"SOak The Rich"

There is no sense in quarreling with the
changing human conditions, but it is inter-
esting to observe them. The attitude toward
the more fortunate members of society is
vastly different than it was half century
ago, or even a quarter century ago. Men who
had, by hard work, and superior ability,
made their way in the world, were looked up
to and respected. They were referred to as
'our leading taxpayers"-"our leading citi-
zens" and they were the leaders. They
were proud of their standing with their fel-
low men. They expected to bear a large
share of the community burden. We relied
on them for advice, and we went to them to
show us the way when big things were to be
done. They built our hospitals, kept our
churches going, and we felt sense of graft
tude to them for their fine civic spirit. But
not today. If man has money our chief
desire seems to be to take it away from him,
no matter how honestly and worthily he
earned it. We insinuate that all the rich are
crooked and that they got their money in
ways that will not stand the light of day.
We do not discriminate between the success
full man who worked his own way to success,
and the successful man who built on dishon-
est foundations. Still we expect men with
money to give enthusiastically to all the local
enterprises, the hospitals, the churches, the
community chest, etc. This changed atti-
tued is beginning to tell. The man who is
abused by cheap politicians day after day be-
cause he has shown thrift and energy, gets
weary putting up his money for charities de-
manded by his town. And why shouldn't
he? Why dig up day after day to help build
progressive community and then listen to
the community abuse him and call him a
crook just because his pants do not need
mending? There ought to be just little
fairness in our treatment of our fellows

Estimate 800 Radio
Sets In Lincoln County
BY Paul Nav.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 3.-Like
the rest of the country, Lincoln coun-
ty has gone radio-minded in a big way
in the last few years, according to a
report made public by the bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce of the
commerce department
According to the 1880 census, among
Lincoln county's 1891 families were
only 519 families which owned radio
sets. The new report sets 800 as the
estimated number of Lincoln county
families which owned radio sets on
January |. 1896.
These estimates were made by the
joint committee on radio research, and
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, while printing the reports,
declares it "can accept no responsible
ity for the estimates" but adds, st Is
believed that they are truly represent
alive Admitting the possibility of
small local error, the joint committee
expresses a conviction that for any
area above the equivalent of small
group Of counties. the factor of error in
any case will be insignificant
Similar growth in the number OF
radio-equipped homes in Montana AZ
whole is shown by the report which
gives 81 700 as the estimated number
of radio homes in Montana on January
|, of this year, while according to the
1880 census, the state had only AZ, 442
homes with radios.

Swimming Pool Closed
For Health Reasons

The city and county health officers,
DR.. J. M. Cairns and DR.. P. Baxter,
took steps the first of the week to close
the swimming pool at the mill log pond
that has been in use the past several
summers.
This action was taken, states DR..
Cairns, because of the conviction that
use of the pool may be responsible for
an epidemic Of tonsilitis that has de-
veloped during the past week or 10
days. Dr. Cairns reports that every
possible source that might have caused
the infection was carefully examined
and each was cleared of suspicion ex-
cept the swimming pool.
The water Of the pond is known to
be contaminated, states DR.. Cairns.
Furthermore, he says, the pool does
not comply with single requirement
of the state law governing public
swimming places. Libby creek, which
supplies water to the pool, is a natural
drainage for number of homes in that
area, with the result that toilets, barn
yards and other obnoxious places drain
into the creek. Drainage from a
slaughter house also undoubtedly finds
its way into the creek While there is
constant flow of water through the
pool, yet an analysis of the water shows
it to contain contamination.
DR.. Cairns recognizes that the cost
of modern pool for the city would be
prohibitive, yet he wonders if it would
not be possible to develop pool close
to some acceptable stream by leading
the water into the pool from the stream,
with an overflow back into the stream
Under such plan chlorination plant
could be installed for the destruction cf
any contamination in the water
Cooperating with the health officers,
the Libby Woman's club has with
drawn the lifeguard from the pool

The Montana WPA office, according

Working To
Help Develop
This District
President of Glacier Mine
Tells Of Policy Pursued
by His Company.
LOCAL BUSINESS
TO BE PATRONIZED

| Thomas R. Toole, of Spokane, presi-
dent Of the Glacier Silver Lead Mining
company, and Cornelius E Collier, a
prominent stakeholder Of the company,
were in Libby the latter part of the
week on visit to the company's min
ing property south of Libby.
In conversation with the Western
News reporter, Mr.. Toole expressed
himself as very well pleased with the
progress at the mine. Mr.. Toole also
gave expression to a sentiment that
indicates he holds a conviction that is
gaining more and more adherents in
these days of social unrest and discus
SION
in the development of this property
here" said Mr.. Toole, we consider we
are very definitely part Of the COM
munity and owe much to the COM
munity. We have faith in the mine
and are putting our money into it. If
we succeed in developing it into pay
ing mine-and we sincerely believe we
shall-we will be taking out of the
country one Of its natural resources
In payment for that privilege we feel
that we should exert ourselves In every
possible way to put something back
into the community and to help de-
velop its other resources.
I'm following policy dictated by
these conceptions, we purchase prac-
tically all our supplies in Libby and
will continue doing so. We are also
glad to state that we have paid our
current taxes and not only have paid
them but were glad to do So BY build
ing up a payroll here and by patron
izing local business institutions we feel
that we are helping to that extent i'll
the industrial life of the community
But we are not satisfied with such eff
forts alone We took considerable sat
isfaction from the fact that we were
able to be of no small assistance to the
Spokane Mountaineers upon their re-
cent visit to your mountains. Our MIR.
Douglas performed real service to
the Mountaineers and we were glad to
extend to the club the use of quarters
at the mine over one night as they
came out from their week in the noun
tains. We know the Spokane people
appreciated this very much and went
back to the city enthusiastic over the
beauties of our mountains here and the
hospitality of western Montana people.
And then there is another pleasant
angle to this visit of the Mountainecrs.
A Libby man with his string of horses
was hired to pack them to their desti-
nation and understand much OF their
supplies was also purchased from Lib
by business houses. The Spokane
Mountaineers have connections with
many other similar clubs throughout
the Northwest and we are convinced
they will send out good reports Of their
weeks vacation here, which will re-
suit in other clubs visiting the section
and bringing in additional business We
are very definitely glad to have had a
hand in this first visit and you can
assure Western News readers that we
will continue to do ali that we can to
build up a reputation for this wonder
full district as an ideal section in which
to spend vacation"
