SOMEBODY LIED

Rasmus Enge came to us much incensed over the article Hides Lile an Ostrich published in our columns last week. He declares emphatically, that any statemen coupling his name with the prosecu- tion, persecution, trial or what-you- might-call-it is a deliberate lie, re- rardless of who made the state men
 He approached MT. Brown about the statement and Brown made a a fiat denial of ever accusing MT. Enge of having any part in the case. So MT. Enge declared that somebody lied-but Brown woul1 not talk the matter over with Enge and Paul, though Paul is not a big man and cerainly could not hurt auy marshal.
 So much for that.
 We stand on the facts: A man who is not reputed to be in sym- pathy with our policies, paper or anything else, reliable at all times and respected in Petersburg. is our authority for the allegations made by Brown. As between the two men we would take our informant's word anytime in preferences he is not professional gumshoer. We retract not a word-tthe statemen WIS made by Brown that Paul and Nnge did l."

IN THE "SOLTD SOUTH By RAYMOND LONERGAN. in
 LABOR

The Solid South stands at the political crossroads.
 For the first time in half a cen~ tGTy, or since the famous Hayes Tilden contest of 1876, the Repuh- licans have a chance to secure cleo toral votes in the citadel of Dem ocracy.
 West Virginia has been generally Republican; Kentucky, Tennessee. Missouri and Oklahoma have been occasionally carried by the G. o. F., but in the rest of Dixie nomination OF the Democratic ticket has meant an election.
 ZAP Smith is responsible for the change. Booze, Tammany and Catholicism are the issues, declared a leader in the South Carolina Dem ocratic Convention last week, and following his lead the delegates did an unheard of thing in these parts

A TIME TO WORK TOGETHER

The Department of Justice has notified it's representative here that the federal jail must be vacated by the 18th of August and that ar engagements be made to secure suit able quarters for jail. The build ing which has been occupied for Is veal as jail will revert back to the Bureau of Education to again be us e1 as schoolhouse for the Native children.
 Some little opposition has been voiced at this plan. No support has has ever been put forth to secure either much needed school or fed erai building. When the mattte was broached in the past, it re ceivcd more or less indifferent sup port.
 Now the change has been ordere1 by the powers that be in Washing ton. The Bureau of Education has been penurious insofar as some Of the towns in this division are con cerned; furthermore it has much difficulty in presenting it's needs to Congress in order to properly take care of it's big work in the Territory. There are schools that would be q disgrace to any community; ill- equipped and manned with person. nel. The government has millions for batttleships and wars, but not much for education.
 The Department of Justice has in the past been able to secure far more funds for it's operation than the Bureau It has much easier time securing appropriations than the Bu req uat any tlme ana II gwen proper support will back the movement for such a building.
 Now is good time for the peo- plo of Petersburg to show their will ingness to boost for building which will be a credit to the town.

INDIANS STUDY TO CAST VOTE Want to Read Names on Ballot in- stead of Depending On an
 Interpreter

Even the older Indians of the Glacier National Park Reservation are ambitious to learn to read and write English. A great many of the tribe are showing a keen inter- est in the night classes conducted under the auspices of the National Illiteracy Crusade.
 n class organized by Mrs. Otto Thompson, chairman of the Indian work for the Montana Federation of Women's Clubs, is doing splendid wC"k. It includes the veteran Big Springs, a fine type of the older gen eration of American Indian now passing, who is 70 years of age and cannot speak a word of English. 4 trlend of Big Springs told him he was a fool to begin studying at his ase. but Big Springs retorted that he wasn't such a big fool that he could not appreciate the value of knowing how to read and write. Mrs. Thompson says the Indians are Ill eager to learn the words they fird on their ballot at the election time in order that they may cast it without the aid of an interpreter ''The Indian problem" Mrs Thomp- says, "begins and ends with educa- tion."

 Evidently they reserved the right to "bolt" if Smith is nominated at Houston.
 At the same time, and by practic- ally the same vote, they refused to instruct their delegates not to vote for Smith!
 Who can interpret such appar- ently contradictory verdicts?
 For a week this writer has been travelling down the East Coast en- doavoring to guage sentiment. He has talked with representatives of all classes and he has been forced to the conclusion that the Solid South" is, at least, threatening to "crack"
 Most of the politicians are sure 1t will hold together.
 ''The race issue will turn the trick" said one. "The Republican party in the South is controlled by the negroes. The whites have not forgotten the days of reconstruc- tion.
 AT Smith is a bitter pill, but he represents the part which stands for white supremacy and we will vote for him in preference to any Repu blican."
 The ministers and the women arc Smiths most uncrompromising op- ponents. They say the politicians are out of touch with the masses of voters.
 We can vote for a Republican president without jeojardizing Dem ocratic state and local rule," said one anti-Smith man. "Of course, we don't like to see negroes distrib- uting Federal patronage and holi- l inp SwaI1 iOha in WachinptOtn hur we have stood it for many years and we can stand it a few more

THROUGH DREDGING NARROWS

Dredging operation along the Nafrows have been completed. The big dredge has been laying at an- cEor in the bay, expecting word as chor in tthe bay expecting word ao to whether or not it would re- move the fill-in on the bar abreas of Standard Oil Docks. Word has beon definitely received that this cannot be done with present author ization so just as soon as arrange ments can be made the dredge and barge will be taken south.
 The men who stand in the lime light and do the fancy stunts are the ones who usually get the credit for work accomplished. While much might be said of the work of the dredge crew and their engineers, a lot of credit must be given to MT. James Truitt, engineer in charge representing the U. s. Engineers. Without going into eulogies-he is the man who checked up on the work all through the entire opera ticn and he was absolutely conscien- tious about it-not only faithfully doing the work, but insisting that it be done accurately and accord ing to specification. But for his following of the blueprints strictly td the letter, the job would have been completed long since. But on several occasions, after a spot had been completed by the dredge, he mad them go back and remove spots that were just a trif1le off. We have been very fortunate in having an able delegate working in our behalf to make it possible to have the work done; we have been fortunate in having able men in charge of the work.

Kremer's work indicates he is due

alongside the four he has left behind

France Celebrates
Rugby Inauguration

celebrate this year the semi-cen-
tennial Of the introduction Of rugby
football.
Rugby came from England in
1878 and was first played BY the
BoiS-de- Boulogne Football and
Cricket Club. The game was not
popular ct first, and the club could
not for years get enough players
to make up two full teams. Mem
bers were attracted BY foot-racing
and pigeon shooting and it wasn't
until well into the new century that
football became one Of the populsr
games Of France.
