The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1930-07-18

The cryptic letters heading this editorial call for
an explanation for the benefit of those who have
never had tie doubtful pleasure of living in coun-
try where the Union Jack, symbol of British I'M
perialism, floats in the breeze 1t will need no ex-
PLANTATION for Sir Burey Bowler, His Majestys
servant in Scobey. The letters spell out "0n His
Majesty's Service"
Once in a while Burley forgets that he is
longer living under the folds of the hated Union
Jack; that he lives in a country where the Stars
and Stripes wave. But his periods of loyalty to
the country that tolerates him few and far be-
tween
Burley is raving against those Americans
who oppose the naval treaty recently signed by the
agents of Wall Street in London According to
the best American opinion this treaty sells out
American sea power to England-Sir Burleys
homeland. of course Burley being On His Males
tvs Service, goes to bat for the Hempire much to
the disgust of the good Americans of Daniels
county.
Burley claims that the treaty is o. K that
Britain is entitled to rule the and waive the
rules and furthermore that save lot of
money by letting England shoulder the response
bity of keeping the ocean free of pirates and 9TH
er evi-doers. Well, wouldn't that sock you!
Burnley escaped being run out of the United
States by the skin of his teeth. All the decent
elements in Scobey wanted to send His Majestys
punk across the line but Scott Leavitt came to his
assistance and by pulling all the wires possible
Burnley given a respite: He was told, how
ever that he must go across the border and re-
turn with his clothes on or at least clean shirt
and pair of pants. 1t viii be remembered that
1 the first time Burley inflicted himself on this
country-it when war was declared-he cross
ed the line in his underwear and never halted un-
til he reached Flaxville
Burley also told by his Republican friends
that he should lay low and not butt into politics
There is lot of Anti British feeling in the United
States and particularly in Montana and the citi-
zenry do not like the idea of Britishers getting
too fresh with their political affairs. Tho they
have liked the British several times they have an
idea they may have to lick them again inside of
a few years and they feel that the less British
spies there in this country the better SEQ
hey citizens are firmly convinced that Burley is a
Scotland Yard man. He was notorious as a hound
er of Germans and Scandinavian citizens during
the war, being only outdone in his hatred of those
great peoples by ''Lckspitte" Lard Olson of Plen-
tywood.
AS part of his duty here, Burley never misses
an opportunity to defame the United States anC
our Institutions The British feature this country
as a land of crime and criminals. They boas
about the efficiency of their own police and tn,
incorruptibility of the British courts This is al
hooey.
Burley seized on the murder of Alfred Lingle O.
Chicago, Republican racketeer and reporter O.
the Chicago Tribune as another excuse to pour hi
filth on the American people. 1t happens tina
Lingle playing te same role in Chicago tina
Burey is playing in Scobey. Lingle was the linl
between the Chicago Tribune and Scarface AL Ca
pone just Burley is the link between the Dan
iels County Leader and Ted Fat Boy Winters
Lngle sold protection to the houses of assgnatio1
IN Chicago thru his pull with the police commits
sioner. Burley sells protection to the notoriou
Gorham Hotel thru his connection with "Fat Bow
Winters of the border patrol. Commissioner Rus
sell of Chicago lost his job because of his connec
tons with Lingle. Agent Woodward of Scobe
lost his job because of his relations with Burley.
The federal government is now making a ser
Gus effort to crush crime and the underworld
is reported that Chairman Wickersham of Hoov
er's crime commission intends to make visit
Scobey, to investigate Burley "Fat Boy" Winter
and the gang that makes its headquarterr in tn
Gorham Hotel. If they get the goods on Burle
he IS doomed to deportation. Several citizens {
Scobey are reported to have raised the question
Burley's continued residence in Scobey to the a
tention of Senator Walsh. It is reported that
J. is looking for opportunity to puts the skiC
under the noted Scobey criminal.
Burley had better lay off attacking the u. S. ]
