T I P T O N , Publisher Entered, at the Postoffice at Baker, Montana, as Second Class Matter T W O D O L L A R S T H E Y EA R, S T R I C T L Y IN A D V A N C E BAKER, M O N T A N A , T H U R S D A Y , M A Y 25, 1916 Au Revoir With the last week's issue of The i * 1 f H Fallonite \we close our careers, so far as the newspaper game is concerned, in Baker, -having dflppsed o f the plant' business and good will ‘ to Butte H Tipton, a highly .-.recomnaendod. news paper man front Lewistown/ Mont. Mr. Tipton has 'been in “the busi ness for many .years'- and'will'continue to give .the patroh's 'the ;same high grade o f' p'rinting for which'this office has - been; noted; - 'W e \introduce Mr. Tipton to the public as a man of in tegrity 1 and ’ his coriiing to 'Baker '’ will1 surely be for the betterment of this city. For the' past ten months we have enjoyed the patronage o f 4 the best people in the world and it is with keen regret that we leave The Fallonite, but other business necessitates us mak ing the move. W e hope that the public will continue to take advantage of the good work that this office is capable of turning out. W e thank those who have so gra ciously patronized us and while we may have made some enemies, per haps, we have a personal interest in every person in Baker. W e bid you good bye and surrender our holdings in The Fallonite to Butte H. Tipton. C. R. Fagaines. Mable C. Fagaines. . and as nearly as pos- ^ under^ the °sihle' general policy Announcement With this issue of the Fallon Coun ty Times (formerly The Fallonite) I have taken charge of'th e newspaper, haying purchased ' it from C. R. and Mable C. Fagaines. For the present I will continue to do business in the present location ~^%ible, ■*%is formerly. As you have noted, the name of ,the paper has been changed to the 'Fallon County- Times and in the fu ture will be known under that head ing. The change was made because I felt that under the new name the newspaper would have a somewhat broader scope and its field of useful ness Bfe extended outside the confines of the city and become 'more repre sentative of the entire county of Fal lon. • M y aim and endeavor will be to reach all parts of the county and to cater to the farmer as well as the busihess man or the city man, for I know how closely linked are the in terests of both the city and country. In the near future this newspaper will have a representative in every district of Fallon county. The politics of the Fallon County Times, so far as national issues are concerned, will continue to be Dem o cratic. In the local field, however, I reserve the right to support the man or woman deserving^ of my sup port, regardless of political affiliations. * M y newspaper experience in M on tana extends over many years and has been varied, interesting and reasonably remunerative. In 1878, when this western country was overrun with Indians, buffalo and other wild ani mals, the family came overland from California by \prairie schooner,” the then fastest mode of continental tra vel. It was before the advent- o f rail roads, automobiles or aerial means of locomotion. W e landed at Helena that year and then went over to White Sulphur Springs, a pioneer settlement in'.Smith River valley. .1’.' . . j/T h i s little personal note is inter posed here to show that I am' not a tenderfoot in Montana, nor a novice in/ the newspaper and printing game. I 5am a Montana man. I understand Montana people and I like them. :nv jjilt is my intention to run this news paper on a businese basis, but princi ple will never be'sacrificed for dollars. T ° 'ery man a square deal is my . policy. N o item of news will be -)j«bwingly printed that would humili- embarrass or injure in a business '/ jjrpenonal manner any man or wom- an. whether of high or low estate. The newspaper has a power which if recklessly used could wreck o r ruin thè reputation of any man. Common., sense in wielding that power should be exercised.^ ’T h e newspaper is a semi-public institution. . It is- depen dent on the good will and support of the business jntejresits for its maintain- ande, and the community at large reaps its share of the benefits. I expect to make a success of this newspaper, to which end a share of your patronage is solicited. 4I contem plate.. a pleasant..social ., and., business relation in this prosperous and pro gressive community. Baker is a city with, a future and it is a mighty fine little city right now. That’s why I am here. Next month the plant wtll be moved to its new building near the comer of T Montana avenue and. First street West. As soon as possible I want to get acquainted with everybody in Baker and Fallon county. Butte H. Tipton. President Wilson’s Review' In a speech before the National Press club, last week, President W il son made a review of his Dast three years experience in the W h ite House and that great man spoke of his rela tions with foreign countries and the difficulties of the presidency. \If I cannot retain my moral influ ences over a man except in occasion ally knocking him down,” said the president, \if that is the only basis on which he will respect me, then for the sake of his soul, I have got to oc casionally knock him down. How in spiring*, are those. wordPfiid i o w full of kindness and sympathy from a- man who is siid by some 'to be a monster o f (he flinty hearted variety. As an illustration of his conscien-. tiousness he said that he had not been' elected president to do as he pleased because if He had it would have been much more interesting. — -During-the.course of his speech the president said, \There are two reasons why the chief wish of the Americans is for peace.’ O n e is that they love peace and have' nothing to do with the present quarrel and the other is that they believe that the present quarrel has carried those engaged in it so far that they cannot be held to ordinary standards of responsibility, and therefore, as some men have ex pressed it to me, since, the rest of the world is mad, why should we not simply refuse to have anything to do with the rest of the' world in the or dinary channels of actions? W h y not let the storm pass and then, when it is all over, have the reckonings?” Were more forceable words ever 'uttered?— And—now—perhaps-some-of- the citizens of this, broad land will understand why the president has not plunged headlong into this conflict which is breaking the backbones of some of Europe’s greatest powers. The speech throughout en tirely American and it would be to the benefit of some of our so called Americans to read it and digest the thoughts contained therein. Surely no truer American ever lived and held the office of president of the United States'- or had the affairs of the people more at heart. This is the man who is being ridiculed because of not plunging us into war with Germany or England and for sending soldiers into M exico in° pursuit of one of the . *“> # * t#* ~— - •“ * 7 ** .*■ most notorious bandits of the 'age. This is the man who' is being criti cised on every side by would be critics who consider themselves in the capa city of high minded mep^. This is the man who has-kept us .from strife with foreignUcountries-- and' retained the high standard of peace for which this nation is noted. Surely no greater respect anTtribute could be ihown..to. him than by giving him the steering wheel of the ship of state for another term and undoubtedly in that time those selfsame^ critics will consider him the greatest man of modera/rimes. vjTh'e Boutonniere«.

Tipton has been associated with the Lewistown papers for' some time and has also published newspap^- ers in various sections of the west and is, therefore, a man of versatile exper ience. W e are confident our people will find him a man of genial person ality and good business judgment. T h e Sentinel welcomes M r.

The Kaiser Issues An Order Has the Kaiser had a fit or is’ he beginning to see the light of day? D u ring the latter days of last week ’ he issued an order to—the-Germans—in America to observe the% laws of the United States. He gave every T e u tonic consul ‘ in this country orders.to aid in ending various alleged viola tions of neutrality and that all statutes must be strictly obeyed to the letter. By all present indications the ruler of Germany has discovered,that;we are not trying t o ’antagonize him Sut are trying ro uphold'international hon or and laws and is now trying- friendly relations as a balm for the work his submarines have been doing the past -year or more. Roosevelt's; popularity seems to be progressing rapidly and was at its height apparently at the republican state convention which was held-in Iowa the other day. A man named Healey said that0 R«k>sevelt was the * • 1 * • greatest man m the world and no soon èr had he madethis remark than he was hissed and hooted from the stage Similar actions from time to time in different parts of the'nation show that Teddy is about as popular as a mouse at. a spinster’s convention and that same popularftv is growing stronger as time advances. ------- , ------------------- i :■ O n e great evidence of the pros perity of this country Is the way the various manufacturing concerns have been increasing the wages of their em ployees. Surely the laboring man is entitled to more consideration than has been shown him irTthe past and it is hoped that the present good work will continue for years to come. Things are rather quiet, politically, in Fallon county right now but when they do break loose one can be pre pared for most anything. Present in dications point to warm times through out the county this summer and fall and the dark horse has just as good a chance as .the man who seems to have a sure thing. 1 11 1 λ Republicans in North Dakota are at the present time fighting among themselves - .and ’ the democrats are watching with interest. By the way things look now over in the neighbor ing state 'the \dems” %will have every thing about their own way this fall. i.i T e d d y and Ford had a meeting over in Michigan the other day. LoOk; out\ for another peace party! will be for peaces while Teddy try to kick him in tne shins. Speeches at the republican conven-j tion in Chicago will be limited fo; thirty minutes each. This will rather tough for some of the lopg winded gentry.
