LET THE PUBLIC SUPPORT THEM.

The following Editorial is clipped from the Nation"
1t is true, as is stated, that there are too few INDEPEND-
EMIT presses in the State of Montana. The Montana
Labor News prides itself on being on the list of non-Com-
pany papers. One prominent man of the State places
three papers on the list of torch-bearers, The Western
Progressive, the Western News and the Montana Labor
News. Let the Public support these papers that light
their battles instead of supporting and paying the deficit
of the papers founded for the purpose of fostering the
ambitions of the Absentee Landlords who care nothing
for the interests of the struggling masses who made Mon
'tana a mighty State.
Montana is noted chiefly for its high mountains and
low politics. Within its borders a free newspaper is as
exotic as a rubber plant-and even with great care sell
dom survives as long. The kept press is all the more
vicious in its effects because it's ownership is technically
hidden. Subsidies are called loans and the labels indie
pendent Democratic and Republican are carefully
displayed. 1t is not uncommon either to find ringing lib
eral sentiments on the editorial pages of the company
press-and perhaps not everyone notices that these SEN
timents are concerned with questions outside of Montana.
The trial of honest journalism in that beautiful land is
marked by the bones of newspapers that thought liberal
ism should begin at home. But the trail does persist.
The Western Progressive, a Helena weekly, is the latest
addition to that small group of papers which manage to
remain alive and free. The fight of the Western Pro-
gressive is the same old fight-against the Anaconda and
Montana Power companies, which are the same oppo-
nent. The immediate objective is to elect enough free
members of the state legislature to force the companies
to pay their just share of taxes; and the same old prob
lens are to be met-of taxpayers associations controlled
by company agents, of legislators in both parties doing
the bidding of their real masters. But we hope that the
Western Progressive and its comrade papers will per-
sist"

.ests, by excessive rates for light, power, telephone service
and other forms of extortion, made possible through these
agencies. This is accomplished by the publishing of mis-
porting to be authentic news and unbiased editorial ex-
pressions. The people are blinded to their own interests
by specious arguments. There has been no independent
voice strong enough to take issue with these organs and
get the truth to the people. 1t may even be said that
many have been SO long deluded that the truth is hard for
them to recognize.
1t is high time that this situation is corrected. 1t is
high time that light is let in upon this situation which is
curate knowledge and understanding of the matters that
have a direct bearing on their ability to govern themselves
and control the elements that provide for their rights to
liberty and the pursuit of happiness"

IF GOVERNOR RoLPH WERE HONEST.

Here is the decision in regard to freeing Mooney that
Governor James Roph, Jr, of California, should have
written, if Governor Rolph were honest:
This is the eighth time that the case of Tom Mooney
falsely accused of bombing a Preparedness Day" par
ade in 1917, has come up for review before judicial and
administrative officials. Tom Mooney has become a
damned nuisance, but have to go through the form OF
reviewing the case again, because the facts in the matter
stink to high heaven, so that even some of the more de-
cent of the capitalists keep Fostering me about it.
The facts are these: Tom Mooney was disturbing the
employers of California with his attempts. to ogranlze
the workers to build a new civilization in which workers
would actually get the full fruits of their labor! OBJ
viously, he was dangerous, and the Preparedness Day"
bombing gave a mighty good excuse to put HIM away,
Unfortunately, the state couldn't hang him, because the
workers all over the world raised such a protest that the
President himself was afraid of international complica-
tons. So Mooney has stayed in the state penitentiary
on a life sentence, plaguing the life Of every governor and
court possible.
I'd like to turn him loose, so | could have some peace
and maintain my reputation as a liberal" Unfortun-
ately, two considerations make that impossible.
First, | can't pardon Mooney without admitting a
shameful blot on California justice as exemplified in the
decisions of four supreme courts and three governors.
| have to work with my organization to hold my office,
and | can't slap my political associates that way.
Second, these are mighty hard times in California. If
| turn Mooney loose now, he'll be right back at his old
organizing activity. The hell of it is that he's a good
organizer, and would be better now than ever. Turn
him loose, and he'll agitate against some of the employ
es of the state who contribute to my campaign funds.
That would not be very decent of me, would it?
Of course, if | don't turn hin loose, a lot of voters
won't like that, either. That makes it hard. However,
l don't think the danger is very great, because when cleo
ton comes around we can lean back on our carefully
prepared rs, 900 words of justification, and that will an
swer part of those voters. And then we can bring in a
few issues like prohibition, for example, and a lot of
folks will forget all about Mooney. Nobody can keep
his eyes on all three rings of our political circus at the
same time.
OF course, if there were a strong labor political move
ment in California, | might have to turn him loose at that,
but the WorkerS-all except those pests, the Socialist
will go to the polls to reward" their friends on the cap
italist parties. And what capitalist candidate would
ever come out definitely to free Mooney?
No, Mooney is safer in Jail. Let him stay there.

Though they ignore the common roar,
When the companies speak, they listen.
And Greene, Stewart and Muir,
A grand and great addition;
Handshaking, grinning robots,
Granting all corporate petitions.
And John, our Governor, with A. c.. M. permis-

Has all his foolish capers
Praised by company papers,
Though this may be sedition.
Two terms hath John,
He seeks one more to right the score
And save us from perdition.
The Attorney General erudite
Completes this coalition,
By one Foot led when we need a head,
Twelve years of i~nanition.
But Foot hath a commission
Promoted to a major on the bloody fields of
labor,
For bayonetting miners,
Protesting their condition.
The Father of our Country
In his erudition, devised the plan
Two terms per man,
All else was vile ambition.

Let's lop off all their pay
Obey this admonition.

In his erudition, devised the plan
Two terms per man,
Al. else was vile ambition.
So on election day,
Let's lop off all their pay
Obey this admonition.
The press committee announces the arrival of a New
Editor upon the scene. He weighed seven pounds and
at the time of publication will be three days old. Like
his old man he is already bowling about conditions in
Butte and states that when he gets a chance to write he
will make the paper burn.
He is also giving his "old man editor a few lessons in
first-class kicking.
But getting back to conditions: Not only are more
stores closing but the Montana Power is going the Com
pany one better on the matter of parttime employment,
many of their men working only ten days per month.
No wonder one of the Power Company superintendent
in the State chose a bullet through the head rather than
carry on under present conditions and policies. At
least he had some conscience.
But the Editor has had his say and will turn the type
writer over to Hearty who always accommodates with a
hot keyboard.

The editor also saw 953 men being fed at the Saliva

transients. The rest were Butte men.
There are also some 1000 families on the relief fund

about so per cent of Butte.
The rooters had better cut out the mouth-work and get
down to a little brain work before things get worse.

 Low scores again featured the bowling. The bowlers who went to Ketchikan took with them many 'favorite" balls, and as a result the boys left behind are handi- capped in their sharpshooting thsee nights.

 There will be no bowling to- night on account of lodge.
