BERNARD SHAW
OPENS ATTACK
ON UNIVERSITIES
Oxford, Cambridge Labeled
as 'ASyIumS for Mental
Detectives

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Oct. Is. - Now that
Bernard Shaw has labeled the uni
versities of oxford and Cambridge
as "asylums for mental detectives,
graduates of England's oldest insti-
tuition of learning are girding their
loinS for a controversy which soon is
expected to fill columns of the news
papers.
Shaw delivered his attack against
Oxford and Cambridge in an adj
dress at the University Of Plymouth
Tuesday.
The thing to do with these I'M
venerable institutions" he said. rs
to rae them and SOW the founda-
tons with salt. If it is too much
trouble to knock them down, use
them as asylums for the mentally
defective. You must replace them
with local universities"
Shaw said he was convinced that
university education was destroying
civilization by damaging the in
tellect of the student and killing
original thought.
He had but one favorable word for
oxford and Cambridge. They pro-
duced good manners.
There are two classes of men in
this country" said Shaw, who have
social manners-uniyersity men and
Sailors"

POLITICAL FIGHT
STIRRED UP BY
QUEEN MARIE
Government Is Thrown into
Controversy Involving
0ynaSty'S Position.

Bv United Press
BERLIN, Oct. 16-Queen Marie
OF Rumania, who once swayed the
Balkans as no other woman ever
old, has re-entered politics in a way
that threatens the most serious cri-
sis in the life of the year-old Peas
ant party regime at Bucharest.
Probably the best known of any
central European figure in the eyes
OF Americans, the handsome queen
has thrown her country's govern
ment into an unprecedented con-
trOversy involving the position of
the dynasty, according to advices
from Bucharest.
Premier Julius Manu- has de-
manded that purported statements
OF the queen be repudiated by the
royal family or he will resign, and
with him his cabinet and Constan-
tin Saratzeanu, whose election to
the regency for King Michael start
ed the turmoil last week. tt is in
dicsted that the conflict may have
risen from Queen Maries desire to
regain some of her former power
through election to the regency.
The Queen has not been active
in politics since the death Of King
Ferdinand. 1t appeared that the
rise Of the Peasant party to a place
of power deprived her Of influence
and not until last week, when cleo
ton of a new member of the regency
was scheduled, did she appear in
the political spotlight.
At that time, the queen arrived
I'm Bucharest, with something of her
Old-time display and it was reported
that she would be elected as regent.
But the Peasant party, having no
member on the regency, was under
stood to have attempted to bargin
with the queen. suggesting that she
be named regent only on the condi-
ton that Prince Nicholas resign his
position on the regency.
The queen declined and Tuesday
her challenge to the premier's at
titude appeared in an interview in
the newspaper Universal.
1T IL not permissible even to con-
template any replacement of Prince
Nicholas" she was quoted as saying.
1T is even less permissible to make
such replacement an object of bar
gaining"

Is Fun Time; Hit The Trail for Wolf Point
SPREADING THE SPIRIT OF
THE WEST BOTH OLD AND new

AS the dates for the Ninth Annual Wolf Point
Stampede approach the citizens of the town and
vicinity wish to say that they sincerely anxious
to do all IN their power to make the big event the

TO have good time it is not necessary to fout
the law or take undue liberties with the customs re-

OF convention, but it is ruled by MEN and WOMEN
The Old West was rough even wild and wooly
out stern sense OF honor among men, chivalry to-
ward women and respect for law and government
prevailed with the dominating element. Sport was
the common ground on which all elements of the Old
w est got together when play day came-the sports
OF the ranch and the rodeO.
The New West is more hedged about with laws
and officers, and just shade sitter in it's manners
Dut the same ideals and tastes the same love for fun
the same regard for honor rule it. So it is easy for
the Old and New to mix and mingle together with
the common purpose of a good time
lhe men and women of the West courageous,
confident, each sufficient unto himself for whatever
con1ronts him, gores in a free and easy independ-
ence the mOney-ruled East never knows. Let us
meet together once more in annual cOncave have
!un IN abundance the old sort and the new And
let us retrace our signatures to that Declaration of
that brands us citizens of distinct
empire. An empire of the plains and hills that
charms and lures and holds the stamp of citizens that
truly belong in the West
SO come, it's Stampede Time Old Timers. new
timers, tenderfeet, come. You're welcome Let's

