found today in a dingy Office writ
ing his memoirs for a world that
once called him the discoverer of
the North Pole. ~
Just 81 years ago this week. the
middle-aged Brooklyn doctor
mushed into the Arctic, over bleak
fields Of uncharted ice. and out Of
his venture came one Of the widest
disputes in the history Of mans con-
quests.
Lieut. Robert f. Pearv. following
him out Of the North. branded his
one-time fellow dventurer as a
notorious fake.
Lieut.. Peary said it was he who
nailed the Stars and Stripes to the
North Pole"

It was like William Jennings Bryan

His friends of the old days
wouldn't recognize him now. His
fierce black mustache is gone, his
hair is gray and thinning and his

 Anchorage affords good example of the condition and the Anchorage city council taking timely steps in seeking solutionin it's appeal to the federal government.
 The problem lies in the fact that natives are with out and facing long hard winter with little prospect of earning from their old vacations ot trapping and hunting Many already have sought local relief and having attracted the city appealing to the local council and organizations for relief Many of them have become victims of excessive drink. Not possessed of the same mentality their white brothers and being vctimzed by many interruptions they have fallen ready prey spending quickly all their earnings of the season. being debauched and reduced in health and generally mpovers ed and without food fit shelter for the long trying winter An emergency exists

History and Historians!

Butte, Mont, July 10, 1885.
Editor, Montana Labor News,
Butte, Mont.
Dear Sir-In the issue OF your paper,
dated July 4, 1885, is an article under
the heading, History Of the Miners
Union Day" signed by n Ed
.O'Byrne. In the fourth paragraph on
page two, he says in part:
Defense movement wa being ham
pered by the scurrilous and vitupera-
tive carnations from the /. w. w.
off ice in Chicago and De Icons office
in New York"
Such is history by Mr.. O'Byrne. Now
let me quote another historian on the
same subject:
"Brissenden's History Of the /. w.
w" reproduced in "Bill Haywood's
Book" on page 2O4, and reads in part
as follows:
1.-THE |. w. w. was not popularity
associated with the Boise trial at all,
The organization was obliged almost
completely to suspend its vital work
of organization to raise funds for the
defense"
So much for the I. w. W., now for
the De Leon phase: To quote Hay
woods book on page 22l, whereon is
reprinted a letter from De Leon to
Haywood, which is too long to repro
duce in full, at this time, but a few eX-
cerpts will do to show who is telling
the truth. ! quote:
Such, | know, must have been the
shower of congratulations that poured
in upon you at your acquittal that
purposely kept in the rear lest my
voice be drowned in the multitude"
Further on he says:
THE capitalist class has agar
wrought better Tor the Social Revolu.
ton than its class is aware-it has
through your now celebrated case
built you up for the work of unifyinl
the movement upon solid ground"
Still further in the same letter:
THE capitals class has thrown tn,
ball into your hands. You a kick j
over the goal"
l think yourself and your reader
will agree that these few excerpts will
Tin the expression of the street, SHOW
that Mr.. O'Byrne is "all wet"
Very truly yours,
CHESTER GIBSON.

SENATOR WHEELER

Burton Kendall Wheeler, senator

Montana Water Con-
~servatiOn In Danger

Helena, June-Alarmed at the pre-
sent policy of Washington which ieo-
.pardizes Montana's entire water con-
%servation program, Montanans, Inc. is
sending an appeal to every community
to register a vigorous protest with our
senators and representatives asking
them to make representations to the
White House in an endeavor to save
the program which has been whipped
into shape as the result of moi than
a years hard work and is now ready
to be placed in active operation.
"The policy as now promulgated
from Washington spells the end Of oul
program OF water conservation" says
Montanans, Inc. 'The people Of thi.
state are familiar with the fact thai
since the special session of the legis-
%lature, the states water conservation
board has been working tooth and mai
to present to the government a plar
whereby this state will be permanently
benefited through the construction o.
new irrigation projects, storage reser-
voirs to supplement the water supply
of existing irrigation districts and small
er stock water and flood irrigation pro-
ljects. A comprehensive plan has beer
prepared which necessitated an enor-
nous amount of work and considerable
money. Now we see this dream Of fut-
ure stability for our agriculture anC
livestock industries fading away.
IN its place the government is seek.
ing to substitute a program of made
work which will furnish nothing bu
passing employment and in many inst
ances will increase the burden Of tax
payers for maintenance, instead of leav
ing behind it works which will be o
value to the state and nation for year
to come"
That this is not the view Of Mon
%tanans, Inc. alone is borne out by
bulletin received by the organization
from Marshall N. Dana, president o
the National Reclamation Association
in which association the state is repres
ented by Montanans, Inc, Mr.. Dan.
says;
Unless action, prompt and decisive
is taken, advices from Washington in
dictate that reclamation, as a whole, j
junked' in the continued Recovery Pro
gram.
"The ruling that works relief pro
iects must be $4,000 per man yea
hits not only reclamation, but all con
struction, and opens a serious questio.
as to the permanent values, and henc
permanent recovery, to be obtaine'
from the present program. 1t woul
appear that the west must stand as

