A Great Falls boy whose career
in the United States foreign serv-
ice has brought him posts in South
and East Africa, Central America
and now North Africa, recently
visited his old home. He is Will
lard Quincy Stanton, son of the
late John W. Stanton, pioneer
Great Falls lawyer, and the broth
er of Mrs. Frank M. Wallace of
that city. He is also nephew of
George III. Stanton of Great Falls.
He Is accompanied by his wife, who
is a former Boston girl, and their
2-year-old son, John w. Stanton I'd.
They left Great Falls for California
before returning to Washington and
then to CaSablanca, Morocco, where
he is American consul.
Morocco, the northwestern point of
which Is on the Strait of Gibraltar
'Ethe pillars of Hercules'-is about the
size of Montana with population of
6,500,000, of which So percent is rep
resented by natives. They speak Arabic
and are Mohammedans. About 80 per-
cent of Morocco is a French protec-
torate under which the political status

Mohammedan religion is maintained.
City Of 100000
Casablanca Is a city Of 100000 people,
a port on the Atlantic that has be-
come increasingly important Stanton
said that outstanding items of import
from the United States include auto
mobiles, oil products and sewing ma
chimes. American firms, either through
their own agencies or European repre-
sentatives, import a variety Of prod
uctS that mainly find their way into
the native trade.
The country produces wheat, which
depends in large part on irrigation.
Rainfall varies from virtually nothing
at interior points to around 80 inches
in temperatures. Compared with desert
areas, the mercury at Casablanca
usually is moderate, but high humidity
on the SeacOaSt makes the tempera-
lures there much more percepttble
than the dry air Of Montana at the
same temperature would be. Although
the thermometer in the low interior
Is not intensely felt in the shade.
Morocco, Stanton pointed out, Is
the least EIropeanized of the North
African countries. Until quite recently
European interests conferred to the east
Of Morocco, but military developments
have made Morocco and that general
region of the west coast of Africa of |
great strategic Importance.

Il am going to use some plain Ian
guage which I regret being obliged to
utter. The administration Of the Wag-
ner Labor Relations act has fairly
brought about a reign of terror among
employers of labor in this country. It
has Inundated men who have been
deserving of high praise for the man
ner in which they have conducted en-
terprises which have built up this
nation to its proud industrial position.
1t has overawed small employers and
has initiated against the investment
of capital in new enterprises and the
extension of old ones. 1t has been a
great deterrent to a revival Of business
and has prevented the free flow Of
capital into worthwhile business en-
terprises
1.-THE mining industry has been a
great resource to the nation during all
the period of depression. 1t is now and
has been an outstanding factor in the
development Of our country. 1t has
taken greater risks than any other 1t
depression. 1t has paid high wages,
provided good working conditions,
spent millions to provide safety for
its employees. 1t does not deserve to be
made a criminal before the bar of an
administrative board which has pre-
judged its guilt. If sins have been
committed in the past in the relations
employees, the industry as a whole
should not fail to denounce such prac-
tees, but 1t must stand firmly together,
urge upon its representatives in con-
greSs that they support amendments
to the Labor Relations act which will
make 1t what it proposes to be, an in.
strument to diminish the causes Of
labor disputes burdening or obstructing
interstate or foreign commerce.
And above all, the mining industry
must not be afraid to fight even though
today the administration Of this act
is antagonistic and reprisals may be
expected. 1t Is still the duty of those
in charge of mining operations to in |
Sist upon their rights, to fight with
all the strength that they possess to
preserve the guarantees which citizen
ship in America conferS upon all. They |
must never consent to the theory that |
there is a distinction of class between |
employers and employees and that the |
employing class can be bought before /
the bar of a preiudiced court and |
convicted of the claim of unfair labor |
practices before it has had an oppOrv
tunity to present its case"