LARGE PICTURE MADE,
WOLFPT. BRIDGE CAMP

A fine picture of the camp
crew. and the first work on the
Missouri river bridge has been
taken and is on exhibition in the
window of the Wolf Point studio.
The picture is large, perhaps three
feet long and twelve inches wide.
Photographer Lovejoy says that
the picture was taken by com
mercial photographer from Miles
City with a camera built especially
for taking large scenes.
Progress on the bridge is be-
coming more noticeable. One of
the main piers, which goes so or
70 feet below the bed of the river,
has been begun. The bridge site
has become a mecca for motorists
and picnic parties. The place has
become quite a village in itself.
Some of the workmen, who have
built cottages for themselves,
have flourishing gardens in the
rich river bottom soil.
Work on the highway between
the bridge and highway No. 2 is
progressing steadily.

BURKE

Some time ago at the behest of
filed complaint with the Indian
department relative to the STAN
pede grounds being used for the
annual rodeo without the consent
of the tribal council Mr. White
horse told representative of The
Herald that he personally had no
objection to the rodeo, in fact, was
in favor of it, but the complaint
was filed because some Indians
thought that the matter should
have come before the tribal coun-
Gil.
The matter was referred back
to Superintendent Eggers and his
reply, given below, is self explain
atory Moses Whitehorse received
a letter from Senator Wheeler, to
whom he had written, telling him
that inasmuch as the rodeo had
been held on these grounds for
eight years, and inasmuch as the
rodeo people bought hay from the
Indians, and furnished some of
them with work, and considering
the fact that the Indians were
given free admission to t h e
grounds, that there seemed to be
no reason why the rodeo or stam-
pede should not be held in the /.
same place this year. He con- /
cluded with the wish that all the 1
Indians might enjoy the Stampede 4

income CONTEST
JUDGE GODDARD HANDS DOWN
DECISiON-NO FRAUD
SHOWN
Glasgow Courier

Attorney John NJ Kline of the
firm of Kline, McKellar & Borton
is just in receipt of the decision of
Judge Goddard in the COnklin-
Horsford election contest at Cir
Gle, which will be of interest to
every voter.
At the last election in McCone
county, George Conklin was the
Republican candidate for county
commissioner He was opposed
by Democratic candidate, and by
Thomas Horsford, running indie
pendently. Mr.. Horsford was elect
ed by a plurality of four votes.
Mr.. Conklin contested the election
in the courts.
A number of persons who voted
for Mr.. Horsford had registered
before registry agents appointed
by the county clerk The clerk had
no authority to make the appoint
ments. as this must be done by
the county commissioners. Be
cause of this, Mr. Conklin claimed
that all these votes were illegal.
Judge Goddard decided, however,
that since the voters were other
wise qualified and had acted in
good faith, and did not know about
the irregularity in the appoint
ments, their votes must be count
ed.
On one ballot an elector had vot-
ed for Mr.. Horsford twice, once |
where his name was printed and |
once by writing his name in the
Republican column. Judge God I
lard held that this should be |
counted as one vote for Mr.. Hors

On another ballot the voter had
made various lead pencil marks,

CAR THROUGH BRIDGE
RAIL; NO FATALITIES

Tony Svoboda, accompanied by
Don Fulkerson and one or two
others speeded through the rail-
ing on the west side of the small
bridge across Little Wolf Creek
two miles east of here. The accl-
dent happened about half past ten
or eleven Saturday night when
Svoboda and mis- party were re-
turning to their homes at Poplar.
There is a moderate bend IN the
highway just south of the bridge.
The driver apparently was not
paying close attention to the road
or for some reason was not able
to negotiate the turn. The four
door Dodge sedan apparently took
one forward summersault and
rested in the bed of the creek on
it's top, in about three feet OF
water.
BY rare good fortune none of
the occupants of the car were
seriously injured, merely small
cuts and bruises. One person des-
cribing their condition to a re-
porter explained that they were
all wet. The Car was gotten out
the following day. 1t is said to
belong to an Indian woman from
Oklahoma.

