it destroys home markets for diver
sified farm production.
The last Republican national plat
form declared the position of the Re-
publican party on prohibition and par
ty regularity consists of standing
by that declaration, rather than send
ing to Washington a senator who will
oppose and embarrass the administ-
ration in the effort to make good on
this policy in the face of the fiercest
and most heavily financed opposition
the 18th amendment has yet encount-
cred. The 18th amendmeflt, which
was ratified by all but two Of the
states little more than ten years ago,
should be given time for it's vindica-
ton. The alternative saloon system
was tried for a couple of hundred
years in this country and was so un-
satisfactory at the end of that time
that the people overthrew it with re-
markable unanimity, as indicated by
the action of the legislatures of forty
six states. The truth is that the
Eighteenth amendment cannot be re-
pealed, at any time at least within
the period covered by the next sena-
torial term, and modification which
permits liquor with a sufficient "kick"
in it to be intoxicating cannot be had
under that amendment. From a prac-
tical standpoint, therefore, the outcry
against prohibition can have only one
effect, and one only-that is to en-
courage resistance to and violation
of the law. 1t is up to those who op-
pose prohibition to suggest salts
factory alternative; otherwise op-
position is unintelligent. If the ques-
tion Of repeal of the Eighteenth am
endment comes before Congress, Mr..
Shelley will vote against repeal. This
is the position of the Republican par
ty, upon which it carried the country
in 1928, and carried Montana by a
majority of more than 10000. That
the Republican rank and file of Mon
tana have turned "wet" during the
past two years does not seem prob
able, but your coming primary will
permit test Of that question.
In conclusion, my acquaintance with
Mr.. Shelley runs back to the time
when | assumed the secretaryship of
the National Republican committee
in 1921, and during that time he has
impressed me as man of unusual
qualifications for political and public
service. AS you know he was the
first man in the Rocky mountain re-
gion to give public statement in
favor of Herbert Hoover for presi-
dent. With yourself, he was active
in behalf of Mr.. Hoovers candidacy
for the nomination at time when
most of the leaders of your state
were quiescent or in opposition.
Knowing his capabilities and the al
ready expressed opinion of Montana
Republicans on the issues he repres-
ents, | am satisfied that his race for
the senatorial nomination will prove
surprise to many of the political
"old-timers' of your state, and
shall expect to hear from you stating
that he has been nominated on the
night of yoar primary.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE B. LOCKWOOD.

LOCAL SCHOOL
TO SEND DELEGA-
TION TO BILLINGS

A. M. Hartwig, athletic instructor
of the Carbon County high school,
will take a delegation of ten of the
schools athletes to Billings, Saturday,
May 3, to participate in the Midland
empire track meet, which will be held
at the Midland Empire fairgrounds
there.
Among the boys who will probably
be taken from this school are: Vern
Schwin, who is outstanding in the
hurdles and high jumping; Raefil
Puumala and Stanley Krop, the local
discus and weigh beavers; Oscar
Murdo, for pole-vaulting, javelin
throw and broad jumping; John Doran
who will represent Carbon county in
the 440-yard, and 8S0-yard runs; Leo
nard Koski, for the sprints and high
jumping; Tommy Gillen, who is also
an outstanding sprinter; and Waino
Laatikainen, first-year man, who is
exceptionally good with the javelin
and discus, and in the middle distance
runs.
The Billings Polytechnic institute
will act as host to the visiting teams
from all over the Midland Empire.
Director of physical education, Coach
Guy L. Rathbun, is sponsor and dir
ector of this event, which it is hoped
will develop into a great annual event.
Many small track meets are held
throughout the Midland Empire, but
no general effort to bring all schools
into competition has been undertaken
in the past. Coach Rathbun said
that it was his desire to begin an an
nual meeting which would mean
equally as much to the smaller schools
as the district basketball Journeys in
the early spring.
Bearcreek, Joliet, Hysham, Hardin,
Fromberg and Red Lodge have all
made entries of their complete teams.
Events which have been listed are
1OO-yard, 2O0-yard, 440-yard and S80-
yard for sprint events; 880-yard re-
lays, 100 and 220-yard hurdles, high
jumps, broad jumps, pole vault, shot
put, discus throw and javelin throw

BRUTAL CHINESE
SOLDIERY SACKS
!. ENTIRE VILLAGE
Kill, Loot RuthIeSSIy as De-

BY d. G. BESS
United Press STAFF Correspondent


REIPING, China, April 1.-THE
tragic story of the destruction Of an
entire village by bandits In western
Honan was told in a letter from an
American missionary received here.
More than $500 persons were
made homeless by the ruthless loot
ing of the soldiers, who, enraged at
the attempts of the villagers to re-
tain their independence, sacked the
town of Yang Pc.
Yang Pc people had been proud OF
their city for generations. They
particularly were proud of the city
wall, because it was old and yet
very strong. The residents kept 1t
in fine condition and felt secure iv-
ing behind it.
During the past few years, Honan
has been overrun with bandits, but
Yang Pos wall saved the city at
least one hundred times.
Sometimes bandit gangs larger
than the entire population of the
town attacked the place, but Yang
POS people trained themselves in
the art of self defense, and did a
lot of harm to bandits.
The townspeople had no faith In
the government, so they decided
they must save their own city. They