Harry B. Daems, postmaster of
Varney, a small community in the
Madison valley, and who attended
the convention of Montana pio-
neers held recently in Butte, has
something to brag about" It is
the pick and gold pan used by Bill
Fairweather when he made the
discovery which touched off the
excitement at Alder gulch in the
summer of 1868.
Daems says he well remembers Fair
weather and picked out the place for
his grave when he died at Pete Days
roadhouSe, about 10 years after he had
made his famous strike.
MY sister married Mrs. Days son
John Ford" said DaemS. Mrs. DAILY
had been married previously to q man
by the name of Ford She married DAILY
after Ford'S death. knew the Days
well. They were among the finest
people in the valley, incidentally. I
used to be back and forth to the place
a lot, so when Fairweather died there,
I and another fellow picked out the
place for his grave. was about ii
years old at the time.
After the funeral DAILY was looking
over Fairweather's effects. He died
broke but he had few personal ef-
fects, including his pick and gold pan
DAILY said, You might Just as well
have these I have had them ever
since and treasure them highly. May
be some day I'll donate them to the
historical museum at Virginia City"
Daems Is a son of DR.. L. s. Daems
who landed at Alder gulch In the fall
Of 1858, the first doctor in the camp.
He came overland from Denver with
an immigrant train and brought along
a supply of drugs. His wife arrived a
year later in 1854. II was born there

GOLn PROnuCTION

The gold production of the United
States for the year 1899 will exceed
that of 1888 by over 10000 fine
ounces, Merrill E. Shoup, president,
Golden Cycle Corp, Colorado Springs,
Colo, predicted. The world outlook for
1889, insofar as the production of gold
is concerned, points to the same up
ward trend which has risen steadily
from 19,317961 ounces in 1929 to 81
los, 391 ounces in 1898, he stated.

The Political Mill
His First Political Address DicIoses Dewey
With Capacity to Grosp Major Issues

is to be delivered in New York City
December l6, at the annual dinner
Of the Pennsylvania Society Of New
York. George Wharton Pepper Of
Philadelphia, former Senator from
Pennsylvania, Is to be the other
guest speaker. Now that the Dew
ey-for- President campaign has actu-
ally come into the open, 1t Is the
plan Of his managers to press 1t.
And Mr.. Dewey necessarily must
carry the burden Of the fight.
Two Tours Planned.
It is planned to send him twice
across the continent-once over the
northern route and once over q
southern route. He will speak, too,
in the East and in New England.
His managers feel that he must
become more than q name to the
American people, that he must get
out and meet them. And they are
counting heavily on the impression
he is likely to make.
There is more than hint that
the Dewey campaign will seek to
win over to his candidacy the wom-
en- voters. Mrs. Ruth Hanna Nc
Cormick Simms is co-manager of
the Dewey headquarters and cam
paign with J. Russell Sprague, Re-
publican leader of Nassau County,
N. Y. Mrs. Simms not only Is the
daughter Of one of the forceful po-
litical leaders of the past, the late
Mark Hanna, but she is a. politician
in her own right. She was at one
tirpe a member Of the House from
Illinois and a candidate for the
Senate.
No Mention Of War.
In his address last night Mr..
Dewey did not mention the coun-
try's foreign relations nor the war
abroad. Eventually he will have to
deal with it, particularly If an early
peace is not made on the other side
Of the Atlantic. The war abroad
admittedly has been a sore blow to
Republican hopes in this country
because, for the time being at least,
discussion g the war and its prob
able effects on the United States
has diminished interest In domestic
problems.
Republicans are mindful of the
fact that another European war
was in part responsible for a Demo-
cratic victory in 1916. What they
fear Is that the Democrats again
will capitalize on the slogan, He
kept us out of war" with President
Roosevelt at the head Of their ma
tional ticket or another who has
his blessing.
Mr.. Dewey was aloof from the
fight in Congress over the repeal
of the arms embargo. while his two
principal opponents for the nomi-
nation, Senator Vandenberg Of
Michigan and Senator Taft of
Ohio. battled-one against repeal
and the other for it.

