(COnC1nued from rage One)
Mrs. White, before her marriage
Miss Pamley Roberts, was born Sep
TENDER 26, 1841, in Cornwall, Eng
land. At the age of eight years she
came, with her parents, to the United
States, settling at White Oak, Wis,
near the Illinois state line. June Is,
1868, she was married to John White,
also a native of Cornwall but who
was then living in 10 Davies county,
Illinois.
Mr.. White crossed the plains in
1854, locating at Alder Gulch where
he remained for several months. In
1865, however, he decided to take
up a ranch in the Madison valley.
Accordingly he returned to Wiscon-
sin for Mrs. White, making the trip
on horseback, and in 1866 they, with
a small party, set out for Montana.
After an arduous journey, they
reached the Madison and located
about seven miles from the old town
Of Gallatin City, where they engaged
in farming until 1881. In that year
they sold their Madison ranch anc
purchased what was known as the
Joseph Kent property south Of Man
haitian. They moved to Bozeman in
1902, retaining, however, their farm
ing interests. Mr.. White died May
2, 1920. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Whit;
were members Of the Pioneers SCci-
ETY. Of Gallatin County and at one
time Of the Society Of Montana Pho
neers.
Mrs. White is survived by four soni

endeavored to float down the creek
while a companion summoned aid.
A Mr.. Waite, living nearby, respond

hands of the public roads bureau for
approval, but to date no action up
on it has been taken. If it should be
approved, the county commissioners
would proceed with that much Of the
work, leaving the remainder Of the
project to be authorized by the voters.
At the meeting it developed that
while city officials and representa-
tives Of the Chamber Of Commerce
were strongly in favor Of the city's
building that portion of the read with
in its limits, there is a sharp differ
ence Of opinion relative to the power
Of the city commissioners to expend
the money necessary. George Pease,
ciDy attorney, declared that he did
not believe that the city commission
ers had authority to expend so large
a sum, $4,000, for such a purpose,
either by inclusion in a regular budg-
ct Or by the passing Of an amend
ment to the budget, AMI suggested
that the matter be taken into court
for a final determination.
On the other hand, Judge W. S.
Hartman and Attorney Roy NJ. Keis-
ter, speaking for the Chamber Of
Commerce committee, expressed a
belief that the necessary power to
appropriate and expend the money
has been conferred upon the commits
sion by the act providing for the
city manager plan Of government.
They suggested that inasmuch as the
county's project cannot be put
through in its entirety this year, the
appropriation for the city's share be
included in the 1927 budget, or that
an amendment to the 1926 budget be
made.
All Will Cooperate
There was considerable discussion
Of the problem in all it's aspects and
while differences Of opinion as to the
construction and scope of the law
were in evidence, there was unani-
nous agreement upon the necessity
for the new road. Mr.. Pease said he
could not conscientiously advise the
city commissioners to proceed with
cut some determination by the SD
pTeme court of their power to act
In such a matter. Mr.. Hartman and
Nh. Keister, while holding an oppo-
Z site opinion on the statute, expressed

More than pleasant is the role which Harley
Clarke is casting for himself before the city officials
Tor Clarke is Offering to the city the siza-
bic sum Of $15O,OO0 year upon it's street lights
Were that all of the story, it would make more
than pleasant reading, for it would mark Something
new in utility history Most utility men want more
and not less money.
Clarke is the man who is asking the public
service commission for permission to combine the
two electric light plants, which is good thing, and
to issue ifty-fve millions of dollars of stocks and
bonds on which the public must pay interest, which
is bad thing
The fact that Clarke presumes to speak with
authority for the insult Lighting Company and to
bind it's future suggests that hereafter the city and
the 10000 users of power and light must deal with
Mr. Clarke.
Apparently the only question is whether the

larger one.

What America Did

When the American marines left
Nicaragua on Aug. 3. 1925. after
having been stationed there for
thirteen years, DR.. Carlos Solarzano
was president of the republic.
He had been elected as a Liberal
candidate at the preceding November
election by large majority.
In October. 1925, two months after
the American Marines had left,
General Chamcrro. who had opposed
| Solarzano as a conservative, staged
a military coup and overthrow the
government. After remaining in
control Of affairs for some time, he
made Senator Sebastian Uriza tenn
porary president. and a later the
Congress elected Adolfo Diaz.
In recognizing this Adolfo Diaz
the United States has sanctioned a
government born OF military
pressure and established by proc.
esses that are Of doubtful legality
More than that. It has turned its
back on a government that was
authorized by popular election. while
its own American Marines were
| present to see that the voting was
straight.

chubby cheerful man with a wistful smile,
possessed Of great fortune, long experienced in
politics, it would that he had all the elements
that make for political power. Yet he hadn't. The
principal monument to his career In the public mind,
probably will be the coming bitter battle over the
seat his death vacates
Mckinley represented money in the Senate
Frankly unashamed, he held the point of view of
great capitalists. No citizen of Illinois needed
vote for him under misconception Of what he stood
fer Since the people of his State knew what they
were voting for when they sent him to the House
and later to the Senate he was privileged to hold
his head as high any in Washington. A utility
magnate of considerable consequence he represent
ed the desires and opinions Of his class and could
not be criticised for so doing.
Why, then, the outcry that has followed the dis
covery that his successor-the man who defeated him
in the summer primary-enters the Senate as the
agent Of the gas, light traction and power inter-
ests? The answer is very simple:
Frank L. Smith was chairman of the State board
which has supervision and control over these utility
corporations in Illinois. He had been chosen to rep
resent the peoples interests to protect them against
encroachments by the utilities But investigation
following his victory over Mckinley revealed that
his campaign expenses had been borne in large part
by the very interests he was employed to watch One
utility magnate alone had given $125 900 aid him.
The sncerest tribute to the integrity of the Sen
ator who died Tuesday evening may be found, per-
haps in the fact that he rejected by the men of
his own class in favor Of Smith. McKinley's views
being their views his friends being their friends

