MORE ABOUT PURE MILK.

While handing out credit for the
improvement in the milk sold in
Libby why hasn't someone thought
of giving. few plaudits to the
dairymen for they and they only
have done anything to improve the
milk, if there really is any improve
ment True, the dairymen neither
need nor want credit for doing their
duty but some of them also could
exhibit complimentary letters from
state officials.
In examining the records for the
last eight years, it is found that the
pasteurized milk being sold from
house to house in Libby has never
fallen below excellent" during all
those years. Why any sharp criti-
cism?n
As for the raw milk tests, this
milk is between two and three days
old when 1t reaches Helena for ex-
animation, so old that nobody would
think of using it. Often the ice
has melted around the bottles,
bringing up the temperature and the
bacteria count. To be fair, and of
any value, these tests should be
made as soon as the milk arrives
at the plant. However, in recent
months the state has adopted a
more efficient method of packing
that delivers the. samples in Helena
in much better condition, giving
the producer chance to make high
grades.
The state has nothing to do with
this grading-it is done locally and
is not official The consumers
should know the facts.

CHICAGO, Nov. 80. CUP)-Ten
ears of golden yellow corn, two
of them offspring of the 1886
worlds champion entry, won Will
liam H. Curry of Upton, Ind, the
worlds corn king" crown yester-
day and made him the first person
in history to take thrice success
sively the highest honor. a corn
grower can achieve.
Curry won on corn he selected
from 32-acre tract on a 145-
acre farm he operates in central
Indiana. Two of the ears came
from the plot in which he planted
seed from the ears which won him
the corn title in 1886. They were
selected, he said, by his son, Rob
ert. 18, who was acclaimed corn
prince of the world on a similar
exhibit in 1881.

OUR CRAVEST DANGER

Our grayest danger is not in
the fact that we have a few un-
scrupulous politicians, either in or
out of office, but because we have
so many unSophisticated and un-
stable voters. \ democracy Is
safe only when all the voters are
capable of recognizing efficient
and conscientious office seekers,
and ready to vote for them at all
costs. This. of course, calls for a
degree of perfection which we
have not at present wished upon
ourselves. But, on the whole, we
could do much better in this re-
spect than we are doing in the
present.
A government "by the people,
of the people and for the people -
cannot be continued in safe
manner, where you can fool all
the people all the time" nor
where you can fool some of the
people all the time" 1t cannot be
continued at its best even where
you can fool some Of the people
some of the time" A democracy
can be a true democracy when
you can fool none Of the people
none of the time" and not until
then. This is the kind of men l
had in mind in a recent article,
where | used the quotation, wise,
honest men are in demand. -
When every person in the coun-
try, officers and those who vote,

of l65 900. The chief OF stall, Gen.
eral Craig, proposes that it be en-
larged. But he asks only 5000
additional men. No one will think
that dangerous.
It is the navy which is asking
for the immense increases in bat
tleships and other heavy tonnage
vessels, the full extent OF which
has only been whispered so far.
Also we are to have $4,000 planes
by the end of 1899.
Now, if the object of the vast
naval expansion is defense, the
question arises-what and whom
are we to defend ourselves
against? And what are we to de-
fend?
National defense can be ex-
panded to mean anything any
champion of a vast navy wishes
it to mean. 1t may mean the pro-
lection of the shores of continen-
tai United States from invasion
or attack. 1t may mean to defend
the continental shores plus Hawaii.
Or it may mean to protect the
Philippine Islands or it may mean
that the navy must be strong
enough to protect American Gin
terests," no matter where they are
located, even up the Yangtze river
in China. Or, upon the principle
that the best defense is offense-
to attack first-this idea of ma
tional defense may mean a navy
large enough to cope successfully
with any combination of powers
anywhere in the world. Therefore
the term national defense can be
used to defend any conceivable
expansion of our naval arm
amentS.
Before this controversy goes any
further, the advocates of naval
expansion might be asked and
forced by insistent questioning to
say just what they mean by the
term national defense" Unless
they do the whole discussion can
get nowhere.

NEW YORK.-Mr. Stuart Chase
- last year wrote a book about
the tyranny of words. Our daily
conversation, our newspapers, our
public utterances bristle with
words, words, bulging with omi-
nous meanings. And we use these
words to blast our foes or favor
our special objectives. They are
words like Communist" or
.Americanism." If we dislike a
mans views, we call them COM
nunist, and that settles their
hash. If we want to paint an
idea acceptably, we call it
American" and that makes it
perfect.
An old word, but with new
purpose, is now being used very
freely. 1t is the word defense. !"
Washington is preparing a big ode
tense" program. The people are
told they, must arm for national
defense. We read that the WPk
is to be gradually demobilized and
money applied to national de-
tense" ,"far ~,..,,
The reason is plain. The people
are in favor of national defense.
There is no man who does not
want national defense for this
country. Therefore, whatever is
proposed in the way of arms is
called national defense" That
makes everybody who opposes the
plan a traitor, a star gazing
ldealist, who wants to expose his
country nl to attack in the name of
pacifsm. - W. = ID
But since the new armament
program-whatever it is to be

