Summer Invites You

noticed? At his feet there was
clover bloom with pink crown;
there. on the nearby hill, was
a company Of tall. evergreen
pines, each tree a bugle for the
morning wind to try his
breath on. And there was q
butterfly with gorgeous gar
ments, poised as on quivering
sea Of sapphire, and then
making a perfect landing on a
nodding daisy head. And there
went an ant across the grass.
And the observer pondered
what Darwin said; 1.-THE brain
Of an ant represents the most
marvellous speck Of matter in
the universe.
And then there was the tree
under which our home vaca-
zionist was sitting. He saw
things and heard things not in
any botanical textbook. Said
a lover Of nature: Whatever
you do. be sure to lie down
under your favorite tree-that
is. II you want q tree to recite
all its poetry Of bloom. fra

And all this was but the OPEN

Was 1t any wonder that the
one who followed the sugges-
ton Of the seer Of old. HE
maketh me to lie down." was
soon singing In his restored
soul a morning hymn. This
is my Fathers world?" And
the vision splendid came to
MIN all within sight Of his own
front door. So summer Is an
invitation to see. It is an an
vitation to quit scheming and
begin dreaming. Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe. who wrote q
great book and great hymn,
and who was a militant fighter
against evil. has given us the
invitation. in exquisite verses.
Her poem might well be called
Summer Invites You:

Each time Of the year has
its special delights, for one
season differs from another
season in glory. There Is one
glory Of the fall, another glory
Of the winter, another Of the
spring. and yet another glory
Of the summer. In these lines
we sing Of the summer whose
waiting glories ravish the eye
and take captive the senses.
Whatever the compensations
for summer under alien skies
may be, there are hours when
in each patriots heart steals
unbidden the longing, 20 to
be in America now it's August
there" To those whose sum-
iner Is earmarked for the
homeland. in these paragraphs
there is wrapped an invitation
to make these golden weeks a
gateway into a place Of en-
chantment which no distant
tour can surpass.
Shall we first remind sum-
mer stay-at-homes that the
Great Galilean was never a
traveller; He never left His
tiny land. And is it not signifi-
cant that the ministry Of Jesus
is so vibrant and verdant with
the sights and sounds Of sum-
mer? On the screen Of His
teaching the other times Of
the year are largely ignored.
In the record of those match
less three years Of earthly
ministry. the fields are decked
with bright flowers and birds
are singing in the trees; there
is the smell Of the good
earth; harvests are growing.
farmers are toiling in the
fields and sewers are going
forth to SOW. Among His dis
ciples there is the aroma Of
out-of-door camaraderie, as
dusty. sun-drenched roads In
vite to leisurely journeyings.
There are glimpses Of the lake
sparkling in the sunlight. and
there are boats and the scent
of fish. and children playing
in the streets. Jesus exhorted
His tense followers to get away
from the crowds. to somehow
go apart and rest awhile. And
always the Great Teacher
practiced that pattern Of de-
votion himself. as He slipped
away In the early morning and
in the twilight to the solitude
Of some high and leafy tryst-
ing place which to His soul
was like green pastures and
still waters. And so. in the
dear name Of Him whose in
ner kinships matched the sum-
mertime, we dare to issue an
invitation to discern the glory
in what may be as near as our
eyes and hands and feet.
What one will really see in
foreign" parts depends to a
large degree upon what has
been seen and felt at home. II
one is blind to the marvels
of his own back yard the mere
widening Of the circumference

the President has taken a hand
In the puzzling game and has
decided that the Japanese are
to be first received at Oyster
Bay in order that he may
perhaps persuade them to Of
fer a moderate proposal to
Russia. :" On August 6,
1905, The Star reported this
solution to the problem of the
luncheon: In order that no
questions of precedence should
arise 1t was determined that
the luncheon should be a
buffet function. In this way
was avoided the necessity of
seating the ENJOYS at table
with the President" The prob
'em Of who should be received
1rst was solved when the
japanese arrived first.
In Seventh Place
The Washington baseball
cam was in seventh place in
1905, but an editorial writer,
in The Star of August 5 that
year, found a ray of light in
the prowess of Charles Jones,
center fielder. After the Mats
had beaten the Chicago White
Sox. 6-5. The Star commented:
Yesterday Mr.. Charles Jones
galvanized his admirers into a
state of frantic hero worship.
He not only went through his
specialties in his usual form.
but he hit the ball. He smashed
it. He larruped it. He pasted
it to the scoreboard. out OF
reach. on the nose, on the
ground, in the air, all over the
lot. And of course he worked
his hits to the limit when he
got on base. He was the whole
game, with able assistance.
And when one of the 81
varieties of Windy City
pitchers, wary Of giving that
wicked wielder Of the willow
too fair a swat at the sphere.
grazed his forehead, a roar Of
Indignation arose from the
throng. 1t was like commit
ting assault upon every indi-
vidual present" The box score
Of the game lists three hits for
Mr.. Jones-the last one win
ming the game.