Df. husenoers. In 1875, the
pudgy little German industrialist
with the Kaiserlich mustache owned
or controlled 81 per cent Of the Ger
man press, the UFA films, the, great
press associations, seven great banks>
and a number of large paper COM
panies. With these and other pow
erful weapons, he started q drive
for the restoration Of the mon
archy. When, in 1928, he joined
Thyssen and the Ruhr steel barons
in financing the Naz movement, it
was commonly supposed by political
observers that the party drive would
be directed to Hohenzollern come
back. The first hint of disillu-
sionment came in June, 1888. when
the Nazis snatched DR.. Hugenberg's
little green shirt army and made
his newspapers print eulogies Of this
seizure. Since then, DR.. Hugenberg
hasn't been going out much after
dark. His 1900 newspapers and his
great film companies have been
seized or destroyed and he finds it
advisable to seek a health resort
somewhere over the border.
The son of a minor government
omcial IN pre-war Prussia, he en-
gagged in banking at Posen and
Frankfort and became a director
of the Krupp steel and munitions
firms. In 1916 he bought the Lokal
Anzeiger. having the largest cir
culation In Berlin, with funds sup.
piled by Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg. 1t was in association with
Hugo SHINES, with whom he was
co-partner and profit-taker in
the mad imitation run-around. that
he began garnering newspapers and
films.
He savagely opposed the Dawes
plan, the entry of Germany into
the League of Nations, the German
Republic and all agencies of recon-
struction which did not spring from
roaring, rampant, demagogic Prus-
sian militarism. Like the man
Horace wrote about, "he's an even-
tempered man-he's always mad"
The angriest man In Germany, he
contributed to Germany's troubled
hour the tact and suavity of an
indignant porcupine.

His target was the "defeatism'
of the New Deal and its leaders. His
substitute for this attitude of mino
is new philosophy of hope and
denial that America has no more
frontiers" The crisis in America
he said, lis crisis of faith-in our
selves, in our system, and in oul
traditions"
Mr.. Dewey did not hesitate to con-
fess his own abiding faith" that the
country will win out and the crisis
will pass. His speech was, in effect
a message Of hope to the millions
Of young-and older-people who
have been unable to find jobs In
this last decade Of depression.
The youthful racket busters first
political address in the national field
shows him with a capacity to grasp
major issues. There was no sug-
gestion Of an attempt to turn the
clock back in America. On the con-
trary, his call was to go forward
To 90 forward through the encour-
agement of American enterprise
Government hostility, repressive
taxation and economic quackery,'
he said, have kept "the surging flow
of commercial venture" from going
to work.
Private Enterprise.
He spoke not only to the youth
of the country but to the business
men. the farmers and the indus
trial workers and there was
nothing discouraging to any of them
in What he had to say. Quite the
reverse. His attack on, the New
Deal was because it had stepped on
private enterprise-and In Mr.. Dew
eys opinion only through private
enterprise can this country go for
ward and maintain its institutions
and the American way of living.
Mr.. Dewey's speech was free OF
passionate denunciation. His criti-
cism of the New Deal was largely
because it had failed to attain its
objective-the putting of Americans
back to work, despite the expendi-
ture Of billions of dollars of public
money"-which in the final analy-
sis is the money of the American
people. ...--
1.-THE one thing" he said, II want
to do in whatever way can is to
help make the courage OF eternal
youth run once more in the veins OF
my party and my country" In q
sentence you have the burden Of his
first political appeal to the voters.
Difficult Road Ahead.
Mr.. Dewey. despite the glamou,
which has surrounded him as a
racket buster and fighting district
attorney and as a result of his con-
victions of leading underworld fig
ures and shady politicians, has a
difficult road ahead Of him in his
campaign. The country has been
told again and again that "he is
too young" that he does not un-
derstand national problems, that
his experience has not been wide
enough. II he continues to make
addresses of the same caliber as
that of last night, however, he will
do much to dispel all Of these pre-
conceived notions of what he is and
what his capabilities are.
He made an allusion in opening
his address to his youth, but only
to call the attention of his Mime
sofa audience to the fact that he
Is five wears older than their Gov.
Harold E. Stassen and to point out
that Gov. Stassen in a year in office
has done much to better conditions.
That kind of thing is not likely to
ALLEVIATE young Republicans from
Mr.. Dewey. Indeed, a great deal
of his support in other States al
ready is coming from the more
youthful groups of voters.
