SUBSCRIPTION RATE One Year in Sanders County $3.00 Six Months in Sanders County $1.75 One Year Outside County $3.50 Six Months Outside County $2.00 II •,( ript inns payable in advance) Politics Warming Early The political pot has started to warm a little earlier than usual. Monday Sen. James H. Murray virtually announced his in- tentions of seeking re-election to the senate next year. In a speech read by his son at Denver, Murray spoke of his \next term in office.\ He will be 84 next year. Rep. Lee Metcalf has not formally announced his intentions to run for governor, but statements he has made in the past few days leave no doubt that he is leaning toward that race. He wants to move up, but would not buck Senator Murray. The only other position left is governor. Murray and Metcalf are two potent candidates. It is doubt- ful if either would have strong opposition in the primary. If Metcalf chooses to go after Hugo's seat, the interesting race to watch in the primary will be for his congressional seat. The Soviet Chief Visits U. S. Highly controversial is the visit to the United States that Kruschev is making now. Both those favoring his visit here and those opposing it have strong arguments in their favor. The important thing, however is the attitude with which the American people accept the Russian premier's visit. If they give him a rousing welcome approaching hero worship, his visit will do more harm than good. It will give him new confidence and ammunition for attempts to further the communist doctrine and stranglehold on neutral nations. However, if Americans who see him, treat him courteously, but with firmness, his visit can be beneficial to this country. The first requisite for peace is talk and personal contact between nations seeking a solution to their differences. All of the labels bestowed on Kruschev—murderer, butcher of Hungary, dictator and an enslaver of masses—are true. A visit to America can not change his past. However, here he can see things that could increase his respect for this country, its form of government and its basic strength and freedom. Such an exposure can do no harm from our standpoint. Make no bones about it, the Russian chief is here primarily to make propaganda for the Soviets. His interest in seeing Am- erica is secondary. That is shown by the fact that he has turned down an opportunity to visit a modern housing development in the East. However, while he does not choose to see everything we would like for him to see, what he does view is certain to Im- press him. If Americans will remember at all times who he is and what he is, something can be gained by having the Kruschev family as the nation's visitors. Judge Comer To Quit Nov. 1 Judge C. E. Comer announced Tuesday he will retire Nov. 1 as district judge. He and Mrs. Comer will move to California after he retires. Judge Corner has served on the bench 27 years. His successor will be named by the governor to serve until the 1960 election. Kenneth Knudson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Knudson, was elected president of the junior high student council Tuesday. He is in the seventh grade. John Duffield, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Duffield, was elected vie president, and Marilyn Wakefield, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Wakefield, was chos- en secretary -treasurer. Both are eighth grade students. Mr. and Mrs. Pete Arnold left recently for Scottsade, Ariz., where they will spend the wint- er. When You Bank -By -Mail Any time is banking time for those who bank — by mail.