''One after another competitor

OF course the bosses who
control these gigantic unions.
now combined as never before,
WELD q great political influ-
ence. They also control
literally billions of dollars and
the CLIO has been indicted re-
Gently for violation of the cor
rupt practices act In Michigan.
For years they have been domi-
nant In the Democratic Party
and Democratic national can
.didates have been compelled to
clear" themselves with the
bosses before nomination. One
striking example Of this was
afforded by ex-President Tru-
man who was compelled to call
upon the CLIO and AFL
bosses at their hotel before he
was allowed to be nominated
for the vice presidency in
1914. Another example is az
forded by Senator Barley Of
Kentucky, who says he left
for the last Democratic con-
vention assured Of White House
support for the presidential
nomination only to find when
he reached Chicago that his
White House support had evap-
Grated because the labor bosses
said he was 'too old" Many
other instances could be cited
for lesser of1lces.
Soon or late the people of
this country will have to face
the facts about these unions
and their political power. The
alternative is to let them run
the country, dominate local
and State as well as national
government. This, of course,
the people do not want. Not
even a majority of union mem
bers want it-even when their
bosses are united. The late
Senator Taft showed this in
Ohio In 1850 and President
Eisenhower showed it in the
Nation in 1852. They can be
beaten but they remain strong
enough to keep the Taft
Hartley Act, which they de-
nounce as q slave labor law"
from being amended as was
promised by the Republicans
in the last campaign. Some
day perhaps we will have a
Congress, plus a national senti-
ment. that will force protective
action for union labor In all its
legitimate rights but also pro-
tect industry from the squeeze
play" and the public from pay
ing the bill in taxes and higher
living costs.

A Ticklish Problem

The State Department faced
a ticklish problem in August
so years ago. Russian and
japanese peace ENJOYS were
to arrive to open discussions
on q treaty to end their war.
and the United States was In
its role as peacemaker. But
questions Of protocol came up
and The Star commented edi-
torially on August 4, 1905:
More Americans are likely to
be somewhat puzzled by the
worries Of those who are off,
cially charged with the re-
ception and entertainment of
the Japanese and Russian
peace ENJOYS at Oyster Bay
and Portsmouth over ques-
tions Of precedence. 1t is diff
ficult for the Western mind
to assimilate the niceties and
subleties Of diplomatic rank
and to appreciate the jealousy
of distinguished foreigners for
their exact proportion Of dis
tinction. Shall the President
receive the Russians first be-
cause they are represented In
the United States by an am
bassador rather than by a
mere minister? Or shall he
receive the Japanese first be-
cause they are the dominant
force in the present war,
which the Portsmouth confer
ence is called to close? At
luncheon, to be given to the
ENJOYS on board the Presi-
dents yacht, shall q Russian
or q Japanese be seated at the

anese be escorted first to

Building a Landmark

reported: "For the past few
weeks work on the new union
railroad terminal has been
progressing with considerable
rapidity. The progress on the
granite station itself has been
so great that the outlines of
the structure have begun to
be distinguishable In stone.
The arched entrances facing
the Capitol and overlooking
the plaza are partially COM
pleted and stone has risen on
the east side Of the building
as high as the top of the first
story. An interesting feature
of the work to all observers is
that it is going on everywhere
at once and with the most ap-
parent harmony. While the
grade upon which the station
is to stand is not yet filled in
and the level Of the first floor
of the structure is still high
above the surrounding ground.
yet the foundation has been
built. ironwork has been con-
structed to a height Of five
stories. and in the extreme
southeastern corner Of the
building a portion Of the tiled
brick interior has been I'm
ished. Like young shoots in a
garden, growing under the In
f1uence Of the sun and the
rain, the various features of
the great terminal work are
rising from the ground IN all
sides and poisoning out. as
it were. into a magnificent
completeness"