JUDGES OF eastern congressman and in

SALVATION ARMY
CAMPAIGN

Continued from page II
Army to supplant the Relief work OF
the Government; this is shown in the
letter printed below which is being sent
to the various Union organizations Of
the City soliciting their support and
cooperation.
The following letter was sent to each
union in Silver Bow County;
THE SALVATION ARMY
Maintenance Fund Campaign
July % to August 3, 1885
July 10, 1885.
Dear Sir:
VIII you kindly bring the message OF
the Salvation Army to the attention
OF your members at the next meeting
of your Union?
AS you know, we are organizing a
Campaign to raise $500 to carry on the
work of the Salvation Army in Butte
for the coming year. The Army has
not had a Campaign for funds since
1881 while other organizations have
conducted theirs annually neither does
the Army receive any funds from the
Government. Army work includes
helping little children, the aged and
others who are not cared for by the
Government in its relief program.
These people cannot, for various rea-
sons, be included in the Government
Relief set up. 1t is these unfortunates
primarily that we are asking you to
help. They must be taken care OF by
organizations such as the Army. 1t
is not, however, the plan OF the Sal
walton Army to replace the Govern
ment in its relief program or to take
over the housing and feeding Of local
men and women.
1t is important to give food, cloth
ing and shoes to those who are hun
CRY and needy; it is also important to
give some poor little boy or girl, who
is surrounded by poverty and sadness
a better chance in life.
In these times there are a large num-
Der of our less fortunate citizens who
because of their condition, become dis
c%ouraged. The Salvation Army Work
ers visit these families and endeavol
to renew faith and courage. Thi!
means a great deal to the fathers anC
mothers as we'll as the children in these
homes.
The Army also cares for young un.
married mothers, Several such cases o
Butte girls have been cared for during
the past year, The Army is sending
one little girl from Butte to its rescu,
and maternity home this week.
We trust that we may receive a gen
erous contribution from your Uniot
also from the members of your Uniol
if that is possible. The Salvation Army
renders a service not rendered by am
other organization.
Very sincerely yours,
GEORGE N. SHORT, Gen
eral Campaign Chairman

SECOND HALF Squirt
Sees THREE OVER
Time CONTESTS

With the second half only 10 days
old and the final eligible list now COM
plete, all teams are making a desperate
try for the precious second-half flag
that will mean a p~ost-season playoff
for the championship in the Montana
State League. Last week saw three
contests go over the regulation period.
One looked like a movie thriller when
Joe Langenfus, East Helena outfielder,
poked out a homer in the 18th inning TO
shade Great Falls last Saturday. The
ether e~xtra-inning tussels found Free
bourns topping the Giants, IA, in nine
innings and Silver Bow Parks losing
to Helena in II inning, 90.
Painich Takes Swat Lead.
First Pujnich by virtue OF five blows
in his last seven times at bat moved
into the No. l position among the league
hitters having a percentage of .450.
The hitting of Schmall and Hozong,
new recruits, in the Freebourn clan,
and the winning pitching OF Gillian, who
is now leading the pitchers with five
wins in as many starts have been a big
factor in the Freebourn squirt. Walk
erville has been the only team to trim
the Attorneys this half and incidently
its their only victory.
Great Travelling Teams to Play Here.
Next Monday, July q, the league
presents two Of the greatest travelling
teams in the country in the Kansas City
Monarchs and the House Of David
mines. Each team has shown here al
ready against local clubs. Monarchs
beating Freebourns 1870 and the Davids
in 6-3 win over the Colored Giants
The Monarchs have by far the greatest
collection Of Colored all-stars in the
world in Chef Beverly, pitcher; Allen
known as the "Colored Eddie Collins )
Joseph, exponent of the kangaroo
slide; Taylor, demon of the chalk
lines, and former all-negro-America
halfback with Marshall University o.
Texas, and Mayweather, home rur
king. The Davids boast an equal col
lection OF bewhiskered stars in Tally

and others. This contest is the bes
baseball offering ever made to the loca
fans and their appreciation may NEAR
