WHAT CONGRESS WANTS

WASHINGTON, D. c. Congress
in December will be brought face to
face with bOyhood problem, namely:
How to have your cake and eat it.
Congress wants tax reduction COB
of it. Congress wants the Coolidge
program of economy and efficiency
carried out and continued, but con-
gressmen want Boulder dam. They
want Muscle Shoals, a gold-plated
merchant marine, the Great Lakes
waterway, millions for flood relief,
and certain group want a flock Of
new ten million dollar cruisers.
The hitch is of course that these
things call for money-large sums of
money-and while the treasury is in
a reasonably healthy state, no way
has yet been discovered by which the
ten million dollars used to build a
cruiser can be applied to the national
debt. It remains to be seen whether
congress will demand pie or will be
content with a cornbeef and cabbage
expenditure diet.

THAT NEW HOTEL

Just now Bozeman is taking an important step
in her civic and material progress-the expanding
of accommodations for strangers within her gates
by the erection of strictly modern, cOmmodious
and weIl-appOinted hotel.
The enterprise is solely community one orig
mated and conducted by group of BOzeman busi-
ness men. A well-planned and vigorous cOmpaign
to raise the necessary money is now under way.
Already a substantial portion of the sum needed
has been pledged Every day brings additions to
the fund. There is every indication that the pro-
posed hostelry will be financed and built without
difficulty-in fact, it now seems assured.
This is no time to hang back and ask: 'Does
BOzeman need a new hotel" That was deter
mined long ago. A thorough survey showed that
most people believe such hotel is needed and
that this city should have it. The only question
is as to how much each Individual can invest
Some have no spare cash; those who have should
buy as much stock as they can.
If Bozeman is to make, within the next few
years, the progress she should and that we hope
she will, an expansion of her hotel accommoda-
tiOns is imperative Lack of such facilities is a
serious handicap. The proposed hotel financed
by the community and operated by competent
manager under lease, should not only prove a
safe investment but profitable one. Other COM
munity hotels in the West have paid dividends
there is no reason to say in advance that this
one will not
There also is ground for the belief that new,
modern hotel will bring more transients to Boze-
man, and act as a stimulus to business and
finance. The experience of other cities has been
that added hotel facilities have not reduced the
volume of trade of existing like institutions. On
the contrary an increase has generally been noted
with consequent benefits all down the line. Nc
city of today with an up-to-date hotel would even
consider being without one.
We believe that the movement for new hote
here is timely, honestly handled, and worthy ot
success. Civic pride as well as opportunity fol
safe investment and profit should influence peo
pie who have money to do as much as they cal
to help. After the community hotel is built ant
has become an object of pride and a civic ant
social center, everyone will be glad that Bozemal
had men of sufficient vision and energy to max
it a reality.

CARAWAY'S PROPOSAL.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Senator
Caraway, who between times, if not
all the time, aspires to be known as
the Moses of the Democratic party.
has turned thumbs down on all sug-
gestiOns that the national Democrats
fOregather in Chicago, st. Louis or
certain other pOpulous centers large
enough to allow the wet and dry
Democrats to pursue their respective
ways and practices without humping
into one another. The senator be-
lieves that Charlottesville, Va, the
former home of Thomas jefferson,
would be the ideal place. In this hall
lowed atmosphere he believes the
Democrats might bark back to first
principles (prOvided of course they
could agree on them) and with fast
ing and prayer and far away from
bands and boosters pick their burnt
offering for the 1928 election.
The senator is right. True, in Char
lottesville the arrival of the Demo-
cratic hosts in the center of this TO-
600 population community might ere
/ ate some excitement. but provided the
! convention tent can be pitched in the
town graveyard with the assembled
delegates resting on tombs and grave
stone heads the atmosphere and en-
vironment is Of the kind to develop
the exact line of thought which the
Democrats most need.
Caraway, with Tom Heflin and Pat
Harrison, should agree to keep away,
for peace and harmony with them
present would be impossible, but Car
raway should reflect with satisfac-
tion that the original Moses was also
denied the right Of entry into the
promised land. All up for Charlottes-
vile, the selection is ideal! If not,
of course JonesbOro. Arkansas, from
which Caraway halls, is holding it's
10000 arms open to the faithful.

