United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Prohi-
bition can not be enforced even
with use of the army and navy and
within ten years it will be forgotten,
Representative Robert H. Clancy
Rep., Mich), wet, told the
United Press today.
He said Representative Sproul
Rep., Kan.), who declared a new
era in prohibition would develop
within ten years was correct but
that instead of the law becoming
perfected it would be abandoned.
at virtually is impossible to re-
peal or modify the prohibition law
but the eighteenth amendment to
the Constitution will be forgotten
and go by the boards in the same
way the. fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments went" Clancy said.
100000 BOOtIeggers
The more agents the government
details for dry law work the more
crime there will be. Already there
are more than 100000 bootleggers
in the United States and this army
is growing"
Clancy said within the next ten
years congress will refuse to appro-
pirate funds for prohibition work.
He said the government is losing
more than 81 600, 100000 a year now
in taxes from the sale of intoxicants
and the people will revolt in pay
ing taxes for a law that prevents
legal collection of revenues.
when the law is forgotten, as it
has been in Pennsylvania, manu-
featuring plants will spring up and
whisky, beer, wines and ales will be
manufactured without interference.
The government will not be coli
lecting one penny in taxes from
these wild cat plants but the peo-
pie will be obtaining their bever-
ages" he said.
No Honest Dry Agents
ct virtually is impossible for
the government to employ honest
dry agents. Out of twenty-three
federal officers in Detroit only one
was honest and he was discharged"
Clancy said prohibition kills tenn
perance. Citing an example, he said
in 1918 there were but 1907 saloons
in Detroit compared with 10000
speak easies today.
THE growth of intemperance and
1awlessness and unregulated saloons
extends to all cities in the United
States. Prohibition can not be en-
forced until congress learns a way
to prevent fermentation by nature.
Meantime, the law is a farce"

A FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE

Last Tuesday the whole nation paid honor to Abra-
ham Lincoln, the date of his BIRTH February 18TH
At this time it is we'll to ponder over the virtues of
this great whose memory is revered as the
years go by, when other who have attained
high position Abraham Lincoln, have almost
been forgotten and their have gone practically
into oblivion.
1t certainly cannot be laid to the fact that he
president because he assassinated because
this nation has had other and martyred presidents
and they have gained the distinction revered
memory that has to Honest Abe"
The reason that Abraham Lincoln lives in the
memory of the people of the United States so strongly
based upon his love of justice and the rights of the
common people. No matter too small for this
great president to give his attention and if worthy
would receive his support Rich and poor received the
same treatment,
In the present fast moving generation, the who
called to lead the desnies of this nation are sur
rounded by huge mOnopolies, money trusts, power
trusts oil trusts railroad combinations steel trusts and
combinations of practically everything that is
featured and sold the people of this great country
They the power and they their power to try
to influence the action of the head of the nation for
their personal gain Too often they successful and
the consequence is harder lot for the poorer people
of the country
When the common people hear and read of the life
of Abraham Lincoln, the champion of the rights of
all people, rich and poor, and then compare his life
with presidents in time they naturally
that great commOner all the more, because he was
against human slavery of only the colored but
also those of the white race
The common pesele after all make up the great
er part of this United States of America. They
the workers and producers 1t is their children who
form the great armies during war, it is their work
which feeds the nation and which fill the factories and
mines They the foundation of this great nation
1t is to their good Judgment that the of Abraham
Lincoln has gone down in the pages of history as an
outstanding parsonage amongst great men.
1t is too be behooved that of the men, honored
by the people with the highest office in the land
not things in the way Abraham Lincoln did, and
their position for the good of all the people, in
stead of those with whom they in direct contact
because of their powerful connections
What change it would be to the people of this
country to president of the United States taking
a stand for the common people as against the huge
monopolies which are now trying to place them in a
position of serfdom? When that man comes and full
fills his mission Abraham Lincoln did, his name will
also down in history of the great presidents
of this nation and not into the class of almost unknown
presidents who have accomplished that greatness
in the hearts of the people that lives on after
the affairs of state have passed into other hands

BEGGING THE QUESTION
(From the Montana Free Press)

The Anaconda Copper Mining company owns nine
daily newspapers in this state and among these is its
local mouthpiece, The Montana Standard ANY one of
these newspapers could, if the company wished, tell
the people of the state why its agents interfere with
the government of Montana and why it maintains these
newspapers, and why it keeps lobby at the legsla-
ture
1t charged with controlling the state government
with electing the governor, with occupying the legit
mate newspaper field with nine newspapers that are
not conducted legitimate newspaper enterprises but
hold the field against legitimate papers to serve the
company publicity instruments and purveyors of
propaganda, and with maintaining an expensive lobby
at the state capital for the past several weeks in
nection with the session of the legislature.
1t charged with preventing the people of Montana
from securing the information that the legitimate
newspapers would provide; with using the nine papers
to prejudice public opinion deceive delude and keep
the people in the dark the truth about public is
sues; and with practically dvesting the electorate of
its sovereign right to conduct its state governments
But whenever any of its papers speak for it. they
beg the question They refuse to touch upon any of
these subjects All they do is to tell what large in
dustry the Anaconda company conducts It's newspa-
put forward the industrial achievements and ac-
tvites of the company which nobody has assaed but
are as dumb oysters every issue upon which it is
arragned.
We ask the Montana Standard to tell why the COM
pany indirectly exercises political control of the state
government of Montana
We ask it to explain why the company maintains its
nine newspapers.
We ask it to inform the public what reason it has
to keep its brilliant lobbyists at the state capital

THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION

How many taxpayers in Sheridan county are follow
ing the actions of the legislative body now assembled
at Helena to make laws which will affect them both
morally, financially and otherwise?
The writer will not attempt to answer this question
but every citizen and taxpayer should be taking deep
interest in how the representatives and senator from
this county and the Governor are voting on the differ
ent measures that come before them Other counties
are responsible for their elected representatives and
they, of course, should also be watching their actions
on measures which directly indirectly affect them
IL Is also the duty of every taxpayers to watch the
different measures they come up and let your rep
resentatlves know how you feel about them During
this period of the year, most of us have time to
follow the legislative dongs and write to the renre
sentatives of this county and let them know orr
opinions, and we feel that the elected lawmakers
from this county will welcome letters from home and
give them due consideration
Now, if you not in favor of increased taxation
let the men down at Helena know about it. If von
are not In favor of the big monopoies directing the
destlmes of the State of Montana tell them so. OF
course the legislators and senator elected from Sbe
Gan are elected by the people to represent them at
Helena and use their best Judgment and upon their
decisions they rise or fall but nevertheless word from
nome Will not be amss and careful watch of the leo
isative proceedings will give interesting reading and
also knowledge of matters very vital to the taxpaver
and other citizens of this county.