VISITS WOLF
POINT AFTER 40 YEARS

Thomas Lawrence, a Civil War
veteran of 81, is here from Zort-
man to pay visit to his son and
daughterin-law, Mr. aid Mrs.
Thomas Lawrence of this city.
The aged veteran, who is of
French and Chippewa Indian
blood, has had career that has
been closely connected with the
stirring times of both the country
and the northwest. He says he
was born some place on the trail
between Devils Lake and the
Standing Rock reservation. There
were not many things by which
to mark spots in those days. 1t
was just some place on the
prairie.
When the Civil war broke out
he enlisted with the 18th Mime
sofa volunteers under Capt. A.
Smith. He served all through the
war and marched with Sherman
to the sea. He draws pension
of s72 month. He first came to
Montana in 1867, travelling from
st. Paul in an oxcart train. He
says the first time he was in Wolf
Point there was absolutely moth .
ing in the way of a town and the /
last time he was here, about 40
years ago, there was nothing but
box cars on a siding. The old
gentlemen is quite active for his
years, and seems in good spirits.
His hearing is keen but his eye
sight is almost gone, which makes
t necessary for his friends to lead
lim about when he comes up
own.

YOUNG VALLEY FARMER HIT
BY SKlDDING CAR;
LEAVES FAMILY

Arthur Chrisman, farmer, aged
about 35, lost his life in a car ac-
cident near the hour of midnight
Saturday. Chrisman, whose farm
is about IS miles north of Oswego,
was returning home accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Jay Gould, neigh
bors. Just west of a turn in the
highway, a mile east Of Oswego,
Chrisman stopped his Ford car to
patch a leaky tire. His car was
not we'll equipped with lights,
there being but one headlight and
no tail light. The two men were
working at the tire at the left side
of the car when Gould noticed
the lights of car coming toward
them from the east and warned
Chrisman that car was coming
and that he had better get in the
clear. Chrisman replied: "They
can see us, they won't hit us"
No Warning Light
The car coming was that of
Richard Schaale of Wolf Point
who was on his way to Oswego
accompanied by Gus Knapp, the
Oswego merchant With no red
light in the rear to warn him,
Schaale did not see the Chrisman
car until well around the bend and
close upon it. Schaale applied
the his brakes and made quick
swerve to the left and would have
cleared the other car had not the
rear end of his car skidded sharp
ly. possibly on account of the loose
gravel.
Wound In Head
The Ford received a hard swipe
and Chrisman, still at the side OF
the car, was struck and knocked
against his car A dent in his
head near the left temple was ap-
parently caused by being thrown
against the door handle. Gould
had gotten in the clear and Mrs.
Gould was out of the car and in
a safe position before the accident
happened.
Schaale's car went in the ditch
as a result of skidding but was
brought out again by the driver,

REV. JOHNSON CALLED
TO CHURCH ATBGZEMA \

The Rev. A. o. Johnson, pastor
of the First Lutheran church of
this city. has received call to
church in Bozeman. This invi-
tation to a larger church in
larger city is distinctly compii-
mentary to Rev. Johnson, but If
he accepts it it will mean great
loss to the local congregation and
community. Rev. Johnson eE4
pressed himself as feeling that
duty called him to enter the larger
field that offers. but stated that
the matter would come up for dis
cussion and probably for settle
ment at a meeting of officers OF
the local church Friday evening.
If the change is made il will be
within a month or two.
