Must Obtain
Permission
1oTapSeweIr
Those Who Have Broken
This Ruling To Be
Taken Into Court.
DISCUSS CURE FOR
PEDDLER NUISANCE

Hereafter people living outside any
sewer district will be required to make
arrangements with city officials before
they will be allowed to connect with
any sewer.
The Libby city council took action
to that effect while in regular monthly
session Tuesday night In the absence
of Mayor McCully, due to i'll health,
the meeting was conducted by Alder
man Harold Miller, president of the
council.
Several people throughout the city
have connected with sewers without
having made any arrangement to pay
for the privilege. This practice was
discussed by the council and the build
ing inspector was instructed to file
complaints against those who had made
such unauthorized connections and
have them taken into justice court.
DIR. J. M. Cairns, city health officer,
reported that there are no contagious
or infectious diseases in the city, also
that 800 children and adults had been
vaccinated as precaution against
smallpox
Reports on diaries showed all milk
supplies to be good with the possible
exception OF two. All retail beer IL
censes have been paid for the year.
The forest service was granted right
of way for road over the dump
ground property, a tract of 50 acres.
Considerable discussion was had rel
alive to placing license against ped
dlers. Such law has heretofore been
declared invalid but it is now said the
desired effect can be obtained by IL
censing all businesses within the city,
with heavier license on outside ped
dlers. Where this plan has been tried,
it is said the law has been declared
legal. Alderman Parker was delegated
to give the matter more detailed study
and report at the next meeting.

self-styled 'progressives' who, for their
own personal gain, hope to prey upon

Il have the highest regard for real
progressiyes who have the best in
terests of the state at heart, but have
no use for those who, while travelling
about at the expense of the federal and
state governments, are attempting to
create political machine.
Hints at Political Blackmail''
AT this moment there are federal
employees who are devoting large
part of their time to organizing the
session Of our legislature which is about
to open. Several of these men have
won jobs for themselves through po-
litical blackrnail. They have criticized
and INSTRUCTED until, for the sake Of
keeping them quiet, they have been
placed in important positions They
pose as great public benefactors. Watch
their movements, and you will agree
with me.
AS / am relieved Of the duties Of
chief executive, | am pleased to have
an opportunity TO extend to my sue
cessor good wishes for his success.

Governor Holt said he believed tn

CARNATIONS demand.

administration setups and made sewers

Libby Man Bowls
Perfect Game;;' 300 Score

A Libby man has bowled per-
feet score.
This feat that all devotecs OF the
bowling alleys hope to do was ac-
complished during the past week
by Hank Sleizer. Sleizcr not only
cleaned the alley Of all pins for IL
consecutive strikes, thereby max.
ing the perfect score Of 800, but he
excclled that fine performance by
adding five additional strikes to
his record In other words, Sleizer
bowled III consecutive strikes.
That, undoubtedly, is a perform
ance that will not soon be dupli-
Gated on the Libby alleys. Sleizer
has probably set up a record for
all the other bowlers to shoot at for
some time to come.

CHILD LABOR GROWS LESS

Out of the commendable agitation for

United States has already come one

children under JIG at work in 1890, the
last available census, less than 10 per
cent were employed in manufacturing
Or, stated another way, less than one
per cent of the workers in manufactur-
ing industries are under is years of
age.
Nearly three-quarters of all child
labor in America is found in the fields
of agriculture, forestry, fishing and
mining. Communication, transportation
and trade account for nine per cent
Seven per cent are in the domestic
service and three per cent In. profess

ALL PROGRESSIVES NOT
PROGRESSIVE.

That all men who tack upon them
selves the label of progressive are not
in fact concerned over the welfare of
humanity, is becoming more and more
evident as one watches and studies men
and affairs of the present. AT one time
the label progressive had some real
meaning. 1t is questionable if 1t does
today
Not all politicians are progressive
who claim that title; neither are all
men reactionaries who are labeled con-
servatives- The demagogue too often
labels himself as forward-looking
friend Of the people, when if the truth
were known he Is just the opposite. He
and his kind have thereby destroyed
any real meaning the term has in pres
ent-day politics.
Reference to this condition was made
by Governor Holt In message to the
people of Montana just before he re-
tired from office. Said Governor Holt:
In passing let me pay my respects to
a group of self-styled 'progressives'
who, for their own personal gain, hope
to prey upon the public treasury
have the highest regard for real pro-
gressiyes who have the best interests
of the state at heart, but have no use

the expense of the federal and state
governments, are attempting to create a

A SOLUTION FOR MOST PROBLEMS

Father Charles E, Coughlin, the fiery
priest who took such a spirited part
in the late campaign, returned to the
air the other day in broadcast urg
ing the application Of christian princi-
Piles" In the settlement of industrial
disputes during the present year.
Most thinking men will agree that
Father Coughlin's suggestion would be
a wise one If it could only be put into
practice. If the statesmen of the world,
the captains of industry and the labor
leaders would honestly and sincerely
.endeavor to put into practice the pre-
cepts taught by the Man of Galilee
some 1000 years ago, practically all the
social and political problems of the
world could be solved.

