three months. Fortune favored him In
that the winter was mild, otherwise
he could not have forced his way back,
and the story of Bannack's first winter
would have been a tragedy. This was
Roe's first big achievement. He be-

and his wealth went to reclaim the land
Of his adoption, to establish banks and
other enterprises which have helped to
develop the country. He was a real
force in early day Montana, and be-
cause he s~teadfastly refused political
honors there are few in other parts of
the state who know Of his achieve
ments.
When Mr.. Rowe went to Salt Lake
he took with him gold dust and green
back currency Of the United States
government, and the Mormons, who
knew little Of what was happening in
the outside world, refused his money
as so much worthless paper and his
gold dust as of no value whatever. FL
nally a man was found in the colony
who knew the value of the currency
and the yellow metal, and on his ap-
prevail Roe was able to make his pur-
chases. Roe came to the United States
from England when he was a boy Of 20.
He helped, with his hands in the build
ing of Poweshiek, Iowa, and when gold

as Jefferson territory, stampeded for
the new find. His brother accompanied

modest supply of provisions and de-
pended on their rifles for their meat.
After two years work in the quartz
mines around Central City, Roe joined
an expedition which was going to the
Salmon river country, where, according
to rumor, rich placer diggings had been
discovered. They left Denver in May,
and late SHOWS made their trip a win
ter journey. They made their own
road, ferried their oXen across swollen
rivers, drowning an occasional mar in
such attempts, and finally, when they
arrived at Salmon City, travel worn
and exhausted, found that the mines
were still 300 miles away.
The expedition went on. When it had
covered perhaps half the distance news
came of rich discoveries in Montana.
The mar who brought the news agreed
to guide the train to the new discovery
for $3.50, and under his guidance the
expedition arrived in Deer Lodge In
1862. While there men who had been
with the expedition when it left Color
ado came into camp and reported a
better gold prospect on a stream they
had crossed. and Roe, with several
others, went to the new find and locat-
ed claims.
This was the founding of Banack,
soon afterwards to be the Mecca of
gold hunters from all over the country,
and a few years later to become the
first capital of the new territory of
Montana. Roe and his fellows did not
know it, but a great state was in ira
vail, and their efforts were fastening
its coming.
The first day Roe and his friends
washed out $40 in gold dust. They
thought, as did others who came after
them, that they had found a bonanza,
and were all rich men. They worked

Brad's muscles snapped into action this

4 F MEAT prices continue to rise, we
may all be vegetarians before the
Winter is over Investigators report
that in many parts of the country
children are actually eating spinach.
This indicates a weakening of youthful
morale.
Experience has shown that meatlesS
diet is quite capable of sustaining life.
But the life is usually rather an odd one.
Though vegetables can supply all the food
elements the body may require, some
thing is lacking; hence vegetarians are
prone to take up cults and causes which
will add flavor to their wholesome but
monotonous fare No man-not even
William Wordsworth-can love a turnip
for itself alone. Lacking rich brown
gravy, he must invest the turnip with
religious political or sociological signifi-
canoe in order to make it palatable.
Many brilliant geniuses subsist entirely
on garden truck, and their ability to do
so is additional proof of their genius.
But for the ordinary uninspired mortal,
the narrow path of vegetarianiSm is
bleak indeed. He must join an organiza-
ton or hitch his diet to doctrine in
order to keep from falling by the way
side. If he can enlist his soul in the
undertaking and get psychic boost
every once in while, it's great help.
When Mrs. Chudwell returned to East
Teabone after Winter in California
she was full of the teachings of Swami
Allayup Hah-Tchah. The Swami was
the exponent of an occult science known
as Zowyism, and he lived on nuts-im-
plying no disrespect to the doting
dowagers who supported him. His fol-
lowers were permitted a more varied diet,
but animal food was taboo.
THE Swami's religion seemed to be
combination of astronomy and gas
tronomy. Every time you simplifled
your menu you lifted yourself higher
from the earthly plane. Thus, eliminat-
ing meat was the take-off, and by ietti-
soning butter and eggs you attained the
plane of Mercury. No-fiSh took you up
to Venus, and no-potatoes to Mars. The
ultimate goal lay far beyond Neptune
and was reached only when you stopped
eating altogether and absorbed nourish-
ment osmotically by rubbing yourself
with coconut oil. That plane was known
as Zowy, or At-One-Ness with the Other
whittier.
Mrs. Chudwen had got only as far as
the third astral plane when she came
back from the West Coast-but even SO,
she was two up on Mr. Chudwell, who

