MAYOR WALKER AT THE UNWILLING.

Last month it was published in Washington that Mayor Walker of New York would be one of the principal speakers at the unveng of the Stone Mountain memorial of Gen Robert E. Lee and other Confederate leaders. Mrs. Spangler of Washington, pretending that her alleged fine Southern sentiment had been outraged, wrote to Senators from Dixie, saying:
 Where are all our distinguished
 statesmen and scholars, who knew their
 South they do their prayers, that
 this Charlie Chaplin of New York's East
 Side friend of the bootlegger and
 saloonkeeper, is invited to describe the
 achievements of the South at the dedi-
 cation of this shrine to the Souths
 greatest soldier? Are our men and
 afraid to oppose the will of Tam
 many that they offer protest to such
 insult to the memory of General
 Lee?"
 The Southern Senators probably were not greatly impressed with the characterization of Mayor Walker. Instead of being the "Charle Chaplin of New York's East Side, friend of bootlegger and saloon-keeper" Mayor Walker was born, raised and lives on the West Side He holds three earned college degrees. He was a very successful majority and minority leader in the New York Legislatures where he met and far better than he'd his own against one of the clesere nd oost elective political organizations elhst controlled of the great political parties In the meantime he lawyer and s ccessfpl handled large practice. He was elected Mayor of the largest citysin the world by the argest majority ever recorded in that city for that office. He is not only very popular in New York but his popularity extends to the real quality of the South where he is known and extremely well liked
 The Senators from Dixie know all this They are also familiar with the history of their South, and they know that in those dark days of re- construction when the South struggling for release from the ignorant and vicious rule of carpetbaggers, Tammany stood with her with a loo per cent. unanimity, and sent to Washington solid Congressional delegation in Congress after Congress that voted with her and for her on every roll call of every session.
 We conceive of nothing that would have been appropriate than the action of the committee that has charge of the Stone Mountain memorial when it invited the most popular and brilliant Mayor of Dixies most friendly Northern City to participate in the unveiling ceremonies in honor of Gen. Lee and his fellow patriots.

THE "FLAPPERS' WIN.

At last the Baldwin Conservative Party Gov ernment in Great Britain has given it's assent to the "fapper yote' bill, and the franchise will be extended to women in that country just as it is to men Women have been voting over there for ten years but only those over thirty. Men vote at twenty-one The contest to gain the ballot has been waged by the "aappers'-women under thirty--for ten years with constantly in- creasing vigor The Liberals have supported it from the beginning
 It has been just sixty years since the British Commons first voted suffrage, when it moved by John Stuart Mill, the great economist It defeated, of course, but a half century later thirty achieved the franchise. Now there will be absolute equal ity for women with men.

Silver Producers Encouraged.
(Ctncinnati Enquirer


 silver lining is behind the clouds of the silver industry, according to the reports of such experts as Handy and Harman who seem to have line most of the silver of the world
 These experts say it is good for 1928 that the average price level of silver will be higher than for 1927, and they go so far as to hint that there to be ground for a still more hopeful situation than expressed in the above report"
 Old Mother Earth dug deep into the old earth jeans for the world output of 251 million ounces last year. Uncle Sam produced 54.9 million ounces of this, while at the same time he ex- ported 127.5 million ounces and used up in his arts and manufactures 33.5 million ounce Thus, while our thrifty Uncle Sam produced only 55 millions of ounces, he used 161 millions, and the experts call that announcement matter from which to drive mpch encouragement
 That may be good for the fellow who has silver "to burn" but to mortals who have to pay the butcher the baker, the candle stick maker, it looks like it might be one of those gifts about which one once wrote T fear the Creeks though bringing gifts, The price of silver fuctuated during the past year from 60 cents high to 5352 cents low, and finally standing at the average 56.37 cents ounce.
 Uncle Sam should be so careless about his silver. The idea of using up more than 100 million ounces more than be produced. He cer- tainly does set bad example for his large family.

AN OPPORTUNITY MISSED.

Gov. Donahey demonstrated his provincialism when, overlooking 0ho's three outstanding Democrats of National character (former Gov. James M. Cox, former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker and former Senator Atlee Pomerene), he appointed local from State office to be United States Senator Ohio her import in National affairs because both the Demo- cratic and Republican parties of the State have rarely failed to honor those who their spurs through large public service. If Cyrus Locker ever did anything to attract attention beyond the borders of his State much of it within the State--we have never heard of it.
 To an outsider it would seem that Gov. Donahey missed opportunity to render the Nation and his party real service Cox Baker Pomerene would have added greatly to the strength of the United States Senate and helped the Demoratc Party to become a useful instru- ment in the government of the Nation.

