Page overview

An interior page (p.5) of the Friday morning Butte Miner for February 24, 1922, mixing local news, advertising, and entertainment listings in a busy seven-column broadsheet layout. The dominant news stories concern a Butte Rotary Club long-distance telephone talk with Pocatello, the St. Patrick's Day/Silver Jubilee observance at St. Lawrence Church, and the school superintendent's statement on a proposed mill levy. A substantial portion of the left half is taken up by grocery and household-goods advertising (Lutey's), alongside a coupon for Mrs. Hardie's dancing and operetta class. Film listings for the Rialto and American theatres anchor the far right column, and a jury-selection notice, a disturbance charge against Felix Burns, and a death-inquiry story ('Fall Brings Death When Milkman Asks About Pal's Dying') fill the lower-middle columns.

Try it today. # Nujol *For Constipation* ## Column 2 house at 14 West Quartz street, where he went Wednesday afternoon to make enquiries about his friend, William McCarthy, another postal employe, who was found dead in his room there a few hours before. Cuffe went to the rooming house about 2:30 o'clock and enquired of the landlady, "Is it true that my friend, McCarthy is dead?" Told that it was he turned to leave. He was descending the stairway when he slipped and fell about 15 feet. He was found by Mrs. Mary Taylor, the landlady, and a doctor was called. He died at a local hospital about 4:30 o'clock from concussion of the brain, according to Dr. P. H. McCarthy. Coroner James F. Carey will conduct an inquest Saturday afternoon. Mr. Cuffe was born 32 years ago at Virginia City, Nev. He had resided here for 25 years and during the war served 19 months in France. He was known here to hundreds of citizens and gained numerous friends through his long connection with the postoffice department. He is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Tony Harris, Miss Mary Cuffe and Miss Catherine Cuffe; a brother, William Cuffe, and a brother-in-law, Tony Harris, all of this city. The funeral will take place Saturday morning at the family home, 833 Empire street. Mass will be celebrated at 9:30 o'clock at the Immaculate Conception church and interment will take place in Holy Cross cemetery. # MRS. PAULINA FISCHER SERVICES HELD THURSDAY Funeral services for Mrs. Paulina Fischer were held Thursday morning at Richards' chapel, proceeding to St. Patrick's church, where mass was celebrated. Burial was made in St. Patrick's cemetery. The pallbearers were Jule George, Tony Scheu, Gus Nickel, Frank Kenck, Rudolph Schuesser and Lou Freudenstein. # Barrington Hall The *only* Bakerized Coffee ## Column 3 # *Butte Rotarians Have Talk With Their Pocatello Friends Over Some 260 Miles of Wire* [spans columns 3-4] ## District Governor and Others Send Greetings to Gathering in the Idaho City, on Occasion of the Big Celebration. By long distance telephone, Tom Davis, district governor of the Rotary organization, on Thursday night addressed the members of the Rotary club of Pocatello, holding their celebration in their own city, 260 miles from Butte. Greetings from Butte Rotarians also went over the same wire from Dr. T. C. Witherspoon, former district governor; Malcolm Gillis, Dr. J. A. Donovan and Lester Frink, former presidents of the Butte Rotary club, and Eugene Carroll, member of the club, on behalf of the Community Chest, which he managed for this city. The Butte end of the talking was done from the office of Governor Davis on the fifth floor of the Metals Bank building. Where the Pocatello Rotarians were celebrating at the Bannack hotel each man had been furnished with an individual 'phone and ear clamps so he could hear the governor's talk as plainly as if he had been in the same room with the audience. The line must have been in fine shape, as Bert Brady, who was presiding at the Pocatello gathering, stated he could hear the Butte men clearly. Those on the Butte end of the line could hear the applause which greeted their remarks, and they could also hear the Pocatello Rotarians when they joined in singing "Montana." And both ends united in saying that "it went over fine." ### Tom Davis' Talk. It took exactly eight and a half minutes for Governor Davis to deliver his long distance address. Here is what he told the Rotarians of Pocatello: "Rotary is an organization of men—successful, to a degree, in the conduct of their line of business or vocation. It is not the biggest business, nor the best business, but the biggest and the best men—that is the aim of Rotary. Rotary proves to all its membership that all vocations and businesses are worthy ones unless made unworthy by the person following or practicing them. Rotarians show at least a potentiality of bigness by being willing to give of their time, and resources, in unselfish service to, and for, the community in which they gain their livelihood. The bigness of a Rotarian will not be decided by the amount of money that he may have, nor the size