George Huckins, who with his

and il worked as well as ever.
They accepted money for invest
ment from people in Wisconsin
and Iowa, promising a return of
from 26 to 81 per cent. 1t is a
shame 10 invoke the law against
those men. Those who invested
their money with the Huckins
bows got as much Of a kick out of
losing it as those that dropped it
into the Wall Street pit as a tes-
tmOny of their confidence in Hoo
ya prosperity Why not arrest
those who gave up their money as
accessories before and after the
fact? Or have them committed
10 insane asylums.

Major General SmedIey Butler
Of the U. S. Marines bOasted at
meeting in Pittsburgh that the
'deyil-dOgs" always get their man
elected in Nicaragua or Haiti.
This may be a surprise to many
Of you who thOt the object of the
American armies of occupation in
backward countries is to enable
the natives to indulge in the lux
uy of electing the candidates of
their choice by ballots instead of
bullets. Smedley says that the
bayOnet is mightier than the pen
al. Thus does American demo-
cracy move its wonders to per-
form.
Right here in Montana we learn
mat man once fired by the Ana
'onda Mining Company or who
quit his job for any reason is
forever ne barred from employment
with the copper trust. He NAV
s fired for being caught reading

Se beneficial for the workers to
nave union. At that the Nicar-
agaanS and Haitians that our Mon.
'ana senator's grive over in Con-
slpSS are not much worse off in
IN ae matter of freedom than are
us american workers under the
MOus'rlal feudalism of the Ana
OnOa Mining Company.