Dear Miss Condor:
This morning I was delighted to read
your letter -ofOctober 4. I have made

system of Montana in the last 40 years

School Trustee of District No. in Silver
Bow county. / did more work of a pub
lie nature in that three years than /
have ever done before or since. I had
an uphill job. The chairman of the
board was illiterate.
But in spite of the drawback of such Il
chairman and some equally unlettered
members constituting a majority, the
minority lead yrlyself, spent 100000
placing our schools in as good sanitary
condition as prophy1actic art and know
ledge then in our country suggested. We
paid as we went, we issued no bonds.

our high school against serious opposi-
ton. This was so popular that 200 stu

following year. I caused the employment
of three distinguished educators to

system and then against vigorous OPP
position got most of their recommends

satisfaction was great when some
months later the Russell Sage Founda-
ton sent a committee to examine all
of the public school systems under the
American Flag. They reported that
the Butte school system was the best.
Thus perhaps, I am entitled to speak
about educat ton.
/ am glad that it geography is
taught in grade schools, but pupil in
a grade school is not of sufficient age
to learn enough about the facts of ge-
ography and is certainly not of suffi-
-cient mental discrimination to ponder
the philosophy and other great mental
theorems learned from the study of ge-
ography in it's lingual, racial, economic,
climatic, geologic, and other phases
The purpose of any ideas that I pub
lish nowadays is mostly to stimulate
thought and investigation among the
people of this great state so dear to me.

Whether its benefits to Montana citi-
liens are any greater than the old dam
is highly debatable. Anyhow, Mr.. Ken
field is opposed to such benefits No
body forced the Government to build
Canyon Ferry and it is not the fault of
Montana Power that they are the only
customers The Government knew that
when they stole the dam to begin with.
Mr.. Kenfield asks, How much does
the federal dam help the power com
pany's six downstream dams?" The ans
wer is simple and easy. 1t is about half
as much as the Companys Hebgen Dam
adjacent to Yellowstone Park, helps the
federal dam at Canyon Ferry
Consider the three dams, the Kerr,
Thompson Falls and Cabinet Gorge. Due
to their storage they increase power
production at Grand Coulee and the half
dozen Government dams below it, fully
twice as much as Hungry Horse in
creases private power Pretty sweet
subsidy for miscalled Cheap Govern
ment Power.

Statewide Benefits Or
Special Privilege

First of all, may | satisfy Mr. Leon
ard Kenfield's curiosity by stating that
my authority for distribution of Can
yon Ferry power was the testimony at
a Senatorial hearing of Charles A. Rob-
inson, Staff Engineer of the National
REA
Mr.. Kenfie1d seems to be unduly dis
turbed because of what he calls the
unusual benefits that Montana Power
gets from Canyon Ferry. They are no
greater than Montana Power got from
it's own dam before the Government
confiscated and destroyed it without
compensation. 1t has always been my
impression that public power projects
were for the benefit of anybody and
everybody, and not solely for the spe-
cia1 privileged non-taxpaying groups.
Since Montana Power serves either d.
rectly or indirectly, more than 80 per
cent of all Montana's population, what
is wrong with passing the benefits
around Montana Power customers are
not complaining. Their rates have been
reduced more than 65 per cent in the
last 90 years.. What is Mr.. Kenf1eld
kicking about? Does he want the Com
pany to, charge the REAs more for
their power, @4 Br
Around the year 1900 or before, Mon
tanag Power built a dam and power
plant at Canyon Ferry costing millions
of dollars. Naturally, it had to charge

fray the cost in that time and pay divi-
dends on the investment. At the. end
of the s50-year period, for which the
permit was aSres-f teAsAa construct the

I'm a recent year, according
to a Small Business COMMITTEES
of Congress, about 35, 900 Co
operatives were doing business
IN this country. During this
same year, there were IS, 900
other organizations which did
not call themselves coopera-
tives but which operated on a
basis of service to theirmembers,
much like our co-ops do.
@Among these were groups of
grocery, hardware and clothing
stores. By pooling the buying
power of hundreds of stores
they make savings which are
passed on to the member stores,
helping them meet competition
through higher quality mer-
chandise at more favorable
prices.
These buying groups oper-
ate much like co-ops and benefit
their members in the same way.
The big difference is that pa
irons of a coop are the actual
users of the supplies and serv-
ices they buy"
