A GOOD LINE-RUT NO SALE
(Judith Basin (Hobsonl Starr

President Donnelly and his party of Northern Pacific boosters
who blew into Lewfstown last week had such poor success selling
the idea of a branch line railroad as against the Great Northern's
main line, that they abandoned their trip to Great Falls, shook the
dust of central Montana off their feet, and beat it back to their own
baiiwick via Big Timber Lewfstown and central Montana received
them with every courtesy, listened carefully to their talks. and then
unanimously decided that they had not a single worth while argu-
ment Perhaps we should not blame them for wanting to get into
ths' the richest part OF Montana, They doubtless have a right to
fight for their own pocketbooks. But neither can they blame us in
central Montana for fighting to get the main line railroad without
which We arr so badly handicapped.
The territory west of Lewistown has got to have a direct line
to the east n it will never develop as it should. The territory east
of Lewistown clear down to Sidney has got to have an outlet to the
west, II they are likewise crippled. These undeniable facts will be
put squarey up to the Interstate Commerce Commission. That thew
will forever condemn a territory bigger than the state Of PennsyI
vanfa branch line service is unthinkable. Our Northern Pacific
friends n therefore bound to lose out. They ought to realize if
themselves. Our hope is that they will show good sportsmanship and
a real desire to serve the best interests of the public by withdrawing
from the northern route and sticking to the territory adjacent to
their own line. The Great Northern has offered to stay at home and
the Northern Pacific should be willing to do the same. Lewistown
and central Montana have been Milwaukee and Great Northern ter
Iftory for over twenty years. 1t is rather unreasonable for the North
en Pacific to insist on entering here We believe that after due
consideration they will com to the same conclusion. A railroad
which does not have the public with them does not get very far
these days.

THE GREAT DEVELOPER

The Openarms welcome extended to the Great Northern by the
people of the territory and towns along the route proposed tt be

for the great railroad that has been such a important factor in
developing northern Montana.
The Great Northern is progressive and liberal in its policy and
always ready to cooperate for mutual benefit A great Northern main
line reaching through on the proposed route would be a marvellous
developer for McCone, Garfield and Fergus counties. There seems
little doubt that permission for the extension will be granted. There
is a serious need for transportation there and the railroad whose
special field lies in Northern Montana is the road to furnish it,

AN IDEAL IDOL

Americans glory in worshiping both ideals and idols. The target
of their sentimental reactions includes a wide scope of activities
an athlete, a soldier, an aviator, a financial giant, a statesman or a
scholar. This week the American people have full opportunity to
crafty their love for putting a citizen IN a pedestal, and making him
the object of universal hero worship.
Where in the pages of our short history do we find a finer ideal
OF a citizen to receive the love, praise and appreciation of the nation
than Thomas A. Edison? His ambitions and wonderful scientific
successes have never led toward greed, power, destruction or personal
trement; to apply almostceaseessly the seemingly superhuman talents
given him, for the benefit of humanity.
II we can get wildly enthusiastic over men who hit home runs
stay in the air a week, beat an opponent into insensibility, or get
a billion dollars away from other people, there is little wonder that
we bow in praise and admiration before the man who literally brought
the world out of physical darkness.

A SOCIAL DISEASE

The Montana crime commission is now actively at work on the
Job assigned it. One thing they must keep before them is that crime
is a condition Of society, not the work of a distinct faction. When
and where crime and criminals are abundant a careful survey will re-
veal that a predominatmg element of the rank and file of society are
criminal in a degree; and aid, abet, secretly admire, or tolerate thu
actual perpetrators. Whenever the ruling faction sincerely and cour.
ageously does not want criminals of any sort, then crime and Grim
mails will soon be reduced in a heavy percent. Virtually there will
be no criminals working at the business, only degeHerates, morans,
and imports. We need sand on the moral highway-our citizenship
is skiddng.

ment of Michaelscn.
The trunks came through the Gus
