of the people of his nome
and other communities.
There are other candidates for
this honor and but two can be
elected in the county. Nothing Oh
an adverse nature is intended to-
ward any candidate but the west
end of the county, with a large
share of the population, feels that
it is justly entitled to representa-
ton in the legislature, something
it has never had until the last leg-I
session.
Mr.. Huxsol's candidacy is BEL

JOHN ANDERSON
TRIED AND PROVEN EFFI-
GENT

AS the primary election draws
near voters are, taking time to
cast an eye over the list of candi-
dates. For sheriff they find quite
a list with a number of good men
on it. But at the head of the
list, in the estimation of what is
believed to be a large majority
of the voters, they place the name
Of John Anderson, an officer who
has made a record so good that it
viii keep him in office for anoth-
er term. He has been tried out
for more than three years and
made good on all his promises to
the people. A statement else
where in this paper proves that in
three years he saved the taxpay-
ers nearly $4,000.
His record on all the duties of
his office is clean, in fact he has
been such an official as the voters
can scarcely refuse to again nom
mate and elect. When an officer
has proved efficient in office,
why should the people change for
an untried official. Voters will
be slow to listen to the tales of
fault finders, and it is predicted
that he will receive his usual large
majority drawn from all parts of
the county. An "X" before the
name of John H. Anderson on the
Primary ballot will be a vote well
placed-for economy and law en-
forcement.

JUDGE LEIPER
Dawson County Review

On next Tuesday an opportunity
will be afforded to vote for an
eastern Montana man for one OF
the highest offices in the state.
Judge Frank P. Leiper Of Glen
dive is a candidate for nomination
on the Republican ticket for JUS
tice of the Supreme Court.
Judge Leiper is well known to
the citizens of the Seventh Judi
cial district where he has been
the presiding Judge for the past
six years.
He is well known to be a citi-
zen of the highest ideals, firmest
courage, and strongest character.
His record as a judge is second
to none. With a liberal education
and profound knowledge of the
law, he combines high business
ability and a willingness to work
hard and faithfully. Before ne
became judge of this district he
was engaged in the practice OF
the law for many years and built
UP n of the biggest practices in
the state.
1t is often said that eastern
Montana is never given any con-
sideration in elections or appoint
ments. It is also sometimes SAID
that we receive just about the
consideration we deserve. BY not
hanging together and making and
enforcing demands, we 7 paid
little heed.
Now is an opportunity to hang
together. BY rolling up a ire
nendous vote for Judge Leiper
can assure an eastern Mon
.anan's election to n Of the high
.st offices in our state. Vote fo1
Judge Leiper next Tuesday.
