LABOR FAVORS THE
RETURN OF SCOTT
LEAvITT TO HOUSE

Adding another organization to
the long list of those interested in
and actively supporting the candi
dacy of Congressman Scoott Leav-
tit, the Brotherhood of Mainten-
ance of Way Employees through
its grand lodge headquarters has
just registered approval of his
work and is urging his return to
congress.
In writing to Montana members
of the brotherhood in connection
with the coming election President
F. J. Fljozdal has stated that "this
is no time for making experiments
and you should be loyal to those
who have proved themselves fr-
lends of the workers and the mass
es of the people. = Hon. Scott
Leavitt, as stated above, has been
endorsed by the several legisla-
tive representatives and should re-
ce1ve the support OF our members
in the second district on November
A."
The American Federation of La
Dor has for a number of years
maintained record of the votes
of each member of congress on
matters of interest to labor. Tran
scripts of this record on Congress-
man Leavitt and his opponent in
the present campaign have just
been issued by the Federation and
comparison of the two is highly
complimentary to Mr.. Leavitt.
Last May Congressman Leavitt
received a statement comending
him for his activity which was
signed by over 400 railroad work.
ers and others in southern and east
ern Montana interested in matters
affecting labor. This is but one of
many evidences of the esteem in
which he is held which have come
to the congressman during his SER
vice in the house of representa-
tives.

Foreword

"Why so worried?" asked Ma
thaniel Hawthorne, one day upon
meeting Thomas jefferson. "Be-
cause" answered Jefferson, 1--WE
got to Write The Declaration of
Independence" 'That's nothing, y
said Hawthorne, 1--WE got to write
the preface of a book"
| don't remember who invent
ed that lie; maybe / did myself,
ttut no matter, it illustrates a
point. 1t has long been the GUS
tom of writers to write preface
or foreword, the purpose of which
is to warn innocent readers that
what they are about to read
of the writer's writing will be done
at the readers peril.
In this column at an early date
will appear the first installment
of a gripping historical novel en-
titled, 'The Awakening; the scene
of which is laid on Red Lodge CIR
eek in the western part of this
county. Every word of it will be
founded On fact and nothing will
be left to the imagination. I vio-
late no condolences when I confide
right here that "The Awakening"
will be a love story. The human
heart will be laid bare, in fact it
will be taken out, examined, brush
ed up, oiled and put back together
again.
Intrigue, villainy, deception and
requieted and unrequieted love
will permeate the story throughout
and there will be heart throbs
scattered all over it like fireflies
On a clover field. Then too, there
may be the binding together of
two trusting hearts if the roads
don't get too bad out Luther way,
about Christmas time. There will
be very few characters in it, two
or possibly three are about all that

TO DEVELOP THREE
NEW WELLS IN
DRY CREEK. FIELD

Continued from Page 1
y-Seagraves interests will no doubt
follow suit.
1t is also reported that the Ohio
will Immediately begin constuc-
ton of one of the most modern and
up-to-date plants for the extrac-
ton of natural gasoline from the
gas produced from the Dry Greek
wells, in the United States. The
plant is to be located in Dry Or
eek and will cost .S350,00O, which
will mean big addition to the
income of the land owners and roy
| atty owners in Dry Creek.
Everything points to early devel-
opment of the field. The perman-
ant camp will be located on the
site it now occupies, and the res
idents of Carbon county are very
lucky to have as much develop
ment work in sight as there now is,
considering the condition of the oil
industry, which is in very bad
condition.
The development of Dry Creek
as a large producer of oil depends
on the condition of the oil indus
try as a whole, and at the present
time cheap foreign oil is being
shipped into the United States in
enormous quantities. 1t is pro-
duced by cheap foreign labor and
put on the market cheaper than it
can be produced in this country,
thereby throwing thousands of oil
workers out of employment, Grip
ping this large industry and the
production tax to the state and
county total loss.
We have concrete example RI
ght here in our own Carbon Coun-
ty. We have an oil field within our
borders second to none. We need a
tariff of at least 81 a barrel ON
the foreign oil, or our field will
not be developed extensively, VIII
ich will be direct loss to every
man, woman and child in Carbon
county. One of our senatorial can
didates is directly opposed to this
tariff. The other one is 100 per
cent for it. This issue comes di-
rectly home to all of us here in
Carbon county and is far more i'm
portant to us than all the rest of
the issues put together, because it
hits us right in the pocket book.
1t would seem that now is a time
for us to support an out and out
tariff man to the absolute limit
in Carbon county. Z

CIVIL WAR DIARY
IS POSSESSION
OF JAMES \. MAY

A small black diary, the leaves
turned yellow with age but the
writing well preserved, containing
Incidents of the adventurous life
of confederate soldier in the Gil
vii War, is in the possession of ia
mes II. May of Red Lodge. The
book was carried in the uniform
of his grandfather, Charles Edw.
Hood, who made entries in it from
Sept. 5, 1861 to March 23, 1862.
The first notes were entered at
Muldraughs Hill, Kentucky when
the late Mr. Hood was 18th Corpor
al of Company Al, Kentucky Cav
airy under Captain Oliver F. Boo
tn.
Among the interesting entries
was one, mentioning an increase
in monthly compensation from the
government from $14 to SIT. That
was when he was made quarter
master sergeant in October 1861.
While at Camp Andy johnson, five
miles southwest of Nashville, Ten
nessee in March 1862, he wrote
there is scarcity of rebels in and
about their old haunts at Bowling
Green and Nashville" He listed
a few wartime prices on staple
groceries, etc, among them being
flour, 60 cents a pound; salt, 10
cents; butter, 40 cents; dried beef,
30 cents; gunpowder, SIPS a po-
und; eggs, 30 cents a dozen; chick
ems, 40 cents each; boots, $40. He
failed to state the quantity when
he listed whiskey at $3.50.

