STATE PRAISES WIFE OF SENATOR
 FOR AIDING HIS PUBLIC CAREER

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. g. Although she may exhibit great |. interest in the baking of a cake Mrs. Joseph T. Robinson, wife oi the minority leader of the United States senate, nevertheless is a keen student of politics who en joys campaign.
 She is home body" and en joys going into the kitchen to prepare rare old Southern dishes but. as veteran of many races political developments never fail to attract her attention. In fact, her friends say that fl Senator Robinson should become a presidential candidate one ei his principal lieutenants would be his wife.
 As bride, she went with her husband when he "stumped" Lo 'npke county for the state legisla .ture, his first campaign for pub lie office. Since then she has ad vised and otherwise aided him and is given much credit here for the senator's rise to national I prominence.
 "Bome people say sister is Q better politician than the sena tor,r Grady Miller, her brother relates. "Yet I have seen her fuss as: much over baking d cake as over one of his campaigns. T ' "ln 1918, however, she virtually
 managed his campaign for the senate. Senator Robinson was too busy in Washington to devote much time to the race. So she
 he was reelected" e
 2 Although born near Lonoke, came down and saw to it thft Ark. only few miles from where Qenator Robinson lived. she did
 not meet her future husband un. ttl after he had graduated from the University of Arkansas and put up his shingle as a lawyer. Just after their marriage, Robin. e0p made his first race for of. flee and a f0w years later was elected to congress at the age of 90.

mo law of any Territorial
Legislature shall be made or

There seems to be no valid
reason why the Territory
should not attend to it's own
business and do it by officials
elected by and responsible to
the people. A strenuous effort
to that end will be made at
the eighth session of the Leg
islature, commencing on March
next. There is nothing per-
sonal against any of the pres
emit officials in this desire, as
agitation along this line has
been INDUCED since the days
when Governor Tom Riggs
held office, and bills to accom-
p1ish this end were introduced
in the last two Legislatures,
failing in the Senate both times

LET'S FINISH THE JOB

Leaving a trunk highway 99.5 per cent paved
and One-half of one per cent unpaved could hardly
be called good business.
That is the situation with respect to the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence ship channel. From the head
of the Lakes to the British Isles is $500 miles.
This entire distance is a No 1 paved highway for
Ocean-going vessels. With the new Welland ship
canal, now building and to be finished in 1880,
there will remain but Is miles Of the $500 not
deep enough to carry the average ocean freighter.
That amounts to less than one-half Of one per
cent yet remaining to be finished.
The st. Lawrence ship channel is demanded by
the interior as necessary to it's economic life; it
is approved by the engineers; it is advocated by
the best-informed economists; it will offset the
blighting effect of the Panama canal upon the
interior; it will stimulate business activity, widen
the market zone of the mid-continent, lower the
costs of transportation, and lift the price of farm
products.
Let's finish the job! The president can act.
His is the treaty-making power that must be
invoked before the actual work can be done. Let
him go forward and ask Canada for a treaty.
That is the next step. And the duty of those who
approve of the project and who would like to see
it put through is to make certain that the presi-
dent knows of their attitude. He should hear
from the people by letter, by resolution of cham
bers of commerce and other bodies, by Legislative
declaratiOn-in any way that will carry the mes
sage to him that the people want the findings of
the engineers and economists followed up by
action.
If you believe that moving the Atlantic to
the heart of the continent will benefit the coun-
try, Montana, and yourself, do all you can to
insure that the chief executive "hears from the
people, in unmistakable terms.

