an NLRB examiner recommended
that Ford be directed to notify

Two live young lawyers have
their hats in the ring for the county

associated with Sam Ford who is the
leading Republican Candidate for
governor of Montana. Joe is unop-
posed on the Republican ticket.
Wilbur Werner is associated with
John Coburn in q Cut Bank law

conner in the county he has made
himself good reputation as vigor-

Mrs. Mildred Armstrong, former

will run on the sticker campaign for
clerk of court in Glacier county on
the republican ticket. There is one
other candidate on the ticket.
Several polls are Icing conducted
throughout the state with interes-

Ayers seem to be neck and neck in
the Democratic primaries for gtver-

the edge on the Republican side.
The Lieutenant governor races are
close with DR.. McGregor Of Great

slight leads. The three candidates
for Superintendent of Schools on the
Democratic ticket are neck and

Republican side seems to have lead.
The Republican race for Congress in

Political HILL Lites
By THE OBSERVER
By TIL

Nobody has ever doubted the
Galloping Swede's knowledge of the
oil and gas business, Glacier Coun-
ty's infant industry, but his recent
entry into the livestock business by
his purchase of large ranch in the
Avon area will give him a valuable
slant on the problems of the state s
agricultural interests. The Swede is
a methodical worker and had the
enviable record in the last legisla.
tor of never missing session, and
of having carefully tabulated infor.
nation on all bills that was the ad.
miration of some of the more sea.
soned legislators.
While the 1910 election brings
some newcomers into the political
fold it also brings into the picture
in the person of Horace yudson a
seasoned campaigner and an astute
lawyer. Horace was formerly a resi-
dent of Browning, but he has been
such a successful prosecutor for
Glacier County that the County seat
has claimed him for number o!
years.
The politically minded are watch
ing with interest the race between
DR.. Minette and Steve Rigney. Both
these men are long time residents of
the county and are well known to
its four Corners. Minette has ser.
we'd in the lower legislative house
for Glacier and Rigney's legal con-
nections have given him a wide ac-
quaintance OF Montana problems.
Two reservation boys will make
the race this fall for the job of clerk
Of court. Dan Welch comes of old
Democratic lineage and is an exper-
fenced campaigner. Art Perrine is
a newcomer in the political field but
has political background. His
father, Jim Perrine, was one of Gla

and at one time represented the
county in the Montana Legislature.

A Long Range Prediction
Bv JOHN ADAMS

On July 2, 1776, the delegates from
the 13 colonies, meeting in Phila-
delphia, voted to separate from Brit
ain. On that day, two days before
the Declaration of Independence was
signed, John Adams. later to become
second President of the United
States. wrote to his wife, Abigail:
Il am apt TO believe that it (the
day. will be celebrated by succeed
ing generations as the great anniver-
sary festival. 1t ought to be COM
memorated as the day of deliver
ance, by solemn acts Of devotion to
God Almighty. 1t ought to be solem-
nized with pomp and parade, with
shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonfires, and illuminations from one
end of this continent to the other,
from this time forward evermore.
"You will think me transported

umph in that days transaction, even
though we should rue it, which

The Lewis Speech

The question naturally arising from
John L. Lewis unreStrained indorse-
ment of Wendell Willkie is the extent
to which the rank and file of labor
may be expected to follow his recon-
mendations. On this score there is
the widest divergence of opinion.
In States like Ohio and Pennsylvania,
where indications point to a close
race, the position taken by the labor
leader may prove decisive in MIR.
Wilkes favor. But against these
potential gains there must be bal
anced the possibility that other pros
pective Willkie supporters, men and
women to whom the very name of
the C. I. o. chieftain is anathema,
may be alienated by Mr.. Lewis en-
listment in the Republican cause.
1t has long been evident that Mr..
Lewis and the President had reached
the parting of the ways. Early in
from the Lewis headquarters of a
third party movement but Mr. Lewis,
astute politician that he is, must
have understood from the beginning
the futiity of any such effort at
this time His one real hope of
bringing about the defeat Of Mr..
Roosevelt has lain in making COM
mon cause with the Republican cam
didate, and that is the course that
he has chosen.
In passing, it may be wondered
with what mixed emotions the enlist
ment of this unorthodox recruit was
received in G. o. P. headquarters.
His attack of last night on the New
Deals domestic failures closely par
allels those which MIR. Willkie has
been making, and his statement of
the qualifications of the G. o. P.
nominee would have done credit to
the most ardent and the most elo-
quent Republican. His excoriation
Of the Presidents foreign policy was
a glaring Misrepresentation of fact,
dangerous in the extreme at such
critical time. Surely, this phase of
his address will receive no indorse-
ment from Mr.. Willkie.
For those whose imaginationS balk
at the coalition that took form last
night, there is comfort in the old
adage that politics makes strange
boIfol1ouc And o,Ir po1jtical biStorV
records none more strange than this.

