Dictatorship and the Childhood Urge

Psychologists hedge their ideas III
a thicket OF big words. They invent
and use words of their own: words
which have a different meaning to
them than to you and me.
Sometimes it is hard to discover
what they are driving at. Neverthe-
less, some of their ideas are quite
simple. and equally sensible, when
you break through the verbal bushes.
Psychologists have an explanation
of the appeal of dictatorship in
these days, and it was we'll stated
by DR.. Margaret E. Fries to the
American Orthopsychiatric Associa-
ton. Don't let the association
name scare you; follow the argu-
ment
Deep down in every person, no
matter how old or how experienced
he becomes. there lies buried a
memory of childhood. Even if we
don't realize it, some part of our
consciousness remembers the time
when we were warm, protected. de-
pendent. We didn't have to think
much then; our thinking was done
for us. We weren't held very strictly
responsible for our little misdeeds.
We didn't have 10 worry-things
were done for us.
Men and women grow up. They
have to struggle for a living. They
have to think, always a painful and
resented process. They have to bear
responsibility for their acts. Nobody
sees to it that they are warm, and
protected and safe.

resented Finley and County Attor-
ney Marshall Candee was counsel
for the state. Louie J. Teller, chair
man of the Indian fish and game
commission, Wiley and Finley
were witnesses. The latter spoke
through an interpreter.
Deputy Wiley arrested Finley &C
,cording to, his understanding of the
state law that Indians have no more
right to kill game or fish off the
reservation during closed season
than do white people.
According to evidence presented
by the Indians attorney, Finley had
inquired of Teller concerning his
right to take game killed on the res
ervation to points distant from spe-
Gifted grounds. Teller informed
him that this was within the law
according to treaties with the fed
eral government.
County Attorney Candee present
ed the question of Indians violating
game laws by those who might kill
game off the reservation and then
swear that they had killed it on the
reservation. Mr.. Candee said this
fact would undoubtedly give the In
dians an alibi and would seriously
endanger the fine hunting now
available in this section of the state
Evidence was presented by both
sides and much law was argued af-
ter which the case was turned over
to the jury who returned verdict
of not guilty within a few minutes

Heavy Growth Of Wild Rice Reported
In Some Places From Seedlings Mode
Lost Spring-Wonts to Try Wild Millet

Now that duck hunters are daily
visiting the lakes and streams OF
this district, reports are coming IN
regarding the planting of wild rice
that was done last spring. Reports
prove that the paintings have
turned out most successfully, IN
most instances.
Jim Harris brought stalk Of the
wild rice to town with him Sunday
and was. showing \ it to interested
townspeople. It was pulled out Of
Thompson lake not far from the
Harris Cloutier cabin on the hke.
The stalk brought to town meas
ured between seven and eight fest
tall. Harris reports II stead o4lt ct
ths w1tef ~ high - 4 1Ean standing
'1iso eood A. - eia1x lEou1 10
10 Il inches long an each Stalk
and heavy with rice. In this patch
on Thompson lake, the stand was
very heavy and thick.
Best results were obtained, says
Harris, in places where the lake
bottom was muddy and Shiny. There
the rice seemed to do exceptionally
well. Where the rice was planted
on. sandy and gravelly bottoms, 1t
apparently did not make 50 good =
catch; in fact, did not catch at all
in most instances.
Other reports were brought in by
Bill Farris and Vern He4eey. Last
spring they planted an area along
the north side Of Schneider lake.
Farris was out at the lake the first
OF the week for some duck shooting
and reports the wild rice is so thick
one can hardly get boat through it.
He says it was necessary to wade
into the shallow water and pull the
boat through the rank growth of
rice. Farris estimates that fully 30
per cent of the rice that was seeded
there in the spring developed into
plants He also reports he noticed
while there that when ducks land
| ed on the lake, they headed immedi-
ately for the wild rice.
Schneider lake is shallow, mud
lake and is evidently natural
place for the wild rice.
A number of other areas we're
planted in the spring but reports
have not yet come in from them.
Bessey is now anxious to try out
the planting of wild millet along
the shores of some Of the lakes
Wild millet will grow on dry land
and in most any sort of soil, he
says, and he believes it would
thrive and provide additional bait
to draw the ducks into this dis
| trict

peatedly called back and responded
most generously. After several
such numbers she responded to the
final encore by appearing and re-
marking that she would long re-
member Libby for the gracious re-
ception given her and for the APP
probation of her efforts. Miss lne7
Ratekin Of Libby acted as accom-
PIANIST for Miss Leonard.
Miss Leonard has not only ap-
peared with the Metropolitan COM
pany of New York City but has
also sung in many of the capitals Of
Europe. Last spring she appeared

Owns FoTrf :.
Where Doniel Boone
Built Fort

'sThe old fort built by Daniel
Boone is on our place not far from
Fayette, Mo- said Mrs. Anne M.
Peacher while visiting this week in
the Western News Office. Mrs.
Peacher is in Libby TOR visit with
her sister, Mrs. J. n. Evzns, whom
she had not seen for 81 years
Daniel Boone spent a number
OF years in our section said Mrs.
Peacher. 1T was on the farm now
owned by us that Boone threw to
bacco into the eyes of some In
dians when they were about to at
tack him at one time and thereby
was able to make his escape" His
tory students will remember ia
vorite school-day story having to
do with Boone and the Indians. It
will be remembered that Boone
was one day working in his to
bacco shed when suddenly some
Indians appeared in the doorway.
He suspected that they were un-
friendly and meant him no good SO
he gained their interest by explain
ing how the tobacco was treated,
he powdering some of it up in the
palm of his hand, related Mrs.
Peacher. He then blinded the In
dams by suddenly throwing it into
their eyes, thus making his escape
A number of points of interest in
that section are named after Boone
she said.
Both Mrs. Peacher and Mrs. Ev-
ans have slept in a house built by
Jesse James and occupied by him
for time, not far from the Peacher
farm. 1t was in that immediate dis
trict that the James and Younger
boys carried on their lawless de.
predations.
Mrs. Peacher has quite a large
farm near Fayette. They grow
corn, sweet potatoes, tobacco--ir
act, all kinds of crops. They truck
the tobacco into Kentucky where i
is sold at public auction. Her sor
takes their tobacco to the market
She says he came home from hi:
i first trip and reported that the auc
4 tioneer spelled off exactly the same
lingo that is heard over a certain
radio program. AT first he could no
catch a word of it, he said, but soor
learned to understand it as readil,
as plain English.
Mrs. Peacher and Mrs. Evan
stated that their mother died las
February and had she lived t,
February Is she would have beef
IS years old. She was at that tim
the oldest person in that entire dis
trict.
This is Mrs. Peacher's first visi
to Libby and she is not only enjoy
ing the visit with her sister but i
also getting much pleasure out c
the visit to the mountains.
