And always it came to me: from
what is derived mercy, compassion,
pity, charity, love? Can men be free
without God?
To understand my own necessity
for God, I read and studied the
enemy. I devoted myself to every
biologic and physical evidence Of
the futility of the supernatural. But
it did not do in the realm of mans
relationship to man. For the most
that Karl Marx could establish was
that those men and those things
survived which struggled hardest in
suitable environment to survive
Yet, I also witnessed the elevation
of the spirit of love daily in the
works of compassionate men who
lived in freedom.
In my own country, the United
States, knew freedom. I also knew
God. OF course, any human society
has faults-but I could say in 1881
in the depth of the depression, that
I could find no condition of life in
America, material or spiritual, that
was as unfavorable. as that to which
I had for IA years become ac-
customed in Russia and Asia.

Home Nursing Course
Nav Start Next Week
For Civil Defense Here

There is more to be done than
was previously thought necessary in
the civil defense program and
especially in the training program,
said Mrs Robert Boochever at the
second organizational meeting of
the graduate and registered nurses
last night.
Nurses are to teach home nurs-
ing and nurses aide courses" Mrs.
Boochever said. She announced that
Mother Superior Henrietta of St.
AIMS hospital is chairman Of the
home nursing program and Mrs.
Tom Dyer is chairman of the nurses
aide program. Those nurses inte-
rested are to take the Red Cross
first aid course.
Miss Florence Ullrich OF the Ma
tional Red Cross nursing division
spoke at the meeting. "A part of the
Red Cross program is to help in
the promotion of our educational
program to eliminate suffering. The
home nursing program is part of
the overall program" she said.
The Red Cross home nursing pro-
gram has been continuous since
its beginning in 1914, according to
Miss Ullrich. 1T is an important
phase of the civil defense. The Ma
tional Security Resources Board and
the national civil defense made the
Red Cross responsible for the train
ing of first aid people and nurses
in case of emergency" she said.
Thirty hours of training are neces-
sary in the home nursing course
for instructors who will teach the
course and for those who take the
course from the instructors. 1t is
hoped that the instructors course
can be started next week. Ten of
the nurses al. the meeting signified
that they would take the course
during the next three weeks to be-
come instructors.

In addition to the mental disabil-
ity found to be present by the U. s..
Navy closer examination of the boys
background made it seem incredible
that we could take his life.
The argument most frequently
advanced in favor of hanging this
boy has been that our prison system
and our state sanitarium are both
a "fate worse than DEATH" There
is also the fact that our laws are
so unsatisfactory and our facilities
so poor that we have no alternative
except to kill young fellows like 49,
year-old Frank Dryman. Older men
can be put in prison and kept until
they are so old they wither away,
but young men we must kill, be-
cause they might be paroled. Be-
cause of our insufficiencies as state
we will continue to deal with social
problems by the process of elimina-
ton. These points no doubt figured
strongly in the consideration of Glenn
ency, they no doubt took precedent
over the mitigating" circumstances
surrounding the boys life and his
mental disability. Why little more
time could not have been granted
in the way of stay of execution
to present this newly acquired evil
dence in court is hard to imagine
From the political standpoint the
decision was not difficult. The boy
is from another state, a transient,
he represents no constituents, and

One of the firmest stands taken
by the state administration was an
nounced Thursday afternoon from
Bozeman, when the Governor re-
leased his answer to Attorney Will
liam M. Black of Shelby, the state
appointed attorney defending Frank
Dryman, 19-year-old confessed kill
er sentenced to hang next Friday.
The Governor refused stay of ex-
ecution which would allow Mr..
Black more time for preparation of
appeals through the courts, and he
refused clemency.
Those who interested themselves
in the case after the hasty trial
at the time of sentencing were dis
appointed when they heard the cur
sorry dismissal of the case the second
time.
Shortly after the Governors first
refusal, information was received
by telegram which left little doubt
that firm grounds for clemency exist.

CONTRACT NO. 179r-1838 is concerned solely
with the wheeling of power to be developed at Canyon
Ferry DAM Helena. This agreement runs to
Dec. 81 1875 but may be terminated by either
party by less than three years notice to the other
party.
This contract is shorter, simple and decided
y less evasve to what it does and mean Its
basic idea is to eliminate publicly owned transmits
sion line between Canyon Ferry and Great Falls.
Appropriations for the line had been made and
rangements for its construction under way
Now the new contract provided for the wheeling of
all power that will be generated at Canyon Ferry
over two kilo-volt Montana Power Co., transmission
lines between East Helena and Great Falls.
The contract does not specifically say, mean,
that all energy developed at Canyon Ferry will
tuay be transmitted the approximately 100
miles of Power Company lines described above. The
contract provision is that Montana Power Co., will
accept delivery from the u S. of quantities of energy
up to the generator capabilities of Canyon Ferry. The
current that from Canyon Ferry will actually
enter Montana Power Co. transmission system at
either East Helena some point along their lines
nearer to Canyon Ferry. Other current come
from Fl. Peck, via government line and enter Mon
tana Power Co. transmission system at Rainbow Dam
in Great Falls as described in last weeks article.
THE SPECIFIC PROVISION is that u. S. will fur
nish power and energy to Montana Power at a NOM
inal delivery voltage of 100000 volts at Rainbow
Dam swtchyard, Great Falls. at point of inter
connection of the two systems near East Helena
at such other intermediate point the power
pany system the U. S. may designate The
tract then says:
'The electric power and energy will be fur
nished and delivered to the Contractors montana
Power Coz in such amounts and at such rates of
delivery as are from time to time required by
the United States and/or it's customers, nclud-
ing losses in transmission equal to five per cent
$50 of the power and energy delivered by the
Contractor. Deliveries by the United States to
the Contractor hereunder will be made simultane-
ously with deliveries by the Contractor to the
United States and/or it's customers here

