-ORDER. HIGH IX IDEALS';
; "The Modern Woodmen of America
stand for the Very highest ideals of
American citizenship," he continued.
"The greatest title ever conferred on
mortal man is uhquestiofcably Ameri
can citizenship. It- means- mort for
human progress Sod human better
;inent than any other title ever con--'ferred
at any. other time in human
i mstory. America . is essentially the
land -of the free and. designed to be
a government by and in the interests
of the masses. The idea that people
-could thiiik for .ttoenoselves and make
their own laws is. of 'recent growth,'
iwfcwi we consider the entire length of
human history, tiut 150 years -ago
our forefathers said that no one was
. born with special rights to ' rule or
' govern, but that the right to rule and
'govern should be given by those who
-are governed. Prior A the birth of
America, all-society was governed by
! those who claimed certain special privi
leges by reason of birth.
i j"As" a necessary auxiliary ifo free'
' government came fraternal, orders, for
as soon as men were free to think
: politically4 the natural -tendency for
brotherly -fov-q began to manifest- itself
in AVnerica in the formfation of ffa
j. trrnal orders and America became, un
iler the working out of hr free iristi--;,
tutions, the. home of great fraternal
; orders like the Masons and Odd Fel
i.",lows grand . iiici noble orders that
j have dgne and are doing a mighty
i wprk in 'thecivilization. of -man. ,-
. UROWTH IS DESCBIBED" '
, "About, half a . century ago there
commence the organization of benefit
fraternal orders, wherein the member
not only received all the benefits of
the old fraternal orders, but could feel
assured that when the bell rangJ for
j him ample care would be given to his
j loved ones, and- a stipulated sum of
I money would, 'be paid to them,, for
their 'care and; sustenance. .,
i "Forty years ago " this rderv the
; Modern Woodrftein 'b'f.? America, "was

'f'Jey. In these.. brief two score years it
i has shown a - marvelous growth, until

Aprdpos of the Penrose method of

of tbi $200,n00 cash fund which was
discovered in a safety deposit, vault

or( dispensing checks in campaign work

of cash, mustUe kept pn hand te meet
the exigencies of-party warfare In

.The Republican organization is not
single entity any more. I It is com

been united. Brother Pinchot woul
not have run away with the field, in

gained 4 for him the designation of
"Bishop of All XJutdoors" Indians,
cowmen, women of "ths" plalps and
homesteaders alike ' shared - his confi
dence and they tacked the unusual
eognomeif-to him because hi service
always has been for them and because
he always fought for. their rights to the
very, last ditch. He was the friend of
everyone who needed a friend and
cared : little . far matters that would
seem to reflect to his 'reputation ' if
what he was- doing promised to do
someone, else some good.
WOULD FIGHT GXSOt
Once he challenged a gatig who had
ben denouncing the, church to a free-for-all
fight, warning them that he
would give them "the damnest . licking
of their 41fe."' This made such a hit
.with the men that they declined the
challenge. 1 Her invited them to come to
his charhand. they said they would il
he "would tellvthsm where ia:hell his
r church was," . ' .: y
u It was his constant prayer that "the
good Lord keepftie from becominga
frump or a pious nonenity."- In Havre,
Ua-sroau community, he built' one oi
tne finest granite cnurcnes in , the en
tire Northwest. . In December, 1920.
before it was. formally opened he had
it utilized for the funeral of Long
George Francis, an old' time cowboy,
known from the Canadian to the Mex
icap border, who later turned cow rust

fugitive from Justice. v
-. Dr. Christler was a friend, of the late
James J. . Hill, the "Empire Builder
and of Joan D. Ryan, head of the Ana
conda Copper company, as well as of
the otheY great figures of the Montana
country. At the request of Louis Hilt,
tha' '"tjishop of All Outdoors" made a

active in politics and, served one term
in tle state legislature. Always dra
matic in the extreme he presented an
Impressive appearance and his death
was not much, more sensational than
others episodes in his; career since he
came to the West.

Satisfied there was no mystery in
the shooting, inasmuch as the pistol
was Still-clutched In the bands of the
murderess when Mrs. Chrisler and oth
ers reached- their "prostrate forms, the
sheriff and coroner have decided that

STOUT OF DUAL KILLISOi
Havre, Mont, Oct 28. Mrs. Leonard
Jacob Christler today told the story of
how her' husband, .Episcopal rector
known as the '"bishop f all outdoors,"
was shot and killed by Mrs. Margaret
Carleton, .who then committed feuicide.
The three ?of them the nfinister,
Mrs. Christler and Mrs. Carlet&n, who
was he wife of a former district judge
weresitting talking in the parlor of
the rectory early Priday morning. Mrs
Christler declared she. had a premoni
tion of trouble and that she watched
Mrs, Carletonclcely during the visit
Finally, the latter . announced she
would start for. htime. 11 Mrs. Christier's
attention was distracted for the mo

ing was done was a large, jaeavy call

and it has not-yet een ascertained
where she obtained the or revolver.