ElabOrateS on Answer to
Supreme Court Question.

To the Editor of The Star:
In Mr.. Haskin's column of october 81,
some one asked if there are any men,
bers of the Supreme Court who are not
lawyers. The answer was that while
there is no provision that all members
of the Supreme Court must be lawyers,
1T so happens" that up to this time
all of the justices have been lawyers.
I assume that the reply was given
in that form in a spirit of humor. There
is likewise no provision that justices of
the Supreme Court shall be able to
read and write, but obviously they
should be so qualified
The fantastic idea that judges in our
highest court of law may be appointed
without regard to their qualifications
in law originated in the controversy
over the court-packing plan, in 1887.
1 recently found a quotation from
an address by John Marshall, delivered
after his retirement from the Supreme
Court, while acting as a delegate to
the Virginia Constitutional Convention.
He was discussing the function of the
judiciary. He said:
Il have always thought, from my
earliest youth till now, that the greatest
scourge an angry heaven ever inflicted
upon an ungrateful and SHINING people
was an ignorant, a corrupt or a de-
pendent judiciary" CIV. BURNSIDE.

News Via Berlin

Launching by a District Court
grand jury of an inquiry into the
origin, sponsorship and activities OF
the Transocean News Service, head
quarters of which are in Berlin, has
evoked from its manager, Manfred
Zapp, some interesting data regard
ing his organization. The Associated
Press quotes Mr.. Zapp as saying that
Transocean News is a German serv-
ice with branches in most Of the
large cities of the world. that it re-
ceives from Berlin by wireless news
from all over the world which is
then mailed to newspapers through
out the United States and that
American news stories, in turn, are
radiOed to Berlin. The Congress
sional Directory lists Mr.. Zapp and
another TranSOcean representative
as accredited members of the Senate
and House press galleries. With
such credentials they have entree to
most official press conferences in
Washington. Mr.. ZappS Washington
correspondent also attends the
White House and State Department
press conferences. There is nothing
irregular, of course, about CORE
SpondentS of foreign news agencies
being admitted to these conferences.
The correspondent of the Nazi off,
cial news agency, the German News
Bureau (knoWn as D. N. B.. is a
regular attendant at Washington
press conferences.
Under the Foreign Agents Regis
tration Act of 1898, agents of for
eign principals" official or private,
are required to fill out a form ad-
vising the State Department of all
foreign connections, direct or in
direct. with names Of their sponsors
and an explanation Of the duties
performed for them in the United
States. The Department of Justice
wishes to determine, through grand
jury proceedings with consequent
right to subpoena witnesses and
place them under oath, whether
Transocean News is another, but
unregistered, official news agency
or representative of the German
government. In view Of the public
ity which has been given it's activi-
ties recently in connection with the
seizure by the Dies Committee of its
records in New York City, the
Transocean News Service, if it is
innocent of wrongdoing, should well
come a court directed investigation
of it's operations. Certainly, if there
is probable cause to suspect that this
or any other foreign news agency is
masquerading under false colors for
purposes of propaganda or other
wise, it is the duty of the Depart
ment of Justice in these tense times
to make a prompt and thorough
going investigation.

Training for Touehness

The usual system of recruit train
ing, says a doctor writing for the
Journal of the American Medical
Association, is all wrong. Sending
rockies North on summer maneuverS
and South on winter ones makes
siSSies of them-mere fairWeather
soldiers Then along comes a war,
requiring some to serve in bliStering
deserts and others in polar regions,
with the result that the men are
not able to take it. He would reverse
the plan, sending draftees from
Alabama for an invigorating winter
campaign in the SHOWS of Alaska,
and six months later would SEND
other draftees from Minnesota to
some tropical hot spot where they
could stew in their own Juice.
No doubt the survivors would make
good soldiers, especially if they hated
the enemy as much as they would
the doctor. There is much reason to
believe that they would become cli-
matte liars, or worse still, climatic
bores. Is the prospect of securing
a tough soldiery worth the chance
of having their fellow citizens run
shrieking at their approach, to avoid
listening to tales of the dreadful
winter of '4O-'41, when it got so cold
that the mess sergeant had to add
alcohol to the coffee to keep it from
freezing solid, or the awful summer
of Al, when it was so hot that old
time top sergeantS burst Spontane-
ously into flame at the mere sight OF
a recruit?

