NEW YORK--politicians say one
thing when they make public,

another thing when they speak
privately among themselves.
1t is the final impetus of money

indicative of the result.
YOU have two immeasurable

FREE SPEECH DOING NICELY
IN CAMPAIGN
CBy BRUCE CATTOM

Probably no presidential campaign VIII
have exceeded the present one IN the sneer
weight of printed material, the sheer vol
ume of verbiage flung at the voters.
whatever else this comes to, it means
harvest-time to the people who are en-
gagged in producing it.
Consider the case of j. E. Rockwell VINO
edits the Daily Independent of Murphys-
bore, H., a town of 10000 in the very
center of rich farming and fruit-groWlng
section of that state.
Rockwell has never liked the New Deal
and has said so in good straight terms
THROUGHOUT the last three years. His We
bicle has been daily column in his paper,
circulation $500.
A while back, Rockwell got to thinking
about the New Deal and his editorials
about it, and decided to reprint selected
pieces in little pamphlet. Apparently
copies got into the hands of the persons
who count at Republican headquarters.
They were pleased with "a Country Editor
Views the New Deal" and evidently felt 1t
REPRESENTED the Republican point OF view
in a peculiarly effective manner.
Result: an order to Editor Rockwell
from the Republican National Committee
for ], 100000 copies of his pamphlet.
Though Editor Rockwell has a modern
plant for town of Murphysboro's size, a
million copies was something else again.
He had to turn the order over to city
printing plant and be content with roy
atty.
Printers, publishers and broadcasting
stations are pretty secure against depres-
sion until after November. There is scarce
" night without one or more nationally
broadcast speeches on the air, and the cleo
ton still more than two months away.
Even the streets aren't safe, for you
never know when a sound truck is going
to pull up and start blasting away at you.
Already there are four books on Cover
nor Landon, and New Deal and anti-New
Deal books come tumbling from the presses
Just as fast as the rollers will turn.
No one is so inconspicuous os not to be
on a mailing list for one or more campaign
propaganda sheets, some verging closer
and closer to the scurrilous as the climax
approaches. Temporary newspapers spring
up like mushrooms, and Pennsylvania, fol
instance, has Democratic organ in I'VE
the People" while Republicans angle toa
labor support with Labor World
Novelties like the New Deal Mazuma,
distributed at the G. o. P. convention; rub,
Der dollar bills, and animated cartoons
Iambasting Roosevelt, compete with pro,
New Deal pictures like "The Plow That
Broke the Plains"
1t goes right on down to low tide IN the
scurrileus little sheets passed out on the
street.
The campaign itself is going to be the
best possible evidence that good old-fafsn,
toned American freedom of speech ano

is just a bit of a nuisance when
you have to do it too often.
And, the next time the strong
man approaches and bids you be
strong and vigilant, you are more
than likely to tell him to go and
fry his hat for himself while you
go out in the garden and weed the
young onions.
NOW the point to remember IS
~ that it is only by such emo
tional appeals that the dictators
and the demagogs keep themselves
in power. They live on the emo
tons of their followers.
As long as they can keep on
whipping up the fears, hatreds,
suspicious, and unfulflled aspira-
tions of the mass, they are safe;
the moment the whip stops swish
ing, they are done for.
The Italians, the Germans, the
Russians. and tic others - they
have been under the lash for a
good many yeals. Periodically,
each group is called on to face
some "crisis" or other-to assert
its heroism, to live dangerously,
to be violent and brave and self
denying aud all the rest.
One Of these days they are more
than likely to decide that they
have had enough. They will greet
their leaders frenzied appeals
with an ooh, Lordy-do we have
to go through all that again."
They will act, in other words, as
people always have acted when
the tension has been kept up too
long.
And when that day comes, the
beetle-browed strong men, the
voice-cracking orators, the men Of
destiny in general, will be hunt
ing for q new line of work.