another nomination Immediately fol-
lowing his second term. although after
four years elapsed he again sought q
nomination.
Calvin Coolidge had the same no
ton, that saying it once is better than
saying it often. Toward the end OF
his second term he said. Il do not
choose to rum" and stuck to the de-
cision. But never would he repeat 1t,
though he was often besought to.
Temperament May Be Explanation.
What shall we infer from the diff
ference between those two past PreSi-
dents and the present one? Between
Theodore Roosevelt, who said 1t once,
directly-and Franklin Roosevelt, who
says it many times, but Indirectly Is
the difference merely one Of tempera-
ment? Does one mans repetition
mean the same as another mans re-
preston? So far as temperament
enters into the matter, Franklin
Roosevelt Is exceptionally dominated
by his temperament. To q degree
greater than most men, he is in the
control of his impulses, likes to do
what he wants to do at the time he
wants TO do it. The trait grows on him.
One thing Is safe to say. Let no
one dismiss the notion OF third term
for Mr.. Roosevelt just because such an
idea is sensational. Mr.. Roosevelt en-
ioys being sensational, daring, takes
almost a voluptuous pleasure in 1t,
Besides, to run for a third term would
not be as sensational as what Mr..
Roosevelt has already done about the
Supreme Court.
True, a third term for Mr.. Roosevelt
would be extraordinary. 1t is improb-
able. Anything that has never hap
pened before is. of course, improbable.
If we were seeking words to express
how improbable third term would
be, we might use such words as these: {:
Ridiculous. absurd.
Hazardous Words.
1t happens that just those words
have been used in another connection,
to describe another futur- improb-
ability. They were used to described
the notion that Mr.. Roosevelt might
some day attempt TO increase the Su-
preme Court When that notion was
first suggested, long before Mr. Roose-
velt actually took the step, Senator
Ashurst of Arizona said:
Among the unjust criticisms which
have been uttered &c. about President
Roosevelt, was that he intended at some
time-nObody knows when or where
to increase by some legerdemain-no-
body knows when or where-the men,
bership of the Supreme Court of the
United States. so that his policies
might be sustained. A more rldlcu-
lous, absurd and unjust criticism Of a
President was never made"
Clearly, Mr.. Roosevelt won't be de-
TERED from running for q third term
Just because the notion seems. in ad-
vance, ridiculous, absurd"
However, speculation about another
mans motives, or future course. is
/ always unsa satisfying. One would pre-
fer not to do it. For what goes on
within any mans mind cannot be fully
known by any one else; often the mar
himself is not fully aware Of it.

dents have used when they wished to
serve notice on the country that they
would not run again.
An authorized talk with Mr. Roose-
welt was published in the New York
| Times a few days ago by Arthur
Krock. In it much of Mr.. Roosevelt's
talk was defense of his action about
the Supreme Court. Accompanying
that was defense against those who
cry dictator" and "one-man Govern
ment" Especially conspicuous was
Mr.. ROoSevelt'S assurance, conveyed
| indirectly, that he will not seek third
| term. 1t was not really an assurance,
| but the impression was conveyed
| strongly. 1t infused the whole talk.
The opening words of the article
| quoted Mr.. Roosevelt as having said,
when I retire to private life on Janu-
ary 20, 1941." And the closing words
OF next to the last paragraph repeated: {:
BY the time he leaves office on Janu-
ary 20. l94l.'"
Comes From More Sources.
The same atmosphere of self con-
sciousness on this subject. and the
same kind of assurance by indirection,
is conveyed in a recent article by a
Roosevelt intimate, George Creel, in
Golfers. Creels article begins:
Not the least cause for White House
laughter in these pOSt-eection days is
the growing whisper that the idea OF
third term has taken fixed shape
in the Presidents mind 4" 1t hap
pens to be the case that Franklin D.
Roosevelt looks forward to private life
with keenest expectation Only
recently, in conversation with an inti-
mate, he said On January 81, 1941,
when a new President takes over,
will be in Hyde Park having the time
of my life
Clearly that date. January 20, l94l
is much on Mr. RooSevelt's mind. His
preoccupation appears again and
again in the reports from callers at
the White House. Senators call on
Mr.. Roosevelt to talk about his court
proposal When the Senators come
out, waiting newspaper men ask them
/
about. One after another says the
President brought up the abSurdity OF
| his wanting a third term, and said his
| dearest wish is to retire to Hyde Park
on January 20. 194l.
What is to be inferred from this
reiteration? And from the fact that
! it is put in indirect form. and from
0l1,.;o IL
thinks a good deal about the coming
to an end Of his second term? The
question is asked in good faith. 1t is
for those to answer who have most
understanding of human nature, most
experience with the world.
First Roosevelt Was Direct.
Theodore Roosevelt, under analo-
gous circumstances, when he deter
mined not to run again at the end
of his second term, said 1t once, and
said it directly-and thereafter never
said it again Theodore Roosevelt. or
the night after he was elected for g

besought to repeat his declaration. He
never would and never did. To the