war by the foreign policy Of Presi-

war by the foreign policy OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The simple fact of the matter is
that we are not heading for war"
The phrase is dangerous misnomer.
1t would be much more accurate to
say that war is heading for us, and
the policies which this administra-
ton has followed and which Mr..
Willkie has indorsed, are designed
to keep the war away from our
shores.
In the heat of this political cam
paign, we should never for a mo-
ment lose sight of the fact that the
greatest possible danger to us would
result from defeat of Great Britain.
AS long as the British keep fighting
we are relatively secure. Their in
Spired resistance is giving us time in
which to strengthen our neglected
defenses and every dictate of COM
mon sense demands that we help
them to the very limit of our ability.
There is no reason to believe-and
certainly MI. Willkie does not believe
that by so doing we make enemies
of and invite attack from the dicta-
tors. They are our enemies now and
if they were deSirouS and capable of
attacking us, we have already pro-
vided, through the aid previously
extended to Britain, ample preteXt
for doing SO. But they have not
attacked us because they cannot, and
as long as the British keep fighting
they will continue to be unable to
launch the assault. 1t is for this
reason that the extension of effective
aid to Britain has been a cardinal
point of our foreign policy, and it
would be the height of folly to aban-
don or to weaken that policy in any
way at this time.

Prince Georges Raids

It is interesting to note that States
Attorney H. Winship Wheatley, jr.,
called on State police rather than
county officers to raid four Prince
Georges County night spots and ar
rest the proprietorS on charges OF
selling liquor after the Saturday mid
night closing hour. The States at
torney deserves full credit for obtain
ing the State officers, attiring them
in civilian clothes and planning and
executing the raids Mr. Wheatley
says he received numerous COM
plants liquor was being sold at illegal
hours and concluded that action was
needed. He was further spurred by
the fact that several recent traffic
manslaughter cases were attributed
to liquor purchased after the unob-
served closing hour.
The liquor raids are the third high
light of the administration of Mr..
Wheatley, who took Office about two
years ago. The other two were the
closing of notorious gambling
establishment through a campaign
of harassment which included the
noting of the license tags of all
patrons, and a campaign against
county numbers operators. The
county police, responsible for the
first two were not informed in ad-
vance of the third.

Heading for War

In a question and answer discus
sion at Chicago this week, Wendell
Willkie, commenting on the Roose-
welt administrations policy of ex-
tending aid to Great Britain, said:
1--WE, the people of America, are
against dictators; we, the people Of
America, are in favor of giving aid
to Great Britain. In fact, I am in
favor of giving more effective aid to
Great Britain than she is now get
ting from the New Deal"
A moment later he was asked to
state the difference between his for
eign policy and that of the present
administration. He replied: Zone
difference is my determination to
stay out of war 1 have real fear
that this administration is heading
for War-and I am against our going
to war and will do all that I can to
avoid it,

confusing to say the least. What
does the Republican candidate mean
when he says he is afraid that the
Roosevelt administration, under its
present foreign policy, is heading
for war? Is he talking about the
present policy of aiding Britain? If
so, how can he say at the same time
that he is in favor of giving even
more effective aid? If Mr.. WILKES
language means anything, it can
only be assumed that his fears are
directed to some other, some un-
specified, phase of our foreign policy.
But in the absence of specification,
amply supported by fact or logic,
there can be no justification what
soever for giving currency to the
false fear that we are being led to

Ask Continuance Of
johnson Act.
To the Editor Of The Star;


Current events prove that the johnson
Act-perhaps our last stop-gap to direct
involvement in foreign warts in danger.
Always the smart politician, President
Roosevelt has put the damper on Sena-
tor Kings proposal that the United
States extend new credit to Britain by
waving the prohibition of loans to war
debtor nations-until after the November
election. The Chief Executive seems to
feel that our country should have some
more conditioning before taking this
additional short step to war.
1t is precisely to resist such condi-
tioning process that our militant non
interventionist movement has struck off
a special war debt stamp issue of
100000 stamps to help defend the act
sponsored by that great American, Sena
tor Hiram johnson of California, and
thus help to spell the difference between
war and speace for America.
