Stephenson will make another bid for
freedom from life term for murder

Stephenson appealed to the federal

constitution He averred the convic-

gress with them. Five years from now there will
be thousands of aviators, most of whom will have
been trained by these pioneers.
The life of the commercial airman will be a
pleasant one. What fellow with any heart for
adventure and with red blood in his veins can
resist the temptation of speeding through the
air? The life is the cleanest and healthiest that
could be imagined just the profession for the
man who loves the great outdoors. The duties of
present-day automobile chauffeurs are far more
strenuous than would be flying three or four hours
every other day.
In the near and wonderful future of the air
plane an afternoon spin from New York City to
Cuba will be common occurrence or to South
America on a weekend flight. And the pilot will
no longer be rugged out like an Arctic explorer,
unnecessarily exposed to cutting head wind and
the roar of his engine. He will sit at ease in an
enclosed cabin which is electrically lighted and
heated, with his controls at hand, and will be
under no greater mental and nervous strain than
the driver of an automobile or the man at the
wheel of a ship at sea.
The faint-hearted public will, of course, con-
tinue to look upon airplane accidents with fear
and trembling. But the reasoning public-and
naturally some quality of courage must enter into
all good human reasoning-will recognize that in
flying there always will be accidents and that in
it's present stage-its infancy-there is greater
proportion of accidents than will prove to be the
normal. Any man who wants permanent life
insurance against death needs to be an immortal
for he doesn't belong on this planet
A few people always will seek to prolong life
by refusing the thrills of living dangerously They
will not go up in the air. nor out on the sea, no.
ride horses, nor be carried by automobiles. Bu
they are few. The average man is not deatl
dodger; he trusts his existence to the usual risk
of life. 1t would be miserable to live otherwise

Al HEAVY CALENDAR

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Fed
eral Trade commission at Washington
is one Of those unhappy, semi-execu-
tive bodies which apparently is
doomed to be blamed equally for what

On one side certain business groups
are in a continual state of indigna-
tiOn over what they style as the Paul
Pry activities of the organization,
while again steady roar of COM
plant can be heard from those who
argue that the commission ignores
certain issues which it should investi-
gate and of course find it guilty with
out further delay.
1nas much as the commission at the
present time is engaged on nine ma

COLDS AND CLEANLINESS

How many colds are you going to ''catch" this
winter? And after you have caught one, how
generous are you going to be in passing it on to
others? These are important questions at this
season of the year.
The answers may be found, to large extent,
declares DR.. w. w. Peter, internationally known
health educator, in the careful observance or
neglect of proper sanitary and cleanliness
standards. Dr. Peter, who is noted for his graphic
presentation of health problems, issues warning
against the walking transmitters" who broad
cast this common infection.
What is a cold?" he asks. '"The very word is
a misnOmer We use it because it was handed
down to us and not because it is caused by cold
temperature, just as coughing and sneezing may
have led the Chinese to say they had Caught
the wind"
Colds are communicable from person to per-
son, just as are typhoid fever, diphtheria and a
host of other diseases. Most persons indulge in
from one to three colds year. The number of
population at one time"
One of the first rules of cold prevention, DR..
Peter points out, is to avoid infection, through
the most scrupulOus cleanliness If you must
shake hands with those suffering from colds, be
sure to wash your own hands afterwards. Keep
away from common drinking cups dirty dishes,
roller towels pipes, pencils and other objects con-
taminated with fresh secretions Maintain as
high an internal resistance against infectious
agents as you can by daily attention to bodily
cleanliness, exercise, rest and diet.
But if you do get a cold, despite all precautions
don't become a walking transmitter of disease
germs by mingling in crowds or appearing ir
public places, particularly in the sneezing anC
coughing stages of the infection, DR.. Peter warns
Be your own policeman.

congressman to curb their own de-
sires for expenditures out of the pub
lie funds.
There is a fine, patriotic obligation
resting upon all of US to sustain the
president so that the reduction Of the
debt can be made as large as pos
sible. Debt reduction, it must be re-
membered, means permanent tax re-
duction! Last year the taxpayers
paid seven hundred and ninety dol
ars interest on the public debt. BY
reason of last years debt reduction,
the tax payers have been relieved of
forty million dollars worth of inter-
est charges which is a permanent saw
ing. Whether money is borrowed by
an individual or a nation, the borrow
er has to pay the price, and the only
way to rid the burden is by disposing
of the original debt.
Our public debt is still eighteen and
a half billion dollars, a staggering to.
tai even for a rich and prosperous
! country.

