things. Luck was with me. l

who he is but he is an outsider

The paper is edited by a half

MEXICO RUPTURE
WITH REDS LAID
TO WALL STREET

Washington, d. c., Jan. 3d.
Foes of Soviet recognition in the
capital are chuckling over the sew
erence of diplomatic relations with
Russia by Mexico over anti-Mexi-
can demonstrations staged by the
communists in the United States
and other countries, in protest a
gainst the persecution of radicals
by the Mexican government. The
government of the southern repub-
lie blamed Moscow for the pro-
test meetings.
The action of Mexico in recall
ing its minister at Moscow is re-
garded here as victory for Amer
lean imperialism and Ambassador
Morrow, member of the House OF
Morgan and darling of the liberal
intelligentzia is given due credit
for bringing about the break.
The Wall Street government in
Washington always resented the
fact that Mexico was the only
North American government hav-
inc diplomatic relation swith Mos
cow and during Kellogg's reign in
the state department he was con-
stantly accusing the Mexican gov
eminent with being an agen Of the
BolsheviH IN the western hemis-
phere.
The appointment of Morrow,
the representative of finance cap
ital. to Mexico brought about a
gradual change in the relations
between Mexico and Washington,
and also IN the relations between
Mexico City and Moscow. The
former progressed towards cor
aialitv while the latter grew stead
in colder. Morrow was doing his
work well. He used the golden
bullet" effectively and SO subtly
did he work that he had Ameri-
ear liberals ike Oswald Garrison
Willard and socialists ike the Rev.
Norman Thomas showering praise
~ him for his humanitarianism.
Those same liberals viii now
blame the Communists for the
,,nfure. But what the Commu-
-;ets were protesting against were

oI,,tion. that has now. forsaken

better than he is. He is no hypo-
critic. / hate a hypocrite.
Why did Mig run the place ne
did? Simply because there was a
demand for it, and why come out
and boiler so much about his
place, when there are places right
on the Main street of Plentywood
where you can get the same thins
he was dealing in if you have the
price. This l know because it has
been offered to me.
The Respectable People!
Who was it kept "Nig's" place
going and patronized it? 1t was
not the young people or the
working stiffs. They have no
money to spend for luxuries like
that. 1t was the supposed-to-be
better class, the supposed-to-be
respectable people-it was the
verv same class of people who are
supporting the Plentywood Her
aid.
They could get the very same
thing in town-that's true enough
but ',Nig's" place being out OF
town they could go there and raise
hell to their hearts content and
their wives were not so liable to
find it out, and nobody needed to
go there if they did not want to.
The Graveled Road.
Why did the county commission
ers gravel the road all the way
from Plentywood out to mig:
place-and no further-just stop
ped the crawling right at hi:
place? Simply because they them
selves and the rest of the social
ed better class could get tt
"Nig's" and get their chicken
stew or stewed chicken any timt

SPANISH MONARCH TIES THE OLD CAN
TO FASCIST DICTATOR'S PLEBIAN TAIL

Madrid, Jan. 2S.-Premier Pri-
mo De Rivera brought his dicta-
torship of more than six years TO
a close Tuesday night by dramat-
ically announcing that King Al
fonso had accepted his resigna-
ton.
Gen. Damaso Berenguer, chief
of the royal military household,
was appointed 10 carry on his
place.
III health was cited by De Riv-
era as the reason for his with
drawal from the helm of govern
ment. An impulsive faux pas, in
which he encroached on the kings
traditional prerogatives, was held
to be the real and immediate
cause.
At 500 p. m. the 6O-year-old
dictator went 30 the royal palace
He told newspaper men there,
some of whom already had veri-
fled his resignation:
81 am going to give the king an
account of certain matter. When
come out / will give you news. .
He remained with the king 20
minutes, presenting formal let
ter of resignation.
Last month the dictator indicat-
ed he wished to stay only six
months longer, turning over his
power gradually TO some new re-
gime, the exact nature Of which
remained 10 be decided.
Then events reached what he
called an Ainsidious" stage. There
were student strikes, rumors of
rebellion in the army, a crisis in
national currency, frequent open
attacks against his regime.

first class crime quiz that was
shaking Plentywood to its founda-
ton, Joe felt a little small, having
only a few flashilght thieves tc
track to their lairs. But with a
smile he proceeded to do his duty.
He would sacrifice his pride for
the sake of others. THAT'S what
they all say" unused Joe.
Came the roundup. Among
those questioned was Robert Rob-
Ike, Jr., a young man of many
schemes. He calmly admitted that
he took some of the lights but in
sisted that it wa a sprig from the
Dionne family tree that opened
the window and grabbed the loot.
Rookie admitted having sold two of
the flashlights but was unable to
give the names or addresses of the
purchasers.
So Joe bearing up philosophic-
ally under his boss and even finds
time to crack a joke at his own
expense. Indeed, he tells your cor
respondent that he has not laugh
ed so much since Harry Hilyard's
hogs died on the crest of a cold
wave. Or since a rival barber call
ed up Louis Moe one busy Satur-
day afternoon and asked him for
the loan of his cash register.
Another section of the crime
wave hit the elevators by the rail
road tracks. A number of young
lads were questioned about steal
ing wheat for some Pagan, who
is alleged to have sent them out
on their errands of mischief with
the assurance that if they got in
to trouble with the law their fines
would be paid. Whether this had
any basis in fact or not your cor
respondent will not swear, but
anyhow it made one more quiz for
the county attorney.

pening. which the British censors
suppressed through the regular
channels. Col. Wallace frustrated
the censors' doings by giving the
news to the New York newspa-
pers. He was able to get a first
page story in the New York
World interpreting the revolu-
ton, which was the big news
scoop of that journal in 1916. This
story was responsible for break
ing down the wall of silence Eng
land had erected around the Irish
rising and forcing the Marquis of
Aberdeen, who was then in New
York as a representative of the
British Government to reply to
Col. Wallace and try to minimize
the insurrection by referring to it
as a "riot," etc. Lord Aberdeen
was viceroy of Ireland the years
previous to the organizing of the
Volunteers, when Col. Wallace
conducted a concentrated cam
paign against the landlords of
Galway and succeeded in forcing
the division of many great es-
tates among the tillers of the soil
there. During the lord lieuten-
ancy of Aberdeen the anti-land-
lord leaders, headed by Col. Wal
lace, were arrested and jailed sew
eral times. In one of his reports
to Downing street the viceroy is
said to have remarked that every
thing was peaceful in Ireland ex-
eept the territories occupied by
Carson in the north, Larkin in the
east and Wallace in the west. The
three gentlemen named are re-
sponsible for most of the turmoil
in Ireland"
ALL HIS FRIENDS DEAD
While in New York Wallace
worked for the arming of the
Volunteers in Ireland. He was a
close friend of James K. Mcclure,
John F. Kelly of Pittsfield, Rob-
ert Ford of the Irish World, John
O'Connor of The Advocate, John
Dewey and other men in New
York in those days when the Irish
cause looked dark. He formulat-
ed plans for the landing of arms
in Ireland which to a large extent
were carried out ultimately.
For a number of years he has
lived in Montana, where he has
been prominent as an editor, law
yer and politician. In comparison
with his turbulent experiences in
the Irish movement he has led a
comparatively quiet existence in
Montana, where he is well known
and respected.
The Colonel expects to leave fol
the West within a few days.
