VOL. 23 THE WINIFRED TI WINIFRED, MONTANA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1936. ns socIEA F A ANA. NO. 20 The Study of History History is story of the past; the anthology of the \Five Lit- tle Peppers and How They Grew\ on a colossal scale. It is the ever -existing and ever-changing comedy -drama of the passionate or coldly practical hopes and dreams of humankind, thwarted or realized, that often ends in tragedy. It tells of cruel and weary struggles of man against man for the right and chance to survive, for possessions or for beliefs and opinions, commonly called \principles\. Just what attitude should we take toward history? When a loved one is laid away to sleep that last long sleep from which there can be no awakening, certain things are done, not so much in honor of the dead as to keep his memory fresh in our minds and in the minds of those to follow us. The history of nations is but another form of perpetuating the living story of the big human family; it records the acts and words of those who were leaders in the political life of the nation. So we read history in order that we fully understand the events connecting us with the past and. understanding them, improve upon the past or avoid the blunders made in the past. A person becomes possessed of an idea. The idea may be good or bad but, loving his idea and having wholehearted ambition and determination, he gains a following and may change the whole political, economic or religious outlook of his nation. His name will be written into the history of his nation. Yet, scarcely any two historians will agree as to his worth or influence. To some he will be a charlatan, to others he will be a saint. In reality he was neither, only a human being, but such is the reward of greatness. History robs its leaders of their humanity and makes of them creatures which even themselves would not recognize. The true history of any nation will never be found in any one book or set of books, because historians are only human; as susceptible to jealousy and prejudice as you or I. One group of historians will select cer- tain names as being influencial and worthy of honor and slight others; a second group will select an altogether different set of heroes; a third group tells us, in very plain words, that both the first two groups are prevaricators and misconstruers of fact. Which group of historians is the student to believe? When any person reaches the point where he thinks he knows the whole truth about any character or event in history, he has disqualified himself for any discussion of that incident or character, for his mind is closed. It is impossible for persons living today to know the whole truth of historical events which are now in the making; how then can we hope to know the whole unbiased truth about events in the past? The conscientious student of history will never be content to accept the accounts of any one or group of historians. If he is really a seeker after truth, he will consult several, making allowances for the very human trait of personal like and dislike on the part of the writer. Doing that, he will likely conclude that while they all told part of the truth, none of them were impartial. No one can ever hope to be above criticism. Historians twist the true and gild the false to serve selfish or mistaken motives. The wives of Confucius and Socrates berated them as idlers and dreamers, bereft of ambition to provide for their families. It was said of the Christian Prophet that - some believed, while others doubted.\ The honest student of history will heed the injunction of Socrates when he said: \Know thyself.\ The Issue of Freedom A recent editorial in Liberty said: \Our pioneer ancestors were determined to be free men. They wanted the privilege of guiding their own destiny, of forming their own government, of living their own lives in accordance with the dictates of their con- science and intelligence. And they valued their citizenship, the Constitutional rights delegated to them. As citizens they were far better informed about their government then we are today. We were born into it. It has come to us through inheritance. And like the idle shiftless sons of rich men, having made no sacrifices for our liberties, we value them lightly. And perhaps much of the freedom we now enjoy may be lost before we awaken to the dan- gers that now confront us.\ Too many Americans pay no attention to government. They accept the proposal and passage of laws that are opposed to both the letter and spirit of the Constitution without complaint. They watch the growth of political bureaucracy, and the centralization of political power, without the slightest regard as to what they may do to onr institutions. Recent decisions of the Supreme Court in the NRA and other cases have, it is to be hoped, helped to focus a measure of public attention on the issue of freedom versus political dictator- ship. If America is to be maintained as a free democracy, the home of free men, every citizen must do his part to make it so. He must realize that there can be no temporizing with those who would hold the power within the hands of the few and work to make this country again a true democracy. Youth At The Wheel An insurance publication points out