IN OUR FIFTY-EIGHTH YEAR

With this issue The Courier begins its 58th
year of service to BOzeman and the Gallatin valley
Looking back over the record of the past we
feel gratified to note that since its founding The
Courier has ever been enlisted on the side of bet
terment of progress, and of looking to the future
It's policy has been dictated by a realization of
certain obligations to it's patrons and to the COM
munity in which it is published, and it has en-
deavOred to discharge them to the best of it's
ability.
A newspaper, like any other human product, is
not perfect It's faults, however, can be honest
ones. The Courier has tried to be honest and fair
to present news as the best and most unbiased
information at its disposal and editorials as ex
pressiOns of opinion based upon honest judgment
1t has no apology to make for it's politics, which
is staunchy Republican.
The COurier's newspaper ideals are high, ant
1t is always striving for better things in that line
The public is the best Judge of its success. AM
at the end of another active and prosperous yea
filled with achievements of more or less moment
The Courier extends thanks to those who have S
generously supported it and voices the hope tina
1t will continue to merit that support

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT IN OUR
COMMUNITY

The spirit of Christmas is more than spirit
of giving 1t is more than mere exchange of
material things. 1t is matter of spiritual values
a sort of glorified combination of the realization
that 'the gift without the giver is BARE" the re-
solution to "dO unto others as you would have
them do unto yOu" and the desire for peace on
EARTH good will to men," Especially should this
be true of the Christmas spirit in our community
When we have planned for the gifts that we are
to give to members of our families and to our
friends, we must not forget that there is another
which should receive a gift from us. 1t is our
community Our gift to our community should
be one of good citizenship, by having an active
interest in affairs of government, by aiding the
board Of education and teachers in maintaining
the highest standards of education in our schools,
by actively supporting our churches, by centering
all of trading activities here, by taking pride
in the appearance of our homes, our yards, our
streets and our parks; by being active proponents,
and not obstructiOnists, of any movement which
will make town a better place in which to
live-in short, by building up our community in
every possible way For the one best gift to our
community is cooperation.
And when we have given this to our community,
let us not forget the gift as soon as the holiday
season is over. Instead let us carry over the
Christmas spirit into every day of the year, so
that each succeeding Christmas will be happier
one for all of us because each has done his share
in giving community all the good things of
life.

HISTORIC UNDERTAKING.
From the Helena Independent

Among the current historic muckrakers of the |
country Rupert Hughes is one of the most
assiduOus and painstaking He has made the !
front pages again by new attack upon Washing
ton and Americans, soldiers and civilians, of
Revolutionary days. No doubt Hughes is making
money out of his books. Probably some people
who read them secure some return for the price
But while there is something of a mania today
among the wild-eyed literati and their sympath-
iers to revise history downward and rake up every
thing discreditable to the country and its people
in the past, nothing, of course, is gained by it.
No doubt the early historians, deciding to put
good front on American history, painted Amer
leans, virtues in notable colors and forgot to say
anything about their faults and failings. The
muckrakers of history today are going just as
far the other way in setting out the sins and
weaknesses of the past as the whole story. They
parade the back yard, the alley and the broken
windows, but overlook the building which was
all the ideaistic historians of the past could see.
Neither gave the whole premises lighting, yet
of the two the idealists present the better and
! truer picture.
| 1t may be that the Revolutionary army con-
tanned soldiers who thought no better, perhaps of
their country than Rupert Hughes and his tribe
OF historic mud thrOwers, and they laid down on
Uncle Sam in the same fashion. But the colonies
won the war. Washington may have gone in
strong for the broad sports of his day. Neverthe-
less he was a fairly good soldier and very great
! man. Moreover, he led the colonies through
war that established this nation, and search az
Hughes may, his craftsmanship and integrity
stand untouched.
Hughes and his ilk should write about th
United States as it is today. They could turn on
excellent histories such as they are producing O
d the past by describing Chicago crime, politics
r bOotlegging and like aspects of the life of toda
t, as correctly representing the American people
o Such history would be just as true of today a
It the stuff they write of Washington and RevoIu
tiOnary days is of yesterday Nobody should tax
the undertaking historians, so-calIed, seriously
They are making money by purveying poor sol
of reading matter, but it doesn't mean anythin,

