AN EXAMPLE FOR US

A demonstration of what should have been
done in Montana not long ago was furnished last
week by the faculty of Pacific University of For
est Grove, Ore.
On Wednesday a paper published by the stud
ents appeared carrying an article entitled "In
Defense of Necking" and containing matter which,
in the general opinion of the faculty and the
public, was not only Objectionable but verged
close upon the vulgar and immoral.
DR.. D.. F. Dodds, president of the college, i'm
mediately suppressed the issue, expelled the ed
itOr and makeup man, suspended the assistant
editor and dismissed the staff. Following this
action, he issued an appeal to the students to
stamp out the encouragement of bestiality."
What a contrast is DR.. Dodds' prompt and en-
ergetic dealing with this situation to the wishy-
washy, weakened, Observation-Disclosures course
pursued by Chancellor M. A. Brannon of the
Greater University of Montana and DR.. C. Fl.
Clapp, president of the Missoula unit, in con-
nection with the appearance recently in '"The
Frontier" a student publication produced under
the supervision of Professor Cox, instructor in
creative writing" of matter fully as objection
able, if not more so, than the article in the Oregon
college paper!
In view of this lamentable failure to take a

any Montana parent doubt that the usefulness of
these two men, in the positions they now occupy
has ceased?

WHY THIS DIFFERENCE?

The caption is ours, but the bulk of this edi-
tOrial is from a recent issue of the Twice-a-Week
Spokesman Review.
The facts herewith presented are startling, and
convince US that something is radically wrong.
Says the Review:
"The lower freight rates enjoyed by western
Canadian farmers, in comparison with the much
higher rates paid by farmers in the western Unit
ed States, anne up for discussion in the Canadian
parliament at Ottawa not long ago.
Government officials were questioned, and
J. A. Robb, minister of finance, said that a recent
study had shown that if western Canadian grain
growers had been charged the rates on American
railroads they would have paid out, in 1925,
$50, 10000 0 more than was collected from them.
RATES on eastbOund shipments of wheat from
the Pacific Northwest are exactly twice as great
as on corresponding shipments over the Canadian
pacific and the Canadian National lines. On
westbound shipments of grain from the Canadian
prairies, the rates are but go per cent of those
charged on westbound shipments for correspond
ing distances by the American ranscOntinenta
lines.
'But the western American railroads are not
satisfied with these existing high freight rates.
They are united now in a case before the Inter
state Commerce commission asking for increased
rates on farm products and other commodities
A well-infOrmed news agency at Washington re-
ports that a decision on that case may be expected
before the summer recess in July.
eff the commission should decide against oul
farmers and other producers, it's reasons fol-
authorizing the American railroads to lay still
heavier determinations upon our grain growers
would be read with surprise and interest"
There may be reasons why American trans
continental railroads charge twice as much Al
Canadian transcOntinental lines for the same o.
similar service, but at the risk of exposing ou
ignorance we shall ask to be enlightened.

BUY AT HOME

as it made in America? Is is made in Mon
tana? Is it made at home?
These are three essential questions which every
person should ask himself when he buys any
thing.
made in America" means prosperity for Am
erican wOrkmen and American industries, and
markets for American farmers and producers.
made in Montana means development of the
manufacturing within the state and the develop
ment of it's industrial possibilities, upon which
it's farms must rely for support. 1t means state
wide prosperity.
MADE at home" means that it helps support
the community in which you live, pays taxes
there, pays wages there, and keeps the money it
costs largely at home.
Some things are not made at home; others are
not made in Montana, but virtually everything
is made in America" + +
When one buys something MADE in America
he gets more in return for his money than the
mere article-he gets assurance of a chance to
sell something he produces and he helps main
tain a job for some American workman whose
family is an essential part of our life.
The National Association of Manufacturers has
started a nationwide campaign to stimulate the
buying of American-made goods. Primarily it is
in the interest of American manufacturing-but
beyond that it is a drive for the maintenance of
American standards, American homes, American
freedom, and American prosperity.
In this campaign and it's success every mothers
son and daughter in this great land has a vital,
personal interest.-Havre Daily News-PrOmoter

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-While the
fortunes of war at the coming con-
gressiOnal elections will turn so the
Republicans may lose some seats, the
Democratic claims Of earlier in the
season, that this was to be a great
banner year for the party Of the DON
key, have quoted down.
For the purpose Of the campaign
on the Republican side, there is to
be a complete union, the national COM
mittee under William M. Butler who
swung the Coolidge line in 1924, the
senatorial committee under Senator
Phipps, and the congressional COM
mittee under Congressman Woods OF
Indiana all working together for the
common cause.
AS for the Democrats controlling
the senate, that thought has vanished.
The Democrats must gain 10 seats to
control the senate, and this they can
not dc. Should they carry five pos
sible states, , they would have only
A senators to 81 for the Republi-
cans, a nominal Republican majority.
The % states where no change is in
dicated include Massachusetts, and
New York, where the contests will be
particularly hot. But should the par,
ty in these two Unexpectedly win, il
still would fall short Of control
Should it gain two more, a total OF
nine, the senate might be tied, and
!the vote of the vice-president, should
the Farmer-Labor senator, Shipstead
go with the minority to make a tie
would overcome that and give the
Republicans a majority Of one. But
when goes that far, it would be
just as if one should sOberly specu-
Late as to whether or not the moor
is made Of green cheese.

FOREIGN

WASHINGTON, D. CT has been
a long and a hard pull to impress on
the American businessman and the
American farmer that American for
eign representation was a necessity
and not merely a luxury. The pro
duciOn Of surplus crops has made
plain to the onloOker that to sell
goods abroad you need machinery
and first Of all United States govern
ment representation. The diplomatic
corps Of the state department and the
commercial attache under Secretary
Hoover, have finally escaped and
have become disclosed to the people
Of the country as business rather than
as social agents. They have lost their
tea-drinking titles, nd become bust
ness people.
As evidence Of the new situation,
it Is worth recording that at the pres
ent time congress is considering, in
deed the house has already passed
the measure, a bill introduced by
HOch of Kansas, which definitely es-
tablishes the status Of the CONNER
cial attache who serves our nation
abroad. This measure is one of the
most important which has been in
PRODUCED in congress. A suggestion
has been made in the senate that IL
may be amended so that the COM
mercial attaches will be made subject
to senatorial confirmation. Some
thing may be said on both sides Of
this question, but with a congress
anxious to adjourn, it is to be hoped
that the bill viii be passed as it went
through the house. At the present
time these gentlemen are under civil
service rules and regulations, and a
fine question as to whether they
should be given a full diplomatic
status such as senate confirmation
would confer IN them is n Of those
things which may create a conflict
between house and senate, and thus
defeat the passage of the bill at this
session, which is an alternative that
should be avoided under all condi-
tiOns.

eumstsncesl which influenced him
speaking to the Democratic Co
workers in Massachusetts, he told
them to advise the people Of the state
and Of the nation that a vote for
Walsh was a vote against Coolidge,
and that they must bear that thought
in mind, and emphasize it.
Even before he left Boston after
having electrified and dismayed his
audience with this declaration, there
was a Democratic lodge Of sorrow
held to discuss the best way out Of.
the situation which the governor had
created. AS a result the Boston
"POst'' editorially announced that a
vote for Walsh was not a vote
against Coolidge, and that it was a
shame to introduce such a thought
into the contest. AS the "POst''
editorial ran, it all but made out that
a vote for Walsh was the one par
ticular way in which to show con-
fidence in Coolidge, a line of reason
ing picturesque if not effective. From
now on we are apt to receive a vari-
ETY. Of explanations as to how the
governor happened to slop over, but