Townfolks today were reviewing in

tragedy.
Frequently of late, it was recalled
today, the "bishop of all outdoors," a
term of affection given the reotor of
St Marks Episcopal church because
of the wide field, of his missionary ef
forts., and Mrs. Carleton t walked to
gether pn the streets, but few thought
anything of it. ! - . ! ,
It now appears, according to the
generally acepted theory, that j what
appeared but a platonic friendship- of
pastor, and communicant was aj real
affection ajnd a possible ending of it by
the clergyman may have brought on
.the double snootiBg. , . i
x Rumor has it that Mrs Carleton's
intimate friends knew her to be an in
tensely jealous woman. -
Acqrding to the belief of many, the
pastor, realising. what the affection of
Mrs. Carleton might lead to, endeav
ored to halt it The. result, acordhig to
this theory, was tlie .murder pud sui

EHIEJ5D OF CHBISTLER.. . ; r
i HOLDS HIM BLAMEEBS
That the..'slain Rev. Leohard J.
Christler was absolutely blameless In
any situation that may have brought
about his death at the hands of - Mrs.;
Margaret' Carleton at Havre. Mont.,:
Friday, is the emphatic- opinion of
Daniel R. Conway of Portland, who
was" a close personal friend of the
Episcopal rector.
Conway, former publisher of the
Havre Promoter and . active in Cham
ber Jot Commerce work in Montana,
way closely associated with, the rector
socially as wjell as in his work.! and
at one time j during 8?n illness the
clergyman edited Cpnway's pape(- for
two weeks, j
"The Rev. Mjr. Christler was a won
derful man arid I am morally positive
that he; was blameless," Conway: told
The Journal (today. . "The very ; fact
that the bishop of Montana ha8 Investi
gated stories in which the names of
the rectpr arid Mrs. Carleton were
linked and absolved him substantiates
my own -opinion. - I 4
"It appears jto me,'; although have
been- away frjom Havre, nearly ;' two
years, that this Is the grim , result of
a case of Infatuation on Mrs. Carle
ton's part : i
"The minister was a strikingly hand
some man of about 48 years, possessed
a magnetic personality and was favor
ably known and loved all over Mon
tana. To my knowledge the domestic
relations in tie rectory were? excel
lent t have been told, however, ithat
Carleton and ls wife had separated
since I left Havre. Carleton, also a
personal friend! of mine, and his beau
tiful wife were japparentfy happy when
I" knew them, j :
"But, the Re-k Mr. Christler was a
man to attract attention In any- com
pany, and I dare say that, an Infatua
tion in the development of which, he
was blameless brought about this trag
edy. . He was aldose friend of Louis J.

stretch of .the ' Imagination or official
rulings the use of this automobile was
for the official business of the State.
CABS ABE COSTLT
"I am -told by experts that automo
biles' and trucks in public use by per
sons who have no personal Interest, in
them are very costly to maintain. I
have estimates that there is a waste
of public money In the operation ef
these 415 state-owned cars of not less
than $300,000 or $400,000 a year. I am,
however, more conservative; and I- will
put tha total expense of the 'touring
cars arid trucks to the state, at any
where, from $150,000 to $250,000 a. year.
When governor, I wilt cut this ex
pense to the bone ; and I submit to my
opponents that there is a very definite
idem ia "Which 1 can save public
rrioney.
Mr. Pierce further said:
"I have but one -object, and that is
to give this state a clean, straightfor
ward administration, -and see that
every activity of "the state-la .adminis
tered with efficiency and economy. By
the standard of efficiency alone-1 wHi
be guided in making all state . appoint
ments. ' Unquestionably there will be
many new faces in official positions.
These new officials must measure up
to the highest standard pf American
citizenship, and they must work "for
and- earn the salaries they are paid.
"Being a farmer" and cattleman and'
knowing the serious financial condition
of these great industries, I have formed
the opinion that the main issue in this
campaign is the "reduction of the tax
.burden and-its redistribution so that
it will not all fall, as It is falling 'In
large part j today, upon the agricul
tural, home-owning and realty, inter
ests. If accurate figures could be ob
tained, I believe it would be found that
from 25 ;per cent to 6tr per cent or5 the
gross incomes of agriculture is taken
In the form of taxation, either directly
or indirectly'.- ' , ..'-; .

by the state, and a .relief from this

The secretary of state about a year
ago, during the special session of the
legislature called to consider the pro
posed 1925 exposition, pointed out hew-
$1,000,000; could .be cut off the budget
