Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1934-08-16

Records showing that during the past seventeen
months the federal government has poured in excess
of s20,000,000 cash and possibly half that sum In food
stuffs, clothing and SO on, into Montana. affords some
slight justification for the assertion we have become
more or less a federal dependency. This was not
meant in reproach, for we are all aware causes over
which we have no control brought about our condition,
but the fact remains We are largely dependent on the
beneficence OF the federal government and should feel
a deep gratitude our plight was coincident with the
ascendency of the Roosevelt administration.
ANY disposition to view the relief accepted lis i'm
some manner a disgrace or dishonor is a distortion OF
the situation. 1t i'll becomes anyone drawing a suffic-
lent or fat salary or those in good circumstances to
make sneering illusions to the extent of relief we are
accepting.
A ~niggardly nature has withheld its gift OF moist
ue to an extent where the soil has become barren and
unproductive; no skill, no applied industry or fore
thought can avail against drouth extending over a per
iod of six years. Like conditions in any state In the
union would have brought its people to the brink on
which we hover. What more is there to say?
A single years drouth in some OF our eastern and
middle west states elected walls that reverberate over
the entire country-states where people have
been rather snooty at the parched Northwest. And
they are now clamoring for relief. And we hope they
get it in abundance. Brought low through a single
on which TO Judge the extent of calamity we have I'M
dergone and dispell any illusion there is humiliation in
accepting help under the circumstances.
Rather to the contrary, the people OF the North
west now realize they are of the breed that can take
It on the chin and at least make a brave attempt to
look CHEEKY. One of the last to ask relief. we will be
one OF the first to resume contributions to every good
cause when Dame Nature deigns to smile on us again
and we have staged a comeback.
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1934-08-16

A public demand for more rigid inspection of
buses, trucks and other vehicles operating ON the
public highways may result from the tragic disaster in
New York state where a bus. with defective brakes.
crashed through an elevated railing into a lumber yard
below and resulted in the death of seventeen persons.
One of the most amazing attitudes in the present
era is the public Indifference to deaths on our high
ways. Nearly 10000 persons are killed each year and
apparently the great American people like the idea
and are perfectly willing to pay the price for speed.
The Herald has urged time and time again that Of
ficials in every section of the nation investigate every
accident. Drivers responsible for accidents should not
be allowed to menace the public. Moreover, in addi
ton to the helpful campaign of education now under
way.in most states, highway officials should require
regulation and inspections of all motor vehicles In
order to ban defective vehicles from the public ways.
If the states. and those interested in states rights.
fail to provide adequate safeguards for the public and
permit the present, death rate TO continue. it is newt
able that a demand will arise for Federal control OF In
terstate traffic, which will affect every individual
necessary to obtain adequate protection on the high
ways.
1t will be of little avail to cry out against the sur
render Of states rights and to deprecate the enlarge
ment OF the Federal bureaucracy unless the states
make the roads reasonably safe. The public demand
for relief against so many avoidable accidents Fill not
take into account theoretical squabblings over the
method necessary to get results. The states are on
trial in the matter of highway safety and ii they bestir
themselves and provide effective regulations and in
spections, the problem can be solved without Federal
activity.

(MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL)

When the United States Senate reconvenes Mon
tana will be represented by at least one new senator
as the result Of its recent primary election. While
Senator Burton K. Wheeler was winning a renomina-
ton for q third term by a handsome majority his fun
ior colleague, Senator John T. Erickson, ran third in
his race Senator Erickson was seeking nomination
for the short term created by the death OF the late
Senator Thomas ]. Walsh.
While a great number of factors about which we
know nothing may have contributed to the defeat of
Senator Erickson, there is one which lis quite obvious
and must have exercised considerable influence. When
Senator Walsh died a year ago, John e. Erickson was
governor OF Montana. At that time he resigned his
position as governor and within a few minutes his
successor appointed him to the United States senate.
Changes OF that kind do not just happen and quite
obviously everyone was able to see that this sequence
OF events had not taken place without previous ar
rangement. 1t was apparent that Erickson had be-
come a United States senator because it was within
his own power to make himself one.
One has but to recall a similar situation I'm Mimi
esota some years ago when a governor OF this state
was called upon to fill a vacancy in the United States
senate which he, In the normal course of events. had
some day hoped to aspire to, in order to appreciate
how precari0us are political fortunes when they are
made OF such ambitious stuff. The mere fact that he
contemplated a maneuver like the one executed nv
Erickson contributed to his early withdrawal
from the political scene. Despite the fact that the
governorship is frequently looked upon as a stepping

THE INCREDIBLE RAsPUTIN

wv
Rasputin. the Siberian peasant is
still an enigma TO students of psy-
chology. Born and reared as a boor-
ish yokel. dirty in his attire and dis
gushing in his to the day OF
his death. Repulsive in appearance,
a d~ebauchee. a drunkard and gour-
mond he nevertheless was not only
the virtual ruler OF Russia, but he
possessed compelling and uncanny
power and attractions for many or
the most high born women in the
empire. He was rourted and feared
by the mobiles. and highest officials OF
the kingdom as well as by the de-
graded peasantry. He has been as
much written about as any Of the
great celebrities OF modern times.
Most OF the writers have pictured
him as a devil without a single re-
deeming trait of character.
The truth is that this man was an
anomly- He had many good qualit-
les and possessed much kindness Of
heart He was ever generous with
the money that came to him so free
ly. and counselled the Car to supply
the needs of the starving people. He
belonged secretly to a curious reliE-
iOus sect and fanatics known as
Kiysties- These people were given
TO revolving and secret orgies that
made them hated and feared by the
Orthodox church.
Russia was a land of contrasts.
Degrading ignorance, superstition,
poverty and beggary existed side by
side with wealth, elegance, ducation
and pride. Yet Rasputin by a word
could exalt the beggar to a high Of
fetal position or hurl a court official
from his high office.
The orthodox Russian church.. of
which the Gar was head, was char
acterized by pageantry. ritual ard
the grOssest superstitions. The Gar
ina had been reared a Protestant In
Germany. but on going to Russia
joined the Cars church. When she
became the wife OF Nicholas she was
hated as an outlander and a foreign
err Contumely was heaped upon
her by her motherin-law and the
Russian people because she did not
give them a male heir. The poor
woman became almost unbalanced
mentally and would lie for hours
upon the floor In a subterranean
chapel b~eseeching God and the saints
TO send her a SON. She was doanin-
ated by priests and charlatans. She
listened to the idle promises that
they made to her telling her that she
would soon give birth to a son who
would sit upon the throne OF his Ia
Their. the czar. Several times it was
announced to the people OF Russia
that the expected birth was near at
hand. When the event failed to mat
erialize her disappointment was
great. and her suffering was increas-
ed by the execrations that were
heaped upon her by the people OF
Russia

"
The flOtation OF foreign securities
developed 4one OF me most scand-

the most elementary principles OF

there were many instances in which
promoters OF bonds were interested
only in the profits they would make
and evidenced no oncer as to the
investors money and made little In
qulry into the sOundness OF the Sc
curities they offered.
bankers readily forfeited the good
