Montana labor news., 1934-01-04

American news for the lass Agency (of the So
Wet Union).
In writing his last account OF the Washington
Scene last week, he babe the FP papers farewell.
And the Labor Advocate takes this opportun-
ity of wishing one Of the most brilliant OF Wash
ington correspondents the success he deserves
and will no doubt achieve in his new position.
For many years now the Labor Advocate has
been publishing the Washington news from the
pen of Mr.. Todd, and no correspondent has writ
ten so accurately and SO ably, not only of the
news as it broke, but the news behind the news
as well. And we learned to rely implicitly upon
the absolute accuracy and truth of his reports,
and which he made the primary feature of his
news work.
Todd's famous Washington Scene has been
copied now by all the more important capitalist
dailies and by many free lances who make work
like his a weekly or a daily feature. But all
lack that gift of vitalizing with such g%alvanic in
terest and with such splendid force what to most
feature writer's and news gatherers is a some
what routine matter of unconcern.
We have often wondered how in the world the
FTP could retain the service SO Loyalty given OF
this truly gifted news writer. For the FP has
at no time been burdened with money or over
loaded with a capacity to pay its reporters and
feature writer's an excess of well earned dollars.
But as a matter OF fact to many like Todd service
was always at once the inspiration and the ideal
which strengthened him in the pursuance of his
work.
Well say this for Todd. No writer has dis
played such a keen penetration Of the policies or
lack of policies Of congress or the administration
during all this time he served the FP. No man
ever understood the tendencies of things in the
national capital so clearly and so understandings
" as he. And it now seems almost uncanny that
his Interpretation of the events he saw around
him and about which his fellow craftsmen seem
ed perplexed, were so invariably proved correct
by Developments as they went on.
So we wish well to Laurence Todd in the DAYS
to come. We know he is equipped to deal with
the most difficult task that may be assigned him
in his new position and We know that he will
handle it with the same brilliance, the same ener-
gy and the same gifted devotion which marked
his connection with the Federated Press.
His successor has a high record to shoot at.
In Harvey OConnor the Federated Press has a
young, able, devoted and brilliant newspaperman
of experience; a Tacoma man, a former editor
OF the Seattle Daily Call, the Daily Union Rec
ord, and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS Journal. He has filled the position of east
ern representative of the Federated Press with
and satisfaction.
He has written a profoundly interesting best
seller which is a marvellous accumulation Of fact
in Melons Millions, and which some have rec
commended for the Pulitzer Prize. Harvey has
brought genius to bear in his line of work, gen
Jus and devotion to accuracy which also with
the Federated Press is regarded as a pearl above
price.

time great uproar among the servants down
in the yard, sprang from the bed to the VIM
dow, and looked out upon the great meteoric
shower Of the 18th and 18th Of November, 1888.
Rushing down into the yard, I saw a squad OF
frightened servants so terrified indeed that they
knew nothing that the world coming
to an end. The old soldier appeared at the
door, asked me to come into his room, and said
it was nothing-he had seen the like before.
The shower continued till overpowered by day
light the stars rushing down through space like
snowflakes, yet vastly more luminous. Fearful
balls of fire shot madly toward the earth, like
the pyrotechnic rocket shoots upward consum-
ing their substance in flight or losing it by fric-
ton against the walls of air. Most of the
meteors were as large and brilliant the stars
themselves : -"

Il saw lawyers, physicians ministers, farmers,
wagoners, sportSmen in the chase and at the

Tossing to one another; taking and denying po-

confessed that when they first saw the raging
meteoric shower cast its globes of fire to the
ground and against the outside walls and the
windows Of their room they rushed from the
card table, cast their pack into the fire and
kneeled in prayer before long neglected throne

I ought not to be ashamed.

in the dark room before trying my hand at

against intrusion; saw several chairs, other
articles of furniture, and two windows only.

being at the back of the bed.
Trying my hand at sleep, met with half
success but just at this stage of proceeding,
imagine my surprise when, by some unseen
force, the three counterpanes were drawn vlo-
lenty from the bed to the floor! After recov-
ering from my surprise and fright, visited the
ruins on the floor, recaptured the counterpanes,
and courted sleep once more. After a time, 1

IT IS quite an experience to meet some one
you have not seen for Al years, and if it
happens to be some one worth while, the
perience is all the interesting. Every
body likes to see childhood friends, old school
chums or college acquaintances. And so, when
the writer decided to write story about Rock
ville he also decided to call upon his old
friend Judge Robert B. Peter of Rockville,
whom he had not seen since we graduated
from the National University Law School in
1898. OF course, the judge had changed just
Al years, and had the writer, but had
good time checking up on the past and ac-
counting for the boys who attended the uni
versity with us for several years.
The judge knows Rockville like book for he
was born there and held judicial position there
for many years, and no doubt many lawyer
will be reading his decisions century or more
hence. In early life he attended the Rockville
Academy, which erected by lottery subse-
quent to 1906, when the General Assembly Of
Maryland appointed Upton Beall, Honore Mar
tin, Lewis Beall, Thomas Linstead Cor Lnstid),
T. P. Wilson Richard Anderson and Solomon
Holland to raise the sum of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of lot suitable for the erection of
school house. This old building stood until about