had stayed at home with the canary. So
she undertook to initiate her husband
into the delights of vegetarianism subtly,
by artful substitution. On her first eve
ming at home she served mock-veal cut
lets made of eggplant with mushroom
gravy and touch of garlic. zone of the
first articles in the vegetarian creed is
that mushrooms and garlic have flavor
which is indistinguishable from that of
meat.
When surrounded by mashed potatoes
and string beans, the mock-veal outlets
looked very convincing, and Mrs. Chud-
well was gratified to observe that her
husband ate them without a murmur.
That's what I call man-sized hors
d'oeuvres," he declared, pushing back his
empty plate. "Now how about the piece
de reSiStance?"
Then Mrs. Chudwell was obliged to tell
him that he had already eaten the piece
de resistance. She broke the news as
gently as possible, and went on to en-
large upon the inhumanity of carnivorous
diet.
Mr.. Chudwell was touched. And when
his wife went on to describe the sad
plight of the baby lambs that are
orphaned to crafty mans Unsuitable

broke down and wept

she chided herself, wondering if I

She slid back the hatch and staggered

And sure enough it did. The Gullible
seemed to lift her stern and tuck the
great wave under her. They assumed

then pitched upward suddenly. Brad
caught the girl and the breakfast in his

Just then the boom flung itself free.
With wild sweep to leeward it crashed
into the side of a monster wave. The
Gullible shivered. Brad dropped the
cup, grabbed a coil of line from under
the cockpit seat and stood up. The
girl stood beside him. Get down, you

The boom came whistling back Brad
was passing the line through ring-bolt
when he saw the girl defiantly upright.
With a brutal shove he knocked her
down to the deck The boom, dripping
wet, swept over them. Brad managed
to get turn about it with the line.
He hauled with all his might. The girl
scrambled to her feet, eyes swapping.
Snubbed in its wild fling, the runaway
timber hung balanced for moment.
Then the lunge of the boat sent it
hurtling back. Brad crouched tense. If
he missed this time, the Gullible would
broach-to, and take the water mountains
on her deck. She'd crack up. He held
loop of the line ready. Then he saw
the girls glistening black head in the
boom's path. He jumped and bore her
down. She felt a shock run through
the mans body as he crushed her out
of the way. Staggeringly he arose. The
boom hung momentarily above them.
Desperately he passed the line over and
over it. He made it fast to a cleat.
Then he fell headlong into the cockpit

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The hurried
personal statement issued today by
Prime Minister Macdonald in
which he denied that secret oil
and textile concessions were offered
by Japan, clearly indicates how
American imperialism has been
using the support of France and
Italy in favor of the 5-5-3-1A Ia
naval building ratio as maneuver
to place the United States govern
ment in the most advantageous
position to outstrip all other cap

ments race for the next war
The imperialist rivalry between
Britain and the U. S. has been the
basis for the formers support of
Japan's demands for naval parity
with the United States and herself.
French and Italian imperialism,
within the clash of their own
spheres Of rivalry, have always been
restless under the limitations of
smaller ratios, and are now de-
handing that their ratios of naval
building be increased. While the
war preparations of the United
States and Japan are not directly
threatened by these French and
Italian demands. they do affect the
comparative naval strength of
nearby Great Britain, whose cap
italists have always desperately
adhered to the superiority of
Britain's naval ornaments over
the navies built under the ratios
assigned to France and Italy.

APPLICATIONS
EXCEED FUNDS
Big Subsidies Are Being
Handed to Railroads
and Bankers

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. ID
Alarmed by the demand by mort
gage burdened small home owners
for loans, the recently created Fed
eral Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton issued statement today an
nouncing stoppage to all further
loans.
The corporation has loaned out
81 ,873 100000 against an original
authorization of $S,OOo,OOo,OOo
This announcement contrasts
with the report of the R,F.C, made
public today revealing dealings
with banks, railroads, mortgage
companies, and other capitalist in
stitutions totalhng the enormous
sum of $8,5O0,O0O, 600. OF this huge
subsidy to private capital, banks
and trust companies alone have
received close to two billion dollars,
with mortgage companies and land
banks having received more than
half billion dollars.
OF the millions of small home
owners whose life savings, in
vested in homes, are endangered by
mortgage debts, only 622,553 have
had their applications acted upon
favorably. More than 1,745,000
home owners applied. Thus about
one in three applicants got any
results.
The loans are made only on the
basis of current earnings Of the
applicant and his security. While
giving temporary relief, the Federal
home loans actually add to the al
ready too great burden of mort
gage debt which is crushing thou
sands of small home owners.
The latest announcement of
stoppage Of these loans makes the
immediate status of thousands of
small homes doubtful.

For 10 long years the whole
capitalist judicial machinery acted
as a solid unit to prevent Mooney
from in any way exposing the
frame-up by which he was buried
alive in San Quentin.
THE present action of the U. S.
Supreme Court is not due to any
growing sense of justice on the
part of the capitalists. Rather, they
are being compelled to retreat in
the face of the mounting mass
pressure, the long struggle for
Mooney in which the Communist
Party and the revolutionary organi-
cations generally have been The
backbone. This mass agitation has
finally raised such stir among the
masses that the capitalists are find

impossible, to keep Mooney in jail
