NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
SPLINT TIERS
is IT CHANCE.
By Ted ArepA
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


is IT CHANCE?
Weak men believe in luck. They
are always waiting for something
to happen. There is, of course, an
element of chance in every life,
but to the man of character, the
element of choice is far more inn
portant Inability to choose the
right, 6pens up the door for the
play of chance. He who worships
luck has tickle god.
Charles Stewart Parnell was an
Irish member of Parliament One
day while watching an acrobat in a
London theatre, he asked his COM
panion, why should that man yon-
der be acting a part behind the
footlights, while | am sitting IN
front of the footlights gazing upon
his facial contortions? Why is it
that I am called statesman. and
he is called clown" And then
he answered his own question in
these words, Chance, just chance!
Everything is chance
But ParneIl was wrong. His own
life proved the opposite to be true
that everything is character. A
man who could put his heel down on
legislative procedure and compel the
House Of Commons to recognize
certain rights for Ireland, was not
the pawn Of chance. He stood forth
as the symbol of strength and pur-
pose.
There is reason for most things
and cause and effect are of uni
versal application. A strong char
acter is built on choice and pluck
rather than chance and luck. THAI
is what Will Rogers meant wher
he was asked the secret OF his sue
cess. He replied, Cum and gump
ton He had demonstrated thal
| it is the steady aim that brings
down the game. Character is the
sky: chance is the flying cloud
Character is like the mountain; luck
is as the mist.

SHOP TALK
Oh Wad Some Power
BY THE EDITOR

IN VAu CVkuC AUWGA
Now and then we have wish for
heart-to-heart talk with our
readers. That wish is frequently
fathered by incidents similar to one
that came our way this week.
We received an anonymous letter
in which the unknown writer quite
bitterly attacks well-known Libby
business institution. The peeved
one tells in just what manner he
considered the business concern to
have done many things that 1t
shouldn't, takes the offender bitter
ly to task and, in short, tells what
it thinks of such treatment BUT
he or she doesn't have the courage
to sign the diatribe setting forth the
real or fancied wrongs. Neverthe-
less, the writer added this postscript.
We hope you will be public spirited
enough to print this"
Now, dear reader, what would you
think ii you were newspaper pub
Usher and received such letter?
OF course. nearly all publishers
have a hard and fast rule that NO
anonymous letters shall be pub
lished. But forgetting about that
rule. let's look into this letter.
| First, let us say that the writer
probably had SOME ground for
complaint, but for an entirely diff
ferent reason than he attributes as
the cause. Service Of late has not
been what it should be in this es-
tablshment and the writer ,of the
note therefore concludes that the
management was trying to deprive
him OF what was his due and what
he had paid tot, The truth is, we
are quite sure, that a weakness or
breakdown in equipment was solely
responsible for the trouble and
there was no intention on the part
OF the management to deprive any
one OF what was his due. The faulty
equipment should be repaired and
the service improved. But be that
as it may, the fact remains that the
writer Of the note was wholly in
error as to the motives involved
in this affair. Yet, he would have
this newspaper assume the respon-
sibility, the burden and the blame
for lodging a complaint in which
motives would be attacked when in
fact it was not intention but equip
ment that was at fault.
And then, dear reader, what do
you think OF person who will hide
behind the cloak Of anonymity
while asking the newspaper to be
the mouthpiece for the venting OF
his complaints He or she hopes
the newspaper will be public spir-
tied enough" but he or she hasn't
even enough courage to come out
into the open and sign their own
letter.
/ OF course, we will not publish
the letter. That would be unfair
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1941-01-16

because we are confident it is based
on an error in the mind of the writ
or. But we are public spirited
enough to show the letter to the
person against whom the complaint
was lodged. We are confident such
action will help to correct the trou-
BILE without any OF the hard -feel.
ing that would result ii we should
follow the course the anonymous
writer would have us do.
Nobody knows better than q news
paperman that it takes all sorts OF
people to make a world. And such
letters as this one is only added
proof of the truth of that old
saying.
Oh wad some power the giftie gle us
To see oursels as others see us!
1t wad frae monte blunder free us,
An foolish notion.

war-but they think II almost inpos-
sible to say where to draw the lins-
They insist that the only reason
the United States 3 not At war with
Germany today Is that Hitler does
not believe 1t to 0ermany's advan-
tAee to take that step.
There il no doubt in their minds
that q victorious Germany would
force this country inevitably to \
totslitarian basis on economics.
They believe the old system Of tn
ternational trade would be over. and
that even il the Americas were UNI
touched, the United States would

direction ably backs up the shrewd
producers selection Of play and
cast.
In speaking of the fortunate COM
bination of talents which has pro-
duced more hits than any other two
people who ever teamed up to fight
the battle of Broadway, Mr.. Pember.
ton has this to say:
When I started producing had
been brought up in the fashioned
Arthur Hopkins school of theater
enterprise, which called for one man
only to do the job.
I'm that tradition, the producer
was also press agent, front man,
stage director, accountant, flnancier
and everything else all rolled into
one. I simply didn't see the use
of farming out play to a director.
1t meant one more hand in the pie
and just that much more confusion
all round.
But then Miss Perry came along
and we did together a play by Max
we'll Anderson called White Desert"
and I began to see there was some
sense in having an expert director
who understood the technique of
staging my plays. This left me free
to look after the business routine
of production. Miss Perry is an
actress in her own right and a
forceful, dominant woman, ideally
suited to her job. Our arrange
ment Is simply this: am
the producer and assume the re-
sponsibility of selecting all play
scripts, while she, as the director,
undertakes to stage whatever
dramas I may feel have commercial
possibilities"
Mr.. Pemberton makes 1t sound
very simple, but at any rate it has
proved to be one of the most sue
cessful working formulas in show
business.
"Two-story House" entailed a diff
fcult casting job that took many
months before such Broadway IA
vorites as Frederic Tozere, Percy
Kilbride, Howard Freeman and
Janet Fox were tapped by the Penn
berton Office as being the perfect
counterparts of the assorted charac-
tiers who people the storm-bound
farmhouse in their play.
Those who saw the comedy in its
original summer theater try-out
(where it broke the house records)
predict that Mr.. Pemberton has
what may we'll prove to be his big
gest hit.

You won't hear gossip. But you'll

So, timber and trees and shrubpery
and flowers are a principal topic OF
