That Selfless Quality

No American can study the lives OF
this nations traditional heroes with
out being impressed by peculiar
quality of selflessness which distin-
guished their activities.
We can have no better illustrations
Of this fact than the lives of Lincoln
and Washington, whose anniversaries
we celebrate this month.
Because he must rank first In any
list of Americans, be they soldiers,
statesmen or common citizens, 1t Is
well to take first the case Of Wash
1ngton.
A rich man, he risked all his prop
erty as we'll as his freedom and very
life in the struggle for liberty. Had
he any concern other than the
espousal OF q principle and hope
for the future OF his fledgling coun-
try, he could have had a gorgeous
mess OF pottage as his purchase price
But the quality Of selflessness burned
In him like a flame. Amid struggles
which make our puny modern prob
lems Of mere adjustment seem in
significant, it famed brightest when
the need was greatest.
The quality rings through his pub
lie addresses. It marked his actions
as the nations first president. It's
whisperings caused him to reject the
suggestion that he set himself up as
king, caused his retirement at the
end OF his second term. Had he SO
willed, Washington might have set
up q dynasty in America, but his
dream Of q great, free people forbade
that and so we have the tradition OF
two terms as q maximum for presi-
dents, tradition which never has
been violated.
Lincoln offers proof from the other
extreme of the social scale. He was
born in poverty. knew the bitter
struggles for existence which came to
the poor on the frontier. Those early
days planted In his heart great
respect for the trials and tribula-
tions of his neighbors which stood
him in good stead when he essayed
the task Of guiding the nation
through one Of the most difficult Pc
riods of its existence.
Storms of condemnation and
calumny beat upon him such as have
beset few men, but he, too, drew upon
an inner spiritual strength and held
fast to the course which he believed
to be right.
The man stands out as a great hui
manitarian because he dared to
espouSe the cause Of a downtrodden
section of humanity and to defend
the spark of democracy when other
men were willing to trample it un-
derfoot. He was not, perhaps, quite
as great leader as Washington, but
the StaunchneSs OF his faith and the
greatness of his heart were unexcelled
by any human. In the dark hours
of his greatest service he gave Of
himself, not only for the nation but
for the lowlieSt creature In it whose
suffering came to his notice.
Thus our truly great heroes find
the essence OF their greatness in
things which are Of the spirit, rather
than Of the flesh. Purged by their
times of the baser elements Of
patriotism, they stand out like light
houses to American citizens today.
They serve notice upon us that only
when he forgets himself In firm deci-
sion to do his duty is q mans service
likely to be remembered.

OIL BOARD
NOT IN FAVOR
OF PROBATION

A statement that the. Petroleum
Conservation board OF Montana does
not desire proration In Montana oil
fields was issued Friday by E. b.
Coolidge, Chairman. Mr.. Coolidge
said in part:
This Board has no desire to pro-
ate any field in the State OF Mon
tana nor, in fact. exercise any
authority over the operation and
orderly development Of all produc-
ers and / might add that pressure
has been brought to bear for the
last two months to issue a prora-
ton order which this Board has
avoided due to the fact that the
members we're encouraged by the
operators who voted to give their
full cooperation to this Board to
handle the matter as the member
saw fit. If the operators will curtai1

demand we will continue to
get fair price for our

better for the operator and royalty
holder to sell one barrel Of oil for
$3.50 than two barrels OF oil at SIS
cents each and this is the vital point
In the Oil Conservation measure
that the National Recovery Act has
in view. This Board does not in
tend to issue any prorati0n orders
unless 1t Is proven that the oper-
ators themselves viii not cooperate
in an effort to avoid the production
Of oil that has no visible market
The proposition Is up to the opera
tors themselves. They are to make
the final answers as to what this
Board will be forced to do and /
assure you that we win be very re-
luctant to issue any orders to pro-
rate oil in the State Of Montana.
We have recently been notified
by Secretary Ickes as to our allo-
cation for the month of October,
TO $500 barrels and,
also, have been warned by Mr.
Margold, Chairman OF the Petroleum
Administrative Board, that they ex-
pect the State Board to handle the
and to curtail production

About 40 years ago we had this

its supplies practically exhausted. would

Something wemt wrong along the
line, because things that Ralph
ArmOId never thought of began 20
happen. Ideas OF an OH famine
were banished by the finding OF oil
in places where geolOgists said OH