Manufactured News

Having taken the stand 1t cid, you
can't blame the State Department
for wanting such stories published
as would lend a decent color to it's
attitude.
1t was in obvious need of manu-
featured news. So far as facts went,
there weren't any Of sufficient i'm
portance to convince the American
people that this government should
go out of its way to bolster up the
fortunes of Adolfo Diaz of Nicaragua
or to injure those of President
Gales in Mexico.
Under such circumstances, it was
no more than natural for an official
Of the State Department to call in
Representatives of the great news
services with the idea of persuading
them to assist. But it is a duty of
great news. services to weigh the
value Of information as we'll as to
gather it.
Somebody has said that the wise
editor is the one who knows what
not to print.

have swallowed what Mr.. Odds Of
fered without qualm or scruple. The

Service were more canny.

THE MEXICAN PLOT THICKENS

The Mexican-Amercan crisis became shaoe
graver yesterday upon receipt Of news from Central
America.
President Gales of Mexico United Press mes
sage stated has recognized the REBEL or LIBERAL gov
eminent of Nicaragua, and forthwith appointed
thereto duly accredited diplomatic representative
with the rank of minister
This action comes hot on the heels Of Washing
toms recognition Of the new conservative Diaz gov
eminent at Managua. Thus Mexico and the United
States are now definitely and dangerously at Odds
their conflicting LatinAmerican policies materially
enhancing the danger of situation already serious
thanks to the heated quarrel over Mexicos new Oil
and land laws.
The Administrators Latin-American diplomacy
seems drifting from bad to worse. This latest adj
venture bids fair to leave prestige lower than
ever for, sad to relate, 1t looks very much as If
Mexico's thesis is nearer right than ours.
To understand the situation 1t is necessary to
recall that the head of the liberal government of
Nicaragua Dr. Juan Bautista Sacasa, just recognized
by Mexico though liberal, vice president in the
conservative administration of President Solorzano
whose regime was recognized by the United States.
Last year, however, Emiliano Chamorro, for
mer president, by coup d etat managed to return
the presidency. This he accomplished by forcing
Solorzano to resign, then having Congress-rejig
gered by the little wirepuller himself for the
sion-prefer charges of some sort other against
Vice President Sacasa, technically dsqualifying him
for president.
But Chamorro never recognized by the
uuited States So when he found he could not make
the grade against the opposition of Washington and
resigned, it natural to suppose that the situa-
ton would automatically revert to the status quo
at the time Of his coup In other words back to the
Solorzano-Sacasa regime Of 1925. Soorzano having
resigned, the constitutional president of Nicaragua
would now seem to be DR.. Sacasa
Which is exactly what DR.. Sacasa claims to be-
the legal and only constitutional head of the Mica
raguan republic.
But Washington, for reasons of its own reasoned
the thing out differently
After Chamorro quit office a certain Senator
Uriza the second presidential designate, sat in as
provisional president, and under the watchful eye
Of Washington, called Congress to meet and elect
regular president. The conservative Senior Diaz
was chosen and was Immediately recognized by the
United States Ncaraguan liberals claim Diaz
knows his way about Wall Street without guide
There you have 1.-TWO governments of Nicara-
qua, one backed by the United States the other by
Mexico 1t is situation full of possibilities to say
the least.
Decidedly the plot thickens

Mexican President Calls
Bluff of American State
Department,
BY Nj. E. Tracy


There are two governments in
Nicaragua, If such they may be
called. The United States has rec
ognized one and Mexico the other.
This represents new order OF
things in Latin-America. For the
first time in many years Washing
ton finds its right to run the show
disputed.
Secretary Kellogg and his advisers
are said to be worried. and we'll they
may, but at that they have gotten
no more than was coming to them.
President Gales has merely picked
up the gauntlet they threw down, &C.
copied the game as we'll as the name.
Our State Department warned
him not to interfere and the Asso-
ciated Press pictured him as an
apostle of bolshevism. The bright
idea was to scare him of so that
Adolfo Diaz would be left free to
make Nicaragua safe for American
interests.
Gales didn't scare worth a cent.
He not only laughed in the State De-
partment's face, but recognized the
Sacasa faction.
There is a real issue here which
goes to the bowels OF our attitude
toward Latin-America. and which
must be cleared up before cordial
relations between the United States
and her sister republics in the west
ern world can be established on a
firm basis.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-12-09
For Big Business

Apart from the fact that Adolfo
Diaz is safe and conservative
enough 20 satisfy big business
while Sacasa is too liberal for its
liking, the United States has no ex-
cuse for recognizing the former, and
IL this is an excuse. the policies and
announcements of a century have
been reversed.
II the United States has pretend
ed to frown on one thing more than
another in Latin-Amercan, it is on
government by revolution. 1t was
for no other reason than this that
Wilson bounded Huerta out OF Mex
leo.
Yet now we behold the State De-
partmsnt not only sanctioning a
government by revolution in Mica
ragua. but one of its high officials
limiting at bolshevism as a pretext
for turning down the constitutional
government.
What is worse, we find the Asso-
ciated Press picking up his hint and
converting 1t into a story which the
ordinary man would accept as au-
thoritative.
