Thorstein Veblen was a great scho-
lar and teacher. He was one of the
foremost students of the changing
American scene, particularly eager to
point out how the growth and change
in business methods and advancement
in technical skill were forcing changes
in our mental outlook and ways Of
living.
Once on his return from visit to
Norway hit showed us pictures of some
of that country's many deep, narrow
valleys, separated from each other by
high, steep mountains making the vii
lagos as remote and foreign to each
other as if they were in different
countries hundreds of miles apart. He
told us how in olden days there were,
as between the villages, differences
in dress, customs, dialect, and habits
Often there were tense antagonisms
that broke out into local fights as the
men gathered on top of the divide to
have it out.
But now (about 1902 the doctor
had driven from the village of his
fathers to the next valley over what
was once an almost impossible noun
tain range. The road was smooth, of
fairly even grade, and, according to
the time, thoroughly up to date.
On top of the divide, the tourists
stopped to view the little open spot

the process of electing our Presi-

Below we present the first Install

George Washington, our first Presi-
dent, was inaugurated on April 30,
1888. Since our government began,
81 men have served as President.
The presidential term is four years,
and begins on January goth Of the
year following the election. Eleven
Presidents have been reelected. Nine
Presidents served as Vice Presidents
before becoming President = five of
them were elected to the Presidency,
the others succeeding because of the
death of the President; only two were
reelected to the Presidency.
The Constitution of the United
States of America, as adopted by the
Constitutional convention and ratified

The Montana Licensed Liquor Deal

The declaration of non-participation
issued by the Licensed Liquor Deal

spread reports that the liquor deal
ers' are lining up as a political group.
There is no way of Identifying who
organizes all these phantom clubs in
election years. So far as we know

not because the literature it circulates
is partisan, it is not because of whom

the officers of this association feel
that the taverns are governed by stat
ute, not by political promises, and the
best that could happen would be to
probably make enemies by going on
record as an organization in polit-
ical fight where, so far as we can
discern, it is strictly a matter for the
individual tavern owner to ascertain
and determine what gubernatorial
candidate would dictate most fairly
the administration of the liquor con-
troll board
Briefly, this association, and so
far as we know, none of its officers,
are lending their names, overly or
covertly, to authorship of any political
literature designed to involve this as
sociation, one way or another. Read
and hear and believe any reports you
wish, vote as you please, but this or
ganization will continue as a trade
organization pure and simple, and will
not commit suicide by getting mixed

No. 1 flax is today $3.50 per bushel.

1t may be argued that these are
