HE SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN

Earl Browder, candidate for presi-
dent on the communist ticket, seems to
be having a difficult time. In one city
he was arrested to keep him from
speaking in other places his meetings
have been broken up. The first of the
week, at Tampa Fla, men wearing
American Legion caps broke up his
meeting in a general free for all fight
Browder has complained that free
dom Of speech is being denied him.
There is no denying that fact. But II
he would be consistent, he cannot logl-
cally object to this treatment.
Browder is openly advocating the
overthrow of the American form OF
government and the setting up in its
place Of communistic government
Under communism there is no such
thing as free speech or free press
Under communism personal liberty is
utterly and completely denied The
theory of personal liberty is scoffed at
In Russia, the best example OF COM
munism, the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat' is all powerful That seems te
be the kind of government Mr.. Browdel
desires and therefore he should not OBJ
iect to taking some of his own medicine

BLIND SURVEY IN
PROGRESS BY LIONS CLUBS

The major activity of the Lions Clubs
of District No 81, which covers att of
Montana, is help to the adult blind, for
whom no provision is now made.
Each Lions Club in the state is now
conducting a survey of its community
and the District Governor and his COM
mittee on the blind, headed by E. V
Ahern of Havre, are compiling the
data for presentation to the proper au-
thorities.
Any person knowing of any blind
person should communicate this in
formation to his local Lions Club inn
mediately, or if you have no club, send
it direct to Mr.Ahren.
We have fine school for blind
children. and a great work has been
done. The Lions Club is now attempt
ing to secure similar rehabilitation for
the adults similarly afflicted, that they
may be made self-supporting.
This work in Libby is in charge of a
committee composed of P. E. Chef,
chairman, and w. H. Kemp. Anyone
knowing of persons who could be
helped in this respect should get in

DAY BRINGS
IT'S ANNUAL DANCE

It's Is years since the world shouted
itself hoarse over the signing of the
armistice that ended the most dreadful
war in all history, yet the passing OF
those Is years has not deprived the
boys who were lover there of the de-
sire or the ability to have a good time
at least once year. Once again old
Father Time has licked off 365 days
and it is time to celebrate the great
event, the arrival of peace. Conse-
quently the American Legion boys have
everything in full swing for one of the
biggest Armistice Day celebrations ever
staged here.
There will be one new feature, at
least, this year. 1t consists of three dit
ferent dances instead of one. There
will be dances at Gopher Inn, where
old time dances will prevail; at Kie-
nitz hall in Libby, where the strains Of
the modern tunes will tickle the toes
Of the light footed, and at Cedar Creek
pavilion a general good time will pre-
vail "One ticket says Commander
Vernon Crotteau, will admit couples to
all three dances if one cares to visit
back and forth" More about this next
week.

Larson Would Keep
Montana Logs In State

M. y. Rowland is in receipt of a
letter from T. 0, Larson, republican
candidate for u. S. senator, that raises
an issue seldom if ever thought OF be-
fore in this county. Mr. Larson writes:
1T has come to my attention that saw
timber off the forest reserve is being
shipped out of the state of Montana,
depriving workmen of Lincoln county
of the labor incident to manufacturing
this timber into lumber.
There are vast areas Of government
timber in Lincoln county, in fact the
greater part of the land of the county is
in forest reserve.
Therefore, in my opinion this timber
should be held for existing mills. II
this were done / am told the mills
could continue to operate indefinitely.
This would safeguard your jobs, the in
vestment in your homes and other
property.
There are too many examples 81
ghost towns in western Montana where
the timber resources Of the community
have been depleted too rapidly and
repetition of this mistake should be
avoided in the future
Probably not many people will real
ize that timber from western Lincoln
county is now being shipped into Spo-
kane sawmills to be manufactured into
lumber and to give employment to
labor in that city. That is contrary ts
the best interests Of this community
where it is hoped to develop perma-
nent lumber industry and where 1t is
said that very thing can be done if the
timber here is left for local mills, That
is a wise policy and everything posi-
BILE should be. done to strengthen 1t.
Idaho has a state law that prohibits the
shipping of state owned timber out OF
the state. Wouldn't it be wise if such
a law could be enacted to cover Mon
tana timber, and thus help to perpetu-
ate the towns in the western part OF
the state2

SAYS 8-HOur Law Would
Ruin Lumber Industry

The following are extracts from let
ter sent out from Kalispell by the
Montana Lumber Manufacturers as
ISOLATION. 1t argues strongly against
the proposed 8-hour amendment to the
Montana constitution and says such
amendment would irreparably injure--
and possibly kill--the lumber industry
in Montana The letter said, in part:
Our association is composed OF men
who have invested their money and
are spending their time in the logging
and lumber industry of western Mon
tana. II is for this reason that we have
interested ourselves to the extent Of
endeavoring to inform you Of the stu
alton which might very easily result
in the complete destruction of the log
ging and lumber industry in the state
Of Montana, and might also result, as a
consequence thereof, in throwing out
Of employment the many thousands OF
men engaged in that industry in Mon
tana.
THE Montana lumber industry
should not lead the other states in a
6-hour day when they have to meet
competition from other parts of the
United States where the working day
consists of from to 10 hours.
due to conditions which are per-
haps beyond the control Of the people
of this state, and which include, among
other things, remoteness from market
relatively high freight rates, and costs
of logging due largely to natural con-
ditions including the sparse growth PEI
acre Of timber land and the relativel,
inferior species Of trees, it has been al.
most impossible in recent years 7

forest products of Montana.
IF the proposed constitutions

If the next session of the legislator
