VOLUME II ICHOTEAU, TETON COUNTY, MONTANA, MAY 6, 191? . .. \ '■ <- _____ _ , NUMBER 45 Federal Court Not trolled Con-Ì The Track Meet Butte, May 3.— While the case of Edward Boyle, applicant for citizenship was before him this morning, Judge George M. Bour- quin of the federal court took occasion to state that the depart ment of commerce and labor of the United States shall\ neither control the action of .this court tor impose rules upon it. He also declared that he would resist any attempt of the executive de partments of the government to interfere in any way with the con duct of bis court. “ We all know” said he, “ that the executive department at Washington has controlled con gress. But this court will never submit to control. There has been a great deal of talk in the departments as to what they would do to the courts unless the latter did as they desired. A very die tutorial spirit has grown up in the departments and the eastern news papers have been filled with inter views given out by the lesser officials on what would be done to the courts. “ This court is dependent on laws passed by congress for its existence. But while it exists as a court, it will be conducted with out interference fiom departments of the government.” Hired Man Wanted I want a man with whiskers on his face—one who believes that work is no disgrace—a man with large red hands and freckled urow, to drive the mules and guide ti*» -^ubborn * ..plow. No pale-fiaced cocaine snuffer need apply, nor an* I looking for a candy guy; for such as these the country has no charm, so send a man with heavy, brawny arm. I want no robust beggar from the streets, who shoots wet snipes and mooches what he eats, whose eyes are filled with artificial tears and who has loafed for five and- twenty years. I want a man who knows be is alive, who quits his bed before the clock strikes five, eats breakfast with a savage ap petite and toils the live-long day with all his might. No written application is re quired; these sterotyped petitions make me tired; if he has the sparkle in his honest eyes, and is fond of taking outdoor exercise, he need produce no letter, bring no friend, his first day’s work will be his recommend. I make this binding promise in return: I ’ ll pay him every cent that he can earn, my wife will boil his shirts and brush his clothes, and tie his tie when he a-courtin goes. She’ll arrange his room with true artistic skill—a sawdust cat upon the window sill, a corner what-not, delicate and small and grandpa’s picture smil ing from the wall. “ She?ll load the table with the be3t smoked meats, and eggs fresh taken from the\ nest; fried chicken with cream gravy every morn, that’s what my men must have while plowing corn. When toil is done, on a pillow fit for kings—and as soft as the rustling of a fairy’s wings—when night o’er earth’ a veil of darkness throws, my hired men take nine long hours’ repose. So send a man at once. 1’am ready now to yoke the mules and start the big gang plow; time halts for none, spring hurries on its way, I must have help, and that without delay. —Si Corntossel. - Don’t fail to hear Miss Bonner at the high school auditorium to- nigljt.