of the business he may own, though both may unquestionably show to an extent, his caliber, but he will be estimated by the willingness he shows, and the time he gives, in rendering honest, conscientious service to his vocation and his community. "'By their works ye shall know them' is the yardstick by which all Rotarians are measured. For this reason the men who are chosen to fill the classifications in Rotary are trying to put into their business or vocation a service that will result in the betterment of business conditions and the happiness of their fellowmen. ### Favors Competition. "In business Rotary favors a friendly and fair competition. We are taught 'to consider no personal success legitimate or ethical which is secured by taking unfair advantage of certain opportunities in the social order that are absolutely denied others, nor will we take advantage of opportunities to achieve material success that others will not take because of the questionable morality involved,' and this is the fundamental upon which Rotary will rise or fall. It will prove to 76,000 Rotarians, of 26 different countries, and forming approximately 1,100 clubs, that there can be decency in business dealing and that the Golden Rule was not written for idealists and theologians only. It is the great possibility of Rotary to demonstrate the use of correct business practices in the realm of ordinary commercial bartering. "Rotary is convinced that this can and will be done. To be a member of such an organization, with such potent possibilities, is a responsibility indeed. "There are men and women who do not understand the purpose for which Rotary stands, and to which it is committed. For that reason the mission of Rotary is being misinterpreted and misunderstood. A few are inclined to think that Rotary was conceived in a spirit of selfishness, with an idea of material gain as its object. This is not true, for Rotary is dedicated to the philosophy that happiness is found in giving rather than in getting, and was created to exemplify that philosophy in commonplace business channels. He profits most who serves best is a statement of spiritual rather than material or physical results. The one best serving a patron or customer, in courtesy and honest weight, will be gratified to see that customer come back again, while the one who offers all that he is and all that he hopes to be upon the altar of unselfishness will find his life filled to the brim with that indefinable something which we call happiness. ### Stands for Honesty. "Rotary stands for both honesty in weights and unselfishness in community service. Rotary is for business and for service, honestly given, for a reasonable profit upon business and for the service rendered. But it stands for more than that when it stands for and demands from its members, an active participation in every constructive community enterprise, without hope of reward other than the satisfaction which comes to a man or woman from his or her helping as a good citizen. For no other reason Rotary is insisting upon correct business practices among its members in their relation with their fellowmen. A Rotarian believes that 16 ounces make a pound, that 36 inches make a yard, that 100 cents make a dollar, and that misrepresentation of values has no place in a Rotarian establishment, and that these standards should govern buying or selling in the ordinary course of business. A Rotarian's word should be better than his bond, for bonds may be torn up or altered. The Golden Rule in business in his estimation is not only possible but a reality. "Rotary is a community organization. Our perspective is sufficiently broad to include the world. We have learned that only through co-operation and friendliness things can be accomplished. We have learned that the mud and filth of the trenches in France in 1914-18 have a very definite connection with the death of thousands of people in America from influenza in 1919; we have learned that the German mark at less than one-half a cent had much to do with the feeding of 1,200 families by a community chest in Butte, Montana, in 1921-22. We have learned that man does not, literally, live unto himself alone, and that the only possibility for ## Column 4 a modern civilization is a program for the common good of all, not the good of an individual or a nation. Rotary, with its international outlook and membership, will fill an important niche in the solution of the problems of the present and in the building of an adequate program for the whole common good, which program can only be builded upon a foundation of unselfish service, and a common regard for the rights of others. Rotary stands ready to do its part, co-operating with chambers of commerce, Kiwanis and such other organizations which include in their programs the ideal of unselfish community service. ### District Convention. "The district convention of the twentieth district is to be held at Missoula, Mont., on March 31st and April 1. The Montana men are