More or Less True
 Though they're dressing and acting more and more alike, it still is possible to tell the male and female apart-the one all ex- cited about getting an Easter hat is the female.
 If they could be used only for important conversations, about 95 percent of the homes could dc away with their telephones. A bachelor, according to the married cynic. may have made mistakes, but at least didn't make the biggest one.
 A husband may think the world and all of his wife and get plenty of devotion from her, and still like 10 sit far enough away from her when they have dinner guests, to keep from getting kicked in the shlns.
 Another thing science might try explaining is why. slnce eating is a necessity, Nature didn't arrange it so all women would enjoy cooking and dishwashing.
 We suppose in an ideal home the family budget would provida as much for friend hubs clothes as 1t would for friend wife's, but of course, it wouldn't be an ideal husband who would be selfish enough to permit such a thing.
 Ifs a funny world, and we sup pose if long skirts ever do come back a woman will be considered very immodest if she holds hers up, say to within a couple inches of her knees, when crossing a muddy street.
 X woman gets as much satis- faction out of knowing she is not behind the times as her husband does in knowing he is ahead of his bills-if he ever is.

FRANNIE OIL FIELD
CAUSING ACTIVITY
AMONG LOCATORS
Indications Are It Will Be
a Very Large
Field.

Oil excitement in the Frannie field
still prevails. The Miller structure
which is being tested by Mr.. White of
the local oil company, followed the
discovery of oil in the Frannie struc-
ture and Mr.. White and his associates
have recorded in the county clerk and
recorders office the tracts of lands
for the following named: Ernest
Funk, Charles Gray, John T. Miller,
Harvey Ridgeway, Eva Inglehalt,
Anton Anderson, David r. Hopkins,
A. Luld, George Reed and Willard
Clark. Tie exploration we'll is being
drilled on the property of Willard
Clark.
Mr.. White anticipates reaching the
frontier sand at 1900 feet. The past
week the casing was placed to exclude
the seepage of water coming from the
Eagle sand stone layer. The well is
now down approximately 1000 feet,
and with favorable weather conditions,
the first frontier sand will be reached
within the next 80 days and few
feet farther, the second frontier sand
will also be available The building
crew is working day and night
shift.
Further geological findings indicate
that the field will be more extensiv,
than was given at the first estimate
The fault block running from the pro
nounced area around Frannie has beer
traced to a point known as the Miller
structure. High hopes are being en-
tertained by the drillers that oil of
higher quality may be obtainable in
the frontiers. Government permits
have been filed in townships Z 8 nth
"a and south "a, comprising the area
lying west of the railroad. Negotia-
tons are now underway by the larger
OIL companies acquiring acreage Tor
he purpose Of exploring in adjacent
structures around the Miller and
Frannie structures.

SUSPECTED CON
MEN LEFT TOWN
BY INVITATION

Some fellows operating a stand in
Red Lodge on Labor day were given
short shift in leaving town as they
were evidently working not only a
crooked game but one Of confidence.
A youth, in paying a So debt, con-
tracted perhaps in questionable way,
rendered a check of $3.50. One of
the fellows, under the pretext of not
having enough money to cash the
check, stated he would "step out" and
get the change. The youth waited but
the man did not return. He was later
located by Sheriff Albert and restitu-
ton was made the proper owner.

and introduced Mayor G. L. Koehn,
who delivered an address of welcome,
which he closed by assuring the
visitors that Labor day is looked upol
as one of the biggest days of the year
in this city and that he hoped every
one would enjoy to it's fullness.
John 7. Kelly, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, was
then introduced and extended felicita
tions in behalf of the county. Mr.
Kelly stated that all are laborers and
urged cooperation, expressing the
hope that in future years there would
be stronger and closer bond of union
between the industrial organizations
and the Farmers union that is becom-
ing so important in this county.
The next speaker was James
O'Shea, president of the Montana
Farmers union, who told of the eff
cacy of organization, predicted that
the day will come when the farmers
will be more effectively organized
tnan at present; discussed the presi-
dents veto Of the McNary-Haugen
bill, passed by congress last year;
raped politicians generally for their
selfishness and in closing gave de-
tailed account of the activities of the
farmers union as it is now operating
in 27 states. Mr. O'Shea is an inter-
esting speaker and his address was
listened to with marked attention. He
has the happy faculty of being able
to serve out cold facts without incur
ring eminenty to himself or to the
cause he represents and the Relation
of the aims and purposes Of the farm
ers union, as outlined by him in Mon
days address will without doubt be
the beginning of a newer and brighter
day for the toilers on the farms of
this nation.
President Condor next introduced
Thomas Kennedy of Hazelton, Pa,
who delivered the principal address
of the day. Mr.. Kennedy is the inter-
national secretary-treasurer of the
United Mine Workers of America and
it is doubtful if more able address
of like nature was ever heard in this
