The reason for this is not
to seek. Without the gangsters
and their playful ways there
would not be much interest in the
columns of the daily press IN or
binary times. The rival papers
fight for influence in the police
department and in gang circles.
The police high command is al
ways in close touch with the pow
erful booze and vice lords in CT
Zero and the North Side, head-
quarters of the CapOne and Bugs
Moran gangs respectively. The

Jingle the Tribune was on the

too much and was bumped off by
either the Tribune, a gangster,
the police or rival tipster for
some other paper. The Tribune
is now running the Jingle muir
der on an inside page. The Hearst
sheet still fronts it. But it is
clear that the newspapers have
not their hearts in the subject

From Medicine Lake Wave)
Among the late filings of candi-
dates for office was that of Miss
Marjorie Markuson of Medicine
Lake, for the office of County Su-
perintendent of Schools.
Miss Markuson's filing was brot
about by the continued insistence
of her friends throughout differ
ent sections of the county who
urged her to become a candidate,
knowing that, if elected, she will
fill the office in a most creditable
manner.
Miss Markuson is exceptionally
well qualified for the position from
an educational standpoint. She has
attended the Montana State Uni
versity at Missoula, the North Da-
kOta State University at Grand
Forks, and completed her univer-
sity work at Berkeley, Calf, where
she graduated from the Bernley
University, which is rated among
the highest educational institu-
tions. She was an honor graduate
and received at B. A. Degree. Lat
er, after having taught in the pub
tic schools of Montana she return
ed and took a post graduate sum-
mer course at Berkeley.
Miss Markuson has had practic-
al experience in teaching school,
having taught in the Medicine
Lake schools and for the past sew
eral terms has been a member OF
the high school faculty az Stan
ford, Montana. Her success and
, ability as a high school instructor
is proven by the fact that she was
elected as principal of the STAN
ford schools.
! No one that the voters have had
an OPT :rtunlty to place n The of
flee of County superintendent of
schools ha. been better qualified
from every standpoint than is
Miss Markuson and if they elect
