FOR RIGHTS

of their principles is to carry
on by means of their own
power, to rely on their own
resources, and depend upon
their God and his soil to
carry them through. They
are quite successful, mas,
much as they form =
est county in tb tied
States, and are ar kot-free-
people. They sup Ut them
selves without the aid of
state or government and con-
sequently they dislike going
against these principles and
sending their children to
schools supported on bor-
rowed finances. This nation
is a nation of free people,
and however we may feel
personally about such mat
tiers as these, whether we
agree with the sentiments of
these others, let us at least
be as tolerant in our own
country as we criticise other
countries for not being.

AS a nation we believe in
rights in religious and civil
actions. There is nothing
that so stirs US to indigna-
ton as to hear about a for
eign nation becoming so
powerful and dOmineering
that they can interfere with
the lives and customs of an
under-dog people forced TO
bow to tyranny. But while
we are clucking our tongues
at such goings-on in coun-
tries beyond the waters, right
here in our own boundaries
a certain religious group of
thrifty, conscientious citizens
have been forced to carry an
appeal to the Supreme Court
regarding whether they
might not keep their children
in schools which they MAIN
tain, or must be forced to
send them to schools built of
borrowed money from the
government. These people
are self-sustaining and one

we throw away. One man
feels that all this waste is
not to be compared to
the wasting we do in time
and energy. We realize that
we sap our strength with
unnecessary things, and it is
usually too late when we
become aware of our fool
hardness. Why not profit
by the old saying, "Save at
the spigot and waste at the
bung hole, and keep the
spigot running smooth and
mend the bung hole, by
starting in as good thrifty
Americans to save and not
be sorry?

ITALY AND WHEAT

cheering multitude, with the
sun shining down on him and
his people. It is a vivid pic
ture and may be inspiring to
the Italian folks, but we are
wondering whether their
shouts will be so cheerful if
they become hungry. II Duce
says his people will be fed,
but even if they aren't fed
they will not humiliate
themselves by soliciting help
in any form from "so-called
great democracies". Cheer
ing him seems to be a habit
with the Italian people and
this is fitting if the cheers
don't turn to jeers when
granaries are depleted and
bread-boXes are affected. We
hope no nation will suffer a
shortage, if such there will
be, even if that same nation
refuses to buy it's bread
from enemies of Italy,. But
as wheat fields yield their
harvests, folks count their
blessings and wonder if an
other nation, Justify cheering
a man for his ardor and
energy, will let the lack of
millions of bushels of wheat
interfere with their praise.

WASTING AMERICANS

Did you ever stop to think
OF how we waste our re-
sources, of how we discard
the products that saved,
would cut down our expenses
and teach us the value of
thrift? We find many a fell
low around who figures he
can "beat the game" by
throwing his money away on
games of chance. There is
many a woman who puts the
left-overs from dinner in the
garbage instead of finding a
dish that might be tasty and
eaten. Our grandmothers
used to make soap out of
grease. and today lots of it

Despite the fact that
North America will produce
enough wheat to come closer
to feeding the world, does not
effect the Italian people who
are going to come out short
on their wheat crop this har-
vesting time. Our nation
will produce the second larg-
est crop of it's record, and
the Italian people have a
shortage of about 36,500,000
bushels of wheat. Mussolini
has heard the grumblings of
his people concerning the
poor bread they have been
forced to eat, and he has
promised them a bread with
a higher percentage Of corn
-four instead of substitutes.
This is all we'll and good for
the Italian people if their
wheat crop will supply the
necessary demands, but so
far their prospects have fall
en- short. They are a DEM
onstrative people and were
childishly elated over the
scene of their Mussolini,
stripped to the waist, heav-
ing sheaves of wheat into the
thresher, surrounded by a

by saving thai Representative Da-
vey Lewis ought to have the Demo-
cratic nomination.
In addition to these direct inter-
terences in state primaries, Mr..
Roosevelt's subordinates-men like
Relief Administrator Hopkins and
Secretary Ickes-horned into prima-
ries in Iowa, Oregon, Idaho and else
where. They were well licked in
Iowa and Idaho, and it was the re-
suit in the latter state that has
brought up the second stage Of the
controversy.
Idaho's Senator Pope used to say
that If any constituent wanted to
know his position on a given ques-
ton, it was necessary only to in
quire whether the President was for
or against it. Apparently, the vot-
ers in Idaho did not like that; they
preferred a senator to vote their
views rather than one who consist
emily voted the Presidents view.
Anyway, they nominated Represent
alive Clark, in their Democratic pri-
mary. He had something in ex-
cess Of $500 more votes than Mr..
Pope.
The licking administered to Sem
ator Pope did not taste well to the
President or the coterie Of New Deal
advisors. Senator Pope obviously
did not like it either, and he did the
childish thing of emitting loud and
noxious squawk that the nomination
was taken from him by Republi-
cans. He said they went into the
Democratic primary and gave Rep
resentative Clark their votes in suf-
ficient number to override the will
of majority of the Democrats in
the state. Senator Pope went to
Hyde Park, N. Y, to weep out his
story on the shoulders of Mr.. Roose-
welt, but it has not been made clear
whether it was the shoulders of the
President of the United States or of
the head Of the Democratic party.
Anyway, there was weeping at
Hyde Park.
uheS important second
Step in Controversy
And after that meeting and when
the tears were wiped away so there
would be no shifting, Mr.. Roosevelt
took the important second step in
the controversy. He denounced the
Republicans as having violated pub
lie morals" by voting for Mr.. Clark
in a Democratic primary, although
if the ballots were secret as the law
requires I have been unable to fig
ure out how either Mr.. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Pope know that it was the Re-
publicans and not the Democrats
who brought about Mr.. Pope's de-
feat. Anyway, Mr.. Roosevelt-ei-
Their as President of the United
States or as head Of the Democratic
party-condemned such terrible
things as Republican votes in a
Democratic primary. Such course
of action, the President or the head
of the Democratic party said, con-
stituted an attempt to destroy the
direct primary system. 1t appar-
emily did not matter to the Presi-
dent or the head Of the Democratic
party that Mr. Clark had cam
paigned as a Democrat while Sena-
tor Pope was sounding off as a 100
per cent'N Dealer.
have been wondering, since the
Hyde Park condemnation of the Re-
publicans, how Mr. Roosevelt''s posi-
ton in the two phases of his course
cen be recorciled. 1t never has
seemed to me to be so terrible for
the President or the head of the
Democratic party Cor the head of
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1938-09-08