hoping to make this conference nearly as successful as the ones held at Boise and Salt Lake City. They are counting upon you men of Idaho and Utah to help put it over. We must have 10 men and their wives from Pocatello, if this meeting is to be a success. Charley Bowerman and Finis Bentley, to say nothing of Bert and his gang, must all be present. It is, I believe, Idaho's time to elect a district governor, and I am sure that Pocatello will wish to have a decided hand in that. The social side is not being overlooked, and we are all going to have a great time. I shall be looking for all of the men of Pocatello. The ladies are particularly invited, and when they come, Mrs. Charley Bowerman is going to sing Montana for you. "The slogan at Missoula is 'Friendliness.' Rotary is a friendly club. Men call each other by their first names, and 'bawl each other out' when they need it. Men learn to forget prejudices and narrowminded ideas in Rotary. Men we thought we would not like prove to be fine fellows, while lonesomeness is impossible. Rotary is trying to find a kind thing to do; a kind word to say, and to make a little happiness in the world. Crippled children—O God bless them!: the sturdy Boy Scouts, the splendid Y. M. C. A., and every other agency for good will agree with that. Rotary is preaching the doctrine of toleration and of friendship for after all we have: "So many Gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, When only the art of being kind is all this said world needs. "Rotary does not judge, but helps; Rotary does not preach but works; Rotary makes mistakes, but Rotary always trys, and trys with a spirit of fairness and with a desire to help. "We don't set out to be no judge of right and wrong in men; We've missed the trail sometimes ourself and might get lost again, So when we find a man, who seems to have gone astray, we want to place our hand in his and help him find the way. "That is the spirit of Rotary." ### From the Others. Greetings from the other Butte men occupied altogether six and a half minutes. This is what Malcolm Gillis told the Pocatello people: "As a past president of the Butte club, I am very glad to greet the good Rotarians of Pocatello, and their wives, and to say to you that we Montana fellows are hoping to make our district conference at Missoula nearly as good as the ones held at Boise and Salt Lake City. This can only be done if Pocatello will send a large and representative delegation. "We look forward to the time when we may be able to say to you in person the things we think of you." Dr. J. A. Donovan, who spoke more especially for the Boy Scouts, of which organization he is commissioner, said: "If you have no preachers present, may I take this opportunity to offer a real, honest-to-God creed for the committee on boys' work and you fellows who are so nobly assisting them: "To live in hearts not monuments of stone; To live on humble lips that nightly pray; To be remembered when the soul has flown, As one who smiled and passed along the way." "There is one thought which I should like to leave with the Pocatello boys," said Lester Frink, "and it is a thought that is not new to any of you. At this time, when the profits of business are at the lowest ebb, is the time when we should reap the richest dividends in Rotary friendship. It is the time when we should most fully realize the truth of the slogan: 'He profits most who serves best.' Especially is this true in a Rotary friendship." "In the few moments allowed me to speak, I wish to impress upon you the benefits Rotarians derive through the privilege of being able to get together," said Dr. T. C. Witherspoon. "From city, state, sectional or international meetings those who attend invariably carry away ideals of service which they make practical in their everyday life. "There is no force more potent in accomplishing anything then that derived by getting together. It develops the very soul of action. This is true of both good and evil. "Where men are associated together for the uplift of humanity, what more splendid reason can be offered for attendance at every meeting even though at personal sacrifice. I wish I might give you a vision of the privilege of meeting for service. When all Rotarians sense it, this old world of ours is going to be a better, happier world, and men will truly say it has been good to have lived." Eugene Carroll's remarks were brief and along the same lines as the others. # CON O'NEILL SERVICES ARE LARGELY ATTENDED Funeral services for Con O'Neill, well known miner, were held Thursday morning at the family residence, 45 West Daly street, with a large gathering of friends in attendance. Mass was celebrated at St. Lawrence's church by Rev. Father Whelan and Mrs. William Malloy rendered "Face to Face" during the mass and "Some Sweet Day" as the cortege filed from the church. Interment was in St. Patrick's cemetery. The pallbearers were N. J. Duhame, R. J. McDonald, Jack McGlynn, Jim McGlynn, Flurry Sullivan and W. J. Neebes.