The Teachers

Carbon county's teachers are at
tending a teachers convention in
Billings today. The sessions there
will continue until Saturday and
much good will or should result.
Good teaching is the key to a
successful school system. Fine
buildings, elegant furnishings and
elaborate equipment are alright
and play their part but unless
there are skillful teachers, the Ella
borate and expensive facilities are
largely wasted and failure is writ
ten large over the whole enter
prise.
School is the place for instruc-
ton and guidance. 1t is more than
that, it is the place for the instill-
alton of inspiration to the better
things of life. 1t is the place to
rightly direct young America into
and along the paths of noble liv-
ing.
Lecturing some immature stu
dent is not teaching. Good inten-
tions alone will not suffice. A str
ong and attractive personality is
a very vital factor in teaching but
it is not enough. Great knowledge
is highly to be desired, although
some really great teachers have
not been profound scholars. The re
ally great teacher combines in
some degree all the characteristics
just mentioned.
The highly superior teacher by
the force of her personality, her
knowledge, her skill, her methods
and her enthusiasm, leads the stu
dents unerringly into the very
heart of the subject in hand. She
secures gladstone and willing obed-
fence.
The really successful teacher is
an inspiration, not a task master
or mistress. Such teacher has
sympathetic understanding of the
hopes and ambitions as well as of
the obstacles and difficulties that
accelerate or impede the progress
of the boys and girls under his or
her charge. Such a teacher has or
should have the rare faculty of
making students happy, not dis
contented in their work.
None but the noble and the pure
of heart should be allowed to teach,
because their works endure forev-
er. If they do not possess those
qualities they have no place among
5he workers in the noblest calling in
the world. Mind touches mind, Ell
Their to beautify or to pollute;
character touches character either
to adorn or to blacken; soul touch
es soul either to bless or to blur.
In great measure, like ministers,
the Great Teacher should be their
exemplar.
1t is not only the province of |
the teacher to lead the child in
the paths of knowledge, but it is
also in the teachers power to in
sire honesty and to impress the
principles of truth and virtue. A
blessed with good tea
cheers is sure to be blessed with an
and worthy citizenship.

WHAT YOU CAN Do

The organized labor movement is
the one agency that stands for the
rights and interests of the great
masses of human beings who have
not the influence or the power to
shape events to their own advantage
or even protection. 1t is the labor
movement that makes labor policies,
that makes civil and legal rights real
tiles, that makes known the need for
better homes, better public schools,
for better working conditions, higher
wages, changes in work rules.
When the cooperation of labor is
needed in an emergency such as the
recent stock exchange liquidation, the
organized labor movement is the only
agency that can act and speak with
authority for wage earners. When
| there is any need for the formulation
of opinion or action by wage earners,
the organized labor movement is the
only agency that can be effective.
1t was the organized labor move
ment that spoke for and helped secure
the establishment Of our free public
school system, universal suffrage, bu-
reaus of labor statistics, workmen's s
compensation laws, the American
high wage principle, the shorter work
day and week. These are important
factors in providing opportunities for
all, in making the necessaries and
luxuries of life available to those
with moderate incomes, in making life
richer and happier for all.
Major responsibility for maintain
ing this constructive agency rests
upon wage earners. You have long
been a member and have been doing
what you personally could. That is
much, but you can increase your in
fluence by giving yourself the respon-
sibility for getting at least one new
| member each year. These union mem
bers would be way of perpetuating
your union as well as adding to its
influence.
The American Federation of Labor
urges every trade unionist to begin
with 1880 and get one new member
every year

Elephant Herd Bound"
by Black Mans Magic !?

Major Court-Treattt of the Cape
Cairo motor expedition was the first
white man who hunted and killed
elephants on foot with spear. "While
/ was on this Spear-hunting safari."
he said, I'VE followed several herds
into waterless country in the Bahr-el-
Ghazal district of the Sudan, where
the elephants usually trek to water
only every third or fourth night.
When they do, nothing will stop them.
We followed this particular herd all
day, and at night l was ready to give
up. made camp and stopped. Babal-
la, young hard-bitten Mandala hunt
er, who was said to be something of
magician, then came to me and said
he thought he could bind the herd
with his magic rope. These magic
ropes are not uncommon in Africa.
They are usually about yard long
and made Of Dompalm fiber. Baballa
sat down with the rope in his hands,
and went through the motions of tying
his arms, legs, ankles and neck, NUT
tering incantations as he did so. His
muscles became taut. and he relapsed
into a semi-trance. He sat so for
few minutes, and then suddenly re-
laxed, grunted That Is good and rose
to his feet. Next morning we ran into
the elephants only half mile from
camp. and killed one! They were al
most stationary. BY all reckonings
they should have been miles away"