MORE CARE AND LESS SPEED

Several automobile accidents, two of them re-
sulting in fatalities, in Bozeman and vicinity in
the last week or ten days have directed local
attention to the rapidly increasing danger in
traffic on our streets and highways.
We have no desire to write word of criticism
or condemnation of any person, but we do wish
to emphasize, for the benefit of motorists, that
little more care and little less speed will result
in reducing the percentage Of accidents, serious
or otherwise, that seem destined to occur.
No amount of time saved, no sum of money we
may be able to give, no evidences of grief or
expressions of remorse can ever erase from the
consciousness the memory of life taken or a
body crippled as a result of one of these unfor-
tunate occurrences. Neither can we forget that
a little more care or a little less speed might have
prevented what we so sincerely regret.
1t is not enough to be certain, when we drive
that we are within the law. Our personal re-
sponsibility extends for beyond the limits set BY
the statutes. Upon the shoulders of each anC
every one of us rests not only our own safety
but the safety of others who have as much righ
to use the streets and highways as have we Th
duty Of safeguarding life and limb compels u
to take every possible precaution. And if tha
precautiOn reduces our speed from 80 to 20 mile
and hour, or. brings us to full stop once in
while, it is time and effort well spent.
Nor does the responsibility for being caution
rest upon the motorist alone. The pedestrian
equally bound to protect himself. He has n
right to place himself, through his own negigenC
or lack of fOrethought, in danger. Such careless
ness is not only foolish, but unfair If he is struc
the motOrist, although perhaps blameless, will
necessity suffer great mental anguish The pede
trian must share with his brother, the car drive

THE CATERPILLAR" TRACTOR

It is nothing new for an American invention or
product to be given world acclaim and use 1t is
becoming the usual thing. A recent issue of the
Caterpillar Magazine" shows, in series of photo
graphs, the story of of our industrial romances
that of the tractor.
The track-type tractors efficiency for any kind
of rough h-and-ready use first came to the worlds
attention during the war, when it hauled guns
through mud and over precipitous mountains and
swept, in the role of a tank-a Caterpillar" with
a tin hat-across trenches and entanglements
That was it's war work. And then, back from the
war and with hat and coat off, it went to work
and has proved invaluable in time of peace. Many
of the boys who few years ago were guiding
slush-spattered, death-dealing tank through the
battlefields of France are today directing it's
peaceful brother while it builds roads through
once-impassable territory, or moves tons of ma
chinery to a new power plant or factory, or ac-
cOmplishes hundreds of other hard tasks
/ The modern farmer in this country has learned
the value of the tractor as one of the greatest
progressive agricultural steps, comparable to the
invention of the cotton gin and combine harves-
ter. And all over the world this strictly American
product has been received with the same enthus
iasm and for a multitude of uses. It cultivates
the rice fields of Japan, works on sugar land il
British Guiana, builds roads in Uruguay, make.
a golf course in England, and in Hawaii clears
acres of cactus-cOvered land once useless, to maxi
way for pineapple planting.
The caterpillar" tractor is an American com
: : modify with world story and an internations
romance.

beginning, the Republican party has
made eighteen presidential nOmina-
tiOns.
Thirteen nominees were taken from
the Mississippi valley, one from the
Pacific coast, and four from the East.
Of the eastern fear, two were from
New York, and two from New Eng
land. Roosevelt from New York and
Coolidge from Massachusetts were
successful; Blaine and Hughes, the
other Eastern men, were defeated. Of
the thirteen from the Mississippi val
ley, only two were defeated; Harrison
and Taft. Both, however, had pre-
viously won their first entries.
The Democrats IT. the last eighteen,
races have gone to the Mississippi
valley only four times. They nOmi-
mated Bryan three times, and Cox
once. Both were defeated. Thus while
the Mississippi valley has spelled
success for the Republicans, it has
meant defeat for the Democrats. But
the Democrats succeeded five times
In Eastern territory, and elected Bu-
chanan of Pennsylvania, Cleveland
from New York twice and Wilson
from New Jersey twice.

Ocrats have gone south of the Mason

we assume however, that the Demo-
cratic party began with Jefferson, for
nine successive times the Democrats
chose their candidates from the South.
Then came Van Buren, from the
North. and again they went south for

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Demo-
Gratis can plan and talk all they
please about the abolition of the two
third rule as a requisite for presi-
Dental nominations, but the old rule
will control the 1923 Democratic con-
vention. Ordinarily, the Democrats
have been very chary about airing
their views on this subject in public.
But this year apparently they have
decided that it is a vastly safer topic
than the personality of their possible
candidates. Their theory in this in
stance no doubt is that if Democratic
tongues can be kept wagging over the
rule, they will not have any time for
acrimonious discussion over the weak