first heard the sound at the depot" said Sheriff
Slaughter, 1--WE could have been down there in an
hour and caught the crooks in a pocket"
1t is to laugh. 1t is true that if every crime
could be reported in advance to the sheriffs Of
fice that official might get there and make an
arrest. But Mr.. Slaughter's strained excuse for
his pitiable failure to track down and arrest the
burglars is only about five per cent correct. The
remainder is pure fiction, and is not only unjust
and unfair to the telephone operator in question,
but to the company for which she works Investi-
cation has shown that what actually happened
was this:
The operator, who sleeps at the exchange, was
awakened about 1 a. m. by a signal on the board.
Plugging in, she asked for number but received
no reply. She heard no voices, nor did she hear
any sound like that of an explosion. She did,
however, hear noise which she describes cas- if
someone were chopping wood" After listening
to this for two or three minutes, she decided that
hoboes had gathered at the depot and might be
up to some mischief. Immediately she rang De-
putty Sheriff Tom Wheeler's home. She could
raise no one there so she switched on the police
light.
There was no reason for her to assume that a
safe blowing was in progress at the Northern
Pacific station. She heard no voices no explosion.
When the ticket office is closed for the night the
telephone, for the accommodation of late incoming
passengers, is placed on a shelf outside the
window The building itself is not locked Several
times during the summer tramps have made it a
rendezvous, and on one or two such occasions the
telephone has been disturbed. In each instance
the operator on duty, after attempting to obtain
reply, has notified the city authorities.
Saturday morning when the signal came in and
no one answered her inquiry, the operator as
sumed that ordinary tramps were again the
cause. After failing to raise the deputy sheriff
she switched on the police light noted that the
red control globe in her office was burning anC
presumed that the officer would take care
of the matter. She did not know that the globe
on the pole outside had been burned out for more
than a month, and that the city authorities haC
l neglected to correct the defect. The splendiC
Ipublic service record of telephone operators al
over the country is evidence that if this girl ha
4 suspected burglary was in progress, she woul'
have called everybody in the county, if necessary
to spread the alarm.
l Sheriff Slaughter, who admits that he did no
:, even visit the scene of the crime the fo1owin
t day, but sent his undersheriff instead, canno
e crawl out from under the load of responsibiit
e to the taxpayers he bears by shifting it to tn
p shoulders of telephone girl. He must assum
k whatever blame there is, for the people will nc
be fooled.

AMONG THE CANDIDATES.

AMONG THE CANDIDATES"
WASHINGTON D. C.-The news
paper correspondents in the Capital
city are still contributing most of the
facts and figures relative to the Re-
publican presidential contest. The
Candidates" if it is possible to use
that word, are all as dumb as the
proverbial oyster. That various
boOms are in the making is not to be
denied, but the promoters are unof-
ficial. The recent declaration of
Senator George Moses for Hoover, for
example, was a spontaneous move on
the part of the senator, and was no
part of an official plan or program.
The same statement can be made
with regard to reports which are now
constantly reaching Washington that
political scouts are traversing the
Southland seeking delegates for the
men whose names have been present
ed as candidates. That considerable
scouting is being done in the south
ern states is not to be denied, but it
can be said, positively and authori-
tatively, that no one of these scouts
can produce any authorization from
any Of the candidates for the work
in which he is engaged.
These gentlemen are simply tax
ing a flyer in the political stock
market, with the hope that if they
succeed in corralling any possible
delegates their activities will be later
recognized to their own personal
profit and distinction. It can be hon
estly said that each and every one

fight with Jack Dempsey, and
already in fine physical condition. he
intends to work up carefully to the
peak.
Rocky Stone, Boston heavyweight,
was the only sparring partner on

action yesterday. Sharkey said his
wind was good and logged miles
through Central Park just to prove
IL before he went to gymnasium
for a session with the punching bags
and a few rounds of shadow boxing.
Radiating confidence. Sharkey said
he would have to take off only 3
mounds between now and the day of
the fight, when he intends to weigh
1872. He will crowd more action into
his workouts hereafter, but he be-
lieves he can almost coast through
the next 10 days and taper down to
absolute fitness.
Sharkey has been In fighting con-
ditiOn since last Summer. when he
began the assault that led him
upward toward the championship
chance.
His training problem has been
simplified because of that active cam
paign. Johnny Beckley, his manager,
intends to have the really hard work
all over several days before the
Dempsey battle. so that Sharkey can
enter the ring with his full strength.
With that in mind Sharkey expects
to speed up against about eight
sparring partners for a week or so

University of Maryland foot ball,
track and basket ball star, will be
offered the position of athletic coach
at Gallaudet College to succeed Teddy
Hughes. popular mentor there for a
number of years. Hughes, upon the
advice of his physician, will not
return to the Kendall Green school
this Fall. He is recuperating on his
farm in Nebraska from nervous
breakdown suffered at the end of the
base ball season.
Announcement that Supplee was to
be rendered the post was made by
Dave Peikoff, manager of the 1927
foot ball team, who has been given
the job of finding Hughes successor.
Gallaudet alumni are understood to
favor Supplee as an all-year coach.
The former Old Line school athlete
assumed charge of the Kendall Green
ers track team this Spring and did
we'll with it. He would also take
over foot ball, base ball and basket
ball.
That Hughes will not return this
Fall is regretted by the Gallaudet
students, with whom he was eX.
tremely popular, as well as all with
whom he came in contact in local
sport circles. Against big difficulties
he has filled the post at Kendall
Green in most acceptable style.
Facing the new mentor will be the
task of virtually rebuilding the foot
ball and base ball teams, but the job
of developing a clever basket ball
quint should not be so difficult as
most of last Winters players will
again be at hand.
