HERBERT HOOVER, THE PRESIDENT

Having been elected President of these United States,
Mr.. Herbert Hoover has a great task before him. 1t will be
recalled that he came out frankly against either the modih-
cation or the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. For
him any ~slackening of the enforcement laws which would
permit that which the constitution forbids is notification.
He regards prohibition as a great social and economic ex-
pertinent, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose" A
relaxation of the enforcement Of the Volstead Act is hardly
likely. Within limits the degree of enforcement will depend
upon the nature of the appointments made and the amount
of money spent.
Besides prohibition the agricultural issue is of out
standing Importance. Mr.. Hoover stands committed by his
party platform and by his personal convictions against the
McNary Haugen bill. His remedies for the present ailments
of agriculture, as set forth in his address at Stanford Univer-
sity, were: first, an adequate tariff; second, the reorganiza-
ton of the marketing system; third, the creation Of a Federal
Farm Board whose chief function would be to build up with
Federal finance, farmer-owned and farmer controlled stabiG-
cation corporations which will protect the farmers from the
depressions and decentralization of seasonal gluts and period
ical surpluses.'
Yes, Mr.. Hoover has a great task before him and the
people have demonstrated by their vote that they have e-
cry confidence that he will surmount every obstacle and full
I'LL every promise made.

WHEAT PRICES TO ADVANCED

Secretary Jardine, in one of his speeches in the state de-
clared that there was every indication that wheat prices
would advance in the near future. The advices on the Can
adam crop situation that are coming in give some foundation
for that belief. The percentage of low grade wheat in Can
ada is larger than expected and the total production seems to
have been ~overestimated.
There has been considerable frosted wheat in sections
OF this state also and that will cut down the available supply
of high grade milling wheat. The combine was responsible
tor a speed of marketing this fall that was unprecedented
Ihat was true in Kansas, in the northwest and in Canada
The flood of wheat gluted the markets. 1t was an opportun-
iy for the bears" and they pounded the prices down as the
spring wheat piled up in the terminals beyond the capacity
of the storage facilities available.
In sections of Montana the growers are holding back
a large percentage of their crop on the farm. With the rush
OF marketing about over and the Canadian crop reports
showing a smaller yield of high grade wheat than estimated
more gradual marketing Of the remainder of the crop should
aid in stabiizing prices at a higher level than has prevailed
for sixty days.
1t is certain that the combine has created a new compli-
cation in the wheat situation that calls for consideration on
the part of the growers. The rapidity with which this wears
crop was put on the market will be increased another wear as
more combines go into operation, unless such storage plans
are evolved as will spread the marketing period out over >
longer time-Havre News Promoter.

Grand Worthy Matron

POST MORTEM-

The election is over and all in all rather satisfactory. AS
it appears from the returns within this county the electors,
as we'll as we, would have been better pleased if Joseph M.
Dixon had been elected to the United States Senate. The
rank and file does not understand the reasons that caused
Dixon's defeat; however, the dominant cause of Dixons de-
feat and Wheeler victory was contributed by the Producers
News with its special edition of four pages containing de-
rogatory matter against Senator Wheeler and attacking his
integrity and character. The fact that the people throughout
the state have come to learn that it has become a habit with
that newspaper to attack anyone with whom they may diff
fer without the least foundation of fact, knowing themselves
to be unable to answer in damages. either civlly or criminal
ly was the largest factor in Dixons defeat, and contributed
in a large measure to the defeat Of Rankin for Governor.
Another cause of he defeat Of Dixon and Rankin was
the very fact that the News supported them, as the public
has come to believe that there must be a niger in the wood
pile somewhere, when support comes from that paper. This
is not only true within the county of Sheridan but is general
ly believed throughout the state.
AS to the county officers. every candidate that the
News opposed was elected by large majorites.
Which substantiates the above reasoning.