AN ACCOUNTING is IN ORDER

Two years ago the administration of the high
ways as a state system was destroyed and in its
place was set up federation of districts, under
the same name. It is much the same sort of COM
mission as that with which the construction of the
roads was begun, in 1921, by Frank Page, only it
has not Frank Page. Chairman Page largely in
fluenced, although he could not control, location
and apportionment policies But road building,
road maintenance, personnel-that was his own
province, into which party politics was not allowed
to enter

and made state system indeed The present gen.

the road and prison departments, the extent to
which the immense machinery has been adapted to
purposes unrelated to road-building, road-mainten-
ance and prison operation will require looking into

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A PROPER NAME

If what Drew Pearson and Robert s: Allen,
writing in the Washington Merry Go Round, is true
then the we'll known "Buzzard's Roost" WPA prof.
oct in South Carolina is properly named The situa-
tion as described by Pearson and Allen is nothing
less than nauseating.
The project is for the development of electricity
in the area of Greenwood, S. c., and it was fought
tbrouph the courts for three years by the Duke
Power company before work started. The
pWA won the case and work has begun. Now,
Pearson and Allen say, the records of the PWA in
Washington reveal that an unemployed engineer
HIGH pressured the project through the Greenwood
county finance board and now is to receive six per
cent of the total cost of the project. That within
itself is not so bad. But there is more.
While the engineer is drawing a fat fee, in
Craarwood county, South Carolina, right in the
middle of the Nations No. economic problem
hare subsistence wages are being paid to workmen
emnloved on the project That is, according to
Pearson and Allen, work such as truck driving is
maid at the rate of about $6 to 81 per week. There
is more yet.
officials of the Greenwood county board were
Maid monthly wage from the funds of the project
Emploves of the finance board Were paid from
the funds of the project.
The county superintendent of education-heaven
knows what he had to do with building dam
was paid monthly salary.
And ell of that from the United States govern
ment funds allotted for the project.
And all of that while men working hard for
living are paid at the rate of 81 day.
Government officials, from the president down,
have been free in their criticism of the wages paid
in the South as they described the section as th
foremost economic problem in the nation
Government officials from the president dowu
appear to have done nothing to correct the Buz
yards Roost situation which smells to high heaven
There is small wonder that the influence and in
reference of the president himself was not enough
to elect Olin D. Johnston to the United States SEN
ate from South Carolina 1t is not difficult to un.
derstand in view of the conditions described by
Pearson and Allen, why South Carolina returned
the veteran and anti-new dealer, Senator E. D.
Smith, to the senate again despite the purge efforts
of the president.
The president cannot be held directly to blame
for the situation at Buzzard's Roost but the new
deal can and Mr. Roosevelt is titular head of the
new deal.
But the president and new deal leaders can do
something to correct the evils of this project and
they can safeguard against the recurrence of such
evils on other projects.
s After all, Buzzard's Roost is only one of thou
sands of PWA projects in the United States

CAREFUL PLANNING NEEDED FOR
GERMAN REFUGEES
(By BRUCE CATTON)

it is safe bet that every sparsely-settied
bit of land on earth will eventually be sug-
gested asia possible haven for the. Jewish,
refugees from Germany. Already such
widely separated spots as Alaska, British
Guinana and Tanganyika have been pro-
posed-and the end is not yet.
While the open season for such things IS
on, it can do no harm to make suggestions;
but before any such proposal can be taken
seriously there will have to be some
straight thinking about the needs and qua
lifications both of the refugees themselves
and of the lands which are proposed as
havens. .
That is why it is possible to sympathize
profoundly with the refugees plight and
still see a good deal of point to an objec-
ton raised by thes Ketchikan Chronicle,
Alaskan newspaper, concerning the pro-
posal to settle the refugees in the Matan-
uska Valley. .,,. e.. 81, g.. .''-
"We need population, but it must be rea-
s6nably selective," remarked the Chronicle.
It is perfectly true, of course, that the
rigors of winter weather in Alaska have
been exaggerated. From all accounts, Ma
tansuka has a climate not greatly unlike
that of the northwestern United States.
Anyone used to Minnesota or Dakota
winter, for instance, would have no trou-
bic surviving in southern Alaska.
But the weather is only one factor
Alaska has great riches, and it will ulti-
mately support large population; but
that population needs to be chosen with
care. Right now the need is for farmers,
Yeodsmen, people used to life ON the soil
and fitted to pioneering frontier life. The
government acted wisely in choosing farm
ef. folk from upper Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Minnesota for the Matanuska colony.
: But the bulk of the German refugees for
whom haven is being sought are not of
that class at all. Most of them are city
people, engaged in the professions or in
' trade. To settle some thousands of them
. on the Alaskan frontier - where agricul-
tpre. must for years to come be the basic
ecupation-would be as sad mistake as
it would have been for the U. S. govern
ment to populate. Matanuska with unem-
ployed factory hands and white collar peo-
pie from New York. 49,. ~-
1t is quite possible, of course, that by a
process of examination and selection a con-
siderable number of the refugees might be
found qualified to undertake such a life.
In that case, the question of settling them
IN Alaska might very well be considered
seriously. But it ought to be pretty clear
that Alaska does not offer solution for
the problem as whole. [
And the same thing is true, in different
degrees, of most of the other spots that
have been suggested. Simply finding an
uhoccppied bit of territory and dumping
the refugees on it, willy-nilly, won't do.
The problem is extremely complex, and
fitting the needs, of the refugees to the
needs of the available territories is going
to take great deal Of the most careful
kind of planning.