the Republican party II the Presi-
dent be Republican, to state his
views about candidates. Probably,
the presidential Office ought not to
be used that way, but can not get
so excited about it as some writer's
and some newspapers and some pol
iticians have done. I am inclined
to regard such action as the purest
of politics and politics is a game and
the voters have to recognize that it
is a game. There has been a lot
of meaningless gushing going on
about Mr.. Roosevelt's course that
just fails to impress me at all.
But, on the other hand, there is
an old, old quotation: Consistency,
thou art jewel. In remembering
and applying that thought, it APP
pears to me that Mr.. Roosevelt has
gone off the deep end Of the pool
without an inflated rubber tube for
an arm rest. Indeed, isn't it a rath-
er silly thing, an utterly stupid piece
Of business, to claim the right to
interfere on his own part and tell
the common, ordinary garden varie-
ty Of voter that he can not take a
position because he once played on
the other team?

Is RooseVelt's Forgetsery
Working Well These Days?


Further, I am wondering whether
Mr.. Roosevelt's forgettery works so
well that he fails to recall his APP
peal in 1882 and again in 1896 for
Republicans to follow him, elect him
as the savior Of the country. It
seems to me If it is sauce for the
goose, the old gander can eat the
same food.
Further, there is q bit Of logic
about the whole thing that ought to
be examined. Take the state of
Georgia, for example, where the
Democratic nomination means cleo
ton. A Republican in Georgia would
be sunk without a trace, as far as
selection Of someone to represent
him in congress is concerned, If he
wanted to have his real choice re-
corded. His only course, if he pre-
ferred one Democratic candidate to
another, would be to enter the DEM
ocratic primary and vote for one of
those candidates. Assume that the
Republican voter lives in Idaho.
II that voter felt that neither
of the candidates for the Republican
nomination for the senate measured
up to his ideas, why should he not
be allowed to vote in the Democratic
primary in order to express his
preference? 1t might well be that a
Republican voter in Idaho would
feel that the Democratic nominee
had better chance of being elected
in November than did the Republi-
can nominee. If he felt that way, it
appears to me that he would be
showing good sense, common horse
sense to express his preference on
that side of the fence. l believe Mr..
Roosevelt's record would look very
much better at this point if he had
extended his congratulations to Rep
resentative Clark in Idaho, and
promised him the support of the
Democratic national committee in
the forthcoming election, as was
done by National Democratic Chair
man Farley. Surely, that would
have been craftsmanship and the
attitude Of good loser.
1t may be, however-and this is
an implication from the indications
Of the day-that Mr.. Roosevelt is
trying deliberately to force a re-
alignment Of voters throughout the
country. He may be seeking to drive
radicals into his camp-in case of
third term urge-and the conserv-
atives into another camp.

the state board of education
voted not to change contracts
on electrical work to be done
on the addition to the natural
science building at Lne staUe
university in Mossula. The board
previously had awarded the con-
tract to the second low bidder
because the low bidder did not
comply with union regulations.

result there is a low density of

in the development of tourist

be obvious.

materially increase because our
population is not increasing
rapidly and our density of car
ownership is relatively high
compared to the United States
average.
az We know that present
tourist travel contributes a sur
prising percentage to highway
funds.
90 We know that the poten-
tial tourist business is practic-
ally unlimited.
Careful surveys and research
show that only about 2l2c of
every tourist dollar left in Mon
tana is spent for gas tax. If the
highway department finds the
seasons total of those cash
mites so important why should
MT the residents of Montana
be proportionately interested in
the 97lac per dollar that is left
on their doorstep? Now, before
you fall into that stupid fall
acy and say, But my business

1t was estimated that in 1887
tourists left $4,000, 900 in cash
on the line in Montana. The

that was it's origin nevertheless.
