FRIDAY. . .IMUIRUARY 23, 1966 GROWING IN POPULARITY. IT whs n very clever scheme of the railroads of this country to give birth to the slogan "bee America Pirst" because nil over America the newspapers have nicked it til mid coined column after column of gush from it. The dwiired end is a liio.st cx cellcnt one to gain: but why should the newspapers do all the work am the railroads leap all llic rewards The railronds of this great north west do not have the same oticn policy possessed by their brethren of the cast: nor do the papers here acting til)on the .selfish precedent o the raihoads, have any sincere love for the roads. When the railronds of the north west tilirstte the same liberal policy adopted in all civilized communities the uewsiiatiers will do more than their share of urging jwople to "Sec America Mint." Were it not for the country press thousands o localities would fail to be brought into prominence: and it is to th wiiue country ptus all railroad should enter. HANG TO RUTS. Till.

This is really lament able. Any one with 110 nunc am billon than to iImj nbovca clerkshii in one of the huge tieadmills at the nation s capital is of hut little use to himself and the test of the world While a position with Uncle Sam is supposed to be a "snap," it one of the most trying and exacting that can be imauiued. A man is ineiely a cog in the machine, and 11 Doudeious machine at tliat. Am your Uncle Samuel is one of the hatdest, and we might say. one 1 the most vicious, ltosse.s in the world.

THK ONI.Y WAY. MONTANA politicians certainh know how to do things and do tiieni tignt. une of them is uying all the e.Nenses ot 75 newspajier men of that state for a tound-tiip excursion to l.os Angelas- and it may le a surehing guass he'll lose nothing by it. Oregon politicians? Well? f AWFUL. IPy.a-c.h-t spells "yot" whucht a lacht of hacht shackt would racht on thespacht during a campaign by those who could nacht spill GUSHING GUSH. HVHN in this democratic country it is cstimnted that fully five hundred thousand columns of stuff have been printed about a mere wedding. Frankly speaking it is two-thirds rot and the other third is maudlin idiocy. Just as good couples arc married every day and a dozen lines tell the story of each. Alice Roosevelt happened to have a father who is as truly a ruler of America as this great country has ever enjoyed while Nicholas Longworth was sufficiently lucky to gain her as a wife. Farther than these two facts there is nothing about the jierson ality of either of the couple to make them better, grander, or greater than the thousands who are con tinually entering upon a like part nership. The American people ton certain extent delight to gush over any thing in society circles: and in order to satisfy this yearning column after column is written. When one stops and calmly considers the case he wonders why so much comment is made upon a simple marriage. Why all this balderdash over an affair which resulted from two people being stuck 011 each other! America, as n nation, is getting tired of grand-stand plays. PISACli, GKNTLK PKACK. A LL the rough houses are not among oliticiaiis und papers. In Chicago Sunday a mob drove a priest from his sanctuary, one man was killed and many injured, and a special detail of police had to pro tect the man. This riot was started by women.

At the adjourned meeting of the council Wednesday evening there was a luck of excitement. Mayor King was in the chair and only Councilman I.eggett and Uudquist were absent. Hills to the amount of $22 were audited and ordered paid. The Miner note, amounting with interest to $449.50, wns reported paid. Deputy-recorder Downs made his declaration of principles: it was either $too per month for him or "Goodbye, Annie, I Must Leave You," for him. He had set his stake and wouldn't backdown. It was the general idea that $100 was too much especially as there was still $40 per month going to Re corder Hanks. A projKjsition was received from Otis Learned and another from Klmer Hutiuu: both agreed to .lak the iob at $60. A Mr. Churchi consented to take the place at $40 but after discussing the thing ot some length it was made apparent Hint t he council did not anno hit .Mr, Downs as deputy nor could it accept his resignation. Attorney Greene offered to do the work free until Recorder Hanks was able to work. It was finally moved that Re corder Hanka ba notified to have u deputy for business Thursday morning.