the fact that an \astound- ing percentage\ of the growing automobile death toll is caused by cars operated by boys and girls—many of them below the legal age at which they can obtain drivers' licenses. Most parents readily agree that the average 12 or 13 year old is incapable of safely and prudently operating anything as potenti- ally murderous as an automobile—but they too often make an ex- ception when it comes to their own Jimmie or Sally. It is one of the human frailties to regard one's own children as being brighter than one's neighbors—and that attitude, harmless as it is in most cases, is directly responsible for a vast and horrible waste of life. Overly youthful drivers not only cause more accidents than their elders—they cause more serious accidents. They usually drive at extreme speeds. The hazards of passing on curves, of driving on the wrong side of the road, of weaving in and out of traffic, of \jumping\ stop signals and \gunning her\ along busy streets, means little or nothing to them. Taking chances is a game to them—a game at which innocent persons are often the losers. COMMONPLACE It is impossible to escape thi results of our deeds; let us there- fore practice good works. The Buddha Little Jack Haun is a reA • • • man's man, harboring a keen dislike for noisy women. After listening to the Hilger rooters he went home and unburdened himself to Matt Specht after this fashion: \Those women just hol- lered and hollered like they were Winifred Is First Victim Of Hilger Giving Mike Barnes almost per- fect support, Hilger trounced Winifred to the tune of 10 to 4. It was Hilger's first victory of the season. Despite the lopsided score, the game was replete with thrills and fun. The near perfect rhythm of Hilger's infield was a beautiful thing to watch. Four homeruns brightened the contest crazy. Matt, it was just awful; one each by Gilpatrick and B. they made me sick.\ Harrel of Hilger and Dallich and Haun of Winifred. • • • A short while ago Julian Asia: jornson was busy in his shop try- ing out his new acetylene cutting torch, when, upon looking up, he found a large group raptly wat- ching the flame eat its way into steel. Julian says the acetylene welding flame, made of acetylene and oxygen, is the hottest flame known, reaching a temperature of 6300 degrees fahrenheit, and the cutting torch throws four jets of ordinary welding flame with a central cutting flame of pure oxygen. With the cutting torch it is possible to cut through 8 -inch steel; cutting 6 -inch steel, it cuts at the rate of 4 inches per minute. • • • A week ago I went camping with Carl Haun and his two boys Dick and Russell. No sooner had we got acquainted with most of the mosquitoes on Jim Stafford's bed ground, than Carl discovered he'd forgotten his tobacco and the battery for his old car, left there previously. In the absence of his wife, Dick got blamed for the battery and I got blamed for the tobacco. Russell got his share when the frying pan came up missing. • We were soon sitting by the fire watching the stars and the sleeping giant, an optical illusion caused by the peculiar juxtaposi- tion of two ridges, a hump of one making a perfect face and head, a hump of the other forming the body of a portly man. Soothed by the peaceful hush of quiet night, we fell asleep. But I no sooner got to sleep when someone got the bright idea it was daylight. I woke up just long enough to tell 'em where to go. After looking over Stafford's fine orchard and meadow water- ed by a remarkable irrigating system, we climbed the hill and came home. • • • While on her way home from Billings in company with her grandparents, little Miss Moneen Chipman was told they were coming to Roundup. She asks: ' What are we going to round up?\ Iva! Gaer Plays Host While Clarence Blackwelder was in Billings recently, he en- joyed a visit with his friend Iva! Geer, formerly of Winifred and who is now employed by the Billings Gazette. Ival took Clar- ence on a tour through the plant and Clarence enjoyed the whirr and hum of the busy press room, although he was slightly awed with seeing endless papers roll from the presses. Later, they went to a kittenball game in which Ival played first base. Clarence says Ival is well over six feet tall, has a marvelous reach and covers ground like no- body's business. - - Manager Carl Haun opened the hitting for Winifred with a long drive to leftfield for three bases. He was robbed of homers in the fourth and sixth when C. Kakela took his long fly and Buzzey took a bulletlike drive, but he came through in the eighth. Bud Willis displayed the best field work for the locals and in the seventh inning he matched Buzzey by taking a drive, hot from the bat of J. Harrel. Sonny Kendall and Martin Udelhoven performed like first class outfield- ers, moving in fast on infield hits to back up the ragged work of the first line defense. Frank Philps pitched the first five inn- ings, giying way to Theo. Mees after B. Harrel's homer in the sixth. Mees' slow ball stopped them until the ninth when Bud Willis went into the box to act as pallbearer of the lost cause. Catcher Mike Dallich, playing his second game for Winifred, pepped up the team and display- ed real generalship. But while blocking a runner, all the tenons of his left