&&A
Last fall during the heat of the
1850 legislative campaign two sup
porters of the Republican candidates
for the legislature published a full
page ad in the Judith Basin County
Press which pointedly inferred that
Senator George McKenna, Represent
alive J. Harry Wilson, Montana Flu
Pres. Don Chapman and MFU Vice
Pres. Dick Shipman were in league
with " socialistic-cOmmunistic
element that is working for the over
throw of these things we hold
dear :"
The adv, placed in the final issue
of that weekly before the election
also went on to assert that g. this
socialistic-communistic element has
control of the Democratic party in
Montana :" and concluded by
asking that the voters of Judith
Basin county vote for 8. candidates
who can be depended upon to resist
any further advance toward social
ism or communism :" The voters
of that county were apparently unim-
pressed because Mr. McKenna defeat |
ed the Republican incumbent for the
state senate and Mr.. Wilson was re-
elected to the house.
Though the voters were unim-
pressed, members of the Judith
Basin County Farmers Union OBJ
jected strongly to the content of the
ad and the new Glow" hit in po-
litical campaigning in their county.
Legal action, both state and federal,
was considered, and a visit was paid
to the publishers office.
Outcome of it all came on April
10 when the Judith Basin publisher
inserted full-page apology for hav-
ing permitted publication of the de-
famatory advertisement.
Under the heading "To the Resi-
dents of Judith Basin County," that
editor published the names of the
two people who had inserted the
election ad, disclaimed having any
brief for or against the Democratic
Party in Montana -; stated that
ne knows both Mr. McKenna and
Mr. Wilson as Outstanding citizens
=. whose character, patriotism and !
qualities of citizenship are above
'eproach -, and as regards Mr.. i
Chapman and Mr.. Shipman, stated: t
81 am reliably informed that Don ]
Chapman, longtime farmer in Dan t
els county, is an overseas veteran I
# World War |, has served several
essions in both houses of the Mon
ana legislature :" has g. served L
n an advisory capacity on several S
tate commissions and agencies :"
nd {" is considered by his neigh n
ors and associates as man of high g
integrity who can be placed in po- a
itions of trust and whose loyalty
annot be questioned ;" .
AS to Mr.. Shipman the weekly Il
ublisher stated: 'Dick Shipman
rancher in Fergus County, is an W
citizen of the community 8
/ which he has resided for nearly {
venty years :" he {" and his Fl
amily are very active in the social n
nd civic affairs in their home COM @

est of my knowledge, Mr.. Shipman's

of power delivered by Montana Power Co.. to Gus
toners of Uncle Sammy said Uncle will pay in cash
$3,7500O per month ($45 900 per year, for said
wheeling service. Cash payment starts the day
that initial service is begun No discount is pro-
vided for the time required to build up from initial
maximum service. Assuming initial service to be as
late Dec. 81. 1866, the contract will still have 20
years to and furnish Montana Power Co, with
100000 rental on less than 100 miles of lines. 1t
seems to be sufficiently generous.
CLEARLY ENOUGH THE u S. gets use of Mon
tana Power Co.. two transmission line system be-
East Helena and Great Falls to the extent that
the u S. has customers along said route. "It is
derstood and agreed, however, that Contractor shall
not be obligated to install any additional facilities
and that all connections to Contractors transmission
system shall be made at the expense of the United
States"
Two features of this contract plus the general
wheeling contract described last week excite my
curiosity
A. 1 suspect that little of the energy generated
at Canyon Ferry will flow along the line from East
Helena to Great Falls Montana Power Co., will get
delivery of all Canyon Ferry juice for which the
U. S. has a market at either East Helena or some
point nearer Canyon Ferry and use said energy
to supply it's and few government customers
in southern Montana. Then out of it's power
production in Great Falls and vicinity, or possibly
out of current purchased from Ft. Peck at 2 II mills
per kwhr under contract effective since 1914
it will supply the government customers that
to be supplied from the Great Falls end of the line
B. Clearly under this contract Uncle Sammy
deliver power to any class of customer he may
develop along this leased line and to the extent that
line losses do not become prohibitve along his own
lines that cover part of northern Montana. Be-
yond this he must rely the general wheeling
tract with Montana Power Co., which is limited to
three general classes of power and does not
furnish transportation to the great bulk of power that
is in demand and use.
1t appears to that $4,000 per year is
pretty fair price to pay for getting into and then
remaining in a where Uncle Sammy
develop lot of power and then can't get
it out to the customers that mig build Montana
into semblance of n industrial state.