PATRICK'S DAY WILL BE OBSERVED ## Silver Jubilee of St. Lawrence Church Falls on That Day. Bishop Carroll Here. The observance of St. Patrick's day will have an added feature in connection with the celebration this year. It will be silver jubilee of St. Lawrence church, and the Hibernians, Ladies' Auxiliary, Knights of Columbus and other Catholic organizations will assist the parishioners of Father F. X. Baten's parish, in fittingly celebrating the day. Bishop John P. Carroll of Helena will celebrate pontifical high mass at St. Lawrence church at 10:30 o'clock that morning, assisted by several local priests, and Father S. J. Sullivan of Townsend will preach the sermon. Members of the various Irish and Catholic societies will attend the mass in a body. Judge J. J. Lynch is chairman of the committee on arrangements and Thursday afternoon announced the following as members: Anthony Lavelle, secretary; James J. Murphy, treasurer; Walter J. Sewell, Maurice J. McDonough, Thomas J. Sullivan, James M. Brown, John J. Caplis, T. J. McCarthy, Charles H. Gallagher, Kennedy, John J. McNamara, Thomas J. Sullivan, James M. Brown, Jerry John O'Leary, John Gribben, Charles Egan and John Sullivan. W. J. Sewell and T. J. McCarthy will act as ushers during the morning services. Several dancing parties are scheduled for the evening, particularly at the K. of C., Twentieth Century and A. O. H. halls. It was announced that the Hibernians would not hold a parade this year. # DOINGS OF THE "400" SHOWN IN NEW FILM NOW AT THE RIALTO Those who like to take a peep at the doings of the "Four Hundred" at play in one of the fashionable society summer resorts of America will find unique enjoyment in seeing "The Beautiful Liar," Katherine MacDonald's latest starring vehicle, directed by Wallace Worsley from the adaptation by Ruth Wightman of George Marion's "Peachie." "The Beautiful Liar," an Associated First National attraction, is showing today at the Rialto theater. No expense or pains were spared in the staging of the big scenes around the fashionable hostelry, and the notable cast gives a most faithful portrayal of the activities of the smart set in putting on an amateur benefit performance. The star is seen in the part of a demure secretary to a Wall street broker, who is masquerading as a well known musical comedy queen, and while posing as this footlight favorite is made love to by a young millionaire. How these complications are finally brought to a satisfactory conclusion makes an hour's most enjoyable entertainment. Charles Meredith appears in the leading masculine role, and other members of the supporting cast are Joseph Dowling, Wilfred Lucas, Kate Lester and Charles Wildish. Other numbers on the Rialto bill include a Mermaid comedy, Chester Outing reel and International News. Mr. H. H. Connor appearing in the singers' popularity contest, will sing this evening at 8:25 and 9:55. **HOME FROM DILLON**—Mrs. Lyston Carter and small son have returned home from Dillon where they were guests of Mrs. O.