A coTToN.PICKER PICKS

Something of vast-or little-importance to the
Cotton South its planters, tenants, its industries
and trades closely related to cotton-growng, hap
pened Monday near Stonevile, Miss, when the
Rust Brothers ton-picker went through an I'M
pressive try-out
In an hour the numbering, steel-fngered giant
of a machine gathered more cotton than good
field-hard can pick between dawn and dark says
Felix Belair, Jr., New York Times correspondent.
But some of the operators of big plantations
were skeptical. They found that the mechanical
picker also gathered trash and leaves, and they
observed that the cotton somewhat stained by
contact of leaves and fiber in the separator
On the other hand, the proposed substitute for
man-power did no injury to the unopened bolls or
the plants. !.
suppose the machine is further perfected to pick
cotton without lowering the quality. Suppose Its
use becomes widespread. Experience and reason
tell you to welcome such devices for saving labor,
but for the immediate future what would be some
of the outstanding effects? ......
Mr.. Belair suggests some answers. About 7,OOO,-
600 workers out of the 100000 in the 100000
tenant families in ten cotton states would lose their
.eotton-fed jobs. Cotton might become profitable
at cents pound, but Western farmers would see
vanish the market for the output of 25,000,00O
acres now producing food and feed for tenant fam
lilies and livestock in the cotton belt. 1t might end
the labor of women and children, but it would
probably start another negro migration from the
cotton states, with consequent upset to wages for
unskled labor in the North and Northwest as well
as in the South.
The Rust Brothers propose however, to pass on
to labor some of the benefits derived from their
machine. They plan to require planters to fix min
imum wages and maximum hours and to abolish
child labor.
From all of which it may be ventured in predic-
ton that the cotton-picker will only by slow de-
grees replace manual labor in the cotton fields

Production
Of Gold In
1895 Heavy
Has Greatest Value of ANY
One Year Since
1887.
Is MILLIONS WORTH
PRODUCED IN 1866

BUTTE, March 3, Especially Mon
tana's gold production for 1885 had the
greatest value of any annual production
tor the past AZ years, according to an
announcement made today by Preei-
dent Francis A. Thomson of Montana
School of Mines, director of the Mineral
Resources division of the State Plan
ming board and also director of The
State Bureau of Mines and Geology.
According to figures complied by
Frederick c. Gilbert, supervisory engi-
neer for the Mineral Resources division.
the 1885 total value is the second high
est in the past So years since 1872.
Official reports of the United States
Bureau of Mines give the Montana
gold production for 1885 as s5,174,75O.
1t marks the fifth year since 1872 that
the value of the gold produced in the
state has exceeded the five million .ioi-
lar mark
AS the figures indicate" DR. Tiiom-
son says, there has been -ssfvai of
gold mining, boil. placer and lode, IN
the state during the past two years
However the total value Of the gold
produced received its greatest increase
from the fact that the price of gold has
been increased by about rs percent
The 1885 production was lat $50 fine
ounces which is the largest quantity
since 1918 when $50, 1893 ounces we're
produced. Thus, although the quantity
of gold is by no means a record, the
value, for the reason stated is the high
est since 1872.
AMontana's golden era, insofar as the
production of the precious metal Is
concerned was during the period from
1868 to 1871, when the placers of Ban
mack, Virginia City. Helena, and other
sections were pouring their wealth into
the sluice boxes of the early-day min
ers. The peak was reached in 1866
when the state produced a total of
Is million dollars in gold It is hardly
likely that such production will ever
be experienced again"

Sportsmen Come To
Aid Of Game Birds

Rarely has there been quicker ane
more generous response to emergency
appeals than the manner in which the
sportsmans organizations throughout
Montana and the hundreds of others
interested in maintaining wild life
conditions, answered the call for funds
for feeding the game birds following
the recent storms and cold spell.
Great Falls, Butte and other centers
where there are large active organiza-
tons raised funds speedily while every
section took an interest. Offers of
private airplanes to distribute grain in
remote mountain sections where the
wild game faced extinction for lack of
food were PROMPTLY made and adj
vantage taken of the offers.
Appeals were also made to Washing
ton for aid from the biological survey,
but Governor Holt received wires from
Senator Wheeler and Congressman Roy
Ayers stating that the funds for care
of upland and migratory birds were
exhausted and that Montana would
have to depend on its own sportsmen,
farmers, ranchers and hunters.
Governor Holt and State Game
Warden Kenneth Mcdonald last week
sent warnings to the representatives at
Washington by wire that the task of
feeding storm stricken game birds was
reaching critical stage They urged
an increased appropriation to meet the
emergency. The $500 made available
for feed during the early part of the
storm and the additional funds donated, |
it was pointed out, were not sufficient
to meet the unusual requirements.
Senator Wheeler suggested that the
situation be handled through Kenneth
Roahen of Billings, game management
agent of the department. Congressman
Ayers stated that the situation in other
part Of the country had contributed to
the depletion of the fund
State Game Warden Mcdonald issued
a strong appeal in a radio talk from
Butte for aid from all sportsmen.
