day by Untfd States District Attor
ney John V Slattery, who arrived in
Great Fa/ recently preparatory to
fall federal term of the
opening
United Sites court here September 1.
"Thei/ is no distinction as between
defend/ts in this court," said District
Attorrfy Slattery, "and the Wheeler
case will be tried in Great Falls in
its /gular turn during the coming
terrj! which will start September 1,
wit4 Judge George M. Bourquin pres
iding in place of Judge C. N. Pray,
wAo is leaving for the east on a
Month's visit. The trial of cases will
start September 8, and the case of
Senator Wheeler will take the usual
proceedure."
From September 1 to 8 will be tak
en up in court with expert and motion
matters, and unless Senator Wheeler
should ask continuance, his trial would
be called for September 16 or 20.
Judge M. Bourquin served as judge|^
of the court while Senator Wheeler as
United States district attorney prac
ticed before him for seven years, will
not try the Wheeler case but will call
in an outside federal judge, disquali
fying himself because of his previous
relations with Mr. Wheeler.
In this case an outside judge will
be called in from some other court
district, probably of the midwest.
Coolidge Philosophy
And Doctrine
"Men do not make laws. They but
discover them. Laws must be justi
fied by something more than the will
of the majority. They must rest on
the eternal foundation of the majori
ty.'
"Statutes must appeal to more than
material welfare. Wages won't satis-1
fy, be they ever so large. Nor hous- (
es; not lands; nor coupons, though |
they fall thick as the leaves of au
turan. Man has a spiritual nature.
Touch it, and it must respond as the
magnet responds to the pole."
"Do the day's work. If it be to pro
tect the rights of the weak, whoever
objects, do it. If it be to help a pow
erful corporation better to serve the
people, whatever the opposition, do
that. Expect to be called standpatter,
but don't be a standpatter. Expect
to be called a demagogue, but don't
be a demagogue. Don't hesitate to
be as revolutionary as science. Don't
hesitate to be as reactionary as the
multiplication table."
"Don't expect to build up the weak
by tearing down the strong. Don't
hurry to legislate. Give administra
tion a chance to catbh up with legisla
tion,"
"There is no problem so great but
that somewhere a man is being raised
up to meet it. There iS no moral
standard so high that the people can
not be raised up to meet it."
"It is only when men begin to wor
ship that they begin to grow."

$7,000,000 Cargo
Of Silk Passes
Through Butte
j Seven million dollars went through
Butte about 9 o'clock Thursday at a
mile a minute.
j It was a shipment of raw silk be
ing transported from Seattle to New
York over the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad in two special trains
of 11 cars each, the largest single
cargo of silk ever to enter the port of
Seattle. The trains travel 15 minutes
|
i
apart and make stops only to change
creW3 an( j enjgines at division termi
i na ] S- On this division changes are
muc ] e a j Avery, Alberton, Deer Lodge
Three Forks,
Every facility of the great railway
system is placed at the disposal of
the immensely valuable raw silk ship
ments. The trains were on the dock
when the Japanese steamship tied up
and the moment the ship was made
fast removal of the silk began. It
took one hour and 46 minutes to trans
fer the silk from ship to trains and
do all the necessary checking.
The cars are special silk refrigera
tors, specially equipped for running
at high speed. Time of the fast trans
continental trains is beaten in making
the transfer from coast to coast.
The raw silk, which comes in three
colors, pink, black and yellow, is care
fully packed in small cartons. There
are two layers of oiled silk and one
of oiled paper covering the skeins.
Each small package has a value of
about $30,000. Shipments are handl
ed by regular train crews,
trainmaster in charge,
necessary, as raw silk only has
one market.
Only a slowing down as the trains
passed over the curves and trestle
outside of the Milwaukee station
marked the passing of the millions
of dollars' worth of merchandise
through Butte.
Every hour saved in making deliv
ery of the shipment in New York cuts
off several thousand dollars' insur
ance cost.

LABOR DAY
In accordance with the law and general
custom which has existed for many years,
next Monday will be Labor Day, and a day
which will be everywhere observed as a legal
holiday. To those who are the actual bread
earners of the land it is web that one day be
set apart for recreation and twenty-four
hours release from the hum and burr of ma
chinery, to escape for a time that seething,
swarming throng of toilers as they trudge
wearily to and from their labors, Moreover,
the brain and brawn of the country the work
ing masses who earn their every penny by
the honest sweat on their brow- and by an ut
ter exhaustion that accompanies their physi
cal being at the close of the day.
And Labor Day, if put to proper use, can
be termed in higher acceptance than merely
the meaning of the phrase. It can be made
a day of gala celebration for the producers
of the wealth of the world. This fair day of
Autumn can be dealt with as the harvesters
observe their Indian summer, and anticipat
ed for many moons as a time of games, poli
ties, conversation, or a complete rest, physi
cally :*nd mentally, and possessing a "peace
that passeth all understanding." The pur
pose derived means far more than the days
activities are concerned. It leads beyond the
comprehension of the mind which morally
and socially, with loftier aspirations, and
purer thought, and a perfect contentment, at
least it creates a mighty resolve to forever
protect our country's enduring free constitu
tion, and loyal to its stainless flag.