Wyoming Near Nor. Pac. Depot BUTTE, MONT. ## Column 6 # DOUGLASS GIVES FACTS FOR VOTERS ## Superintendent of Schools Makes Statement in Regard to Proposed Six Mill Levy. Superintendent A. H. Douglass of the Butte school district on Thursday made the following statement on the proposed six mill levy for the voters to consider when called upon to pass on the matter: "If the schools close April 14, the term will be eight months for which teachers are paid, but will have been in actual session 148 days only, as there have been 12 days for which teachers were paid when schools were not in session, viz.; Labor Day; Institute Day; Thanksgiving and day following; Christmas vacation, six days; two days when schools were closed on account of deep snow. "If the schools close April 14, and reopen for the next year Sept. 10, 1922, the vacation will be 21 weeks, 147 days of continued idleness for most of the children, in a city where there are inadequate playgrounds, and inadequate organization to provide wholesome, constructive activities for children. This means to most of the children 147 days of aimless wandering on streets and in alleys, seeking some outlet for the youthful impulse to do something, without any wiser or saner guidance than youthful whim and caprice. The voter has a right to consider how much he is responsible for evil deeds done and bad habits acquired under such conditions. "If the schools close April 14, the voter has a right to consider what effect it will have on the reputation of Butte in other communities, how much it will add or detract from the attractiveness of Butte as a desirable place in which to rear families. "The voter also has a right to consider the effect of the proposed six-mill levy on the taxes he will pay next November. Many hard-working people own their own homes, and pay taxes on them. The assessment for taxation in Butte is about 27 per cent of the real value of property. A man with a home, or property, worth $5,000 pays a tax rate on an assessment of $1,350. The proposed six-mill levy would increase his taxes for next November, $8.10. It is eight months till tax paying time. The proposed levy would mean $1 per month till November 1 to meet that additional tax. A voter might consider whether the reputation of Butte and the welfare of the children was worth $1 a month to him, and he has a right to decide according to his own sense of duty. "The voter may also consider the effect of closing upon the standing of the high school, and the possible rejection of certificates from the high school by colleges and universities. He may also consider the effect of the loss of the state high school tax, which is apportioned to high schools which are in actual session 170 days of the year, of which fund the Butte high school receives $80,000. This is not a reference to the state school apportionment, which requires a six months' term, according to the constitution. "The following facts which relate to the conditions that require the six-mill levy are pertinent: "1. The expenditures for the year 1920-21 exceeded the receipts by approximately $282,000. The deficit was paid by bond issue. "2. The expenditures for the year 1921-22 are $110,000 less than in 1920-21, and the receipts are about the same, hence the deficit this year is only $170,000. This is the deficit that the six-mill levy will take care of. The law does not permit another bond issue for that purpose. "3. The receipts for this year and the preceding year have been just about enough for an eight months' term. There is no indication that the receipts for the next year will be much more. If the six-mill levy is approved, the school board may use half of it to provide a nine months' term this year and the other half to provide a nine months' term next year, but the six-mill levy is for one year only and payable in November." # JURY SELECTED FOR JUDGE CARROLL'S COURT A panel consisting of 22 names was selected by Judge William E. Carroll, Thursday morning, for the trial of civil cases, which will commence Friday morning. Out of 80 names drawn, service was obtained on 50. Of this number 28 were excused and the panel selected excused from duty Thursday, because cases set for that day had been continued or disposed of by the court. The following jurors will hear the cases coming before department two: Henry Cleary, W. H. Fuge, Charles Furlong, Earl F. Fitschen, James Lowney, Oliver Lab, William F. Mullin, E. L. Mahoney, Jr., R. C. McDonald, Charles L. McDonald, William Nance, Joseph Persche, Vincent Price, Louis F. Pohndorf, Eli Richards, Mike Redmond, James Roberts, A. J. Schwendinger, Albert Taylor, Frank Williams, John Walsh and W.H. Lost. The suit o f H. S. Kendall against Ed C. Sachs and others, in which a complaint in intervention had been filed came before Judge Carroll Thursday afternoon for hearing and after considerable argument was continued for further hearing to Saturday. The suit of A. J. Herzog against Dr. A. C. Sandberg was continued until March 27; the case of Newton Sproul against Mrs. A. Anderson, dismissed for want of prosecution, and the suit of John Lakmer against Andrew Groo continued until Friday. # DISTURBANCE CHARGED AGAINST FELIX BURNS Felix Burns is charged with disturbance of the peace in complaint filed Thursday in Justice Wilkinson's court by Deputy County Attorney J. J. Bourquin. Thomas Chapman, 248½ East Park street, is the complaining witness. Nick Pitrovich, charged with gambling, was dismissed in Justice Buckley's court Thursday morning; also Andrew Poulous, charged with petty larceny. The following cases set for trial in the same justice court for Thursday were continued as follows: Herman Strasburger, charged with first degree assault on Karl Vartia, continued two weeks; Gertrude Jones and Eva Hoover, charged with passing worthless checks, continued one week; Kong Lee, charged with gambling, continued until Saturday. ### ANNIVERSARY.
