Margaret Bean, talented member
of the SpokeSman-Revie editorial
staff. appears to be concerned about
the moral standards of the Amer
lean people In last Sundays issue
of the Review, she asks what is
the matter with the American
people And in her pungent style,
she points out what has set her
to thinking.
She cites the smelly case of Rob
eTt Mitchum, who was recently con-
Victed on a narcotics charge. RKO.
who has Mitchum under contract,
rushed out one of his pictures when
this noisome case broke, fearing a
heavy loss when the public realized
how scandalous the affair was in
which Mitchum was involved. But
what was their surprise when the
picture cleared an extra S1000,000
because of the notoriety Mitchum
had gained from his narcotics mix
up.
Miss Bean also refers to Frank
Sinatra. convicted of having Sc
duced a young girl and proven to

Christians feel that there is abso-
lutely nothing which this world
might offer that may be compared
in value with the blessings which
Christianity offers. But there are
plenty of people in the world who
think otherwise Are Christians
really better off than unbelievers?
Is there a single relation of human
interest in which it does not pay
to be a Christian? Gods Word gives
the answer: Goodness is profitable
unto all things. having the promise

It pays to be a Christian as far
as our physical well-being is con-
cerned. It pays to be a Christian
as far as our dealing with our fell
low-men are concerned. And when
it comes to adversely, it surely pays

It was held jointly with the depart
ment of agriculture, which includes
the forest service.
Some agreement was indicated
between the engineers and the
forest service after the l948 hear
ings. An army map showed Libby
dam backing water a short distance
up Fisher river The subbasin map
in 1903" shows back-water about
7l2 miles up Fisher river, which is
closer to the foresters' estimate.
Water also would be backed up
Kootenay river to Wardner, B. c.,
and up Tobacco river to the out
skirts of Eureka, Mont. seven miles
from the Kootenay.

The small rail communities of
Jennings, Warland, Valcour, Ural,

dividuals. It's the last recourse for
man who thinks he has been
wronped. There is no higher court
How important it then is that the
men constituting that court shall be
absolutely impartial and wholly
unaffected by outside pressures and
personal ambitions. It's almost i'm
possible for a man who is looking
for further political honors to keep
his judgments unswayed by that
ambition. There is always sus-
picjon in the minds of the public
that supreme court judge so
situated is letting his ambition color
his judgments.
Let's move at once to restore our
supreme court to the high position
il once held in public esteem. 1t
should and must be above suspicion.
That is impossible when the judges
of that high court are receptive
to election to other public office.

One plan would be to cross
Kootenay river with the railroad
at Stonehill, the mouth of Big
creek, and run the line down tbs
northwest bank to Libby
An alternate possibility is a line
from Stryker, up Fortine creek and
down Wolf creek to the head of the
Fisher river backwater, thence
along the south bank to Libby
The state road along Kootenay
river between Rexford and Libby
would be abandoned and a new
road built over the pass between
Big and Pipe creeks. This would
take the highway away from Rainy
creek, on which the important
vermiculite mine of Zonolite COM
pany is situated.
Principal objectors at 1948 hear
ings to Libby dam were Zonohte
company and J. Neils Lumber com
pany, whose plans for a sustained
yield program in the Fisher river
watershed would have to be altered.

A protest should arise through
out the nation against a practice
in high places that has become too
common. We refer to the habit of
pulling men off the supreme court
of the United States to give them
other work, or to groom them as
presidential candidates. Much IS
being said these days about run
ming Douglass of the supreme court
as the Democratic candidate for
president in 1852. 1t is said he is
receptive to the idea And it has
been charged that he has already
delivered speeches before certain
pressure groups flattering them in
hore of future favors.
II used to be that when a man
accepted appointment to the su-
preme court of the United States
it was for life and was the end of
political ambition for him. 1t was
considered one of the highest, if not
the highest honor, the nation could
accord man. And it was pre-

A popular magazine carried dis