COOLIDGE vETOEs FARM BILL

President Coolidge last week vetoed the Nc
NaFy-Haugen bill, a measure designed to aid the
farmers of the nation through federal control and
marketing of surplus crops.
The bill was first presented to congress in the
fall of 1923. It was defeated in the house June
8, 1924, by a vote of 155 to 223; again on May 81,
1926, 1877 to PIP, and passed February II, 1927,
214 to 178. 1t then went to the senate, which
approved it by a non-partisan vote of &c to 80,
"a Republicans and % Democrats voting "aye'
and % Republicans and II Democrats, mo"
In his veto message Mr.. Coolidge set forth that
the bill instead of aiding the farmer would injure
him; that it would tend to increase SURPRISES
rather than decrease them; that it would impose
on the farmers as a whole certain fees, taxes and
expenses for the benefit "of men who grow cot
ton, rice, tobacco, swine, or wheat and nothing
else"; and that it was unconstitutional" In the
latter ruling he was fortified by an opinion from
the attorney general.
Notwithstanding the presidents imposing ar
ray of objections to the McNary-Haugen bill, we
believe he did wrong in vetoing it. He may be
perfectly sincere in his reasons for so doing, but
his action seems a serious error. Again we point
out that while the attorney general believes the
bill unconstitutional, in matters of such great i'm.
pOrtance the supreme court of the United States,
created for the purpose, should be given an Oppor-
tunity to rule. The earnest work of many people
for more than three years should not be nullified
by the opinion of an attorney general, able lawyer
as he may be.
Mr.. Coolidge in his veto message admitted "that
the prices of many farm products have been Out
of line with the general price level for severa,
years" and that reasonable and constructive
legislation to that end would be justified" HI
then declares that "the difficulty with this
measure is that it is not framed to aid the farm.
ers."
We believe that the farmers viii not agree with
him. And neither will many other folk. In tn,
absence Of anything framed to aid the farmers
according to Mr.. Coolidge's ideas, we feel that h,
should have accepted the Mc~Nary-Haugen bin
imperfect as he believes it to be, as Legislation
aimed in the right direction.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress
has adjourned and now according to
custom and practice a flood Of con-
gratulat;ons over the demise of the
body will begin to surge around the
country. There is more than an ele-
ment of injustice in this general dis
position to mark the exit of the ma
tional legislative body with cries of
replacement over it's passing and this
congress is really entitled to a bet
ter farewell. It is true it has sinned
in omissions as well as commits
sions, but congress after all reflects
the feeling of the people at large.
There is a natural waste of hours,
days and weeks in turgid and useless
oratory, and the bills and resolutions
introduced and often passed r not
alwayst letter perfect, but on the
whole it must be admitted that con-
sidering the mass of laws which
drop from the hopper of that august
body that there are mighty few
which are downright harmful or dan
gerous to the peace and safety of the
people at large. Under the circum-
stances congress is entitled to credit

'%FLUNKING" ON LIFE
Twice-a-Week spokesman-Review

Twice-a-Week Spokesman-Review
Various reasons are given for the distressing
epidemic of suicide by college students.
The morbidity of the victims is attributed to
absorption in gloomy literature; to jazz life and
feverish conditions at the colleges; to disappoint-
ed idealism; to the too-rapid draining Of the cup
of youth, with resulting blaseness; to the imita-
tive impulse, prompted by reading of the self
destruction of others.
All these influences, and perhaps others, enter
ed into the various cases. But the deep cause is
natures stern law of elimination Of the weaklings
of the species. The law is not of mans enact
ment, and it is not within the power Of man to
repeal it.
Society cannot abolish its colleges because a
minute percentage of the young men and women
there are unequal to the strain Of modern life
and the intensity Of application in these institu-
tons of learning.
1t is well to remember that but a minute per-
centage Of the student bodies are yielding to the
madness Of self-destructiOn.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1927-03-04

One Of the reasons u treatment
Of crime is unsuccessful, is that u
system Of punishments is merely de-
to keep good people good. The
social stigma of Imprisonment, the
association with evil men in prison,
the confinement without labor in our
jails, all these are penalties that re-
strain the virtuous only.
The real criminal does not fear
social stigma, does not resent evil
associations, and is often pleased to.
secure free board and lodging with
out labor.

Why Are Crimes
Committed

Temptations to commit crimes
against property usually occur out
side Of the home.
Moreover, when a woman wants d
crime committed, she can usually find
a man who will do it for her, and
not "squeal" when caught.
The connection between the man
who embezzles and the woman whose
favor he seeks with stolen funds, is
too common to admit of doubt. One
of the reasons the world is not more
criminal than it is, it that most
women are good.
