an inquiry into the extent of this
system of industrial espionage in
all its ramifications, and to report
to the senate what legislation, in
the committees judgment, is de-
slrable to correct such practices as
they may find inimical to the pub
lie welfare"
If possible, the senator intends
now to steer clear of the commit
tee on education and labor, from
which he never has been able to
extract a report concerning any of
his past resolutions.
A labor committee, the bulk of
senatorial influence has tended to
keep it conservative-maybe too
much so to fancy such an inquiry.
True, under Senator Borah's
Craftsmanship it was rich in prom
lse-but somehow it did nothing.
Senator Phipps' ensuing chairman
ship failed to yield even promise.
The. Montanan is not wildly opti-
mistic enough to look for better
results under the present chair
manship of Senator Metcalf.
For any action, different COM
mittee seems to be indicated.
Study of other anti-radical out
bursts perhaps has qualified Sen
atOr Wheeler to consider himself
expert in recognizing their ad-
vance symptoms.
AS district attorney at Butte,
he did his best to stem the war
time epidemic of hysteria. His eff
forts in behalf of an investigation
of the textile situation (northerr
as well as southern) have familiar.

regions anti-red complex.
The campaign by certain power
interests to smear Senator Howell
of Nebraska, with the communis
tic stigma (mentioned as the onl,
thing necessary, regardless of hi
real views or record), as reveale,
before the federal trade commits
sion, has duly gone into the Mon
tana's scrap book.
The conspiracy to stop his owl
investigatorial activities, by means
of an Indictment based on a per
jured charge of corruption, probab
ly has not been forgotten by him
What the senator hopes is tt

attack by the vaccination method
immunizing the patient before th'
disease grips him.

The warrant was issued on

made by one William Smith

November he purchased three

Ella Johnson for which he paid

Smith, accused of selling liquor in
1927, contended the Jones act was
unconstitutional, chiefly because it
transferred from the jury to the

of guilty. The court overruled
them on the question on the
ground the wisdom of the law was
one for congress to decide, not the
cAurt.

takes over the administration of
the 10Th prohibition district at
Helena. The administrators Of

though Administrator E. S. Ross

Dear Senator Taylor
For some time have been studying the Producers

follows:
Q)-The News stands for something definite and
coherent It's editor does not sit on the fence when
important public issues arise He takes definite stands
either for against and, however reader may feel
regarding particular problem he must admit that de
cided editorial views will bring out the merit or de-
merit of the proposition quicker than any other agen
cy.
(2)-The News efficiently and effectively covers it's
territory, carrying comprehensive and interesting
ticles on timely local subjects While it has branched
out into wider fields, it has not allowed itself to slack

(3)-Keeping pace with a progressive movement
among the more prominent western weelies the News
has inaugurated weekly telegraphicmal service of
the United Press which gives its readers the of

Grain prices in the Chicago
wheat pit rose last week ON re-
ceipt of a report that the Argen-

sad reflection on an economic

country stand to gain by the mis-
fortune Of another people.

Resolutions On The Life Of Mrs.
Leila Morris


AT the Sunday school hour, at the
local Methodist Episcopal church,
last Sunday, resolutions were read
on the life of Mrs. c. H. Morris, by
Mrs. Annie r. Rusk, chairman of a
resolution committee, as follows:
Whereas, the life of Leila N. Nor
ris. which was lived in this COM
munity until a few months ago, and
whose lifeless form was so recently
brought back to the old home and
church she loved,
Resolved, that we the members
Of the NJ f. church and Sunday
school of McConnelsville O.. extend
TO the family our sympathy for them
in this bereavement that has come
to them; and that we express te
them the sense of sorrow and loss
that is felt by US for one whose life
was so closely linked with ours
Hardly had the readjustment come
to the loss that was felt when she
moved away, hardly had we become
accustomed to the vacant place il all
the various societies when the news
came of her death. Now that a full
realization that her CHEEKY word and
smile of greeting will be heard and
seen no more, we feel a deeper sense
of loss than words can tell.
Gifted in conversation. CHEEKY in
disposition, and with a knowledge
born of her varied experiences, her
presence in any social gathering was
always an acquisition.
The gift of expressing herself in
songs, and her unusual ability in ac-
companying the same made her tai
ents always in demand. In the
prayer or evangelistic service she
was always ready with an appro-
pirate song or passage of Scrip
ture at her tongues end, and equal
ly ready with the skillful touch of
her finger-tips to emphasize some
thought expressed. Sometimes
weary service was transformed by
her to one of JOY and comfort to
some waiting heart
Giving words of comfort to those
in grief or trouble while bearing
her own burden of sorrow gave an
added significance to her words ana
made her blessing to those to
whom she thus ministered.
Deeply religious and unwayering
in her Christian faith, her devo-.
tion to the church and all for which
it stands, is conceded by all to have
been. the ruling motive of her life.
Her unusual religious experience
was to her the great verify of her
existence and her prayers seemed to
bear the church to the very throne
of God.
The whole church mourns because
of her passing, but the loss is not
all loss, for the influence of her
Christian character, her spirit Of
submission to the Divine will, her
life of devotion to her family, to the
church and to God is not lost. The
influence and fragrance OF this lifa
Will remain with us.
Il will take little nap now, =
with these words she was away, to
take-not a little nap. but a long
rest that will end in a fearless
morning and an endless life" She
is not dead, she is just away.-An-