1873 for Hughes and 166 for Dawes.
The report indicates that Governor Lowden's
strength is chiefly concentrated in dozen states,
while that of Hoover, Hughes and Dawes is more
widely scattered According toe the Republican
editors the only real rival AL Smith has for the
Democratic nomination is Senator Reed of Mis-

PARTY CHIEFs GATHERING.

Washington, D. C,-Once again
from all over the cOuntry-from Porto
Rico, the Philippines, Alaska, the Ha-
waiian Islands and the Canal Zone
the officers and members of the Re
publican National committee are max
ing their way into Washington for
their quadrennial meeting at which
they fix the date, the ratio of appoint
ment and the place where the national
convention will be held.
While these national committee
members are supreme in their author,
ity, they hold their power not by ap-
pointment, as so many think, but by
a natural process of selection, by the
party men and women in the several
states. National committeeman and
women are really the capstOnes' Of
political activities, and those who oc-
cupy these positions obtain this dis
tinction after a long period Of ap-
premiership.
Party organization begins at the
very bottom. First of all, there is a
village, township and in certain large
cities even committees which originate
within city blocks. Next in line comes
the organization Of city committees
and in the rural sections town COM
mittees. Higher in the scale the
county committee exists with its own
chairman duly and properly elected.
And all of these village and precinct
and block and town and citv commit
tees are represented in a state COM
mittee.
Up to this point. while all these
minor political organizations have
very distinct and well recognized
rights and privileges of their own,
their activities are confined to their
own immediate territory, and the
officers are supposed to devote them
selves to caring for the registration
and providing judges and watchers
for the election.
Their representatives on the state
committee, however, have national
functions. They have the duty of
seeing that congressional committees
are provided. They also have the
responsibility for the selection of dele
gates to the national convention, anC
finally, in the event of death ol
resignation, they have the right tC
fill the vacancies on the natiOna
committee.
Curiously land. no doubt, the found
ers of the Republican party had the
thought in mind of providing checks
and balances) members of the nationa
committee, except in this instance, al
mentioned. are elected by the dele
gates at the national convention. Blu
it can be said that the men ant
women so elected, as a rule, havr
passed through an apprenticeship o
service in virtually all the mino
committee responsibilities before thi
final honor is given them. In short
the whole system has been planne,
with the idea of securing to the ma
tional committee leadership which no
, only is outstanding in its integrity
but which has had experience in a
5 phases of political life.
Service is Constant.

all during the entire period Of this
office-holding.
While in the states which have Re-
publican senators, they generally CO.
operate with those officials, conditions
develop from time to time where a
northern state is left without any Re
publican senator. New York presents
such a case at this time. The two
sitting senators are both Democrats,
and Charles D. Hilles, the national
committeeman Of New York, accord
ingly, has become not only the titular

A NEWSPAPER POLL

From now on we shall hear frequently of polls
being taken to catch the drift of sentiment for
the 1928 campaign. One of the most interesting
to date was that recently finished by the National
Republic magazine. That publication sought to
learn from Republican newspaper editors and
leaders the status of their respective communities
on both Republican and Democratic possible NOM
inees.
inquiries were addressed to $500 editors, of
whom more than one-thirds replied, and $500
members of state committees, of whom about
One-fourth replied. The inquiries were made on
the assumption that President Coolidge would not
be candidate to succeed himself
The result of the poll, as just announced, is
interesting. 1t shows Herbert Hoover, secretary
Of commerce, leading in the Republican ranks
with former Governor LOwden of Illinois second.
1t also indicates that Governor AL Smith of New
York has virtually walkaway for the Democratic
nomination.
The summary follows:
Poll of editors for first choice for Republican
nomination: Hoover, SIT, Lowden, 518; Hughes,