foot were severed in the insuing collision. He is now on crutches and hopes to be in shape to play soon; but it is very doubtful if he will be able to play soon. The Hilger team carried the noisiest and best bunch of root- ers heard on local grounds in a long while. It is very evident that Hilger's failure to win games cannot be charged to lack of support by their fans. Wini- fred goes to Hilger Sunday for a return game and we only wish we had a few \magpies\ to take with us. Mrs. J. G. Johnson Home Mayor J. G. Johnson drove to Billings Monday to meet his wife and granddaughter, Monee n Ghipman. They arrived in Win- ifred early Wednesday morning. Mrs. Johnson has been visiting in Wyoming for several weeks. MADISON HERE ON VISIT Madison S. Tnrner and wife arrived here Sunday afternoon from Brigham City, Utah, for a short visit with his father, Tom E. Turner. Since his graduation from the State University four years ago, Mr. Turner has engaged in news- paper work. He is now editing a daily advertising sheet in Brig- ham City. They left for their home early Wednesday morning. Miss Dot Turner accompanied them and will visit for a couple weeks. HAIGHT HERE YESTERDAY Herbert Haight called at the office yesterday to give us the once over and pay his subscrption. Herb, was silent on the subject of politics; he says that at pre- sent, haying and harvest take , up all of his time. Every parent should make it his business to see that his children are not permitted to drive until they have reached the legal age—and, even then, that they are carefully supervised and forced to be careful. The authorities should likewise carry on a continuous and insistent campaign to bar under -age drivers from streets and highways. If that is done, thousands of our automobile accidents will be eliminated.

C. TELLS HOW BANKS AIDED PROGRESS Economist Describes the Ways Banking Institutions Have Contributed to Develop- ment of United States OMAHA, Nebr.—Privately owned banking, despite its faults, has served America well, William A. Irwin, Pro- fessor of Economics, Washburn Col- lege. Topeka, Kansas, declared in a re- cent address here on \Banking in a Changing World.\ \Under the leadership of Individuals banking has helped to bring this coon. try to a foremost place in economic de- velopment among the nations of the world,\ he said. \The small community has been developed by the individual bank. The frontiers of America have been pushed forward by the help and counsel of the individual banker. The shocks of wars and depressions in a century and a half have been withstood with the assistance of the individual banker. Change May Be Necessary \It may be that we have reached a tide in the affairs of America when new methods are needed. It may he that we have cocoa to a point where the indi• %Irina] should be submerged for 'the greatest good of the greatest number.' \It may even be that complete cen- tralization of the banking system has become an economic necessity In our complicated social life. But the banker ought to be satisfied that these things are so before he should give up his fight for the system we have known. We came to greatness under that kind of banking; we should not give it up with. out unmistakable proof of the absolute necessity of such a change.\ The American Pattern Professor Irwin said that the pro. portal which has been advanced for co- ordinating banking operations in the national Interest under \a 'Supreme Court' for banking Is typically Ameri- can and ought to have the most seri- ous consideration of those elements which are clamoring for political con- trol, which Is typically un-American.\ It Is not wise, he said, to oppose changes as such, but that bankers should \see to it that change, if and when it does come, shall preserve all that Is good In the past and stick as closely as pos. sible to the American pattern of things.\ Banking is properly a conservative profession, he pointed out, and should cling to practices and principles of banking that are, and always have been fundamentally sound. \It Is to its credit that so large a group of its members never faltered, even in boom times, in their allegiance to those sound principles,\ he declarerl. \We probably owe our salvation from chaos to that fact.\ North Montana Fair Great Falls, Aug. 1st: Regard- less of what interests them most, men and women, adults and children, will find something to suit them at this year's North Montana Fair, August 5-10. Those whose interest centers in livestock will find displays of horses, beef and dairy cattle, swine, sheep and poultry with entries from all parts of the na- tion.

Ander- son have been enjoying a ten-day visit with his sister, Mrs. Grace Brinning, and his brother, H. L. Anderson, who came here from Washington, Iowa, accompanied by their children. Mr. and Mrs. Sam B. Ander- son accompanied them on a trip through Glacier Park last week. The party left Monday on the return journey. Enroute they plan to go through Yellowstone Park and visit Colorado Springs. New Breed of Dog Louis ;lad tound a new pup, much to his delight, and a visitor was in- terested In it. \Is your dog a setter or a pointer?\ she inquired. \It's neither,\ r6plied Louis' mother. \It's an upsetter and a disappointer.\— Indianapolis News.
